WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Durante el reinado de David hubo hambre por tres años consecutivos. Entonces David habló con el Señor acerca de esta situación, y el Señor le dijo: «El hambre ha venido por causa de que Saúl y su familia asesinaron a los gabaonitas».
1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
2 El rey David convocó a los gabaonitas. Ellos no formaban parte de Israel, sino que eran el remanente de la nación de los amorreos. Israel había prometido no matarlos; pero Saúl, debido a su celo por Judá e Israel, había tratado de acabar con ellos.
2 The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
3 David les preguntó: ―¿Qué puedo hacer por ustedes, para librarnos de esta culpa y para pedirles a ustedes que clamen a Dios que nos bendiga?
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless Yahweh’s inheritance?”
4 ―Bueno, no es cuestión de dinero —respondieron los gabaonitas—, y no es nuestra intención vengarnos matando israelitas. ―¿Qué puedo hacer por ustedes entonces? —preguntó otra vez David—. Díganmelo, y yo lo haré.
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
5 ―Muy bien —respondieron—, entréguenos a siete de los hijos de Saúl, el hombre que se empeñó en destruirnos. Los colgaremos delante del Señor, en Guibeá, la ciudad del rey Saúl. ―Muy bien —dijo el rey—, se los entregaré.
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 Not in this translation
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”
7 David perdonó a Mefiboset, el hijo de Jonatán y nieto de Saúl, a causa de la promesa que le había hecho a Jonatán;
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 pero hizo apresar a Armoní y a Mefiboset, que eran hijos de Saúl y Rizpa, la hija de Ayá. Además hizo apresar a los cinco hijos que Merab, la hija de Saúl, había tenido con Adriel hijo de Barzilay, el de Mejolá.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Luego, David se los entregó a los gabaonitas, quienes los ahorcaron en una montaña, delante del Señor. Los siete murieron juntos, al comienzo de la cosecha de cebada.
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Rizpa, la madre de dos de los hombres, extendió un saco sobre una roca y se quedó allí durante toda la estación de la cosecha, para evitar que las aves de rapiña destrozaran los cuerpos durante el día, y que los animales salvajes se los comieran en la noche.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
11 Cuando David supo lo que Rizpa, la concubina de Saúl, había hecho,
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 ordenó que los restos de los hombres fueran llevados a Jerusalén. Al mismo tiempo pidió a los de Jabés de Galaad que devolvieran los restos de Saúl y Jonatán. Ellos los habían rescatado de la plaza pública en Betsán, donde los filisteos los habían colgado, después de la batalla del monte Guilboa. Cuando los de Jabés devolvieron los restos de Saúl y Jonatán, David los hizo sepultar en la tumba de Quis, el padre de Saúl, en la región de Zela de Benjamín. Después de esto, Dios tuvo compasión del pueblo y lo bendijo.
12 So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
13 Not in this translation
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 Not in this translation
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
15 En una ocasión en que los filisteos volvieron a hacerle la guerra a Israel, David y sus hombres salieron a pelear contra ellos. Debido a lo duro de la batalla, David se sintió muy cansado.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
16 Entonces, un gigante llamado Isbibenob intentó matarlo. Este hombre llevaba una espada nueva y una lanza de bronce, cuya sola punta pesaba más de tres kilos.
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
17 Pero Abisay hijo de Sarvia corrió en su ayuda y mató al filisteo. Después de aquello, los hombres de David le juraron: «¡Nunca más saldrá con nosotros cuando haya guerra! ¿Por qué habremos de arriesgarnos a que se apague la luz de Israel?».
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
18 Durante una guerra con los filisteos en Gob, Sibecay el jusatita mató a Saf, otro gigante.
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 En otra oportunidad, y en el mismo lugar, Eljanán hijo de Yaré Oreguín, de Belén, mató al hermano de Goliat el guitita, que tenía una lanza cuya asta era tan grande como el rodillo de un telar.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Y en una ocasión en que los filisteos y los israelitas trabaron combate en Gat, un gigante que tenía seis dedos en cada mano y seis en cada pie desafió a Israel. Entonces Jonatán, sobrino de David e hijo de Simá, que era hermano de David, lo mató.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 Not in this translation
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
22 Fue así como esos cuatro gigantes, descendientes de Rafá, el de Gat, fueron muertos por los soldados de David.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
