RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And after this came the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them [some] of the Meunites, against Jehoshaphat to battle.

1 PASADAS estas cosas, aconteció que los hijos de Moab y de Ammón, y con ellos [otros] de los Ammonitas, vinieron contra Josaphat á la guerra.

2 And they came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, There is come against thee a great multitude from Syria, from beyond the sea; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, this is Engedi.

2 Y acudieron, y dieron aviso á Josaphat, diciendo: Contra ti viene una grande multitud de la otra parte de la mar, y de la Siria; y he aquí ellos están en Hasasón-tamar, que es Engedi.

3 And Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set his face to seek the Lord earnestly, and he proclaimed a fast in all Judah.

3 Entonces él tuvo temor; y puso Josaphat su rostro para consultar á Jehová, é hizo pregonar ayuno á todo Judá.

4 And Judah gathered themselves together to seek after the Lord: even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

4 Y juntáronse los de Judá para pedir [socorro] á Jehová: y también de todas las ciudades de Judá vinieron á pedir á Jehová.

5 And Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, in front of the new court.

5 Púsose entonces Josaphat en pie en la reunión de Judá y de Jerusalem, en la casa de Jehová, delante del atrio nuevo;

6 And he said, O Lord God of my fathers, art not thou God in heaven above, and art not thou Lord of all the kingdoms of the nations? and [is there] not in thy hand the might of dominion, and there is no one who can resist thee?

6 Y dijo: Jehová Dios de nuestros padres, ¿no eres tú Dios en los cielos, y te enseñoreas en todos los reinos de las Gentes? ¿no está en tu mano tal fuerza y potencia, que no hay quien te resista?

7 Art not thou the Lord that didst destroy the inhabitants of this land before the face of thy people Israel, and didst give it to thy beloved seed of Abraham forever?

7 Dios nuestro, ¿no echaste tú los moradores de aquesta tierra delante de tu pueblo Israel, y la diste á la simiente de Abraham tu amigo para siempre?

8 And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying,

8 Y ellos han habitado en ella, y te han edificado en ella santuario á tu nombre, diciendo:

9 If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgment, pestilence, famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee (for thy name [is] upon this house), and we will cry to thee because of the affliction, and thou shalt hear, and deliver.

9 Si mal viniere sobre nosotros, ó espada de castigo, ó pestilencia, ó hambre, presentarnos hemos delante de esta casa, y delante de ti, (porque tu nombre está en esta casa,) y de nuestras tribulaciones clamaremos á ti, y tú nos oirás y salvarás.

10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and Mount Seir, with regard to whom thou didst not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Egypt (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them)—

10 Ahora pues, he aquí los hijos de Ammón y de Moab, y [los del] monte de Seir, á [la tierra de] los cuales no quisiste que pasase Israel cuando venían de la tierra de Egipto, sino que se apartasen de ellos, y no los destruyesen;

11 yet now, behold, they make attempts against us, to come forth to cast us out from our inheritance which thou gavest us.

11 He aquí ellos nos dan el pago, viniendo á echarnos de tu heredad, que tú nos diste á poseer.

12 O Lord our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no strength to resist this great multitude that is come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them: but our eyes are toward thee.

12 ¡Oh Dios nuestro! ¿no los juzgarás tú? porque en nosotros no hay fuerza contra tan grande multitud que viene contra nosotros: no sabemos lo que hemos de hacer, mas á ti [volvemos] nuestros ojos.

13 And all Judah was standing before the Lord, and their children, and their wives.

13 Y todo Judá estaba en pie delante de Jehová, con sus niños, y sus mujeres, y sus hijos.

14 And Jahaziel the [son] of Zechariah, of the children of Benaiah, of the sons of Jeiel the sons of Mattaniah the Levite, of the sons of Asaph—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord in the assembly:

14 Y estaba allí Jahaziel hijo de Zachârías, hijo de Benaías, hijo de Jeiel, hijo de Mathanías, Levita de los hijos de Asaph, sobre el cual vino el espíritu de Jehová en medio de la reunión;

15 and he said, Hear ye, all Judah, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you, even you, Fear not, neither be alarmed, before all this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

15 Y dijo: Oid, Judá todo, y vosotros moradores de Jerusalem, y tú, rey Josaphat. Jehová os dice así: No temáis ni os amedrentéis delante de esta tan grande multitud; porque no es vuestra la guerra, sino de Dios.

16 Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz, and ye shall find them at the extremity of the river of the wilderness of Jeriel.

16 Mañana descenderéis contra ellos: he aquí que ellos subirán por la cuesta de Sis, y los hallaréis junto al arroyo, antes del desierto de Jeruel.

17 It is not for you to fight: understand these things, and see the deliverance of the Lord with you, Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, neither be afraid to go forth tomorrow to meet them; and the Lord shall be with you.

17 No habrá para qué vosotros peleéis en este [caso]: paraos, estad quedos, y ved la salud de Jehová con vosotros. Oh Judá y Jerusalem, no temáis ni desmayéis; salid mañana contra ellos, que Jehová será con vosotros.

18 And Jehoshaphat bowed with his face [to the ground] with all Judah and the dwellers in Jerusalem, [and] they fell before the Lord to worship the Lord.

18 Entonces Josaphat se inclinó rostro por tierra, y asimismo todo Judá y los moradores de Jerusalem se postraron delante de Jehová, y adoraron á Jehová.

19 And the Levites of the children of Kohath, and [they] of the sons of Korah, rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

19 Y levantáronse los Levitas de los hijos de Coath y de los hijos de Coré, para alabar á Jehová el Dios de Israel á grande y alta voz.

20 And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Judah, and the dwellers in Jerusalem; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honored; trust in his prophet, and ye shall prosper.

20 Y como se levantaron por la mañana, salieron por el desierto de Tecoa. Y mientras ellos salían, Josaphat estando en pie, dijo: Oidme, Judá y moradores de Jerusalem. Creed á Jehová vuestro Dios, y seréis seguros; creed á sus profetas, y seréis prosperados.

21 And he took counsel with the people, and set appointed men to sing psalms and praises, to give thanks, and sing the holy songs of praise in going forth before the host: and they said, Give thanks to the Lord, For his mercy [endures] forever.

21 Y habido consejo con el pueblo, puso á algunos que cantasen á Jehová, y alabasen en la hermosura de la santidad, mientras que salía la gente armada, y dijesen: Glorificad á Jehová, porque su misericordia es para siempre.

22 And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] Mount Seir that came out against Judah; and they were routed.

22 Y como comenzaron con clamor y con alabanza, puso Jehová contra los hijos de Ammón, de Moab, y del monte de Seir, las emboscadas [de ellos mismos] que venían contra Judá, y matáronse los unos á los otros:

23 Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the dwellers in Mount Seir, to destroy and consume them; and when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.

23 Pues los hijos de Ammón y Moab se levantaron contra los del monte de Seir, para matarlos y destruirlos; y como hubieron acabado á los del monte de Seir, cada cual ayudó á la destrucción de su compañero.

24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, and looked, and saw the multitude, and, behold, [they were] all fallen dead upon the earth, not one escaped.

24 Y luego que vino Judá á la atalaya del desierto, miraron hacia la multitud; mas he aquí yacían ellos en tierra muertos, que ninguno había escapado.

25 And Jehoshaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things: and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.

25 Viniendo entonces Josaphat y su pueblo á despojarlos, hallaron en ellos muchas riquezas entre los cadáveres, así vestidos como preciosos enseres, los cuales tomaron para sí, tantos, que no los podían llevar: tres días duró el despojo, porque era mucho.

26 And it came to pass on the fourth day they were gathered to the Valley of Blessing; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place the Valley of Blessing, until this day.

26 Y al cuarto día se juntaron en el valle de Beracah; porque allí bendijeron á Jehová, y por esto llamaron el nombre de aquel paraje el valle de Beracah, hasta hoy.

27 And all the men of Judah returned to Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat led them with great joy; for the Lord gave them joy over their enemies.

27 Y todo Judá y los de Jerusalem, y Josaphat á la cabeza de ellos, volvieron para tornarse á Jerusalem con gozo, porque Jehová les había dado gozo de sus enemigos.

28 And they entered into Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, [going] into the house of the Lord.

28 Y vinieron á Jerusalem con salterios, arpas, y bocinas, á la casa de Jehová.

29 And there was a terror of the Lord upon all the kingdoms of the land, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.

29 Y fué el pavor de Dios sobre todos los reinos de aquella tierra, cuando oyeron que Jehová había peleado contra los enemigos de Israel.

30 And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace; and his God gave him rest round about.

30 Y el reino de Josaphat tuvo reposo; porque su Dios le dió reposo de todas partes.

31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah, being thirty-five years [old] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.

31 Así reinó Josaphat sobre Judá: de treinta y cinco años era cuando comenzó á reinar, y reinó veinte y cinco años en Jerusalem. El nombre de su madre fué Azuba, hija de Silhi.

32 And he walked in the ways of his father Asa, and turned not aside from doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.

32 Y anduvo en el camino de Asa su padre, sin apartarse de él, haciendo lo recto en los ojos de Jehová.

33 Nevertheless the high places yet remained; and as yet the people did not direct their heart to the Lord God of their fathers.

33 Con todo eso los altos no eran quitados; que el pueblo aun no había enderezado su corazón al Dios de sus padres.

34 And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu [the son] of Hanani, who wrote the book of the kings of Israel.

34 Lo demás de los hechos de Josaphat, primeros y postreros, he aquí están escritos en las palabras de Jehú hijo de Hanani, del cual es hecha mención en el libro de los reyes de Israel.

35 And afterward Jehoshaphat king of Judah entered into an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel (now this was an unrighteous man),

35 Pasadas estas cosas, Josaphat rey de Judá trabó amistad con Ochôzías rey de Israel, el cual fué dado á la impiedad:

36 by acting [with] and going to him, to build ships to go to Tarshish: and he built ships in Ezion-geber.

36 E hizo con él compañía para aparejar navíos que fuesen á Tharsis; y construyeron los navíos en Esion-geber.

37 And Eliezer the [son] of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Forasmuch as thou hast allied thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord has broken thy work, and thy vessels have been wrecked. And they could not go to Tarshish.

37 Entonces Eliezer hijo de Dodava de Mareosah, profetizó contra Josaphat, diciendo: Por cuanto has hecho compañía con Ochôzías, Jehová destruirá tus obras. Y los navíos se rompieron, y no pudieron ir á Tharsis.
