2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
E aconteceu que ao fim de vinte anos que Salomão havia edificado a casa do SENHOR e sua 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.
Reedificou Salomão as cidades que Hirão lhe havia dado, e estabeleceu nelas aos filhos de Israel.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
Depois veio Salomão a Hamate de Zobá, 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.
E edificou a Tadmor no deserto, e todas as cidades de armazéns que edificou em Hamate.
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].
Assim reedificou a Bete-Horom a de acima, e a Bete-Horom a de abaixo, cidades fortificadas, de muros, portas, e barras;
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.
E a Baalate, e a todas as vilas de armazéns que Salomão tinha; também todas as cidades dos carros e as de cavaleiros; e tudo o que Salomão quis edificar em Jerusalém, e no Líbano, e em toda a terra de seu senhorio.
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.
E a todo o povo que havia restado dos heteus, amorreus, perizeus, heveus, e Jebuseos, 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.
Os filhos dos que haviam restado na terra depois deles, aos quais os filhos de Israel não destruíram do todo, fez Salomão tributários até 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.
E dos filhos de Israel não pôs Salomão servos em sua obra; porque eram homens de guerra, e seus príncipes e seus capitães, e comandantes de seus carros, e seus cavaleiros.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
E tinha Salomão duzentos e cinquenta principais dos governadores, os quais mandavam naquela gente.
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 passou Salomão à filha de Faraó, da cidade de Davi à casa que ele lhe havia edificado; porque disse: Minha mulher não morará na casa de Davi rei de Israel, porque aquelas habitações de onde entrou a arca do SENHOR, são sagradas.
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 ofereceu Salomão holocaustos ao SENHOR sobre o altar do SENHOR, que havia ele 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.
Para que oferecessem cada coisa em seu dia, conforme ao mandamento de Moisés, nos sábados, nas novas luas, e nas solenidades, três vezes no ano, a saber, na festa dos pães ázimos, na festa das semanas, e na festa das cabanas.
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.
E constituiu as repartições dos sacerdotes em seus ofícios, conforme à ordenação de Davi seu pai; e os levitas por suas ordens, para que louvassem e ministrassem diante dos sacerdotes, casa coisa em seu dia; assim os porteiros por sua ordem
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
E não saíram do mandamento do rei, quanto aos sacerdotes e levitas, e os tesouros, e todo negócio:
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.
Porque toda a obra de Salomão estava preparada desde o dia em que a casa do SENHOR foi fundada até que se acabou, até que a casa do SENHOR foi acabada do tudo.
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 Salomão foi a Eziom-Geber, e a Elote, à costa 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.
Porque Hirão lhe havia enviado navios por mão de seus servos, e marinheiros destros no mar, os quais foram com os servos de Salomão a Ofir, e tomaram de ali quatrocentos e cinquenta talentos de ouro, e os trouxeram ao rei Salomão.
