2 Chronicles 11
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered the men from the households of Judah and Benjamin— 180,000 chosen warriors—to go and fight against Israel to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
A kad doðe Rovoam u Jerusalim, sazva dom Judin i Venijaminov, sto i osamdeset tisuæa odabranijeh vojnika, da zavojšte na Izrailja da povrate carstvo Rovoamu.
2 But a message from the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God that said,
Ali doðe rijeè Gospodnja Semaji èovjeku Božijemu govoreæi:
3 “Tell Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and of all the Israelites living in Judah and Benjamin:
Kaži Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu caru Judinu i svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem od Jude i Venijamina, i reci:
4 ‘This is what the Lord says. Don't fight against your relatives. Every one of you, go home! For what has happened is down to me.’” So they obeyed what the Lord told them and did not fight against Jeroboam.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne idite i ne bijte se s braæom svojom, vratite se svak svojoj kuæi, jer sam ja naredio tako da bude. I oni poslušaše rijeè Gospodnju i vratiše se i ne idoše na Jerovoama.
5 Rehoboam stayed in Jerusalem, and he strengthened the defenses of the towns in Judah.
I Rovoam sjede u Jerusalimu, i sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj;
6 He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Sazida Vitlejem i Itam i Tekuju,
7 Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
I Vet-Sur i Sohot i Odolam,
8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
I Gat i Marisu i Zif,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
I Adoraim i Lahis i Aziku,
10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron. These are the fortified towns in Judah and in Benjamin.
I Saraju i Ejalon i Hevron, koji su u zemlji Judinoj i Venijaminovoj tvrdi gradovi.
11 He strengthened their fortresses and put commanders in charge of them, together with supplies of food, olive oil, and wine.
A kad utvrdi te gradove, namjesti u njima zapovjednike, i staje za žito i za ulje i za vino,
12 He stored shields and spears in all the towns and made them very strong. So he held Judah and Benjamin under his rule.
I u svakom gradu štitova i kopalja, i utvrdi ih jako. Tako njegov bijaše Juda i Venijamin.
13 However, the priests and Levites throughout Israel chose to side with Rehoboam.
I sveštenici i Leviti, koji bijahu po svemu Izrailju, sabraše se k njemu iz svijeh krajeva svojih.
14 The Levites even left their pasturelands and properties behind, and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons refused to allow them to serve as priests of the Lord.
Jer ostaviše Leviti podgraða svoja i dostojanja svoja, i otidoše u Judejsku i u Jerusalim, jer ih otjera Jerovoam i sinovi njegovi da ne vrše službe sveštenièke Gospodu.
15 Jeroboam chose his own priests for the high places and for the goat and calf idols he had made.
I postavi sebi sveštenike za visine i za ðavole i za teoce, koje naèini.
16 Those from every tribe of Israel who were committed to worshiping their God followed the Levites to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
A za njima iz svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh koji upraviše srce svoje da traže Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, doðoše u Jerusalim da prinesu žrtvu Gospodu Bogu otaca svojih.
17 So they supported the kingdom of Judah and for three years they were loyal to Rehoboam, son of Solomon, because they followed the way of David and Solomon.
I tako utvrdiše carstvo Judino, i ukrijepiše Rovoama sina Solomunova za tri godine, jer za te tri godine hoðahu putem Davidovijem i Solomunovijem.
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David's son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
A Rovoam se oženi Maeletom kæerju Jerimota sina Davidova i Avihailom kæerju Esijava sina Jesejeva,
19 She was the mother his sons Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
Koja mu rodi sinove: Jeusa i Samariju i Zama.
20 After her he married Maacah Absalom's daughter, and she was the mother of his sons Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
A poslije nje oženi se Mahom kæerju Avesalomovom, koja mu rodi Aviju i Ataja i Zivu i Selomita.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah Absalom's daughter more than all his other wives and concubines. He had a total of eighteen wives and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
A ljubljaše Rovoam Mahu kæer Avesalomovu veæma od svijeh žena svojih i inoèa svojih; jer imaše osamnaest žena i šezdeset inoèa, i rodi dvadeset i osam sinova i šezdeset kæeri.
22 Rehoboam made Abijah son of Maacah crown prince among his brothers, planning to make him king.
I Rovoam postavi Aviju sina Mašina poglavarom i knezom nad braæom njegovom, jer ga šæaše postaviti carem.
23 Rehoboam was also wise to place some of his sons throughout the land of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified towns. He gave them plenty of supplies and sought many wives for them. He worked to arrange many wives for them.
I mudro radeæi rasturi sve sinove svoje po svijem krajevima Judinijem i Venijaminovijem, po svijem tvrdijem gradovima, i dade im hrane izobila, i dovede im mnogo žena.
