2 Crônicas 12

1 E quando Roboão havia confirmado o reino, deixou a lei do SENHOR, e com ele todo Israel.

And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.

2 E no quinto ano do rei Roboão subiu Sisaque rei do Egito contra Jerusalém, (porquanto se haviam rebelado contra o SENHOR, )

Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)

3 Com mil e duzentos carros, e com sessenta mil cavaleiros: mas o povo que vinha com ele do Egito, não tinha número; a saber, de líbios, suquitas, e etíopes.

with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.

4 E tomou as cidades fortes de Judá, e chegou até Jerusalém.

And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.

5 Então veio Semaías profeta a Roboão e aos príncipes de Judá, que estavam reunidos em Jerusalém por causa de Sisaque, e disse-lhes: Assim disse o SENHOR: Vós me deixastes, e eu também vos deixei em mãos de Sisaque.

Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”

6 E os príncipes de Israel e o rei se humilharam, e disseram: Justo é o SENHOR.

And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”

7 E quando viu o SENHOR que se haviam humilhado, foi palavra do SENHOR a Semaías, dizendo: Humilharam-se; não os destruirei; antes os salvarei em breve, e não se derramará minha ira contra Jerusalém por mão de Sisaque.

And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Porém serão seus servos; para que saibam que é servir a mim, e servir aos reinos das nações.

Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”

9 Subiu, pois, Sisaque, rei do Egito a Jerusalém, e tomou os tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e os tesouros da casa do rei; tudo o levou: e tomou os paveses de ouro que Salomão havia feito.

And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.

10 E em lugar deles fez o rei Roboão paveses de bronze, e entregou-os em mãos dos chefes da guarda, os quais guardavam a entrada da casa do rei.

In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.

11 E quando o rei ia à casa do SENHOR, vinham os da guarda, e traziam-nos, e depois os voltavam à câmara da guarda.

And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.

12 E quando ele se humilhou, a ira do SENHOR se separou dele, para não destruí-lo de todo: e também em Judá as coisas foram bem.

Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.

13 Fortificou-se, pois Roboão, e reinou em Jerusalém: e era Roboão de quarenta e um anos quando começou a reinar, e dezessete anos reinou em Jerusalém, cidade que escolheu o SENHOR de todas as tribos de Israel, para pôr nela seu nome. E o nome de sua mãe foi Naamá, amonita.

Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.

14 E fez o mal, porque não dispôs seu coração para buscar ao SENHOR.

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

15 E as coisas de Roboão, primeiras e últimas, não estão escritas nos livros de Semaías profeta e de Ido vidente, no registro das linhagens? E entre Roboão e Jeroboão havia perpétua guerra.

Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.

16 E descansou Roboão com seus pais, e foi sepultado na cidade de Davi: e reinou em seu lugar Abias seu filho.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
