1 Reyes 14

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En aquel tiempo, cayó enfermo Abías, hijo de Jeroboam.	1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 Entonces este dijo a su esposa: «Disfrázate para que nadie sepa que eres la mujer de Jeroboam, y ve a Silo. Allí habita Ajías, el profeta que predijo que yo reinaría sobre este pueblo.	2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.
3 Toma contigo diez panes, unas tortas y un tarro de miel, y ve a su casa: él te va a anunciar que le sucederá a nuestro hijo».	3 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
4 Así lo hizo la mujer de Jeroboam: partió hacia Silo y entró en la casa de Ajías. Este ya no podía ver, porque había perdido la vista a causa de su vejez.	4 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
5 Pero el Señor le había dicho: «Mira que la mujer de Jeroboam viene a consultarte acerca de su hijo, porque está enfermo. Tú le dirás esto y esto. Cuando ella entre, se hará pasar por otra».	5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
6 Apenas oyó el ruido de los pasos de la mujer, mientras ella entraba por la puerta, Ajías dijo: «Entra, mujer de Jeroboam. ¿Por qué te haces pasar por otra? Yo he sido enviado para hablarte duramente.	6 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.
7 Ve y dile a Jeroboam: Así habla el Señor, el Dios de Israel: Yo te elevé de en medio del pueblo y le constituí jefe de mi pueblo Israel.	7 Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,
8 Arranqué la realeza a la casa de David para dártela a ti. Pero tú no has sido como mi servidor David, que observó mis mandamientos y me siguió de todo corazón, haciendo únicamente lo que es recto a mis ojos.	8 and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
9 Tú, en cambio, has obrado peor que todos tus predecesores; has ido a fabricarte otros dioses, ídolos de metal fundido, para provocar mi indignación, y me has arrojado a tus espaldas.	9 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
10 Por eso, yo voy a atraer la desgracia sobre la casa de Jeroboam: extirparé a la familia de Jeroboam todos los varones, esclavos o libres en Israel, y barreré hasta los últimos restos de su casa, como se barre el estiércol, bien a fondo.	10 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
11 Al de la familia de Jeroboam que muera en la ciudad, lo comerán los perros, y al que muera en descampado, lo comerán las aves del cielo, porque ha hablado el Señor.	11 Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
12 En cuanto a ti, vete ahora mismo a tu casa: apenas pongas tus pies en la ciudad, el niño morirá.	12 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
13 Todo Israel se lamentará por él, y le darán sepultura: él es el único en la familia de Jeroboam que entrará en una tumba, porque sólo en él se ha encontrado algo bueno para el Señor, el Dios de Israel, en la casa de Jeroboam.	13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 El Señor suscitará para Israel un rey que habrá de extirpar la casa de Jeroboam.	14 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
15 El Señor golpeará a Israel, y este se agitará como el junco en las aguas. Arrancará a Israel de este hermoso suelo que dio a sus padres, y los dispersará al otro lado del Río, porque erigieron sus postes sagrados, provocando así la indignación del Señor.	15 And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
16 El entregará a Israel por los pecados que cometió Jeroboam y por los que hizo cometer a Israel».	16 And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
17 La mujer de Jeroboam partió y se fue a Tirsá. Y cuando franqueaba el umbral de su casa, murió el niño.	17 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 Lo sepultaron, y todo Israel se lamentó por él, conforme a la palabra que había dicho el Señor, por medio de su servidor, el profeta Ajías.	18 And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.
19 El resto de los hechos de Jeroboam, sus batallas y su reinado, todo eso está escrito en el libro de los Anales de los reyes de Israel.	19 Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 Jeroboam reinó durante veintidós años, y se fue a descansar con sus padres. Su hijo Nadab reinó en lugar de él	20 And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.
21 Roboam, hijo de Salomón, reinó en Judá, Tenía cuarenta y un años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó diecisiete años en Jerusalén, la ciudad que había elegido el Señor entre todas las tribus de Israel para poner allí su Nombre. Su madre se llamaba Naamá, la amonita.	21 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose, out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
22 Judá hizo lo que es malo a los ojos del Señor, provocando sus celos más que todos sus antepasados, con los pecados que cometieron.	22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
23 También ellos se erigieron lugares altos, piedras conmemorativas y postes sagrados, en cualquier colina elevada y bajo todo árbol frondoso.	23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 Incluso se llegó a tener en el país hombres dedicados a la prostitución sagrada. Así imitaron todas las costumbres abominables de las naciones que el Señor había desposeído delante de los israelitas.	24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
25 El quinto año del reinado de Roboam, subió contra Jerusalén Sisac, rey de Egipto,	25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 y se apoderó de los tesoros de la Casa del Señor y de la casa del rey. Se apoderó de todo, incluso de los escudos de oro que había hecho Salomón.	26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 En lugar de ellos, el rey Roboam hizo unos escudos de bronce, y se los confió a los jefes de los guardias que custodiaban el acceso a la casa del rey.	27 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 Cada vez que el rey iba a la Casa del Señor, los guardias los llevaban, y luego los volvían a dejar en la sala de guardia.	28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
29 El resto de los hechos de Roboam y todo lo que él hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de los Anales de los reyes de Judá?	29 Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.
30 Entre Roboam y Jeroboam tuvo guerras continuas.	30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Roboam se fue a descansar con sus padres, y fue sepultado con ellos en la Ciudad de David. Su madre se llamaba Naamá, la amonita. Su hijo Abiam reinó en lugar de él.	31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
