WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Entonces Salomón dijo: «Señor, al sol le diste el cielo como morada, pero los seres humanos no podían ver tu morada.

1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 Yo te he construido una casa para que habites en ella para siempre».

2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

3 El rey se volvió hacia toda la asamblea de Israel y la bendijo. Todos estaban de pie.

3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

4 Dijo: «Alabado sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, que con su poder ha cumplido lo que prometió a mi padre David. Le dijo:

4 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

5 “Desde el día en que saqué a mi pueblo de Egipto, no escogí ninguna ciudad de las tribus de Israel para construir un templo donde estuviera mi nombre. Tampoco escogí a nadie para gobernar a mi pueblo Israel.

5 ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;

6 Pero ahora he escogido a Jerusalén para que allí esté mi nombre, y a David para gobernar a mi pueblo Israel”.

6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’

7 Mi padre David deseaba construir un templo dedicado al nombre del Señor, Dios de Israel.

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

8 Pero el Señor le dijo: “Has hecho bien en desear construir un templo dedicado a mi nombre.

8 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;

9 Sin embargo, tú no lo construirás. Tu propio hijo será quien construya el templo dedicado a mi nombre”.

9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

10 El Señor ha cumplido su promesa. He sucedido a mi padre David en el trono de Israel, como el Señor prometió, y he construido el templo dedicado al nombre del Señor, Dios de Israel.

10 “Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

11 Allí he colocado el arca, en la que está el pacto que el Señor hizo con el pueblo de Israel».

11 There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”

12 Salomón se puso delante del altar del Señor, frente a toda la asamblea de Israel.

12 He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 Había hecho una plataforma de bronce de cinco codos de largo, cinco de ancho y tres de alto, y la había colocado en medio del atrio. Subió a ella, se arrodilló ante toda la asamblea de Israel y extendió las manos hacia el cielo.

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven).

14 Dijo: «Señor, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como tú en el cielo ni en la tierra. Mantienes tu pacto y tu misericordia con tus siervos que te siguen de todo corazón.

14 Then he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

15 Has cumplido lo que prometiste a tu siervo David, mi padre. Lo prometiste con tu boca y hoy lo has cumplido con tu poder.

15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

16 Ahora, Señor, Dios de Israel, cumple también lo que prometiste a tu siervo David, mi padre, cuando le dijiste: “Siempre tendrás un descendiente que ocupe ante mí el trono de Israel, con tal de que tus hijos cuiden su conducta y obedezcan mi ley, como tú me has obedecido”.

16 “Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

17 Señor, Dios de Israel, cumple la promesa que hiciste a tu siervo David.

17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

18 Pero ¿realmente puede Dios habitar con los seres humanos en la tierra? Ni el cielo ni los cielos más altos pueden contenerte. ¡Mucho menos este templo que he construido!

18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

19 Aun así, Señor mi Dios, atiende a la oración y a la súplica de tu siervo. Escucha el clamor y la oración que te dirijo.

19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

20 Mantén tus ojos abiertos día y noche sobre este templo, el lugar donde has dicho que pondrías tu nombre. Escucha la oración que tu siervo haga hacia este lugar.

20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.

21 Escucha las súplicas de tu siervo y de tu pueblo Israel cuando oren hacia este lugar. Escucha desde el cielo, donde habitas, y ten misericordia.

21 Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

22 Si alguien hace mal a su prójimo y se le exige un juramento, y viene a jurar ante tu altar en este templo,

22 “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,

23 escucha desde el cielo y juzga a tus siervos. Castiga al culpable por su maldad y haz justicia al inocente, protegiéndolo del mal.

23 then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

24 Si tu pueblo Israel es derrotado en la guerra por haber pecado contra ti, pero vuelve a ti, honra tu nombre, ora y suplica tu favor en este templo,

24 “If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,

25 escucha desde el cielo y perdona el pecado de tu pueblo Israel. Hazlo volver a la tierra que les diste a ellos y a sus antepasados.

25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

26 Si el cielo se cierra y no llueve porque han pecado contra ti, pero oran hacia este lugar, honran tu nombre y se apartan de su pecado cuando los castigas,

26 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,

27 escucha desde el cielo y perdona el pecado de tus siervos, de tu pueblo Israel. Enséñales el buen camino que deben seguir y envía lluvia sobre tu tierra, que diste a tu pueblo como herencia.

27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

28 Si hay hambre o enfermedad en la tierra, si el calor o el agua dañan las cosechas, si hay langostas o gusanos, o si sus enemigos sitian sus ciudades, cualquiera que sea la desgracia o la enfermedad,

28 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—

29 escucha toda oración o súplica que haga una persona o todo tu pueblo Israel, cuando cada uno, con su propio sufrimiento, extienda las manos hacia este templo.

29 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward this house,

30 Escucha desde el cielo, donde habitas, y perdona. Da a cada uno según su conducta, pues conoces su corazón. Solo tú conoces el corazón de los seres humanos.

30 then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),

31 Así te adorarán y seguirán tus caminos mientras vivan en la tierra que diste a nuestros antepasados.

31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

32 También, cuando un extranjero que no sea de tu pueblo Israel venga de un país lejano por la grandeza de tu nombre, tu mano fuerte y tu brazo extendido, y ore hacia este templo,

32 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

33 escucha desde el cielo, donde habitas, y concédele lo que te pida. Así todos los pueblos de la tierra conocerán tu nombre y te adorarán como tu pueblo Israel, y sabrán que este templo que he construido está dedicado a tu nombre.

33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

34 Si tu pueblo sale a la guerra contra sus enemigos por el camino que tú lo envíes, y ora hacia esta ciudad tuya y hacia el templo que he construido para tu nombre,

34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

35 escucha desde el cielo su oración y su súplica, y hazle justicia.

35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 Si pecan contra ti —pues no hay nadie que no peque— y tú te enojas con ellos y los entregas a sus enemigos, que los llevan cautivos a una tierra lejana o cercana,

36 “If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

37 pero allí reflexionan, vuelven a ti y te suplican diciendo: “Hemos pecado, hemos actuado mal, hemos cometido maldad”,

37 yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’

38 si vuelven a ti de todo corazón y con toda el alma en la tierra donde están cautivos, y oran hacia la tierra que diste a sus antepasados, hacia la ciudad que escogiste y hacia el templo que he construido para tu nombre,

38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

39 escucha desde el cielo, donde habitas, su oración y su súplica. Hazles justicia y perdona a tu pueblo que ha pecado contra ti.

39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

40 Ahora, Dios mío, mantén tus ojos abiertos y tus oídos atentos a las oraciones que se hagan en este lugar.

40 “Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.

41 Levántate, Señor Dios, y ven a tu lugar de descanso, tú y el arca de tu poder. Que tus sacerdotes, Señor Dios, se revistan de salvación y que tus fieles se alegren de tu bondad.

41 “Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

42 Señor Dios, no rechaces a tu ungido. Recuerda tu misericordia hacia David, tu siervo».

42 “Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
