II Livro das Crônicas 5

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Terminou-se, dessa maneira, tudo o que Salomão tinha mandado realizar para o templo do Senhor. Para aí, então, mandou transportar tudo o que Davi, seu pai, tinha consagrado, a prata, o ouro e todos os utensílios, e pôs tudo nos tesouros da casa de Deus.	1 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, congregou em Jerusalém os anciãos de Israel, os chefes das tribos e os chefes das famílias israelitas para transportarem de Sião, isto é, da cidade de Davi, a arca da aliança do Senhor.	2 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 Todos os israelitas reuniram-se junto do rei para a festa: era o sétimo mês.	3 And all the men of Israel came to the king in the solemn day of the seventh month.
4 Chegados que foram todos os anciãos de Israel, levantaram os levitas a arca,	4 And when all the ancients of Israel were come, the Levites took up the ark,
5 e transportaram-na com a tenda de reunião e todo o seu mobiliário de utensílios sagrados. Foram os sacerdotes levíticos que fizeram essa transladação.	5 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 O rei Salomão e toda a multidão de israelitas, reunida com ele diante da arca, imolaram tal quantidade de ovelhas e de bois que não se pôde avaliar o seu número.	6 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 Os sacerdotes levaram a arca da aliança do Senhor a seu lugar, no santuário do templo, o Santo dos Santos, sob as asas dos querubins.	7 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 Os querubins estendiam as asas sobre o lugar da arca e cobriam-na, assim como os seus varais.	8 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 Estes eram tão compridos que se podia ver suas extremidades diante do santuário; mas não se podiam divisá-los de fora. A arca permaneceu lá até o momento presente.	9 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 Nela não havia outra coisa senão duas tábuas que Moisés ali tinha colocado, no monte Horeb, quando o Senhor concluiu a aliança com os israelitas que acabavam de sair do Egito.	10 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 Quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário - porque os sacerdotes presentes tinham tomado parte na cerimônia sem observar a ordem de classes;	11 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 todos os levitas cantores, Asaf, Hemã, Iditum, seus filhos e irmãos, vestidos de linho fino, colocados a leste do altar, tocavam címbalos, cítaras e harpas, acompanhados de cento e vinte sacerdotes que tocavam trombetas -	12 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 no momento em que os tocadores de trombeta, e os cantores se uniam para celebrar numa mesma sinfonia o louvor do Senhor, no momento em que faziam ressoar o som das trombetas, dos címbalos e de outros instrumentos de música com este hino: Louvor ao Senhor porque ele é bom, porque sua misericórdia é eterna, nesse momento o templo, o templo do Senhor, encheu-se de uma nuvem tão espessa	13 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 que os sacerdotes não puderam permanecer ali para exercer sua função. A glória do Senhor enchia a casa de Deus.	14 Nor could the priests stand and minister by reason of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
