Ofrendas para el templo

Entonces el rey David dijo a toda la asamblea: Mi hijo Salomón, el único que Dios ha escogido, es aún joven y sin experienciaa, y la obra es grande; porque el templo1 no es para hombre, sino para el SEÑOR Diosb. Con toda mi habilidad he provisto para la casa de mi Dios, el oro para las cosas de oro, la plata para las cosas de plata, el bronce para las cosas de bronce, el hierro para las cosas de hierro, la madera para las cosas de madera; también piedras de ónice, piedras de engaste, piedras de antimonio, piedras de varios colores, toda clase de piedras preciosas y piedras de alabastro en abundanciaa. Y además, en mi amor por la casa de mi Dios, el tesoro que tengo de oro y de plata, lo doy a la casa de mi Dios, además de todo lo que ya he provisto para la santa casa, es decir, tres mil talentos1 de oroa, del oro de Ofirb, y siete mil talentos de plata acrisolada para revestir las paredes de los edificios2; de oro para las cosas de oro, y de plata para las cosas de plata, es decir, para toda la obra hecha por los artesanos1. ¿Quién, pues, está dispuesto a dar su ofrenda2 hoy al SEÑOR?

Entonces los jefes de las casas paternas, y los jefes de las tribus de Israel, y los jefes de millares y de centenares, con los supervisores sobre la obra del reya, ofrecieron voluntariamente sus donativosb; y para el servicio de la casa de Dios dieron cinco mil talentos y diez mil monedas1 de oroa, diez mil talentos de plata, dieciocho mil talentos de bronce y cien mil talentos de hierro. Y todos los que tenían1 piedras preciosas las dieron al tesoro de la casa del SEÑOR a cargo de2 Jehiela gersonita. Entonces el pueblo se alegró porque habían contribuido voluntariamente, porque de todo corazóna hicieron su ofrenda al SEÑOR; y también el rey David se alegró en gran manera.

10 Y bendijo David al SEÑOR en presencia de toda la asamblea. Y David dijo: Bendito eres, oh SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, nuestro padre por los siglos de los siglos. 11 Tuya es, oh SEÑOR, la grandeza y el poder y la gloria y la victoria y la majestada, en verdad, todo lo que hay en los cielos y en la tierra; tuyo es el dominio, oh SEÑOR, y tú te exaltas como soberano sobre todo. 12 De ti proceden la riqueza y el honora; tú reinas sobre todo y en tu mano están el poder y la fortalezab, y en tu mano está engrandecer y fortalecer a todos. 13 Ahora pues, Dios nuestro, te damos gracias y alabamos tu glorioso nombre. 14 Pero ¿quién soy yo y quién es mi pueblo para que podamos ofrecer1 tan generosamente todo2 esto? Porque de ti proceden todas las cosas, y de lo recibido de tu mano te damos. 15 Porque somos forasterosa y peregrinos delante de ti, como lo fueron todos nuestros padres; como una sombra son nuestros días sobre la tierrab, y no hay esperanza. 16 Oh SEÑOR, Dios nuestro, toda esta abundancia que hemos preparado para edificarte una casa para tu santo nombre procede de tu mano, y todo es tuyo. 17 Sabiendo yo, Dios mío, que tú pruebas el corazóna y te deleitas en la rectitud, yo he ofrecido voluntariamente todas estas cosas en la integridad de mi corazónb; y ahora he visto con alegría a tu pueblo, que está aquí, hacer sus ofrendas a ti voluntariamente. 18 Oh SEÑOR, Dios de nuestros padres Abraham, Isaac e Israel, preserva esto para siempre en las intenciones del corazón1 de tu pueblo, y dirige su corazón hacia ti; 19 y da a mi hijo Salomón un corazón perfecto para que guarde tus mandamientos, tus testimonios y tus estatutos, para que los cumpla todosa y edifique el templo1, para el cual he provistob. 20 Entonces David dijo a toda la asamblea: Bendecid ahora al SEÑOR vuestro Dios. Y toda la asamblea bendijo al SEÑORa, al Dios de sus padres, y se inclinaron y se postraron ante el SEÑOR y ante el reyb. 21 Y al día siguiente sacrificaron víctimas al SEÑOR y le1 ofrecieron holocaustos: mil novillos, mil carneros y mil corderos, con sus libaciones y sacrificios en abundancia por todo Israela. 22 Comieron, pues, y bebieron aquel día delante del SEÑOR con gran alegría.

Y por segunda vez proclamaron rey a Salomóna, hijo de David, y lo ungieron como príncipe para el SEÑOR, y a Sadoc como sacerdoteb. 23 Entonces Salomón se sentó en el trono del SEÑOR como rey en lugar de su padre David; prosperó y le obedeció todo Israela. 24 Y todos los oficiales, los hombres valientes, y también todos los hijos del rey David juraron obediencia al rey1 Salomón. 25 Y el SEÑOR engrandeció en gran manera a Salomón ante los ojos de todo Israela, y le confirió un reinado glorioso como nunca había tenido ningún rey en Israel antes de élb.

26 David, hijo de Isaí, reinó, pues, sobre todo Israela; 27 el tiempo que reinó sobre Israel fue de cuarenta años; reinó en Hebrón siete años y en Jerusalén reinó treinta y tresa. 28 Y murió en buena vejeza, lleno de días, riquezas y gloria; y su hijo Salomón reinó en su lugarb. 29 Los hechos del rey David, desde el primero hasta el último, están escritos en las crónicas del vidente Samuela, en las crónicas del profeta Natánb y en las crónicas del vidente Gadc, 30 con todo su reinado, su poder y todos los acontecimientos que vinieron sobre él, sobre Israel y sobre todos los reinos de aquellas1 tierras.

Offerings for the Temple

Then King David said to the entire assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, ais still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for bthe 1temple is not for man, but for the LORD God. Now awith all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance. Moreover, in my delight in the house of my God, the treasure I have of gold and silver, I give to the house of my God, over and above all that I have already provided for the holy 1temple, namely, a3,000 talents of gold, of bthe gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the 1buildings; of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work 1done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing 2to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?”

Then athe rulers of the fathers’ households, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with bthe overseers over the king’s work, offered willingly; and for the service for the house of God they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 adarics of gold, and 10,000 talents of silver, and 18,000 talents of brass, and 100,000 talents of iron. 1Whoever possessed precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, 2in care of aJehiel the Gershonite. Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD awith a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.

David’s Prayer

10 So David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, “Blessed are You, O LORD God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11 aYours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 aBoth riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and bin Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

14 “But who am I and who are my people that we should 1be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You. 15 For awe are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; bour days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope. 16 O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours. 17 Since I know, O my God, that aYou try the heart and bdelight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You. 18 O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the 1intentions of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You; 19 and agive to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and bto build the 1temple, for which I have made provision.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the LORD your God.” And aall the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bbowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.
