1.Samuel 12

Nueva Versión Internacional (Castellano)



1 Samuel le habló a todo Israel: ―¡Prestadme atención! Yo os he hecho caso en todo lo que me habéis pedido, y os he dado un rey que os gobierne. 2 Ya tenéis al rey que va a dirigiros. En cuanto a mí, ya soy viejo y lleno de canas, y mis hijos son parte del pueblo. Yo os he guiado a vosotros desde mi juventud hasta la fecha. 3 Aquí me tenéis. Podéis acusarme en la presencia del SEÑOR y de su ungido. ¿A quién le he robado un buey o un asno? ¿A quién he defraudado? ¿A quién he oprimido? ¿Por quién me he dejado sobornar? Acusadme, y pagaré lo que corresponda. 4 ―No nos has defraudado —respondieron—; tampoco nos has oprimido ni le has robado nada a nadie. 5 Samuel insistió: ―¡Que el SEÑOR y su ungido sean hoy testigos de que no me habéis hallado culpable de nada! ―¡Que lo sean! —fue la respuesta del pueblo. 6 Además Samuel les dijo: ―Testigo es el SEÑOR, que escogió a Moisés y a Aarón para sacar de Egipto a vuestros antepasados. 7 Y ahora, prestadme atención. El SEÑOR os ha colmado de beneficios a vosotros y a vuestros antepasados, pero yo tengo una querella contra vosotros ante el SEÑOR. 8 »Después de que Jacob entró en Egipto, sus descendientes clamaron al SEÑOR. Entonces el SEÑOR envió a Moisés y a Aarón para sacarlos de Egipto y establecerlos en este lugar. 9 Pero, como se olvidaron de su SEÑOR y Dios, él los entregó al poder de Sísara, comandante del ejército de Jazor, y al poder de los filisteos y del rey de Moab, y ellos les hicieron la guerra. 10 Por eso vosotros clamasteis al SEÑOR: “Hemos pecado al abandonar al SEÑOR y adorar a los ídolos de Baal y a las imágenes de Astarté. Pero ahora, si nos libras del poder de nuestros enemigos, solo a ti te serviremos”. 11 Entonces el SEÑOR envió a Yerubaal, Barac,[1] Jefté y Samuel, y os libró del poder de los enemigos que os rodeaban, para que vivierais seguros. 12 »No obstante, cuando visteis que Najás, rey de los amonitas, os amenazaba, me dijisteis: “¡No! ¡Queremos que nos gobierne un rey!” Y esto, a pesar de que el SEÑOR vuestro Dios es vuestro rey. 13 Pues bien, aquí tenéis al rey que pedisteis y que habéis escogido. Pero tened en cuenta que es el SEÑOR quien os ha dado ese rey. 14 Si vosotros y el rey que os gobierne teméis al SEÑOR vuestro Dios, y le servís y le obedecéis, acatando sus mandatos y manteniéndoos fieles a él, ¡magnífico! 15 En cambio, si le desobedecéis y no acatáis sus mandatos, él descargará su mano sobre vosotros como la descargó contra vuestros antepasados. 16 »Y ahora, prestadme atención y observad con vuestros propios ojos algo grandioso que el SEÑOR va a hacer. 17 Ahora no es tiempo de lluvias, sino de cosecha.[2] Sin embargo, voy a invocar al SEÑOR, y él enviará truenos y lluvia; así os daréis cuenta de la gran maldad que habéis cometido ante el SEÑOR al pedir un rey». 18 Samuel invocó al SEÑOR, y ese mismo día el SEÑOR mandó truenos y lluvia. Todo el pueblo sintió un gran temor ante el SEÑOR y ante Samuel, 19 y le dijeron a Samuel: ―Ora al SEÑOR tu Dios por nosotros, tus siervos, para que no nos quite la vida. A todos nuestros pecados hemos añadido la maldad de pedirle un rey. 20 ―No temáis —replicó Samuel—. Aunque vosotros habéis cometido una gran maldad, no os apartéis del SEÑOR; más bien, servidle de todo corazón. 21 No os alejéis de él por seguir a ídolos inútiles, que no os pueden ayudar ni rescatar, pues no sirven para nada. 22 Por amor a su gran nombre, el SEÑOR no rechazará a su pueblo; de hecho, él se ha dignado a haceros a vosotros su propio pueblo. 23 En cuanto a mí, que el SEÑOR me libre de pecar contra él dejando de orar por vosotros. Yo seguiré enseñándoos el camino bueno y recto. 24 Pero os exhorto a temer al SEÑOR y a servirle fielmente y de todo corazón, recordando los grandes beneficios que él ha hecho en vuestro favor. 25 Si persistís en la maldad, tanto vosotros como vuestro rey seréis destruidos.

1.Samuel 12

English Standard Version



1 And Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have obeyed your voice in all that you have said to me and have made a king over you. (1Sam 8,5; 1Sam 8,19; 1Sam 10,24; 1Sam 11,14) 2 And now, behold, the king walks before you, and I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day. (4Mo 27,17; 1Sam 8,1; 1Sam 8,5; 1Sam 8,20) 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me[1] and I will restore it to you.” (2Mo 20,17; 4Mo 16,15; 1Sam 10,1; 1Sam 24,6; 1Sam 26,9; 1Sam 26,11; 1Sam 26,16; 2Sam 1,14; 2Sam 1,16) 4 They said, “You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man’s hand.” 5 And he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they said, “He is witness.” (2Mo 21,16; 2Mo 22,4; 1Sam 12,3) 6 And Samuel said to the people, “The Lord is witness,[2] who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. (Mi 6,4) 7 Now therefore stand still that I may plead with you before the Lord concerning all the righteous deeds of the Lord that he performed for you and for your fathers. 8 When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them,[3] then your fathers cried out to the Lord and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place. (1Mo 46,5; 2Mo 2,23; 2Mo 3,10; 2Mo 4,14; 1Sam 10,18) 9 But they forgot the Lord their God. And he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor,[4] and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them. (Ri 3,7; Ri 3,12; Ri 3,31; Ri 4,2; Ri 10,7; Ri 13,1) 10 And they cried out to the Lord and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.’ (Ri 2,13; Ri 3,9; Ri 10,10; Ri 10,15) 11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak[5] and Jephthah and Samuel and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and you lived in safety. (Ri 4,6; Ri 4,8; Ri 4,10; Ri 6,14; Ri 6,32; Ri 11,1; 1Sam 7,10) 12 And when you saw that Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when the Lord your God was your king. (Ri 8,23; 1Sam 8,5; 1Sam 8,7; 1Sam 8,19; 1Sam 10,19; 1Sam 11,1) 13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. (1Sam 9,16; 1Sam 10,24; Hos 13,11) 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. (5Mo 6,2; Jos 24,14; 1Sam 12,24) 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.[6] (3Mo 26,14; 5Mo 28,15; Jos 24,20; 1Sam 5,9; 1Sam 12,9) 16 Now therefore stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. (2Mo 14,13) 17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.” (1Sam 7,9; 1Sam 8,7; Spr 26,1; Jak 5,16) 18 So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. (2Mo 14,31; Esr 10,9) 19 And all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.” (2Mo 9,28; 2Mo 10,17; 1Sam 12,23; Jer 15,1) 20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. (5Mo 11,16) 21 And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. (1Sam 12,20; Jer 16,19; Hab 2,18; 1Kor 8,4) 22 For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself. (5Mo 7,7; 5Mo 14,2; Jos 7,9; 1Kön 6,13; 1Kön 8,57; Ps 94,14; Ps 106,8; Jer 14,21; Hes 20,9; Hes 20,14; Hes 20,22; 1Petr 2,9) 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, and I will instruct you in the good and the right way. (1Sam 12,19; 1Kön 8,36; 2Chr 6,27; Ps 27,11; Spr 4,11; Jer 6,16) 24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. (5Mo 10,21; 1Sam 12,14; Ps 126,2; Pred 12,13) 25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.” (4Mo 16,26; 5Mo 28,36; Jos 24,20)
