WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Los profetas Hageo y Zacarías hijo de Idó le dieron a la gente de Judá y de Jerusalén un mensaje de parte del Dios de Israel, que era quien protegía a su pueblo.
1 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied to them in the name of the God of Israel.
2 Cuando Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel y Jesúa hijo de Josadac oyeron el mensaje, decidieron reiniciar la reconstrucción del templo de Dios en Jerusalén. Y los profetas Hageo y Zacarías los ayudaban.
2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
3 Entonces Tatenay, gobernador de la región al occidente del Éufrates, y Setar Bosnay y sus compañeros, fueron a Jerusalén y preguntaron: «¿Quién les dio permiso para reedificar este templo y restaurar las murallas?».
3 At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, came to them, with Shetharbozenai and their companions, and asked them, “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
4 Pidieron además los nombres de los que estaban trabajando en ello.
4 They also asked for the names of the men who were making this building.
5 Pero como Dios protegía a los jefes del pueblo judío, los enemigos les permitieron continuar los trabajos hasta que llegara la respuesta del rey Darío, a quien se le consultaría sobre el asunto.
5 But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
6 De modo que Tatenay, gobernador de la región al occidente del Éufrates, y Setar Bosnay y sus compañeros, y los demás funcionarios enviaron la siguiente carta al rey Darío:
6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king follows.
7 Saludamos al rey Darío, y le deseamos paz.
7 They sent a letter to him, in which was written: To Darius the king, all peace.
8 Queremos informarle que fuimos al templo del gran Dios, y descubrimos que está siendo reconstruido con grandes piedras. Además vimos que se están colocando maderas en las murallas de la ciudad. La obra está avanzando con gran rapidez y éxito.
8 Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with great stones and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
9 Preguntamos a los dirigentes: ¿Quién les dio permiso para hacer esto?
9 Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, “Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”
10 Pedimos, además, los nombres a fin de notificárselo a usted.
10 We asked them their names also, to inform you that we might write the names of the men who were at their head.
11 Ellos nos respondieron: «Somos siervos del Dios del cielo y la tierra, y estamos reedificando su templo que fue construido hace muchos siglos por un gran rey de Israel.
11 Thus they returned us answer, saying, “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
12 Pero después nuestros antepasados hicieron enojar al Dios del cielo, y él los entregó en las manos de Nabucodonosor, quien lo destruyó y se llevó cautivo al pueblo a Babilonia.
12 But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.
13 »Ellos insisten en que el rey Ciro, de Babilonia, durante el primer año de su reinado, emitió un decreto en el cual autorizaba reconstruirlo.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
14 Dicen, además, que el rey Ciro devolvió los utensilios de oro y plata que Nabucodonosor se había llevado del templo de Jerusalén, y los colocó en el templo de Babilonia. Dicen que estos utensilios fueron entregados al cuidado de un hombre llamado Sesbasar, a quien el rey Ciro nombró gobernador de Judá.
14 The gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
15 Que el rey dio órdenes de devolver los utensilios a Jerusalén, y dejar que el templo de Dios fuera reconstruido en su sitio.
15 He said to him, ‘Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place.’
16 Entonces Sesbasar vino y echó los cimientos del templo en Jerusalén. El pueblo ha estado trabajando en ello desde entonces, pero aún no han terminado.
16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of God’s house which is in Jerusalem. Since that time even until now it has been being built, and yet it is not completed.
17 Si Su Majestad está de acuerdo, le pedimos que ordene investigar en la tesorería real de Babilonia si es verdad que el rey Ciro promulgó ese decreto. Le rogamos que nos haga saber entonces cuál es su decisión en este asunto».
17 Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.”
