2 Crônicas 8
1 E succedeu, ao cabo de vinte annos, nos quaes Salomão edificou a casa do Senhor, e a sua propria casa,
Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,
2 Que Salomão edificou as cidades que Hurão lhe tinha dado; e fez habitar n'ellas os filhos d'Israel.
He took in hand the building up of the towns which Huram had given him, causing the children of Israel to make living-places for themselves there.
3 Depois foi Salomão a Hamath Zoba, e a tomou.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.
4 Tambem edificou a Tadmor no deserto, e todas as cidades das munições, que edificou em Hamath.
And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;
5 Edificou tambem a alta Beth-horon, e a baixa Beth-horon; cidades fortes com muros, portas e ferrolhos;
And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;
6 Como tambem a Baalath, e todas as cidades das munições, que Salomão tinha, e todas as cidades dos carros e as cidades dos cavalleiros; e tudo quanto, conforme ao seu desejo, Salomão quiz edificar em Jerusalem, e no Libano, e em toda a terra do seu dominio.
And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.
7 Quanto a todo o povo, que tinha ficado dos hetheos, e amorrheos, e pherezeos, e heveos, e jebuseos, que não eram d'Israel,
As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:
8 Dos seus filhos, que ficaram depois d'elles na terra, os quaes os filhos d'Israel não destruiram, Salomão os fez tributarios, até ao dia d'hoje.
Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;
9 Porém dos filhos d'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 cavalleiros),
But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.
10 D'estes pois eram os chefes dos officiaes que o rei Salomão tinha, duzentos e cincoenta, que presidiam sobre o povo.
Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.
11 E Salomão fez subir a filha de Pharaó da cidade de David para a casa que lhe tinha edificado; porque disse: Minha mulher não morará na casa de David, rei d'Israel, porquanto sanctos são os logares nos quaes entrou a arca do Senhor.
Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.
12 Então Salomão offereceu holocaustos ao Senhor, sobre o altar do Senhor, que tinha edificado diante do portico:
Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,
13 E isto segundo a ordem de cada dia, offerecendo o mandamento de Moysés, nos sabbados e nas luas novas, e nas solemnidades, tres vezes no anno: na festa dos pães asmos, e na festa das semanas, e na festa das tendas.
Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.
14 Tambem, conforme á ordem de David seu pae, ordenou as turmas dos sacerdotes nos seus ministerios, como tambem as dos levitas ácerca 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.
And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places in turn at every door; for so David, the man of God, had given orders.
15 E não se desviaram do mandado do rei aos sacerdotes e levitas, em negocio nenhum, nem ácerca dos thesouros.
All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.
16 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.
And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.
17 Então foi Salomão a Esion-geber, e a Eloth, á praia do mar, na terra d'Edom.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth by the sea in the land of Edom.
18 E enviou-lhe Hurão, por mão de seus servos, navios, e servos praticos do mar, e foram com os servos de Salomão a Ophir, e tomaram de lá quatrocentos e cincoenta talentos d'oiro: e os trouxeram ao rei Salomão.
And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon.
