1 Kings 1
1 When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
Agora o rei David era velho e avançado em anos; e eles o cobriam com roupas, mas ele não conseguia se manter aquecido.
2 So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
Por isso seus servos lhe disseram: “Que uma jovem virgem seja procurada por meu senhor, o rei”. Que ela fique diante do rei, e o acaricie; e que ela se deite em seu seio, para que meu senhor, o rei, se mantenha quente”.
3 [The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
Então eles procuraram por uma bela jovem em todas as fronteiras de Israel, e encontraram Abishag, a sunamita, e a trouxeram ao rei.
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
A jovem era muito bonita; e ela estimava o rei e o servia; mas o rei não a conhecia intimamente.
5 [After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
Então Adonijah, o filho de Haggith, exaltou-se, dizendo: “Eu serei rei”. Em seguida, preparou-lhe carruagens e cavaleiros, e cinqüenta homens para correr diante dele.
Seu pai não o havia desagradado em nenhum momento ao dizer: “Por que você fez isso?” e ele também era um homem muito bonito; e nasceu depois de Absalom.
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
Ele conferiu com Joab o filho de Zeruiah e com Abiathar o sacerdote; e eles seguiram Adonijah e o ajudaram.
8 But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.
Mas Zadoque, o sacerdote, Benaia, filho de Jeoiada, Nathan, o profeta, Shimei, Rei, e os homens poderosos que pertenciam a Davi, não estavam com Adonias.
9 One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
Adonias matou ovelhas, gado e gordos pela pedra de Zoheleth, que está ao lado de En Rogel; e chamou todos os seus irmãos, os filhos do rei e todos os homens de Judá, os servos do rei;
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
mas não chamou Natã, o profeta, e Benaías, e os homens poderosos, e Salomão, seu irmão.
11 Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
Então Nathan falou com Betsabá, a mãe de Salomão, dizendo: “Você não ouviu que Adonijah, o filho de Haggith, reina, e David, nosso senhor, não o sabe?
12 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
Agora, portanto, venha, por favor, deixe-me aconselhá-lo, para que você possa salvar sua própria vida e a vida de seu filho Salomão.
13 Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
Ide ao rei David e dizei-lhe: 'Não juraste, meu senhor, o rei, a teu servo, dizendo: “Certamente Salomão, teu filho reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará no meu trono? Por que, então, Adonias reina?
14 Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
Eis que, enquanto você ainda estiver falando com o rei, eu também irei atrás de você e confirmarei suas palavras”.
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
Bathsheba foi até o rei em seu quarto. O rei era muito velho; e Abishag, o Shunammite, estava servindo ao rei.
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
Betsabá fez uma vénia e mostrou respeito ao rei. O rei disse: “O que você gostaria?”.
17 She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
Ela lhe disse: “Meu senhor, você jurou por Javé seu Deus a seu servo: 'Certamente Salomão, seu filho reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará no meu trono'.
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
Agora, eis que Adonias reina; e vós, meu senhor, o rei, não o sabeis.
19 He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
Ele matou gado, gordos e ovelhas em abundância, e chamou todos os filhos do rei, Abiatar, o sacerdote, e Joab, o capitão do exército; mas ele não chamou Salomão de seu servo.
20 Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
Vós, rei meu senhor, os olhos de todo Israel estão sobre vós, para que lhes digais quem se sentará no trono do rei meu senhor depois dele.
21 If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
Otherwise acontecerá, quando meu senhor o rei dormir com seus pais, que eu e meu filho Salomão seremos considerados criminosos”.
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
Eis que, enquanto ela ainda falava com o rei, Nathan, o profeta, entrou.
23 The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.
Eles disseram ao rei, dizendo: “Eis Nathan, o profeta”! Quando ele chegou diante do rei, ele se curvou diante do rei com o rosto no chão.
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
Nathan disse: “Meu senhor, rei, você já disse: 'Adonias reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará no meu trono...'
25 [I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
Pois ele desceu hoje, e matou gado, gordos e ovelhas em abundância, e chamou todos os filhos do rei, os capitães do exército, e Abiathar, o sacerdote. Eis que eles estão comendo e bebendo diante dele, e dizendo: 'Viva o rei Adonias!
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
Mas ele não me chamou, nem mesmo a mim seu servo, Zadoque o sacerdote, Benaia o filho de Jehoiada, e seu servo Salomão.
27 Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
Isto foi feito por meu senhor, o rei, e você não mostrou a seus servos que deveriam sentar-se no trono de meu senhor, o rei, depois dele”?
28 Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
Então o rei David respondeu: “Chamem-me a Bathsheba”. Ela veio à presença do rei e se apresentou diante do rei.
29 Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
O rei fez um voto e disse: “Como vive Javé, que redimiu minha alma de toda adversidade,
most certamente como eu jurei a você por Javé, o Deus de Israel, dizendo: 'Certamente Salomão, seu filho, reinará depois de mim, e se sentará no meu trono no meu lugar;' certamente farei isso hoje”.
31 Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
Então Betsabá se curvou com o rosto na terra e mostrou respeito ao rei, e disse: “Que meu senhor, o rei Davi, viva para sempre!
32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
O rei David disse: “Chame-me Zadok, o sacerdote, Nathan, o profeta, e Benaia, o filho de Jehoiada”. Eles vieram perante o rei.
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
O rei disse-lhes: “Levai convosco os servos de vosso senhor e fazei com que Salomão, meu filho, monte em minha própria mula e o traga a Gihon”.
34 There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
Let Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o profeta, ungiram-no ali rei sobre Israel. Toca a trombeta e diz: “Viva o rei Salomão!
35 Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
Então suba atrás dele, e ele virá e se sentará no meu trono; pois ele será rei em meu lugar. Eu o nomeei príncipe sobre Israel e sobre Judá”.
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
Benaiah, o filho de Jehoiada, respondeu ao rei, e disse: “Amém. Que Yahweh, o Deus de meu senhor, o rei, o diga.
37 King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
Assim como Javé tem estado com meu senhor, o rei, assim também ele possa estar com Salomão, e tornar seu trono maior do que o trono de meu senhor, o rei Davi”.
38 So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
Então Zadok o padre, Nathan o profeta, Benaiah o filho de Jehoiada, e os queretitas e os peletitas desceram e mandaram Salomão montar na mula do rei Davi, e o trouxeram a Gihon.
39 There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
Zadok, o sacerdote, tirou o chifre de óleo da Tenda, e ungiu Salomão. Eles sopraram a trombeta; e todo o povo disse: “Viva o rei Salomão”!
40 Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
Todas as pessoas vieram atrás dele, e as pessoas encanadas com tubos, e se alegraram com grande alegria, de modo que a terra tremeu com seu som.
41 When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”
Adonijah e todos os convidados que estavam com ele ouviram enquanto terminavam de comer. Quando Joab ouviu o som da trombeta, ele disse: “Por que este barulho da cidade está em alvoroço?”.
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
Enquanto ele ainda falava, eis que veio Jonathan, filho do sacerdote Abiathar; e Adonijah disse: “Entre; pois você é um homem digno, e traga boas novas”.
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
Jonathan respondeu a Adonijah: “Certamente nosso senhor, o rei David, fez de Salomão rei.
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
O rei enviou com ele Zadoque, o sacerdote, Nathan, o profeta, Benaia, filho de Jeoiada, e os queretitas e os peletitas; e eles o fizeram cavalgar na mula do rei.
45 They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
Zadoque, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o profeta, ungiram-no rei em Gihon. Eles subiram de lá regozijando-se, de modo que a cidade tocou novamente. Este é o barulho que vocês ouviram.
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
Também, Salomão senta-se no trono do reino.
47 Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
Além disso, os servos do rei vieram para abençoar nosso senhor, o rei Davi, dizendo: 'Que vosso Deus faça o nome de Salomão melhor que vosso nome, e faça seu trono maior que vosso trono'; e o rei se inclinou sobre a cama.
48 Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
Também assim disse o rei: 'Bendito seja Javé, o Deus de Israel, que hoje deu um para sentar-se no meu trono, meus olhos até mesmo vendo-o'”.
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
Todos os convidados de Adonijah tiveram medo, e se levantaram, e cada um seguiu seu caminho.
50 Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
Adonijah teve medo por causa de Salomão; e ele se levantou, e foi, e se agarrou aos chifres do altar.
51 But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
Foi dito a Salomão: “Eis que Adonias teme o rei Salomão; pois eis que ele está pendurado nos chifres do altar, dizendo: 'Que o rei Salomão me jure primeiro que não matará seu servo com a espada'”.
52 Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
Salomão disse: “Se ele se mostrar um homem digno, nem um fio de cabelo seu cairá na terra; mas se a maldade for encontrada nele, ele morrerá”.
53 So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
Então o rei Salomão enviou, e eles o trouxeram do altar. Ele veio e se curvou diante do rei Salomão; e Salomão lhe disse: “Vá para sua casa”.
