2 Crônicas 9
1 E ouvindo a rainha de Saba a fama de Salomão, veio a Jerusalém, provar a Salomão com enigmas, com um mui grande exército, e camelos carregados de especiarias, e ouro em abundância e pedras preciosas; e veio a Salomão, e falou com ele de tudo o que tinha no seu coração.
The queen who ruled [the] Sheba [area in Arabia] heard that Solomon had become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer]. She came with a large group of servants, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the things/topics in which she was interested.
2 E Salomão lhe declarou todas as suas palavras: e nenhuma coisa se ocultou a Salomão, que lhe não declarasse.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
3 Vendo pois a rainha de Saba a sabedoria de Salomão, e a casa que edificara;
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace,
4 E as iguarias da sua mesa, e o assentar dos seus servos, e o estar dos seus criados, e os vestidos deles; e os seus copeiros, e os vestidos deles; e a sua subida pela qual ele subia à casa do Senhor, ela ficou como fora de si.
she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw how his officials were seated at the table, their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be completely burned on the altar. She was extremely amazed.
5 Então disse ao rei: Foi verdade a palavra que ouvi na minha terra acerca dos teus feitos e da tua sabedoria.
She said to the king, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
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 à fama que ouvi
But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. You are [extremely wise and rich, ] more than what people told me.
7 Bem-aventurados os teus homens, e bem-aventurados estes teus servos, que estão sempre diante de ti, e ouvem a tua sabedoria!
The men who work for you are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
8 Bendito seja o Senhor teu Deus, que se agradou em ti para te pôr como rei sobre o seu trono, pelo Senhor teu Deus: porquanto teu Deus ama a Israel, para estabelece-lo perpetuamente; e poz-te por rei sobre eles, para fazeres juízo e justiça.
Praise Yahweh your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by appointing you to be the king of Israel for him. God has always loved the Israeli people, and desires to assist them forever, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
9 E deu ao rei cento e vinte talentos de ouro, e especiarias em grande abundância, e pedras preciosas: e nunca houve tais especiarias, quais a rainha de Saba deu ao rei Salomão.
Then the queen gave to Solomon about 4-1/2 tons of gold and a large amount of spices and gems. Never had King Solomon received more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
10 E também os servos de Hurão, e os servos de Salomão, que de Ophir tinham trazido ouro, trouxeram madeira de algum, e pedras preciosas.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her more than she had given to him. Then she and those who came with her returned to her own land. [In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, ] Hiram’s workers and Solomon’s workers brought gold from Ophir. They also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems. King Solomon [told his workers] to use that wood to make railings in the temple and in his palace and also to make harps and lyres for the musicians. That wood was the the finest wood that had ever been seen in Israel.
11 E fez o rei corredores de madeira de algum, para a casa do Senhor, e para a casa do rei, como também harpas e alaúdes para os cantores, quais nunca de antes se viram na terra de Judá.
12 E o rei Salomão deu à rainha de Saba tudo quanto lhe agradou, e o que lhe pediu, além do que ela mesma trouxera ao rei: assim virou-se e foi para a sua terra, ela e os seus servos.
13 E era o peso do ouro, que vinha em um ano a Salomão, seiscentos e sessenta e seis talentos de ouro,
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
14 A fora do que os negociantes e mercadores traziam: também todos os reis da Arábia, e os príncipes da mesma terra traziam a Salomão ouro e prata.
That was in addition to the [taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders. Also, the kings of Arabia and the governors of [the districts in] Israel brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Também fez Salomão duzentos pavezes de ouro batido: para cada pavez mandou pesar seiscentos siclos de ouro batido.
King Solomon’s [workers took this] gold [and] hammered [it] into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put almost 7-1/2 pounds of gold on each shield.
16 Como também trezentos escudos de ouro batido; para cada escudo mandou pesar trezentos siclos de ouro: e Salomão os pôs na casa do bosque do líbano.
His [workers] made 300 [smaller] shields. They covered each of them with almost 4 pounds of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Fez mais o rei um grande trono de marfim; e o cobriu de ouro puro.
His [workers] also made for him a large throne. [Part of] it was covered with [decorations made from] ivory and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
18 E o trono tinha seis degraus, e um estrado de ouro, pegado ao trono, e encostos de ambas as bandas no lugar do assento: e dois leões estavam junto aos encostos.
There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a gold footstool that was attached to the throne. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a [small statue of a] lion.
19 E doze leões estavam ali de ambas as bandas, sobre os seis degraus: outro tal se não fez em nenhum reino.
On the six steps there were twelve statues of lions, one on each side. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
20 Também todos os vasos de beber do rei Salomão eram de ouro, e todos os vasos da casa do bosque do líbano, de ouro puro: a prata reputava-se por nada nos dias de Salomão.
All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. [They did not make things from silver], because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
21 Porque, indo os navios do rei com os servos de Hurão, a Tharsis, tornavam os navios de Tharsis, uma vez em três anos, e traziam ouro e prata, marfim, e bugios, e pavões.
The king had a fleet of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
22 Assim excedeu o rei Salomão todos os reis da terra, em riqueza e sabedoria.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on the earth.
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.
Kings from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had enabled him to know.
24 E eles traziam cada um o seu presente, vasos de ouro, e vestidos, armaduras, e especiarias, cavalos e mulos: cada coisa de ano em ano.
All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons, or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
25 Teve também Salomão quatro mil estrebarias de cavalos e carros, e doze mil cavaleiros: e pô-los nas cidades dos carros, e com o rei em Jerusalém.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses. Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
26 E dominava sobre todos os reis, desde o rio até à terra dos philisteus, e até ao termo do Egito.
Solomon ruled over all the kings in the area from the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] to the border of Egypt [in the south].
27 Também o rei fez que houvesse prata em Jerusalém como pedras, e cedros em tanta abundância como as figueiras bravas que há pelas campinas.
[During the years that Solomon was] king, [he] caused silver to become as common in Jerusalem as stones; and he caused cedar trees in the foothills of Judah to become as plentiful as fig trees.
28 E do Egito e de todas aquelas terras traziam cavalos a Salomão.
Solomon’s agents brought horses from [the] Musri [area] and other places.
29 Os mais sucessos pois de Salomão, tanto os primeiros como os últimos, porventura não estão escritos no livro das falas de Nathan, o profeta, e na profecia d'Ahias, o silonita, e nas visões de Iddo, o vidente, acerca de Jeroboão, filho de Nebat
Lists of all the other things that Solomon did are recorded in the scrolls written by the prophet Nathan and by the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city], and in [the scroll in which were written] the visions that the prophet Iddo saw concerning [King] Jeroboam.
30 E reinou Salomão em Jerusalém quarenta anos sobre todo o Israel.
Solomon ruled from Jerusalem all of Israel for 40 years.
31 E dormiu Salomão com seus pais, e o sepultaram na cidade de David seu pai: e Roboão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
Then Solomon died and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
