1 El profeta Eliseo llamó a un joven del grupo de profetas y le dijo: «Prepárate para salir. Toma esta vasija de aceite y ve a Ramot de Galaad.
1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
2 Allí busca a Jehú hijo de Josafat y nieto de Nimsi. Sácalo de entre sus compañeros y llévalo a una habitación aparte.
2 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
3 Derrama el aceite sobre su cabeza y dile: “El Señor dice: Te unjo como rey de Israel”. Después abre la puerta y huye sin demora».
3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
4 El joven profeta fue a Ramot de Galaad.
4 So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
5 Cuando llegó, encontró a los jefes del ejército reunidos y dijo: «Jefe, tengo un mensaje para ti». Jehú preguntó: «¿Para cuál de nosotros?». Él respondió: «Para ti, jefe».
5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, O captain.”
6 Jehú se levantó y entró en la casa. El joven derramó el aceite sobre su cabeza y dijo: «El Señor, Dios de Israel, dice: “Te unjo como rey de Israel, el pueblo del Señor.
6 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel.
7 Acabarás con la familia de Acab, tu señor. Así castigaré a Jezabel por la sangre de mis servidores los profetas y de todos los servidores del Señor.
7 You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 Toda la familia de Acab desaparecerá. Acabaré con todos sus descendientes varones en Israel, sean esclavos o libres.
8 For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
9 Haré con la familia de Acab lo mismo que hice con la de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat y con la de Baasa hijo de Ahías.
9 I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
10 Los perros devorarán a Jezabel en el terreno de Jezreel, y nadie la sepultará”». Luego el joven abrió la puerta y huyó.
10 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
11 Jehú salió a reunirse con los oficiales de su señor. Uno le preguntó: «¿Todo está bien? ¿Qué quería ese loco?». Jehú respondió: «Ya conocen al hombre y su manera de hablar».
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
12 Ellos dijeron: «No trates de engañarnos. Cuéntanos qué pasó». Jehú respondió: «Me dijo: “El Señor dice: Te unjo como rey de Israel”».
12 They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘Yahweh says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”
13 Enseguida todos tomaron sus mantos y los extendieron bajo los pies de Jehú, sobre los escalones. Luego tocaron el cuerno y gritaron: «¡Jehú es rey!».
13 Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”
14 Así Jehú hijo de Josafat y nieto de Nimsi conspiró contra Joram. Joram y el ejército de Israel habían defendido Ramot de Galaad frente a Hazael, rey de Siria.
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
15 Pero Joram había regresado a Jezreel para recuperarse de las heridas que recibió al combatir contra Hazael. Jehú dijo a los oficiales: «Si están de acuerdo conmigo, no dejen que nadie salga de la ciudad para llevar la noticia a Jezreel».
15 but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.”
16 Jehú subió a su carro y fue a Jezreel, donde Joram descansaba de sus heridas. Ocozías, rey de Judá, había ido a visitarlo.
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
17 El centinela de la torre de Jezreel vio acercarse al grupo de Jehú y avisó: «Viene un grupo de hombres». Joram ordenó: «Envía a un jinete a preguntarles si vienen en son de paz».
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
18 El jinete salió y dijo: «El rey pregunta si vienen en son de paz». Jehú respondió: «¿Qué te importa a ti eso? Ponte detrás de mí». El centinela informó: «El jinete llegó hasta ellos, pero no regresa».
18 So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 Joram envió a otro jinete. Al llegar, este dijo: «El rey pregunta si vienen en son de paz». Jehú respondió: «¿Qué te importa a ti eso? Ponte detrás de mí».
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
20 El centinela informó: «El segundo jinete tampoco regresa. El que conduce parece Jehú nieto de Nimsi, porque maneja como un loco».
20 The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
21 Joram ordenó: «Preparen mi carro». Lo prepararon, y Joram, rey de Israel, y Ocozías, rey de Judá, salieron cada uno en su carro al encuentro de Jehú. Lo encontraron en el terreno de Nabot de Jezreel.
21 Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
22 Al verlo, Joram le preguntó: «Jehú, ¿vienes en son de paz?». Él respondió: «¿Cómo puede haber paz mientras continúan la prostitución y las hechicerías de tu madre Jezabel?».
22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
23 Joram hizo girar su carro para huir y gritó a Ocozías: «¡Traición, Ocozías!».
23 Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
24 Jehú tensó el arco con todas sus fuerzas y disparó una flecha que atravesó a Joram entre los hombros y le salió por el corazón. Joram cayó muerto en su carro.
24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Entonces Jehú le dijo a Bidcar, su oficial: «Levántalo y échalo en el terreno de Nabot de Jezreel. Recuerda que cuando tú y yo cabalgábamos detrás de Acab, su padre, el Señor pronunció esta sentencia contra él:
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:
26 “Ayer vi la sangre de Nabot y la de sus hijos. Te castigaré en este mismo terreno”, dice el Señor. Ahora échalo allí, conforme a la palabra del Señor».
26 ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to Yahweh’s word.”
27 Al ver lo ocurrido, Ocozías, rey de Judá, huyó por el camino de la casa del jardín. Jehú lo persiguió y ordenó: «¡Mátenlo también!». Lo hirieron en su carro en la subida a Gur, cerca de Ibleam. Logró huir a Meguido, pero allí murió.
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Sus servidores llevaron el cuerpo en un carro a Jerusalén y lo sepultaron con sus antepasados en la Ciudad de David.
28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
29 Ocozías había comenzado a reinar sobre Judá en el año once de Joram hijo de Acab.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
30 Cuando Jehú llegó a Jezreel, Jezabel se enteró. Se pintó los ojos, arregló su cabello y se asomó a la ventana.
30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Al entrar Jehú por la puerta de la ciudad, ella le gritó: «¿Vienes en son de paz, Zimri, asesino de tu señor?».
31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
32 Jehú miró hacia la ventana y preguntó: «¿Quién está de mi parte?». Dos o tres funcionarios del palacio se asomaron.
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
33 Jehú les ordenó: «¡Arrójenla!». Ellos la arrojaron por la ventana. Su sangre salpicó la pared y los caballos, que la pisotearon.
33 He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
34 Jehú entró, comió y bebió. Después dijo: «Vayan a sepultar a esa mujer maldita, pues es hija de un rey».
34 When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”
35 Fueron a sepultarla, pero solo encontraron el cráneo, los pies y las palmas de las manos.
35 They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Volvieron y se lo contaron a Jehú. Él dijo: «Se ha cumplido lo que el Señor anunció por medio de su servidor Elías el tisbita: “En el terreno de Jezreel, los perros devorarán la carne de Jezabel.
36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
37 Su cuerpo quedará como estiércol sobre la tierra en el terreno de Jezreel, de modo que nadie pueda decir: ‘Esta es Jezabel’”».
37 and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
