Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
1 Y COMO Roboam hubo confirmado el reino, dejó la ley de Jehová, y con él todo Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
2 Y en el quinto año del rey Roboam subió Sisac rey de Egipto contra Jerusalem, (por cuanto se habían rebelado contra Jehová,)
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horse: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
3 Con mil y doscientos carros, y con sesenta mil hombres de á caballo: mas el pueblo que venía con él de Egipto, no tenía número; [á saber], de Libios, Sukienos, y Etiopes.
4 And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
4 Y tomó las ciudades fuertes de Judá, y llegó hasta Jerusalem.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, Ye have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Shishak.
5 Entonces vino Semeías profeta á Roboam y á los príncipes de Judá, que estaban reunidos en Jerusalem por causa de Sisac, y díjoles: Así ha dicho Jehová: Vosotros me habéis dejado, y yo también os he dejado en manos de Sisac.
6 And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
6 Y los príncipes de Israel y el rey se humillaron, y dijeron: Justo es Jehová.
7 And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Shemaiah, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
7 Y como vió Jehová que se habían humillado, fué palabra de Jehová á Semeías, diciendo: Hanse humillado; no los destruiré; antes los salvaré en breve, y no se derramará mi ira contra Jerusalem por mano de Sisac.
8 Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
8 Empero serán sus siervos; para que sepan qué es servirme á mí, y servir á los reinos de las naciones.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king’s house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
9 Subió pues Sisac rey de Egipto á Jerusalem, y tomó los tesoros de la casa de Jehová, y los tesoros de la casa del rey; todo lo llevó: y tomó los paveses de oro que Salomón había hecho.
10 And King Rehoboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Shishak set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
10 Y en lugar de ellos hizo el rey Roboam paveses de metal, y entrególos en manos de los jefes de la guardia, los cuales custodiaban la entrada de la casa del rey.
11 And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
11 Y cuando el rey iba á la casa de Jehová, venían los de la guardia, y traíanlos, y [después] los volvían á la cámara de la guardia.
12 And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Judah.
12 Y como él se humilló, la ira de Jehová se apartó de él, para no destruirlo del todo: y también en Judá las cosas fueron bien.
13 So King Rehoboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
13 Fortificado pues Roboam, reinó en Jerusalem: y era Roboam de cuarenta y un años cuando comenzó á reinar, y diecisiete años reinó en Jerusalem, ciudad que escogió Jehová de todas las tribus de Israel, para poner en ella su nombre. Y el nombre de su madre fué Naama Ammonita.
14 And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
14 E hizo lo malo, porque no apercibió su corazón para buscar á Jehová.
15 And the acts of Rehoboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and Iddo the seer, with his achievements.
15 Y las cosas de Roboam, primeras y postreras, ¿no están escritas en los libros de Semeías profeta y de Iddo vidente, en la cuenta de los linajes? Y entre Roboam y Jeroboam hubo perpetua guerra.
16 And Rehoboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Rehoboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
16 Y durmió Roboam con sus padres, y fué sepultado en la ciudad de David: y reinó en su lugar Abías su hijo.
