I Livro dos Reis 14

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Por aquele tempo, Abias, filho de Jeroboão, caiu doente. Jeroboão disse à sua mulher:	1 In that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.
2 Disfarça-te, para que não conheçam que és minha mulher, e vai a Silo, onde está o profeta Aías, o qual me predisse que eu reinaria sobre este povo.	2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: “Rise up, and change clothing, so that you will not be recognized to be the wife of Jeroboam. And go to Shiloh, where the prophet Ahijah is, who said to me that I should reign over this people.
3 Toma contigo dez pães, bolos e um pote de mel, e vai ter com ele. Ele te dirá o que vai acontecer com o menino.	3 Also, take in your hand ten loaves, and dried bread, and a container of honey, and go to him. For he will reveal to you what will happen to this boy.”
4 Assim fez a mulher de Jeroboão: pôs-se a caminho para Silo, e foi à casa de Aías. Este já não podia ver, porque a velhice lhe tinha obscurecido os olhos.	4 The wife of Jeroboam did just as he had said. And rising up, she went away to Shiloh. And she arrived at the house of Ahijah. But he was unable to see, because his eyes had dimmed due to old age.
5 Mas o Senhor disse-lhe: Eis que aí vem a mulher de Jeroboão para consultar-te a respeito de seu filho doente. Dir-lhe-ás isto e isto. Ao chegar, ela se fará passar por outra.	5 Then the Lord said to Ahijah: “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam enters, so that she may consult you over her son, who is ill. You shall say one thing and another to her.” Therefore, as she was entering, not presenting herself to be who she was,
6 Ouvindo o ruído dos seus passos, ao entrar pela porta, Aías disse-lhe: Entra, mulher de Jeroboão; por que te queres fazer passar por outra? Tenho uma triste mensagem para ti.	6 Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, entering through the door. And he said: “Enter, O wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? But I have been sent to you with harsh news.
7 Vai e dize a Jeroboão: Eis o que diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel: Elevei-te do meio do povo, para fazer de ti o príncipe de meu povo de Israel.	7 Go, and tell Jeroboam: ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Although I exalted you from the midst of the people, and I granted to you to be the leader over my people Israel,
8 Dividi o reino da casa de Davi para dar-te uma parte. Tu, porém, não seguiste o exemplo de meu servo Davi, que guardava os meus mandamentos e me seguia de todo o seu coração, fazendo sempre o que me era agradável.	8 and I tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and I gave it to you, yet you have not been like David, my servant, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with his whole heart, doing what was pleasing in my sight.
9 Fizeste maiores males que todos os que te precederam, e chegaste até a fazer para ti deuses estranhos e figuras fundidas, provocando a minha ira; lançaste-me para trás das costas!	9 Instead, you have worked evil beyond all those who were before you. And you have made for yourself strange gods and molten images, so that you provoke me to anger. And you have cast me behind your back.
10 Por isso farei vir males maiores sobre a casa de Jeroboão; exterminarei de Israel toda a sua família, até o último dos varões, escravo ou livre; varrerei a casa de Jeroboão como se varre o lixo, até que não fique mais nada.	10 For this reason, behold, I will lead evils over the house of Jeroboam, and I will strike down from Jeroboam that which urinates against a wall, and that which is lame, and that which is last in Israel. And I will cleanse that which remains of the house of Jeroboam, just as dung is usually cleaned away, until there is purity.
11 Todo membro da casa de Jeroboão que morrer na cidade será devorado pelos cães; e os que morrerem no campo serão comidos pelas aves do céu. É o Senhor quem o diz.	11 Those who will have died of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will devour them. And those who will have died in the field, the birds of the heavens will devour them. For the Lord has spoken.’
12 Volta, pois, para a tua casa. Logo que puseres os pés na cidade, o menino morrerá.	12 Therefore, you must rise up, and go to your house. And in the city, at the very entrance of your feet, the boy will die.
13 Todo o Israel o chorará e o sepultará, porque este será o único da família de Jeroboão que terá uma sepultura, visto ter sido o único desta família em quem o Senhor, Deus de Israel, encontrou algo de bom.	13 And all of Israel will mourn him, and will bury him. For he alone of Jeroboam shall be brought into a sepulcher. For concerning him, there has been found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 O Senhor suscitará em Israel um rei que exterminará a casa de Jeroboão. Mas que digo? Isto já acontece!	14 But the Lord has appointed for himself a king over Israel, who will strike down the house of Jeroboam, in this day and in this time.
15 O Senhor vai ferir Israel. Como o caniço é levado pelas águas, assim o Senhor os tirará dessa boa terra que ele deu aos seus pais e os dispersará para além do Eufrates, porque fabricaram para si ídolos que provocam a cólera do Senhor.	15 And the Lord God shall strike Israel, just as a reed is usually shaken in the water. And he will uproot Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers. And he will winnow them beyond the river. For they have made for themselves sacred groves, so that they have provoked the Lord.
16 O Senhor abandonará Israel, por causa dos pecados de Jeroboão, que pecou e arrastou também Israel ao seu pecado.	16 And the Lord will hand over Israel, because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and caused Israel to sin.”
17 A mulher de Jeroboão levantou-se e partiu. Ao entrar em Tersa, no momento em que entrava pela porta da casa, o menino morreu.	17 And so, the wife of Jeroboam rose up, and she went away. And she arrived at Tirzah. And as she was entering the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 Sepultaram-no e todo o Israel o pranteou, assim como o Senhor o predisse pelo seu servo, o profeta Aías.	18 And they buried him, and all of Israel mourned for him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah, the prophet.
19 O resto das ações de Jeroboão, a história de suas campanhas e de seu governo, tudo isto está consignado no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel.	19 Now the rest of the words of Jeroboam, the manner in which he fought, and the manner in which he reigned, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.
20 O seu reinado durou vinte e dois anos. Depois disso, adormeceu com seus pais, e seu filho Nadab sucedeu-lhe no trono.	20 And the days during which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he slept with his fathers. And Nadab, his son, reigned in his place.
21 Roboão, filho de Salomão, reinou sobre Judá. Tinha quarenta e um anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezessete anos em Jerusalém, a cidade que o Senhor escolheu entre todas as tribos de Israel para ali estabelecer o seu nome. Sua mãe chamava-se Naama, a amonita.	21 Now Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. Rehoboam 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 place his name there. And the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
22 O povo de Judá fez o mal diante do Senhor, e com os seus pecados excitaram-lhe o zelo mais do que tinham feito os seus pais.	22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked him beyond all that their fathers had done, by their sins that they committed.
23 Edificaram para si lugares altos, estelas e ídolos asserás sobre todas as colinas e debaixo de tudo que fosse árvore verde.	23 For they, too, built for themselves altars, and statues, and sacred groves, upon every high hill and under every leafy tree.
24 Até prostitutas {sagradas} houve na terra. Imitaram todas as abominações dos povos que o Senhor tinha expulsado de diante dos israelitas.	24 Moreover, the effeminate were in the land, and they committed all the abominations of the peoples that the Lord had destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
25 No quinto ano do reinado de Roboão, Sesac, rei do Egito, atacou Jerusalém	25 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem.
26 e tomou os tesouros do templo do Senhor, os do palácio real, roubou tudo, até mesmo os escudos de ouro que Salomão tinha mandado fazer.	26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the royal treasures, and he plundered everything, including the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 Em sua substituição, o rei Roboão mandou fazer escudos de bronze, e os entregou aos chefes da guarda da porta do palácio real.	27 In place of these, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and he delivered them into the hand of the commanders of the shield bearers, and of those who were keeping the night watch before the gate of the king’s house.
28 Cada vez que o rei se dirigia ao templo do Senhor, os guardas levavam esses escudos; depois tornavam a colocá-los no corpo da guarda.	28 And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, these were carried by those who held the office to go before him. And afterward, they carried them back to the armory of the shield bearers.
29 O resto da história de Roboão e seus atos, tudo está consignado no livro das Crônicas dos reis de Judá.	29 Now the rest of the words of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, these were written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah.
30 Jeroboão e Roboão estiveram continuamente em hostilidades.	30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, during all the days.
31 Roboão adormeceu com os seus pais e foi sepultado com eles na cidade de Davi. Sua mãe chamava-se Naama, a amonita. Seu filho Abião sucedeu-lhe no trono.	31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And his mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
