WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Entonces Salomón exclamó: «Señor, tú dijiste que vivirías en una nube oscura;

1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 ¡pero yo he hecho un templo para ti, Señor, para que vivas en él para siempre!».

2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

3 Luego el rey volvió el rostro hacia la congregación, que permanecía de pie para recibir su bendición. El rey dijo:

3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

4 «Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, que le habló a mi padre David, y que acaba de cumplir la promesa que le hizo al decir:

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 “Desde que traje a mi pueblo desde la tierra de Egipto, nunca había escogido una ciudad en Israel para la ubicación de un templo en el cual estuviera mi nombre; y nunca antes había elegido un guía para mi pueblo Israel. Pero ahora he escogido a Jerusalén para residir en ella, y a David como rey”.

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 Not in this translation

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 »Mi padre David deseaba construir un templo para el Señor, 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 pero el Señor le dijo: “Tu deseo de construirme una casa para honrarme es bueno,

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 pero no serás tú quien me la construya. Será uno de tus hijos el que me edifique una casa para honrar 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 »Y el Señor ha cumplido lo que había prometido, porque he llegado a ser rey como sucesor de mi padre, y he podido construir el templo para el Señor 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 y en su interior he colocado el cofre. Y en el cofre se encuentra el pacto entre el Señor y el pueblo de Israel».

11 There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”

12 Mientras hablaba, Salomón estaba de pie delante del pueblo sobre una plataforma en el centro del atrio exterior, frente al altar del Señor. La plataforma estaba hecha de bronce, y era de dos metros con veinte centímetros por cada lado, y un metro con treinta centímetros de alto. Luego, mientras la gente lo observaba, Salomón se arrodilló, levantó los brazos hacia el cielo, y elevó esta oración:

12 He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 Not in this translation

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 «Señor, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como tú en todo el cielo y la tierra. Tú cumples tus bondadosas promesas a todos los que te obedecen y están dispuestos a hacer tu voluntad.

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 Tú has cumplido la promesa que hiciste a mi padre David, y aquí tenemos la evidencia de su cumplimiento.

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 »Ahora, Dios de Israel, cumple también la otra promesa que le hiciste a mi padre, cuando le dijiste: “Si tus descendientes obedecen mis leyes, como tú lo has hecho, te prometo que siempre habrá un descendiente tuyo que ocupe el trono de Israel”.

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 Señor, Dios de Israel, te ruego que cumplas también esta promesa.

17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

18 »Pero, ¿vivirá realmente Dios en la tierra con los hombres? Si aun el cielo, y el cielo de los cielos no pueden contener tu grandeza, ¡cuánto menos este templo que yo he construido!

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 ¡Acepta mis oraciones y súplicas, Señor, mi Dios! ¡Escucha la oración que hoy dirijo a 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 Mira favorablemente este templo día y noche, este lugar sagrado donde dijiste que pondrías tu nombre. Te ruego que oigas y contestes las oraciones que siempre elevaré a ti al estar frente a este lugar. Escucha mis oraciones y las de tu pueblo, Israel, siempre que oremos vueltos hacia este lugar de tu morada; sí, óyenos desde el cielo, y cuando escuches, danos el perdón.

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 Not in this translation

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 »Cuando alguien cometa un delito contra su prójimo, y se le pida que jure su inocencia delante de este altar,

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 te pedimos que oigas desde el cielo y lo castigues en caso de que esté mintiendo, y que de lo contrario, lo declares inocente.

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 »Si tu pueblo Israel es derrotado por sus enemigos, por haber pecado contra ti, y se vuelven a ti, y proclaman que son pueblo tuyo, y oran en este templo,

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 escúchalos desde el cielo y perdónales sus pecados y devuélveles esta tierra que diste a 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 »Cuando los cielos se cierren y no haya lluvia debido a nuestros pecados, si luego oramos hacia este lugar, confesándote nuestros pecados y pidiéndote perdón por ellos,

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 por favor, escúchanos desde el cielo y perdona los pecados de tus siervos y de tu pueblo, y enséñales lo recto, y envía lluvias sobre esta tierra que has dado a tu pueblo como de su exclusiva propiedad.

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 »Si hay hambre en la tierra, o epidemias, o plagas que afecten los productos agrícolas, o invasiones de langostas o de gusanos, o si los enemigos de tu pueblo están en la tierra asediando nuestras ciudades, cualesquiera que sean las dificultades,

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 escucha la oración que cada israelita, en medio de su dolor, te haga reconociendo su pecado, y extendiendo sus manos hacia este templo.

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 Oye desde el cielo donde tú vives, y perdona, y da a cada uno lo que realmente merece, porque sólo tú conoces los pensamientos del ser humano.

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 Así todos te adorarán y servirán, y estarán dispuestos a vivir según tu voluntad todos los días que habiten en la tierra que les diste a nuestros antepasados.

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 »Y cuando haya extranjeros que al oír hablar de tu poder, vengan desde tierras distantes a adorar tu grandioso nombre, y a orar en este templo,

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 óyelos desde el cielo donde tú vives, y concédeles lo que te pidan. Así todos los pueblos de la tierra se enterarán de tu fama y te reverenciarán como lo hace tu pueblo Israel; y sabrán que este templo lo he construido para honrar tu nombre.

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 »Si tu pueblo sale bajo tu mando a pelear contra sus enemigos, y oran en dirección de esta ciudad de Jerusalén que tú has elegido, y de este templo que hemos construido a 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 oye sus oraciones desde el cielo y dales la victoria.

35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 »Y si ellos pecan contra ti (porque, ¿quién es aquel que nunca ha pecado?), y te enojas con ellos, y dejas que sus enemigos los derroten y se los lleven de aquí cautivos a alguna nación extranjera, cercana o lejana,

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 si en el destierro se vuelven a ti otra vez, y si en su corazón se tornan hacia esta tierra que tú diste a sus padres, y a esta ciudad y al templo que yo te he construido, y te suplican con todo su corazón que los perdones,

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 Not in this translation

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 óyelos desde el cielo donde vives y ayúdalos, y perdona a tu pueblo que ha pecado 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 »Dios mío, te pido que estés vigilante y atento a todas las oraciones dirigidas a ti 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 Y ahora, Señor Dios, levántate y entra en este lugar de descanso que es tuyo, donde ha sido colocado el cofre de tu poder. Haz que tus sacerdotes, Señor Dios, sean revestidos de salvación, y haz que tus santos se regocijen en tus bondadosas proezas.

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 Señor Dios, no te desentiendas de mí; no apartes tu rostro de mí, que soy tu ungido. Señor, recuerda tu amor por David y tu benevolencia hacia él».

42 “Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
