2 Chronicles 5
1 After Solomon’s workers had finished building the temple, Solomon put in the temple storage rooms everything that his father David had dedicated to Yahweh—all the silver and gold and all the other things that were used at the temple.
E acabada que foi toda a obra que fez Salomão para a casa do SENHOR, meteu Salomão nela as coisas que Davi seu pai havia dedicado; e pôs a prata, e o ouro, e todos os vasos, nos tesouros da casa de Deus.
2 Then King Solomon summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes and of the families/clans. He wanted them to help to bring to the temple Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill], where it was in [the part of the city called] ‘The City of David’.
Então Salomão juntou em Jerusalém os anciãos de Israel, e todos os príncipes das tribos, os cabeças das famílias dos filhos de Israel, para que trouxessem a arca do pacto do SENHOR da cidade de Davi, que é Sião.
3 So all the leaders of Israel gathered together along with the king, during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
E juntaram-se ao rei todos os varões de Israel, à solenidade do mês sétimo.
4 When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
E vieram todos os anciãos de Israel, e tomaram os levitas a arca:
5 and they carried it and the Sacred Tent and the sacred things that were inside it. The priests, who were also descended from Levi, carried them.
E levaram a arca, e o tabernáculo do testemunho, e todos os vasos do santuário que estavam no tabernáculo: os sacerdotes e os levitas os levaram.
6 King Solomon and many of the other people of Israel who had gathered there walked in front of the Sacred Chest. And they sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and cattle. No one was able to count them [because there were very many].
E o rei Salomão, e toda a congregação de Israel que se havia a ele reunido diante da arca, sacrificaram ovelhas e bois, que pela abundância não se puderam contar nem numerar.
7 The priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Most Holy Place, the inner room of the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the statues of winged creatures.
E os sacerdotes meteram a arca do pacto do SENHOR em seu lugar, no compartimento interno da casa, no lugar santíssimo, sob as asas dos querubins:
8 The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
Pois os querubins estendiam as asas sobre o assento da arca, e cobriam os querubins por encima assim a arca como suas barras.
9 The poles were very long, with the result that they could be seen by [those who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen by anyone standing outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
E fizeram sair fora as barras, de modo que se vissem as cabeças das barras da arca diante do compartimento interno, mas não se viam desde fora: e ali estiveram até hoje.
10 The only things that were inside the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai Mountain, where Yahweh made an agreement with the Israeli people after they came out of Egypt.
No arca nada havia, a não serem as duas tábuas que Moisés havia posto em Horebe, com as quais o SENHOR havia feito aliança com os filhos de Israel, depois que saíram do Egito.
11 Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were there, from every group, had performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to God.
E quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário, (porque todos os sacerdotes que se acharam haviam sido santificados, e não guardavam suas vezes;
12 All the descendants of Levi who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons and their other relatives—stood on the east side of the altar. They were wearing linen clothes, and they were playing cymbals, harps, and lyres. There were 120 other priests who were blowing trumpets.
E os levitas cantores, todos os de Asafe, os de Hemã, e os de Jedutum, juntamente com seus filhos e seus irmãos, vestidos de linho fino, estavam com címbalos e saltérios e harpas ao oriente do altar; e com eles cento vinte sacerdotes que tocavam trombetas);
13 The men blowing trumpets, those playing the cymbals and other musical instruments, and the singers, made music together, praising Yahweh and singing this song: “Yahweh is good [to us]; he faithfully loves us forever.” Then [suddenly] the temple was filled with a cloud.
Soavam, pois, as trombetas, e cantavam com a voz todos a uma, para louvar e confessar ao SENHOR: e quando levantavam a voz com trombetas e címbalos e instrumentos de música, quando louvavam ao SENHOR, dizendo: Porque é bom, porque sua misericórdia é para sempre; então a casa, [isto é], a casa do SENHOR, se encheu de uma nuvem.
14 The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
E os sacerdotes não podiam ficar em pé para ministrar, por causa da nuvem; porque a glória do SENHOR havia enchido a casa de Deus.
