WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Entonces los profetas Hageo y Zacarías, hijo de Iddo, profetizaron a los judíos que estaban en Judá y Jerusalén en Nombre del ʼElohim de Israel, Quien estaba con ellos.
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 En ese tiempo se levantaron Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, y Jesuá, hijo de Josadac. Comenzaron a reedificar la Casa de ʼElah que estaba en Jerusalén. Los profetas de ʼElohim los apoyaban y estaban con ellos.
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 Pero al mismo tiempo Tatnai, gobernador de Mas Allá del Río Éufrates, Setar-boznai y sus compañeros se presentaron ante ellos y les preguntaron: ¿Quién les dio orden para construir este Templo y terminar este muro?
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 También les preguntaron cuáles eran los nombres de los hombres que reconstruyen este edificio.
4 They also asked for the names of the men who were making this building.
5 Pero la mirada de ʼElohim estaba sobre los ancianos de los judíos, y no los obligaron a interrumpir el trabajo hasta que el asunto fuera al [rey] Darío y éste diera instrucciones por carta.
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 Entonces Tatnai, gobernador de Mas Allá del Río, Setar-boznai y sus compañeros, los gobernadores de Mas Allá del Río, enviaron 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 una carta en la cual se escribió esto: Al rey Darío sea toda paz.
7 They sent a letter to him, in which was written: To Darius the king, all peace.
8 Sepa el rey que fuimos a la provincia de Judea, a la Casa del gran ʼElohim, que es construida con grandes piedras y madera en las paredes. Esta obra se ejecuta diligentemente y prospera en las manos de ellos.
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 Y preguntamos a aquellos ancianos: ¿Quién les dio orden de edificar este Templo y restaurar estos muros?
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 Les preguntamos también sus nombres para informarte los nombres de los jefes de ellos.
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 Nos respondieron: Nosotros somos esclavos del ʼElohim de los cielos y de la tierra. Reedificamos la Casa que fue construida hace muchos años, la cual un gran rey de Israel edificó.
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 que nuestros antepasados provocaron al ʼElohim de los cielos, Él los entregó en mano de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, el caldeo, quien destruyó este Templo y deportó el 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 Pero en el primer año de Ciro, rey de Babilonia, el mismo rey Ciro dio orden para que este Templo de ʼElohim fuera reconstruido.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
14 El rey Ciro sacó del templo de Babilonia los utensilios de oro y de plata del Templo de ʼElohim que Nabucodonosor sacó del Templo de Jerusalén y puso en el templo de Babilonia. Estos [utensilios] fueron entregados a uno llamado Sesbasar, a quien nombró gobernador,
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 y le dijo: Toma estos utensilios, anda y ponlos en el Templo que está en Jerusalén, y que la Casa de ʼElohim sea reconstruida en su lugar.
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 El mismo Sesbasar vino y colocó los fundamentos del Templo de ʼElohim que está en Jerusalén. Desde entonces hasta ahora estaba en construcción, aunque no está terminada.
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 Y ahora, si parece bien al rey, que se indague en la tesorería real que está allí en Babilonia, para verificar si el rey Ciro dio orden de reconstruir este Templo de ʼElohim en Jerusalén. Que se nos diga la voluntad del rey sobre esto.
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.”
