WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando llegó el séptimo mes y los israelitas ya estaban en sus ciudades, todo el pueblo se reunió en Jerusalén como un solo hombre.
1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Jesúa, hijo de Josadac, y sus hermanos los sacerdotes, junto con Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, y sus hermanos, se levantaron y construyeron el altar del Dios de Israel. Lo hicieron para ofrecer holocaustos, como está escrito en la ley de Moisés, el hombre de Dios.
2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 Levantaron el altar sobre su base, aunque tenían miedo de los pueblos de la región. Sobre él ofrecieron holocaustos al Señor por la mañana y por la tarde.
3 In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 Celebraron la Fiesta de los Tabernáculos como está escrito y presentaron cada día el número de holocaustos ordenado para ese día.
4 They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 Después presentaron el holocausto diario, las ofrendas de las lunas nuevas y de todas las fiestas sagradas establecidas por el Señor, además de las ofrendas voluntarias que cada persona presentaba al Señor.
5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to Yahweh.
6 Desde el primer día del séptimo mes comenzaron a ofrecer holocaustos al Señor, aunque todavía no se habían puesto los cimientos del templo del Señor.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was not yet laid.
7 Dieron dinero a los canteros y carpinteros, y alimentos, bebidas y aceite a los habitantes de Sidón y Tiro, para que llevaran madera de cedro desde el Líbano por mar hasta Jope, conforme al permiso de Ciro, rey de Persia.
7 They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
8 En el segundo año después de su llegada al templo de Dios en Jerusalén, en el segundo mes, Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel y Jesúa hijo de Josadac comenzaron la obra junto con sus hermanos, los sacerdotes y levitas, y todos los que habían regresado del destierro a Jerusalén. Encargaron a los levitas de veinte años o más que supervisaran la obra del templo del Señor.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.
9 Jesúa, sus hijos y sus hermanos, junto con Cadmiel y sus hijos, descendientes de Hodavías, se unieron para supervisar a los obreros del templo de Dios. También lo hicieron los descendientes de Henadad, con sus hijos y sus hermanos levitas.
9 Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 Cuando los constructores pusieron los cimientos del templo del Señor, los sacerdotes, vestidos con sus ropas sacerdotales, ocuparon sus lugares con trompetas, y los levitas descendientes de Asaf con címbalos, para alabar al Señor según lo establecido por David, rey de Israel.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 Cantaban alabanzas al Señor, respondiéndose unos a otros: «Él es bueno; su misericordia hacia Israel es eterna». Todo el pueblo gritó de alegría y alabó al Señor porque se habían puesto los cimientos de su templo.
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house had been laid.
12 Pero muchos sacerdotes, levitas y jefes de familia de edad avanzada, que habían visto el primer templo, lloraron en voz alta cuando vieron los cimientos de este templo. Al mismo tiempo, muchos otros gritaban de alegría.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 Nadie podía distinguir los gritos de alegría del llanto, porque el pueblo hacía tanto ruido que se oía desde muy lejos.
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
