1 Reis 11

1 E o rei Salomão amou muitas mulheres estranhas, e isso além da filha de Pharaó, moabitas, ammonitas, idumeas, zidonias e hetheas.

King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].

2 Das nações de que o Senhor tinha dito aos filhos de Israel: Não entrareis a ellas, e ellas não entrarão a vós; d'outra maneira perverterão o vosso coração para seguirdes os seus deuses. A estas se uniu Salomão com amor.

He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”

3 E tinha setecentas mulheres, princezas, e trezentas concubinas: e suas mulheres lhe perverteram o seu coração.

Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].

4 Porque succedeu que, no tempo da velhice de Salomão, suas mulheres lhe perverteram o seu coração para seguir outros deuses: e o seu coração não era inteiro para com o Senhor seu Deus, como o coração de David, seu pae

By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.

5 Porque Salomão andou em seguimento de Astaroth, deus dos zidonios, e em seguimento de Milkom, a abominação dos ammonitas.

Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].

6 Assim fez Salomão o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor: e não perseverou em seguir ao Senhor, como David seu pae.

That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.

7 Então edificou Salomão um alto a Camos, a abominação dos moabitas, sobre o monte que está diante de Jerusalem, e a Molech, a abominação dos filhos d'Ammon.

On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].

8 E assim fez para com todas as suas mulheres estranhas; as quaes queimavam incenso e sacrificavam a seus deuses.

He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.

9 Pelo que o Senhor se indignou contra Salomão: porquanto desviara o seu coração do Senhor Deus de Israel, o qual duas vezes lhe apparecera.

Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,

10 E ácerca d'esta materia lhe tinha dado ordem que não andasse em seguimento d'outros deuses: porém não guardou o que o Senhor lhe ordenara.

11 Pelo que disse o Senhor a Salomão: Pois que houve isto em ti, que não guardaste o meu concerto e os meus estatutos que te mandei, certamente rasgarei de ti este reino, e o darei a teu servo.

and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.

12 Todavia nos teus dias não o farei, por amor de David teu pae: da mão de teu filho o rasgarei:

But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].

13 Porém todo o reino não rasgarei; uma tribu darei a teu filho, por amor de meu servo David, e por amor de Jerusalem, que tenho elegido.

But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”

14 Levantou pois o Senhor a Salomão um adversario, a Hadad, o idumeo: elle era da semente do rei em Edom.

Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.

15 Porque succedeu que, estando David em Edom, e subindo Joab, o chefe do exercito, a enterrar os mortos, feriu a todo o varão em Edom.

What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.

16 (Porque Joab ficou ali seis mezes com todo o Israel, até que destruiu a todo o varão em Edom.)

17 Hadad porém fugiu, elle e alguns homens idumeos, dos servos de seu pae, com elle, para ir ao Egypto: era porém Hadad um rapaz pequeno.

Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.

18 E levantaram-se de Midian, e vieram a Paran, e tomaram comsigo homens de Paran, e vieram ao Egypto a Pharaó, rei do Egypto, o qual lhe deu uma casa, e lhe prometteu sustento, e lhe deu uma terra.

They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.

19 E achou Hadad grande graça aos olhos de Pharaó: de maneira que a irmã de sua mulher lhe deu por mulher, a irmã de Tachpenes, a rainha.

The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.

20 E a irmã de Tachpenes lhe pariu a seu filho Genubath, o qual Tachpenes criou na casa de Pharaó: a Genubath estava na casa de Pharaó, entre os filhos de Pharaó.

Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.

21 Ouvindo pois Hadad no Egypto que David adormecera com seus paes, e que Joab, chefe do exercito, era morto, disse Hadad a Pharaó: Despede-me, para que vá á minha terra.

While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”

22 Porém Pharaó lhe disse: Pois que te falta comigo, que eis que procuras partir para a tua terra? E disse elle: Nada, mas todavia despede-me.

But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].

23 Tambem Deus lhe levantou outro adversario, a Rezon, filho de Eliada, que tinha fugido de seu senhor Hadad-ezer, rei de Zoba,

God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].

24 Contra quem tambem ajuntou homens, e foi capitão d'um esquadrão, quando David os matou: e indo-se para Damasco, habitaram ali, e reinaram em Damasco.

Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.

25 E foi adversario de Israel por todos os dias de Salomão, e isto além do mal que Hadad fazia: porque detestava a Israel, e reinava sobre a Syria.

All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.

26 Até Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, ephrateo, de Zereda, servo de Salomão (cuja mãe era mulher viuva, por nome Zerua), tambem levantou a mão contra o rei.

Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.

27 E esta foi a causa, por que levantou a mão contra o rei: Salomão tinha edificado a Millo, e cerrou as aberturas da cidade de David, seu pae.

This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].

28 E o homem Jeroboão era varão valente; e, vendo Salomão a este mancebo, que era laborioso, elle o poz sobre todo o cargo da casa de José.

Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.

29 Succedeu pois n'aquelle tempo que, saindo Jeroboão de Jerusalem, o encontrou o propheta Ahias, o silonita, no caminho, e elle se tinha vestido d'um vestido novo, e sós estavam os dois no campo.

One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,

30 E Ahias pegou no vestido novo que sobre si tinha, e o rasgou em doze pedaços.

which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.

31 E disse a Jeroboão: Toma para ti os dez pedaços, porque assim diz o Senhor Deus de Israel: Eis que rasgarei o reino da mão de Salomão, e a ti darei as dez tribus.

He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].

32 Porém elle terá uma tribu, por amor de David, meu servo, e por amor de Jerusalem, a cidade que elegi de todas as tribus de Israel.

Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].

33 Porque me deixaram, e se encurvaram a Astaroth, deus dos sidonios, a Camos, deus dos moabitas, e a Milkom, deus dos filhos d'Ammon; e não andaram pelos meus caminhos, para fazerem o que parece recto aos meus olhos, a saber, os meus estatutos e os meus juizos, como David, seu pae.

I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.

34 Porém não tomarei nada d'este reino da sua mão: mas por principe o ponho por todos os dias da sua vida, por amor de David, meu servo, a quem elegi, o qual guardou os meus mandamentos e os meus estatutos.

‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.

35 Mas da mão de seu filho tomarei o reino, e t'o darei a ti, as dez tribus d'elle.

But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].

36 E a seu filho darei uma tribu; para que David, meu servo, sempre tenha uma lampada diante de mim em Jerusalem, a cidade que elegi para pôr ali o meu nome.

I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].

37 E te tomarei, e reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma; e serás rei sobre Israel.

I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.

38 E ha de ser que, se ouvires tudo o que eu te mandar, e andares pelos meus caminhos, e fizeres o que é recto aos meus olhos, guardando os meus estatutos e os meus mandamentos, como fez David, meu servo, eu serei comtigo, e te edificarei uma casa firme, como edifiquei a David, e te darei Israel.

If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.

39 E por isso affligirei a semente de David; todavia não para sempre.

Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”

40 Pelo que Salomão procurou matar Jeroboão; porém Jeroboão se levantou, e fugiu para o Egypto, a Sisak, rei do Egypto: e esteve no Egypto até que Salomão morreu.

Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.

41 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Salomão, e a tudo quanto fez, e á sua sabedoria, porventura não está escripto no livro dos successos de Salomão?

[A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.

42 E o tempo que reinou Salomão em Jerusalem sobre todo o Israel foram quarenta annos.

He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.

43 E adormeceu Salomão com seus paes, e foi sepultado na cidade de David, seu pae: e Roboão, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.

Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
