2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem. For all Israel came to Shechem to make him king.
E foi Roboão a Sichem, porque todo o Israel tinha vindo a Sichem para o fazerem rei.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, from where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo-o Jeroboão, filho de Nebat (o qual estava então no Egypto para onde fugira da presença do rei Salomão), voltou Jeroboão do Egypto.
3 And they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Porque enviaram a elle, e o chamaram: e veiu pois Jeroboão com todo o Israel: e fallaram a Roboão dizendo:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
Teu pae fez duro o nosso jugo, allivia tu pois agora a dura servidão de teu pae, e o pesado jugo d'elle, que nos tinha imposto, e servir-te-hemos.
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
E elle lhes disse: D'aqui a tres dias tornae a mim. Então o povo se foi.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel do ye give me to return an answer to this people?
E teve Roboão conselho com os anciãos, que estiveram perante Salomão seu pae, emquanto viveu, dizendo: Como aconselhaes vós que se responda a este povo?
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants forever.
E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Se te fizeres benigno e affavel com este povo, e lhes fallares boas palavras, todos os dias serão teus servos.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that grew up with him, who stood before him.
Porém elle deixou o conselho, que os anciãos lhe deram: e teve conselho com os mancebos, que haviam crescido com elle, e estavam perante elle.
9 And he said to them, What counsel do ye give, that we may return an answer to this people who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father put upon us lighter?
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós, que respondamos a este povo? que me fallou, dizendo: Allivia-nos o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
10 And the young men that grew up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall thou say to the people who spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter to us. Thus shall thou say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
E os mancebos, que com elle haviam crescido, lhe fallaram, dizendo: Assim dirás a este povo, que te fallou, dizendo: Teu pae aggravou o nosso jugo, tu porém allivia-nos: assim pois lhes fallarás: O meu dedo minimo é mais grosso do que os lombos de meu pae
11 And now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I with scorpions.
Assim que se meu pae vos fez carregar d'um jugo pesado, eu ainda accrescentarei sobre o vosso jugo: meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
Veiu pois Jeroboão, e todo o povo a Roboão, no terceiro dia, como o rei tinha ordenado, dizendo: Tornae a mim ao terceiro dia.
13 And the king answered them roughly. And king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
E o rei lhe respondeu asperamente: porque o rei Roboão deixou o conselho dos anciãos.
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto. My father chastised you with whips, but I with scorpions.
E fallou-lhes conforme ao conselho dos mancebos, dizendo: Meu pae aggravou o vosso jugo, porém eu lhe accrescentarei mais: meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
15 So the king did not hearken to the people. For it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Assim o rei não deu ouvidos ao povo, porque esta mudança vinha de Deus, para que o Senhor confirmasse a sua palavra, a qual fallara pelo ministerio d'Ahias, o silonita, a Jeroboão, filho de Nebat.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel departed to their tents.
Vendo pois todo o Israel, que o rei lhes não dava ouvidos, então o povo respondeu ao rei, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com David? já não temos herança no filho d'Isai; Israel, cada um ás suas tendas! Olha agora pela tua casa, ó David. Assim todo o Israel se foi para as suas tendas.
17 But as for the sons of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Porém, quanto aos filhos de Israel, que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, sobre elles reinou Roboão.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to task work. And the sons of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Então o rei Roboão enviou a Hadoram, que tinha cargo dos tributos; porém os filhos d'Israel o apedrejaram com pedras, de que morreu: então o rei Roboão se esforçou a subir para o seu carro, e fugiu para Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
Assim se rebellaram os israelitas contra a casa de David, até ao dia d'hoje.
