1 Kings 12
1 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 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived 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), Jeroboam and all the assembly 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 “Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
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 He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
E elle lhes disse: Ide-vos até ao terceiro dia, e voltae a mim. E o povo se foi.
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these 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 They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
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 abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who 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 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós que respondamos a este povo, que me fallou, dizéndo: Allivia o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
10 The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
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 Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but 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 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again 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 The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel 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 spoke to them according to the counsel 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 didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by 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 When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed 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 who lived 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 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labour; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to 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 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
Assim descairam os israelitas da casa de David até ao dia de hoje.
20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for 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 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to 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 to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest 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 ‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way, according to the LORD’s word.
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 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
E Jeroboão edificou a Sichem, no monte de Ephraim, e habitou ali; e saiu d'ali, e edificou a Penuel.
26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
E disse Jeroboão no seu coração: Agora tornará o reino á casa de David.
27 If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even 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 So 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. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you 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 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 This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
E este feito se tornou em peccado: pois que o povo ia até Dan cada um a adorar.
31 He made houses of high places, and made priests from amongst all 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 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so 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 He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn 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.
