¹ And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,	¹ Alejandro el macedonio, hijo de Filipo, que ocupaba el trono de Grecia, salió de Macedonia, derrotó y suplantó a Darío, rey de Persia y Media,
² And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,	² entabló numerosos combates, ocupó fortalezas, asesinó a reyes,
³ And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.	³ llegó hasta el confín del mundo, saqueó innumerables naciones. Cuando la tierra enmudeció ante él, su corazón se llenó de soberbia y de orgullo;
⁴ And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.	⁴ reunió un ejército potentísimo y dominó países, pueblos y soberanos, que le pagaron tributo.
⁵ And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.	⁵ Pero después cayó en cama y, cuando vio cercana la muerte,
⁶ Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.	⁶ llamó a los generales más ilustres, educados con él desde la juventud, y les repartió el reino antes de morir.
⁷ So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.	⁷ A los doce años de reinado, Alejandro murió,
⁸ And his servants bare rule every one in his place.	⁸ y sus generales se hicieron cargo del gobierno, cada cual en su territorio;
⁹ And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.	⁹ al morir Alejandro todos ciñeron la corona real; y después, durante muchos años, lo hicieron sus hijos, que multiplicaron las desgracias del mundo.
¹⁰ And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.	¹⁰ De ellos brotó un vástago perverso, Antíoco Epífanes, hijo del rey Antíoco. Había estado en Roma como rehén y subió al trono el año ciento treinta y siete de la era seléucida.
¹¹ In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow.	¹¹ Por entonces surgieron en Israel hijos apóstatas que convencieron a muchos: «Vayamos y pactemos con las naciones vecinas, pues desde que nos hemos aislado de ellas nos han venido muchas desgracias».
¹² So this device pleased them well.	¹² Les gustó la propuesta
¹³ Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:	¹³ y algunos del pueblo decidieron acudir al rey. El rey les autorizó a adoptar la legislación pagana; y entonces, acomodándose a las costumbres de los gentiles,
¹⁴ Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:	¹⁴ construyeron en Jerusalén un gimnasio,
¹⁵ And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.	¹⁵ disimularon la circuncisión, apostataron de la alianza santa, se asociaron a los gentiles y se vendieron para hacer el mal.
¹⁶ Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.	¹⁶ Cuando ya se sintió seguro en el trono, Antíoco se propuso reinar también sobre Egipto, para ser así rey de dos reinos.
¹⁷ Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy,	¹⁷ Invadió Egipto con un poderoso ejército, con carros, elefantes, caballos y una gran flota.
¹⁸ And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.	¹⁸ Atacó a Tolomeo, rey de Egipto. Tolomeo retrocedió y huyó, sufriendo muchas bajas.
¹⁹ Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.	¹⁹ Entonces Antíoco ocupó las plazas fuertes de Egipto y saqueó el país.
²⁰ And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,	²⁰ Cuando volvía de conquistar Egipto, el año ciento cuarenta y tres, subió contra Israel y contra Jerusalén con un poderoso ejército.
²¹ And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,	²¹ Entró con arrogancia en el santuario, robó el altar de oro, el candelabro y todos sus accesorios,
²² And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.	²² la mesa de los panes presentados, las copas para la libación, las fuentes y los incensarios de oro, la cortina y las coronas. Y arrancó todo el decorado de oro de la fachada del templo;
²³ He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.	²³ se incautó también de la plata y el oro, la vajilla de valor y los tesoros escondidos que encontró,
²⁴ And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.	²⁴ y se lo llevó todo a su tierra, después de verter muchas sangre y de proferir fanfarronadas increíbles.
²⁵ Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were;	²⁵ Un lamento por Israel se oyó en todo el país.
²⁶ So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.	²⁶ Gimieron los príncipes y los ancianos, \| desfallecieron doncellas y jóvenes, \| se marchitó la belleza de las mujeres.
²⁷ Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness,	²⁷ Entonó el esposo una elegía, \| la esposa hizo duelo sentada en la alcoba.
²⁸ The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.	²⁸ La tierra tembló por sus habitantes, \| y toda la casa de Jacob se cubrió de vergüenza.
²⁹ And after two years fully expired the king sent his chief collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Jerusalem with a great multitude,	²⁹ Dos años después el rey envió un recaudador fiscal que se presentó en Jerusalén con un poderoso ejército.
³⁰ And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.	³⁰ Hablaba pérfidamente en son de paz. La gente se fio de él. Entonces cayó de improviso sobre la ciudad, le asestó un duro golpe y mató a muchos israelitas.
³¹ And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.	³¹ Saqueó la ciudad, la incendió y arrasó sus casas y la muralla que la rodeaba.
³² But the women and children took they captive, and possessed the cattle.	³² Se llevaron cautivos a las mujeres y los niños y se apoderaron del ganado.
³³ Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.	³³ Después reconstruyeron la Ciudad de David, rodeándola de una muralla alta y maciza, con sólidas torres, y se convirtió en su acrópolis.
³⁴ And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.	³⁴ Instalaron allí a gentes perversas, judíos renegados que se hicieron fuertes en ella.
³⁵ They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:	³⁵ Se aprovisionaron de armas y víveres, y depositaron en ella el botín que habían recogido en Jerusalén. Se convirtieron en un enclave peligroso.
³⁶ For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.	³⁶ Se convirtió en una insidia contra el santuario, \| en una continua amenaza para Israel.
³⁷ Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:	³⁷ Derramaron sangre inocente en torno al santuario, \| y profanaron el santuario.
³⁸ Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her.	³⁸ Los habitantes de Jerusalén huyeron por su causa, \| la ciudad se convirtió en morada de extranjeros. \| Se hizo extraña para sus nativos \| y sus propios hijos la abandonaron.
³⁹ Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.	³⁹ Su santuario quedó desolado como un desierto, \| sus fiestas convertidas en duelo, \| sus sábados en irrisión, \| su honor en desprecio.
⁴⁰ As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and her excellency was turned into mourning.	⁴⁰ Su deshonra igualó a su fama, \| su grandeza se mudó en duelo.
⁴¹ Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,	⁴¹ El rey decretó la unidad nacional para todos los súbditos de su reino,
⁴² And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.	⁴² obligando a cada uno a abandonar la legislación propia. Todas las naciones acataron la orden del rey
⁴³ Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.	⁴³ e incluso muchos israelitas adoptaron la religión oficial: ofrecieron sacrificios a los ídolos y profanaron el sábado.
⁴⁴ For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,	⁴⁴ El rey despachó correos a Jerusalén y a las ciudades de Judá, con órdenes escritas: tenían que adoptar la legislación extranjera,
⁴⁵ And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:	⁴⁵ se prohibía ofrecer en el santuario holocaustos, sacrificios y libaciones, y guardar los sábados y las fiestas;
⁴⁶ And pollute the sanctuary and holy people:	⁴⁶ se mandaba contaminar el santuario y a los fieles,
⁴⁷ Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts:	⁴⁷ construyendo aras, templos y capillas idolátricas, sacrificando cerdos y animales inmundos;
⁴⁸ That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:	⁴⁸ tenían que dejar sin circuncidar a los niños y profanarse a sí mismos con toda clase de impurezas y abominaciones,
⁴⁹ To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.	⁴⁹ de manera que olvidaran la ley y cambiaran todas las costumbres.
⁵⁰ And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.	⁵⁰ El que no cumpliese la orden del rey sería condenado a muerte.
⁵¹ In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.	⁵¹ En estos términos escribió el rey a todos sus súbditos. Nombró inspectores para todo el pueblo, y mandó que en todas las ciudades de Judá, una tras otra, se ofreciesen sacrificios.
⁵² Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;	⁵² Se les unió mucha gente del pueblo, todos ellos traidores a la ley, y cometieron tales tropelías en el país
⁵³ And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.	⁵³ que los israelitas tuvieron que esconderse en cualquier refugio disponible.
⁵⁴ Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;	⁵⁴ El día quince de casleu del año ciento cuarenta y cinco, el rey Antíoco mandó poner sobre el altar de los holocaustos la abominación de la desolación; y fueron poniendo aras por todas las poblaciones judías del contorno.
⁵⁵ And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.	⁵⁵ Quemaban incienso ante las puertas de las casas y en las plazas.
⁵⁶ And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.	⁵⁶ Rasgaban y echaban al fuego los libros de la ley que encontraban;
⁵⁷ And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king's commandment was, that they should put him to death.	⁵⁷ al que le descubrían en casa un libro de la Alianza, y a quien vivía de acuerdo con la ley, lo ajusticiaban según el decreto real.
⁵⁸ Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.	⁵⁸ Como tenían el poder, todos los meses hacían lo mismo a los israelitas que se encontraban en las ciudades.
⁵⁹ Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.	⁵⁹ El veinticinco de cada mes sacrificaban sobre el ara pagana que se hallaba encima del altar de los holocaustos.
⁶⁰ At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.	⁶⁰ A las madres que circuncidaban a sus hijos, las mataban como ordenaba el edicto
⁶¹ And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.	⁶¹ con las criaturas colgadas al cuello; y mataban también a sus familiares y a los que habían circuncidado a los niños.
⁶² Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.	⁶² Pero hubo muchos israelitas que resistieron, haciendo el firme propósito de no comer alimentos impuros.
⁶³ Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.	⁶³ Prefirieron la muerte antes que contaminarse con aquellos alimentos y profanar la Alianza santa. Y murieron.
⁶⁴ And there was very great wrath upon Israel.	⁶⁴ Una cólera terrible se abatió sobre Israel.
