1 Kings 5
1 Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
E enviou Hirão, rei de Tyro, os seus servos a Salomão (porque ouvira que ungiram a Salomão rei em logar de seu pae), porquanto Hirão sempre tinha amado a David.
2 And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
Então Salomão enviou a Hirão, dizendo:
3 You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
Bem sabes tu que David, meu pae, não poude edificar uma casa ao nome do Senhor seu Deus, por causa da guerra com que o cercaram, até que o Senhor os poz debaixo das plantas dos pés.
4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
Porém agora o Senhor meu Deus me tem dado descanço de todos os lados: adversario não ha, nem algum mau encontro.
5 And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
E eis que eu, meu Deus, intento edificar uma casa ao nome do Senhor, como fallou o Senhor a David, meu pae, dizendo: Teu filho, que porei em teu logar no teu throno, elle edificará uma casa ao meu nome.
6 So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
Dá ordem pois agora que do Libano me cortem cedros, e os meus servos estarão com os teus servos, e eu te darei a soldada dos teus servos, conforme a tudo o que disseres; porque bem sabes tu que entre nós ninguem ha que saiba cortar a madeira como os sidonios.
7 And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
E aconteceu que, ouvindo Hirão as palavras de Salomão, muito se alegrou, e disse: Bemdito seja hoje o Senhor, que deu a David um filho sabio sobre este tão grande povo.
8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
E enviou Hirão a Salomão, dizendo: Ouvi o que me mandaste dizer. Eu farei toda a tua vontade ácerca dos cedros e ácerca das faias.
9 My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
Os meus servos os levarão desde o Libano até ao mar, e eu os farei conduzir em jangadas pelo mar até ao logar que me designares, e ali os desamarrarei; e tu os tomarás: tu tambem farás a minha vontade, dando sustento á minha casa.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
Assim deu Hirão a Salomão madeira de cedros e madeira de faias, conforme a toda a sua vontade.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
E Salomão deu a Hirão vinte mil coros de trigo, para sustento da sua casa, e vinte coros de azeite batido: isto dava Salomão a Hirão de anno em anno.
12 Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
Deu pois o Senhor a Salomão sabedoria, como lhe tinha dito: e houve paz entre Hirão e Salomão, e ambos fizeram alliança.
13 Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
E o rei Salomão fez subir leva de gente d'entre todo o Israel: e foi a leva de gente trinta mil homens.
14 And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
E os enviou ao Libano, cada mez dez mil por suas vezes: um mez estavam no Libano, e dois mezes cada um em sua casa: e Adoniram estava sobre a leva de gente.
15 Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
Tinha tambem Salomão setenta mil que levavam as cargas, e oitenta mil que cortavam nas montanhas,
16 In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
Afóra os chefes dos officiaes de Salomão, os quaes estavam sobre aquella obra, tres mil e trezentos que davam as ordens ao povo que fazia aquella obra.
17 By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
E mandou o rei que trouxessem pedras grandes, e pedras preciosas, pedras lavradas, para fundarem a casa.
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
E as lavravam os edificadores de Hirão e os giblitas: e preparavam a madeira e as pedras para edificar a casa.
