1 Reis 10
1 E ouvindo a rainha de Saba a fama de Salomão, acerca do nome do Senhor, veio prova-lo por enigmas.
Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.
2 E veio a Jerusalém com um mui grande exército; com camelos carregados de especiarias, e muitíssimo ouro, e pedras preciosas: e veio a Salom o, e disse-lhe tudo quanto tinha no seu coração.
And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.
3 E Salomão lhe declarou todas as suas palavras: nenhuma coisa se escondeu ao rei, que não lhe declarasse.
And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.
4 Vendo pois a rainha de Saba toda a sabedoria de Salomão, e a casa que edificara,
Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
5 E a comida da sua mesa, e o assentar de seus servos, e o estar de seus criados, e os vestidos deles, e os seus copeiros, e a sua subida, pela qual subia à casa do Senhor, não houve mais espírito nela.
and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.
6 E disse ao rei: Foi verdade a palavra que ouvi na minha terra, das tuas coisas e da tua sabedoria.
And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,
7 E eu não cria naquelas palavras, até que vim, e os meus olhos o viram; eis que me não disseram metade; sobrepujaste em sabedoria e bens a fama que ouvi.
about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.
8 Bem-aventurados os teus homens, bem-aventurados estes teus servos, que estão sempre diante de ti, que ouvem a tua sabedoria!
Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.
9 Bendito seja o Senhor teu Deus, que teve agrado em ti, para te pôr no trono de Israel: porque o Senhor ama a Israel para sempre, por isso te estabeleceu rei, para fazeres juízo e justiça.
Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
10 E deu ao rei cento e vinte talentos de ouro, e muitíssimas especiarias, e pedras preciosas: nunca veio especiaria em tanta abundância, como a que a rainha de Saba deu ao rei Salomão.
Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 Também as naus d'Hirão, que de Ophir levavam ouro, traziam de Ophir muitíssima madeira de Almug, e pedras preciosas.
Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.
12 E desta madeira d'Almug fez o rei balaústres para a casa do Senhor, e para a casa do rei, como também harpas e alaúdes para os cantores: nunca veio tal madeira de Almug, nem se viu até o dia de hoje.
And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.
13 E o rei Salomão deu à rainha de Saba tudo quanto lhe pediu o seu desejo, de mais do que lhe deu, segundo a largueza do rei Salomão: então voltou e partiu para a sua terra, ela e os seus servos.
Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.
14 E era o peso do ouro que se trazia a Salomão cada ano seiscentos e sessenta e seis talentos de ouro;
Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
15 Além do dos negociantes, e do contrato dos especieiros, e de todos os reis da Arábia, e dos governadores da mesma terra.
aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.
16 Também o rei Salomão fez duzentos pavezes de ouro batido; seiscentos siclos de ouro mandou pesar para cada pavez;
Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.
17 Assim mesmo trezentos escudos de ouro batido; três arratéis de ouro mandou pesar para cada escudo; e o rei os pôs na casa do bosque do líbano.
And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Fez mais o rei um grande trono de marfim, e o cobriu de ouro puríssimo.
Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.
19 Tinha este trono seis degraus, e era a cabeça do trono por detraz redonda, e de ambas as bandas tinha encostos até ao assento: e dois leões estavam junto aos encostos.
The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,
20 Também doze leões estavam ali sobre os seis degraus de ambas as bandas: nunca se tinha feito obra semelhante em nenhum dos reinos.
with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.
21 Também todos os vasos de beber do rei Salomão eram de ouro, e todos os vasos da casa do bosque do líbano eram de ouro puro: não havia neles prata; porque nos dias de Salomão não tinha estimação alguma.
Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.
22 Porque o rei tinha no mar as naus de Tarsis, com as naus de Hirão: uma vez em três anos tornavam as naus de Tarsis, e traziam ouro e prata, marfim, e bugios, e pavões.
For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.
23 Assim o rei Salomão excedeu a todos os reis da terra: tanto em riquezas como em sabedoria.
And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 E toda a terra buscava a face de Salomão, para ouvir a sua sabedoria, que Deus tinha posto no seu coração.
And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.
25 E traziam cada um por seu presente vasos de prata e vasos de ouro, e vestidos, e armaduras, e especiarias, cavalos e mulas: cada coisa de ano em ano.
And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
26 Também ajuntou Salomão carros e cavaleiros, de sorte que tinha mil e quatrocentos carros e doze mil cavaleiros: e os levou às cidades dos carros, e junto ao rei em Jerusalém.
And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 E fez o rei que em Jerusalém houvesse prata como pedras: e cedros em abundância como figueiras bravas que estão nas planícies.
And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.
28 E tiravam cavalos do Egito para Salomão: e às manadas as recebiam os mercadores do rei, cada manada por um certo preço.
And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.
29 E subia e saía o carro do Egito por seiscentos siclos de prata, e o cavalo por cento e cincoênta: e assim, por meio deles, os tiravam para todos os reis dos heteus e para os reis da Síria.
Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.
