Вторая книга Паралипоменон 12

1 И бысть егда устроися царство Ровоамово, и укрепися, остави заповеди Господни, и весь Израиль с ним.

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 И бысть в лето пятое царства Ровоамля взыде Сусаким царь Египетский на Иерусалим, зане согрешиша пред Господем,

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)

3 с тысящию и двема сты колесниц и шестьдесят тысящ конник, и не бе числа народу пришедшему с ним от Египта, Ливиане, Троглодитяне и Ефиопляне:

With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.

4 и взяша грады крепкия, иже бяху во Иуде, и приидоша даже до Иерусалима.

And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Самеа же пророк вниде к Ровоаму и к началником Иудиным, иже собрани бяху во Иерусалим от лица Сусакимова, и рече к ним: сия рече Господь: вы остависте Мя, и Аз оставлю вас в руку Сусакима.

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

6 И посрамишася началницы Израилевы и царь и рекоша: праведен Господь.

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

7 Егда же виде Господь, яко смиришася, и бысть слово Господне к Самею, глаголя: смиришася, не разорю их, и дам им вмале спасение, и не уканет ярость Моя на Иерусалим,

And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

8 обаче будут в рабы, да познают работу Мою и работу царства земли.

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

9 И взыде Сусаким царь Египетский во Иерусалим, и взя сокровища, яже в дому Господни, и сокровища, яже в дому цареве, вся взя: и взя щиты златыя, ихже сотвори Соломон.

So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,

10 И сотвори царь Ровоам щиты медяны вместо их. И постави на ним Сусаким царь Египетский началников предходящих стрегущих врата царева:

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

11 и бысть внегда входити царю в дом Господень, вхождаху стрегущии и предходящии, и обращающеся восхождаху предходящии ко оружехранителнице своей.

And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

12 И егда смирися той, отвратися от него ярость Господня, а не в разорение в конец: ибо и во Иуде бяху словеса блага.

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

13 И укрепися царь Ровоам во Иерусалиме и царствова: четыредесяти же и единаго лета бысть Ровоам, егда царствовати нача, и седмьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме, во граде, егоже избра Господь, да именуется имя Его ту от всех колен Израилевых. Имя же матери его Ноома Амманитыня.

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

14 И сотвори лукавое, яко не исправи сердца своего, да взыщет Господа.

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

15 Словеса же Ровоамова первая и последняя не се ли, суть писана в словесех Самеа пророка и Адда провидящаго, и деяния его? И воеваше Ровоам и Иеровоам во вся дни.

Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16 И умре Ровоам и погребен бысть со отцы своими во граде Давидове. И воцарися Авиа сын его вместо его.

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
