2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
E foi Roboão a Sichem, porque todo o Israel tinha vindo a Sichem para o fazerem rei.
2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo-o Jeroboão, filho de Nebat (o qual estava então no Egypto para onde fugira da presença do rei Salomão), voltou Jeroboão do Egypto.
3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Porque enviaram a elle, e o chamaram: e veiu pois Jeroboão com todo o Israel: e fallaram a Roboão dizendo:
4 “Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
Teu pae fez duro o nosso jugo, allivia tu pois agora a dura servidão de teu pae, e o pesado jugo d'elle, que nos tinha imposto, e servir-te-hemos.
5 He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
E elle lhes disse: D'aqui a tres dias tornae a mim. Então 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 about how to answer these people?”
E teve Roboão conselho com os anciãos, que estiveram perante Salomão seu pae, emquanto viveu, dizendo: Como aconselhaes vós que se responda a este povo?
7 They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Se te fizeres benigno e affavel com este povo, e lhes fallares boas palavras, todos os dias serão teus servos.
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 deram: e teve conselho com os mancebos, que haviam crescido com elle, e estavam perante elle.
9 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to 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, dizendo: Allivia-nos o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
E os mancebos, que com elle haviam crescido, lhe fallaram, dizendo: Assim dirás a este povo, que te fallou, dizendo: Teu pae aggravou o nosso jugo, tu porém allivia-nos: assim pois lhes fallarás: O meu dedo minimo é mais grosso do que os lombos de meu pae
11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, 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 fez carregar d'um jugo pesado, eu ainda accrescentarei sobre 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 a Roboão, no terceiro dia, como o rei tinha ordenado, dizendo: Tornae a mim ao terceiro dia.
13 The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men,
E o rei lhe respondeu asperamente: porque o rei Roboão deixou o conselho dos anciãos.
14 and spoke to them after the counsel 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 fallou-lhes conforme ao conselho dos mancebos, dizendo: Meu pae aggravou o vosso jugo, porém eu lhe accrescentarei mais: 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 brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Assim o rei não deu ouvidos ao povo, porque esta mudança vinha de Deus, para que o Senhor confirmasse a sua palavra, a qual fallara pelo ministerio d'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 do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.
Vendo pois todo o Israel, que o rei lhes não dava ouvidos, então o povo respondeu ao rei, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com David? já não temos herança no filho d'Isai; Israel, cada um ás suas tendas! Olha agora pela tua casa, ó David. Assim todo o Israel se foi para as suas tendas.
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Porém, quanto aos filhos de Israel, que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, sobre elles reinou Roboão.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labour; and the children of 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 Hadoram, que tinha cargo dos tributos; porém os filhos d'Israel o apedrejaram com pedras, de que morreu: então o rei Roboão se esforçou a subir para o seu carro, e fugiu para Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
Assim se rebellaram os israelitas contra a casa de David, até ao dia d'hoje.
