1 Joab, hijo de Sarvia, se dio cuenta de que el corazón del rey se inclinaba hacia Absalón.
1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.
2 Entonces Joab mandó traer de Tecoa a una mujer sabia y le dijo: Finge estar de luto. Ponte ropa de duelo y no te pongas aceite. Preséntate como una mujer que lleva mucho tiempo llorando por un muerto.
2 Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, please, and don’t anoint yourself with oil; but be as a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead.
3 Ve ante el rey y dile lo que yo te voy a decir. Entonces Joab le explicó lo que debía decir.
3 Go in to the king and speak like this to him.” So Joab put the words in her mouth.
4 La mujer de Tecoa fue ante el rey, se inclinó rostro en tierra y dijo: ¡Ayúdame, rey!
4 When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, “Help, O king!”
5 El rey preguntó: ¿Qué te pasa? Ella respondió: Soy viuda. Mi esposo murió.
5 The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
6 Tu sierva tenía dos hijos. Los dos pelearon en el campo y no había nadie que los separara. Uno golpeó al otro y lo mató.
6 Your servant had two sons; and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed him.
7 Ahora toda la familia se ha levantado contra tu sierva y dice: Entréganos al que mató a su hermano para que lo matemos por la vida de su hermano. Así también acabarán con el heredero. De ese modo apagarán la última brasa que me queda y no dejarán a mi esposo ni nombre ni descendencia sobre la tierra.
7 Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”
8 El rey dijo a la mujer: Ve a tu casa. Yo daré órdenes acerca de tu caso.
8 The king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give a command concerning you.”
9 La mujer de Tecoa respondió: Mi señor el rey, que la culpa caiga sobre mí y sobre la familia de mi padre. Que el rey y su trono queden libres de culpa.
9 The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”
10 El rey dijo: Si alguien te amenaza, tráelo ante mí y no volverá a molestarte.
10 The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.”
11 Ella dijo: Que el rey recuerde al Señor su Dios e impida que el vengador de la sangre siga destruyendo y mate a mi hijo. El rey respondió: Tan cierto como que vive el Señor, ni un cabello de la cabeza de tu hijo caerá a tierra.
11 Then she said, “Please let the king remember Yahweh your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the earth.”
12 Entonces la mujer dijo: ¿Puede tu sierva decir una palabra más a mi señor el rey? Él respondió: Habla.
12 Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” He said, “Say on.”
13 La mujer dijo: Entonces, ¿por qué has hecho algo semejante contra el pueblo de Dios? Al decir lo que acabas de decir, el rey se hace culpable por no hacer regresar al que desterró.
13 The woman said, “Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.
14 Todos tenemos que morir. Somos como agua derramada en tierra, que no puede recogerse otra vez. Pero Dios no desea quitar la vida, sino que prepara medios para que el desterrado no quede para siempre separado de él.
14 For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.
15 He venido a decir esto a mi señor el rey porque el pueblo me daba miedo. Tu sierva pensó: Hablaré con el rey. Tal vez él haga lo que le pido.
15 Now therefore, seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’
16 Tal vez el rey escuche y libre a su sierva del hombre que quiere destruirnos a mí y a mi hijo y quitarnos de la herencia de Dios.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
17 Tu sierva pensó: Que la palabra de mi señor el rey me dé paz, porque mi señor el rey es como un ángel de Dios para distinguir el bien del mal. Que el Señor tu Dios esté contigo.
17 Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’”
18 Entonces el rey dijo a la mujer: Voy a preguntarte algo. No me ocultes nada. Ella respondió: Hable mi señor el rey.
18 Then the king answered the woman, “Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.” The woman said, “Let my lord the king now speak.”
19 El rey preguntó: ¿Está Joab detrás de todo esto? La mujer respondió: Tan cierto como que tú vives, mi señor el rey, nadie puede desviarse a la derecha ni a la izquierda de lo que dice mi señor el rey. Tu servidor Joab me dio las órdenes y puso todas estas palabras en mi boca.
19 The king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant.
20 Tu servidor Joab hizo esto para presentar el asunto de otra manera. Pero mi señor tiene la sabiduría de un ángel de Dios y conoce todo lo que sucede en la tierra.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are on the earth.”
21 Entonces el rey dijo a Joab: Está bien. Haré esto. Ve y trae de regreso al joven Absalón.
21 The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”
22 Joab se inclinó rostro en tierra, bendijo al rey y dijo: Hoy tu siervo sabe que cuenta con tu favor, mi señor el rey, porque el rey ha concedido la petición de su siervo.
22 Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”
23 Joab se levantó, fue a Gesur y llevó a Absalón de regreso a Jerusalén.
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
24 Pero el rey dijo: Que vuelva a su casa y no se presente ante mí. Así Absalón regresó a su casa sin ver al rey.
24 The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.
25 En todo Israel no había nadie tan admirado por su belleza como Absalón. Desde la planta de los pies hasta la cabeza no tenía ningún defecto.
25 Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.
26 Al final de cada año se cortaba el cabello porque le pesaba mucho. El cabello cortado pesaba doscientos siclos según la medida real.
26 When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.
27 Absalón tuvo tres hijos y una hija llamada Tamar, que era una mujer muy hermosa.
27 Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.
28 Absalón vivió dos años completos en Jerusalén sin ver al rey.
28 Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and he didn’t see the king’s face.
29 Entonces mandó llamar a Joab para enviarlo al rey, pero Joab no quiso ir. Lo llamó por segunda vez, pero tampoco quiso ir.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
30 Por eso Absalón dijo a sus servidores: El campo de Joab está junto al mío y tiene cebada. Vayan y préndanle fuego. Los servidores de Absalón incendiaron el campo.
30 Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
31 Entonces Joab fue a la casa de Absalón y preguntó: ¿Por qué tus servidores prendieron fuego a mi campo?
31 Then Joab arose and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
32 Absalón respondió: Te mandé llamar para enviarte al rey y preguntarle: ¿Para qué regresé de Gesur? Habría sido mejor quedarme allí. Ahora quiero ver al rey. Si soy culpable de algo, que me mate.
32 Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”
33 Joab fue al rey y le contó esto. Entonces el rey mandó llamar a Absalón. Absalón entró, se inclinó rostro en tierra delante del rey, y el rey lo besó.
33 So Joab came to the king and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
