وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ رَحُبْعَامَ وَتَشَدَّدَتْ، تَرَكَ شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ. ١ 1
When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, and all Israel with him.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٢ 2
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٤ 4
He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, 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
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
فَتَذَلَّلَ رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالُوا: «بَارٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٦ 6
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they 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
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
لَكِنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيدًا وَيَعْلَمُونَ خِدْمَتِي وَخِدْمَةَ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي». ٨ 8
Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
فَصَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَخَذَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَتْرَاسَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ. ٩ 9
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
فَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٠ 10
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي ٱلسُّعَاةُ وَيَحْمِلُونَهَا، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. ١١ 11
As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
وَلَمَّا تَذَلَّلَ ٱرْتَدَّ عَنْهُ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُ تَمَامًا. وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي يَهُوذَا أُمُورٌ حَسَنَةٌ. ١٢ 12
When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
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 Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهَيِّئْ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set 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
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١٦ 16
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
