< 2 Chronicles 7 >

1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned all the offerings and sacrifices [that were on the altar], and the glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple.
E acabando Salomão de orar, desceu o fogo do céu, e consumiu o holocausto e os sacrifícios: e a glória do Senhor encheu a casa.
2 The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
E os sacerdotes não podiam entrar na casa do Senhor; porque a glória do Senhor tinha enchido a casa do Senhor.
3 When all the Israeli people [who were there] saw the fire coming down and the glory of Yahweh above the temple, they prostrated themselves with their faces touching the ground. They worshiped and thanked Yahweh, singing, “Yahweh is always good to us; he faithfully loves us forever.”
E todos os filhos de Israel vendo descer o fogo, e a glória do Senhor sobre a casa, encurvaram-se com o rosto em terra sobre o pavimento, e adoraram e louvaram ao Senhor: porque é bom, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre.
4 Then the king and all the people who were there dedicated the temple to Yahweh by offering more sacrifices to him. King Solomon gave 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats to be sacrificed.
E o rei e todo o povo ofereciam sacrifícios perante o Senhor.
5
E o rei Salomão ofereceu sacrifícios de bois, vinte e dois mil, e de ovelhas cento e vinte mil: e o rei e todo o povo consagraram a casa de Deus.
6 The priests stood in their positions, and the other descendants of Levi stood in their positions holding the musical instruments [to praise] Yahweh, instruments that King David had caused to be made for praising Yahweh and thanking him. [They sang], “He faithfully loves us forever.” Facing the other descendants of Levi the priests stood, blowing their trumpets, while all the Israeli people were standing [and listening].
E os sacerdotes segundo as suas turmas estavam em pé; como também os levitas com os instrumentos músicos do Senhor, que o rei David tinha feito, para louvarem ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre, quando David o louvava pelo ministério deles: e os sacerdotes tocavam as trombetas defronte deles, e todo o Israel estava em pé.
7 Solomon dedicated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple. Then he gave offerings to be completely burned there along with the fat of the animals to be sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. The priests burned them there in the courtyard because in addition to those things there were offerings of grain, with the result that there was not enough space on the bronze altar to burn all those sacrifices.
E Salomão santificou o meio do pátio, que estava diante da casa do Senhor; porquanto ali tinha ele oferecido os holocaustos e a gordura dos sacrifícios pacíficos; porque no altar de metal, que Salomão tinha feito, não podia caber o holocausto, e a oferta de manjares, e a gordura.
8 Solomon [and the other people] celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days. There was a huge group of people who celebrated with him. Some of them came from [as far away as] Lebo-Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
E naquele mesmo tempo celebrou Salomão a festa sete dias e todo o Israel com ele, uma mui grande congregação, desde a entrada de Hamath, até ao rio do Egito.
9 On the eighth/next day they gathered again [to worship Yahweh]. They had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days.
E ao dia oitavo celebraram o dia de proibição; porque sete dias celebraram a consagração do altar, e sete dias a festa.
10 Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
E no dia vigésimo terceiro do sétimo mes, deixou ir o povo para as suas tendas, alegres e de bom ânimo, pelo bem que o Senhor tinha feito a David, e a Salomão, e a seu povo Israel.
11 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
Assim Salomão acabou a casa do Senhor, e a casa do rei: e tudo quanto Salomão intentou fazer na casa do Senhor e na sua casa prosperamente o efeitou.
12 Then Yahweh appeared to him one night [in a dream] and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this temple to be the place where my people will offer sacrifices to me.
E o Senhor apareceu de noite a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Ouvi a tua oração, e escolhi para mim este lugar para casa de sacrifício.
13 “When I prevent any rain from falling, or when I command locusts to eat all the crops, or when I send a plague among my people,
Se eu cerrar os céus, e não houver chuva; ou se ordenar aos gafanhotos que consumam a terra; ou se enviar a peste entre o meu povo:
14 if the people who belong to me humble themselves and pray, and request me to help them, and if they turn away from their sinful behavior, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive them for having sinned and I will cause them to prosper again.
E se o meu povo, que se chama pelo meu nome, se humilhar, e orar, e buscar a minha face e se converter dos seus maus caminhos, então eu ouvirei dos céus, e perdoarei os seus pecados, e sararei a sua terra.
15 I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me in this place.
Agora estarão abertos os meus olhos e atentos os meus ouvidos à oração deste lugar.
16 I have chosen and have (set apart/dedicated) this temple in order that people may worship [MTY] me there forever. I will always watch over [MTY] it and protect [IDM] it.
Porque agora escolhi e santifiquei esta casa, para que o meu nome esteja nela perpetuamente: e nelas estarão fixos os meus olhos e o meu coração todos os dias.
17 “And as for you, if you obey me as David your father did, and if you do all that I command you to do, and obey all my laws and decrees,
E, quanto a ti, se andares diante de mim, como andou David teu pai, e fizeres conforme a tudo o que te ordenei, e guardares os meus estatutos e os meus juízos,
18 I will make sure that your descendants will always be kings, which is what I promised to David your father, saying, ‘Some of your descendants will always be the kings of Israel.’
Também confirmarei o trono do teu reino, conforme o concerto que fiz com David, teu pai, dizendo: Não te faltará varão que domine em Israel.
19 “But if you Israelis turn away from me and disobey the decrees and commands that I have given to you, and you start to worship other gods,
Porém se vós vos desviardes, e deixardes os meus estatutos, e os meus mandamentos, que vos tenho proposto, e fordes, e servirdes a outros deuses, e vos prostrardes a eles,
20 I will cause you to be expelled from this land that I have given to you, and I will abandon this temple that I have set apart to be the place where people should worship me. I will cause it to be despised and ridiculed by people of all nations.
Então os arrancarei da minha terra que lhes dei, e lançarei da minha presença esta casa que consagrei ao meu nome, e farei com que seja por provérbio e mote entre todas as gentes.
21 Although this temple is now greatly respected, when that happens, all the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done terrible things like this to this country and to this temple?’
E desta casa, que fôra tão exaltada, qualquer que passar por ela se espantará e dirá: Porque fez o Senhor assim com esta terra e com esta casa?
22 And others will reply, ‘It happened because they rejected Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they have been worshiping other gods and trying to please them. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
E dirão: Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus pais, que os tirou da terra do Egito, e se deram a outros deuses, e se prostraram a eles, e os serviram: por isso ele trouxe sobre eles todo este mal.
