RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

1 ENTONCES dijo Salomón: Jehová ha dicho que él habitaría en la oscuridad.

2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

2 Yo pues he edificado una casa de morada para ti, y una habitación en que mores para siempre.

3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

3 Y volviendo el rey su rostro, bendijo á toda la congregación de Israel: y toda la congregación de Israel estaba en pie.

4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,

4 Y él dijo: Bendito sea Jehová Dios de Israel, el cual con su mano ha cumplido lo que habló por su boca á David mi padre, diciendo:

5 From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;

5 Desde el día que saqué mi pueblo de la tierra de Egipto, ninguna ciudad he elegido de todas las tribus de Israel para edificar casa donde estuviese mi nombre, ni he escogido varón que fuese príncipe sobre mi pueblo Israel.

6 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

6 Mas á Jerusalem he elegido para que en ella esté mi nombre, y á David he elegido para que fuese sobre mi pueblo Israel.

7 And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,

7 Y David mi padre tuvo en el corazón edificar casa al nombre de Jehová Dios de Israel.

8 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart,

8 Mas Jehová dijo á David mi padre: Respecto á haber tenido en tu corazón edificar casa á mi nombre, bien has hecho en haber tenido esto en tu corazón.

9 but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.

9 Empero tú no edificarás la casa, sino tu hijo que saldrá de tus lomos, él edificará casa á mi nombre.

10 And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,

10 Y Jehová ha cumplido su palabra que había dicho; pues levantéme yo en lugar de David mi padre, y heme sentado en el trono de Israel, como Jehová había dicho, y he edificado casa al nombre de Jehová Dios de Israel.

11 and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”

11 Y en ella he puesto el arca, en la cual está el pacto de Jehová que concertó con los hijos de Israel.

12 And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

12 Púsose luego [Salomón] delante del altar de Jehová, en presencia de toda la congregación de Israel, y extendió sus manos.

13 for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—

13 Porque Salomón había hecho un púlpito de metal, de cinco codos de largo, y de cinco codos de ancho, y de altura de tres codos, y lo había puesto en medio del atrio: y púsose sobre él, é hincóse de rodillas delante de toda la congregación de Israel, y extendiendo sus manos al cielo, dijo:

14 and says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;

14 Jehová Dios de Israel, no hay Dios semejante á ti en el cielo ni en la tierra, que guardas el pacto y la misericordia á tus siervos que caminan delante de ti de todo su corazón;

15 who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at this day.

15 Que has guardado á tu siervo David mi padre lo que le dijiste: tú lo dijiste de tu boca, mas con tu mano lo has cumplido, como [parece] este día.

16 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked before Me.

16 Ahora pues, Jehová Dios de Israel, guarda á tu siervo David mi padre lo que le has prometido, diciendo: No faltará de ti varón delante de mí, que se siente en el trono de Israel, á condición que tus hijos guarden su camino, andando en mi ley, como tú delante de mí has andado.

17 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to David.

17 Ahora pues, oh Jehová Dios de Israel, verifíquese tu palabra que dijiste á tu siervo David.

18 For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?

18 Mas ¿es verdad que Dios ha de habitar con el hombre en la tierra? He aquí, los cielos y los cielos de los cielos no pueden contenerte: ¿cuánto menos esta casa que he edificado?

19 And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,

19 Mas tú mirarás á la oración de tu siervo, y á su ruego, oh Jehová Dios mío, para oir el clamor y la oración con que tu siervo ora delante de ti.

20 for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

20 Que tus ojos estén abiertos sobre esta casa de día y de noche, sobre el lugar del cual dijiste, Mi nombre estará allí; que oigas la oración con que tu siervo ora en este lugar.

21 And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

21 Asimismo que oigas el ruego de tu siervo, y de tu pueblo Israel, cuando en este lugar hicieren oración, que tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada: que oigas y perdones.

22 If a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your altar in this house—

22 Si alguno pecare contra su prójimo, y él le pidiere juramento haciéndole jurar, y el juramento viniere delante de tu altar en esta casa,

23 then You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.

23 Tú oirás desde los cielos, y obrarás, y juzgarás á tus siervos, dando la paga al impío, tornándole su proceder sobre su cabeza, y justificando al justo en darle conforme á su justicia.

24 And if Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house—

24 Si tu pueblo Israel cayere delante de los enemigos, por haber prevaricado contra ti, y se convirtieren, y confesaren tu nombre, y rogaren delante de ti en esta casa,

25 then You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given to them, and to their fathers.

25 Tú oirás desde los cielos, y perdonarás el pecado de tu pueblo Israel, y los volverás á la tierra que diste á ellos y á sus padres.

26 In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You afflict them—

26 Si los cielos se cerraren, que no haya lluvias por haber pecado contra ti, si oraren á ti en este lugar, y confesaren tu nombre, y se convirtieren de sus pecados, cuando los afligieres,

27 then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

27 Tú [los] oirás en los cielos, y perdonarás el pecado de tus siervos y de tu pueblo Israel, y les enseñarás el buen camino para que anden en él, y darás lluvia sobre tu tierra, la cual diste por heredad á tu pueblo.

28 Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

28 Y si hubiere hambre en la tierra, ó si hubiere pestilencia, si hubiere tizoncillo ó añublo, langosta ó pulgón; ó si los cercaren sus enemigos en la tierra de su domicilio; cualquiera plaga ó enfermedad que sea;

29 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out his hands toward this house—

29 Toda oración y todo ruego que hiciere cualquier hombre, ó todo tu pueblo Israel, cualquiera que conociere su llaga y su dolor en su corazón, si extendiere sus manos á esta casa,

30 then You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),

30 Tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu habitación, y perdonarás, y darás á cada uno conforme á sus caminos, habiendo conocido su corazón; (porque solo tú conoces el corazón de los hijos de los hombres;)

31 so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.

31 Para que te teman y anden en tus caminos, todos los días que vivieren sobre la haz de la tierra que tú diste á nuestros padres.

32 And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—

32 Y también al extranjero que no fuere de tu pueblo Israel, que hubiere venido de lejanas tierras á causa de tu grande nombre, y de tu mano fuerte, y de tu brazo extendido, si vinieren, y oraren en esta casa,

33 then You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.

33 Tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, y harás conforme á todas las cosas por las cuales hubiere clamado á ti el extranjero; para que todos los pueblos de la tierra conozcan tu nombre, y te teman como tu pueblo Israel, y sepan que tu nombre es invocado sobre esta casa que he edificado yo.

34 When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—

34 Si tu pueblo saliere á la guerra contra sus enemigos por el camino que tú los enviares, y oraren á ti hacia esta ciudad que tú elegiste, hacia la casa que he edificado á tu nombre,

35 then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

35 Tú oirás desde los cielos su oración y su ruego, y ampararás su derecho.

36 When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to a land far off or near;

36 Si pecaren contra ti, (pues no hay hombre que no peque,) y te airares contra ellos, y los entregares delante de sus enemigos, para que los que los tomaren los lleven cautivos á tierra de enemigos, lejos ó cerca,

37 and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;

37 Y ellos volvieren en sí en la tierra donde fueren llevados cautivos; si se convirtieren, y oraren á ti en la tierra de su cautividad, y dijeren: Pecamos, hemos hecho inicuamente, impíamente hemos obrado;

38 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your Name—

38 Si se convirtieren á ti de todo su corazón y de toda su alma en la tierra de su cautividad, donde los hubieren llevado cautivos, y oraren hacia su tierra que tú diste á sus padres, hacia la ciudad que tu elegiste, y hacia la casa que he edificado á tu nombre;

39 then You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.

39 Tú oirás desde los cielos, desde el lugar de tu morada, su oración y su ruego, y ampararás su causa, y perdonarás á tu pueblo que pecó contra ti.

40 Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

40 Ahora pues, oh Dios mío, ruégote estén abiertos tus ojos, y atentos tus oídos á la oración en este lugar.

41 And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

41 Oh Jehová Dios, levántate ahora para [habitar en] tu reposo, tú y el arca de tu fortaleza; sean, oh Jehová Dios, vestidos de salud tus sacerdotes, y gocen de bien tus santos.

42 O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”

42 Jehová Dios, no hagas volver el rostro de tu ungido: acuérdate de las misericordias de David tu siervo.
