وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ رَحُبْعَامَ وَتَشَدَّدَتْ، تَرَكَ شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ. ١ 1
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٢ 2
And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
بِأَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَدَدٌ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ: لُوبِيِّينَ وَسُكِّيِّينَ وَكُوشِيِّينَ. ٣ 3
with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٤ 4
And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
فَجَاءَ شَمْعِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ وَجْهِ شِيشَقَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَأَنَا أَيْضًا تَرَكْتُكُمْ لِيَدِ شِيشَقَ». ٥ 5
And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, Ye have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
فَتَذَلَّلَ رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالُوا: «بَارٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٦ 6
And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّهُمْ تَذَلَّلُوا، كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى شَمْعِيَا قَائِلًا: «قَدْ تَذَلَّلُوا فَلَا أُهْلِكُهُمْ بَلْ أُعْطِيهِمْ قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلنَّجَاةِ، وَلَا يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِيَدِ شِيشَقَ، ٧ 7
And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
لَكِنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيدًا وَيَعْلَمُونَ خِدْمَتِي وَخِدْمَةَ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي». ٨ 8
Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
فَصَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَخَذَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَتْرَاسَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ. ٩ 9
So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
فَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٠ 10
And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي ٱلسُّعَاةُ وَيَحْمِلُونَهَا، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. ١١ 11
And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
وَلَمَّا تَذَلَّلَ ٱرْتَدَّ عَنْهُ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُ تَمَامًا. وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي يَهُوذَا أُمُورٌ حَسَنَةٌ. ١٢ 12
And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
فَتَشَدَّدَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلَكَ، لِأَنَّ رَحُبْعَامَ كَانَ ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَارَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَضَعَ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهَا دُونَ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ. ١٣ 13
So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهَيِّئْ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
وَأُمُورُ رَحُبْعَامَ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ شَمْعِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَعِدُّو ٱلرَّائِي عَنِ ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ؟ وَكَانَتْ حُرُوبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ١٥ 15
And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١٦ 16
And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
