WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Siete meses después de haber regresado a Judá, se reunieron todos en Jerusalén. Para ese entonces ya todos estaban ubicados en sus ciudades.
1 When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Entonces Jesúa hijo de Josadac, junto con sus parientes, que eran sacerdotes, y Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel y su clan, comenzaron a construir el altar del Dios de Israel. Lo hicieron para poder ofrecer holocaustos, conforme a las leyes de Moisés, el siervo de Dios.
2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 El altar fue reedificado en su antiguo sitio, a pesar del miedo que tenían de la gente de los pueblos vecinos, y ofrecieron sacrificios al Señor, por la mañana y por la tarde.
3 In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 Luego celebraron la fiesta de las Enramadas, en la forma prescrita en las leyes de Moisés. También, ofrecieron los holocaustos que el reglamento requería para cada día de la fiesta.
4 They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 Además ofrecieron los sacrificios continuos que se requerían para los días de reposo, los de la celebración de la luna nueva, y los de las otras fiestas en honor del Señor, que debían celebrarse una vez al año. Asimismo ofrecieron las ofrendas voluntarias que llevaba el pueblo.
5 and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of Yahweh that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering to Yahweh.
6 Así que, desde el primer día del séptimo mes, comenzaron a ofrecer holocaustos al Señor. Para esa fecha aún no se habían echado los cimientos del templo.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh; but the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was not yet laid.
7 Luego contrataron albañiles y carpinteros, y compraron madera de cedro de Tiro y Sidón, lo que pagaron con alimentos, vino y aceite de oliva. La madera de cedro la llevaban desde el Líbano y por el mar hasta Jope, tal como lo había ordenado el rey Ciro, de Persia.
7 They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
8 La construcción comenzó en el segundo mes del segundo año de su llegada a Jerusalén. Trabajaban todos los que habían regresado y estaban bajo la dirección de Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel, de Jesúa hijo de Josadac, y de los sacerdotes y levitas. Los levitas que tenían más de veinte años tenían a su cargo la supervisión de la obra.
8 Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of Yahweh’s house.
9 Así que los levitas Jesúa, junto con sus hijos y hermanos, Cadmiel y sus hijos, que eran descendientes de Hodavías, y los de la familia de Henadad, se pusieron al frente de la obra, para supervisar a los obreros que estaban trabajando en el templo de Dios.
9 Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 Cuando se completó la construcción de los cimientos, los sacerdotes, vestidos con sus túnicas sacerdotales, hicieron sonar las trompetas, y los descendientes de Asaf hicieron sonar sus címbalos, para alabar al Señor de la manera ordenada por el rey David.
10 When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 Cantaban y alababan a Dios dando gracias, y entonaban esta canción: «Dios es bueno, porque para siempre es su misericordia con Israel». Entonces todo el pueblo gritó con gran júbilo y alabó al Señor, porque se habían echado los cimientos del templo.
11 They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house had been laid.
12 Pero muchos de los sacerdotes, levitas y demás dirigentes, que ya eran ancianos y recordaban el hermoso templo de Salomón, lloraban en alta voz, mientras los otros gritaban de gozo.
12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 Los gritos de alegría y los llantos se confundían, y se oían desde muy lejos.
13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
