2 Crônicas 8
1 E succedeu, ao cabo de vinte annos, nos quaes Salomão edificou a casa do Senhor, e a sua propria casa,
It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
2 Que Salomão edificou as cidades que Hurão lhe tinha dado; e fez habitar n'ellas os filhos d'Israel.
Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
3 Depois foi Salomão a Hamath Zoba, e a tomou.
Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Tambem edificou a Tadmor no deserto, e todas as cidades das munições, que edificou em Hamath.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
5 Edificou tambem a alta Beth-horon, e a baixa Beth-horon; cidades fortes com muros, portas e ferrolhos;
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
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 also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
7 Quanto a todo o povo, que tinha ficado dos hetheos, e amorrheos, e pherezeos, e heveos, e jebuseos, que não eram d'Israel,
There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
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.
They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are 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 any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and horsemen.
10 D'estes pois eram os chefes dos officiaes que o rei Salomão tinha, duzentos e cincoenta, que presidiam sobre o povo.
They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised 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.
Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
12 Então Salomão offereceu holocaustos ao Senhor, sobre o altar do Senhor, que tinha edificado diante do portico:
Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
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.
He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
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.
Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
15 E não se desviaram do mandado do rei aos sacerdotes e levitas, em negocio nenhum, nem ácerca dos thesouros.
They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
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.
This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
17 Então foi Salomão a Esion-geber, e a Eloth, á praia do mar, na terra d'Edom.
After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of 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.
Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back to King Solomon.
