1 Reis 1

1 Quando o rei Davi era velho, e de idade avançada, cobriam-lhe de roupas, mas não se aquecia.

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

2 Disseram-lhe portanto seus servos: Busquem a meu senhor o rei uma moça virgem, para que esteja diante do rei, e o abrigue, e durma a seu lado, e aquecerá a meu senhor o rei.

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 uma moça formosa por todo o termo de Israel, e acharam a Abisague sunamita, e trouxeram-na 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 a moça era formosa, a qual aquecia ao rei, e lhe servia: mas o rei nunca 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 de Hagite se levantou, dizendo: Eu reinarei. E preparou carros e cavaleiros, e cinquenta homens que corressem adiante dele.

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 seu pai nunca o entristeceu em todos seus dias com dizer-lhe: Por que fazes assim? E também este era de bela aparência; e havia o gerado 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 tratos com Joabe filho de Zeruia, e com Abiatar sacerdote, os quais ajudavam 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 Mas Zadoque sacerdote, e Benaia filho de Joiada, e Natã profeta, e Simei, e Reí, e todos os grandes de Davi, não seguiam a 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 matando Adonias ovelhas e vacas e animais engordados junto à penha de Zoelete, que está próxima da fonte de Rogel, convidou a todos seus irmãos os filhos do rei, e a todos os homens de Judá, 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 Mas não convidou a Natã profeta, nem a Benaia, nem aos grandes, nem a Salomão seu irmão.

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

11 E falou Natã a Bate-Seba mãe de Salomão, dizendo: Não ouviste que reina Adonias filho de Hagite, sem sabê-lo Davi nosso senhor?

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 toma meu conselho, para que guardes tua vida, e a vida de teu filho Salomão.

So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.

13 Vai, e entra ao rei Davi, e dize-lhe: Rei senhor meu, não juraste tu à tua serva, dizendo: Salomão teu filho reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará em meu trono? por que 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 E estando tu ainda falando com o rei, eu entrarei atrás de ti, e acabarei teus argumentos.

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 Então Bate-Seba entrou ao rei à câmara: e o rei era muito velho; e Abisague 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 Bate-Seba se inclinou, e fez reverência ao rei. E o rei disse: 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 ela lhe respondeu: Senhor meu, tu juraste à tua serva pelo SENHOR teu Deus, dizendo: Salomão teu filho reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará em meu trono;

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 eis que agora Adonias reina: e tu, meu senhor rei, agora não o soubeste.

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

19 Matou bois, e animais engordados, e muitas ovelhas, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e a Abiatar sacerdote, e a Joabe general do exército; mas a Salomão teu servo 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 Entretanto, rei senhor meu, os olhos de todo Israel estão sobre ti, para que lhes declares quem se há de sentar no trono de meu senhor o rei depois dele.

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 De outra sorte acontecerá, quando meu senhor o rei descansar com seus pais, que eu e meu filho Salomão seremos tidos por culpados.

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 ainda falando ela com o rei, eis que Natã profeta, que veio.

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

23 E deram aviso ao rei, dizendo: Eis que Natã profeta: o qual quando entrou ao rei, prostrou-se diante do rei inclinando seu rosto à 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 Natã: Rei senhor meu, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará em meu trono?

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 bois, e animais engordados, e muitas ovelhas, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e aos capitães do exército, e também a Abiatar sacerdote; e eis que, estão comendo e bebendo diante dele, e disseram: 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 Mas nem a mim teu servo, nem a Zadoque sacerdote, nem a Benaia filho de Joiada, nem a Salomão teu servo, 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 É este negócio ordenado por meu senhor o rei, sem haver declarado a teu servo quem se havia de sentar no trono de meu senhor o rei depois dele?

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 Então o rei Davi respondeu, e disse: Chamai-me a Bate-Seba. E ela entrou à presença do rei, e pôs-se 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 E o rei jurou, dizendo: Vive o SENHOR, que redimiu minha alma de toda angústia,

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

30 Que como eu te ei jurado pelo SENHOR Deus de Israel, dizendo: Teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará em meu trono em lugar meu; que assim o farei 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 Bate-Seba se inclinou ao rei, seu rosto à terra, e fazendo reverência ao rei, disse: Viva meu senhor o rei Davi 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 o rei Davi disse: Chamai-me a Zadoque sacerdote, e a Natã profeta, e a Benaia filho de Joiada. E eles entraram à 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: Tomai convosco os servos de vosso senhor, e fazei subir a Salomão meu filho em minha mula, e levai-o a Giom:

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 ali o ungirão Zadoque sacerdote e Natã profeta por rei sobre Israel; e tocareis trombeta, dizendo: 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 Depois ireis vós detrás dele, e virá e se sentará em meu trono, e ele reinará por mim; porque a ele ordenei para que seja príncipe sobre Israel e sobre Judá.

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: Amém. Assim o diga o SENHOR, Deus de meu senhor o rei.

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 Da maneira que o SENHOR foi com meu senhor o rei, assim seja com Salomão; e ele faça maior seu trono que o trono de meu senhor o rei Davi.

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 E desceu Zadoque sacerdote, e Natã profeta, e Benaia filho de Joiada, e os quereteus e os peleteus, e fizeram subir a Salomão na mula do rei Davi, e levaram-no a Giom.

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 tomando Zadoque sacerdote o chifre do azeite do tabernáculo, ungiu a Salomão: e tocaram trombeta, e disse todo o povo: 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 Depois subiu todo o povo depois dele, e cantava a gente com flautas, e faziam grandes alegrias, que parecia que a terra se fendia com o barulho deles.

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 ouviu-o Adonias, e todos os convidados que com ele estavam, quando já haviam acabado de comer. E ouvindo Joabe o som da trombeta, disse: Por que se alvoroça a cidade com estrondo?

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 ainda ele falando, eis que Jônatas, filho do sacerdote Abiatar, veio, ao qual Adonias disse: Entra, porque és homem digno, e trarás boas notícias.

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 Jônatas respondeu, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor, o rei Davi, 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 ele o sacerdote Zadoque o profeta Natã, Benaia, filho de Joiada, e também os quereteus e os peleteus, os quais lhe fizeram subir 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 o sacerdote Zadoque e o profeta Natã o ungiram em Giom como rei, e dali subiram alegres, e a cidade está cheia de alvoroço. Este é o barulho que ouvistes.

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 também Salomão se assentou no trono do reino.

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

47 E ainda os servos do rei vieram a bendizer ao nosso senhor, o rei Davi, dizendo: Deus faça o nome de Salomão melhor que o teu nome, e faça o seu trono maior que o teu. 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 também o rei falou assim: Bendito seja o SENHOR, Deus de Israel, que hoje deu quem se assente em meu trono, vendo-o meus olhos.

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 se estremeceram, e levantaram-se todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias, e foi-se cada um por seu caminho.

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

50 Mas Adonias, temendo da presença de Salomão, levantou-se e foi-se, e agarrou as pontas 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 foi feito saber a Salomão, dizendo: Eis que que Adonias tem medo do rei Salomão: pois agarrou as pontas do altar, dizendo: Jure-me hoje o rei Salomão que não matará à espada a seu servo.

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 Salomão disse: Se ele for virtuoso, nenhum de seus cabelos cairá em terra: mas se se achar mal nele, 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 trouxeram-no do altar; e ele veio, e inclinou-se ao rei Salomão. E Salomão lhe disse: Vai-te à 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.
