< Chronicles II 10 >

1 And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti v Sihem je prišel ves Izrael, da ga postavijo za kralja.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled there from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil v Egiptu, kamor je pobegnil pred prisotnostjo kralja Salomona, to slišal, da se je Jerobeám vrnil iz Egipta.
3 And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
Poslali so in ga poklicali. Tako je Jerobeám in ves Izrael prišel in govoril Rehabámu, rekoč:
4 Your father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of your father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
»Tvoj oče je naredil naš jarem boleč. Sedaj torej nekako olajšaj boleče hlapčevstvo svojega očeta in njegov težki jarem, ki ga je nadel na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
5 And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
Rekel jim je: »Pridite ponovno k meni po treh dneh.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
6 And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do you counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je ta še živel, rekoč: »Kakšen nasvet mi dajete, da temu ljudstvu vrnem odgovor?«
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If you would this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be your servants for ever.
Spregovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če boš prijazen do tega ljudstva, jim ugajal in jim govoril dobre besede, bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
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.
Toda zapustil je nasvet, ki so mu ga dali starci in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so bili vzgojeni z njim, ki so stali pred njim.
9 And he said to them, What do you advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which your father laid upon us?
Rekel jim je: »Kakšen nasvet mi daste, da lahko vrnemo odgovor temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Nekoliko olajšaj jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil na nas?‹
10 And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you speak to the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shall you say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
Mladeniči, ki so bili vzgojeni z njim, so mu spregovorili, rekoč: »Tako boš odgovoril ljudstvu, ki ti je spregovorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga nekako olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor ledja mojega očeta.
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.
Kajti kakor je moj oče na vas položil težek jarem, bom jaz vašemu jarmu še dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
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.
Tako so Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo na tretji dan prišli k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj zaukazal, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni na tretji dan.«
13 And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Kralj jim je surovo odgovoril in kralj Rehabám je zapustil nasvet starcev
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.
ter jim odgovoril glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, toda jaz bom k temu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
15 And the king listened 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;
Tako kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti razlog je bil od Boga, da je Gospod lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je po roki Šilčana Ahíja govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
16 for the king did not listen to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
Ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni hotel prisluhniti, je ljudstvo kralju odgovorilo, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Nobene dediščine nimamo v Jesejevem sinu. Vsak mož k svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. In sedaj, David, glej k svoji lastni hiši.« Tako je ves Izrael odšel k svojim šotorom.
17 But the men of Israel, even those who lived in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
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.
Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Hadoráma, ki je bil nad davkom, Izraelovi otroci pa so ga kamnali s kamni, da je umrl. Toda kralj Rehabám je pohitel, da se spravi gor na svoj bojni voz, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
In Izrael se upira zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
