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.
Thus todo o trabalho que Salomão fez para a casa de Yahweh foi concluído. Salomão trouxe as coisas que David seu pai havia dedicado, até mesmo a prata, o ouro e todos os vasos, e os colocou 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 reuniu os anciãos de Israel e todos os chefes das tribos, os príncipes das famílias dos pais dos filhos de Israel, em Jerusalém, para trazer a arca da aliança de Iavé para fora 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.
Assim, todos os homens de Israel se reuniram ao rei na festa, que foi no sétimo mês.
4 When they had all arrived, the descendants of Levi lifted up the Sacred Chest,
Todos os anciãos de Israel vieram. Os levitas ocuparam 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.
Eles levantaram a arca, a Tenda da Reunião e todos os vasos sagrados que estavam na Tenda. Os sacerdotes levíticos os trouxeram à tenda.
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].
O rei Salomão e toda a congregação de Israel que estava reunida a ele estavam diante da arca, sacrificando ovelhas e gado que não podiam ser contadas ou numeradas para a multidão.
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.
Os sacerdotes trouxeram a arca da aliança de Iavé para seu lugar, para o santuário interior da casa, para o lugar santíssimo, mesmo 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 estenderam suas asas sobre o lugar da arca, e os querubins cobriram a arca e seus postes acima.
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.
Os postes eram tão longos que as extremidades dos postes eram vistas da arca em frente ao santuário interior, mas não eram vistas do lado de fora; e está lá 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.
Não havia nada na arca, exceto as duas tábuas que Moisés colocou lá em Horeb, quando Javé fez um pacto com os filhos de Israel, quando eles 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.
Quando os sacerdotes tinham saído do lugar santo (pois todos os sacerdotes que estavam presentes tinham se santificado e não mantinham suas divisões;
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.
also os levitas que eram os cantores, todos eles, até Asafe, Heman, Jeduthun, seus filhos e seus irmãos, vestidos de linho fino, com címbalos e instrumentos de cordas e harpas, estavam na extremidade leste do altar, e com eles cento e vinte sacerdotes tocando 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.
quando os trombeteiros e cantores eram como um só, para fazer um som a ser ouvido em louvor e agradecimento a Javé; e quando levantaram sua voz com as trombetas e címbalos e instrumentos de música, e elogiaram Javé, dizendo, “Pois ele é bom, pois sua bondade amorosa perdura para sempre”! então a casa foi preenchida com uma nuvem, até mesmo a casa de Javé,
14 The glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue doing their work.
para que os sacerdotes não suportassem ministrar por causa da nuvem; pois a glória de Javé encheu a casa de Deus.
