1 Reis 5
1 Hirão, rei de Tiro, enviou seus servos a Salomão, quando ouviu que tinham ungido por rei em lugar de seu pai; porque Hirão sempre havia amado a Davi.
Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.
2 Então Salomão enviou a dizer a Hirão:
Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3 Tu sabes como meu pai Davi não pôde edificar uma casa ao nome do SENHOR, seu Deus, por causa das guerras que o cercaram, até que o SENHOR pôs os seus inimigos debaixo das plantas de seus pés.
“You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.
4 Porém agora o SENHOR, meu Deus, me deu repouso por todos os lados; nem há adversários, nem encontro mal algum.
But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.
5 Eu, portanto, decidi edificar uma casa ao nome do SENHOR, meu Deus, como o SENHOR o falou ao meu pai Davi, dizendo: Teu filho, que eu porei em teu lugar no teu trono, ele edificará uma casa ao meu nome.
For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’
6 Manda, pois, agora, que me cortem cedros do Líbano; e meus servos estarão com os teus servos, e eu te darei o salário dos teus servos conforme a tudo o que disseres; porque tu sabes que ninguém há entre nós que saiba cortar a madeira como os sidônios.
Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”
7 E quando Hirão ouviu as palavras de Salomão, alegrou-se em grande maneira, e disse: Bendito seja hoje o SENHOR, que deu filho sábio a Davi sobre este povo tão grande.
Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”
8 E enviou Hirão a dizer a Salomão: Ouvi o que me mandaste a dizer: eu farei tudo o que te satisfizer acerca da madeira de cedro, e a madeira de faia.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.
9 Meus servos a levarão desde o Líbano à mar; e eu a porei em balsas pelo mar até o lugar que tu me assinalares, e ali se desatará, e tu a tomarás: e tu farás minha vontade em dar de comer à minha família.
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”
10 Deu, pois, Hirão a Salomão madeira de cedro e madeira de faia tudo o que quis.
And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.
11 E Salomão dava a Hirão vinte mil coros de trigo para o sustento de sua família, e vinte coros de azeite puro; isto dava Salomão a Hirão cada um ano.
Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.
12 Deu, pois, o SENHOR a Salomão sabedoria como lhe havia dito: e havia paz entre Hirão e Salomão, e fizeram aliança entre ambos.
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.
13 E o rei Salomão impôs tributo a todo Israel, e o tributo foi de trinta mil homens:
And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.
14 Os quais enviava ao Líbano de dez mil em dez mil, cada mês por seu turno, vindo assim a estar um mês no Líbano, e dois meses em suas casas: e Adonirão estava sobre aquele tributo.
And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.
15 Tinha também Salomão setenta mil que levavam as cargas, e oitenta mil cortadores no monte;
And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,
16 Sem os principais oficiais de Salomão que estavam sobre a obra, três mil e trezentos, os quais tinham cargo do povo que fazia a obra.
aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.
17 E mandou o rei que trouxessem grandes pedras, pedras de grande valor, para os alicerces da casa, e pedras lavradas.
And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.
18 E os pedreiros de Salomão e os de Hirão, e os preparadores, cortaram e prepararam a madeira e pedras para lavrar a casa.
And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.
