1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.
Entonces David dijo: Ésta es la Casa de Yavé ʼElohim, y éste es el altar del holocausto para Israel.
2 And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.
David mandó que se reuniera a los extranjeros que estaban en la tierra de Israel, y designó canteros que labraran piedras para edificar la Casa de ʼElohim.
3 And he got together a great store of iron, for the nails for the doors and for the joins; and brass, more in weight than might be measured;
También David preparó gran cantidad de hierro para los clavos de las hojas de las puertas y las junturas, más bronce del que podía pesarse.
4 And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.
También preparó abundancia de madera de cedro, porque los sidonios y tirios la llevaban a David.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.
David dijo: Mi hijo Salomón es joven y sin experiencia. La Casa que se va a edificar a Yavé debe ser magnífica por excelencia, para fama y honra en todas las tierras. Por tanto, haré preparativos para ella. Antes de su muerte David hizo abundantes preparativos.
6 Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
Entonces David llamó a su hijo Salomón y le mandó que edificara una Casa a Yavé ʼElohim de Israel.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.
David dijo a Salomón: Hijo mío, tuve en mi corazón el anhelo de edificar una Casa al Nombre de Yavé mi ʼElohim,
8 But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.
pero la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí: Tú has derramado mucha sangre y has hecho grandes guerras. Por tanto, no edificarás Casa a mi Nombre, porque has derramado mucha sangre en la tierra delante de Mí.
9 But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;
Ciertamente te nacerá un hijo, quien será varón de paz, porque Yo le daré paz de todos sus enemigos en derredor. Por tanto su nombre será Salomón, y en su tiempo Yo daré paz y reposo a Israel.
10 He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.
Él edificará Casa a mi Nombre y me será hijo. Yo le seré Padre y estableceré el trono de su reino sobre Israel para siempre.
11 Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.
Ahora pues, hijo mío, Yavé sea contigo para que prosperes y edifiques la Casa de Yavé tu ʼElohim, como Él dijo acerca de ti.
12 Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
Que Yavé te dé entendimiento y prudencia, para que cuando Él te dé dominio sobre Israel, observes la Ley de Yavé tu ʼElohim.
13 And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.
Entonces serás prosperado, si cuidas de practicar los Preceptos y Decretos que Yavé mandó a Moisés para Israel. ¡Esfuérzate y sé valiente! ¡No temas ni desmayes!
14 Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.
Mira que yo, con grandes esfuerzos, preparé para la Casa de Yavé 3.300 toneladas de oro y 33.000 toneladas de plata, y bronce y hierro incalculables porque son abundantes. También preparé madera y piedra, a lo cual tú añadirás.
15 And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort of work,
Además, hay obreros contigo en abundancia: canteros, albañiles para piedra, ebanistas y hombres expertos en toda clase de obra.
16 In gold and silver and brass and iron more than may be numbered. Up! then, and to work; and may the Lord be with you.
El oro, la plata, el bronce y el hierro son incalculables. Levántate y comienza a trabajar. ¡Yavé sea contigo!
17 Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,
Asimismo David mandó a todos los jefes de Israel que ayudaran a su hijo Salomón y dijo:
18 Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.
¿No está Yavé su ʼElohim con ustedes? Él les dio paz por todas partes, por cuanto Él entregó en mi mano a los habitantes de la tierra, la cual fue sometida delante de Yavé y de su pueblo.
19 Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.
Dispongan su corazón y su alma para buscar a Yavé su ʼElohim. Levántense y edifiquen el Santuario de Yavé ʼElohim, para llevar el Arca del Pacto de Yavé y los utensilios consagrados a ʼElohim a la Casa que será edificada al Nombre de Yavé.
