WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Luego Salomón convocó en Jerusalén a todos los ancianos de Israel, los jefes de las tribus y clanes para que presenciaran el acto del traslado del cofre del pacto del Señor desde el santuario en Sion, la ciudad de David.
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
2 Esta celebración ocurrió en la fiesta de las Enramadas, en el mes de etanim, que es el mes séptimo.
2 All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Durante la festividad, los sacerdotes, en presencia de todos los ancianos de Israel, llevaron el cofre, junto con todos los utensilios sagrados que anteriormente habían estado en el santuario.
3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.
4 Not in this translation
4 They brought up Yahweh’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.
5 El rey Salomón y toda la gente se reunieron ante el cofre y sacrificaron una cantidad incontable de ovejas y bueyes.
5 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
6 Entonces los sacerdotes llevaron el cofre y lo introdujeron en el santuario interior del templo, es decir, en el Lugar Santísimo, y lo colocaron debajo de las alas de los querubines.
6 The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.
7 Los querubines habían sido construidos de tal manera que sus alas se extendían por sobre el punto en que se colocaría el cofre; así que ahora sus alas cubrían el cofre y las varas que servían para trasladarlo.
7 For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
8 Las varas eran tan largas que sus puntas podían verse desde el Lugar Santo, que se hallaba frente al Lugar Santísimo, pero no se podían ver desde fuera. Y ahí están hasta hoy.
8 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.
9 Nada había en el cofre en aquel tiempo, salvo las dos tablas de piedra que Moisés había colocado allí en el monte Horeb, cuando el Señor hizo su pacto con el pueblo de Israel después que salieron de Egipto.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Y cuando los sacerdotes salieron del Lugar Santo, una nube brillante llenó el templo del Señor.
10 It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house,
11 Debido a la nube, los sacerdotes no pudieron quedarse para celebrar el culto, pues la gloria del Señor llenaba todo el templo.
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.
12 Entonces el rey Salomón oró diciendo: «Señor, tú dijiste que vivirías en la oscuridad más densa; pero, Señor, yo te he edificado esta hermosa casa, para que vivas en ella para siempre».
12 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Not in this translation
13 I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
14 Entonces el rey se dio vuelta y, mirando al pueblo que estaba parado delante de él, lo bendijo, diciendo:
14 The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 «Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, que ha cumplido hoy lo que prometió a mi padre David.
15 He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Porque le dijo: “Cuando saqué a mi pueblo de Egipto, no escogí ninguna ciudad de las tribus de Israel para que allí se me construyera una casa, pero elegí a un hombre para que gobernara a mi pueblo”.
16 ‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
17 Este hombre fue mi padre David. Él quería edificar una casa para el Señor, Dios de Israel,
17 “Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
18 pero el Señor no se lo permitió. El Señor le dijo: “Me complace que quieras construirme una casa, pero
18 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.
19 no serás tú quien lo haga, sino tu hijo”.
19 Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
20 Y ahora el Señor ha cumplido su palabra, porque he sucedido a mi padre como rey de Israel, y ya he edificado el templo del Señor, Dios de Israel.
20 Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
21 He preparado un lugar allí para el cofre que contiene el pacto hecho por el Señor con nuestros padres, cuando los sacó de Egipto».
21 There I have set a place for the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
22 Mientras todo el pueblo observaba, Salomón se paró delante del altar del Señor con las manos extendidas hacia el cielo y dijo: «Señor, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como tú en el cielo ni en la tierra, porque tú eres amoroso y misericordioso, y guardas las promesas hechas a tu pueblo, si hace tu voluntad.
22 Solomon stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;
23 Not in this translation
23 and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
24 Hoy tú has cumplido la promesa hecha a mi padre David, que era tu siervo.
24 who has 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.
25 »Ahora, Señor, Dios de Israel, cumple la otra promesa hecha a él, cuando le dijiste: “Si tus descendientes andan en todos mis caminos y hacen mi voluntad, jamás dejará de sentarse uno de ellos en el trono de Israel”.
25 Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’
26 Sí, Dios de Israel, cumple esta promesa también.
26 “Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 »Pero, ¿es posible que Dios pueda vivir en la tierra? Si los cielos, los cielos de los cielos, no te pueden contener, mucho menos este templo que yo he edificado.
27 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
28 Sin embargo, Dios mío, has oído y contestado mi petición.
28 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;
29 Te ruego que estén tus ojos abiertos de noche y de día sobre esta casa, sobre este lugar en el que has prometido habitar, y cuando yo mire hacia este templo y ore, sea de noche o de día, escúchame y responde a mis peticiones.
29 that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
30 Escucha las peticiones del pueblo de Israel cuando quiera que ellos se dirijan a este lugar para orar. Sí, escucha en los cielos donde vives; y cuando hayas oído, perdónanos.
30 Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
31 »Si un hombre es acusado de hacer un mal, y entonces, de pie aquí, delante de tu altar, jura que él no lo hizo,
31 “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,
32 óyelo en los cielos y haz lo que es justo; condénalo, si es culpable o justifícalo, si no lo es.
32 then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 »Y cuando tu pueblo peque y sus enemigos lo derroten, óyelos desde los cielos y perdónalos, si ellos se convierten a ti nuevamente y confiesan que tú eres su Dios. Hazlos volver a esta tierra que les diste a sus padres.
33 “When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,
34 Not in this translation
34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 »Y cuando los cielos se cierren y no haya lluvia, por causa de los pecados de tu pueblo, óyelos desde los cielos, y perdónalos cuando ellos oren en este lugar y confiesen tu nombre. Después que los hayas castigado, ayúdalos para que sigan los buenos caminos en los que debieron haber andado y envía la lluvia sobre la tierra que les has dado.
35 “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,
36 Not in this translation
36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of 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.
37 »Y si hay hambre en la tierra, causada por peste, por langosta, o por gusanos, o si los enemigos de Israel ponen sitio a una de sus ciudades y el pueblo es atacado por una epidemia o plaga —o cualquiera que sea el problema—,
37 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
38 cuando el pueblo reconozca su pecado y ore en este templo,
38 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house,
39 escúchalos desde los cielos, perdónalos y responde en favor de todos los que hayan hecho una confesión sincera; porque tú conoces cada corazón.
39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);
40 De esta manera aprenderán a reverenciarte, mientras continúan viviendo en esta tierra que les diste a sus padres.
40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 »Y cuando los extranjeros oigan de tu gran nombre y vengan de tierras distantes a adorarte (porque oirán de tu gran nombre y de tus poderosas señales), y oren en este templo,
41 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake
42 Not in this translation
42 (for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,
43 óyelos desde los cielos y responde a sus oraciones. Así, todas las naciones de la tierra conocerán y temerán tu nombre, como tu propio pueblo Israel lo hace, y toda la tierra sabrá que este es tu templo.
43 hear in heaven, 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, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
44 »Cuando envíes a tu pueblo a la batalla contra sus enemigos, y ellos oren a ti mirando hacia tu ciudad escogida de Jerusalén y hacia este templo que he edificado en tu honor,
44 “If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,
45 escucha sus oraciones y ayúdalos.
45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 »Si pecan contra ti, ¿porque quién no peca?, y tú te enojas con ellos, y dejas que sus enemigos los lleven cautivos a tierras extrañas, cercanas o lejanas,
46 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 the land of the enemy, far off or near;
47 y ellos se dan cuenta de lo que han hecho y se vuelven a ti y claman diciendo: “Hemos pecado, hemos hecho mal”,
47 yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’
48 si ellos realmente se vuelven hacia ti, y oran hacia esta tierra que tú has dado a sus padres, y hacia esta ciudad de Jerusalén que tú has escogido, y hacia este templo que yo edifiqué a tu nombre,
48 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
49 escucha sus oraciones y ruegos desde los cielos donde habitas, y acude en su ayuda.
49 then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
50 Perdona a tu pueblo todas las malas acciones que realicen, y haz que sus captores tengan misericordia de ellos;
50 and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 porque son tu pueblo, la herencia especial que sacaste del horno de Egipto.
51 (for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);
52 »Que tus ojos estén abiertos y tus oídos atentos a las oraciones que ellos hagan. Señor, escucha y responde siempre que ellos clamen a ti,
52 that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
53 porque cuando tú sacaste a nuestros padres de la tierra de Egipto, dijiste a tu siervo Moisés que habías escogido a Israel, de entre todas las naciones de la tierra, para que fuera tu pueblo especial».
53 For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”
54 Salomón había estado arrodillado, con las manos extendidas hacia los cielos. Cuando terminó de orar, se levantó delante del altar del Señor, y pronunció esta bendición sobre todo el pueblo de Israel:
54 It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before Yahweh’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.
55 Not in this translation
55 He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 «Bendito sea el Señor, que ha cumplido su promesa y ha dado reposo a su pueblo Israel; ni una palabra ha dejado de cumplir de todas las maravillosas promesas dadas por su siervo Moisés.
56 “Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 Que el Señor nuestro Dios esté con nosotros, como estuvo con nuestros padres; que jamás nos abandone.
57 May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,
58 Que él nos dé el deseo de hacer su voluntad en todo y de obedecer todos los mandamientos e instrucciones que dio a nuestros antepasados.
58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Y que estas palabras de mi oración estén continuamente delante de él, día y noche, para que nos ayude a mí y a todo Israel, de acuerdo con nuestras necesidades diarias.
59 Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;
60 Que el pueblo de toda la tierra sepa que el Señor es Dios, y que no hay otro Dios.
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh himself is God. There is no one else.
61 Y ustedes, pueblo mío, vivan vidas buenas y perfectas delante del Señor nuestro Dios. Obedezcan siempre su ley y sus mandamientos, de la forma que hoy lo están haciendo».
61 “Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”
62 Entonces el rey y todo el pueblo dedicaron el templo del Señor, ofreciendo sacrificios de paz delante del Señor. En total ofrecieron veintidós mil bueyes y ciento veinte mil ovejas.
62 The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.
63 Not in this translation
63 Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated Yahweh’s house.
64 Como una medida provisoria, para los holocaustos, para las ofrendas de grano, y para la grasa de las ofrendas de paz, el rey santificó el atrio que está frente a el templo del Señor, porque el altar de bronce era demasiado pequeño para todo lo que había que sacrificar.
64 The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 La celebración duró inicialmente siete días, pero luego la extendieron por otros siete días, así que fueron catorce días de fiesta. Fueron muchos los israelitas que se reunieron, pues de todas partes, desde Lebó Jamat hasta el río de Egipto, acudieron a la fiesta.
65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.
66 Después Salomón despidió al pueblo. Todos bendijeron al rey Salomón y regresaron felices a sus casas, por la misericordia que el Señor había tenido con su siervo David y con su pueblo Israel.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

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.
