WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ.

1 Y DURMIÓ Abías con sus padres, y fué sepultado en la ciudad de David. Y reinó en su lugar su hijo Asa, en cuyos días tuvo sosiego el país por diez años.

1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.

2 Καὶ ἀπέστησε τὰ θυσιαστήρια τῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ, καὶ συνέτριψε τὰς στήλας, καὶ ἐξέκοψε τὰ ἄλση,

2 E hizo Asa lo bueno y lo recto en los ojos de Jehová su Dios.

2 Asa did that which was good and right in Yahweh his God’s eyes,

3 καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδα ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ ποιῆσαι τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς.

3 Porque quitó los altares del [culto] ajeno, y los altos; quebró las imágenes, y taló los bosques;

3 for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles,

4 Καὶ ἀπέστησεν ἀπὸ πασῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα, καὶ εἰρήνευσε πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα,

4 Y mandó á Judá que buscasen á Jehová el Dios de sus padres, y pusiesen por obra la ley y sus mandamientos.

4 and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command.

5 ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ πόλεμος ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσι τούτοις, ὅτι κατέπαυσε Κύριος αὐτῷ.

5 Quitó asimismo de todas las ciudades de Judá los altos y las imágenes, y estuvo el reino quieto delante de él.

5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

6 Καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδα, οἰκοδομήσωμεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας, καὶ ποιήσωμεν τείχη καὶ πύργους καὶ πύλας καὶ μοχλοὺς, ἐνώπιον τῆς γῆς κυριεύσομεν· ὅτι καθὼς ἐξεζητήσαμεν Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, ἐξεζήτησεν ἡμᾶς, καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἡμᾶς κυκλόθεν, καὶ εὐώδωσεν ἡμῖν.

6 Y edificó ciudades fuertes en Judá, por cuanto había paz en la tierra, y no había guerra contra él en aquellos tiempos; porque Jehová le había dado reposo.

6 He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest.

7 Καὶ ἐγένετο δύναμις τῷ Ἀσὰ ὁπλοφόρων αἰρόντων θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες, καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν πελτασταὶ καὶ τοξόται διακόσιαι καὶ ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες, πάντες οὗτοι πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως.

7 Dijo por tanto á Judá: Edifiquemos estas ciudades, y cerquémoslas de muros con torres, puertas, y barras, ya que la tierra es nuestra: porque hemos buscado á Jehová nuestro Dios, hémosle buscado, y él nos ha dado reposo de todas partes. Edificaron pues, y fueron prosperados.

7 For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.

8 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς Ζαρὲ ὁ Αἰθίοψ ἐν δυνάμει ἐν χιλίαις χιλιάσι καὶ ἅρμασι τριακοσίοις, καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως Μαρησά.

8 Tuvo también Asa ejército que traía escudos y lanzas: de Judá trescientos mil, y de Benjamín doscientos y ochenta mil que traían escudos y flechaban arcos; todos hombres diestros.

8 Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.

9 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἀσὰ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ, καὶ παρετάξατο πόλεμον ἐν τῇ φάραγγι κατὰ Βοῤῥᾶν Μαρησά.

9 Y salió contra ellos Zera Etiope con un ejército de mil millares, y trescientos carros; y vino hasta Maresa.

9 Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

10 Καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἀσὰ πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε, οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοὶ σώζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις· κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πεποιθαμεν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθομεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρὸς σὲ ἄνθρωπος.

10 Entonces salió Asa contra él, y ordenaron la batalla en el valle de Sephata junto á Maresa.

10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11 Καὶ ἐπάταξε Κύριος τοὺς Αἰθίοπας ἐναντίον Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔφυγον Αἰθίοπες,

11 Y clamó Asa á Jehová su Dios, y dijo: Jehová, no tienes tú más con el grande que con el que ninguna fuerza tiene, para dar ayuda. Ayúdanos, oh Jehová Dios nuestro, porque en ti nos apoyamos, y en tu nombre venimos contra este ejército. Oh Jehová, tú eres nuestro Dios: no prevalezca contra ti el hombre.

11 Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”

12 καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς Ἀσὰ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως Γεδώρ· καὶ ἔπεσον Αἰθίοπες ὥστε μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτοῖς περιποίησιν, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά.

12 Y Jehová deshizo los Etiopes delante de Asa y delante de Judá; y huyeron los Etiopes.

12 So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

13 Καὶ ἐξέκοψαν τὰς κώμας αὐτῶν κύκλῳ Γεδὼρ, ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν, ὅτι πολλὰ σκῦλα ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς.

13 Y Asa, y el pueblo que con él estaba, lo siguió hasta Gerar: y cayeron los Etiopes hasta no quedar en ellos aliento; porque fueron deshechos delante de Jehová y de su ejército. Y [les] tomaron muy grande despojo.

13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before Yahweh and before his army. Judah’s army carried away very much booty.

14 Καί γε σκηνὰς κτήσεων, καὶ τοὺς Ἀλιμαζονεῖς ἐξέκοψαν, καὶ ἔλαβον πρόβατα πολλὰ καὶ καμήλους, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

14 Batieron también todas las ciudades alrededor de Gerar, porque el terror de Jehová fué sobre ellos: y saquearon todas las ciudades, porque había en ellas gran despojo. 15 Asimismo dieron sobre las cabañas de los ganados, y trajeron muchas ovejas y camellos, y volviéronse á Jerusalem.

14 They struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of Yahweh came on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. 15 They also struck the tents of those who had livestock, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, then returned to Jerusalem.
