1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti ves Izrael je prišel v Sihem, da ga postavijo za kralja.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil še v Egiptu, slišal o tem (kajti pobegnil je izpred prisotnosti kralja Salomona in je Jerobeám prebival v Egiptu),
3 and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
da so poslali in ga poklicali. Jerobeám in vsa Izraelova skupnost pa je prišla in spregovorila Rehabámu, rekoč:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
»Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil boleč. Sedaj torej olajšaj bolečo službo svojega očeta in njegov težek jarem, ki ga je položil na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
Rekel jim je: »Odidite še za tri dni, potem ponovno pridite k meni.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
6 And 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?
Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je še živel in rekel: »Kako svetujete, da lahko odgovorim temu ljudstvu?«
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
Odgovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če hočeš biti ta dan služabnik temu ljudstvu in jim hočeš služiti in jim odgovoriti in jim govoriti dobre besede, potem bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
Toda zapustil je nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so odrasli z njim in ki so stali pred njim
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?
in jim rekel: »Kakšen nasvet dajete vi, da lahko odgovorimo temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Naredi jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil nad nas, lažji?‹«
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
Mladeniči, ki so zrasli z njim, so mu govorili, rekoč: »Tako boš govoril temu ljudstvu, ki ti je govorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor očetova ledja.
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Kakor vam je moj oče naložil težek jarem, bom sedaj dodal vašemu jarmu. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
Tako je Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo tretji dan prišlo k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj določil, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni tretji dan.«
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
Kralj je ljudstvu surovo odgovoril in zapustil nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali.
14 and spake to them after 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.
Spregovoril jim je glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, jaz pa bom vašemu jarmu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval tudi z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Zatorej kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti stvar je bila od Gospoda, da je lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je Gospod po Šilčanu Ahíju govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
Torej ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni prisluhnil, je ljudstvo odgovorilo kralju, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. K svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. Sedaj poglej k svoji lastni hiši, David.« Tako je Izrael odšel v svoje šotore.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Adoráma, ki je bil nad davkom in ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni, da je umrl. Zato je kralj Rehabám pohitel, da se spravi k svojemu bojnemu vozu, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Tako se je Izrael uprl zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
Pripetilo se je, ko je ves Izrael slišal, da je Jerobeám ponovno prišel, da so poslali in ga poklicali k skupnosti in ga postavili za kralja nad vsem Izraelom. Tam ni bilo nikogar, ki je sledil Davidovi hiši, razen samo Judovega rodu.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je zbral vso Judovo hišo, z Benjaminovim rodom, sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelovo hišo, da kraljestvo ponovno privedejo k Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu.
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Toda beseda od Boga je prišla k Šemajáju, Božjemu možu, rekoč:
23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
»Govori Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu, Judovemu kralju in vsej Judovi in Benjaminovi hiši in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
24 Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of Jehovah, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Jehovah.
›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper vaše brate, Izraelove otroke. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je od mene.‹« Prisluhnili so torej Gospodovi besedi in se vrnili, da odidejo, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
Potem je Jerobeám na gori Efrájim zgradil Sihem in tam prebival in odšel od tam ter zgradil Penuél.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now will the kingdom return to the house of David:
Jerobeám je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj se bo kraljestvo vrnilo k Davidovi hiši.
27 if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
Če gre to ljudstvo gor, da opravi klavno daritev v Gospodovi hiši, v Jeruzalemu, potem se bo srce tega ljudstva ponovno obrnilo k njihovemu gospodu, k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu, mene pa bodo ubili in ponovno odšli k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu.«
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Nakar se je kralj posvetoval in naredil dve teleti iz zlata ter jim rekel: »To je za vas preveč, da greste gor v Jeruzalem. Poglejte svoje bogove, oh Izrael, ki so te privedli gor iz egiptovske dežele.«
29 And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
Eno je postavil v Betelu, drugo pa v Danu.
30 And this thing became a sin; for the people went [to worship] before the one, even unto Dan.
Ta stvar je postala greh, kajti ljudstvo je odšlo, da bi oboževalo pred enim, celó k Danu.
31 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.
Naredil je hišo visokih krajev in iz najnižjih izmed ljudstva naredil duhovnike, ki niso bili izmed Lévijevih sinov.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.
Jerobeám je odredil praznovanje v osmem mesecu, na petnajsti dan meseca, podobno prazniku, ki je v Judu in daroval na oltarju. Tako je storil v Betelu, žrtvoval je teletoma, ki ju je naredil in v Betelu je postavil duhovnike visokih krajev, ki jih je naredil.
33 And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el 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 unto the altar, to burn incense.
Tako je daroval na oltarju, ki ga je naredil v Betelu, na petnajsti dan osmega meseca, celó v mesecu, ki ga je zasnoval iz svojega lastnega srca in odredil praznovanje Izraelovim otrokom in daroval na oltarju in zažgal kadilo.
