2 Chronicles 1
1 David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
E Salomão, filho de David, se esforçou no seu reino; e o Senhor seu Deus era com ele, e o magnificou grandemente.
2 [When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
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.
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.
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.
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 Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
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 That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
Naquela mesma noite Deus apareceu a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Pede o que quizeres que eu te dê.
8 Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
E Salomão disse a Deus: Tu usaste de grande beneficência com meu pai David: e a mim me fizeste rei em seu lugar.
9 So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
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 Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
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 replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
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 Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
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 Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
Assim Salomão veio a Jerusalém, do alto que está em Gibeon, de diante da tenda da congregação: e reinou sobre Israel.
14 Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
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 During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
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 Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
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 In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
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.
