1 Cuando Roboam llegó a Jerusalén congregó a 180.000 guerreros escogidos de las casas de Judá y de Benjamín para luchar contra Israel y restituir su reino.
1 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Pero la Palabra de Yavé llegó a Semaías, varón de ʼElohim:
2 But Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 Habla a Roboam, hijo de Salomón, rey de Judá, y a todos los israelitas que estén en Judá y Benjamín:
3 “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Yavé dijo: No suban ni luchen contra sus hermanos. Regrese cada uno a su casa, porque Yo hice esto. Y ellos escucharon la Palabra de Yavé. Regresaron y no salieron contra Jeroboam.
4 ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Roboam vivió en Jerusalén y edificó ciudades para la defensa en Judá.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 Edificó Belén, Etam, Tecoa,
6 He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Bet-sur, Soco, Adulam,
7 Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gat, Maresa, Zif,
8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 Adoraim, Laquis, Azeca,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Zora, Ajalón y Hebrón, ciudades fortificadas que están en Judá y Benjamín.
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11 También reforzó las fortalezas. Colocó en ellas comandantes, almacenes de alimentos, aceite y vino.
11 He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
12 En cada ciudad puso escudos y lanzas. Las reforzó muchísimo. Así retuvo a Judá y Benjamín.
12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 Los sacerdotes y levitas que estaban en todo Israel se presentaron a [Roboam],
13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
14 porque los levitas abandonaron sus campos y posesiones, y fueron a Judá y a Jerusalén. (Pues Jeroboam y sus hijos los destituyeron del ministerio como sacerdotes de Yavé,
14 For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to Yahweh.
15 por cuanto él nombró sus propios sacerdotes para los lugares altos, los que actuaban como demonios y los becerros que hizo.)
15 He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
16 Aquellos de todas las tribus de Israel que dedicaron su corazón a buscar a Yavé ʼElohim de Israel, siguieron a [los sacerdotes y levitas] hasta Jerusalén para ofrecer sacrificios a Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados.
16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
17 Fortalecieron el reino de Judá y apoyaron a Roboam, hijo de Salomón, durante tres años, pues anduvieron en el camino de David y Salomón por tres años.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Roboam tomó como esposa a Mahalata, hija de Jerimot, hijo de David y de Abihaíl, hija de Eliab, hijo de Isaí.
18 Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
19 Ella le dio a luz estos hijos: Jeús, Semarías y Zaham.
19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Después de ella tomó a Maaca, hija de Absalón, la cual le dio a luz a Abías, Atai, Ziza y Selomit.
20 After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Roboam amó a Maaca, hija de Absalón, más que a todas sus esposas y concubinas. Tomó 18 esposas y 60 concubinas, y engendró 28 hijos y 60 hijas.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Roboam designó a Abías, hijo de Maaca, como jefe y príncipe entre sus hermanos, a fin de proclamarlo rey.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23 Al actuar con astucia, distribuyó a todos sus hijos por todas las tierras de Judá y Benjamín y por todas las ciudades fortificadas. Les dio alimento en abundancia y muchas mujeres.
23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
