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.
Y cuando Salomón acabó de orar, el fuego descendió de los cielos, y consumió el holocausto y las víctimas; y la gloria del SEÑOR 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.
Y no podían entrar los sacerdotes en la Casa del SEÑOR, porque la gloria del SEÑOR había llenado la Casa del SEÑOR.
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.
Y cuando vieron todos los hijos de Israel descender el fuego y la gloria del SEÑOR sobre la Casa, cayeron en tierra en el solado sobre sus rostros, y adoraron, confesando al SEÑOR diciendo: Que es bueno, que su misericordia es para siempre.
4 Then the king and all the people made offerings before the Lord.
Entonces el rey y todo el pueblo sacrificaron víctimas delante de el SEÑOR.
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.
Y ofreció el rey Salomón en sacrificio veintidós mil bueyes, y ciento veinte mil ovejas; y así dedicaron la Casa de Dios el rey y todo el pueblo.
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.
Y los sacerdotes estaban sobre sus guardas; y los levitas con los instrumentos de música del SEÑOR, los cuales había hecho el rey David para confesar al SEÑOR, porque su misericordia es para siempre; cuando David confesaba por mano de ellos. Asimismo los sacerdotes tocaban trompetas delante de ellos, y todo Israel estaba 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.
También santificó Salomón el medio del atrio que estaba delante de la Casa del SEÑOR, por cuanto había ofrecido allí los holocaustos, y los sebos de los pacíficos; porque en el altar de bronce que Salomón había hecho, no podían caber los holocaustos, y el presente, y los sebos.
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.
Entonces hizo Salomón fiesta siete días, y con él todo Israel, una grande congregación, desde la entrada de Hamat hasta el arroyo 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 convocación, porque habían hecho la dedicación del altar en siete días, y habían celebrado la fiesta solemne por 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.
Y a los veintitrés del mes séptimo envió al pueblo a sus estancias, alegres y gozosos de corazón por los beneficios que el SEÑOR había hecho a David, y 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.
Acabó, pues, Salomón la Casa del SEÑOR, y la casa del rey; y todo lo que Salomón tuvo en voluntad de hacer en la Casa del SEÑOR y en su casa, 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.
Y apareció el SEÑOR a Salomón de noche, y le dijo: Yo he oído tu oración, y he elegido para mí este lugar por una 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 cerrare los cielos, que no haya lluvia, y si mandare a la langosta que consuma la tierra, o si enviare pestilencia a 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.
si se humillare mi pueblo, sobre los cuales ni nombre es invocado, y oraren, y buscaren mi rostro, y se convirtieren de sus caminos malos; entonces yo oiré desde los cielos, y 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.
Ahora estarán abiertos mis ojos, y atentos mis oídos, 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.
así que ahora he elegido y santificado esta Casa, para que esté en ella mi Nombre para siempre; y mis ojos y mi corazón estarán ahí para siempre.
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:
Y tú, si anduvieres delante de mí, como anduvo David tu padre, e hicieres todas las cosas que yo te he mandado, y guardares mis estatutos y mis derechos,
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 confirmaré el trono de tu reino, como concerté con David tu padre, diciendo: No faltará varón de ti que domine 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:
Mas si vosotros os volviereis, y dejareis mis estatutos y mis preceptos que os he propuesto, y fuereis y sirviereis a dioses ajenos, y los adorareis,
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 he dado; y esta Casa que he santificado a mi Nombre, yo la echaré de delante de mí, y la pondré por proverbio y fábula en todos los pueblos.
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 esta Casa que es tan ilustre, será espanto a todo el que pasare, y dirá: ¿Por qué ha hecho así el SEÑOR a esta tierra y a 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 le será respondido: Por cuanto dejaron al SEÑOR Dios de sus padres, el cual los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, y echaron mano de dioses ajenos, y los adoraron y sirvieron; por eso él ha traído todo este mal sobre ellos.
