1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
E foi Roboão para Sichem; porque todo o Israel veiu a Sichem, para o fazerem rei.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo-o Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, estando ainda no Egypto (porque fugira de diante do rei Salomão, e habitava Jeroboão no Egypto),
3 and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Enviaram, e o mandaram chamar; e Jeroboão e toda a congregação d'Israel vieram, e fallaram a Roboão, dizendo:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
Teu pae aggravou o nosso jugo; agora, pois, allivia tu a dura servidão de teu pae, e o seu pesado jugo que nos impoz, e nós te serviremos.
5 And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
E elle lhes disse: Ide-vos até ao terceiro dia, e voltae a mim. E o povo se foi.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
E teve o rei Roboão conselho com os anciãos que estavam na presença de Salomão, seu pae, quando este ainda vivia, dizendo: Como aconselhaes vós que se responda a este povo
7 And they spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Se hoje fores servo d'este povo, e o servires, e, respondendo-lhe, lhe fallares boas palavras, todos os dias teus servos serão.
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
Porém elle deixou o conselho que os anciãos lhe tinham aconselhado, e teve conselho com os mancebos que haviam crescido com elle, que estavam diante d'elle.
9 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós que respondamos a este povo, que me fallou, dizéndo: Allivia o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
E os mancebos que haviam crescido com elle lhe fallaram, dizendo: Assim fallarás a este povo que te fallou, dizendo: Teu pae fez pesadissimo o nosso jugo, mas tu o allivia de sobre nós; assim lhe fallarás: Meu dedo minimo é mais grosso do que os lombos de meu pae
11 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Assim que, se meu pae vos carregou d'um jugo pesado, ainda eu augmentarei o vosso jugo: meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
Veiu pois Jeroboão e todo o povo, ao terceiro dia, a Roboão, como o rei havia fallado, dizendo: Voltae a mim ao terceiro dia.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him;
E o rei respondeu ao povo duramente; porque deixara o conselho que os anciãos lhe haviam aconselhado.
14 and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
E lhe fallou conforme ao conselho dos mancebos, dizendo: Meu pae aggravou o vosso jugo, porém eu ainda augmentarei o vosso jugo; meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
O rei pois não deu ouvidos ao povo; porque esta revolta vinha do Senhor, para confirmar a sua palavra que o Senhor tinha dito pelo ministerio de Ahias, o silonita, a Jeroboão, filho de Nebat.
16 And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to their tents.
Vendo pois todo o Israel que o rei não lhe dava ouvidos, tornou-lhe o povo a responder, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com David? e não ha para nós herança no filho de Jessé. Ás tuas tendas, ó Israel! Provê agora a tua casa, ó David. Então Israel se foi ás suas tendas
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
No tocante porém aos filhos d'Israel que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, tambem sobre elles reinou Roboão.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Então o rei Roboão enviou a Adoram, que estava sobre os tributos; e todo o Israel o apedrejou com pedras, e morreu: mas o rei Roboão se animou a subir ao carro para fugir para Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Assim descairam os israelitas da casa de David até ao dia de hoje.
20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
E succedeu que, ouvindo todo o Israel que Jeroboão tinha voltado, enviaram, e o chamaram para a congregação, e o fizeram rei sobre todo o Israel: e ninguem seguiu a casa de David senão sómente a tribu de Judah.
21 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Vindo pois Roboão a Jerusalem, ajuntou toda a casa de Judah e a tribu de Benjamin, cento e oitenta mil escolhidos, destros para a guerra, para pelejar contra a casa d'Israel, para restituir o reino a Roboão, filho de Salomão.
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Porém veiu a palavra de Deus a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remainder of the people, saying,
Falla a Roboão, filho de Salomão, rei de Judah, e a toda a casa de Judah, e a Benjamin, e ao resto do povo, dizendo:
24 Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah.
Assim diz o Senhor: Não subireis nem pelejareis contra vossos irmãos, os filhos d'Israel; volte cada um para a sua casa, porque eu é que fiz esta obra. E ouviram a palavra do Senhor, e voltaram segundo a palavra do Senhor.
25 And Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
E Jeroboão edificou a Sichem, no monte de Ephraim, e habitou ali; e saiu d'ali, e edificou a Penuel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David.
E disse Jeroboão no seu coração: Agora tornará o reino á casa de David.
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
Se este povo subir para fazer sacrificios na casa do Senhor, em Jerusalem, o coração d'este povo se tornará a seu senhor, a Roboão, rei de Judah: e me matarão, e tornarão a Roboão, rei de Judah.
28 And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
Pelo que o rei tomou conselho, e fez dois bezerros de oiro; e lhes disse: Muito trabalho vos será o subir a Jerusalem; vês aqui teus deuses, ó Israel, que te fizeram subir da terra do Egypto.
29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
E poz um em Bethel, e collocou o outro em Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.
E este feito se tornou em peccado: pois que o povo ia até Dan cada um a adorar.
31 And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Tambem fez casa dos altos: e fez sacerdotes dos mais baixos do povo, que não eram dos filhos de Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
E fez Jeroboão uma festa no oitavo mez, no dia decimo quinto do mez, como a festa que se fazia em Judah, e sacrificou no altar; similhantemente fez em Bethel, sacrificando os bezerros que fizera: tambem em Bethel estabeleceu sacerdotes dos altos que fizera.
33 And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense.
E sacrificou no altar que fizera em Bethel, no dia decimo quinto do oitavo mez, que elle tinha imaginado no seu coração: assim fez a festa aos filhos de Israel, e sacrificou no altar, queimando incenso.
