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.
After Rehoboam was in complete control of his kingdom, he and all [the other people in] Judah stopped obeying the laws of Yahweh.
2 Pelo que succedeu, no anno quinto do rei Roboão, que Sisak, rei do Egypto, subiu contra Jerusalem (porque tinham transgredido contra o Senhor)
As a result, after Rehoboam had been king for almost five years, Yahweh sent Shishak, the king of Egypt, [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
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.
Along with his army he brought 1,200 chariots and 60,000 soldiers riding horses and a very large number of troops from two regions in Libya, and from Ethiopia.
4 E tomou as cidades fortes, que Judah tinha; e veiu a Jerusalem.
They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as 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.
Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and the other leaders of Judah who had gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid of [the army of] Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “Yahweh says this: ‘You have abandoned me; so now I am abandoning you, to [allow you to be captured by the army of] Shishak.’”
6 Então se humilharam os principes d'Israel, e o rei, e disseram: O Senhor é justo.
Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
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.
When Yahweh realized that they had humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not allow them to be destroyed. Instead, I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak’s army to completely destroy the people of Jerusalem,
8 Porém serão seus servos: para que conheçam a differença da minha servidão e da servidão dos reinos da terra
but they will conquer Jerusalem and force the people there to do what Shishak wants them to do. As a result, the people of Jerusalem will learn [that it is better] to serve me than to serve the kings of other countries.”
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.
When Shishak’s [army] attacked Jerusalem, they took/carried away the valuable things that were in the temple of Yahweh and the valuable things that were in the king’s palace. They took everything [that was valuable], including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] 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.
So King Rehoboam’s workers made bronze shields to be used instead of the gold ones and gave the bronze shields to the commanders of the men who guarded the entrance to his 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.
After that, whenever the king went to the temple, the guards went with him, carrying those bronze shields. Then [when the king left, ] they would return the shields to the guards’ room.
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.
Because Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh stopped being angry with him and did not get rid of him. Instead, he caused good things to happen in Judah.
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 Rehoboam again was in complete control in Jerusalem and continued to be the king [of Judah]. He was 41 years old when he became the king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes in Israel to be the place in which people were to worship him.
14 E fez o que era mal; porquanto não preparou o seu coração para buscar ao Senhor.
Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah. She was from the Ammon people-group. Rehoboam did evil things because he did not try to find out what Yahweh wanted him to do.
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.
An account of all the things that Rehoboam did while he was the king, and lists of the members of his family, are in the scrolls written by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo. The armies of Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly fighting each other.
16 E Roboão dormiu com seus paes, e foi sepultado na cidade de David: e Abias, seu filho, reinou em seu logar.
When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
