2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
Vindo pois Roboão a Jerusalem, ajuntou da casa de Judah e Benjamin cento e oitenta mil escolhidos, dextros na guerra para pelejarem contra Israel, e para restituirem o reino a Roboão.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Porém a palavra do Senhor veiu a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
Falla a Roboão, filho de Salomão, rei de Judah, e a todo o Israel, em Judah e Benjamin, dizendo:
4 Thus says the LORD, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
Assim diz o Senhor: Não subireis, nem pelejareis contra os vossos irmãos, tornae cada um á sua casa; porque de mim proveiu isto. E ouviram as palavras do Senhor, e tornaram d'irem contra Jeroboão.
5 And Rehoboam dwelled in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
E Roboão habitou em Jerusalem: e edificou cidades para fortalezas, em Judah.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Edificou pois a Bethlehem, e a Etam, e a Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
E a Beth-zur, e a Soco, e a Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
E a Gath, e a Maresa, e a Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
E a Adoraim, e a Lachis, e a Azeka,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
E a Zora, e a Aijalon, e a Hebron, que estavam em Judah e em Benjamin; cidades fortes.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
E fortificou estas fortalezas e poz n'ellas maioraes, e armazens de viveres, e d'azeite, e de vinho.
12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
E poz em cada cidade pavezes e lanças; fortificou-as em grande maneira: e Judah e Benjamin foram seus.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
Tambem os sacerdotes, e os levitas, que havia em todo o Israel, se ajuntaram a elle de todos os seus termos.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office to the LORD:
Porque os levitas deixaram os seus arrabaldes, e a sua possessão, e vieram a Judah e a Jerusalem (porque Jeroboão e seus filhos os lançaram fóra para que não ministrassem ao Senhor.
15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
E elle constituiu para si sacerdotes, para os altos, e para os demonios, e para os bezerros, que fizera.)
16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.
Depois d'esses tambem de todas as tribus d'Israel, os que deram o seu coração a buscarem ao Senhor Deus d'Israel, vieram a Jerusalem, para offerecerem sacrificios ao Senhor Deus de seus paes.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
Assim fortaleceram o reino de Judah e corroboraram a Roboão, filho de Salomão, por tres annos: porque tres annos andaram no caminho de David e Salomão.
18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
E Roboão tomou para si, por mulher, a Mahalat, filha de Jerimoth, filho de David; e a Abihail, filha d'Eliab, filho de Jessé.
19 Which bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
A qual lhe pariu filhos, a Jeus, e a Samarias, e a Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
E depois d'ella tomou a Maaca, filha d'Absalão; esta lhe pariu a Abias, e a Atthai, e a Ziza, e a Selomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and three score concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and three score daughters.)
E amava Roboão mais a Maaca, filha d'Absalão, do que a todas as suas outras mulheres e concubinas; porque elle tinha tomado dezoito mulheres, e sessenta concubinas; e gerou vinte e oito filhos, e sessenta filhas.
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brothers: for he thought to make him king.
E Roboão poz por cabeça a Abias, filho de Maaca, para ser maioral entre os seus irmãos; porque o queria fazer rei.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
E usou de prudencia, e de todos os seus filhos alguns espalhou por todas as terras de Judah e Benjamin, por todas as cidades fortes; e deu-lhes viveres em abundancia: e lhes desejou uma multidão de mulheres.
