2 Samuel 7
1 After [King] David began to live in his palace, Yahweh protected him from all his enemies.
Aconteció que cuando el rey ya vivía en su casa, después que Yavé le dio reposo de todos sus enemigos alrededor,
2 One day he said to the prophet Nathan, “[It is not right that] I am here, living in a [beautiful] house made of cedar [wood], but the chest that contains God’s Ten Commandments is kept in a tent!”
el rey dijo al profeta Natán: Mira, yo vivo en casa de cedro, pero el Arca de ʼElohim está entre cortinas.
3 Then Nathan said to the king, “Yahweh is helping/directing you, so do [regarding that chest] whatever you are thinking.”
Natán respondió al rey: ¡Vé, haz todo lo que está en tu corazón, porque Yavé está contigo!
4 But that night, Yahweh said to Nathan,
Pero aconteció que esa misma noche Palabra de Yavé llegó a Natán:
5 “Go and tell my servant, David, that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to him: ‘You are not the one [RHQ] who should build a temple for me to live in.
Vé y dí a mi esclavo David: Así dice Yavé: ¿Tú me edificarás Casa en la cual Yo more?
6 I have not lived in any building from the day that I brought the Israeli people up from Egypt until now. Instead, I have been living in a tent, moving from one place to another [when the Israelis] moved to other places.
Porque desde el día cuando saqué a los hijos de Israel de Egipto hasta hoy, no moré en alguna casa, sino estuve en tienda y en tabernáculo.
7 Wherever I went with all the Israelis [as they traveled], I never said [RHQ] to any of their leaders whom I appointed to lead them, “Why have you not built me a temple made of cedar [wood]?”’
En todo lo que anduve con todos los hijos de Israel, ¿hablé Yo Palabra a alguna de las tribus de Israel, a la cual mandé a apacentar a mi pueblo Israel? ¿Le pregunté por qué no me edificó casa de cedro?
8 So this is what you should say to my servant David: ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels says that he took you from a pasture where you were taking care of sheep, [and appointed you] to become the ruler of my Israeli people.
Ahora pues, dirás esto a mi esclavo David: Yavé de las huestes dice: Yo te tomé del redil, de seguir tras las ovejas, para que seas jefe de mi pueblo Israel.
9 I have (been with/helped) you wherever you have gone. I have gotten rid of all your enemies as you advanced. I will enable you to become very famous, as well-known as the names of all the greatest men [who have ever lived] on the earth.
Estuve contigo en todo lo que has andado y destruí a todos tus enemigos delante de ti. Te di un gran nombre, como el nombre de los grandes de la tierra.
10 Formerly, during the time that I appointed leaders for my Israeli people, many violent groups oppressed the Israelis. But this will not happen any more. I have chosen a place where my Israeli people can live [peacefully] and no one will disturb them any more. I will give them rest from [being attacked by] their enemies. And I will defeat all your enemies. I declare to you that I, Yahweh, will enable your descendants to rule after you [die].
También dispuse un lugar para mi pueblo Israel. Lo planté para que viva en él, para que nunca más sea removido, ni los perversos los sigan afligiendo como antes,
desde el día cuando designé jueces para mi pueblo Israel. Y te daré descanso de todos tus enemigos. Además, Yavé te dice que Él te hará una casa.
12 When your life ends [EUP] and you go to be with your ancestors, I will appoint one of your sons to be king, and I will enable his kingdom to (be strong/resist all their enemies).
Cuando tus días sean cumplidos y duermas con tus antepasados, después de ti levantaré a tu descendiente, el cual vendrá de ti, y afirmaré su reino.
13 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built for me [MTY], and I will cause his [descendants] to be kings [MTY] [of Israel] forever.
Él edificará casa a mi Nombre y Yo afirmaré el trono de su reino para siempre.
14 I will be [like] a father to him, and [it will be as though] he [is] a son to me [MET]. When he does something that is wrong, I will punish him as fathers punish their sons.
Yo le seré padre y él me será hijo. Cuando haga mal lo corregiré con vara de hombres y con azotes de los hijos de hombres.
15 But I will not stop faithfully loving him as I stopped loving Saul, whom I removed from being king before you became king.
Pero mi misericordia no se apartará de él como la aparté de Saúl, a quien quité de delante de ti.
16 Your descendants will rule the kingdom [of Israel] forever. Their rule will never end. [DOU]’”
Tu casa y tu reino permanecerán para siempre ante ti, y tu trono será estable eternamente.
17 So Nathan told David everything that Yahweh had told him.
Así Natán habló a David, conforme a todas estas Palabras, y según toda esta visión.
18 Then David went into [the Sacred Tent] and sat in the presence of Yahweh, and prayed this: “Yahweh, my God, I am not worthy [RHQ] [for you to have done all these things] for me, and my family is not worthy, either.
Entonces el rey David entró y se sentó delante de Yavé y dijo: ¡Oh ʼAdonay Yavé! ¿Quién soy yo y qué es mi casa para que me trajeras hasta aquí?
19 “And now, O Yahweh my God, in addition to everything else, you have spoken about what will happen to my descendants in the future for many generations.
Aún te pareció insignificante esto, oh ʼAdonay Yavé. Hablaste también acerca de la casa de tu esclavo en un lejano futuro. ¡Oh ʼAdonay Yavé, cuán grande designio para un hombre!
20 “Yahweh God, what more can I, David, say to you [for honoring me]? Although you know very well [what I am like], Yahweh my God, you have done things for me as though I was the most important man [on the earth]!
¿Qué más puede decirte David? ¡Oh ʼAdonay Yavé, Tú conoces a tu esclavo!
21 For my sake and because it is what you wanted to do, you have done all these great things for me.
Según tu Palabra y conforme a tu corazón hiciste toda esta grandeza para declararla a tu esclavo.
22 “Yahweh my God, you are great. There is no one like you. Only you are God, just as we have always heard.
Por tanto Tú eres grande, oh ʼAdonay Yavé. ¡Nadie hay como Tú, ni hay otro ʼElohim además de Ti, según todo lo que escuchamos con nuestros oídos!
23 And there is no other nation in the world like Israel. Israel is the only nation on the earth whose people you went out to rescue [RHQ]. By the great and awesome things that you did, you have become famous/well-known throughout the world. As your people advanced [through this land], you expelled other people-groups [who were here in Canaan], who worshiped other gods.
¿Cuál otra nación hay en la tierra como tu pueblo Israel, a la cual ʼElohim vino a redimir como pueblo para Él, y para hacer cosas asombrosas a favor de tu tierra delante de tu pueblo, al cual sacaste de Egipto para Ti mismo, de entre las naciones y sus ʼelohim?
24 And you caused us Israeli people to be your people forever, and you, Yahweh, have become our God!
¡Estableciste a tu pueblo Israel como pueblo tuyo para siempre, y Tú, oh Yavé, eres su ʼElohim!
25 “And now, Yahweh my God, [I pray that you will] cause the things that you promised to me about my descendants to be fulfilled forever, and [that you will] do the things that you said [that you would do].
Ahora pues, Yavé ʼElohim, confirma para siempre la Palabra que hablaste con respecto a tu esclavo y su casa, y haz como Tú dijiste.
26 When that happens, you will become famous forever, and people will exclaim, ‘The Almighty Commander of the armies of angels is the God who rules Israel.’ And you will cause that forever there will be descendants of mine who will rule.
Que tu Nombre sea engrandecido para siempre, y que digan: ¡Yavé de las huestes es el ʼElohim de Israel! Y que la casa de tu esclavo David sea firme delante de ti.
27 “Yahweh Almighty, the God whom we Israeli people [worship], you have revealed to me that you will make some of my descendants kings. For that reason, I have been brave enough to pray like this to you.
Porque Tú, oh Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, diste una revelación a tu esclavo, al decir: Yo te edificaré casa. Por tanto tu esclavo halló en su corazón valor para hacer esta súplica delante de Ti.
28 So now, O Yahweh Almighty, because you are God, we can trust that you will do what you promise. You have promised these good things to me.
Ahora pues, ʼAdonay Yavé, Tú mismo eres ʼElohim. Tus Palabras son verdad, y prometiste a tu esclavo este bien.
29 So now I ask you that if it pleases you, you will bless my descendants, in order that they may continue [to rule] forever. Yahweh God, you have promised these things, and [so I know that] you will keep blessing my descendants forever.”
Así pues, que te plazca bendecir la casa de tu esclavo para que esté siempre delante de Ti, porque Tú, oh ʼAdonay Yavé, hablaste, y con tu bendición, la casa de tu esclavo será bendita para siempre.
