1 Kings 9
1 After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
Cuando Salomón terminó de construir la casa de Yahvé, la casa del rey y todo lo que Salomón deseaba hacer,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
Yahvé se le apareció a Salomón por segunda vez, como se le había aparecido en Gabaón.
3 Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
Yahvé le dijo: “He escuchado tu oración y tu súplica que has hecho ante mí. He santificado esta casa que has edificado, para poner allí mi nombre para siempre; y mis ojos y mi corazón estarán allí perpetuamente.
4 “And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
En cuanto a ti, si andas delante de mí como anduvo David tu padre, con integridad de corazón y rectitud, para hacer conforme a todo lo que te he mandado, y guardas mis estatutos y mis ordenanzas,
5 I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
entonces yo estableceré el trono de tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, como se lo prometí a David tu padre, diciendo: ‘No faltará de ti un hombre en el trono de Israel’.
6 “But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
Pero si te apartas de seguirme, tú o tus hijos, y no guardas mis mandamientos y mis estatutos que he puesto delante de ti, sino que vas y sirves a otros dioses y los adoras,
7 I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
entonces cortaré a Israel de la tierra que les he dado; y echaré de mi vista esta casa que he santificado para mi nombre, e Israel será un proverbio y una palabra de orden entre todos los pueblos.
8 This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
Aunque esta casa es tan alta, todos los que pasen por ella se asombrarán y silbarán; y dirán: “¿Por qué ha hecho esto Yahvé a esta tierra y a esta casa?”
9 And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
Y responderán: “Porque abandonaron a Yahvé, su Dios, que sacó a sus padres de la tierra de Egipto, y abrazaron a otros dioses, los adoraron y les sirvieron. Por eso Yahvé ha traído sobre ellos todo este mal’”.
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
Al cabo de veinte años, en los que Salomón había construido las dos casas, la de Yahvé y la del rey
11 Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
(ya que Hiram, rey de Tiro, había provisto a Salomón de cedros y cipreses, y de oro, según su deseo), el rey Salomón le dio a Hiram veinte ciudades en la tierra de Galilea.
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
Hiram salió de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había dado, y no le gustaron.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Dijo: “¿Qué ciudades son éstas que me has dado, hermano mío?” Las llamó la tierra de Cabul hasta el día de hoy.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Hiram envió al rey ciento veinte talentos de oro.
15 This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
Esta es la razón de los trabajos forzados que el rey Salomón reclutó: para construir la casa de Yahvé, su propia casa, Milo, la muralla de Jerusalén, Hazor, Meguido y Gezer.
16 [The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
El faraón, rey de Egipto, había subido, tomado Gezer, la había quemado con fuego, había matado a los cananeos que vivían en la ciudad y se la había dado como regalo de bodas a su hija, la esposa de Salomón.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Salomón edificó en la tierra Gezer, Bet Horón el inferior,
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
Baalat, Tamar en el desierto,
19 They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
todas las ciudades de almacenamiento que tenía Salomón, las ciudades para sus carros, las ciudades para su caballería, y lo que Salomón deseaba edificar para su placer en Jerusalén, en el Líbano y en toda la tierra de su dominio.
20 There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
En cuanto a todos los pueblos que quedaron de los amorreos, los hititas, los ferezeos, los heveos y los jebuseos, que no eran de los hijos de Israel —
21 [Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
sus hijos que quedaron después de ellos en la tierra, a quienes los hijos de Israel no pudieron destruir del todo — de ellos Salomón levantó una leva de siervos hasta el día de hoy.
22 But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
Pero de los hijos de Israel Salomón no hizo siervos, sino que fueron los hombres de guerra, sus siervos, sus príncipes, sus capitanes y los jefes de sus carros y de su caballería.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Estos eran los quinientos cincuenta oficiales principales que estaban al frente de la obra de Salomón, que gobernaban al pueblo que trabajaba en la obra.
24 After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
Pero la hija del faraón subió de la ciudad de David a su casa que Salomón había construido para ella. Entonces construyó Millo.
25 Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
Salomón ofrecía holocaustos y ofrendas de paz en el altar que construyó a Yahvé tres veces al año, quemando con ellos incienso en el altar que estaba delante de Yahvé. Así terminó la casa.
26 King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
El rey Salomón hizo una flota de barcos en Ezión Geber, que está junto a Elot, a orillas del Mar Rojo, en la tierra de Edom.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Hiram envió en la flota a sus siervos, marineros conocedores del mar, con los siervos de Salomón.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Llegaron a Ofir y sacaron de allí oro, cuatrocientos veinte talentos, y se lo llevaron al rey Salomón.
