2 Chronicles 7
1 Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.
Cuando Salomón terminó de orar, descendió fuego del cielo y consumió el holocausto y los sacrificios, y la gloria de Yavé llenó la Casa.
2 And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.
Los sacerdotes no pudieron entrar en la Casa de Yavé, porque la gloria de Yavé la llenó.
3 And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Todos los hijos de Israel, al ver que descendió el fuego y la gloria de Yavé sobre la Casa, se inclinaron rostro en tierra sobre el pavimento, adoraron y alabaron a Yavé: ¡Porque Él es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia!
4 Then the king and all the people made offerings before the Lord.
Entonces el rey y todo el pueblo ofrecieron sacrificios delante de Yavé.
5 King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.
El rey Salomón ofreció en sacrificio 22.000 becerros y 120.000 ovejas. El rey y todo el pueblo dedicaron la Casa de ʼElohim.
6 And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.
Los sacerdotes estaban en pie en sus puestos. Los levitas tenían los instrumentos de música de Yavé que el rey David hizo para alabar a Yavé, porque para siempre es su misericordia. Cada vez que él alababa por medio de ellos, los sacerdotes los acompañaban y tocaban las trompetas, y todo Israel permanecía en pie.
7 Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.
Salomón también consagró el interior del patio que estaba delante de la Casa de Yavé, por cuanto allí ofreció los holocaustos y la grasa de las ofrendas de paz, porque el altar de bronce que Salomón hizo no podía contener el holocausto, la ofrenda vegetal y la grasa.
8 So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.
Salomón mantuvo la solemnidad durante siete días, y todo Israel con él, una congregación muy grande, procedente desde la entrada de Hamat hasta el torrente de Egipto.
9 And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.
Al octavo día hicieron una asamblea solemne, porque celebraron la dedicación del Altar en siete días. Celebraron la solemnidad en siete días.
10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.
El día 23 del mes séptimo envió al pueblo a sus tiendas con regocijo y alegría de corazón por la bondad que Yavé mostró a David, a Salomón y a su pueblo Israel.
11 So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.
De esta manera Salomón terminó la Casa de Yavé y el palacio real. En todo lo que vino al corazón de Salomón para hacer en la Casa de Yavé y su propio palacio, fue prosperado.
12 Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.
Yavé apareció a Salomón de noche y le dijo: Escuché tu oración y escogí este lugar para Mí como Casa de sacrificio.
13 If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;
Si Yo cierro los cielos para que no llueva, si mando el saltamontes a devorar la tierra, o si envío pestilencia entre mi pueblo,
14 If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.
y se humilla mi pueblo sobre el cual es invocado mi Nombre, oran, buscan mi rostro y se convierten de sus malos caminos, Yo escucharé desde el cielo, perdonaré sus pecados y sanaré su tierra.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears awake to the prayers made in this place.
Mis ojos estarán abiertos y mis oídos atentos a la oración en este lugar.
16 For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.
Ahora elegí y santifiqué esta Casa para que mi Nombre esté allí para siempre, y mis ojos y mi corazón estén allí todos los días.
17 And as for you, if you will go on your way before me as David your father did, doing whatever I have given you orders to do and keeping my laws and my decisions:
En cuanto a ti, si andas delante de Mí como anduvo tu padre David, haces según todo lo que te mandé y guardas mis Estatutos y mis Decretos,
18 Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.
Yo afirmaré el trono de tu reino como pacté con tu padre David: No te faltará varón que gobierne en Israel.
19 But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:
Pero si ustedes se apartan y abandonan mis Estatutos y mis Mandamientos que puse ante ustedes, sirven a otros ʼelohim y se postran ante ellos,
20 Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.
Yo los arrancaré de mi tierra que les di y echaré de mi Presencia esta Casa que santifiqué a mi Nombre. La colocaré como refrán y escarnio entre todas las naciones.
21 And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?
Y [en cuanto a] esta Casa, que es tan excelsa, todo el que pase cerca de ella quedará asombrado y dirá: ¿Por qué Yavé hizo esto a esta tierra y esta Casa?
22 And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.
Y responderán: Porque abandonaron a Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados, Quien los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, se aferraron a otros ʼelohim, se postraron ante ellos, y les sirvieron. Por eso trajo sobre ellos todo este mal.
