1 Amasías tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó durante veintinueve años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre era Joadán, nacida en Jerusalén.
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 Amasías hizo lo que era recto a los ojos del Señor, aunque a veces se dejaba llevar por el mal.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Cuando se sintió seguro en el trono, ejecutó a los hombres que habían asesinado a su padre.
3 Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
4 Sin embargo, no dio muerte a los hijos de ellos, obedeciendo así el mandato del Señor escrito en la ley de Moisés, que dice: «Los padres no deben morir por los pecados de los hijos, ni los hijos por los pecados de sus padres, sino que deben pagar por sus propios pecados».
4 But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
5 Otra cosa que Amasías hizo fue reunir a Judá y organizar al pueblo para la guerra poniéndoles jefes de miles y cientos por todo Judá y de Benjamín. Luego hizo un censo, y resultó que contaba con trescientos mil hombres de más de veinte años, todos preparados y muy diestros en el uso de la lanza y la espada. Empleó, además, tres mil trescientos kilos de plata para contratar a cien mil guerreros valientes de Israel.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
6 Not in this translation
6 He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
7 Pero un profeta vino con este mensaje de parte del Señor: ―Su Majestad, no contrate soldados de Israel, porque el Señor no está con ellos.
7 A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 Si permite que ellos vayan a la guerra con sus hombres, será derrotado, sin importar cuán valientes sean ni por bien que peleen ellos; porque el Señor tiene poder para ayudar y para derrotar.
8 But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
9 ―Pero ¿y el dinero? exclamó Amasías—. ¿Qué pasará con él? ―El Señor tiene poder para darle mucho más dinero —le respondió el profeta.
9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.”
10 Amasías, entonces, despidió a los soldados israelitas que habían venido de Efraín, para que regresaran a su tierra. Estos se sintieron ofendidos, y regresaron muy enojados a sus casas.
10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
11 Y Amasías se armó de valor y llevó su pueblo al valle de la Sal, y allí dio muerte a diez mil hombres de Seír.
11 Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
12 Otros diez mil fueron llevados vivos a la cumbre de un peñasco, y desde allí los lanzaron al vacío. Todos murieron al darse contra las rocas.
12 The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
13 Mientras tanto, las tropas de Israel que habían sido despedidas por Amasías hicieron incursiones contra diversas ciudades de Judá, desde Samaria hasta Bet Jorón, mataron a tres mil personas y se llevaron un enorme botín.
13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
14 Cuando el rey Amasías regresó de derrotar a los edomitas, trajo consigo ídolos de los pueblos de Seír, y los aceptó como dioses, de modo que los adoró y les ofreció incienso.
14 Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burned incense to them.
15 Esto hizo que el Señor se enojara mucho con Amasías, y le envió un profeta con este mensaje: ―¿Por qué has adorado a dioses que ni aun pueden salvar a sus pueblos de tu mano?
15 Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
16 ―¿Desde cuándo he pedido tu consejo? —lo interrumpió el rey—. ¡Cállate, si no quieres que te haga matar! El profeta se fue, pero antes le dijo lo siguiente: ―Sé que el Señor ha decidido destruirte, porque has adorado a esos ídolos y no has aceptado mi consejo.
16 As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
17 El rey Amasías, de Judá, siguiendo la recomendación de sus consejeros, le declaró la guerra a Joás hijo de Joacaz, y nieto de Jehú, rey de Israel.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
18 El rey Joás le contestó con esta parábola: «En las montañas del Líbano, el cardo le dijo al cedro: “Dame a tu hija para que se case con mi hijo”. Entonces pasó un animal salvaje, pisó el cardo y lo aplastó.
18 Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
19 Estás muy orgulloso de haber vencido a Edom pero mi consejo es que te quedes en casa y no te metas conmigo, pues de lo contrario, les va a ir muy mal a ti y a Judá».
19 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
20 Pero Amasías no hizo caso, porque el Señor tenía dispuesto que fuera destruido por haber adorado a los dioses de Edom.
20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
21 Subió Joás, rey de Israel, y se enfrentó con Amasías en Bet Semes, en Judá.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
22 Allí Judá fue derrotado y huyó.
22 Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
23 El rey Joás, de Israel, capturó en Bet Semes, al rey Amasías, de Judá, y lo llevó prisionero a Jerusalén. Entonces ordenó que fueran destruidos ciento ochenta metros de los muros de Jerusalén, desde la puerta de Efraín hasta la puerta del Ángulo.
23 Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 Se llevó todos los tesoros y vasijas de oro del templo que estaban al cuidado de Obed Edom. Igualmente, se llevó todos los tesoros del palacio real, y muchos prisioneros. Luego regresó a Samaria.
24 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 Sin embargo, el rey Amasías, de Judá, vivió quince años después de la muerte del rey Joás hijo de Joacaz, de Israel.
25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
26 La biografía completa del rey Amasías está escrita en el libro de los reyes de Judá e Israel.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Después de que Amasías se apartó del Señor, el pueblo conspiró en su contra, en Jerusalén, y el rey tuvo que huir a Laquis, hasta donde lo siguieron y lo mataron.
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
28 Lo transportaron a lomo de caballo hasta Jerusalén, y allí lo sepultaron en el cementerio real.
28 They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
