1 Poco después Najás condujo el ejército de los amonitas contra la ciudad israelita de Jabés de Galaad. Pero los habitantes de Jabés le suplicaron la paz. ―Pon las condiciones y te serviremos —le propusieron.
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
2 ―Bien —contestó Najás—, pero con una condición: le sacaré el ojo derecho a cada uno de ustedes como una afrenta para Israel.
2 Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
3 ―Danos siete días para ver si podemos obtener ayuda —respondieron los ancianos de Jabés—. Si ninguno de nuestros hermanos viene a ayudarnos, aceptaremos tus condiciones.
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
4 Cuando los mensajeros llegaron a Guibeá, ciudad de Saúl, y contaron lo que ocurría, todos se pusieron a llorar.
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Saúl estaba arando en el campo, y cuando regresó al pueblo preguntó: «¿Qué pasa? ¿Por qué están llorando?». Al enterarse de lo que habían mandado a decir los de Jabés,
5 Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6 el Espíritu de Dios vino poderosamente sobre Saúl, y se enojó mucho.
6 God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
7 Tomó dos bueyes, los cortó en pedazos, y los envió por todo Israel con este mensaje: «Esto es lo que le ocurrirá a los bueyes de cada uno que se niegue a seguir a Saúl y a Samuel a la batalla». Y Dios hizo que el pueblo sintiera temor por la ira de Saúl, y acudieron como un solo hombre.
7 He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8 Él los contó en Bézec y vio que eran trescientos mil, además de treinta mil que vinieron de Judá.
8 He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Entonces envió los mensajeros de regreso a Jabés de Galaad para que dijeran: «Los rescataremos antes de mañana al mediodía». ¡Hubo gran alegría en toda la ciudad cuando llegó aquel mensaje!
9 They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Y los de Jabés mandaron a decir a sus enemigos: «Nos rendiremos. Mañana saldremos y podrán hacer con nosotros lo que quieran».
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
11 Al día siguiente, muy temprano, Saúl llegó. Tras dividir al ejército en tres columnas, lanzó un ataque sorpresivo sobre los amonitas y durante toda la mañana estuvo diezmando al enemigo. La persecución fue tan tenaz, que no quedaron juntos ni siquiera dos.
11 On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12 El pueblo le dijo a Samuel: ―¿Dónde están los que decían que Saúl no podría ser nuestro rey? Tráiganlos y los mataremos.
12 The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
13 Pero Saúl respondió: ―Nadie será ejecutado hoy, porque el Señor ha salvado a Israel.
13 Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”
14 Y Samuel le dijo al pueblo: ―Vengan, vamos a Gilgal y confirmemos a Saúl como rey.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
15 En Gilgal, en una ceremonia solemne delante del Señor, coronaron rey a Saúl, y ofrecieron sacrificios de paz al Señor. Saúl y todo Israel estaban llenos de felicidad.
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yahweh in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before Yahweh; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
