2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
E Roboão foi a Siquém porque em Siquém se havia juntado todo Israel para fazê-lo rei.
2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
E quando o ouviu Jeroboão filho de Nebate, o qual estava em Egito, de onde havia fugido por causa do rei Salomão, voltou do Egito.
3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
E enviaram e chamaram-lhe. Veio, pois, Jeroboão, e todo Israel, e falaram a Roboão, dizendo:
4 “Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
Teu pai agravou nosso jugo: alivia tu, pois, agora algo da dura servidão, e do grave jugo com que teu pai nos pressionou, e te serviremos.
5 He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
E ele lhes disse: Voltai a mim daqui a três dias. E o povo se foi.
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”
Então o rei Roboão tomou conselho com os anciãos, que haviam estado diante de Salomão seu pai quando vivia, e disse-lhes: Como aconselhais vós que responda a este povo?
7 They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
E eles lhe falaram, dizendo: Se te conduzires humanamente com este povo, e os agradares, e lhes falares boas palavras, eles te servirão perpetuamente.
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
Mas ele, deixando o conselho que lhe deram os anciãos, tomou conselho com os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, e que diante dele assistiam;
9 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhais vós que respondamos a este povo, que me falou, dizendo: Alivia algo do jugo que teu pai pôs sobre nós?
10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
Então os rapazes que se haviam criado com ele, lhe falaram, dizendo: Assim dirás ao povo que te falou dizendo, Teu pai agravou nosso jugo, mas tu livra-nos da carga: assim lhes dirás: O meu dedo mínimo é mais espesso que os lombos de meu pai.
11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
Assim que, meu pai vos impôs carga de grave jugo, e eu acrescentarei a vosso jugo: meu pai vos castigou com açoites, e eu com escorpiões.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
Veio, pois, Jeroboão com todo o povo a Roboão ao terceiro dia: segundo o rei lhes havia mandado dizendo: Voltai a mim daqui a três dias.
13 The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men,
E respondeu-lhes o rei asperamente; pois deixou o rei Roboão o conselho dos anciãos,
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
E falou-lhes conforme ao conselho dos rapazes, dizendo: Meu pai agravou vosso jugo, e eu acrescentarei a vosso jugo: meu pai vos castigou com açoites, e eu com escorpiões.
15 So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
E não escutou o rei ao povo; porque a causa era de Deus, para cumprir o SENHOR sua palavra que havia falado, por Aías silonita, a Jeroboão filho de Nebate.
16 When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.
E vendo todo Israel que o rei não lhes havia ouvido, respondeu o povo ao rei, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com Davi, nem herança no filho de Jessé? Israel, cada um a suas moradas! Davi, olha agora por tua casa! Assim se foi todo Israel a suas casas.
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Mas reinou Roboão sobre os filhos de Israel que habitavam nas cidades de Judá.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Enviou logo o rei Roboão a Adorão, que tinha cargo dos tributos; mas lhe apedrejaram os filhos de Israel, e morreu. Então se esforçou o rei Roboão, e subindo em um carro fugiu a Jerusalém.
19 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
Assim se separou Israel da casa de Davi até hoje.
