II Livro das Crônicas 5

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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, which he placed in the treasuries 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 After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.
3 Todos os israelitas reuniram-se junto do rei para a festa: era o sétimo mês.	3 And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on 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 elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried 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 they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, 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 Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for 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 to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim,
8 Os querubins estendiam as asas sobre o lugar da arca e cobriam-na, assim como os seus varais.	8 so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.
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 But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present 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, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from Egypt.
11 Quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário - porque os sacerdotes presentes tinham tomado parte na cerimônia sem observar a ordem de classes;	11 And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been 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 with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out 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 And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” 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 Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
