1 Chronicles 17

1 It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under curtains."

Cuando David ya vivía en su casa, sucedió que él dijo al profeta Natán: Ciertamente yo vivo en casa de cedro, pero el Arca del Pacto de Yavé está entre cortinas.

2 Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you."

Natán respondió a David: ¡Haz todo lo que está en tu corazón, porque ʼElohim está contigo!

3 It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Pero esa misma noche vino Palabra de ʼElohim a Natán:

4 "Go and tell David my servant, 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

Vé y dí a mi esclavo David: Yavé dice: Tú no me edificarás Casa para que more.

5 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone about from tent to tent, and from tabernacle to tabernacle.

Porque no moré en alguna casa desde el día cuando saqué a los hijos de Israel hasta hoy, sino estuve de tienda en tienda, y de Tabernáculo en Tabernáculo.

6 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

Por dondequiera que anduve con todo Israel ¿hablé Palabra con alguno de los jueces de Israel, a quienes mandé a apacentar a mi pueblo? Le dije: ¿por qué no me edifican una Casa de cedro?

7 "Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

Por tanto, ahora dirás a mi esclavo David: Yavé de las huestes dice: Yo te tomé del pasto, de seguir tras las ovejas, para que fueras soberano sobre mi pueblo Israel.

8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

Estuve contigo en todo lo que anduviste y corté de tu presencia a todos tus enemigos. Te haré un nombre como el nombre de los grandes de la tierra.

9 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

Asimismo dispuse un lugar para mi pueblo Israel. Lo planté para que viva en él y no vuelva a ser removido, ni los perversos vuelvan a consumirlos como antes,

10 and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

desde el tiempo cuando designé jueces para mi pueblo Israel y sometí a todos tus enemigos. Además, te informo que Yavé te edificará casa.

11 And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

Después de ti, cuando tus días sean cumplidos para ir a estar con tus antepasados, habrá uno de tus descendientes y estableceré su reino.

12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

Él me edificará Casa, y Yo confirmaré su trono eternamente.

13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

Yo le seré Padre y él me será hijo. No apartaré mi misericordia de él, como la aparté del que estaba antes de ti,

14 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"

sino lo confirmaré en mi Casa y en mi reino eternamente. Su trono será establecido para siempre.

15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

Natán habló a David todas estas palabras según toda esta visión.

16 Then king David went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

Entonces el rey David entró, se colocó delante de Yavé y dijo: ¡Oh Yavé ʼElohim! ¿Quién soy yo y qué es mi casa, para que me trajeras hasta aquí?

17 This was a small thing in your eyes, God, but you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, LORD God.

Aun esto fue poco delante de Ti, oh ʼElohim, pues hablaste del futuro de la casa de tu esclavo en un tiempo lejano y me consideraste como un hombre excelente, oh Yavé ʼElohim.

18 What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, LORD.

¿Qué más puede David decirte por honrar a tu esclavo? Pues Tú conoces a tu esclavo.

19 For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known to your servant all these great things.

Oh Yavé, por amor a tu esclavo y según tu corazón, hiciste toda esta grandeza al dar a conocer todas estas grandezas.

20 LORD, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Oh Yavé, nadie hay como Tú, ni hay ʼElohim aparte de Ti, conforme a todo lo que escucharon nuestros oídos.

21 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt, a nation and its gods?

¿Cuál otro pueblo hay en la tierra como tu pueblo Israel, al cual ʼElohim acudió a rescatarlo como pueblo para Él, a fin de darte renombre por medio de grandes y terribles hazañas al expulsar naciones de delante de tu pueblo que rescataste de Egipto?

22 And you made your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

Pues estableciste a tu pueblo Israel como pueblo tuyo para siempre, y Tú, oh Yavé, fuiste su ʼElohim.

23 Now, LORD, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

Ahora pues, oh Yavé, confirma para siempre la Palabra que hablaste acerca de tu esclavo y de su casa. Haz como dijiste.

24 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of David your servant is established before you.

Permanezca y sea engrandecido tu Nombre para siempre, a fin de que se diga: ¡Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, es ʼElohim para Israel! Sea establecida la casa de tu esclavo David delante de Ti.

25 For you have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

Porque tú, ʼElohim mío, revelaste al oído de tu esclavo que le edificarás casa. Por eso tu esclavo halló valor para orar ante Ti.

26 Now, LORD, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

Ahora pues, Yavé, Tú eres ʼElohim, y prometiste a tu esclavo este bien.

27 Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."

Dígnate bendecir la casa de tu esclavo para que permanezca perpetuamente delante de Ti. Porque Tú, oh Yavé, la bendijiste, y será bendita para siempre.
