2 Chronicles 9
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
E ouvindo a rainha de Sabá a fama de Salomão, veio a Jerusalém com uma comitiva muito grande, com camelos carregados de aroma, e ouro em abundância, e pedras preciosas, para tentar a Salomão com perguntas difíceis. E logo que veio a Salomão, falou com ele tudo o que havia em seu coração.
2 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
Porém Salomão lhe declarou todas suas palavras: nenhuma coisa restou que Salomão não lhe declarasse.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
E vendo a rainha de Sabá a sabedoria de Salomão, e a casa que havia edificado,
4 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
E as iguarias de sua mesa, e o assento de seus servos, e o estado de seus criados, e os vestidos deles, seus mestres-salas e seus vestidos, e sua subida por de onde subia à casa do SENHOR, não restou mais espírito nela.
5 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
E disse ao rei: Verdade é o que havia ouvido em minha terra de tuas coisas e de tua sabedoria;
6 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.
Mas eu não cria as palavras deles, até que ei vindo, e meus olhos viram: e eis que que nem ainda a metade da grandeza de tua sabedoria me havia sido dita; porque tu excedes a fama que eu havia ouvido.
7 Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Bem-aventurados teus homens, e ditosos estes teus servos, que estão sempre diante de ti, e ouvem tua sabedoria.
8 Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.
o SENHOR teu Deus seja bendito, o qual se agradou em ti para te pôr sobre seu trono por rei do SENHOR teu Deus: porquanto teu Deus amou a Israel para firmá-lo perpetuamente, por isso te pôs por rei sobre eles, para que faças juízo e justiça.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.
E deu ao rei cento e vinte talentos de ouro, e grande quantidade de aromas, e pedras preciosas: nunca havia tais aromas como os que deu a rainha de Sabá ao rei Salomão.
10 And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.
Também os servos de Hirão e os servos de Salomão, que haviam trazido o ouro de Ofir, trouxeram madeira de cipreste, e pedras preciosas.
11 And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.
E fez o rei da madeira de cipreste degraus na casa do SENHOR, e nas casas reais, e harpas e saltérios para os cantores: nunca em terra de Judá se havia visto madeira semelhante.
12 And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.
E o rei Salomão deu à rainha de Sabá tudo o que ela quis e lhe pediu, mais de o que havia trazido ao rei. Depois se voltou e foi-se a sua terra com seus servos.
13 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
E o peso de ouro que vinha a Salomão cada um ano, era seiscentos sessenta e seis talentos de ouro,
14 And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.
Sem o que traziam os mercadores e negociantes; e também todos os reis da Arábia e os príncipes da terra traziam ouro e prata a Salomão.
15 And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Fez também o rei Salomão duzentos paveses de ouro de martelo, cada um dos quais tinha seiscentos siclos de ouro lavrado:
16 And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
Assim trezentos escudos de ouro batido, tendo cada escudo trezentos siclos de ouro: e os pôs o rei na casa do bosque do Líbano.
17 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Fez ademais o rei um grande trono de marfim, e cobriu-o de ouro puro.
18 There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.
E havia seis degraus ao trono, com um estrado de ouro ao mesmo, e braços da uma parte e da outra ao lugar do assento, e dois leões que estavam junto aos braços.
19 And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
Havia também ali doze leões sobre os seis degraus da uma parte e da outra. Jamais foi feito outro semelhante em reino algum.
20 All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon.
Todos os utensílios do rei Salomão eram de ouro, e todos os utensílios da casa do bosque do Líbano, de ouro puro. Nos dias de Salomão a prata não era de valiosa.
21 For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
Porque a frota do rei ia a Társis com os servos de Hirão, e cada três anos faziam vir os navios de Társis, e traziam ouro, prata, marfim, macacos, e pavões.
22 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
E excedeu o rei Salomão a todos os reis da terra em riqueza e em sabedoria.
23 And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.
E todos os reis da terra procuravam ver o rosto de Salomão, por ouvir sua sabedoria, que Deus havia posto em seu coração:
24 And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.
E destes, cada um trazia o seu presente, vasos de prata, vasos de ouro, vestidos, armas, aromas, cavalos e mulas, todos os anos.
25 Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
Teve também Salomão quatro mil estábulos para os cavalos e carros, e doze mil cavaleiros, os quais pôs nas cidades dos carros, e com o rei em Jerusalém.
26 And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
E teve senhorio sobre todos os reis desde o rio até a terra dos filisteus, e até o termo do Egito.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
E pôs o rei prata em Jerusalém como pedras, e cedros como os sicômoros que nascem pelas campinas em abundância.
28 They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
Traziam também cavalos para Salomão, do Egito e de todas as províncias.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
Os demais feitos de Salomão, primeiros e últimos, não está tudo escrito nos livros de Natã profeta, e na profecia de Aías silonita, e nas profecias do vidente Ido contra Jeroboão filho de Nebate?
30 Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
E reinou Salomão em Jerusalém sobre todo Israel quarenta anos.
31 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
E descansou Salomão com seus pais, e sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi seu pai: e reinou em seu lugar Roboão seu filho.
