2 Crônicas 12

1 Quando o reino de Roboão foi estabelecido e ele era forte, ele abandonou a lei de Iavé, e todo Israel com ele.

And it came to pass, when Rehobo'am had established the kingdom, and when he had become strong, that he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 No quinto ano do rei Roboão, Shishak, rei do Egito, enfrentou Jerusalém, porque eles tinham transgredido contra Javé,

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehobo'am, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, —because they had acted faithlessly against the Lord, —

3 com mil e duzentos carros e sessenta mil cavaleiros. O povo era um povo sem número de pessoas que vieram com ele do Egito: os Lubim, os Sukkiim e os etíopes.

With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen: and innumerable were the people that came with him out of Egypt—the Lubim, the Sukkiyim, and the Ethiopians.

4 Ele tomou as cidades fortificadas que pertenciam a Judá, e veio a Jerusalém.

And he captured the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and he came as far as Jerusalem.

5 Agora o profeta Semaías veio a Roboão e aos príncipes de Judá, que estavam reunidos em Jerusalém por causa de Sisaque, e disse-lhes: “Javé diz: 'Vocês me abandonaram, portanto eu também vos deixei na mão de Sisaque'”.

And Shem'ayah the prophet came to Rehobo'am, and the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Ye have indeed forsaken me, and therefore have I also relinquished you into the hand of Shishak.

6 Então os príncipes de Israel e o rei se humilharam; e eles disseram: “Yahweh é justo”.

Thereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.

7 Quando Javé viu que eles se humilharam, a palavra de Javé veio a Semaías, dizendo: “Eles se humilharam”. Não os destruirei, mas lhes concederei alguma libertação, e minha ira não será derramada sobre Jerusalém pela mão de Shishak.

And when the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, then came the word of the Lord to Shem'ayah, saying, “They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will permit some little to escape from them; and my wrath shall not be poured out over Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.”

8 No entanto, eles serão seus servos, para que conheçam meu serviço, e o serviço dos reinos dos países”.

However they shall be servants unto him, and they shall know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the [various] countries.

9 Então Shishak, rei do Egito, enfrentou Jerusalém e levou os tesouros da casa de Iavé e os tesouros da casa do rei. Ele tirou tudo isso. Ele também tirou os escudos de ouro que Salomão havia feito.

And so came up Shishak the king of Egypt against Jerusalem, and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house: every thing did he take away; and he took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 O rei Roboão fez escudos de bronze em seu lugar, e os entregou às mãos dos capitães da guarda, que guardavam a porta da casa do rei.

And king Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of copper, and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners, who kept guard at the door of the king's house.

11 Tantas vezes quanto o rei entrava na casa de Yahweh, o guarda vinha e os carregava, depois os trazia de volta para a sala da guarda.

And it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, that the runners came and bore them, and carried them back into the apartment of the runners.

12 Quando ele se humilhou, a ira de Iavé se desviou dele, para não destruí-lo completamente. Além disso, havia coisas boas encontradas em Judá.

And when he had humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so that he destroyed him not to make an end [of him]: and also in Judah were some good things [found].

13 Então o rei Roboão se fortaleceu em Jerusalém e reinou; pois Roboão tinha quarenta e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezessete anos em Jerusalém, a cidade que Javé havia escolhido de todas as tribos de Israel para colocar seu nome lá. O nome de sua mãe era Naamah, a amonita.

And king Rehobo'am strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehobo'am was one and forty years old when he became king, and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess.

14 Ele fez o que era maligno, porque não se dispôs a buscar a Iavé.

And he did the evil; because he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.

15 Agora os atos de Roboão, primeiro e último, não estão escritos nas histórias de Semaías, o profeta, e de Ido, o vidente, nas genealogias? Havia guerras entre Roboão e Jeroboão continuamente.

And the acts of Rehobo'am, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Shem'ayah the prophet, and of 'Iddo, the seer concerning the genealogies. And the wars of Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am [lasted] all the days.

16 Rehoboam dormiu com seus pais, e foi enterrado na cidade de David; e Abias, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.

And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abiyah his son became king in his stead.
