1 Reyes 6

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 En el año 480 de la salida de los israelitas de la tierra de Egipto, el año cuarto del reinado de Salomón sobre Israel, en el mes de Ziv, que es el segundo mes, emprendió la construcción de la Casa de Yahveh.	1 Then it happened that, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, the house of the Lord began to be built.
2 La Casa que edificó el rey Salomón a Yahveh tenía sesenta codos de largo, veinte de ancho y veinticinco de alto.	2 Now the house, which king Solomon was building to the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height.
3 El Ulam delante del Hekal de la Casa tenía veinte codos de largo en el sentido del ancho de la Casa y diez codos de ancho en el sentido de largo de la Casa.	3 And a portico was before the temple, of twenty cubits in length, in accord with the measure of the width of the temple. And it had ten cubits of width before the face of the temple.
4 Hizo en la Casa ventanas con celosías.	4 And he made oblique windows in the temple.
5 Edificó junto al muro de la Casa una galería en torno al Hekal y al Debir, e hizo habitaciones laterales en derredor.	5 And upon the wall of the temple, he built panels on all sides, in the walls of the house around the temple and the oracle. And he made side chambers all around.
6 La galería inferior tenía cinco codos de ancho, la intermedia seis codos de ancho y la tercera siete codos de ancho, porque fue rebajando alrededor de la Casa, por la parte exterior, para no empotrar en los muros de la Casa.	6 The flooring on the bottom level held five cubits in width, and the middle floor was six cubits in width, and the third floor held seven cubits in width. Then he positioned beams on the house all around the outside, in such a way that they would not be fastened to the walls of the temple.
7 (La Casa fue construida con piedras preparadas en la cantera; durante su construcción no se oyeron en la Casa martillazos ni sierras ni instrumentos de hierro.)	7 Now the house, while it was being built, was made from cut and finished stones. And so, neither mallet, nor chisel, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
8 La entrada del piso inferior estaba en el ala derecha de la Casa, y por una escalera de caracol se subía al piso intermedio y del intermedio al tercero.	8 The door at the side of the middle section was to the right of the house. And they would ascend along winding stairs to the middle level, and from the middle level to the third level.
9 Edificó la Casa, la acabó y la techó con artesonado de cedro.	9 And he built the house, and finished it. And he overlaid the house with boards of cedar.
10 Edificó la galería, adosada a toda la Casa, de cinco codos de alta y estaba unida a la Casa por vigas de cedro.	10 And he built a paneling over the entire house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with cedar wood.
11 Fue dirigida a Salomón la palabra de Yahveh diciendo:	11 And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:
12 «Por esta Casa que estás edificando, si caminas según mis preceptos, obras según mis sentencias y guardas todos mis mandamientos para andar conforme a ellos, yo cumpliré mi palabra contigo, la que dije a David tu padre,	12 “Concerning this house, which you are building: if you will walk in my precepts, and carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments, advancing by them, I will confirm my word to you, which I spoke to your father David.
13 habitaré en medio de los hijos de Israel y no abandonaré a mi pueblo Israel».	13 And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
14 Edificó Salomón la Casa y la terminó.	14 And so, Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 Revistió los muros de la Casa en el interior con planchas de cedro desde el suelo de la Casa hasta las vigas del techo; revistió de madera el interior y recubrió el suelo de la Casa con planchas de ciprés.	15 And he built the walls of the house, on the interior, with panels of cedar, from the floor of the house, to the top of the walls, and even to the ceiling. He covered it with cedar wood on the interior. And he overlaid the floor of the house with panels of spruce.
16 Construyó los veinte codos del fondo de la Casa con planchas de cedro desde el suelo hasta las vigas, formando así por la parte interior el Debir, el Santo de los Santos;	16 And he built panels of cedar, of twenty cubits, at the back part of the temple, from the floor even to the top. And he made the inner house of the oracle as the Holy of Holies.
17 cuarenta codos tenía la Casa, es decir, el Hekal, delante del Debir.	17 And the temple itself, before the doors of the oracle, was forty cubits.
18 El cedro del interior de la Casa estaba esculpido con figuras de calabazas y capullos abiertos; todo era cedro, no se veía la piedra.	18 And the entire house was clothed with cedar on the interior, having its turnings and junctures artfully wrought, with carvings projecting outward. Everything was clothed with panels of cedar. And no stone at all was able to be seen in the wall.
19 Había preparado un Debir al fondo de la Casa en el interior para colocar en él el arca de la alianza de Yahveh.	19 Now he made the oracle in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might station the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.
20 El Debir tenía veinte codos de largo, veinte codos de ancho y veinte codos de alto ; lo revistió de oro fino; y alzó un altar de cedro	20 And the oracle held twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and clothed it with the purest gold. Then, too, he clothed the altar in cedar.
21 delante del Debir y lo revistió de oro.	21 Also, the house before the oracle, he covered with the purest gold, and he fastened the plates with nails of gold.
22 Revistió de oro también la Casa, absolutamente toda la Casa.	22 And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold. Moreover, the entire altar of the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 Hizo en el Debir dos querubines de madera de acebuche de diez codos de altura.	23 And he made in the oracle two cherubim from wood of the olive tree, of ten cubits in height.
24 Un ala del querubín tenía cinco codos y la otra ala del querubín cinco codos: diez codos desde la punta de una de sus alas hasta la punta de la otra de sus alas.	24 One wing of a cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of a cherub was five cubits, that is, having ten cubits from the summit of one wing even to the summit of the other wing.
25 El segundo querubín tenía diez codos, las mismas medidas y la misma forma para los dos querubines.	25 Likewise, the second cherub was ten cubits. And the measure was equal and the work was one, in the two cherubim,
26 La altura de un querubín era de diez codos y lo mismo el segundo querubín.	26 that is, one cherub had a height of ten cubits, and similarly the second cherub.
27 Colocó los querubines en medio del recinto interior; y las alas de los querubines estaban desplegadas; el ala de uno tocaba un muro y el ala del segundo querubín tocaba el otro muro, y sus alas se tocaban en medio del recinto, ala con ala.	27 And he stationed the cherubim in the middle of the inner temple. And the cherubim extended their wings, and the wing of the one was touching the wall, and the wing of the second cherub was touching the other wall. But the other wings, in the middle of the temple, were touching each another.
28 Revistió de oro los querubines.	28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 Esculpió todo en torno los muros de la Casa con grabados de escultura de querubines, palmeras, capullos abiertos, al interior y al exterior.	29 And all the walls of the temple all around he engraved with diverse carvings and turnings. And he made in them cherubim, and palm trees, and various images, as if these were projecting out, and going forth from, the wall.
30 Recubrió de oro el piso de la Casa al interior y al exterior.	30 Then, too, the floor of the house he overlaid with gold within and without.
31 Hizo la puerta del Debir con batientes de madera de acebuche, y el dintel y las jambas ocupaban la quinta parte;	31 And at the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors, from wood of the olive tree, with posts of five corners.
32 los dos batientes eran de madera de acebuche; esculpió sobre ellos esculturas de querubines, palmas y capullos abiertos, y los revistió de oro, poniendo láminas de oro sobre los querubines y las palmeras.	32 And there were two doors, from wood of the olive tree. And he carved upon them pictures of cherubim, and images of palm trees, and very prominent figures. And he overlaid these with gold. And he covered the cherubim, as well as the palm trees and the other things, with gold.
33 Hizo lo mismo en la puerta del Hekal: los montantes de madera de acebuche que ocupaban la cuarta parte;	33 And he made, at the entrance of the temple, posts from wood of the olive tree, with four corners,
34 dos batientes de madera de abeto: dos planchas de un batiente eran giratorias y también eran giratorias otras dos planchas del otro batiente.	34 and two doors, from wood of the spruce tree, on the other side. And each door was double, and so it opened by folding upon itself.
35 Esculpió querubines, palmeras, capullos abiertos y embutió oro sobre la escultura.	35 And he carved cherubim, and palm trees, and very prominent engravings. And he covered everything with gold plates, worked to be perfectly square.
36 Edificó el patio interior; tres filas de piedras talladas y una fila de tablones de cedro.	36 And he built the inner atrium with three rows of polished stones, and one row of cedar wood.
37 El año cuarto, en el mes de Ziv, se pusieron los cimientos de la Casa de Yahveh,	37 In the fourth year, the house of the Lord was founded, in the month of Ziv.
38 y el año once, en el mes de Bul - que es el mes octavo - fue acabada la Casa en todas sus partes, según todo su proyecto. Salomón la levantó en siete años.	38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was perfected in all its works and in all its equipment. And he built it for seven years.
