2 Crônicas 7
1 E acabando Salomão de orar, desceu o fogo do céu, e consumiu o holocausto e os sacrificios: e a gloria do Senhor encheu a casa.
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.
2 E os sacerdotes não podiam entrar na casa do Senhor; porque a gloria do Senhor tinha enchido a casa do Senhor.
The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
3 E todos os filhos d'Israel vendo descer o fogo, e a gloria 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.
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.”
4 E o rei e todo o povo offereciam sacrificios perante o Senhor.
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.
5 E o rei Salomão offereceu sacrificios de bois, vinte e dois mil, e d'ovelhas cento e vinte mil: e o rei e todo o povo consagraram a casa de Deus.
6 E os sacerdotes segundo as suas turmas estavam em pé; como tambem os levitas com os instrumentos musicos do Senhor, que o rei David tinha feito, para louvarem ao Senhor, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre, quando David o louvava pelo ministerio d'elles: e os sacerdotes tocavam as trombetas defronte d'elles, e todo o Israel estava em pé.
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].
7 E Salomão sanctificou o meio do pateo, que estava diante da casa do Senhor; porquanto ali tinha elle offerecido os holocaustos e a gordura dos sacrificios pacificos; porque no altar de metal, que Salomão tinha feito, não podia caber o holocausto, e a offerta de manjares, e a gordura.
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.
8 E n'aquelle mesmo tempo celebrou Salomão a festa sete dias e todo o Israel com elle, uma mui grande congregação, desde a entrada d'Hamath, até ao rio do Egypto.
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].
9 E ao dia oitavo celebraram o dia de prohibição; porque sete dias celebraram a consagração do altar, e sete dias a festa.
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.
10 E no dia vigesimo terceiro do setimo mez, deixou ir o povo para as suas tendas, alegres e de bom animo, pelo bem que o Senhor tinha feito a David, e a Salomão, e a seu povo Israel.
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.
11 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 effeituou.
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
12 E o Senhor appareceu de noite a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Ouvi a tua oração, e escolhi para mim este logar para casa de sacrificio.
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.
13 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:
“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,
14 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 peccados, e sararei a sua terra.
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.
15 Agora estarão abertos os meus olhos e attentos os meus ouvidos á oração d'este logar.
I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me in this place.
16 Porque agora escolhi e sanctifiquei esta casa, para que o meu nome esteja n'ella perpetuamente: e n'ellas estarão fixos os meus olhos e o meu coração todos os dias.
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.
17 E, quanto a ti, se andares diante de mim, como andou David teu pae, e fizeres conforme a tudo o que te ordenei, e guardares os meus estatutos e os meus juizos,
“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,
18 Tambem confirmarei o throno do teu reino, conforme o concerto que fiz com David, teu pae, dizendo: Não te faltará varão que domine em Israel.
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.’
19 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 elles,
“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,
20 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 proverbio e mote entre todas as gentes.
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.
21 E d'esta casa, que fôra tão exaltada, qualquer que passar por ella se espantará e dirá: Porque fez o Senhor assim com esta terra e com esta casa?
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?’
22 E dirão: Porquanto deixaram ao Senhor Deus de seus paes, que os tirou da terra do Egypto, e se deram a outros deuses, e se prostraram a elles, e os serviram: por isso elle trouxe sobre elles todo este mal.
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.’”
