2 Crónicas 10
Nova Bíblia Viva
1Todos os israelitas foram a Siquém para a coroação de Roboão.
2Nesse meio-tempo, Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, recebera um aviso a respeito da morte de Salomão. Ele estava no Egito nessa ocasião, para onde tinha fugido do rei Salomão. Mais que depressa ele voltou do Egito para a coroação.
3E mandaram chamá-lo. Ele e todo o povo de Israel foram falar com Roboão, e, em nome do povo, ele disse:
4“Seu pai foi um senhor duro no tratamento do povo. Seja menos exigente do que ele, e nós lhe serviremos!”
5Roboão disse a eles: “Voltem dentro de três dias para saberem a minha resposta”. E o povo foi embora.
6O rei Roboão estudou o pedido deles com os homens que haviam sido conselheiros de seu pai Salomão. Esses homens já eram idosos. “O que devo dizer a eles?”, perguntou Roboão.
7“Se você quiser governar sobre eles, é preciso dar uma resposta favorável e tratá-los com bondade, e eles serão os seus servos”.
8Roboão, porém, rejeitou o conselho dos velhos e pediu a opinião dos moços que cresceram com ele e o estavam servindo.
9“O que os meus companheiros acham que eu devo fazer?”, perguntou. “Devo ser menos exigente com o povo do que foi o meu pai?”
10“Nada disso!”, responderam os jovens. “A este povo que disse: ‘Seu pai foi um senhor duro no tratamento do povo. Seja menos exigente do que ele’ — diga: ‘Se vocês acham que meu pai foi duro com vocês, saibam que o meu dedo mínimo é mais grosso do que a cintura do meu pai!
11Vou ser mais duro com vocês, e não menos exigente! Meu pai costumava castigar vocês com chicotes, mas eu vou usar escorpiões!’ ”
12Três dias depois Jeroboão e o povo voltaram para saber a resposta de Roboão.
13E o rei lhes deu uma resposta dura; ele recusou o conselho das autoridades mais velhas de Israel
14e seguiu o conselho dos jovens e disse: “Vou ser mais duro com vocês e não menos exigente do que o meu pai. Meu pai costumava castigar vocês com chicotes, mas eu vou usar escorpiões!”
15Dessa maneira o rei não atendeu ao pedido do povo. Deus levou o rei a fazer isso, a fim de cumprir o que ele havia falado a Jeroboão por meio de Aías, o silonita.
16Quando o povo percebeu que o rei não deu ouvidos ao seu pedido, respondeu ao rei: “Que temos em comum com Davi? Que temos em comum com o filho de Jessé? Vamos para casa, ó Israel! Que Roboão cuide da sua própria casa!” E assim os israelitas foram para as suas casas.
17Contudo, o povo da tribo de Judá ficou fiel a Roboão.
18Mais tarde, quando o rei Roboão enviou Adonirão para exigir trabalhos forçados das outras tribos de Israel, o povo o apedrejou e ele morreu. Quando essa notícia chegou ao rei Roboão, ele tomou o seu carro e fugiu para Jerusalém.
19Dessa maneira, Israel se rebelou contra a dinastia de Davi até o dia de hoje.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ROBOAM fué á Sichêm porque en Sichêm se había juntado todo Israel para hacerlo rey.
2Y como lo oyó Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el cual estaba en Egipto, donde había huído á causa del rey Salomón, volvió de Egipto.
3Y enviaron y llamáronle. Vino pues Jeroboam, y todo Israel, y hablaron á Roboam, diciendo:
4Tu padre agravó nuestro yugo: afloja tú, pues, ahora algo de la dura servidumbre, y del grave yugo con que tu padre nos apremió, y te serviremos.
5Y él les dijo: Volved á mí de aquí á tres días. Y el pueblo se fué.
6Entonces el rey Roboam tomó consejo con los viejos, que habían estado delante de Salomón su padre cuando vivía, y díjoles: ¿Cómo aconsejáis vosotros que responda á este pueblo?
7Y ellos le hablaron, diciendo: Si te condujeres humanamente con este pueblo, y los agradares, y les hablares buenas palabras, ellos te servirán perpetuamente.
8Mas él, dejando el consejo que le dieron los viejos, tomó consejo con los mancebos que se habían criado con él, y que delante de él asistían;
9Y díjoles: ¿Qué aconsejáis vosotros que respondamos á este pueblo, que me ha hablado, diciendo: Alivia algo del yugo que tu padre puso sobre nosotros?
10Entonces los mancebos que se habían criado con él, le hablaron, diciendo: Así dirás al pueblo que te ha hablado diciendo, Tu padre agravó nuestro yugo, mas tú descárganos: así les dirás: Lo más menudo mío es más grueso que los lomos de mi padre.
11Así que, mi padre os cargó de grave yugo, y yo añadiré á vuestro yugo: mi padre os castigó con azotes, y yo con escorpiones.
12Vino pues Jeroboam con todo el pueblo á Roboam al tercer día: según el rey les había mandado diciendo: Volved á mí de aquí á tres días.
13Y respondióles el rey ásperamente; pues dejó el rey Roboam el consejo de los viejos,
14Y hablóles conforme al consejo de los mancebos, diciendo: Mi padre agravó vuestro yugo, y yo añadiré á vuestro yugo: mi padre os castigó con azotes, y yo con escorpiones.
15Y no escuchó el rey al pueblo; porque la causa era de Dios, para cumplir Jehová su palabra que había hablado, por Ahías Silonita, á Jeroboam hijo de Nabat.
16Y viendo todo Israel que el rey no les había oído, respondió el pueblo al rey, diciendo: ¿Qué parte tenemos nosotros con David, ni herencia en el hijo de Isaí? ¡Israel, cada uno á sus estancias! ¡David, mira ahora por tu casa! Así se fué todo Israel á sus estancias.
17Mas reinó Roboam sobre los hijos de Israel que habitaban en las ciudades de Judá.
18Envió luego el rey Roboam á Adoram, que tenía cargo de los tributos; pero le apedrearon los hijos de Israel, y murió. Entonces se esforzó el rey Roboam, y subiendo en un carro huyó á Jerusalem.
19Así se apartó Israel de la casa de David hasta hoy.
King James Version
1And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
10And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
11For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
World English Bible
1Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
2When 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.
3They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
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.”
5He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
6King 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?”
7They 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.”
8But 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.
9He 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’?”
10The 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.
11Now 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.’”
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
13The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men,
14and 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.”
15So 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.
16When 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.
17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18Then 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.
19So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
