< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
E Salomão, filho de David, se esforçou no seu reino; e o Senhor seu Deus era com ele, e o magnificou grandemente.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the ancestral houses.
E falou Salomão a todo o Israel, aos capitães de milhares e das centenas, e aos juízes, e a todos os príncipes em todo o Israel, chefes dos pais.
3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
E foram Salomão e toda a congregação com ele ao alto que estava em Gibeon; porque ali estava a tenda da congregação de Deus, que Moisés, servo do Senhor, tinha feito no deserto.
4 But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Mas David tinha feito subir a arca de Deus de Kiriath-jearim ao lugar que David lhe tinha preparado; porque lhe tinha armado uma tenda em Jerusalém.
5 Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
Também o altar de cobre que tinha feito Besaleel, filho de Uri, filho de Hur, estava ali diante do tabernáculo do Senhor: e Salomão e a congregação o visitavam.
6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
E Salomão ofereceu ali sacrifícios perante o Senhor, sobre o altar de cobre que estava na tenda da congregação, e ofereceu sobre ele mil holocaustos.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."
Naquela mesma noite Deus apareceu a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Pede o que quizeres que eu te dê.
8 Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
E Salomão disse a Deus: Tu usaste de grande beneficência com meu pai David: e a mim me fizeste rei em seu lugar.
9 Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
Agora pois, ó Senhor Deus, confirme-se a tua palavra, dada a meu pai David; porque tu me fizeste reinar sobre um povo numeroso como o pó da terra.
10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?"
Dá-me pois agora sabedoria e conhecimento, para que possa sair e entrar perante este povo: porque quem poderia julgar a este teu tão grande povo?
11 God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
Então Deus disse a Salomão: Porquanto houve isto no teu coração, e não pediste riquezas, fazenda, ou honra, nem a morte dos que te aborrecem, nem tão pouco pediste muitos dias de vida, mas pediste para ti sabedoria e conhecimento, para poderes julgar a meu povo, sobre o qual te pus rei,
12 wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like."
Sabedoria e conhecimento te são dados: e te darei riquezas, e fazenda, e honra, qual nenhuns reis antes de ti tiveram: e depois de ti tais não haverá.
13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
Assim Salomão veio a Jerusalém, do alto que está em Gibeon, de diante da tenda da congregação: e reinou sobre Israel.
14 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
E Salomão ajuntou carros e cavaleiros, e teve mil e quatrocentos carros, e doze mil cavaleiros: e pô-los nas cidades dos carros, e junto ao rei em Jerusalém.
15 The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
E fez o rei que houvesse ouro e prata em Jerusalém como pedras: e cedros em tanta abundância como figueiras bravas que há pelas campinas.
16 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
E os cavalos, que tinha Salomão, se traziam do Egito, e, quanto ao fio de linho os mercadores do rei tomavam o fio de linho por um certo preço.
17 They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
E faziam subir e sair do Egito cada carro por seiscentos siclos de prata, e cada cavalo por cento e cincoênta: e assim por meio deles os tiravam para todos os reis dos heteus, e para os reis da Síria.
