2 Chronicles 1
1 David’s son [King] Solomon was able to gain complete control over his kingdom, because Yahweh his God helped him and enabled him to become very powerful.
Salomão, filho de Davi, estava firmemente estabelecido em seu reino, e Javé, seu Deus, estava com ele, e o fez extremamente grande.
2 [When] David [was king, he had arranged for a new] Sacred Tent [to be] made in Jerusalem. Then David [and the Israeli leaders] had brought God’s Sacred Chest from Kiriath-Jearim [city] to the new Sacred Tent in Jerusalem that he had prepared for it. But [when Solomon became the king, ] the first Sacred Tent was still at Gibeon [city]. That was the tent that Moses, the man who served God [well], had [arranged to be] made in the desert. And the bronze altar that Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, had made was also still in Gibeon, in front of the first Sacred Tent. [One day] Solomon summoned the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers and the judges and all the other leaders in Israel. He told them to go with him to Gibeon. So they all went to a hill in Gibeon [where the Sacred Tent was], and Solomon and all the others with him worshiped Yahweh there.
Salomão falou a todo Israel, aos capitães de milhares e de centenas, aos juízes e a cada príncipe em todo Israel, aos chefes de família dos pais.
Então Salomão, e toda a assembléia com ele, foram para o alto que estava em Gibeon; pois a Tenda da Reunião de Deus estava lá, que o servo de Iavé Moisés tinha feito no deserto.
Mas Davi havia levado a arca de Deus de Kiriath Jearim ao lugar que Davi havia preparado para ela; pois havia armado uma tenda para ela em Jerusalém.
Moreover o altar de bronze que Bezalel, filho de Uri, o filho de Hur, havia feito estava lá diante do tabernáculo de Javé; e Salomão e a assembléia buscavam lá conselho.
6 Then Solomon went up to the bronze altar in front of the Sacred Tent, and he offered 1,000 animals to be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar].
Salomão foi até o altar de bronze antes de Yahweh, que estava na Tenda da Reunião, e ofereceu mil holocaustos sobre ele.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
Naquela noite, Deus apareceu a Salomão e lhe disse: “Peça o que você quer que eu lhe dê”.
8 Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
Salomão disse a Deus: “Você demonstrou grande bondade amorosa para com David, meu pai, e me fez rei em seu lugar.
9 So Yahweh my God, you have caused me to become the king to rule people who are as many as the particles of dirt on the earth. So do what you promised my father David.
Agora, Javé Deus, que sua promessa a Davi, meu pai, seja estabelecida; pois me fez rei sobre um povo como o pó da terra em multidão.
10 Please enable me to be wise and to know [what I should do], in order that I may rule these people [well], because there is no one who can rule all this great nation of yours [without your help].”
Agora, dai-me sabedoria e conhecimento, para que eu possa sair e entrar diante deste povo; pois quem pode julgar este vosso grande povo?”.
11 God replied, “[I am pleased with what] you desire; you have not requested a huge amount of money or to be honored or that your enemies be killed. And you have not requested that you live for a long time. Instead, you have requested that [I enable] you [to] be wise and [to] know [what you should do] in order that you may govern [well] my people whom I have appointed you to rule.
Deus disse a Salomão: “Porque isto estava em teu coração, e não pediste riqueza, riqueza, honra ou a vida daqueles que te odeiam, nem ainda pediste vida longa; mas pediste sabedoria e conhecimento para ti mesmo, para que possas julgar meu povo, sobre o qual te fiz rei,
12 Therefore I will enable you to be wise and to know [what you should do to rule my people well]. But I will also enable you to have a huge amount of money and to be honored, more than anyone who was previously a king ever was honored, more than anyone who later becomes king will be honored.”
portanto, a sabedoria e o conhecimento te é concedido. Eu te darei riquezas, riqueza e honra, como nenhum dos reis que te precederam, e nenhum depois de ti”.
13 Then Solomon [and the people who were with him all] left from being in front of he Sacred Tent [on the hill in Gibeon], and they returned to Jerusalem. From there he ruled the Israeli people.
Então Salomão veio do alto que estava em Gibeon, de antes da Tenda da Reunião, para Jerusalém; e ele reinou sobre Israel.
14 Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on horses]. He put some of the chariots and horses in Jerusalem, and put some of them in various other cities.
Salomão reuniu carruagens e cavaleiros. Ele tinha mil e quatrocentos carros e doze mil cavaleiros que colocou nas cidades das carruagens, e com o rei em Jerusalém.
15 During the years that Solomon was king, silver and gold were as common in Jerusalem as stones, and [lumber from] cedar trees were as plentiful as [lumber from] ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.
O rei fez a prata e o ouro para serem tão comuns como as pedras em Jerusalém, e fez os cedros para serem tão comuns como os sicômoros que estão nas terras baixas.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
Os cavalos que Salomão tinha foram trazidos do Egito e de Kue. Os mercadores do rei os compraram de Kue.
17 In Egypt his men paid 15 pounds of silver for each chariot and 3-3/4 pounds of silver for each horse. They also exported/sold many of them to the kings of the Heth and Aram people-groups.
Importaram do Egito e depois exportaram uma carruagem por seiscentas peças de prata e um cavalo por cento e cinqüenta. Eles também as exportaram para os reis hititas e para os reis sírios.
