I Livro dos Reis 11

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 O rei Salomão, além da filha do faraó, amou muitas mulheres estrangeiras: moabitas, amonitas, edomitas, sidônias e hitéias,	1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.
2 pertencentes às nações das quais o Senhor dissera aos israelitas: Não tereis relações com elas, nem elas tampouco convosco, porque certamente vos seduziriam os corações arrastando-os para os seus deuses.	2 These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.
3 A estas nações uniu-se Salomão por seus amores. Teve setecentas esposas de classe principesca e trezentas concubinas. E suas mulheres perverteram-lhe o coração.	3 And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.
4 Sendo já velho, elas seduziram o seu coração para seguir outros deuses. E o seu coração já não pertencia sem reservas ao Senhor, seu Deus, como o de Davi, seu pai.	4 And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.
5 Salomão prestou culto a Astarte, deusa dos sidônios, e a Melcom, o abominável ídolo dos amonitas.	5 For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.
6 Fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, não lhe foi inteiramente fiel como o fora seu pai Davi.	6 And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.
7 Por esse tempo edificou Salomão no monte, que está a oriente de Jerusalém, um lugar alto a Camos, deus de Moab, e a Moloc, abominação dos amonitas.	7 Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.
8 E o mesmo fez para todas as suas mulheres estrangeiras, que queimavam incenso e sacrificavam aos seus deuses.	8 And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.
9 O Senhor irritou-se contra Salomão, por se ter seu coração desviado do Senhor, Deus de Israel, que lhe aparecera por duas vezes,	9 And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10 e lhe tinha proibido expressamente que se unisse a deuses estranhos. Mas não seguira as ordens do Senhor.	10 and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.
11 O Senhor disse-lhe então: Já que procedeste assim, e não guardaste a minha aliança, nem as leis que te prescrevi, vou tirar-te o reino e dá-lo ao teu servo.	11 And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.
12 Todavia, em atenção ao teu pai Davi, não o farei durante a tua vida. Tirá-lo-ei, sim, mas da mão de teu filho.	12 Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.
13 Não lhe tirarei o reino todo, mas deixarei ao teu filho uma tribo, por amor de meu servo Davi, e por amor de Jerusalém, a cidade que escolhi.	13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
14 O Senhor suscitou um inimigo a Salomão: Hadad, o edomita, da linhagem real de Edom.	14 Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.
15 No tempo em que Davi estava em guerra contra Edom, quando Joab, general do exército, foi sepultar os mortos e matou todos os varões de Edom	15 For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.
16 {Joab, com efeito, demorou-se ali seis meses com todo o Israel, até exterminar todos os varões de Edom.}	16 And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.
17 Hadad fugiu com os edomitas, servos de seu pai, na direção do Egito.	17 Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.
18 Hadad era então muito criança. Partiram de Madiã e foram a Farã; dali, levando consigo homens de Farã, entraram no Egito e foram ter com o faraó, rei do Egito. Este deu-lhes casa, proveu ao seu sustento e doou-lhes terras.	18 And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.
19 Hadad ganhou a simpatia do faraó, que lhe deu por mulher sua cunhada, irmã da rainha Tafnes.	19 And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.
20 Desta irmã de Tafnes teve Hadad um filho, Genubat, que Tafnes criou na casa do faraó. E Genubat habitou no palácio com os filhos do faraó.	20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.
21 Quando Hadad ouviu dizer, no Egito, que Davi adormecera com seus pais, e que Joab, general do exército, estava morto, disse ao faraó: Deixa-me voltar para a minha terra.	21 And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”
22 O faraó respondeu-lhe: Falta-te algo em minha casa, para que queiras voltar para a tua terra? Nada me falta, respondeu; mas deixa-me partir assim mesmo. Hadad voltou, pois, para a sua terra. E eis o mal que fez: tornou-se rei de Edom e tratou Israel como inimigo.	22 And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”
23 Deus suscitou outro inimigo a Salomão: Razon, filho de Eliada, que fugira de seu senhor Hadadezer, rei de Soba.	23 Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.
24 Após os massacres de Davi, juntara homens em torno de si, tornando-se chefe de quadrilha. Atacaram Damasco, onde se estabeleceram, e constituíram-no rei em Damasco.	24 And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.
25 Foi inimigo de Israel durante toda a vida de Salomão.	25 And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.
26 Também Jeroboão, filho de Nabat, efrateu de Sareda {filho de uma viúva chamada Sarva}, que estava a serviço de Salomão, revoltou-se contra o rei.	26 Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.
27 Eis em que circunstâncias ele se revoltou contra o rei: Salomão construía Milo para fechar a brecha da cidade de Davi, seu pai.	27 And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.
28 Ora, Jeroboão era um jovem enérgico, e Salomão, vendo-o tão laborioso, confiou-lhe a superintendência de todos os trabalhadores da casa de José.	28 Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.
29 E aconteceu que um dia, saindo Jeroboão de Jerusalém, encontrou-se em caminho com o profeta Aías de Silo, vestido com um manto novo. Estavam os dois sós no campo.	29 And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing with a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.
30 Então Aías, tomando o manto novo que trazia, rasgou-o em doze pedaços.	30 And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.
31 Toma para ti dez pedaços, disse ele a Jeroboão, pois isto diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Vou arrancar o reino das mãos de Salomão, e dar-te-ei dez tribos.	31 And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.
32 Mas, em atenção ao meu servo Davi e à cidade de Jerusalém, que escolhi dentre todas as tribos de Israel, ficar-lhe-á ainda uma tribo.	32 Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 Abandonaram-me, prostraram-se diante de Astarte, deusa dos sidônios, diante de Camos, deus de Moab e diante de Melcom, deus dos amonitas. Não andaram em meus caminhos, para fazer o que é bom diante de meus olhos e observar minhas leis e ordens, como o fez Davi, pai de Salomão.	33 For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.
34 Contudo, não lhe tirarei todo o reino, mas deixá-lo-ei governar todos os dias de sua vida, por amor de meu servo Davi, a quem escolhi, o qual guardou os meus mandamentos e os meus preceitos.	34 But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
35 Tirarei, porém, o reino das mãos do filho de Salomão, para dar-te dez tribos.	35 But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.
36 Deixarei uma tribo ao seu filho, para que meu servo Davi tenha sempre uma lâmpada diante de mim em Jerusalém, cidade que escolhi para estabelecer nela o meu nome.	36 Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.
37 Tomo-te, pois, para reinares sobre tudo o que possas desejar. Serás rei de Israel.	37 And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.
38 E se obedeceres a todas as minhas ordens, se andares pelos meus caminhos, se fizeres o bem diante de mim, observando os meus preceitos e os meus mandamentos, como fez meu servo Davi, eu estarei contigo. Edificar-te-ei uma casa estável, como edifiquei para Davi, e te entregarei Israel.	38 Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.
39 Humilharei assim a descendência de Davi, mas não para sempre.	39 And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’ ”
40 Salomão procurou matar Jeroboão, mas este fugiu para junto do rei Sesac, no Egito, onde permaneceu até a morte de Salomão.	40 Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 O resto da história de Salomão, todos os seus atos, a sua sabedoria, tudo está escrito no livro dos Atos de Salomão.	41 Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
42 Salomão reinou sobre todo o Israel durante quarenta anos, em Jerusalém.	42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.
43 Depois adormeceu com seus pais e foi enterrado na cidade de seu pai Davi. Roboão, seu filho, tornou-se rei em seu lugar.	43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.
