1 Kings 12
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
E foi Roboão para Sichem; porque todo o Israel veiu a Sichem, para o fazerem rei.
2 And it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt), he came straight to his own city in the land of Zererah in the hill country of Ephraim.
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo-o Jeroboão, filho de Nebat, estando ainda no Egypto (porque fugira de diante do rei Salomão, e habitava Jeroboão no Egypto),
3 And they sent and called for him. And Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Enviaram, e o mandaram chamar; e Jeroboão e toda a congregação d'Israel vieram, e fallaram a Roboão, dizendo:
4 "Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you."
Teu pae aggravou o nosso jugo; agora, pois, allivia tu a dura servidão de teu pae, e o seu pesado jugo que nos impoz, e nós te serviremos.
5 He said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." The people departed.
E elle lhes disse: Ide-vos até ao terceiro dia, e voltae a mim. 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 to return answer to this people?"
E teve o rei Roboão conselho com os anciãos que estavam na presença de Salomão, seu pae, quando este ainda vivia, dizendo: Como aconselhaes vós que se responda a este povo
7 They spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
E elles lhe fallaram, dizendo: Se hoje fores servo d'este povo, e o servires, e, respondendo-lhe, lhe fallares boas palavras, todos os dias teus servos serão.
8 But he forsook 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.
Porém elle deixou o conselho que os anciãos lhe tinham aconselhado, e teve conselho com os mancebos que haviam crescido com elle, que estavam diante d'elle.
9 He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'"
E disse-lhes: Que aconselhaes vós que respondamos a este povo, que me fallou, dizéndo: Allivia o jugo que teu pae nos impoz?
10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell this people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us;' you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
E os mancebos que haviam crescido com elle lhe fallaram, dizendo: Assim fallarás a este povo que te fallou, dizendo: Teu pae fez pesadissimo o nosso jugo, mas tu o allivia de sobre nós; assim lhe fallarás: Meu dedo minimo é mais grosso do que os lombos de meu pae
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, se meu pae vos carregou d'um jugo pesado, ainda eu augmentarei o vosso jugo: meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei 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."
Veiu pois Jeroboão e todo o povo, ao terceiro dia, a Roboão, como o rei havia fallado, dizendo: Voltae a mim ao terceiro dia.
13 The king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
E o rei respondeu ao povo duramente; porque deixara o conselho que os anciãos lhe haviam aconselhado.
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
E lhe fallou conforme ao conselho dos mancebos, dizendo: Meu pae aggravou o vosso jugo, porém eu ainda augmentarei o vosso jugo; meu pae vos castigou com açoites, porém eu vos castigarei com escorpiões.
15 So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
O rei pois não deu ouvidos ao povo; porque esta revolta vinha do Senhor, para confirmar a sua palavra que o Senhor tinha dito pelo ministerio de Ahias, o silonita, a Jeroboão, filho de Nebat.
16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David." So Israel departed to their tents.
Vendo pois todo o Israel que o rei não lhe dava ouvidos, tornou-lhe o povo a responder, dizendo: Que parte temos nós com David? e não ha para nós herança no filho de Jessé. Ás tuas tendas, ó Israel! Provê agora a tua casa, ó David. Então Israel se foi ás suas tendas
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
No tocante porém aos filhos d'Israel que habitavam nas cidades de Judah, tambem sobre elles reinou Roboão.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Então o rei Roboão enviou a Adoram, que estava sobre os tributos; e todo o Israel o apedrejou com pedras, e morreu: mas o rei Roboão se animou a subir ao carro para fugir para Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
Assim descairam os israelitas da casa de David até ao dia de hoje.
20 It happened, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
E succedeu que, ouvindo todo o Israel que Jeroboão tinha voltado, enviaram, e o chamaram para a congregação, e o fizeram rei sobre todo o Israel: e ninguem seguiu a casa de David senão sómente a tribu de Judah.
21 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Vindo pois Roboão a Jerusalem, ajuntou toda a casa de Judah e a tribu de Benjamin, cento e oitenta mil escolhidos, destros para a guerra, para pelejar contra a casa d'Israel, para restituir o reino a Roboão, filho de Salomão.
22 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Porém veiu a palavra de Deus a Semaias, homem de Deus, dizendo:
23 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
Falla a Roboão, filho de Salomão, rei de Judah, e a toda a casa de Judah, e a Benjamin, e ao resto do povo, dizendo:
24 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
Assim diz o Senhor: Não subireis nem pelejareis contra vossos irmãos, os filhos d'Israel; volte cada um para a sua casa, porque eu é que fiz esta obra. E ouviram a palavra do Senhor, e voltaram segundo a palavra do Senhor.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there, and built Penuel.
E Jeroboão edificou a Sichem, no monte de Ephraim, e habitou ali; e saiu d'ali, e edificou a Penuel.
26 Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
E disse Jeroboão no seu coração: Agora tornará o reino á casa de David.
27 If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah."
Se este povo subir para fazer sacrificios na casa do Senhor, em Jerusalem, o coração d'este povo se tornará a seu senhor, a Roboão, rei de Judah: e me matarão, e tornarão a Roboão, rei de Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and see your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt."
Pelo que o rei tomou conselho, e fez dois bezerros de oiro; e lhes disse: Muito trabalho vos será o subir a Jerusalem; vês aqui teus deuses, ó Israel, que te fizeram subir da terra do Egypto.
29 He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
E poz um em Bethel, e collocou o outro em Dan.
30 Then this thing became a sin, for the people went before the one at Bethel and before the one as far as Dan.
E este feito se tornou em peccado: pois que o povo ia até Dan cada um a adorar.
31 And he made houses on high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Tambem fez casa dos altos: e fez sacerdotes dos mais baixos do povo, que não eram dos filhos de Levi.
32 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; he did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
E fez Jeroboão uma festa no oitavo mez, no dia decimo quinto do mez, como a festa que se fazia em Judah, e sacrificou no altar; similhantemente fez em Bethel, sacrificando os bezerros que fizera: tambem em Bethel estabeleceu sacerdotes dos altos que fizera.
33 He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar, to burn incense.
E sacrificou no altar que fizera em Bethel, no dia decimo quinto do oitavo mez, que elle tinha imaginado no seu coração: assim fez a festa aos filhos de Israel, e sacrificou no altar, queimando incenso.
