< 1 Kings 1 >

1 Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
Sendo pois o rei David já velho, e entrado em dias, cobriam-n'o de vestes, porém não aquecia.
2 Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
Então disseram-lhe os seus servos: Busquem para o rei meu senhor uma moça virgem, que esteja perante o rei, e tenha cuidado d'elle: e durma no seu seio, para que o rei meu senhor aqueça.
3 And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
E buscaram por todos os termos de Israel uma moça formosa: e acharam a Abisag, sunamita; e a trouxeram ao rei.
4 Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
E era a moça sobre maneira formosa: e tinha cuidado do rei, e o servia; porém o rei não a conheceu.
5 Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
Então Adonias, filho d'Haggith, se levantou, dizendo: Eu reinarei. E preparou carros, e cavalleiros, e cincoenta homens, que corressem diante d'elle.
6 Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
E nunca seu pae o tinha contrariado, dizendo: Porque fizeste assim? E era elle tambem mui formoso de parecer; e Haggith o parira depois de Absalão.
7 And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
E tinha intelligencia com Joab, filho de Zeruia, e com Abiathar o sacerdote; os quaes o ajudavam, seguindo a Adonias.
8 Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
Porém Zadok o sacerdote, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e Nathan, o propheta, e Simei, e Rei, e os valentes que David tinha, não estavam com Adonias.
9 Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
E matou Adonias ovelhas, e vaccas, e bestas cevadas, junto á pedra de Zoheleth, que está junto á fonte de Rogel: e convidou a todos os seus irmãos, os filhos do rei, e a todos os homens de Judah, servos do rei
10 But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
Porém a Nathan, propheta, e a Benaia, e aos valentes, e a Salomão, seu irmão, não convidou.
11 And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
Então fallou Nathan a Bath-seba, mãe de Salomão, dizendo: Não ouviste que Adonias, filho de Haggith, reina? e que nosso senhor David não o sabe
12 Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
Vem pois agora, e deixa-me dar-te um conselho, para que salves a tua vida, e a de Salomão teu filho.
13 Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
Vae, e entra ao rei David, e dize-lhe: Não juraste tu, rei senhor meu, á tua serva, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno? porque pois reina Adonias?
14 And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
Eis que, estando tu ainda ahi fallando com o rei, eu tambem entrarei depois de ti, e acabarei as tuas palavras.
15 And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
E entrou Bath-seba ao rei na recamara; e o rei era mui velho: e Abisag, a sunamita, servia ao rei.
16 Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
E Bath-seba inclinou a cabeça, e se prostrou perante o rei: e disse o rei: Que tens?
17 And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
E ella lhe disse: Senhor meu, tu juraste á tua serva pelo Senhor teu Deus, dizendo: Salomão, teu filho, reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno.
18 And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
E agora eis que Adonias reina: e agora, ó rei meu senhor, tu não o sabes.
19 He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
E matou vaccas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundancia, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e a Joab, general do exercito, mas a teu servo Salomão não convidou.
20 Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
Porém tu, ó rei meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti, para que lhes declares quem se assentará sobre o throno do rei meu senhor, depois d'elle.
21 Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
D'outro modo succederá que, quando o rei meu senhor dormir com seus paes, eu e Salomão meu filho seremos os peccantes.
22 And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
E, estando ella ainda fallando com o rei, eis que entra o propheta Nathan.
23 And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
E o fizeram saber ao rei, dizendo: Eis ali está o propheta Nathan. E entrou á presença do rei, e prostrou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
24 Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
E disse Nathan: Ó rei meu senhor, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará sobre o meu throno?
25 For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
Porque hoje desceu, e matou vaccas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundancia, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e aos capitães do exercito, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e eis que estão comendo e bebendo perante elle: e dizem: Viva o rei Adonias!
26 But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
Porém a mim, sendo eu teu servo, e a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada, e a Salomão, teu servo, não convidou.
27 Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
Foi feito isto da parte do rei meu senhor? e não fizeste saber a teu servo quem se assentaria no throno do rei meu senhor depois d'elle?
28 And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
E respondeu o rei David, e disse: Chamae-me a Bath-seba, E ella entrou á presença do rei; e estava em pé diante do rei.
29 the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
Então jurou o rei e disse: Vive o Senhor, o qual remiu a minha alma de toda a angustia,
30 just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
Que, como te jurei pelo Senhor Deus de Israel, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e elle se assentará no meu throno, em meu logar, assim o farei no dia d'hoje.
31 And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
Então Bath-seba se inclinou com o rosto em terra, e se prostrou diante do rei, e disse: Viva o rei David meu senhor para sempre!
32 And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
E disse o rei David: Chamae-me a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o propheta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada. E entraram á presença do rei.
33 he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
E o rei lhes disse: Tomae comvosco os servos de vosso senhor, e fazei subir a meu filho Salomão na mula que é minha; e fazei-o descer a Gihon.
34 And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
E Zadok, o sacerdote, com Nathan, o propheta, ali o ungirão rei sobre Israel: então tocareis a trombeta, e direis: Viva o rei Salomão!
35 And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
Então subireis apoz elle, e virá e se assentará no meu throno, e elle reinará em meu logar: porque tenho ordenado que elle seja guia sobre Israel e sobre Judah.
36 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
Então Benaia, filho de Joiada, respondeu ao rei, e disse: Amen: assim o diga o Senhor Deus do rei meu senhor.
37 In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
Como o Senhor foi com o rei meu senhor, assim o seja com Salomão, e faça que o seu throno seja maior do que o throno do rei David meu senhor.
38 Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
Então desceu Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o propheta, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e os cheretheos, e os peletheos, e fizeram montar a Salomão na mula do rei David, e o levaram a Gihon.
39 And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
E Zadok, o sacerdote tomou o vaso do azeite do tabernaculo, e ungiu a Salomão: e tocaram a, trombeta, e todo o povo disse: Viva o rei Salomão!
40 And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
E todo o povo subiu apoz elle, e o povo tangia com gaitas, e alegrava-se com grande alegria: de maneira que com o seu clamor a terra retiniu.
41 Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
E o ouviu Adonias, e todos os convidados que estavam com elle, que tinham acabado de comer: tambem Joab ouviu o sonido das trombetas, e disse: Porque ha tal ruido na cidade alvoroçada?
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
Estando elle ainda fallando, eis que vem Jonathan, filho de Abiathar, o sacerdote, e disse Adonias: Entra, porque és homem valente, e trarás boas novas.
43 And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
E respondeu Jonathan, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor rei David constituiu rei a Salomão.
44 And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
E o rei enviou com elle a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o propheta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada, e aos cheretheos e aos peletheos: e o fizeram montar na mula do rei.
45 And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
E Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o propheta, o ungiram rei em Gihon, e d'ali subiram alegres, e a cidade está alvoroçada: este é o clamor que ouviste.
46 But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
E tambem Salomão está assentado no throno do reino.
47 And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
E tambem os servos do rei vieram abençoar a nosso senhor, o rei David, dizendo: Faça teu Deus que o nome de Salomão seja melhor do que o teu nome; e faça que o seu throno seja maior do que o teu throno. E o rei se inclinou no leito.
48 And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
E tambem disse o rei assim: Bemdito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje tem dado quem se assente no meu throno, e que os meus olhos o vissem.
49 Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
Então estremeceram e se levantaram todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias: e cada um se foi ao seu caminho.
50 Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
Porém Adonias temeu a Salomão: e levantou-se, e foi, e pegou dos cornos do altar.
51 And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
E fez-se saber a Salomão, dizendo: Eis que Adonias teme ao rei Salomão: porque eis que pegou dos cornos do altar, dizendo: Jure-me hoje o rei Salomão que não matará a seu servo á espada.
52 And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
E disse Salomão: Se fôr homem de bem, nem um de seus cabellos cairá em terra: porém, se se achar n'elle maldade, morrerá.
53 Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
E enviou o rei Salomão, e o fizeram descer do altar; e veiu, e prostrou-se perante o rei Salomão, e Salomão lhe disse: Vae para tua casa.
