1 Reis 14
1 N'aquelle tempo adoeceu Ahias filho de Jeroboão.
At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
2 E disse Jeroboão a sua mulher: Levanta-te agora, e disfarça-te, para que não conheçam que és mulher de Jeroboão: e vae a Silo. Eis que lá está o propheta Ahias, o qual fallou de mim, que eu seria rei sobre este povo.
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.
3 E toma na tua mão dez pães, e bolos, e uma botija de mel, e vae a elle: elle te declarará o que ha de succeder a este menino.
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.”
4 E a mulher de Jeroboão assim fez, e se levantou, e foi a Silo, e entrou na casa de Ahias: e já Ahias não podia ver, porque os seus olhos estavam já escurecidos por causa da sua velhice.
So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
5 Porém o Senhor disse a Ahias: Eis que a mulher de Jeroboão vem consultar-te sobre seu filho, porque está doente: assim e assim lhe fallarás: e ha de ser que, entrando ella, fingirá ser outra.
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.
6 E succedeu que, ouvindo Ahias o ruido de seus pés, entrando ella pela porta, disse elle: Entra, mulher de Jeroboão: porque te disfarças assim? pois eu sou enviado a ti com duras novas.
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.
7 Vae, dize a Jeroboão: Assim diz o Senhor Deus d'Israel: Porquanto te levantei do meio do povo, e te puz por chefe sobre o meu povo d'Israel,
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.
8 E rasguei o reino da casa de David, e a ti t'o dei, e tu não foste como o meu servo David, que guardou os meus mandamentos e que andou após mim com todo o seu coração para fazer sómente o que parecia recto aos meus olhos,
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.
9 Antes tu fizeste o mal, peior do que todos os que foram antes de ti; e foste, e fizeste outros deuses e imagens de fundição, para provocar-me á ira, e me lançaste para traz das tuas costas;
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.
10 Portanto, eis que trarei mal sobre a casa de Jeroboão, e destruirei de Jeroboão todo o homem até ao menino, tanto o encerrado como o desamparado em Israel; e lançarei fóra os descendentes da casa de Jeroboão, como se lança fóra o esterco, até que de todo se acabe
‘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].
11 Quem morrer a Jeroboão na cidade os cães o comerão, e o que morrer no campo as aves do céu o comerão, porque o Senhor o disse.
[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].’
12 Tu pois levanta-te, e vae-te para tua casa: entrando os teus pés na cidade, o menino morrerá.
So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
13 E todo o Israel o pranteará, e o sepultará; porque este só entrará em sepultura de Jeroboão, porquanto se achou n'elle coisa boa para com o Senhor Deus de Israel em casa de Jeroboão.
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.
14 O Senhor porém levantará para si um rei sobre Israel, que destruirá a casa de Jeroboão no mesmo dia: mas que será tambem agora?
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!
15 Tambem o Senhor ferirá a Israel como se move a cana nas aguas; e arrancará a Israel d'esta boa terra que tinha dado a seus paes, e o espargirá para além do rio; porquanto fizeram os seus bosques, provocando o Senhor á ira.
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.
16 E entregará a Israel por causa dos peccados de Jeroboão, o qual peccou, e fez peccar a Israel.
Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
17 Então a mulher de Jeroboão se levantou, e foi, e veiu a Tirza: chegando ella ao lumiar da porta, morreu o menino.
Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
18 E o sepultaram, e todo o Israel o pranteou, conforme á palavra do Senhor, a qual dissera pelo ministerio de seu servo Ahias, o propheta.
All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
19 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Jeroboão, como guerreou, e como reinou, eis que está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis d'Israel.
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’.
20 E foram os dias que Jeroboão reinou vinte e dois annos: e dormiu com seus paes; e Nadab, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
21 E Roboão, filho de Salomão, reinava em Judah: de quarenta e um annos de edade era Roboão quando começou a reinar, e dezesete annos reinou em Jerusalem, na cidade que o Senhor elegera de todas as tribus de Israel para pôr ali o seu nome: e era o nome de sua mãe Naama, ammonita.
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.
22 E fez Judah o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor; e o provocaram a zelo, mais do que todos os seus paes fizeram, com os seus peccados que commetteram.
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.
23 Porque tambem elles edificaram altos, e estatuas, e imagens do bosque sobre todo o alto outeiro e debaixo de toda a arvore verde.
They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
24 Havia tambem rapazes escandalosos na terra: fizeram conforme a todas as abominações das nações que o Senhor tinha lançado da sua possessão de diante dos filhos d'Israel.
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.
25 Succedeu pois que, no quinto anno do rei Roboão, Sisak, rei do Egypto, subiu contra Jerusalem,
When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
26 E tomou os thesouros da casa do Senhor e os thesouros da casa do rei; e ainda tomou tudo; tambem tomou todos os escudos de oiro que Salomão tinha feito.
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.
27 E em logar d'elles fez o rei Roboão escudos de cobre, e os entregou nas mãos dos capitães da guarda que guardavam a porta da casa do rei.
King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
28 E succedeu que, quando o rei entrava na casa do Senhor, os da guarda os levavam, e os tornavam á camara dos da guarda.
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.
29 Quanto ao mais dos successos de Roboão, e a tudo quanto fez, porventura não está escripto no livro das chronicas dos reis de Judah?
Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
30 E houve guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os seus dias.
There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31 E Roboão dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado com seus paes na cidade de David: e era o nome de sua mãe Naama, ammonita: e Abião, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
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.
