< 2 Crônicas 10 >

1 E foi Roboão a Sichem, porque todo o Israel tinha vindo a Sichem para o fazerem rei.
And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
2 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.
And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled there from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Porque enviaram a elle, e o chamaram: e veiu pois Jeroboão com todo o Israel: e fallaram a Roboão dizendo:
And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
4 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.
Your father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of your father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 E elle lhes disse: D'aqui a tres dias tornae a mim. Então o povo se foi.
And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
6 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?
And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do you counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
7 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.
And they spoke to him, saying, If you would this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be your servants for ever.
8 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.
But he forsook the advice of the old men, who took counsel with him, and he took counsel with the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before him.
9 E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós, que respondamos a este povo? que me fallou, dizendo: Allivia-nos o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
And he said to them, What do you advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which your father laid upon us?
10 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
And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you speak to the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shall you say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 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.
And whereas my father chastised you with a heavy yoke, I will also add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, and I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Veiu pois Jeroboão, e todo o povo a Roboão, no terceiro dia, como o rei tinha ordenado, dizendo: Tornae a mim ao terceiro dia.
And Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 E o rei lhe respondeu asperamente: porque o rei Roboão deixou o conselho dos anciãos.
And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 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.
and spoke to them according to 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.
15 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.
And the king listened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
16 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.
for the king did not listen to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Porém, quanto aos filhos de Israel, que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, sobre elles reinou Roboão.
But the men of Israel, even those who lived in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
18 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.
And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Assim se rebellaram os israelitas contra a casa de David, até ao dia d'hoje.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
