1 Reis 14
1 Naquele tempo Abias filho de Jeroboão caiu enfermo,
At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
2 E disse Jeroboão à sua mulher: Levanta-te agora, disfarça-te, porque não te conheçam que és a mulher de Jeroboão, e vai a Siló; que ali está Aías profeta, o que me disse que eu havia de ser rei sobre este povo.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
3 E toma em tua mão dez pães, e bolos, e uma botija de mel, e vai a ele; que te declare o que será deste jovem.
Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
4 E a mulher de Jeroboão o fez assim; e levantou-se, e foi a Siló, e veio à casa de Aías. E não podia já ver Aías, que seus olhos se haviam escurecido à causa de sua velhice.
So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
5 Mas o SENHOR havia dito a Aías: Eis que a mulher de Jeroboão virá a consultar-te por seu filho, que está enfermo: assim e assim lhe responderás; pois será que quando ela vier, virá dissimulada.
But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
6 E quando Aías ouviu o som de seus pés quando entrava pela porta, disse: Entra, mulher de Jeroboão; por que te finges outra? Porém eu sou enviado a ti com revelação dura.
But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
7 Vai, e dize a Jeroboão: Assim disse o SENHOR Deus de Israel: Porquanto eu te levantei de em meio do povo, e te fiz príncipe sobre meu povo Israel,
Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
8 E rompi o reino da casa de Davi, e o entreguei a ti; e tu não foste como Davi meu servo, que guardou meus mandamentos e andou após o mim com todo seu coração, fazendo somente o direito diante de meus olhos;
I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
9 Antes fizeste o mau sobre todos os que foram antes de ti: que foste e te fizeste deuses alheios e de fundição para irar-me, e a mim me lançaste atrás tuas costas:
But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
10 Portanto, eis que eu trago mal sobre a casa de Jeroboão, e eu exterminarei de Jeroboão todo macho, tanto o escravo como o livre em Israel; e varrerei a posteridade da casa de Jeroboão, como é varrido o lixo, até que seja acabada.
‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
11 O que morrer dos de Jeroboão na cidade, lhe comerão os cães; e o que morrer no campo, as aves do céu o comerão; porque o SENHOR o disse.
[The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
12 E tu levanta-te, e vai-te à tua casa; que em entrando teu pé na cidade, morrerá o jovem.
So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
13 E todo Israel o lamentará, e lhe enterrarão; porque somente ele dos de Jeroboão entrará em sepultura; porquanto se achou nele alguma coisa boa do SENHOR Deus de Israel, na casa de Jeroboão.
All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
14 E o SENHOR se levantará um rei sobre Israel, o qual exterminará a casa de Jeroboão neste dia; e que, se agora?
Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
15 E o SENHOR sacudirá a Israel, ao modo que a cana se agita nas águas: e ele arrancará a Israel desta boa terra que havia dado a seus pais, e os dispersará da outra parte do rio, porquanto fizeram seus bosques, irando ao SENHOR.
Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
16 E ele entregará a Israel pelos pecados de Jeroboão, o qual pecou, e fez pecar a Israel.
Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
17 Então a mulher de Jeroboão se levantou, e se foi, e veio a Tirsa: e entrando ela pelo umbral da casa, o jovem morreu.
Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
18 E enterraram-no, e lamentaram-no todo Israel, conforme à palavra do SENHOR, que ele havia falado por mão de seu servo Aías profeta.
All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
19 Os outros feitos de Jeroboão, que guerras fez, e como reinou, tudo está escrito no livro das histórias dos reis de Israel.
Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
20 O tempo que reinou Jeroboão foram vinte e dois anos; e havendo descansado com seus pais, reinou em seu lugar Nadabe seu filho.
Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
21 E Roboão filho de Salomão reinou em Judá. De quarenta e um anos era Roboão quando começou a reinar, e dezessete anos reinou em Jerusalém, cidade que o SENHOR elegeu de todas as tribos de Israel para pôr ali seu nome. O nome de sua mãe foi Naamá, amonita.
Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
22 E Judá fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e iraram-lhe mais que tudo o que seus pais haviam feito em seus pecados que cometeram.
The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
23 Porque eles também se edificaram altos, estátuas, e bosques, em todo morro alto, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa:
They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
24 E havia também sodomitas na terra, e fizeram conforme a todas as abominações das nações que o SENHOR havia lançado diante dos filhos de Israel.
Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
25 Ao quinto ano do rei Roboão subiu Sisaque rei do Egito contra Jerusalém.
When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
26 E tomou os tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e os tesouros da casa real, e saqueou-o tudo: levou-se também todos os escudos de ouro que Salomão havia feito.
They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
27 E em lugar deles fez o rei Roboão escudos de bronze, e deu-os em mãos dos capitães dos da guarda, os quais guardavam a porta da casa real.
King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
28 E quando o rei entrava na casa do SENHOR, os da guarda os levavam; e punham-nos depois na câmara dos da guarda.
Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
29 Os demais dos feitos de Roboão, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritas nas crônicas dos reis de Judá?
Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
30 E havia guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão todos os dias.
There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31 E descansou Roboão com seus pais, e foi sepultado com seus pais na cidade de Davi. O nome de sua mãe foi Naamá, amonita. E reinou em seu lugar Abião seu filho.
Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
