2 Crônicas 5

1 E acabada que foi toda a obra que fez Salomão para a casa do SENHOR, meteu Salomão nela as coisas que Davi seu pai havia dedicado; e pôs a prata, e o ouro, e todos os vasos, nos tesouros da casa de Deus.

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God.

2 Então Salomão juntou em Jerusalém os anciãos de Israel, e todos os príncipes das tribos, os cabeças das famílias dos filhos de Israel, para que trouxessem a arca do pacto do SENHOR da cidade de Davi, que é Sião.

And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel, and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion.

3 E juntaram-se ao rei todos os varões de Israel, à solenidade do mês sétimo.

And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 E vieram todos os anciãos de Israel, e tomaram os levitas a arca:

And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,

5 E levaram a arca, e o tabernáculo do testemunho, e todos os vasos do santuário que estavam no tabernáculo: os sacerdotes e os levitas os levaram.

And brought it in, together with all the furniture of the tabernacle. And the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 E o rei Salomão, e toda a congregação de Israel que se havia a ele reunido diante da arca, sacrificaram ovelhas e bois, que pela abundância não se puderam contar nem numerar.

And king Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, and all that were gathered together before the ark, sacrificed rams, and oxen without number: so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 E os sacerdotes meteram a arca do pacto do SENHOR em seu lugar, no compartimento interno da casa, no lugar santíssimo, sob as asas dos querubins:

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims:

8 Pois os querubins estendiam as asas sobre o assento da arca, e cobriam os querubins por encima assim a arca como suas barras.

So that the cherubims spread their wings over the place, in which the ark was set, and covered the ark itself and its staves.

9 E fizeram sair fora as barras, de modo que se vissem as cabeças das barras da arca diante do compartimento interno, mas não se viam desde fora: e ali estiveram até hoje.

Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day.

10 No arca nada havia, a não serem as duas tábuas que Moisés havia posto em Horebe, com as quais o SENHOR havia feito aliança com os filhos de Israel, depois que saíram do Egito.

And there was nothing else in the ark but the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the children of Israel, at their coming out of Egypt.

11 E quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário, (porque todos os sacerdotes que se acharam haviam sido santificados, e não guardavam suas vezes;

Now when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, (for all the priests that could be found there, mere sanctified: and as yet at that time the courses and orders of the ministries were not divided among them, )

12 E os levitas cantores, todos os de Asafe, os de Hemã, e os de Jedutum, juntamente com seus filhos e seus irmãos, vestidos de linho fino, estavam com címbalos e saltérios e harpas ao oriente do altar; e com eles cento vinte sacerdotes que tocavam trombetas);

Both the Levites and the singing men, that is, both they that were under Asaph, and they that were under Heman, and they that were under Idithun, with their sons, and their brethren, clothed with fine linen, sounded with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing on the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests, sounding with trumpets.

13 Soavam, pois, as trombetas, e cantavam com a voz todos a uma, para louvar e confessar ao SENHOR: e quando levantavam a voz com trombetas e címbalos e instrumentos de música, quando louvavam ao SENHOR, dizendo: Porque é bom, porque sua misericórdia é para sempre; então a casa, [isto é], a casa do SENHOR, se encheu de uma nuvem.

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 E os sacerdotes não podiam ficar em pé para ministrar, por causa da nuvem; porque a glória do SENHOR havia enchido a casa de Deus.

Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
