1 Un día más tarde el príncipe Jonatán le dijo a su escudero: «Vamos, crucemos el valle hasta la guarnición de los filisteos». Pero no le avisó a su padre que salía.
1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
2 Saúl y sus seiscientos hombres estaban acampados en las afueras de Guibeá debajo de un granado que hay en Migrón.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
3 Entre sus hombres estaba Abías el sacerdote, hijo de Ajitob, hermano de Icabod; Ajitob era hijo de Finés y bisnieto de Elí, sacerdote del Señor en Siló, que portaba el efod. Nadie se dio cuenta de que Jonatán había salido.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
4 Para llegar a la guarnición filistea, Jonatán tuvo que ir por un estrecho paso que estaba entre dos riscos conocidos como Bosés y Sene.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
5 El risco del norte estaba frente a Micmás y el del sur frente a Guibeá.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
6 ―Vamos a donde están esos paganos —dijo Jonatán a su escudero—. Quizás el Señor haga algo por medio nuestro. Para él no hay diferencia en salvar con muchos o con pocos.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
7 ―Bien —contestó el joven—. Haz lo que creas conveniente. Cuenta conmigo en cualquier cosa que decidas hacer.
7 His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
8 ―¡Estupendo! Esto es lo que haremos —le respondió Jonatán—.
8 Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
9 Cuando ellos nos vean, si nos dicen: “¡Quietos, no se muevan!”, nos detendremos y los esperaremos.
9 If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
10 Pero si dicen: “Vengan y peleen”, eso haremos. Porque esa será la señal de Dios de que él nos ayudará a derrotarlos.
10 But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
11 Cuando los filisteos los vieron acercarse, gritaron: ―Los israelitas están saliendo de sus cuevas.
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
12 Entonces le gritaron a Jonatán y a su escudero: ―Vengan acá pues queremos decirles algo. ―Ven, sígueme —dijo Jonatán a su escudero—, porque el Señor nos ayudará a derrotarlos.
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
13 Subieron afirmándose con las manos y rodillas. Y a los filisteos que caían delante de Jonatán, el escudero los remataba.
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
14 Murieron en total veinte hombres en ese primer ataque, y sus cuerpos quedaron esparcidos en un espacio como de la mitad de un surco.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
15 Repentinamente cundió el pánico en todo el campamento filisteo, tanto los que estaban acampados como los que estaban en el campo abierto. Para colmo, hubo un gran terremoto que aumentó el terror.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
16 Los centinelas de Saúl en Guibeá vieron como la muchedumbre filistea comenzó a esparcirse de forma confusa en todas direcciones.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
17 «Averígüenme quién no está aquí» —ordenó Saúl. Al pasar lista descubrieron que Jonatán y su escudero no estaban.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
18 «Trae acá el cofre de Dios» —ordenó Saúl a Abías, porque el cofre estaba entre el pueblo de Israel en aquel tiempo.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
19 Pero mientras Saúl le hablaba al sacerdote, el griterío y el tumulto entre los filisteos se hicieron aún más grandes. «Deja, ya no lo traigas» —le dijo Saúl.
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
20 Entonces Saúl y sus seiscientos hombres salieron a la batalla y encontraron que los filisteos se estaban matando unos a otros, pues había una terrible confusión en todas partes.
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
21 Y los hebreos que se habían unido a los filisteos se rebelaron y se unieron a los israelitas capitaneados por Saúl y Jonatán.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Finalmente, los israelitas que estaban ocultos en las colinas se unieron en la persecución cuando vieron que los filisteos huían.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
23 De esta manera el Señor salvó a Israel aquel día y la batalla continuó hasta más allá de Bet Avén.
23 So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
24 Aquel día Saúl había declarado: «Caiga una maldición sobre cualquiera que coma algo antes de la tarde, antes que yo haya completado la venganza sobre mis enemigos».
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
25 Nadie comió aquel día aun cuando encontraron panales de abejas en el bosque,
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
26 porque todos tuvieron miedo de la maldición de Saúl.
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
27 Sin embargo, Jonatán, que no había oído la orden de su padre, sacó miel de un panal con un palo, y cuando terminó de comerla se sintió con más fuerzas.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
28 Entonces alguien le dijo que su padre había lanzado una maldición sobre todo aquel que comiera aquel día, y a causa de eso todos estaban cansados y débiles.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
29 «¡A quién se le ocurre! —exclamó Jonatán—. Un mandamiento de este tipo solamente nos perjudica. Me siento mejor ahora que he comido este poco de miel.
29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 Si el pueblo hubiera podido comer el alimento hallado entre nuestros enemigos, quién sabe cuanto mayor daño hubiéramos hecho a los filisteos».
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
31 Sin embargo, hambrientos como estaban, persiguieron y mataron a los filisteos desde Micmás hasta Ayalón, debilitándose cada vez más.
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
32 Y aquella tarde se lanzaron sobre los despojos de la batalla y mataron ovejas, bueyes y cabritos y comieron carne sin desangrar.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
33 Alguien le dijo a Saúl lo que estaba ocurriendo, y que el pueblo pecaba contra el Señor comiendo sangre. ―Es una ofensa contra el Señor —dijo Saúl—. Tráiganme acá una piedra grande,
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
34 y vayan a decir al pueblo que traigan bueyes y ovejas para degollarlos y derramar su sangre aquí, a fin de que no pequen contra el Señor comiendo carne sin desangrar. Y así lo hicieron al caer la noche.
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
35 Y Saúl edificó un altar al Señor, el primero que levantaba.
35 Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
36 Después dijo: ―Sigamos a los filisteos toda la noche y destruyámoslos hasta que no quede ninguno. ―Haz lo que creas más conveniente —contestaron sus hombres. Pero el sacerdote dijo: ―Preguntémosle primero al Señor.
36 Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
37 Saúl consultó a Dios: ―¿Iremos tras los filisteos? ¿Nos ayudarás a derrotarlos? Pero esta vez el Señor no respondió.
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
38 Entonces Saúl les dijo a sus generales: ―Algo anda mal. Debemos descubrir qué pecado se ha cometido hoy.
38 Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
39 Juro por el nombre del Señor que salvó a Israel, que aunque el pecador sea mi hijo Jonatán, morirá. Nadie de la tropa le contestó.
39 For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
40 ―Jonatán y yo nos situaremos de un lado —dijo Saúl— y ustedes al otro lado. El pueblo aceptó,
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
41 y Saúl añadió: ―Oh Señor Dios de Israel, ¿por qué no has respondido a mis preguntas? ¿Somos Jonatán y yo los culpables, o el pecado está en los demás? Oh Señor Dios, muéstranos quién es el culpable. Y fueron señalados Jonatán y Saúl como culpables, y el pueblo fue declarado inocente.
41 Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
42 Saúl dijo: ―Ahora echemos suertes entre Jonatán y yo. Jonatán fue señalado culpable.
42 Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
43 ―Dime, ¿qué has hecho? —preguntó Saúl a Jonatán. ―Comí miel —reconoció Jonatán—. Pero fue sólo un poco que saqué con la punta de un palo. ¿Debo morir?
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
44 ―Sí, Jonatán —dijo Saúl—, deberás morir. Que Dios me mate si no eres ejecutado por esto.
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
45 Pero los soldados se opusieron: ―¿Jonatán, que salvó hoy a Israel, morirá? ¡De ninguna manera! Juramos por el Señor que ni un cabello de su cabeza será tocado, porque él ha obrado al lado de Dios hoy día. Así el pueblo salvó a Jonatán de la muerte.
45 The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
46 Luego Saúl no fue en persecución de los filisteos y estos regresaron a su tierra.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
47 Y como estaba firmemente establecido como rey de Israel, peleó contra todos los pueblos de su entorno: contra Moab, Amón, Edom, los reyes de Sobá y los filisteos. Adondequiera que iba, triunfaba.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
48 Hizo grandes cosas. Venció a los amalecitas, y salvó a Israel de todos los que habían sido sus opresores.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
49 Saúl tuvo tres hijos, Jonatán, Isví y Malquisúa; y dos hijas, Merab, la mayor, y Mical.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
50 La esposa de Saúl se llamaba Ajinoán, hija de Ajimaz. El jefe de su ejército era su primo Abner, hijo de Ner, tío de Saúl. Ner y Quis, el padre de Saúl, eran hermanos. Ambos eran hijos de Abiel.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
51 Not in this translation
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
52 Los israelitas pelearon constantemente con los filisteos durante la vida de Saúl. Y cada vez que Saúl encontraba a un joven valiente y fuerte lo unía a su ejército.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
