2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,
Después dijo Salomón: “Yahvé ha dicho que moraría en la oscuridad.
2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”
Por eso te he edificado una Casa para morada, y un lugar estable donde habites para siempre.”
3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,
Luego, volviendo el rey su rostro, bendijo a toda la asamblea de Israel, estando de pie toda la asamblea de Israel.
4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,
Dijo: “Bendito sea Yahvé, Dios de Israel, que con su boca habló a David, mi padre, y con su mano ha cumplido (lo prometido) diciendo:
5 From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;
«Desde el día que saqué a mi pueblo de la tierra de Egipto, no he elegido ninguna ciudad entre todas las tribus de Israel, para edificar una Casa donde estuviese mi Nombre; ni elegí varón que fuese príncipe de Israel, mi pueblo;
6 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
pero (ahora) he escogido a Jerusalén, para que esté allí mi Nombre, y he elegido a David para que reine sobre Israel, mi pueblo.»
7 And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,
David, mi padre, tuvo la intención de edificar una Casa al Nombre de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel.
8 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart,
Yahvé, empero, dijo a David, mi padre: «En cuanto a tu intención de edificar una Casa a mi Nombre, bien has hecho en concebir esta idea.
9 but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.
Sin embargo, no edificarás tú la Casa, sino que un hijo tuyo que saldrá de tus entrañas, ese será quien edificará la Casa a mi Nombre.»
10 And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,
Ahora bien, Yahvé ha cumplido la palabra que había pronunciado; me he levantado yo en lugar de David, mi padre, y me he sentado sobre el trono de Israel, como Yahvé había dicho, y he edificado la Casa al Nombre de Yahvé, Dios de Israel;
11 and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”
y he puesto allí el Arca, en la cual está la Alianza de Yahvé, que Él celebró con los hijos de Israel.”
12 And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—
Después (Salomón) se puso ante el altar de Yahvé, frente a toda la asamblea de Israel y extendió las manos —
13 for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—
pues Salomón había hecho una tribuna de bronce de cinco codos de largo, cinco codos de ancho, y tres codos de alto, que había colocado en medio del atrio— y poniéndose sobre ella se arrodilló y frente a toda la asamblea de Israel, extendió sus manos hacia el cielo,
14 and says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;
y dijo: “Yahvé, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como Tú, ni en el cielo ni en la tierra; Tú guardas la Alianza y la misericordia para con tus siervos que andan delante de Ti con todo su corazón.
15 who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at this day.
Tú has cumplido todas las promesas que diste a tu siervo David, mi padre, porque con tu boca lo prometiste, y con tu mano lo has cumplido, como (se ve) el día de hoy.
16 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked before Me.
Ahora, oh Yahvé, Dios de Israel, cumple también lo que prometiste a tu siervo David, mi padre, diciendo: Nunca te faltará varón delante de Mí que se siente sobre el trono de Israel, con tal que tus hijos velen sobre su camino andando en mi Ley, como tú has andado delante de Mí.
17 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to David.
Cúmplase ahora, oh Yahvé, Dios de Israel, tu palabra que prometiste a tu siervo David.
18 For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?
Pero, ¿es realmente posible que Dios habite con los hombres sobre la tierra? He aquí que los cielos y los cielos de los cielos no te pueden abarcar, ¿cuánto menos esta Casa que yo acabo de edificar?
19 And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,
Con todo, atiende a la oración de tu siervo y a su súplica, oh Yahvé, Dios mío, y escucha el clamor y la oración que tu siervo presenta delante de Ti.
20 for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
¡Que tus ojos estén abiertos sobre esta Casa día y noche, sobre este lugar del cual has dicho que pondrías allí tu Nombre para escuchar la oración que dirige tu siervo hacia este lugar!
21 And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.
Oye, pues, la súplica de tu siervo y de Israel, tu pueblo, cuando oren hacia este lugar. Escucha Tú desde el lugar de tu morada, el cielo; escucha y perdona.
22 If a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your altar in this house—
Si alguno pecare contra su prójimo, y se le impusiere que haga juramento, y si él viniere a jurar delante de tu altar en esta Casa,
23 then You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.
escúchale desde el cielo; obra y juzga a tus siervos; da su merecido al inicuo, haciendo recaer su conducta sobre su cabeza, y declarando inocente al justo, remunerándole según su justicia.
24 And if Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house—
Si Israel, tu pueblo, fuere vencido por el enemigo, por haber pecado contra Ti, y ellos se convirtieren y confesaren tu Nombre, orando y suplicando ante Ti en esta Casa,
25 then You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given to them, and to their fathers.
escúchalos desde el cielo, y perdona el pecado de Israel, tu pueblo, y llévalos de nuevo a la tierra que les diste a ellos y a sus padres.
26 In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You afflict them—
Si se cerrare el cielo, de manera que no haya lluvia, por haber pecado ellos contra Ti; si entonces oraren hacia este lugar y confesaren tu Nombre, convirtiéndose de su pecado por afligirlos Tú,
27 then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your people for an inheritance.
escúchalos en el cielo, y perdona el pecado de tus siervos y de Israel, tu pueblo, enseñándoles el buen camino en que deben andar, y envía lluvia sobre la tierra que has dado por herencia a tu pueblo.
28 Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;
Si sobreviniere hambre en el país, si hubiere peste, o si hubiere tizón, o añublo, langosta u otra clase de insectos, o si su enemigo los cercare en el país, en las ciudades, o si hubiere cualquier otra plaga o enfermedad,
29 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out his hands toward this house—
si entonces un hombre, o todo Israel, tu pueblo, hiciere oraciones y súplicas, y uno, reconociendo su llaga y su dolor, tendiere sus manos hacia esta Casa,
30 then You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),
escúchale desde el cielo, lugar de tu morada, y perdona, remunerando a cada uno conforme a todos sus caminos, estándote manifiesto su corazón —pues solamente Tú conoces el corazón de los hijos de los hombres—
31 so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.
para que te teman, andando en tus caminos todo el tiempo que vivieren en la tierra que Tú diste a nuestros padres.
32 And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—
También al extranjero, que no es de tu pueblo de Israel, si viniere de tierras lejanas a causa de tu gran Nombre, tu mano fuerte y tu brazo extendido, cuando viniere y orare en esta Casa,
33 then You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.
escúchale desde el cielo, lugar de tu morada, y haz conforme a todo lo que te pidiere el extranjero, a fin de que todos los pueblos de la tierra conozcan tu Nombre y te teman, como Israel, tu pueblo, y sepan que tu Nombre es invocado sobre esta Casa por mí edificada.
34 When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—
Si saliere tu pueblo a campaña contra sus enemigos siguiendo el camino por el cual Tú le envíes, si oraren a Ti, dirigiendo su rostro hacia esta ciudad que Tú has escogido, y la Casa que yo he edificado a tu Nombre,
35 then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.
escucha Tú desde el cielo su oración y su plegaria, y hazles justicia.
36 When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to a land far off or near;
Cuando pecaren contra Ti —pues no hay hombre que no peque— y Tú irritado contra ellos los entregares en poder de un enemigo que los lleve cautivos a un país lejano o cercano,
37 and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;
y ellos volviendo en sí en el país de su cautiverio se convirtieren y te suplicaren en la tierra de su cautiverio, diciendo: «Hemos pecado, hemos cometido iniquidad, hemos obrado mal»;
38 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your Name—
si de veras se convirtieren a Ti de todo su corazón y con toda su alma en el país de su cautiverio a que fueron llevados cautivos, y oraren mirando hacia la tierra que Tú diste a sus padres, y hacia la ciudad que Tú escogiste, y hacia la Casa que yo he edificado a tu Nombre,
39 then You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.
escucha desde el cielo, desde el lugar de tu morada, su oración y su plegaria; hazles justicia y perdona a tu pueblo los pecados cometidos contra Ti.
40 Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
Estén, oh Dios mío, tus ojos abiertos, y tus oídos atentos a la oración que se haga en este lugar.
41 And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.
¡Y ahora, levántate, oh Yahvé, Dios (y ven) al lugar de tu reposo, Tú y el Arca de tu poderío! ¡Que tus sacerdotes, oh Yahvé Dios, se revistan de salud y tus santos gocen de tus bienes!
42 O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”
Yahvé, Dios mío, no rechaces el rostro de tu ungido; acuérdate de las misericordias (otorgadas) a David, tu siervo.”
