2 Crônicas 12

1 Succedeu pois que, havendo Roboão confirmado o reino, e havendo-se fortalecido, deixou a lei do Senhor, e com elle todo o Israel.

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 Pelo que succedeu, no anno quinto do rei Roboão, que Sisak, rei do Egypto, subiu contra Jerusalem (porque tinham transgredido contra o Senhor)

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)

3 Com mil e duzentos carros, e com sessenta mil cavalleiros; e era innumeravel a gente que vinha com elle do Egypto, de lybios, suchitas e ethiopes.

With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.

4 E tomou as cidades fortes, que Judah tinha; e veiu a Jerusalem.

And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Então veiu Semaias, o propheta, a Roboão e aos principes de Judah que se ajuntaram em Jerusalem por causa de Sisak, e disse-lhes: Assim diz o Senhor: Vós me deixastes a mim, pelo que eu tambem vos deixei na mão de Sisak.

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

6 Então se humilharam os principes d'Israel, e o rei, e disseram: O Senhor é justo.

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

7 Vendo pois o Senhor que se humilhavam, veiu a palavra do Senhor a Semaias, dizendo: Humilharam-se, não os destruirei; antes em breve lhes darei logar d'escaparem, para que o meu furor se não derrame sobre Jerusalem, por mão de Sisak.

And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

8 Porém serão seus servos: para que conheçam a differença da minha servidão e da servidão dos reinos da terra

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

9 Subiu pois Sisak, rei do Egypto, contra Jerusalem, e tomou os thesouros da casa do Senhor, e os thesouros da casa do rei; levou tudo: tambem tomou os escudos d'oiro, que Salomão fizera.

So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,

10 E fez o rei Roboão em logar d'elles escudos de cobre, e os entregou na mão dos capitães da guarda, que guardavam a porta da casa do rei.

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

11 E succedeu que, entrando o rei na casa do Senhor, vinham os da guarda, e os traziam, e os tornavam a pôr na camara da guarda.

And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

12 E humilhando-se elle, a ira do Senhor se desviou d'elle, para que o não destruisse de todo; porque ainda em Judah havia boas coisas.

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

13 Fortificou-se pois o rei Roboão em Jerusalem, e reinou; porque Roboão era da edade de quarenta e um annos, quando commeçou a reinar; e dezesete annos reinou em Jerusalem, a cidade que o Senhor escolheu d'entre todas as tribus d'Israel, para pôr ali o seu nome; e era o nome de sua mãe Naama, ammonita.

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

14 E fez o que era mal; porquanto não preparou o seu coração para buscar ao Senhor.

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

15 Os successos pois de Roboão, assim os primeiros, como os ultimos, porventura não estão escriptos nos livros de Semaias, o propheta, e de Iddo, o vidente, na relação das genealogias? E havia guerras entre Roboão e Jeroboão em todos os seus dias.

Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16 E Roboão dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado na cidade de David: e Abias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
