1 Kings 9 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
1 Y COMO Salomón hubo acabado la obra de la casa de Jehová, y la casa real, y todo lo que Salomón quiso hacer,
2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
2 Jehová apareció á Salomón la segunda vez, como le había aparecido en Gabaón.
3 The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
3 Y díjole Jehová: Yo he oído tu oración y tu ruego, que has hecho en mi presencia. Yo he santificado esta casa que tú has edificado, para poner mi nombre en ella para siempre; y en ella estarán mis ojos y mi corazón todos los días.
4 As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
4 Y si tú anduvieres delante de mí, como anduvo David tu padre, en integridad de corazón y en equidad, haciendo todas las cosas que yo te he mandado, y guardando mis estatutos y mis derechos,
5 then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
5 Yo afirmaré el trono de tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, como hablé á David tu padre, diciendo: No faltará de ti varón en el trono de Israel.
6 But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
6 Mas si obstinadamente os apartareis de mí vosotros y vuestros hijos, y no guardareis mis mandamientos y mis estatutos que yo he puesto delante de vosotros, sino que fuereis y sirviereis á dioses ajenos, y los adorareis;
7 then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
7 Yo cortaré á Israel de sobre la haz de la tierra que les he entregado; y esta casa que he santificado á mi nombre, yo la echaré de delante de mí, é Israel será por proverbio y fábula á todos los pueblos;
8 This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
8 Y esta casa que estaba en estima, cualquiera que pasare por ella se pasmará, y silbará, y dirá: ¿Por qué ha hecho así Jehová á esta tierra, y á esta casa?
9 The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
9 Y dirán: Por cuanto dejaron á Jehová su Dios, que había sacado á sus padres de tierra de Egipto, y echaron mano á dioses ajenos, y los adoraron, y los sirvieron: por eso ha traído Jehová sobre ellos todo aqueste mal.
10 It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
10 Y aconteció al cabo de veinte años, en que Salomón había edificado las dos casas, la casa de Jehová y la casa real,
11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
11 (Para las cuales Hiram rey de Tiro, había traído á Salomón madera de cedro y de haya, y cuanto oro él quiso), que el rey Salomón dió á Hiram veinte ciudades en tierra de Galilea.
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
12 Y salió Hiram de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había dado, y no le contentaron.
13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
13 Y dijo: ¿Qué ciudades son estas que me has dado, hermano? Y púsoles por nombre, la tierra de Cabul, hasta hoy.
14 Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
14 Y había Hiram enviado al rey ciento y veinte talentos de oro.
15 Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
15 Y esta es la razón del tributo que el rey Salomón impuso para edificar la casa de Jehová, y su casa, y á Millo, y el muro de Jerusalem, y á Hasor, y Megiddo, y Gezer.
16 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, and killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
16 Faraón el rey de Egipto había subido y tomado á Gezer, y quemádola, y había muerto los Cananeos que habitaban la ciudad, y dádola en don á su hija la mujer de Salomón.
17 Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
17 Restauró pues Salomón á Gezer, y á la baja Beth-oron,
18 Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
18 Y á Baalath, y á Tadmor en tierra del desierto;
19 and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
19 Asimismo todas las ciudades donde Salomón tenía municiones, y las ciudades de los carros, y las ciudades de la gente de á caballo, y todo lo que Salomón deseó edificar en Jerusalem, en el Líbano, y en toda la tierra de su señorío.
20 The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
20 A todos los pueblos que quedaron de los Amorrheos, Hetheos, Pherezeos, Heveos, Jebuseos, que no fueron de los hijos de Israel;
21 who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
21 A sus hijos que quedaron en la tierra después de ellos, que los hijos de Israel no pudieron acabar, hizo Salomón que sirviesen con tributo hasta hoy.
22 But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
22 Mas á ninguno de los hijos de Israel impuso Salomón servicio, sino que eran hombres de guerra, ó sus criados, ó sus príncipes, ó sus capitanes, ó comandantes de sus carros, ó su gente de á caballo.
23 They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
23 Y los que Salomón había hecho jefes y prepósitos sobre las obras, eran quinientos y cincuenta, los cuales estaban sobre el pueblo que trabajaba en aquella obra.
24 Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
24 Y subió la hija de Faraón de la ciudad de David á su casa que [Salomón] le había edificado: entonces edificó él á Millo.
25 Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
25 Y ofrecía Salomón tres veces cada un año holocaustos y pacíficos sobre el altar que él edificó á Jehová, y quemaba perfumes sobre el que estaba delante de Jehová, después que la casa fué acabada.
26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
26 Hizo también el rey Salomón navíos en Ezión-geber, que es junto á Elath en la ribera del mar Bermejo, en la tierra de Edom.
27 Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
27 Y envió Hiram en ellos á sus siervos, marineros y diestros en la mar, con los siervos de Salomón:
28 They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
28 Los cuales fueron á Ophir, y tomaron de allí oro, cuatrocientos y veinte talentos, y trajéronlo al rey Salomón.
