< Psalms 132 >

1 Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
Acuérdate, oh Yavé, de David, Y de toda su aflicción.
2 He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
De cómo juró a Yavé, Y prometió al Fuerte de Jacob:
3 He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
Ciertamente no entraré en mi tienda, Ni subiré a mi cama.
4 I will not sleep at all
No concederé sueño a mis ojos, Ni a mis párpados calma,
5 until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
Hasta que halle lugar para Yavé, Tabernáculo para el Fuerte de Jacob.
6 In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
Ciertamente oímos de ello en Efrata. Lo hallamos en el campo del bosque.
7 [Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
Entremos en su Tabernáculo, Postrémonos ante el estrado de sus pies.
8 Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
Oh Yavé, levántate [y ven] al lugar de tu reposo, Tú y el Arca de tu poder.
9 I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
Que tus sacerdotes se vistan de justicia, Y se regocijen tus santos.
10 You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
Por amor a David tu esclavo, No vuelvas el rostro de tu ungido.
11 Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
En verdad Yavé juró a David, Y no se retractará de ello: De tu descendencia sentaré en tu trono.
12 If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
Si tus hijos observan mi Pacto, Y mi testimonio que Yo les enseño, Tus hijos también se sentarán en tu trono para siempre.
13 Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
Porque Yavé escogió a Sion. La deseó para morada suya:
14 he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
Este es el lugar de mi reposo para siempre. Aquí moraré, porque lo deseé.
15 I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
Con abundancia bendeciré su provisión, Y saciaré de pan a sus necesitados.
16 I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
Vestiré con salvación a sus sacerdotes, Y sus santos darán voces de júbilo.
17 There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
Allí retoñará el poder de David. Dispuse una lámpara para mi ungido.
18 I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
A sus enemigos vestiré de vergüenza, Pero sobre él resplandecerá su corona.
