1 Un día avisaron a David que los filisteos estaban atacando a Queilá y saqueando los campos:
1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
2 David consultó al Señor: ―¿Iré y los atacaré? ―Sí, ve y salva Queilá —le dijo el Señor.
2 Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” Yahweh said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3 Mas los hombres de David le dijeron: ―Nosotros tenemos miedo aun aquí en Judá. Ciertamente no queremos ir a Queilá a pelear contra las filas filisteas.
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
4 David le preguntó nuevamente al Señor, y el Señor nuevamente le respondió: ―Vete a Queilá, porque yo te ayudaré a conquistar a los filisteos.
4 Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. Yahweh answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
5 Fueron a Queilá y destrozaron a los filisteos, y les quitaron el ganado. El pueblo de Queilá fue salvado.
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Abiatar el sacerdote fue a Queilá con David, y llevó el efod consigo, a fin de consultar al Señor por David.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
7 Saúl pronto supo que David estaba en Queilá. «Bien —exclamó—. Ahora lo tenemos. Dios lo ha entregado en mis manos, pues se ha atrapado a sí mismo en una ciudad amurallada».
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
8 Saúl movilizó todo su ejército y lo puso en marcha hacia Queilá para sitiar a David y a sus hombres.
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 Pero David se enteró del plan de Saúl y le dijo a Abiatar el sacerdote que trajera el efod para consultar al Señor.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
10 ―Oh Señor Dios de Israel —dijo David—, he sabido que Saúl tiene planes de venir y destruir Queilá porque yo estoy aquí.
10 Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
11 ¿Me entregarán a él los hombres de Queilá? ¿Vendrá Saúl realmente como he oído? Oh Señor Dios de Israel, te ruego que me lo digas. Y el Señor le dijo: ―Vendrá.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
12 ―¿Y me traicionarán estos hombres de Queilá entregándome a Saúl? —insistió David. Y el Señor le respondió: ―Sí; te traicionarán.
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.”
13 Entonces David y sus hombres, que eran seiscientos ahora, salieron de Queilá y comenzaron a andar de un lado a otro por el campo. Pronto Saúl se enteró de que David había huido, y desistió de ir a Queilá.
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
14 David se fue a vivir en las cuevas del desierto en la región montañosa de Zif. Un día, cerca de Hores, supo que Saúl iba hacia Zif en su busca. Saúl lo perseguía día tras día para matarlo, pero el Señor no permitió que lo encontrara.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
15 Not in this translation
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
16 El príncipe Jonatán salió en busca de David y lo halló en Hores, y lo alentó en su fe en Dios.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
17 «No tengas miedo —le dijo Jonatán—. Mi padre jamás te encontrará, tú serás el rey de Israel y yo estaré junto a ti, y seré tu segundo como mi padre bien lo sabe».
17 He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
18 Entonces los dos hombres renovaron su pacto de amistad. David se quedó en Hores, y Jonatán regresó a su casa.
18 They both made a covenant before Yahweh. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
19 Pero luego los hombres de Zif fueron a Saúl, que se hallaba en Guibeá, y delataron a David. ―Sabemos dónde está escondido —le dijeron—. Está en las cuevas de Hores, en la colina de Jaquilá, al sur del desierto.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
20 Desciende, señor, y nosotros le daremos caza.
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
21 ―Alabado sea el Señor —dijo Saúl—. ¡Por fin alguien ha tenido compasión de mí!
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh, for you have had compassion on me.
22 Vayan nuevamente y asegúrense de que está allí y quién lo ha visto, porque yo sé que él es muy astuto.
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
23 Descubran en cuál de sus escondites se halla, y vuelvan con una información precisa. Entonces yo iré con ustedes. Y si él está en aquella zona lo encontraré, aun cuando tenga que registrar cada rincón de Judá.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
24 Ellos, pues, adelantándose a Saúl, se dirigieron a Zif. David y sus hombres se hallaban en el desierto de Maón en el Arabá, al sur del desierto:
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
25 Saúl fue en su busca. David se enteró y descendió a un risco que se halla en el desierto de Maón.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
26 Saúl y David estaban ahora en laderas opuestas de una montaña. Saúl y sus hombres comenzaron a rodearlos. David hizo todo lo posible por escapar, pero, al parecer, estaba perdido.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
27 En esto le llegó a Saúl un mensaje en el que se le informaba que los filisteos estaban atacando nuevamente a Israel,
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
28 y Saúl tuvo que abandonar la persecución, y regresar a pelear contra los filisteos. Desde entonces el lugar donde David estuvo acampado ha sido llamado Sela Hamajlecot (Roca de las Separaciones).
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 Luego David se fue a vivir en las cuevas de Engadi.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
