< 1 Kings 1 >

1 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.
Sendo pois o rei David já velho, e entrado em dias, cobriam-no de vestes, porém não aquecia.
2 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.”
Então disseram-lhe os seus servos: Busquem para o rei meu senhor uma moça virgem, que esteja perante o rei, e tenha cuidado dele: e durma no seu seio, para que o rei meu senhor aqueça.
3 [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.
E buscaram por todos os termos de Israel uma moça formosa: e acharam a Abisag, sunamita; e a trouxeram ao rei.
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
E era a moça sobre maneira formosa: e tinha cuidado do rei, e o servia; porém o rei não a conheceu.
5 [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].
Então Adonias, filho de Haggith, se levantou, dizendo: Eu reinarei. E preparou carros, e cavaleiros, e cincoênta homens, que corressem diante dele.
6
E nunca seu pai o tinha contrariado, dizendo: Porque fizeste assim? E era ele também mui formoso de parecer; e Haggith o parira depois de Absalão.
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
E tinha inteligência com Joab, filho de Zeruia, e com Abiathar o sacerdote; os quais o ajudavam, seguindo a Adonias.
8 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.
Porém Zadok o sacerdote, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e Nathan, o profeta, e Simei, e Rei, e os valentes que David tinha, não estavam com Adonias.
9 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.
E matou Adonias ovelhas, e vacas, e bestas cevadas, junto à pedra de Zoheleth, que está junto à fonte de Rogel: e convidou a todos os seus irmãos, os filhos do rei, e a todos os homens de Judá, servos do rei
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
Porém a Nathan, profeta, e a Benaia, e aos valentes, e a Salomão, seu irmão, não convidou.
11 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!
Então falou 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 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
Vem pois agora, e deixa-me dar-te um conselho, para que salves a tua vida, e a de Salomão teu filho.
13 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?’
Vai, e entra ao rei David, e dize-lhe: Não juraste tu, rei senhor meu, à tua serva, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e ele se assentará no meu trono? porque pois reina Adonias?
14 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.”
Eis que, estando tu ainda ai falando com o rei, eu também entrarei depois de ti, e acabarei as tuas palavras.
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
E entrou Bath-seba ao rei na recâmara; e o rei era mui velho: e Abisag, a sunamita, servia ao rei.
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
E Bath-seba inclinou a cabeça, e se prostrou perante o rei: e disse o rei: Que tens?
17 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].
E ela lhe disse: Senhor meu, tu juraste à tua serva pelo Senhor teu Deus, dizendo: Salomão, teu filho, reinará depois de mim, e ele se assentará no meu trono.
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
E agora eis que Adonias reina: e agora, ó rei meu senhor, tu não o sabes.
19 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.
E matou vacas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundância, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e a Joab, general do exército, mas a teu servo Salomão não convidou.
20 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.
Porém tu, ó rei meu senhor, os olhos de todo o Israel estão sobre ti, para que lhes declares quem se assentará sobre o trono do rei meu senhor, depois dele.
21 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].”
De outro modo sucederá que, quando o rei meu senhor dormir com seus pais, eu e Salomão meu filho seremos os pecantes.
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
E, estando ela ainda falando com o rei, eis que entra o profeta Nathan.
23 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.
E o fizeram saber ao rei, dizendo: Eis ali está o profeta Nathan. E entrou à presença do rei, e prostrou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
E disse Nathan: Ó rei meu senhor, disseste tu: Adonias reinará depois de mim, e ele se assentará sobre o meu trono?
25 [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!’
Porque hoje desceu, e matou vacas, e bestas cevadas, e ovelhas em abundância, e convidou a todos os filhos do rei, e aos capitães do exército, e a Abiathar, o sacerdote, e eis que estão comendo e bebendo perante ele: e dizem: Viva o rei Adonias!
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
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 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?”
Foi feito isto da parte do rei meu senhor? e não fizeste saber a teu servo quem se assentaria no trono do rei meu senhor depois dele?
28 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.
E respondeu o rei David, e disse: chamai-me a Bath-seba, E ela entrou à presença do rei; e estava em pé diante do rei.
29 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.”
Então jurou o rei e disse: Vive o Senhor, o qual remiu a minha alma de toda a angústia,
Que, como te jurei pelo Senhor Deus de Israel, dizendo: Certamente teu filho Salomão reinará depois de mim, e ele se assentará no meu trono, em meu lugar, assim o farei no dia de hoje.
31 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]!”
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 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
E disse o rei David: chamai-me a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o profeta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada. E entraram à presença do rei.
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
E o rei lhes disse: tomai convosco os servos de vosso senhor, e fazei subir a meu filho Salomão na mula que é minha; e fazei-o descer a Gihon.
34 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!’
E Zadok, o sacerdote, com Nathan, o profeta, ali o ungirão rei sobre Israel: então tocareis a trombeta, e direis: Viva o rei Salomão!
35 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.”
Então subireis após ele, e virá e se assentará no meu trono, e ele reinará em meu lugar: porque tenho ordenado que ele seja guia sobre Israel e sobre Judá.
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
Então Benaia, filho de Joiada, respondeu ao rei, e disse: amém: assim o diga o Senhor Deus do rei meu senhor.
37 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.”
Como o Senhor foi com o rei meu senhor, assim o seja com Salomão, e faça que o seu trono seja maior do que o trono do rei David meu senhor.
38 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].
Então desceu Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o profeta, e Benaia, filho de Joiada, e os cheretheus, e os peletheus, e fizeram montar a Salomão na mula do rei David, e o levaram a Gihon.
39 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!”
E Zadok, o sacerdote tomou o vaso do azeite do tabernáculo, e ungiu a Salomão: e tocaram a, trombeta, e todo o povo disse: Viva o rei Salomão!
40 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.
E todo o povo subiu após ele, e o povo tangia com gaitas, e alegrava-se com grande alegria: de maneira que com o seu clamor a terra retiniu.
41 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?”
E o ouviu Adonias, e todos os convidados que estavam com ele, que tinham acabado de comer: também Joab ouviu o sonido das trombetas, e disse: Porque há tal ruído na cidade alvoroçada?
42 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!”
Estando ele ainda falando, eis que vem Jonathan, filho de Abiathar, o sacerdote, e disse Adonias: Entra, porque és homem valente, e trarás boas novas.
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
E respondeu Jonathan, e disse a Adonias: Certamente nosso senhor rei David constituiu rei a Salomão.
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
E o rei enviou com ele a Zadok, o sacerdote, e a Nathan, o profeta, e a Benaia, filho de Joiada, e aos cheretheus e aos peletheus: e o fizeram montar na mula do rei.
45 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.
E Zadok, o sacerdote, e Nathan, o profeta, o ungiram rei em Gihon, e dali subiram alegres, e a cidade está alvoroçada: este é o clamor que ouviste.
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
E também Salomão está assentado no trono do reino.
47 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].
E também 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 trono seja maior do que o teu trono. E o rei se inclinou no leito.
48 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.’”
E também disse o rei assim: bendito o Senhor Deus de Israel, que hoje tem dado quem se assente no meu trono, e que os meus olhos o vissem.
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
Então estremeceram e se levantaram todos os convidados que estavam com Adonias: e cada um se foi ao seu caminho.
50 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].
Porém Adonias temeu a Salomão: e levantou-se, e foi, e pegou dos cornos do altar.
51 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.’”
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 à espada.
52 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.”
E disse Salomão: Se for homem de bem, nem um de seus cabelos cairá em terra: porém, se se achar nele maldade, morrerá.
53 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.”
E enviou o rei Salomão, e o fizeram descer do altar; e veio, e prostrou-se perante o rei Salomão, e Salomão lhe disse: vai para tua casa.
