2 Crônicas 1
1 E Salomão filho de Davi foi estabelecido em seu reino; e o SENHOR seu Deus foi com ele, e lhe engrandeceu muito.
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.
2 E chamou Salomão a todo Israel, comandantes, líderes de centenas, e juízes, e a todos os príncipes de todo Israel, cabeças de famílias.
[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.
3 E foi Salomão, e com ele toda esta congregação, ao alto que havia em Gibeão; porque ali estava o tabernáculo do testemunho de Deus, que Moisés servo do SENHOR havia feito no deserto.
4 Mas Davi havia trazido a arca de Deus de Quriate-Jearim ao lugar que ele lhe havia preparado; porque ele lhe havia estendido uma tenda em Jerusalém.
5 Assim o altar de bronze que havia feito Bezalel filho de Uri filho de Hur, estava ali diante do tabernáculo do SENHOR, ao qual Salomão foi a consultar com aquela congregação.
6 Subiu, pois, Salomão ali diante do SENHOR, ao altar de bronze que estava no tabernáculo do testemunho, e ofereceu sobre ele mil holocaustos.
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].
7 E aquela noite apareceu Deus a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Pede o que queres que eu te dê.
That night God appeared to Solomon [in a dream] and said to him, “Request whatever you want me to give to you.”
8 E Salomão disse a Deus: Tu fizeste com Davi meu pai grande misericórdia, e a mim me puseste por rei em seu lugar.
Solomon replied, “You were very kind to David my father, and now you have appointed me to be the king to succeed him.
9 Confirme-se, pois, agora, ó SENHOR Deus, tua palavra dada a Davi meu pai; porque tu me puseste por rei sobre um povo em multidão como o pó da terra.
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.
10 Dá-me agora sabedoria e conhecimento, para sair e entrar diante deste povo: porque quem poderá julgar este teu povo tão grande?
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].”
11 E disse Deus a Salomão: Porquanto isto foi em teu coração, que não pediste riquezas, riqueza, ou glória, nem a alma dos que te querem mal, nem pediste muitos dias, mas sim que pediste para ti sabedoria e conhecimento para julgar meu povo, sobre o qual te constituí por rei.
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.
12 Sabedoria e conhecimento te são dados; e também te darei riquezas, bens, e glória, que nunca houve nos reis que foram antes de ti, nem depois de ti haverá tais.
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.”
13 E voltou Salomão a Jerusalém do alto que estava em Gibeão, de ante o tabernáculo do testemunho; e reinou sobre Israel.
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.
14 E juntou Salomão carros e cavaleiros; e teve mil e quatrocentos carros, e doze mil cavaleiros, os quais pôs nas cidades dos carros, e com o rei em Jerusalém.
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.
15 E pôs o rei prata e ouro em Jerusalém como pedras, e cedro como sicômoros que nascem nos campos em abundância.
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.
16 E traziam cavalos do Egito e de Coa para Salomão; pois os mercadores do rei [os] compravam de Coa por [um certo] preço.
Solomon’s horses were imported/brought from Egypt and from [the] Kue [region in Turkey].
17 E subiam, e tiravam do Egito, um carro por seiscentas peças de prata, e um cavalo por cento e cinquenta: e assim se tiravam por meio deles para todos os reis dos Heteus, e para os reis da Síria.
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.
