1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
Dijo el rey David a toda la asamblea: “Mi hijo Salomón a quien solo ha escogido Dios, es todavía joven y tierno, y la obra es grande; pues este alcázar no es para hombre, sino para Yahvé Dios.
2 From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
Con todas mis fuerzas he preparado para la Casa de mi Dios el oro para los objetos de oro, la plata para los de plata, el bronce para los de bronce, el hierro para los de hierro y la madera para los de madera; también piedras de ónice y (piedras) de engaste; piedras brillantes y de varios colores, toda suerte de piedras preciosas y piedras de mármol en abundancia.
3 In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
Fuera de esto, en mi amor a la Casa de mi Dios, doy a la Casa de mi Dios el oro y la plata que poseo, además de todo lo que tengo preparado para la Casa del Santuario:
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
tres mil talentos de oro, del oro de Ofir, y siete mil talentos de plata acrisolada para revestir las paredes de los edificios;
5 for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
el oro para los objetos de oro, la plata para los de plata, y para todas las obras hechas por mano de los artífices, ¿Quién, pues, quiere ahora hacer una ofrenda espontánea a Yahvé?”
6 Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
Entonces los jefes de las casas paternas, los príncipes de las tribus de Israel, los jefes de miles y de cientos, y los administradores de la hacienda del rey ofrecieron espontáneamente sus ofrendas,
7 For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
y dieron para la obra de la Casa de Dios, cinco mil talentos de oro, diez mil dáricos, diez mil talentos de plata, diez y ocho mil talentos de bronce y cien mil talentos de hierro.
8 And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
Los que tenían piedras preciosas, las entregaron para el tesoro de la Casa de Yahvé, en mano de Jehiel gersonita.
9 The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
Y se regocijó el pueblo por haberlo hecho voluntariamente; porque de todo su corazón habían ofrecido espontáneamente sus dádivas a Yahvé. También el rey David tuvo un gran gozo.
10 Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
Después bendijo David a Yahvé en presencia de toda la asamblea; y dijo David: “¡Bendito Tú, oh Yahvé, Dios de nuestro padre Israel, desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad!
11 You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
Tuya, oh Yahvé, es la grandeza, el poder, la magnificencia, el esplendor y la majestad; pues tuyo es cuánto hay en el cielo y en la tierra. Tuyo, oh Yahvé, es el reino; Tú te eriges en cabeza de todo.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
De Ti proceden la riqueza y la gloria; Tú lo gobiernas todo; en tu mano están el poder y la fortaleza, y en tu mano el dar grandeza y poder a todos.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
Ahora, pues, oh Dios nuestro, te alabamos y celebramos tu Nombre glorioso.
14 But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
Pues ¿quién soy yo, y quién es mi pueblo, para que seamos capaces de ofrecerte tales donativos? Porque todo viene de Ti, y te damos lo (que hemos recibido) de tus manos.
15 [In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
Porque extranjeros y advenedizos somos delante de Ti, como todos nuestros padres; como sombra son nuestros días sobre la tierra, y no hay espera.
16 Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
Yahvé, Dios nuestro, todo este grande acopio que hemos acumulado, a fin de edificarte una Casa para tu santo Nombre, viene de tu mano, y es todo tuyo.
17 My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
Bien sé, Dios mío, que Tú pruebas los corazones y amas la rectitud; por eso te he ofrecido voluntariamente todo esto con sincero corazón, y ahora veo con regocijo a tu pueblo, a los que se hallan aquí, cómo te ofrecen espontáneamente sus dones.
18 Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
Oh, Yahvé, Dios de nuestros padres, de Abrahán, de Isaac y de Israel, conserva esto perpetuamente para formar los pensamientos del corazón de tu pueblo, y dirige Tú su corazón hacia Ti.
19 And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
Da a mi hijo Salomón un corazón perfecto, para que guarde tus mandamientos, tus testimonios y tus preceptos, a fin de que todo lo ponga por obra y edifique el palacio, para el cual yo he hecho los preparativos.”{}
20 Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
Después dijo David a toda la asamblea: “¡Bendecid a Yahvé vuestro Dios!” Y toda la asamblea bendijo a Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres, e inclinaron la cabeza y se postraron ante Yahvé y ante el rey.
21 The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
Al día siguiente inmolaron a Yahvé víctimas y le ofrecieron holocaustos: mil becerros, mil carneros y mil corderos, con sus correspondientes libaciones y muchos sacrificios por todo Israel.
22 On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
En aquel día comieron y bebieron ante Yahvé con gran gozo, y por segunda vez proclamaron rey a Salomón, hijo de David, y le ungieron por rey delante de Yahvé, y a Sadoc por sacerdote.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
Entonces se sentó Salomón como rey sobre el trono de Yahvé, en lugar de su padre David, y prosperó y le obedeció todo Israel.
24 King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
Todos los jefes y grandes, y también todos los hijos del rey David, prestaron obediencia al rey Salomón.
25 Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
Y Yahvé le engrandeció en extremo a los ojos de todo Israel, y le confirió tanta gloria real cual nunca había tenido ningún rey de Israel antes de él.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
David, el hijo de Isaí, reinó sobre todo Israel.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Fueron los días que reinó sobre Israel cuarenta años. En Hebrón reinó siete años, y en Jerusalén reinó treinta y tres.
28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
Murió en buena vejez, harto de días, riqueza y gloria; y en su lugar reinó su hijo Salomón.
29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
Los hechos del rey David, los primeros y los postreros, he aquí que están escritos en la historia del vidente Samuel, en la historia del profeta Natán y en la historia del vidente Gad,
30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
juntamente con todo su reinado y sus hazañas, y las vicisitudes que pasaron sobre él, sobre Israel y sobre todos los reinos de los (demás) países.
