1 Reis 9
1 Quando Salomão terminou a construção da casa de Yahweh, a casa do rei, e todo o desejo de Salomão que ele tinha o prazer de fazer,
After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
2 Yahweh apareceu a Salomão pela segunda vez, como ele tinha aparecido a ele em Gibeon.
Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
3 Yahweh disse-lhe: “Ouvi sua oração e sua súplica que você fez diante de mim”. Fiz santa esta casa, que você construiu, para colocar meu nome lá para sempre; e meus olhos e meu coração estarão lá perpetuamente”.
Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
4 Quanto a ti, se andares diante de mim como andou Davi, teu pai, em integridade de coração e retidão, para fazer conforme tudo o que te ordenei, e guardar meus estatutos e minhas ordenanças,
“And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
5 então estabelecerei o trono de teu reino sobre Israel para sempre, como prometi a Davi, teu pai, dizendo: “Não faltará de ti um homem no trono de Israel”.
I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
6 Mas, se você se afastar de me seguir, você ou seus filhos, e não guardar meus mandamentos e meus estatutos que eu lhe propus, mas for e servir a outros deuses e adorá-los,
“But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
7 então eu cortarei Israel da terra que lhes dei; e lançarei fora da minha vista esta casa, que eu santificei pelo meu nome; e Israel será um provérbio e uma palavra de ordem entre todos os povos.
I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
8 Though esta casa é tão alta, mas todos que passarem por ela ficarão espantados e assobiarão; e dirão: 'Por que Javé fez isto a esta terra e a esta casa?
This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
9 e responderão: 'Porque abandonaram Javé seu Deus, que tirou seus pais da terra do Egito, e abraçaram outros deuses, e os adoraram, e os serviram. Portanto Yahweh trouxe todo este mal sobre eles””.
And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
10 Ao final de vinte anos, nos quais Salomão tinha construído as duas casas, a casa de Yahweh e a casa do rei
Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
11 (agora Hiram, o rei de Tiro, tinha mobiliado Salomão com cedros e ciprestes, e com ouro, de acordo com todo seu desejo), o rei Salomão deu a Hirão vinte cidades na terra da Galiléia.
Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
12 Hirão saiu de Tiro para ver as cidades que Salomão lhe havia dado; e elas não lhe agradaram.
But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
13 Ele disse: “Que cidades são essas que você me deu, meu irmão?”. Ele as chamou de terra de Cabul até os dias de hoje.
He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
14 Hiram enviou ao rei cento e vinte talentos de ouro.
Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
15 Esta é a razão do trabalho forçado que o rei Salomão recrutou: para construir a casa de Yahweh, sua própria casa, Millo, o muro de Jerusalém, Hazor, Megiddo, e Gezer.
This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
16 O Faraó rei do Egito subiu, tomou Gezer, queimou-a com fogo, matou os cananeus que viviam na cidade e a deu de presente de casamento a sua filha, a esposa de Salomão.
[The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
17 Salomão construiu na terra Gezer, Beth Horon a mais baixa,
So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
18 Baalath, Tamar no deserto,
They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
19 todas as cidades de armazenamento que Salomão tinha, as cidades para suas carruagens, as cidades para seus cavaleiros, e aquilo que Salomão desejava construir para seu prazer em Jerusalém, e no Líbano, e em toda a terra de seu domínio.
They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
20 Quanto a todas as pessoas que ficaram dos amoritas, dos hititas, dos perizitas, dos hivitas e dos jebuseus, que não eram dos filhos de Israel -
There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
21 seus filhos que foram deixados atrás deles na terra, que os filhos de Israel não puderam destruir totalmente - deles Salomão levantou até hoje uma taxa de servidão.
[Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
22 Mas dos filhos de Israel, Salomão não fez escravos; mas eles eram os homens de guerra, seus servos, seus príncipes, seus capitães e governantes de seus carros e de seus cavaleiros.
But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
23 Estes eram os quinhentos e cinqüenta oficiais chefes que estavam sobre o trabalho de Salomão, que governavam sobre o povo que trabalhava no trabalho.
There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
24 Mas a filha do Faraó saiu da cidade de Davi para sua casa que Salomão havia construído para ela. Depois ele construiu Millo.
After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
25 Salomão ofereceu holocaustos e ofertas de paz no altar que ele construiu para Iavé três vezes por ano, queimando incenso com eles no altar que estava antes de Iavé. Assim, ele terminou a casa.
Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
26 O rei Salomão fez uma frota de navios em Ezion Geber, que fica ao lado de Eloth, na costa do Mar Vermelho, na terra de Edom.
King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
27 Hiram enviou para a frota seus servos, marinheiros que tinham conhecimento do mar, com os servos de Salomão.
[King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
28 Eles vieram a Ophir, e de lá buscaram ouro, quatrocentos e vinte talentos, e o trouxeram ao rei Salomão.
They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
