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 when Rehobo'am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom again to Rehobo'am.
2 Porém a palavra do Senhor veiu a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
But the word of the Lord came unto Shema'yahu 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:
Say unto Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, the king of Judah 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 hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jerobo'am.
5 E Roboão habitou em Jerusalem: e edificou cidades para fortalezas, em Judah.
And Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities as fortresses in Judah.
6 Edificou pois a Bethlehem, e a Etam, e a Tekoa,
He built, namely, Beth-lechem, and 'Etam, and Thekoa'.
7 E a Beth-zur, e a Soco, e a Adullam,
And Beth-zur, and Socho, and 'Adullam,
8 E a Gath, e a Maresa, e a Ziph,
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 E a Adoraim, e a Lachis, e a Azeka,
And Adorayim and Lachish, and 'Azekah,
10 E a Zora, e a Aijalon, e a Hebron, que estavam em Judah e em Benjamin; cidades fortes.
And Zor'ah, and Ayalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
11 E fortificou estas fortalezas e poz n'ellas maioraes, e armazens de viveres, e d'azeite, e de vinho.
And he strengthened the strong-holds, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
12 E poz em cada cidade pavezes e lanças; fortificou-as em grande maneira: e Judah e Benjamin foram seus.
And in each and every city [he placed] shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong: and thus remained with him Judah 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 that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory.
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 their open districts and their possession, and went to Judah and Jerusalem; because Jerobo'am and his sons cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord,
15 E elle constituiu para si sacerdotes, para os altos, e para os demonios, e para os bezerros, que fizera.)
And [because] he ordained for himself priests for the high-places, and for the evil spirits, and for the calves which he had 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 after them [came] out of all the tribes of Israel such as directed their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel: these came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord, the 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 Judah, and brought power to Rehobo'am, the son of Solomon, during three years; for they walked in the way of David and Solomon during three years.
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 Rehobo'am took himself as wife Machalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and] Abichayil the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 A qual lhe pariu filhos, a Jeus, e a Samarias, e a Zaham.
And she bore to him sons: Je'ush, and Shamaryah, and Zaham.
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 after her did he take Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom; and she bore to him Abiyah, and 'Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
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 Rehobo'am loved Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begat twenty and 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 Rehobo'am appointed Abiyah the son of Ma'achah to be the chief, to be ruler among his brethren; because [he desired] 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 dealt understandingly, and dispersed all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and he required [for them] a multitude of wives.
