RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And Solomon resolved to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
1 DETERMINÓ pues Salomón edificar casa al nombre de Jehová, y [otra] casa para su reino.
1 Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, and a house for his kingdom.
2 And he numbered seventy thousand men to carry upon shoulders, and eighty thousand who were hewing stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred as their overseers.
2 Y contó Salomón setenta mil hombres que llevasen cargas, y ochenta mil hombres que cortasen en el monte, y tres mil y seiscientos que los gobernasen.
2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
3 Also, he sent to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying: “Just as you did for my father David, when you sent him cedar wood, so that he might build a house for himself, in which he then lived,
3 Y envió á decir Salomón á Hiram rey de Tiro: [Haz conmigo] como hiciste con David mi padre, enviándole cedros para que edificara para sí casa en que morase.
3 Solomon sent to Huram 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 do so also for me, so that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, so that I may consecrate it for the burning of incense before him, and for the smoke of aromatics, and for the perpetual bread of the presence, and for the holocausts, in morning and in evening, as well as on the Sabbaths and new moons and solemnities of the Lord our God forever, which have been commanded to Israel.
4 He aquí yo tengo que edificar casa al nombre de Jehová mi Dios, para consagrársela, para quemar perfumes aromáticos delante de él, y para la colocación continua de los panes de la proposición, y para holocaustos á mañana y tarde, y los sábados, y nuevas lunas, y festividades de Jehová nuestro Dios; lo cual ha de ser perpetuo en Israel.
4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 For the house that I desire to build is great. For our God is great, above all gods.
5 Y la casa que tengo que edificar, ha de ser grande: porque el Dios nuestro es grande sobre todos los dioses.
5 “The house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
6 So then, who will be able prevail, so that he may build a worthy house for him? If heaven and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him, what am I that I would be able to build a house to him? But let it be for this only, so that incense may be burned before him.
6 Mas ¿quién será tan poderoso que le edifique casa? Los cielos y los cielos de los cielos no le pueden comprender; ¿quién pues soy yo, que le edifique casa, sino para quemar perfumes delante de él?
6 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 Therefore, send to me a learned man, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, with purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and who knows how to carve engravings, along with these artisans that I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom my father David has prepared.
7 Envíame pues ahora un hombre hábil, que sepa trabajar en oro, y en plata, y en metal, y en hierro, en púrpura, y en grana, y en cárdeno, y que sepa esculpir con los maestros que están conmigo en Judá y en Jerusalem, los cuales previno mi padre.
7 “Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, 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 Then too, send to me cedar wood, and juniper, and pine from Lebanon. For I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants,
8 Envíame también madera de cedro, de haya, de pino, del Líbano: porque yo sé que tus siervos entienden de cortar madera en el Líbano; y he aquí, mis siervos irán con los tuyos,
8 “Send me also cedar trees, cypress trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, my servants will be with your servants,
9 so that very much wood may be prepared for me. For the house that I desire to build is exceedingly great and glorious.
9 Para que me apresten mucha madera, porque la casa que tengo de edificar ha de ser grande y portentosa.
9 even to prepare timber in abundance for me; for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.
10 In addition, I will give to your servants, the workers who will cut down the trees, for provisions: twenty thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, as well as twenty thousand good measures of oil.”
10 Y he aquí para los operarios tus siervos, cortadores de la madera, he dado veinte mil coros de trigo en grano, y veinte mil coros de cebada, y veinte mil batos de vino, y veinte mil batos de aceite.
10 Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, said, by a letter that had been sent to Solomon: “Because the Lord loved his people, for this reason he appointed you to reign over them.”
11 Entonces Hiram rey de Tiro respondió por letras, las que envió á Salomón: Porque Jehová amó á su pueblo, te ha puesto por rey sobre ellos.
11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
12 And he added, saying: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
12 Y además decía Hiram: Bendito sea Jehová el Dios de Israel, que hizo los cielos y la tierra, y que dió al rey David hijo sabio, entendido, cuerdo y prudente, que edifique casa á Jehová, y casa para su reino.
12 Huram continued, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for Yahweh and a house for his kingdom.
13 Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,
13 Yo pues te he enviado un hombre hábil y entendido, [que fué] de Hiram mi padre,
13 Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
14 the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.
14 Hijo de una mujer de las hijas de Dan, mas su padre fué de Tiro; el cual sabe trabajar en oro, y plata, y metal, y hierro, en piedra y en madera, en púrpura y en cárdeno, en lino y en carmesí; asimismo para esculpir todas figuras, y sacar toda suerte de diseño que se le propusiere, y [estar] con tus hombres peritos, y con los de mi señor David tu padre.
14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, 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 Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.
15 Ahora pues, enviará mi señor á sus siervos el trigo y cebada, y aceite y vino, que ha dicho;
15 “Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants;
16 Then we will cut down as much wood from Lebanon as you will need, and we will convey them as rafts by sea to Joppa. Then it will be for you to transfer them to Jerusalem.”
16 Y nosotros cortaremos en el Líbano la madera que hubieres menester, y te la traeremos en balsas por la mar hasta Joppe, y tú la harás llevar hasta Jerusalem.
16 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall carry it up to Jerusalem.”
17 And so Solomon numbered all the new converts who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that David his father had done, and they were found to be one hundred fifty thousand and three thousand six hundred.
17 Y contó Salomón todos los hombres extranjeros que estaban en la tierra de Israel, después de haberlos ya contado David su padre, y fueron hallados ciento cincuenta y tres mil seiscientos.
17 Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
18 And he appointed seventy thousand of them, who would carry burdens on shoulders, and eighty thousand who would hew stones in the mountains, then three thousand and six hundred as overseers of the work of the people.
18 Y señaló de ellos setenta mil para llevar cargas, y ochenta mil que cortasen en el monte, y tres mil y seiscientos por sobrestantes para hacer trabajar al pueblo.
18 He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
