1 Eliseo le había dicho a la mujer cuyo hijo había resucitado: «Sal con toda tu familia y vete a vivir donde puedas, porque el Señor ha anunciado siete años de hambre en esta tierra».
1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”
2 La mujer obedeció al hombre de Dios. Ella y su familia vivieron siete años en territorio filisteo.
2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Al terminar los siete años, regresó y acudió al rey para reclamar su casa y sus tierras.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
4 En ese momento el rey hablaba con Giezi, el servidor del hombre de Dios. Le había pedido: «Cuéntame todas las grandes cosas que ha hecho Eliseo».
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Mientras Giezi le contaba cómo Eliseo había devuelto la vida a un niño, llegó la mujer cuyo hijo había resucitado para reclamar su casa y sus tierras. Giezi dijo: «Mi señor rey, aquí está la mujer, y este es el hijo al que Eliseo devolvió la vida».
5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 El rey interrogó a la mujer, y ella le contó lo sucedido. Entonces ordenó a un funcionario: «Devuélvele todo lo que le pertenece, junto con el producto de sus campos desde el día en que se fue hasta hoy».
6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
7 Eliseo llegó a Damasco. Ben-adad, rey de Siria, estaba enfermo, y le informaron: «Ha llegado el hombre de Dios».
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8 El rey le dijo a Hazael: «Lleva un regalo al hombre de Dios y consulta por medio de él al Señor. Pregúntale si me recuperaré de esta enfermedad».
8 The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
9 Hazael fue a verlo con regalos de toda clase de productos valiosos de Damasco, cargados en cuarenta camellos. Al llegar, dijo: «Ben-adad, rey de Siria, que se considera tu hijo, me envía a preguntarte si se recuperará de su enfermedad».
9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
10 Eliseo le respondió: «Ve y dile: “Te recuperarás”. Sin embargo, el Señor me ha mostrado que morirá».
10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”
11 Eliseo mantuvo la mirada fija en Hazael hasta que este se sintió incómodo. Luego el hombre de Dios comenzó a llorar.
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
12 Hazael le preguntó: «¿Por qué lloras, señor mío?». Eliseo respondió: «Porque sé el daño que harás a los israelitas. Prenderás fuego a sus ciudades fortificadas, matarás a espada a sus jóvenes, estrellarás contra el suelo a sus niños y abrirás el vientre de sus mujeres embarazadas».
12 Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael dijo: «¿Quién soy yo, tu servidor, para hacer algo tan terrible? No soy más que un perro». Eliseo respondió: «El Señor me ha mostrado que serás rey de Siria».
13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
14 Hazael dejó a Eliseo y volvió a ver a su señor. Ben-adad le preguntó: «¿Qué te dijo Eliseo?». Él respondió: «Me dijo que te recuperarás».
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15 Pero al día siguiente Hazael tomó una manta, la mojó con agua y cubrió con ella el rostro de Ben-adad hasta que murió. Entonces Hazael ocupó su lugar como rey.
15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
16 En el quinto año de Joram hijo de Acab, rey de Israel, comenzó a reinar Joram hijo de Josafat, rey de Judá.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Joram tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Siguió el camino de los reyes de Israel, como la familia de Acab, pues se había casado con una hija de Acab. Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
19 Sin embargo, el Señor no quiso destruir a Judá por causa de su servidor David, a quien había prometido mantener siempre una descendencia.
19 However, Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20 Durante el reinado de Joram, Edom se rebeló contra Judá y nombró a su propio rey.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 Joram cruzó hacia Zair con todos sus carros de guerra. Los edomitas lo rodearon, pero de noche él se levantó y abrió paso a través de ellos, atacando también a los jefes de sus carros. Su ejército huyó a sus hogares.
21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 Así Edom se libró del dominio de Judá, y sigue independiente hasta hoy. Por esa misma época también se rebeló Libna.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Los demás hechos de Joram y todo lo que hizo están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá.
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Joram murió y fue sepultado con sus antepasados en la Ciudad de David. Su hijo Ocozías ocupó su lugar como rey.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
25 En el año doce de Joram hijo de Acab, rey de Israel, comenzó a reinar Ocozías hijo de Joram, rey de Judá.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
26 Ocozías tenía veintidós años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó un año en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Atalía y era descendiente de Omri, rey de Israel.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Ocozías siguió el camino de la familia de Acab e hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, pues estaba unido por matrimonio a esa familia.
27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
28 Fue con Joram hijo de Acab a combatir contra Hazael, rey de Siria, en Ramot de Galaad. Allí los sirios hirieron a Joram.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Joram, rey de Israel, volvió a Jezreel para recuperarse de las heridas que había recibido al combatir contra Hazael en Ramot de Galaad. Ocozías hijo de Joram, rey de Judá, fue a visitarlo porque estaba herido.
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
