1 Reis 1

1 Sendo pois o rei David já velho, e entrado em dias, cobriam-n'o de vestes, porém não aquecia.

Now King David was old and far on in years; and though they put covers over him, his body was cold.

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 servants said to him, Let search be made for a young virgin for my lord the king, to take care of him and be waiting on him; and you may take her in your arms, and so my lord the king will be warm.

3 E buscaram por todos os termos de Israel uma moça formosa: e acharam a Abisag, sunamita; e a trouxeram ao rei.

So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, 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.

Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection 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.

Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before 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.

Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.

7 E tinha intelligencia com Joab, filho de Zeruia, e com Abiathar o sacerdote; os quaes o ajudavam, seguindo a Adonias.

And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.

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, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.

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

Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:

10 Porém a Nathan, propheta, e a Benaia, e aos valentes, e a Salomão, seu irmão, não convidou.

But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.

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

Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?

12 Vem pois agora, e deixa-me dar-te um conselho, para que salves a tua vida, e a de Salomão teu filho.

So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life 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?

Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?

14 Eis que, estando tu ainda ahi fallando com o rei, eu tambem entrarei depois de ti, e acabarei as tuas palavras.

And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

15 E entrou Bath-seba ao rei na recamara; e o rei era mui velho: e Abisag, a sunamita, servia ao rei.

Then Bath-sheba went into the king's room; now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was waiting on him.

16 E Bath-seba inclinou a cabeça, e se prostrou perante o rei: e disse o rei: Que tens?

And Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour. And he said, What is your desire?

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.

And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.

18 E agora eis que Adonias reina: e agora, ó rei meu senhor, tu não o sabes.

And now, see, Adonijah has made himself king without my lord's knowledge;

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.

And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.

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.

And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.

21 D'outro modo succederá que, quando o rei meu senhor dormir com seus paes, eu e Salomão meu filho seremos os peccantes.

For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.

22 E, estando ella ainda fallando com o rei, eis que entra o propheta Nathan.

And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

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.

And they said to the king, Here is Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he went down on his face on the earth.

24 E disse Nathan: Ó rei meu senhor, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará sobre o meu throno?

And Nathan said, O my lord king, have you said, Adonijah is to be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom?

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!

Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to 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 me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.

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?

Has this thing been done by my lord the king, without giving word to your servants who was to be placed on my lord the king's seat after him?

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.

Then King David in answer said, Send for Bath-sheba to come to me. And she came in and took her place before the king.

29 Então jurou o rei e disse: Vive o Senhor, o qual remiu a minha alma de toda a angustia,

And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,

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.

As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.

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!

Then Bath-sheba went down on her face on the earth before the king giving him honour, and said, May my lord King David go on living for ever.

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.

And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

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.

And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and put Solomon my son on my beast, yes, mine, and take him down to Gihon;

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!

And there let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him to make him king over Israel; and sounding the horn say, Long life to 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 come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom; for he is to be king in my place, and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 Então Benaia, filho de Joiada, respondeu ao rei, e disse: Amen: assim o diga o Senhor Deus do rei meu senhor.

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

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.

As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that 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.

So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down and put Solomon on King David's beast and took him to Gihon.

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!

And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to 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.

And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

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?

And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

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.

And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.

43 E respondeu Jonathan, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor rei David constituiu rei a Salomão.

And Jonathan, answering, said to Adonijah, Not so, but 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.

And he sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they put him on the king's beast:

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.

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.

46 E tambem Salomão está assentado no throno do reino.

And now Solomon is seated on the seat of the kingdom.

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 king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.

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.

Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.

49 Então estremeceram e se levantaram todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias: e cada um se foi ao seu caminho.

And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.

50 Porém Adonias temeu a Salomão: e levantou-se, e foi, e pegou dos cornos do altar.

And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.

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.

And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

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.

And Solomon said, If he is seen to be a man of good faith, not a hair of him will be touched; but if any wrongdoing is seen in him, he is to be put to death.

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.

So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
