1 Reis 1
1 Sendo pois o rei David já velho, e entrado em dias, cobriam-n'o de vestes, porém não aquecia.
King David had grown old and couldn't keep warm in bed however many blankets they used to cover him.
2 Então disseram-lhe os seus servos: Busquem para o rei meu senhor uma moça virgem, que esteja perante o rei, e tenha cuidado d'elle: e durma no seu seio, para que o rei meu senhor aqueça.
So his officials suggested, “Let a search be made on behalf of Your Majesty for a young virgin to serve you and look after you. She can lie next to you and keep you warm.”
3 E buscaram por todos os termos de Israel uma moça formosa: e acharam a Abisag, sunamita; e a trouxeram ao rei.
So they searched the whole country of Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag from the town of Shunem and took her to the king.
4 E era a moça sobre maneira formosa: e tinha cuidado do rei, e o servia; porém o rei não a conheceu.
She was very beautiful, and she looked after the king, attending to his needs, but he did not have sex with her.
5 Então Adonias, filho d'Haggith, se levantou, dizendo: Eu reinarei. E preparou carros, e cavalleiros, e cincoenta homens, que corressem diante d'elle.
Adonijah, son of Haggith, was busy promoting himself, saying “I'm going to be king!” He arranged chariots and horsemen for himself, and fifty men to run ahead of him.
6 E nunca seu pae o tinha contrariado, dizendo: Porque fizeste assim? E era elle tambem mui formoso de parecer; e Haggith o parira depois de Absalão.
(Never in his life had his father corrected him. He'd never asked him, “Why did you do that?” He was also very good-looking, and had been born after Absalom.)
7 E tinha intelligencia com Joab, filho de Zeruia, e com Abiathar o sacerdote; os quaes o ajudavam, seguindo a Adonias.
Adonijah discussed his plan with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, who agreed to support him.
8 Porém Zadok o sacerdote, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e Nathan, o propheta, e Simei, e Rei, e os valentes que David tinha, não estavam com Adonias.
But Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David's bodyguard were not on Adonijah's side.
9 E matou Adonias ovelhas, e vaccas, e bestas cevadas, junto á pedra de Zoheleth, que está junto á fonte de Rogel: e convidou a todos os seus irmãos, os filhos do rei, e a todos os homens de Judah, servos do rei
Adonijah invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and the king's officials of Judah, to come to the stone of Zoheleth, which is near En-rogel, where he sacrificed sheep, cattle and fattened calves.
10 Porém a Nathan, propheta, e a Benaia, e aos valentes, e a Salomão, seu irmão, não convidou.
But he didn't invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, David's bodyguard, or his brother Solomon.
11 Então fallou Nathan a Bath-seba, mãe de Salomão, dizendo: Não ouviste que Adonias, filho de Haggith, reina? e que nosso senhor David não o sabe
Nathan went to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, and asked her, “Haven't you heard that Adonijah, son of Haggith, has become king, and His Majesty King David doesn't even know?
12 Vem pois agora, e deixa-me dar-te um conselho, para que salves a tua vida, e a de Salomão teu filho.
Let me give you some advice so you can save your life, and that of your son Solomon.
13 Vae, e entra ao rei David, e dize-lhe: Não juraste tu, rei senhor meu, á tua serva, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno? porque pois reina Adonias?
Go immediately to King David and ask him, ‘Didn't Your Majesty swear to me, your servant, saying, Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne? So why is Adonijah saying he's king?’
14 Eis que, estando tu ainda ahi fallando com o rei, eu tambem entrarei depois de ti, e acabarei as tuas palavras.
Then I'll come in while you're still there talking with the king and I'll confirm what you're saying.”
15 E entrou Bath-seba ao rei na recamara; e o rei era mui velho: e Abisag, a sunamita, servia ao rei.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old and Abishag was looking after him.
16 E Bath-seba inclinou a cabeça, e se prostrou perante o rei: e disse o rei: Que tens?
Bathsheba bowed low in respect. He asked her, “What is it that you want?”
17 E ella lhe disse: Senhor meu, tu juraste á tua serva pelo Senhor teu Deus, dizendo: Salomão, teu filho, reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno.
She replied, “Your Majesty, you swore to me, your servant, by the Lord your God, ‘Your son Solomon will definitely be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
18 E agora eis que Adonias reina: e agora, ó rei meu senhor, tu não o sabes.
But now Adonijah has become king and Your Majesty doesn't even know.
19 E matou vaccas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundancia, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e a Joab, general do exercito, mas a teu servo Salomão não convidou.
He has sacrificed plenty of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the army commander. But he didn't invite your servant Solomon.
20 Porém tu, ó rei meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti, para que lhes declares quem se assentará sobre o throno do rei meu senhor, depois d'elle.
Now, Your Majesty, everyone in Israel is watching to see who you're going to say will be the next king.
21 D'outro modo succederá que, quando o rei meu senhor dormir com seus paes, eu e Salomão meu filho seremos os peccantes.
If you don't do anything, as soon as Your Majesty dies, I and my son Solomon will be considered traitors…”
22 E, estando ella ainda fallando com o rei, eis que entra o propheta Nathan.
Right then, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
23 E o fizeram saber ao rei, dizendo: Eis ali está o propheta Nathan. E entrou á presença do rei, e prostrou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
The king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” Nathan went in to see the king. He bowed down with his face to the ground.
24 E disse Nathan: Ó rei meu senhor, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará sobre o meu throno?
Nathan asked the king, “Your Majesty, you must have announced, ‘Adonijah will be king after me and will sit on my throne.’
25 Porque hoje desceu, e matou vaccas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundancia, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e aos capitães do exercito, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e eis que estão comendo e bebendo perante elle: e dizem: Viva o rei Adonias!
For today he has gone and sacrificed many cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and he has invited all the king's sons, the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. Right now they are eating and drinking with him, shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
26 Porém a mim, sendo eu teu servo, e a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada, e a Salomão, teu servo, não convidou.
But he didn't invite me, your servant, or Zadok the priest, or Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, or your son Solomon.
27 Foi feito isto da parte do rei meu senhor? e não fizeste saber a teu servo quem se assentaria no throno do rei meu senhor depois d'elle?
If Your Majesty did this, you certainly didn't inform your officials as to who is meant to sit on your throne as the next king.”
28 E respondeu o rei David, e disse: Chamae-me a Bath-seba, E ella entrou á presença do rei; e estava em pé diante do rei.
King David replied, “Call Bathsheba for me.” Bathsheba came in and stood before the king.
29 Então jurou o rei e disse: Vive o Senhor, o qual remiu a minha alma de toda a angustia,
The king swore a vow, saying, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all kinds of trouble, just as I swore to you previously by the Lord the God of Israel,
30 Que, como te jurei pelo Senhor Deus de Israel, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno, em meu logar, assim o farei no dia d'hoje.
telling you Solomon your son will be the next king and he will sit on my throne instead of me—I swear I will do this today.”
31 Então Bath-seba se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e se prostrou diante do rei, e disse: Viva o rei David meu senhor para sempre!
Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, honoring the king and said, “May Your Majesty King David live forever.”
32 E disse o rei David: Chamae-me a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o propheta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada. E entraram á presença do rei.
Then King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada.” When they arrived,
33 E o rei lhes disse: Tomae comvosco os servos de vosso senhor, e fazei subir a meu filho Salomão na mula que é minha; e fazei-o descer a Gihon.
the king told them, “Take the king's officials with you, and have them put Solomon on my own mule and lead him down to the Gihon Spring.
34 E Zadok, o sacerdote, com Nathan, o propheta, ali o ungirão rei sobre Israel: então tocareis a trombeta, e direis: Viva o rei Salomão!
There have Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king of Israel. Blow the trumpet and shout out, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
35 Então subireis apoz elle, e virá e se assentará no meu throno, e elle reinará em meu logar: porque tenho ordenado que elle seja guia sobre Israel e sobre Judah.
Then follow him back up, and have him come and sit on my throne. He is to be king instead of me. I am placing him in charge as ruler of Israel and Judah.”
36 Então Benaia, filho de Joiada, respondeu ao rei, e disse: Amen: assim o diga o Senhor Deus do rei meu senhor.
“Amen!” replied Benaiah, son of Jehoiada. “May the Lord, the God of my lord the king, confirm this!
37 Como o Senhor foi com o rei meu senhor, assim o seja com Salomão, e faça que o seu throno seja maior do que o throno do rei David meu senhor.
In the same way the Lord was with my lord the king may he be with Solomon, and may he make his reign even greater than the reign of my lord King David.”
38 Então desceu Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o propheta, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e os cheretheos, e os peletheos, e fizeram montar a Salomão na mula do rei David, e o levaram a Gihon.
Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, together with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went and placed Solomon on King David's mule, and led him down to the Gihon Spring.
39 E Zadok, o sacerdote tomou o vaso do azeite do tabernaculo, e ungiu a Salomão: e tocaram a, trombeta, e todo o povo disse: Viva o rei Salomão!
Zadok the priest took the horn containing olive oil from the Tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!”
40 E todo o povo subiu apoz elle, e o povo tangia com gaitas, e alegrava-se com grande alegria: de maneira que com o seu clamor a terra retiniu.
Everyone followed him, playing flutes and celebrating so happily that the sound shook the earth.
41 E o ouviu Adonias, e todos os convidados que estavam com elle, que tinham acabado de comer: tambem Joab ouviu o sonido das trombetas, e disse: Porque ha tal ruido na cidade alvoroçada?
Adonijah and all his guests heard the noise as they were finishing eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked, “What's all this noise coming from the city?”
42 Estando elle ainda fallando, eis que vem Jonathan, filho de Abiathar, o sacerdote, e disse Adonias: Entra, porque és homem valente, e trarás boas novas.
While he was speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, suddenly arrived. “Come on in,” said Adonijah. “A good man like you must be bringing good news.”
43 E respondeu Jonathan, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor rei David constituiu rei a Salomão.
“Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “Our lord King David has made Solomon king!
44 E o rei enviou com elle a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o propheta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada, e aos cheretheos e aos peletheos: e o fizeram montar na mula do rei.
He sent Solomon to be anointed with Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites. They had him ride on the king's mule.
45 E Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o propheta, o ungiram rei em Gihon, e d'ali subiram alegres, e a cidade está alvoroçada: este é o clamor que ouviste.
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king at the Gihon Spring. Now they have returned, celebrating with shouts that echo round the city. That's the noise you're hearing.
46 E tambem Salomão está assentado no throno do reino.
On top of that, Solomon is sitting on the royal throne,
47 E tambem os servos do rei vieram abençoar a nosso senhor, o rei David, dizendo: Faça teu Deus que o nome de Salomão seja melhor do que o teu nome; e faça que o seu throno seja maior do que o teu throno. E o rei se inclinou no leito.
and the royal officials have also gone to voice their approval to our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon's reputation even more famous than your own, and may he make his reign greater than your reign.’ The king on his bed bowed his head,
48 E tambem disse o rei assim: Bemdito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje tem dado quem se assente no meu throno, e que os meus olhos o vissem.
and said, ‘Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! Today he has provided a successor to sit on my throne, and I have been privileged to see it.’”
49 Então estremeceram e se levantaram todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias: e cada um se foi ao seu caminho.
When all of the guests who were supporting Adonijah heard this they shook with fear. They got up and rushed out in different directions.
50 Porém Adonias temeu a Salomão: e levantou-se, e foi, e pegou dos cornos do altar.
Adonijah was terrified of Solomon, so he ran off. He went and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
51 E fez-se saber a Salomão, dizendo: Eis que Adonias teme ao rei Salomão: porque eis que pegou dos cornos do altar, dizendo: Jure-me hoje o rei Salomão que não matará a seu servo á espada.
Solomon was told, “Adonijah is terrified of Your Majesty. He has grabbed hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear today that he won't kill me, his servant!’”
52 E disse Salomão: Se fôr homem de bem, nem um de seus cabellos cairá em terra: porém, se se achar n'elle maldade, morrerá.
Solomon replied, “If he is an honorable man, not one hair of his will fall to the ground. But if he shows himself to be evil, he will die.”
53 E enviou o rei Salomão, e o fizeram descer do altar; e veiu, e prostrou-se perante o rei Salomão, e Salomão lhe disse: Vae para tua casa.
King Solomon had Adonijah brought down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who told him, “Go home.”
