1 Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, and a house for his kingdom.
2 And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend them.

3 And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein [so do for me].
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 Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement [of the shewbread], and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings [and] on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever 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 And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God 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 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice 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 And now send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and experienced in carving, besides the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
