1 Eliseo le había dicho a la mujer a cuyo hijo él había resucitado: «Vete con tu familia a donde puedas, porque el Señor enviará un gran hambre sobre Israel, que durará siete años».
1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”
2 La mujer llevó a su familia a vivir a la tierra de los filisteos durante siete años.
2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Cuando la hambruna acabó, regresó a Israel y fue a ver al rey, y le rogó que le devolviera su casa y su tierra.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
4 Cuando ella entró, el rey estaba conversando con Guiezi, el criado de Eliseo, y le decía: «Cuéntame de las grandes hazañas que Eliseo ha hecho».
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Y Guiezi le estaba hablando al rey acerca de la oportunidad en que Eliseo había resucitado al niño. En ese mismo momento entró la madre del niño. ―¡Señor, esta es la mujer, y este es su hijo! ¡Este es el niño que Eliseo resucitó! —exclamó Guiezi.
5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 ―¿De veras? —le preguntó el rey a ella. Ella le dijo que sí, y él dio órdenes a un oficial de su confianza para que se preocupara de que todo lo que le pertenecía a ella le fuera devuelto, además del valor de la cosecha que hubiera habido durante su ausencia.
6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
7 Eliseo se había ido a Damasco (capital de Siria). En esos días el rey Ben Adad estaba enfermo, y alguien le dijo al rey que el profeta había llegado.
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8 «Lleva un presente al varón de Dios y pídele que le pregunte al Señor si sanaré o no» —le ordenó a Jazael. Jazael llevó cuarenta camellos cargados de los mejores productos de la tierra, como presente para Eliseo, y le dijo: ―Ben Adad, el rey de Siria y servidor tuyo, me ha enviado a preguntarte si sanará.
8 The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
9 Not in this translation
9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
10 Eliseo le respondió: ―Le dirás que sí se sanará. Pero el Señor me ha mostrado que de todas maneras va a morir.
10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”
11 Eliseo se quedó mirando a Jazael, y lo hizo sentir incómodo. Luego Eliseo rompió a llorar.
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
12 ―¿Qué le pasa a mi señor? —le preguntó Jazael. Eliseo le respondió: ―Yo sé las cosas terribles que le harás al pueblo de Israel. Quemarás sus ciudades fortificadas, matarás a los jóvenes, estrellarás a los niños contra las rocas, y abrirás el vientre a las mujeres embarazadas.
12 Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
13 ―¿Soy yo un perro, acaso? —preguntó Jazael—. ¡Jamás haré algo semejante! Pero Eliseo le respondió: ―El Señor me ha mostrado que vas a ser rey de Siria.
13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
14 Cuando Jazael regresó, el rey le preguntó: ―¿Qué te dijo el profeta? Y Jazael respondió: ―Me dijo que usted va a sanar de su enfermedad.
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15 Pero al día siguiente, Jazael tomó una manta, la mojó en agua y cubrió con ella el rostro del rey, hasta que este murió asfixiado. Luego, Jazael tomó posesión del trono.
15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
16 Jorán hijo de Josafat, de Judá, comenzó a reinar cuando Jorán hijo de Acab llevaba cinco años reinando en Israel.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Jorán tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó durante ocho años en Jerusalén.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Pero fue tan perverso como Acab y los demás reyes de Israel, y hasta se casó con una de las hijas de Acab.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
19 Sin embargo, como Dios había prometido a su siervo David que cuidaría y guiaría a sus descendientes, no destruyó a Judá.
19 However, Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20 Durante el reinado de Jorán, el pueblo de Edom se rebeló contra Judá y designó a su propio rey.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 El rey Jorán trató de aplastar la rebelión, pero no tuvo éxito. Cruzó el río Jordán y atacó la ciudad de Zaír, pero fue rápidamente rodeado por los edomitas. Protegido por la oscuridad de la noche, logró cruzar las filas enemigas, pero su ejército se dispersó.
21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 De esta manera Edom logró su independencia, la cual ha conservado hasta hoy. La ciudad de Libná también se rebeló en aquel tiempo.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 El resto de la historia del rey Jorán está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Judá.
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Cuando murió lo sepultaron en el cementerio real de la ciudad de David, la sección antigua de Jerusalén. Y su hijo Ocozías reinó en su lugar.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
25 Cuando Ocozías hijo de Jorán comenzó a reinar en Judá, Jorán hijo de Acab llevaba doce años reinando en Israel.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
26 Ocozías tenía veintidós años cuando comenzó a reinar, pero reinó solamente un año en Jerusalén. Su madre fue Atalía, nieta de Omrí, rey de Israel.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Fue un hombre perverso, y al igual que todos los descendientes del rey Acab, con quien había emparentado, hizo lo que desagrada al Señor.
27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
28 En unión con el rey Jorán hijo de Acab, rey de Israel, peleó contra Jazael, el rey de Siria, en Ramot de Galaad. El rey Jorán fue herido en la batalla,
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 y fue a Jezrel a descansar y a recuperarse de sus heridas. Mientras estaba allí, fue a visitarlo el rey Ocozías hijo de Jorán, rey de Judá.
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
