2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come, 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 son of Nebat, who was in Egypt-whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king—heard of it, then returned Jeroboam 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, so Jeroboam and all Israel came, —and spake unto Rehoboam, saying:
jer bijahu poslali po nj i dozvali ga. Kad dođoše Jeroboam i sav zbor Izraelov, rekoše Roboamu:
4 Thy father, made our yoke oppressive, —now, therefore, lighten thou somewhat the oppressive servitude of thy father and 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 unto them, Yet three days, and then return unto me, —and the people departed.
On im odgovori: “Za tri dana dođite opet k meni.” I narod ode.
6 Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had been standing before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, counsel to return answer unto 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 spake unto him saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak unto them kind words, then will they be thy servants, all the days.
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 declined the counsel of the old men, which they gave him, —and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing 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 unto them, What do, ye, counsel that we should return as answer, unto this people, —who have spoken unto me saying, Lighten thou somewhat the yoke, which thy father put upon us?
Upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovomu narodu koji mi reče: 'Olakšaj jaram što nam ga nametnu tvoj otac!'”
10 Then spake with him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou speak unto the people who have spoken unto thee saying, Thy father, made our yoke heavy, Thou, therefore, lighten somewhat our yoke, —Thus, shalt thou say unto them, My little finger, is 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 Now, therefore, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, but, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, chastised you with whips, but, I, 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 So Jeroboam and all the people came unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king spake, saying, Return unto 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 them harshly, —and King Rehoboam declined the counsel of the old men;
Kralj im oštro odgovori; odbacivši savjet starijih,
14 and spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto, —My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, 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 So the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Kralj, dakle, ne htjede poslušati naroda, jer tako upriliči Bog da se ispuni riječ što je preko Šilonjanina Ahije kaza Nabatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
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, or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their homes.
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, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Roboam zavlada samo nad Izraelovim sinovima koji su živjeli po judejskim gradovima.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the tribute, and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So, King Rehoboam, 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 Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David—unto this day.
Tako se Izrael odijelio od doma Davidova sve do danas.
