WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
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.
1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
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.
2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
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.
3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
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:
4 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
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.
5 ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people 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.
6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people 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.
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of 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.
8 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
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.
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
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.
10 “Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of 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.
11 There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with the children of 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.
12 He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
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:
13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven).
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;
14 Then he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
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.
15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
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.
16 “Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
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.
17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant 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?
18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
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.
19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
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.
20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.
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.
21 Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
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,
22 “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
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.
23 then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
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,
24 “If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,
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.
25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
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,
26 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
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.
27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
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;
28 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—
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,
29 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward this house,
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;)
30 then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),
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.
31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
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,
32 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,
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.
33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
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,
34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
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.
35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
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,
36 “If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
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;
37 yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’
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;
38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
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.
39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
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.
40 “Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
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.
41 “Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
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.
42 “Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But that it belongs to God only to know men's secrets, hear what saith the prophet, "Thou most entirely alone knowest the hearts;" and again, "God trieth the hearts and reins; " and Jeremiah too saith, "The heart is deep above all things, and it is man, and who shall know him?" and, "Man shall look on the face, but …
