2 Crónicas 2
1 Salomón se propuso edificar una Casa al Nombre de Yavé y un palacio real para él.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
2 Salomón designó 70.000 cargadores y 80.000 canteros para labrar piedras en la región montañosa, y 3.600 supervisores.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
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.
Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
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.
Look, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 La Casa que voy a edificar es grande, pues nuestro ʼElohim es más grande que todos los ʼelohim.
"The house which I build is great; for our God is great above 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 is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense 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.
"Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
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
"Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your servants,
9 a fin de preparar madera en abundancia, porque la Casa que tengo que edificar será grande y portentosa.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
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.
Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths 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 Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because the LORD loves his people, he 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!
Hiram continued, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Yo, pues, te envío a Hiram-abí, hombre hábil dotado de entendimiento,
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
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; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
15 En cuanto al trigo, la cebada, el aceite y el vino de los cuales mi ʼadón habló, entréguelos a sus esclavos,
"Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
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 cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry 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.
Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred 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.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
