1 Reis 5
1 E enviou Hirão, rei de Tiro, os seus servos a Salomão (porque ouvira que ungiram a Salomão rei em lugar de seu pai), porquanto Hirão sempre tinha amado a David.
Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.
2 Então Salomão enviou a Hirão, dizendo:
Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3 Bem sabes tu que David, meu pai, não pôde edificar uma casa ao nome do Senhor seu Deus, por causa da guerra com que o cercaram, até que o Senhor os pôs debaixo das plantas dos pés.
“You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.
4 Porém agora o Senhor meu Deus me tem dado descanço de todos os lados: adversário não há, nem algum mau encontro.
But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.
5 E eis que eu, meu Deus, intento edificar uma casa ao nome do Senhor, como falou o Senhor a David, meu pai, dizendo: Teu filho, que porei em teu lugar no teu trono, ele edificará uma casa ao meu nome.
For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’
6 Dá ordem pois agora que do líbano 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 ninguém há que saiba cortar a madeira como os sidônios.
Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”
7 E aconteceu que, ouvindo Hirão as palavras de Salomão, muito se alegrou, e disse: bendito seja hoje o Senhor, que deu a David um filho sábio sobre este tão grande povo.
Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”
8 E enviou Hirão a Salomão, dizendo: Ouvi o que me mandaste dizer. Eu farei toda a tua vontade acerca dos cedros e acerca das faias.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.
9 Os meus servos os levarão desde o líbano até ao mar, e eu os farei conduzir em jangadas pelo mar até ao lugar que me designares, e ali os desamarrarei; e tu os tomarás: tu também farás a minha vontade, dando sustento à minha casa.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”
10 Assim deu Hirão a Salomão madeira de cedros e madeira de faias, conforme a toda a sua vontade.
And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.
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 ano em ano.
Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.
12 Deu pois o Senhor a Salomão sabedoria, como lhe tinha dito: e houve paz entre Hirão e Salomão, e ambos fizeram aliança.
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.
13 E o rei Salomão fez subir leva de gente dentre todo o Israel: e foi a leva de gente trinta mil homens.
And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.
14 E os enviou ao líbano, cada mês dez mil por suas vezes: um mês estavam no líbano, e dois meses cada um em sua casa: e Adoniram estava sobre a leva de gente.
And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.
15 Tinha também Salomão setenta mil que levavam as cargas, e oitenta mil que cortavam nas montanhas,
And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,
16 A fora os chefes dos oficiais de Salomão, os quais estavam sobre aquela obra, três mil e trezentos que davam as ordens ao povo que fazia aquela obra.
aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.
17 E mandou o rei que trouxessem pedras grandes, e pedras preciosas, pedras lavradas, para fundarem a casa.
And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.
18 E as lavravam os edificadores de Hirão e os giblitas: e preparavam a madeira e as pedras para edificar a casa.
And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.
