1 Samuel 2:28-33
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
28Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel? 29Why are you showing contempt for My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded for My dwelling, and why are you honoring your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?’ 30Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father was to walk before Me forever’; but now the LORD declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be insignificant. 31Behold, the days are coming when I will eliminate your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32And you will look at the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that I do for Israel; and there will never be an old man in your house. 33Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar, so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life.King James Version
Chapter 2
28And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel? 29Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people? 30Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 32And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever. 33And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
28Out of all the tribes of Israel, I chose your house to be my priests, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your forefather's family all the Israelite food offerings. 29Why, then, do all of you despise my sacrifices and offerings that I require at the place of worship? You have honored your sons more than me, by making yourselves fat with the best part of all of the offerings of my people Israel.'
30"Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel: 'I did say that your family and your forefather's family would walk before me forever. But now,' this is the Lord's declaration, 'no longer! For those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disgraced.
31Look, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your forefather's family, so that none in your family will reach old age.
32You will see distress in the place of worship, in spite of all that is good in Israel, and no one in your family will ever again reach old age.
33Any man from your family I do not cut off from my altar will bring grief and sadness to you. All your descendants will die violently.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
28I chose your ancestor Aaron from among all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear the priestly vest as he served me. And I assigned the sacrificial offerings to you priests. 29So why do you scorn my sacrifices and offerings? Why do you give your sons more honor than you give me--for you and they have become fat from the best offerings of my people Israel!
30'Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.
31The time is coming when I will put an end to your family, so it will no longer serve as my priests. All the members of your family will die before their time. None will reach old age.
32You will watch with envy as I pour out prosperity on the people of Israel. But no members of your family will ever live out their days.
33Those who survive will live in sadness and grief, and their children will die a violent death.

Chapter 2
28Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel. 29Why then do you scorn my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded for my dwelling, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’ 30Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ but now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32Then in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. 33The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his eyes out to grieve his heart, and all the descendants of your house shall die by the sword of men.New International Version
Chapter 2
28I chose your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your ancestor's family all the food offerings presented by the Israelites. 29Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?'
30Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: 'I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.' But now the LORD declares: 'Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.
31The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,
32and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.
33Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life.

Chapter 2
28“¿No los escogí de entre todas las tribus de Israel para ser mis sacerdotes, para subir a mi altar, para quemar incienso, para llevar un efod delante de mí ? ¿No di a la casa de tu padre todas las ofrendas encendidas de los hijos de Israel ? 29“¿Por qué pisoteáis mi sacrificio y mi ofrenda que he ordenado en mi morada, y honras a tus hijos más que a mí, engordándoos con lo mejor de cada ofrenda de mi pueblo Israel?” 30Por tanto, el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, declara: “Ciertamente yo había dicho que tu casa y la casa de tu padre andarían delante de mí para siempre ”; pero ahora el SEÑOR declara: “Lejos esté esto de mí, porque yo honraré a los que me honran, y los que me menosprecian serán tenidos en poco. 31“He aquí, vienen días cuando cortaré tu fuerza, y la fuerza de la casa de tu padre, y no habrá anciano en tu casa. 32“Y verás la angustia de mi morada, a pesar de todo el bien que hago a Israel; y nunca habrá anciano en tu casa. 33“Sin embargo, a algunos de los tuyos no cortaré de mi altar para que tus ojos se consuman llorando y tu alma sufra ; pero todos los nacidos en tu casa morirán en la flor de la juventud.Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Chapter 2
28‘¿No los escogí de entre todas las tribus (la de Leví) de Israel para ser Mis sacerdotes, para subir a Mi altar, para quemar incienso, para llevar un efod delante de Mí? ¿No le di a la casa de tu padre todas las ofrendas encendidas de los Israelitas? 29‘¿Por qué pisotean Mi sacrificio y Mi ofrenda que he ordenado en Mi morada, y honras a tus hijos más que a Mí, engordándose ustedes con lo mejor de cada ofrenda de Mi pueblo Israel?’ 30Por tanto, el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, declara: ‘Ciertamente Yo había dicho que tu casa y la casa de tu padre andarían delante de Mí para siempre;’ pero ahora el SEÑOR declara: ‘Lejos esté esto de Mí, porque Yo honraré a los que Me honran, y los que Me desprecian serán tenidos en poco. 31Por tanto, vienen días cuando cortaré tu fuerza, y la fuerza de la casa de tu padre, y no habrá anciano en tu casa. 32Y verás la angustia de Mi morada, a pesar de todo el bien que hago a Israel; y nunca habrá anciano en tu casa.Nueva Versión Internacional
Chapter 2
28De entre todas las tribus de Israel, escogí a Aarón para que fuera mi sacerdote, es decir, para que en mi presencia se acercara a mi altar, quemara el incienso y se pusiera el efod. Además, a su familia le concedí las ofrendas que los israelitas queman en mi honor. 29¿Por qué, pues, tratan ustedes con tanto desprecio los sacrificios y ofrendas que yo he ordenado que me traigan? ¿Por qué honras a tus hijos más que a mí, y los engordas con lo mejor de todas las ofrendas de mi pueblo Israel?”
30»Por lo tanto —dice el SEÑOR—, de ninguna manera permitiré que tus parientes me sirvan, aun cuando yo había prometido que toda tu familia, tanto tus antepasados como tus descendientes, me servirían siempre. Yo, el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, lo afirmo. Yo honro a los que me honran, y humillo a los que me desprecian.
31En efecto, se acerca el día en que acabaré con tu poder y con el de tu familia; ninguno de tus descendientes llegará a viejo.
32Mirarás con envidia el bien que se le hará a Israel, y ninguno de tus descendientes llegará a viejo.
33Si permito que alguno de los tuyos continúe sirviendo en mi altar, será para arruinarte la vista y abatirte la vida; todos tus descendientes morirán en la flor de la vida.
Reina-Valera 1960
Chapter 2
28Y yo le escogí por mi sacerdote entre todas las tribus de Israel, para que ofreciese sobre mi altar, y quemase incienso, y llevase efod delante de mí; y di a la casa de tu padre todas las ofrendas de los hijos de Israel. 29¿Por qué habéis hollado mis sacrificios y mis ofrendas, que yo mandé ofrecer en el tabernáculo; y has honrado a tus hijos más que a mí, engordándoos de lo principal de todas las ofrendas de mi pueblo Israel? 30Por tanto, Jehová el Dios de Israel dice: Yo había dicho que tu casa y la casa de tu padre andarían delante de mí perpetuamente; mas ahora ha dicho Jehová: Nunca yo tal haga, porque yo honraré a los que me honran, y los que me desprecian serán tenidos en poco. 31He aquí, vienen días en que cortaré tu brazo y el brazo de la casa de tu padre, de modo que no haya anciano en tu casa. 32Verás tu casa humillada, mientras Dios colma de bienes a Israel; y en ningún tiempo habrá anciano en tu casa. 33El varón de los tuyos que yo no corte de mi altar, será para consumir tus ojos y llenar tu alma de dolor; y todos los nacidos en tu casa morirán en la edad viril.Biblia del Jubileo
