1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
Naquela época Abijah, o filho de Jeroboam, adoeceu.
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
Jeroboam disse a sua esposa: “Por favor, levante-se e disfarce-se, para que você não seja reconhecida como esposa de Jeroboam. Vá para Shiloh. Eis que Ahijah o profeta está lá, que disse que eu seria rei sobre este povo.
3 Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
Leve consigo dez pães, alguns bolos e um pote de mel, e vá até ele. Ele vos dirá o que será da criança”.
4 So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
A esposa de Jeroboam o fez, levantou-se e foi para Shiloh, e veio para a casa de Ahijah. Agora Ahijah não podia ver, pois seus olhos estavam fixos por causa de sua idade.
5 But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
Yahweh disse a Ahijah: “Eis que a esposa de Jeroboão vem para lhe perguntar sobre seu filho, pois ele está doente. Diga-lhe tal e tal; pois será, quando ela entrar, que ela fingirá ser outra mulher”.
6 But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
Então quando Ahijah ouviu o som de seus pés ao entrar pela porta, ele disse: “Entre, mulher de Jeroboam! Por que você finge ser outra? Pois fui enviado a você com pesadas notícias.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
Go, diga a Jeroboão: “Yahweh, o Deus de Israel, diz: “Porque te exaltei do meio do povo, e te fiz príncipe sobre meu povo Israel,
8 I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
e rasguei o reino da casa de Davi, e te dei a ti”; e ainda não foste como meu servo Davi, que guardou meus mandamentos, e que me seguiu de todo o coração, para fazer apenas o que estava certo aos meus olhos,
9 But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
mas fizeste o mal acima de todos que foram antes de ti, e foste e fizeste para ti outros deuses, imagens fundidas, para me provocar à ira, e me lançaram nas suas costas,
10 ‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
portanto, eis que trarei o mal sobre a casa de Jeroboão, e cortarei de Jeroboão todo aquele que urina em um muro, aquele que está calado e aquele que fica à solta em Israel, e varrerei completamente a casa de Jeroboão, como um homem varre o esterco até que tudo desapareça.
11 [The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
Os cães comerão aquele que pertence a Jeroboão que morrer na cidade; e os pássaros do céu comerão aquele que morrer no campo, pois Yahweh o disse”'.
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
Levante-se, portanto, e vá para sua casa. Quando seus pés entrarem na cidade, a criança morrerá.
13 All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
Todo Israel chorará por ele e o enterrará; pois somente ele de Jeroboão virá à sepultura, porque nele se encontra algo de bom para Javé, o Deus de Israel, na casa de Jeroboão.
14 Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
Além disso, Javé levantará para si um rei sobre Israel que cortará a casa de Jeroboão. Este é o dia! O quê? Mesmo agora.
15 Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
Pois Javé atacará Israel, enquanto uma cana é sacudida na água; e arrancará Israel desta boa terra que deu a seus pais, e os espalhará para além do rio, porque fizeram seus bastões de Aserah, provocando Javé à ira.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Ele desistirá de Israel por causa dos pecados de Jeroboão, que ele pecou, e com os quais ele fez Israel pecar”.
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
A esposa de Jeroboam se levantou e partiu, e veio para Tirzah. Quando ela chegou ao limiar da casa, a criança morreu.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Todo Israel o enterrou e chorou por ele, de acordo com a palavra de Javé, que ele falou por seu servo Ahijah, o profeta.
19 Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
O resto dos atos de Jeroboão, como ele lutou e como reinou, eis que estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Os dias que Jeroboão reinou foram vinte e dois anos; depois ele dormiu com seus pais, e Nadab, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
21 Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
Rehoboam, filho de Salomão, reinou em Judá. Roboão tinha quarenta e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezessete anos em Jerusalém, a cidade que Javé havia escolhido de todas as tribos de Israel, para colocar seu nome lá. O nome de sua mãe era Naamah, a amonita.
22 The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
Judá fez o que era mau aos olhos de Iavé, e eles o provocaram a ciúmes com seus pecados que cometeram, sobretudo que seus pais tinham feito.
23 They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
Pois eles também construíram para si mesmos lugares altos, pilares sagrados e varas de Asherah em cada colina alta e debaixo de cada árvore verde.
24 Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
Havia também sodomitas na terra. Eles faziam de acordo com todas as abominações das nações que Javé expulsava diante dos filhos de Israel.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
No quinto ano do rei Roboão, Shishak, rei do Egito, enfrentou Jerusalém;
26 They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
e tirou os tesouros da casa de Iavé e os tesouros da casa do rei. Ele até tirou tudo, incluindo todos os escudos de ouro que Salomão havia feito.
27 King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
O rei Roboão fez escudos de bronze em seu lugar, e os entregou às mãos dos capitães da guarda, que guardavam a porta da casa do rei.
28 Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
Foi assim que, tantas vezes quanto o rei entrava na casa de Yahweh, a guarda os aborrecia e os trazia de volta para a sala da guarda.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Agora o resto dos atos de Rehoboam, e tudo o que ele fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Havia uma guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão continuamente.
31 Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
Rehoboam dormiu com seus pais, e foi enterrado com seus pais na cidade de David. O nome de sua mãe era Naamah, a amonita. Abijam, seu filho reinou em seu lugar.
