2 Crônicas 11
1 Vindo pois Roboão a Jerusalem, ajuntou da casa de Judah e Benjamin cento e oitenta mil escolhidos, dextros na guerra para pelejarem contra Israel, e para restituirem o reino a Roboão.
And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam.
2 Porém a palavra do Senhor veiu a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
And the Word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying,
3 Falla a Roboão, filho de Salomão, rei de Judah, e a todo o Israel, em Judah e Benjamin, dizendo:
Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying,
4 Assim diz o Senhor: Não subireis, nem pelejareis contra os vossos irmãos, tornae cada um á sua casa; porque de mim proveiu isto. E ouviram as palavras do Senhor, e tornaram d'irem contra Jeroboão.
Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, and you shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they listened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 E Roboão habitou em Jerusalem: e edificou cidades para fortalezas, em Judah.
And Roboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea.
6 Edificou pois a Bethlehem, e a Etam, e a Tekoa,
And he built Bethleem, and Aetan and Thecoe,
7 E a Beth-zur, e a Soco, e a Adullam,
and Baethsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam,
8 E a Gath, e a Maresa, e a Ziph,
and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph,
9 E a Adoraim, e a Lachis, e a Azeka,
and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca,
10 E a Zora, e a Aijalon, e a Hebron, que estavam em Judah e em Benjamin; cidades fortes.
and Saraa, and Aelom, and Chebron, which belong to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities.
11 E fortificou estas fortalezas e poz n'ellas maioraes, e armazens de viveres, e d'azeite, e de vinho.
And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine,
12 E poz em cada cidade pavezes e lanças; fortificou-as em grande maneira: e Judah e Benjamin foram seus.
shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin.
13 Tambem os sacerdotes, e os levitas, que havia em todo o Israel, se ajuntaram a elle de todos os seus termos.
And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts.
14 Porque os levitas deixaram os seus arrabaldes, e a sua possessão, e vieram a Judah e a Jerusalem (porque Jeroboão e seus filhos os lançaram fóra para que não ministrassem ao Senhor.
For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord.
15 E elle constituiu para si sacerdotes, para os altos, e para os demonios, e para os bezerros, que fizera.)
And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made.
16 Depois d'esses tambem de todas as tribus d'Israel, os que deram o seu coração a buscarem ao Senhor Deus d'Israel, vieram a Jerusalem, para offerecerem sacrificios ao Senhor Deus de seus paes.
And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
17 Assim fortaleceram o reino de Judah e corroboraram a Roboão, filho de Salomão, por tres annos: porque tres annos andaram no caminho de David e Salomão.
And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon.
18 E Roboão tomou para si, por mulher, a Mahalat, filha de Jerimoth, filho de David; e a Abihail, filha d'Eliab, filho de Jessé.
And Roboam took to himself for a wife, Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessae.
19 A qual lhe pariu filhos, a Jeus, e a Samarias, e a Zaham.
And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam.
20 E depois d'ella tomou a Maaca, filha d'Absalão; esta lhe pariu a Abias, e a Atthai, e a Ziza, e a Selomith.
And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth.
21 E amava Roboão mais a Maaca, filha d'Absalão, do que a todas as suas outras mulheres e concubinas; porque elle tinha tomado dezoito mulheres, e sessenta concubinas; e gerou vinte e oito filhos, e sessenta filhas.
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
22 E Roboão poz por cabeça a Abias, filho de Maaca, para ser maioral entre os seus irmãos; porque o queria fazer rei.
And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader amongst his brethren, for he intended to make him king.
23 E usou de prudencia, e de todos os seus filhos alguns espalhou por todas as terras de Judah e Benjamin, por todas as cidades fortes; e deu-lhes viveres em abundancia: e lhes desejou uma multidão de mulheres.
And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.
