2 Crónicas 2
1 Salomón se propuso edificar una Casa al Nombre de Yavé y un palacio real para él.
Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.
2 Salomón designó 70.000 cargadores y 80.000 canteros para labrar piedras en la región montañosa, y 3.600 supervisores.
And Solomon had seventy thousand men numbered for transport, and eighty thousand for cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers.
3 Salomón envió a decir a Hiram, rey de Tiro: Haz conmigo como hiciste con mi padre David, al enviarle cedros para que edificara una casa para vivir.
And Solomon sent to Huram, king of Tyre, saying, As you did for my father David, sending him cedar-trees for the building of his house,
4 Ciertamente yo voy a edificar una Casa al Nombre de Yavé mi ʼElohim para consagrarla a Él y quemar incienso aromático ante Él para la presentación continua de los panes, para los holocaustos de la mañana, la llegada de la noche, los holocaustos de los sábados, las lunas nuevas y las fiestas solemnes de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, lo cual se hará perpetuamente en Israel.
See! I am building a house for the name of the Lord my God, to be made holy to him, where perfumes of sweet spices will be burned before him, and the holy bread will be placed at all times, and burned offerings will be offered morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts of the Lord our God. This is a law for ever to Israel.
5 La Casa que voy a edificar es grande, pues nuestro ʼElohim es más grande que todos los ʼelohim.
And the house which I am building is to be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
6 Pero ¿quién será capaz de edificarle Casa, cuando el cielo y el más alto cielo no lo pueden contener? ¿Quién soy yo para que le edifique Casa, sino solo para quemar incienso ante Él?
But who may have strength enough to make a house for him, seeing that the heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be his resting-place? who am I then to make a house for him? But I am building it only for the burning of perfume before him.
7 Ahora pues, envíame un hombre hábil para trabajar en oro, plata, bronce, hierro, [tela de] púrpura, carmesí y azul, y que sepa cómo hacer grabados para que trabaje con los expertos que están conmigo en Judá y Jerusalén, a quienes mi padre David contrató.
So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.
8 Envíame también cedros, cipreses y sándalos del Líbano. Ciertamente mis esclavos irán con los tuyos porque yo sé que tus esclavos saben talar los árboles del Líbano
And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,
9 a fin de preparar madera en abundancia, porque la Casa que tengo que edificar será grande y portentosa.
To get trees for me in great numbers, for the house which I am building is to be great and a wonder.
10 Mira, para el sustento de tus esclavos que cortan y labran la madera doy 4.400.000 litros de trigo, 4.400.000 litros de cebada, 440.000 litros de vino y 440.000 litros de aceite.
And I will give as food to your servants, the wood-cutters, twenty thousand measures of grain, and twenty thousand measures of barley and twenty thousand measures of wine and twenty thousand measures of oil.
11 Hiram, rey de Tiro, respondió en una carta que envió a Salomón: A causa del amor de Yavé por su pueblo, te designó rey.
Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.
12 Y Hiram añadió: ¡Bendito sea Yavé ʼElohim de Israel, Quien hizo el cielo y la tierra, Quien dio al rey David un hijo sabio, dotado de discreción y entendimiento, quien edificará una Casa para Yavé y un palacio real para él!
And Huram said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, maker of heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, full of wisdom and good sense, to be the builder of a house for the Lord and a house for himself as king.
13 Yo, pues, te envío a Hiram-abí, hombre hábil dotado de entendimiento,
And now I am sending you a wise and expert man, Huram who is as my father,
14 hijo de una mujer de las hijas de Dan, y su padre es de Tiro. Él sabe trabajar en oro, plata, bronce, hierro, piedra, madera, y [tela de] púrpura, azul, carmesí y lino fino. Puede hacer toda clase de grabados y ejecutar cualquier proyecto que le sea encomendado, quien se podrá colocar entre tus peritos y los peritos de mi ʼadón David, tu padre.
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron, in stone and wood, in purple and blue and fair linen and red, trained in the cutting of every sort of ornament and the invention of every sort of design; let him be given a place among your expert workmen and those of my lord, your father David.
15 En cuanto al trigo, la cebada, el aceite y el vino de los cuales mi ʼadón habló, entréguelos a sus esclavos,
So now let my lord send to his servants the grain and the oil and the wine as my lord has said;
16 y nosotros mismos talaremos árboles del Líbano de acuerdo con todas tus necesidades. Te los llevaremos en balsas por mar a Jope, y tú los subirás a Jerusalén.
And we will have wood cut from Lebanon, as much as you have need of, and will send it to you on flat boats by sea to Joppa, and from there you may take it up to Jerusalem.
17 Salomón contó todos los extranjeros que estaban en la tierra de Israel, según el censo que hizo su padre David. Se halló que había 153.600.
Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.
18 Designó a 70.000 de ellos como cargadores, a 80.000 para tallar piedras en la región montañosa y a 3.600 supervisores para vigilar la labor de la gente.
Seventy thousand he put to the work of transport, eighty thousand to cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers to put the people to work.
