1 Reis 5
1 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.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, for Hiram was ever a devotee of David.
2 Então Salomão enviou a Hirão, dizendo:
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 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.
Thou know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
4 Porém agora o Senhor meu Deus me tem dado descanço de todos os lados: adversario não ha, nem algum mau encontro.
But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
5 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.
And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy place, he shall build the house for my name.
6 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.
Now therefore command thou that they cut for me cedar trees out of Lebanon. And my servants shall be with thy servants. And I will give thee wages for thy servants according to all that thou shall say, for thou know that there is not among us any that knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.
7 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.
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
8 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.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou have sent to me. I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 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.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that thou shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shall receive them. And thou shall accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.
10 Assim deu Hirão a Salomão madeira de cedros e madeira de faias, conforme a toda a sua vontade.
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
11 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.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil; thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
12 Deu pois o Senhor a Salomão sabedoria, como lhe tinha dito: e houve paz entre Hirão e Salomão, e ambos fizeram alliança.
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two made a league together.
13 E o rei Salomão fez subir leva de gente d'entre todo o Israel: e foi a leva de gente trinta mil homens.
And king Solomon raised a conscription out of all Israel, and the conscription was thirty thousand men.
14 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.
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses. They were in Lebanon a month, and at home two months. And Adoniram was over the men subject to task work.
15 Tinha tambem Salomão setenta mil que levavam as cargas, e oitenta mil que cortavam nas montanhas,
And Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were hewers in the mountains,
16 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.
besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work: three thousand and three hundred who bore rule over the people that labored in the work.
17 E mandou o rei que trouxessem pedras grandes, e pedras preciosas, pedras lavradas, para fundarem a casa.
And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with shaped stone.
18 E as lavravam os edificadores de Hirão e os giblitas: e preparavam a madeira e as pedras para edificar a casa.
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites fashioned them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
