< 2 Crônicas 9 >
1 E ouvindo a rainha de Saba a fama de Salomão, veiu a Jerusalem, provar a Salomão com enigmas, com um mui grande exercito, e camelos carregados d'especiarias, e oiro em abundancia e pedras preciosas; e veiu a Salomão, e fallou com elle de tudo o que tinha no seu coração.
And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.
2 E Salomão lhe declarou todas as suas palavras: e nenhuma coisa se occultou a Salomão, que lhe não declarasse.
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
3 Vendo pois a rainha de Saba a sabedoria de Salomão, e a casa que edificara;
And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 E as iguarias da sua mesa, e o assentar dos seus servos, e o estar dos seus creados, e os vestidos d'elles; e os seus copeiros, e os vestidos d'elles; e a sua subida pela qual elle subia á casa do Senhor, ella ficou como fóra de si.
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
5 Então disse ao rei: Foi verdade a palavra que ouvi na minha terra ácerca dos teus feitos e da tua sabedoria.
And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
6 Porém não cria as suas palavras, até que vim, e meus olhos o viram, e eis-que me não disseram a metade da grandeza da tua sabedoria: sobrepujaste á fama que ouvi
I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
7 Bemaventurados os teus homens, e bemaventurados estes teus servos, que estão sempre diante de ti, e ouvem a tua sabedoria!
Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Bemdito seja o Senhor teu Deus, que se agradou em ti para te pôr como rei sobre o seu throno, pelo Senhor teu Deus: porquanto teu Deus ama a Israel, para estabelecel-o perpetuamente; e poz-te por rei sobre elles, para fazeres juizo e justiça.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 E deu ao rei cento e vinte talentos d'oiro, e especiarias em grande abundancia, e pedras preciosas: e nunca houve taes especiarias, quaes a rainha de Saba deu ao rei Salomão.
And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
10 E tambem os servos d'Hurão, e os servos de Salomão, que de Ophir tinham trazido oiro, trouxeram madeira d'algum, e pedras preciosas.
And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
11 E fez o rei corredores de madeira d'algum, para a casa do Senhor, e para a casa do rei, como tambem harpas e alaudes para os cantores, quaes nunca d'antes se viram na terra de Judah.
And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.
12 E o rei Salomão deu á rainha de Saba tudo quanto lhe agradou, e o que lhe pediu, alem do que ella mesma trouxera ao rei: assim virou-se e foi para a sua terra, ella e os seus servos.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
13 E era o peso do oiro, que vinha em um anno a Salomão, seiscentos e sessenta e seis talentos d'oiro,
And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
14 Afóra do que os negociantes e mercadores traziam: tambem todos os reis da Arabia, e os principes da mesma terra traziam a Salomão oiro e prata.
Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Tambem fez Salomão duzentos pavezes d'oiro batido: para cada pavez mandou pesar seiscentos siclos d'oiro batido.
And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
16 Como tambem trezentos escudos d'oiro batido; para cada escudo mandou pezar trezentos siclos d'oiro: e Salomão os poz na casa do bosque do Libano.
And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.
17 Fez mais o rei um grande throno de marfim; e o cobriu d'oiro puro.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 E o throno tinha seis degráus, e um estrado d'oiro, pegado ao throno, e encostos d'ambas as bandas no logar do assento: e dois leões estavam junto aos encostos.
And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:
19 E doze leões estavam ali d'ambas as bandas, sobre os seis degraus: outro tal se não fez em nenhum reino.
Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
20 Tambem todos os vasos de beber do rei Salomão eram d'oiro, e todos os vasos da casa do bosque do Libano, d'oiro puro: a prata reputava-se por nada nos dias de Salomão.
And all the vessels of the king’s table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.
21 Porque, indo os navios do rei com os servos d'Hurão, a Tharsis, tornavam os navios de Tharsis, uma vez em tres annos, e traziam oiro e prata, marfim, e bugios, e pavões.
For the king’s ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Assim excedeu o rei Salomão todos os reis da terra, em riqueza e sabedoria.
And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
23 E todos os reis da terra procuravam ver o rosto de Salomão, para ouvirem a sua sabedoria, que Deus lhe dera no seu coração.
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.
24 E elles traziam cada um o seu presente, vasos d'oiro, e vestidos, armaduras, e especiarias, cavallos e mulos: cada coisa d'anno em anno.
And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
25 Teve tambem Salomão quatro mil estrebarias de cavallos e carros, e doze mil cavalleiros: e pôl-os nas cidades dos carros, e com o rei em Jerusalem.
And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
26 E dominava sobre todos os reis, desde o rio até á terra dos philisteos, e até ao termo do Egypto.
And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 Tambem o rei fez que houvesse prata em Jerusalem como pedras, e cedros em tanta abundancia como as figueiras bravas que ha pelas campinas.
And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
28 E do Egypto e de todas aquellas terras traziam cavallos a Salomão.
And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
29 Os mais successos pois de Salomão, tanto os primeiros como os ultimos, porventura não estão escriptos no livro das fallas de Nathan, o propheta, e na prophecia d'Ahias, o silonita, e nas visões de Iddo, o vidente, ácerca de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
30 E reinou Salomão em Jerusalem quarenta annos sobre todo o Israel.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 E dormiu Salomão com seus paes, e o sepultaram na cidade de David seu pae: e Roboão, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
