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.
Entonces el rey David dijo a todos los allí reunidos: “Mi hijo Salomón, elegido sólo por Dios, es joven e inexperto, y el trabajo a realizar es grande porque este Templo no será para el hombre, sino para el Señor 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 todos mis medios he provisto para la casa de mi Dios: oro para los artículos de oro, plata para la plata, bronce para el bronce, hierro para el hierro y madera para la madera; piedras de ónice y piedras para los engastes: turquesa, piedras de diferentes colores, toda clase de piedras preciosas; y mucho mármol.
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.
“Además, por mi devoción a la casa de mi Dios, ahora doy mi fortuna personal de oro y plata, además de todo lo que he provisto para esta santa casa.
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
3.000 talentos de oro -el oro de Ofir- y 7.000 talentos de plata refinada irán a cubrir 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 la orfebrería, y la plata para la platería, y para todo el trabajo de los artesanos. ¿Quién quiere comprometerse de buen grado a dar hoy al Señor?”
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).
Dieron de buena gana: los jefes de familia, los responsables de las tribus de Israel, los comandantes de millares y de centenas, y los funcionarios encargados de la obra del rey.
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.
Dieron para el servicio de la casa de Dios 5.000 talentos y 10.000 dáricos de oro, 10.000 talentos de plata, 18.000 talentos de bronce y 100.000 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 al tesoro de la casa del Señor, bajo la supervisión de Jehiel el 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.
El pueblo celebró porque sus líderes habían estado tan dispuestos a dar al Señor, libremente y de todo corazón. El rey David también se alegró mucho.
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!
Entonces David alabó al Señor ante toda la asamblea: “¡Alabado seas, Señor, Dios de Israel, nuestro padre, por los siglos de los siglos!
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.
Señor, tuyos son la grandeza, el poder, la gloria, el esplendor y la majestad, porque todo lo que hay en el cielo y en la tierra es tuyo. Señor, tuyo es el reino, y eres admirado como gobernante de todo.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
Las riquezas y el honor provienen de ti y tú reinas de forma suprema. Tú posees el poder y la fuerza, y tienes la capacidad de engrandecer a las personas y de dar fuerza a todos.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
“Ahora, nuestro Dios, te damos gracias y te alabamos a ti y a tu glorioso carácter.
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].
Pero, ¿quién soy yo y quién es mi pueblo, para que seamos capaces de dar de tan buena gana? Porque todo lo que tenemos viene de ti; sólo te devolvemos lo que tú nos has dado.
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].
A tus ojos somos extranjeros y forasteros, como nuestros antepasados. Nuestro tiempo aquí en la tierra pasa como una sombra, no tenemos esperanza de quedarnos mucho tiempo.
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].
“Señor, Dios nuestro, incluso toda esta riqueza que hemos proporcionado para construirte una casa para tu santo nombre proviene de lo que tú das, y todo te pertenece.
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.
Yo sé, Dios mío, que tú miras por dentro y te alegras cuando vivimos bien. Todo lo he dado de buena gana y con un corazón honesto, y ahora he visto a tu pueblo aquí dando felizmente y de buena gana para ti.
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.
Señor, el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, de Israel y de nuestros antepasados, por favor, mantén estos pensamientos y compromisos en la mente de tu pueblo para siempre, y haz que permanezcan leales a 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].”
Por favor, dale también a mi hijo Salomón el deseo de cumplir de todo corazón tus mandamientos, decretos y estatutos, y de hacer todo lo posible para construir tu Templo que yo he dispuesto”.
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.
Entonces David dijo a todos los presentes: “¡Alaben al Señor, su Dios!” Y todos alabaron al Señor, el Dios de sus padres. Se inclinaron en reverencia ante el Señor 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 presentaron sacrificios y holocaustos al Señor: mil toros, mil carneros y mil corderos, con sus libaciones y abundantes sacrificios para 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.
Entonces comieron y bebieron en presencia del Señor con gran alegría aquel día. Hicieron rey por segunda vez a Salomón, hijo de David, y lo ungieron como gobernante del Señor, y ungieron a Sadoc como 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.
Así Salomón ocupó el trono del Señor como rey en lugar de David, su padre. Tuvo éxito, y todos los israelitas le obedecieron.
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 funcionarios y guerreros, así como todos los hijos del rey David, hicieron una promesa solemne de lealtad 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.
El Señor hizo que Salomón fuera muy respetado en todo Israel, y le dio mayor majestad real que la que se le había dado a cualquier otro rey de Israel antes de él.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
Así, David, hijo de Isaí, gobernó sobre todo Israel.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Gobernó sobre Israel cuarenta años: siete en Hebrón y treinta y tres en Jerusalén.
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].
David murió a una buena edad, habiendo vivido una larga vida bendecida con riquezas y honor. Entonces su hijo Salomón tomó el relevo y gobernó en su lugar.
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.
Todo lo que hizo el rey David, desde el principio hasta el final, está escrito en las Actas de Samuel el Vidente, las Actas de Natán el Profeta y las Actas de Gad el Vidente.
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].
Estos incluyen todos los detalles de su reinado, su poder y lo que le sucedió a él, a Israel y a todos los reinos de los países vecinos.
