1 Kings 9

1 Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

Sucedió que cuando Salomón acabó la obra de la Casa de Yavé, de la casa real y todo lo que deseaba hacer,

2 The Lord came to him again in a vision, as he had done at Gibeon;

Yavé se apareció a Salomón por segunda vez, como se le apareció en Gabaón.

3 And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

Yavé le dijo: Escuché tu oración y tu súplica que hiciste ante Mí. Yo santifiqué esta Casa que tú edificaste a fin de poner mi Nombre en ella para siempre. Mis ojos y mi corazón estarán allí todos los días.

4 As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

Con respecto a ti, si andas delante de Mí como tu padre David anduvo con integridad de corazón y rectitud, haces conforme a todo lo que te mandé y guardas mis Estatutos y mis Preceptos,

5 Then I will make the seat of your rule over Israel certain for ever, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

Yo afirmaré el trono de tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, como hablé a tu padre David: No te faltará varón sobre el trono de Israel.

6 But if you are turned from my ways, you or your children, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods and give them worship:

Pero si ustedes y sus hijos se apartan de Mí con obstinación, no guardan mis Mandamientos y mis Estatutos que puse delante de ustedes, van y sirven a otros ʼelohim y se postran ante ellos,

7 Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

entonces cortaré a Israel de sobre la superficie de la tierra que les di, apartaré mi Presencia de la Casa que santifiqué a mi Nombre, e Israel servirá de refrán y escarnio entre todas las naciones.

8 And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

Todo el que pase por esta Casa sublime, se asombrará, se burlará y preguntará: ¿Por qué Yavé hizo esto a esta tierra y a esta Casa?

9 And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

Responderán: Porque abandonaron a Yavé su ʼElohim, Quien sacó a sus antepasados de la tierra de Egipto, se aferraron a otros ʼelohim, se postraron ante ellos y les sirvieron. Por eso Yavé trajo sobre ellos todo este mal.

10 Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

Aconteció que después de 20 años, durante los cuales Salomón edificó las dos casas: la Casa de Yavé y la casa real,

11 (Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of, ) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.

para las cuales Hiram, rey de Tiro, proporcionó a Salomón madera de cedro y ciprés y oro, conforme a todo su deseo, el rey Salomón dio a Hiram 20 ciudades en [la] tierra de Galilea.

12 But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

Pero cuando Hiram salió de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le dio, no le agradaron,

13 And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.

y dijo: ¿[Qué clase] de ciudades son éstas que me diste, hermano? Y las llamó la tierra de Cabul, nombre que tienen hasta hoy.

14 And Hiram sent the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

Hiram había enviado al rey cuatro toneladas de oro.

15 Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer. ...

La razón de la recluta que el rey Salomón impuso fue ésta: Edificar la Casa de Yavé, su propia casa, el muro de Jerusalén, Hazor, Meguido y Gezer.

16 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife. ...

Pues Faraón, rey de Egipto, subió y tomó Gezer, la incendió, mató a los cananeos que vivían en la ciudad y la dio como dote matrimonial a su hija, esposa de Salomón.

17 ... and Solomon was the builder of Gezer and Beth-horon the lower,

Salomón reedificó Gezer, Bet-horón de abajo,

18 And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;

Baalat y Tadmor, en la región despoblada del país,

19 And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

y todas las ciudades de almacenaje que tenía Salomón, las ciudades para los carruajes de guerra, las ciudades para los jinetes, y todo lo que Salomón se propuso edificar en Jerusalén, en el Líbano y en toda la tierra de su dominio.

20 As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

A todo el pueblo que quedó de los amorreos, heteos, ferezeos, heveos y jebuseos, que no eran de los hijos de Israel,

21 Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.

sino descendientes de aquéllos, que quedaron después de ellos en la tierra, a quienes los hijos de Israel no pudieron exterminar, Salomón los sometió a trabajos forzados hasta hoy.

22 But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.

Pero Salomón no sometió a trabajos forzados a los hijos de Israel, porque ellos eran sus hombres de guerra, esclavos, oficiales, comandantes y capitanes de carruajes y jinetes.

23 These were the chiefs of the overseers of Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, in authority over the people who did the work.

Los jefes de los oficiales que Salomón tenía sobre la obra eran 550, quienes daban órdenes a la gente que hacía la obra.

24 At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.

Tan pronto como la hija del Faraón salió de la Ciudad de David a la casa que Salomón le construyó, él edificó el muro.

25 Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

Tres veces al año Salomón ofrecía holocaustos y sacrificios de paz sobre el altar que edificó a Yavé. Cuando terminó la Casa, quemó incienso delante de Yavé.

26 And King Solomon made a sea-force of ships in Ezion-geber, by Eloth, on the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

El rey Salomón también construyó una flota en Ezión-geber, que está junto a Eilat, a orillas del mar Rojo, en la tierra de Edom.

27 Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

Hiram envió en la flota a sus esclavos, marineros y conocedores del mar, con los esclavos de Salomón,

28 And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

quienes fueron a Ofir. Tomaron de allí 14 toneladas de oro que llevaron al rey Salomón.
