1 Reis 12
1 E foi Roboão para Sichem; porque todo o Israel veiu a Sichem, para o fazerem rei.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 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),
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
3 Enviaram, e o mandaram chamar; e Jeroboão e toda a congregação d'Israel vieram, e fallaram a Roboão, dizendo:
and they sent and called him — that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying:
4 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.
'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
5 E elle lhes disse: Ide-vos até ao terceiro dia, e voltae a mim. E o povo se foi.
And he said unto them: 'Depart yet for three days, then come again to me.' And the people departed.
6 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
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
7 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.
And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
8 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.
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
9 E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós que respondamos a este povo, que me fallou, dizéndo: Allivia o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
10 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
And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
11 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.
And now whereas my father did burden you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
12 Veiu pois Jeroboão e todo o povo, ao terceiro dia, a Roboão, como o rei havia fallado, dizendo: Voltae a mim ao terceiro dia.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'
13 E o rei respondeu ao povo duramente; porque deixara o conselho que os anciãos lhe haviam aconselhado.
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him;
14 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.
and spoke to them after 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.'
15 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.
So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 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
And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 No tocante porém aos filhos d'Israel que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, tambem sobre elles reinou Roboão.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 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.
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Assim descairam os israelitas da casa de David até ao dia de hoje.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
20 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.
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
21 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.
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, be assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 Porém veiu a palavra de Deus a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
23 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:
'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:
24 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.
Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; return every man to his house; for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
25 E Jeroboão edificou a Sichem, no monte de Ephraim, e habitou ali; e saiu d'ali, e edificou a Penuel.
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
26 E disse Jeroboão no seu coração: Agora tornará o reino á casa de David.
And Jeroboam said in his heart: 'Now will the kingdom return to the house of David.
27 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.
If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn back unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.'
28 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.
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them: 'Ye have gone up long enough to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
29 E poz um em Bethel, e collocou o outro em Dan.
And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
30 E este feito se tornou em peccado: pois que o povo ia até Dan cada um a adorar.
And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 Tambem fez casa dos altos: e fez sacerdotes dos mais baixos do povo, que não eram dos filhos de Levi.
And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.
32 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.
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, to sacrifice unto the calves that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.
33 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.
And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el 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 unto the altar, to offer.
