1 Abías ocupó el trono de Judá, en Jerusalén, en el año dieciocho del reinado de Jeroboán, rey de Israel.
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
2 Su reinado duró tres años. El nombre de su madre era Micaías, hija de Uriel, de Guibeá. En los comienzos de su reinado, estalló una guerra entre Judá e Israel.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
3 Judá, dirigido por el rey Abías, reunió un ejército de cuatrocientos mil guerreros para ir a la guerra, mientras que Jeroboán, rey de Israel, salió con ochocientos mil soldados.
3 Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor.
4 Cuando el rey Abías llegó al monte Zemarayin, en los cerros de Efraín, gritó: «¡Rey Jeroboán! ¡Soldados israelitas! ¡Escuchen lo que tengo que decirles!
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
5 ¿Acaso no saben que el Señor, Dios de Israel, decidió que solamente serían reyes de Israel los descendientes de David, y que esa promesa la confirmó por medio de un pacto que no se puede alterar?
5 Ought you not to know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
6 Jeroboán, rey de ustedes, no es más que un sirviente del hijo de David, y un traidor a la causa de su soberano.
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
7 Pero se le unió una cuadrilla de bandidos, y se rebelaron contra Roboán hijo de Salomón, por cuanto era joven y cobarde, y no pudo oponerles resistencia.
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
8 »¿Creen ustedes realmente que pueden derrotar al reino del Señor, cuyo servidor es descendiente de David? ¡Ustedes son muchos más que nosotros, pero tienen los becerros de oro que Jeroboán les hizo, para que los adoren como a dioses!
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
9 Además, han destituido a los sacerdotes del Señor y a los levitas, y han designado en su lugar a sacerdotes paganos. ¡Tal como lo hacen los habitantes de otros países, ustedes reciben como sacerdote a cualquiera que llega y ofrenda un novillo y siete carneros! ¡Cualquiera puede ser sacerdote de esos dioses falsos de ustedes!
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
10 »Pero en cuanto a nosotros, el Señor es nuestro Dios, y no lo hemos abandonado. Los sacerdotes nuestros son exclusivamente descendientes de Aarón, y sólo los levitas los ayudan en sus labores.
10 “But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
11 Queman holocaustos al Señor mañana y tarde, e incienso aromático, y colocan los panes de la Presencia sobre la mesa santa, y encienden el candelabro de oro todas las tardes. Nosotros seguimos con todo cuidado las instrucciones del Señor nuestro Dios. Ustedes, en cambio, lo han abandonado.
11 They burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God, but you have forsaken him.
12 Como pueden observar, Dios está con nosotros, es nuestro guía. Los sacerdotes del Señor, al toque de trompeta, nos guiarán a la batalla contra ustedes. ¡Pueblo de Israel, no peleen contra el Señor, Dios de nuestros padres, porque no podrán triunfar!».
12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”
13 Mientras tanto, Jeroboán, secretamente, había colocado una emboscada a Judá, pues envió soldados a dar un rodeo y colocarse detrás de los hombres de Judá, y a la otra parte le ordenó que atacara de frente. Cuando los de Judá se dieron cuenta de que estaban emboscados, clamaron al Señor pidiendo ayuda. Los sacerdotes tocaron las trompetas,
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
14 Not in this translation
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
15 y los soldados de Judá comenzaron a gritar y, a medida que gritaban, Dios, valiéndose del rey Abías y de los hombres de Judá, derrotó a Jeroboán.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
16 Not in this translation
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
17 Ese día, Judá mató a quinientos mil de los mejores guerreros de Israel.
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
18 De modo que Judá, descansando en la seguridad del Señor, Dios de sus padres, derrotó a Israel, y persiguió a las tropas del rey Jeroboán y tomó algunas de sus ciudades: Betel, Jesaná, Efraín y sus alrededores.
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
19 Not in this translation
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
20 El rey Jeroboán, de Israel, nunca se recuperó totalmente durante la vida de Abías y, a su debido tiempo, el Señor lo derribó, de modo que Jeroboán murió.
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died.
21 Abías, rey de Judá, en cambio, crecía en poder. Tuvo catorce esposas, veintidós hijos y dieciséis hijas.
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
22 Su biografía completa y sus discursos se encuentran registrados en la Historia de Judá, escrita por el profeta Idó.
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
