1 Reis 1
1 Quando o rei Davi era velho, e de idade avançada, cobriam-lhe de roupas, mas não se aquecia.
When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
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 they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
3 E buscaram uma moça formosa por todo o termo de Israel, e acharam a Abisague sunamita, e trouxeram-na ao rei.
[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
4 E a moça era formosa, a qual aquecia ao rei, e lhe servia: mas o rei nunca a conheceu.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations 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.
[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
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.
7 E tinha tratos com Joabe filho de Zeruia, e com Abiatar sacerdote, os quais ajudavam a Adonias.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
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, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support 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:
One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
10 Mas não convidou a Natã profeta, nem a Benaia, nem aos grandes, nem a Salomão seu irmão.
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
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?
Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
12 Vem pois agora, e toma meu conselho, para que guardes tua vida, e a vida de teu filho Salomão.
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
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?
Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
14 E estando tu ainda falando com o rei, eu entrarei atrás de ti, e acabarei teus argumentos.
Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
15 Então Bate-Seba entrou ao rei à câmara: e o rei era muito velho; e Abisague sunamita servia ao rei.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
16 E Bate-Seba se inclinou, e fez reverência ao rei. E o rei disse: Que tens?
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
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;
She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
18 E eis que agora Adonias reina: e tu, meu senhor rei, agora não o soubeste.
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
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.
He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
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.
Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
21 De outra sorte acontecerá, quando meu senhor o rei descansar com seus pais, que eu e meu filho Salomão seremos tidos por culpados.
If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
22 E estando ainda falando ela com o rei, eis que Natã profeta, que veio.
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
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.
The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.
24 E disse Natã: Rei senhor meu, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e ele se sentará em meu trono?
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
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!
[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
26 Mas nem a mim teu servo, nem a Zadoque sacerdote, nem a Benaia filho de Joiada, nem a Salomão teu servo, convidou.
But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
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?
Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
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 [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
29 E o rei jurou, dizendo: Vive o SENHOR, que redimiu minha alma de toda angústia,
Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
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.
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.
Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
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.
Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
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:
he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
34 E ali o ungirão Zadoque sacerdote e Natã profeta por rei sobre Israel; e tocareis trombeta, dizendo: Viva o rei Salomão!
There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
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 follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
36 Então Benaia filho de Joiada respondeu ao rei, e disse: Amém. Assim o diga o SENHOR, Deus de meu senhor o rei.
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
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.
King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
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, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
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!
There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
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.
Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
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?
When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”
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.
While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
43 E Jônatas respondeu, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor, o rei Davi, constituiu rei a Salomão;
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the 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;
He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
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.
They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
46 E também Salomão se assentou no trono do reino.
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
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.
Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
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 he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
49 Então se estremeceram, e levantaram-se todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias, e foi-se cada um por seu caminho.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 Mas Adonias, temendo da presença de Salomão, levantou-se e foi-se, e agarrou as pontas do altar.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
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.
But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
52 E Salomão disse: Se ele for virtuoso, nenhum de seus cabelos cairá em terra: mas se se achar mal nele, morrerá.
Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
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 [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
