2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
E sucedeu, ao cabo de vinte anos, nos quais Salomão edificou a casa do Senhor, e a sua própria casa,
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
Que Salomão edificou as cidades que Hurão lhe tinha dado; e fez habitar nelas os filhos de Israel.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
Depois foi Salomão a Hamath Zoba, e a tomou.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
Também edificou a Tadmor no deserto, e todas as cidades das munições, que edificou em Hamath.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
Edificou também a alta Beth-horon, e a baixa Beth-horon; cidades fortes com muros, portas e ferrolhos;
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
Como também a Baalath, e todas as cidades das munições, que Salomão tinha, e todas as cidades dos carros e as cidades dos cavaleiros; e tudo quanto, conforme ao seu desejo, Salomão quis edificar em Jerusalém, e no líbano, e em toda a terra do seu domínio.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
Quanto a todo o povo, que tinha ficado dos heteus, e amorreus, e pherezeus, e heveus, e jebuseus, que não eram de Israel,
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
Dos seus filhos, que ficaram depois deles na terra, os quais os filhos de Israel não destruiram, Salomão os fez tributários, até ao dia de hoje.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
Porém dos filhos de Israel, a quem Salomão não fez servos para sua obra (mas eram homens de guerra, chefes dos seus capitães, e chefes dos seus carros, e dos seus cavaleiros),
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
Destes pois eram os chefes dos oficiais que o rei Salomão tinha, duzentos e cincoênta, que presidiam sobre o povo.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
E Salomão fez subir a filha de faraó da cidade de David para a casa que lhe tinha edificado; porque disse: Minha mulher não morará na casa de David, rei de Israel, porquanto santos são os lugares nos quais entrou a arca do Senhor.
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Então Salomão ofereceu holocaustos ao Senhor, sobre o altar do Senhor, que tinha edificado diante do pórtico:
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
E isto segundo a ordem de cada dia, oferecendo o mandamento de Moisés, nos sábados e nas luas novas, e nas solenidades, três vezes no ano: na festa dos pães asmos, e na festa das semanas, e na festa das tendas.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
Também, conforme à ordem de David seu pai, ordenou as turmas dos sacerdotes nos seus ministérios, como também as dos levitas acerca de suas guardas, para louvarem a Deus, e ministrarem diante dos sacerdotes, segundo a ordenação de cada dia, e os porteiros pelas suas turmas a cada porta: porque tal era o mandado de David, o homem de Deus.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
E não se desviaram do mandado do rei aos sacerdotes e levitas, em negócio nenhum, nem acerca dos tesouros.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Assim se preparou toda a obra de Salomão, desde o dia da fundação da casa do Senhor, até se acabar: e assim se aperfeiçoou a casa do Senhor.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Então foi Salomão a Esion-geber, e a Eloth, à praia do mar, na terra de Edom.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
E enviou-lhe Hurão, por mão de seus servos, navios, e servos práticos do mar, e foram com os servos de Salomão a Ophir, e tomaram de lá quatrocentos e cincoênta talentos de ouro: e os trouxeram ao rei Salomão.
