< 2 Chronicles 10 >

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
E Roboão foi a Siquém porque em Siquém se havia juntado todo Israel para fazê-lo rei.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
E quando o ouviu Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o qual estava em Egito, de onde havia fugido por causa do rei Salomão, voltou do Egito.
3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,
E enviaram e chamaram-lhe. Veio, pois, Jeroboão, e todo Israel, e falaram a Roboão, dizendo:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
Teu pai agravou nosso jugo: alivia tu, pois, agora algo da dura servidão, e do grave jugo com que teu pai nos pressionou, e te serviremos.
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
E ele lhes disse: Voltai a mim daqui a três dias. 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?
Então o rei Roboão tomou conselho com os anciãos, que haviam estado diante de Salomão seu pai quando vivia, e disse-lhes: Como aconselhais vós que 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, they will be thy servants for ever.
E eles lhe falaram, dizendo: Se te conduzires humanamente com este povo, e os agradares, e lhes falares boas palavras, eles te servirão perpetuamente.
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.
Mas ele, deixando o conselho que lhe deram os anciãos, tomou conselho com os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, e que diante dele assistiam;
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 aconselhais vós que respondamos a este povo, que me falou, dizendo: Alivia algo do jugo que teu pai pôs sobre nós?
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who 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;
Então os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, lhe falaram, dizendo: Assim dirás ao povo que te falou dizendo, Teu pai agravou nosso jugo, mas tu livra-nos da carga: assim lhes dirás: O meu dedo mínimo é mais espesso que os lombos de meu pai.
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, meu pai vos impôs carga de grave jugo, e eu acrescentarei a vosso jugo: meu pai vos castigou com açoites, e eu 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.
Veio, pois, Jeroboão com todo o povo a Roboão ao terceiro dia: segundo o rei lhes havia mandado dizendo: Voltai a mim daqui a três dias.
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,
E respondeu-lhes o rei asperamente; pois deixou o rei Roboão o conselho dos anciãos,
14 and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
E falou-lhes conforme ao conselho dos rapazes, dizendo: Meu pai agravou vosso jugo, e eu acrescentarei a vosso jugo: meu pai vos castigou com açoites, e eu com escorpiões.
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
E não escutou o rei ao povo; porque a causa era de Deus, para cumprir o SENHOR sua palavra que havia falado, por Aías silonita, a Jeroboão filho de Nebate.
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: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.
E vendo todo Israel que o rei não lhes havia ouvido, respondeu o povo ao rei, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com Davi, nem herança no filho de Jessé? Israel, cada um a suas moradas! Davi, olha agora por tua casa! Assim se foi todo Israel a suas casas.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Mas reinou Roboão sobre os filhos de Israel que habitavam nas cidades de Judá.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Enviou logo o rei Roboão a Adorão, que tinha cargo dos tributos; mas lhe apedrejaram os filhos de Israel, e morreu. Então se esforçou o rei Roboão, e subindo em um carro fugiu a Jerusalém.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Assim se separou Israel da casa de Davi até hoje.
