2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je iz Judove in Benjaminove hiše zbral sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se borijo zoper Izrael, da bi kraljestvo lahko ponovno privedli k Rehabámu.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
Toda beseda od Gospoda je prišla Božjemu možu Šemajáju, rekoč:
3 'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying:
»Govori Rehabámu, Salomonovemu sinu, Judovemu kralju in vsemu Izraelu v Judu in Benjaminu, rekoč:
4 Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return every man to his house, for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper svoje brate. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je storjena od mene.‹« Ubogali so Gospodove besede in se vrnili pred [tem, da bi] šli zoper Jerobeáma.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Rehabám je prebival v Jeruzalemu in gradil mesta za obrambo v Judu.
6 He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Zgradil je celo Bethlehem, Etám, Tekóo,
7 and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Bet Cur, Sohóm, Adulám,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gat, Marešo, Zif,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adorájim, Lahíš, Azéko,
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Coro, Ajalón in Hebrón, ki so v Judu in v Benjaminu utrjena mesta.
11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.
Utrdil je oporišča in vanje postavil poveljnike in zaloge živeža, olja in vina.
12 And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him.
V vsako posamezno mesto je postavil ščite in sulice ter jih naredil silno močne, [ker je] imel Juda in Benjamin na svoji strani.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.
Duhovniki in Lévijevci, ki so bili po vsem Izraelu, so zahajali k njemu iz vseh svojih krajev.
14 For the Levites left their open land and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office unto the LORD;
Kajti Lévijevci so zapustili svoja predmestja in svojo lastnino ter prišli k Judu in Jeruzalemu, kajti Jerobeám in njegovi sinovi so jih zavrgli pred izvrševanjem duhovniške službe Gospodu.
15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.
Odredil si je duhovnike za visoke kraje, za hudiče in za teleti, ki ju je naredil.
16 And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Za njimi so iz vseh Izraelovih rodov [prišli] tisti, ki so svoja srca naravnali, da iščejo Gospoda Boga. Iz Izraela so prišli v Jeruzalem, da darujejo Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Tako so tri leta krepili Judovo kraljestvo in Salomonovega sina Rehabáma naredili močnega, kajti tri leta so hodili po Davidovi in Salomonovi poti.
18 And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehabám si je za ženo vzel Mahaláto, hčer Davidovega sina Jerimóta in Abihájilo, hčer Jesejevega sina Eliába,
19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
ki sta mu rodila otroke: Jeúša, Šemarjája in Zaháma.
20 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Za njo je vzel Absalomovo hčer Maáho, ki mu je rodila Abíja, Atája, Zizá in Šelomíta.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.
Rehabám je ljubil Absalomovo hčer Maáho bolj, kot vse svoje žene in svoje priležnice, (kajti vzel je osemnajst žena in šestdeset priležnic ter zaplodil osemindvajset sinov in šestdeset hčerá.)
22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king.
Rehabám je postavil Maáhinega sina Abíja, da bo vladar med svojimi brati, kajti mislil je, da ga postavi za kralja.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.
Modro je ravnal in vse svoje otroke razpršil po vseh Judovih in Benjaminovih deželah, do vsakega utrjenega mesta in dal jim je živeža v obilju. In želel je mnogo žená.
