2 Chronicles 1

1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

E Salomão, filho de David, se esforçou no seu reino; e o Senhor seu Deus era com elle, e o magnificou grandemente.

2 And Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ [houses].

E fallou Salomão a todo o Israel, aos capitães de milhares e das centenas, e aos juizes, e a todos os principes em todo o Israel, chefes dos paes.

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

E foram Salomão e toda a congregação com elle ao alto que estava em Gibeon; porque ali estava a tenda da congregação de Deus, que Moysés, servo do Senhor, tinha feito no deserto.

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place] that David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

Mas David tinha feito subir a arca de Deus de Kiriath-jearim ao logar que David lhe tinha preparado; porque lhe tinha armado uma tenda em Jerusalem.

5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

Tambem o altar de cobre que tinha feito Besaleel, filho d'Uri, filho d'Hur, estava ali diante do tabernaculo do Senhor: e Salomão e a congregação o visitavam.

6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

E Salomão offereceu ali sacrificios perante o Senhor, sobre o altar de cobre que estava na tenda da congregação, e offereceu sobre elle mil holocaustos.

7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

N'aquella mesma noite Deus appareceu a Salomão, e disse-lhe: Pede o que quizeres que eu te dê.

8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.

E Salomão disse a Deus: Tu usaste de grande beneficencia com meu pae David: e a mim me fizeste rei em seu logar.

9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

Agora pois, ó Senhor Deus, confirme-se a tua palavra, dada a meu pae David; porque tu me fizeste reinar sobre um povo numeroso como o pó da terra.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

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?

11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee; neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

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 puz rei,

12 wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

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 taes não haverá.

13 So Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

Assim Salomão veiu a Jerusalem, do alto que está em Gibeon, de diante da tenda da congregação: e reinou sobre Israel.

14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

E Salomão ajuntou carros e cavalleiros, e teve mil e quatrocentos carros, e doze mil cavalleiros: e pôl-os nas cidades dos carros, e junto ao rei em Jerusalem.

15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

E fez o rei que houvesse oiro e prata em Jerusalem como pedras: e cedros em tanta abundancia como figueiras bravas que ha pelas campinas.

16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

E os cavallos, que tinha Salomão, se traziam do Egypto, e, quanto ao fio de linho os mercadores do rei tomavam o fio de linho por um certo preço.

17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

E faziam subir e sair do Egypto cada carro por seiscentos siclos de prata, e cada cavallo por cento e cincoenta: e assim por meio d'elles os tiravam para todos os reis dos hetheos, e para os reis da Syria.
