2 Chronicles 1
1 David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
Salomón, hijo de David, se estableció firmemente en su reino, pues Yavé su ʼElohim estaba con él y lo exaltó muchísimo.
2 [When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
Salomón habló a todo Israel: a los jefes de millares y centenas, a los jueces y a todos los jefes de todo Israel, jefes de sus casas paternas.
Salomón y toda la congregación fueron al lugar alto que estaba en Gabaón, porque allí estaba el Tabernáculo de Reunión de ʼElohim, que Moisés, esclavo de Yavé, hizo en el desierto.
Pues David subió el Arca de ʼElohim de Quiriat-jearim al lugar que le preparó, porque le levantó una tienda en Jerusalén.
El altar de bronce que hizo Bezaleel, hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, estaba allí delante del Tabernáculo de Yavé. Salomón y la congregación fueron a consultarle.
6 Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
Salomón subió allá ante Yavé al altar de bronce que estaba en el Tabernáculo de Reunión, y ofreció sobre él 1.000 holocaustos.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
Aquella noche ʼElohim se apareció a Salomón y le dijo: Pide lo que quieras que Yo te dé.
8 Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
Salomón respondió a ʼElohim: Tú mostraste gran misericordia a mi padre David y me constituiste rey en su lugar.
9 So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
Ahora, oh Yavé ʼElohim, sea confirmada tu Palabra que diste a David mi padre, pues Tú me designaste rey de un pueblo tan numeroso como el polvo de la tierra.
10 Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
Dame sabiduría y conocimiento para que yo salga y entre delante de este pueblo, porque ¿quién puede juzgar a este pueblo tuyo tan grande?
11 God replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
ʼElohim respondió a Salomón: Porque tuviste esto en mente, y no pediste riquezas, ni posesiones, ni honor, ni la vida de los que te aborrecen, ni siquiera pediste larga vida, sino pediste para ti sabiduría y conocimiento para juzgar a mi pueblo sobre el cual te designé rey,
12 Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
se te dan sabiduría y conocimiento. Te daré riquezas, posesiones y honor, tales como ningún rey los tuvo hasta ahora, ni los tendrá después de ti.
13 Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
Salomón regresó a Jerusalén después de estar en el Tabernáculo de Reunión en el lugar alto de Gabaón y comenzó a reinar en Israel.
14 Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
Salomón reunió carruajes de guerra y jinetes. Tuvo 1.400 carruajes de guerra y 12.000 jinetes que situó en las ciudades de los carruajes y en Jerusalén cerca del rey.
15 During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
El rey logró que la plata y el oro fueran como las piedras en Jerusalén, y que el cedro fuera tan abundante como los sicómoros de la Sefela.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
Los caballos de Salomón eran de Egipto. Los mercaderes del rey los compraban por manadas.
17 In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
Llevaban de Egipto un carruaje por 600 piezas de plata, y un caballo por 150. Por medio de ellos también los adquirían todos los reyes de los hititas y los reyes de Siria.
