< 2 Crônicas 1 >
1 E Salomão, filho de David, se esforçou no seu reino; e o Senhor seu Deus era com ele, e o magnificou grandemente.
Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.
2 E falou Salomão a todo o Israel, aos capitães de milhares e das centenas, e aos juízes, e a todos os príncipes em todo o Israel, chefes dos pais.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
3 E foram Salomão e toda a congregação com ele ao alto que estava em Gibeon; porque ali estava a tenda da congregação de Deus, que Moisés, servo do Senhor, tinha feito no deserto.
Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which the LORD’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness.
4 Mas David tinha feito subir a arca de Deus de Kiriath-jearim ao lugar que David lhe tinha preparado; porque lhe tinha armado uma tenda em Jerusalém.
But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Também o altar de cobre que tinha feito Besaleel, filho de Uri, filho de Hur, estava ali diante do tabernáculo do Senhor: e Salomão e a congregação o visitavam.
Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the LORD’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
6 E Salomão ofereceu ali sacrifícios perante o Senhor, sobre o altar de cobre que estava na tenda da congregação, e ofereceu sobre ele mil holocaustos.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Naquela mesma noite Deus apareceu a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Pede o que quizeres que eu te dê.
That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.”
8 E Salomão disse a Deus: Tu usaste de grande beneficência com meu pai David: e a mim me fizeste rei em seu lugar.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Agora pois, ó Senhor Deus, confirme-se a tua palavra, dada a meu pai David; porque tu me fizeste reinar sobre um povo numeroso como o pó da terra.
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Dá-me pois agora sabedoria e conhecimento, para que possa sair e entrar perante este povo: porque quem poderia julgar a este teu tão grande povo?
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?”
11 Então Deus disse a Salomão: Porquanto houve isto no teu coração, e não pediste riquezas, fazenda, ou honra, nem a morte dos que te aborrecem, nem tão pouco pediste muitos dias de vida, mas pediste para ti sabedoria e conhecimento, para poderes julgar a meu povo, sobre o qual te pus rei,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king,
12 Sabedoria e conhecimento te são dados: e te darei riquezas, e fazenda, e honra, qual nenhuns reis antes de ti tiveram: e depois de ti tais não haverá.
therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will have.”
13 Assim Salomão veio a Jerusalém, do alto que está em Gibeon, de diante da tenda da congregação: e reinou sobre Israel.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
14 E Salomão ajuntou carros e cavaleiros, e teve mil e quatrocentos carros, e doze mil cavaleiros: e pô-los nas cidades dos carros, e junto ao rei em Jerusalém.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 E fez o rei que houvesse ouro e prata em Jerusalém como pedras: e cedros em tanta abundância como figueiras bravas que há pelas campinas.
The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
16 E os cavalos, que tinha Salomão, se traziam do Egito, e, quanto ao fio de linho os mercadores do rei tomavam o fio de linho por um certo preço.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 E faziam subir e sair do Egito cada carro por seiscentos siclos de prata, e cada cavalo por cento e cincoênta: e assim por meio deles os tiravam para todos os reis dos heteus, e para os reis da Síria.
They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty. They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian kings.
