| BSB 1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and I have set over you a king. | NBVE 1 Samuel habló al pueblo: ―Bien, ya los he complacido: Les he dado un rey, |
| BSB 2 Now here is the king walking before you, and I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day. | NBVE 2 mis hijos son parte del pueblo, y yo ya estoy viejo y lleno de canas y los he estado sirviendo desde que era un niño. |
| BSB 3 Here I am. Bear witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated or oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe and closed my eyes? Tell me, and I will restore it to you.” | NBVE 3 Ahora, díganme mientras estoy delante del Señor y delante de su ungido: ¿He robado a alguien un buey o un burro? ¿He defraudado alguna vez a alguno de ustedes? ¿Los he oprimido alguna vez? ¿He recibido soborno de alguien? Díganmelo y rectificaré todo lo malo que haya hecho. |
| BSB 4 “You have not cheated us or oppressed us,” they replied, “nor have you taken anything from the hand of man.” | NBVE 4 ―No —contestaron—, jamás has defraudado ni oprimido a nadie y jamás has recibido soborno. |
| BSB 5 Samuel said to them, “The LORD is a witness against you, and His anointed is a witness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.” “He is a witness,” they replied. | NBVE 5 ―El Señor y el rey que ha ungido son mis testigos —declaró Samuel— de que no pueden acusarme de haberles robado. ―Sí, son testigos —contestaron. |
| BSB 6 Then Samuel said to the people, “The LORD is the One who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. | NBVE 6 ―Fue el Señor quien designó a Moisés y a Aarón y sacó de Egipto a nuestros antepasados —continuó Samuel—. |
| BSB 7 Now present yourselves, so that I may confront you before the LORD with all the righteous acts He has done for you and your fathers. | NBVE 7 Ahora, permanezcan de pie delante del Señor mientras les hago un recuento de los beneficios que él nos ha hecho a nosotros y a nuestros antepasados, y de lo mal que le hemos respondido: |
| BSB 8 When Jacob went to Egypt, your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He sent them Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and settled them in this place. | NBVE 8 »Después de que Jacob entró a Egipto, los israelitas clamaron al Señor, él envió a Moisés y a Aarón para que los introdujeran en esta tierra. |
| BSB 9 But they forgot the LORD their God, and He sold them into the hand of Sisera the commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines and the king of Moab, who fought against them. | NBVE 9 Pero pronto se olvidaron del Señor su Dios, y él los entregó en manos de Sísara, general del ejército de Jabín, rey de Jazor, y en manos de los filisteos y del rey de Moab. |
| BSB 10 Then they cried out to the LORD and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths. Now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, that we may serve You.’ | NBVE 10 Ellos clamaron al Señor nuevamente y confesaron que habían pecado apartándose de él y adorando a Baal y a Astarté. Y suplicaron: “Solamente a ti te adoraremos si nos salvas de nuestros enemigos”. |
| BSB 11 So the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side, and you dwelt securely. | NBVE 11 Y el Señor envió a Gedeón, Barac, Jefté y Samuel para que los salvaran y ustedes vivieran seguros. |
| BSB 12 But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a king to rule over us’—even though the LORD your God was your king. | NBVE 12 »Cuando tuvieron miedo de Najás, rey de Amón, vinieron y me dijeron que deseaban que un rey los gobernara. Pero el Señor nuestro Dios era nuestro rey, porque él siempre lo había sido. |
| BSB 13 Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a king over you. | NBVE 13 Bien, este es el rey que ustedes pidieron. Mírenlo. El Señor les ha contestado su petición. |
| BSB 14 If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the king who rules over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well. | NBVE 14 Ahora, si temen al Señor y lo adoran y prestan atención a todos sus mandamientos, y si ustedes y el rey siguen fieles a su Dios, todo irá bien. |
| BSB 15 But if you disobey the LORD and rebel against His command, then the hand of the LORD will be against you as it was against your fathers. | NBVE 15 Pero si se rebelan contra los mandamientos del Señor, su mano caerá pesadamente sobre ustedes como ocurrió con sus antepasados. |
| BSB 16 Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the LORD will do before your eyes. | NBVE 16 »Ahora fíjense en la maravilla que el Señor va a realizar. |
| BSB 17 Is it not the wheat harvest today? I will call on the LORD to send thunder and rain, so that you will know and see what a great evil you have committed in the sight of the LORD by asking for a king.” | NBVE 17 Ustedes saben que no suele llover durante la cosecha del trigo. Oraré que el Señor envíe truenos y lluvia hoy, para que comprendan el mal que han cometido al pedir un rey. |
| BSB 18 So Samuel called to the LORD, and on that day the LORD sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. | NBVE 18 Entonces Samuel invocó al Señor, y él envió truenos y lluvia. Y el pueblo sintió mucho temor del Señor y de Samuel. |
| BSB 19 They pleaded with Samuel, “Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so that we will not die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of asking for a king.” | NBVE 19 ―Ora para que no muramos —lloraron delante de Samuel—, porque ahora hemos añadido a todos nuestros pecados el de pedir un rey. |
| BSB 20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “Even though you have committed all this evil, do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. | NBVE 20 ―No teman —los animó Samuel—. Ciertamente han hecho mal, pero al menos no desistan de seguir al Señor y sírvanle con todo el corazón. |
| BSB 21 Do not turn aside after worthless things that cannot profit you or deliver you, for they are empty. | NBVE 21 Los otros dioses no los pueden ayudar porque son falsos. |
| BSB 22 Indeed, for the sake of His great name, the LORD will not abandon His people, because He was pleased to make you His own. | NBVE 22 El Señor no abandonará a su pueblo escogido, porque ello deshonraría su gran nombre. Él los ha hecho una nación especial simplemente porque él lo ha querido. |
| BSB 23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you the good and right way. | NBVE 23 En cuanto a mí, lejos esté de mí el pecar contra el Señor dejando de orar por ustedes. Yo les seguiré enseñando lo que es bueno y correcto. |
| BSB 24 Above all, fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you. | NBVE 24 Confíen en él y adórenlo con sinceridad. Piensen en las grandes cosas que ha hecho por ustedes. |
| BSB 25 But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away.” | NBVE 25 Pero si siguen pecando, ustedes y el rey serán destruidos. |
