Chronicles II 10
1 And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
Tada Roboam ode u Šekem, jer su u Šekem došli svi Izraelci da ga zakralje.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled thither from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Čim to ču Nebatov sin Jeroboam - koji je bio u Egiptu kamo bijaše pobjegao pred kraljem Salomonom - vrati se iz Egipta,
3 And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
jer bijahu poslali po nj i dozvali ga. Kad dođoše Jeroboam i sav zbor Izraelov, rekoše Roboamu:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of thy father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
“Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo težak jaram, ti nam sada olakšaj tešku službu svoga oca i teški jaram koji metnu na nas, pa ćemo ti služiti.”
5 And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
On im odgovori: “Za tri dana dođite opet k meni.” I narod ode.
6 And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do ye counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
Tada se kralj Roboam posavjetova sa starcima koji su služili njegovu ocu Salomonu dok je bio živ i upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovome narodu?”
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wouldest this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be thy servants for ever.
A oni mu odgovoriše: “Ako udovoljiš tim ljudima, budeš im blagonaklon i odgovoriš im lijepim riječima, oni će ti uvijek biti sluge.”
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men, who took counsel with him, and he took counsel with the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before him.
Ali on odbaci savjet što mu ga dadoše starci i posavjetova se s mladićima koji su odrasli s njim i bili mu u službi.
9 And he said to them, What do ye advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
Upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovomu narodu koji mi reče: 'Olakšaj jaram što nam ga nametnu tvoj otac!'”
10 And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak to the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and do thou lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shalt thou say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
Odgovoriše mu mladići koji bijahu s njim odrasli: “Narodu koji ti je rekao 'Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo jaram, a ti nam ga olakšaj', odvrati ovako: 'Moj je mali prst deblji od bedara moga oca!
11 And whereas my father chastised you with a heavy yoke, I will also add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, and I will chastise you with scorpions.
Dakle, moj vam je otac nametnuo težak jaram, a ja ću još otežati vaš jaram; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.'”
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
Trećega dana dođe Jeroboam i sav narod k Roboamu, jer im kralj bijaše naredio: “Vratite se k meni trećega dana.”
13 And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Kralj im oštro odgovori; odbacivši savjet starijih,
14 and spoke to them according to 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.
odvrati po savjetu mladih: “Moj je otac otežao vaš jaram, a ja ću još dometnuti na nj; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.”
15 And the king hearkened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
Kralj, dakle, ne htjede poslušati naroda, jer tako upriliči Bog da se ispuni riječ što je preko Šilonjanina Ahije kaza Nabatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
16 for the king did not hearken to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to thy tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
Kad Izraelci vidješe gdje se kralj oglušio, odgovori mu narod: “Kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? Mi nemamo baštine s Jišajevim sinom! U šatore, Izraele! Sad se, Davide, brini za svoj dom!” I sav Izrael ode pod svoje šatore.
17 But the men of Israel, even those who dwelt in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
Roboam zavlada samo nad Izraelovim sinovima koji su živjeli po judejskim gradovima.
18 And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Potom kralj Roboam posla Adorama, nadstojnika za tlaku, ali ga Izraelci kamenovaše i on umrije; a kralj se Roboam brže-bolje pope na kola te pobježe u Jeruzalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
Tako se Izrael odijelio od doma Davidova sve do danas.
