وَلَمَّا تَثَبَّتَتْ مَمْلَكَةُ رَحُبْعَامَ وَتَشَدَّدَتْ، تَرَكَ شَرِيعَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ. ١ 1
It came about, when Rehoboam's reign was established and he was strong, that he abandoned the law of Yahweh—and all Israel with him.
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ لِلْمَلِكِ رَحُبْعَامَ صَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٢ 2
It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because the people had been unfaithful to Yahweh.
بِأَلْفٍ وَمِئَتَيْ مَرْكَبَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَدَدٌ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ: لُوبِيِّينَ وَسُكِّيِّينَ وَكُوشِيِّينَ. ٣ 3
He came with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. Soldiers without number came with him from Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
وَأَخَذَ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْحَصِينَةَ ٱلَّتِي لِيَهُوذَا وَأَتَى إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٤ 4
He captured the fortified cities that belonged to Judah and came to Jerusalem.
فَجَاءَ شَمْعِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ وَجْهِ شِيشَقَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: أَنْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمُونِي وَأَنَا أَيْضًا تَرَكْتُكُمْ لِيَدِ شِيشَقَ». ٥ 5
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “This is what Yahweh says: You have forsaken me, so I have also given you over into Shishak's hand.”
فَتَذَلَّلَ رُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَالُوا: «بَارٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ». ٦ 6
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
فَلَمَّا رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّهُمْ تَذَلَّلُوا، كَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى شَمْعِيَا قَائِلًا: «قَدْ تَذَلَّلُوا فَلَا أُهْلِكُهُمْ بَلْ أُعْطِيهِمْ قَلِيلًا مِنَ ٱلنَّجَاةِ، وَلَا يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِيَدِ شِيشَقَ، ٧ 7
When Yahweh saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not ruin them; I will rescue them to some extent, and my anger will not pour out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak's hand.
لَكِنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لَهُ عَبِيدًا وَيَعْلَمُونَ خِدْمَتِي وَخِدْمَةَ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي». ٨ 8
Nevertheless, they will be his servants, so that they may understand what it is to serve me and to serve the rulers of the other countries.”
فَصَعِدَ شِيشَقُ مَلِكُ مِصْرَ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَخَذَ خَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَخَزَائِنَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، أَخَذَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَتْرَاسَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ. ٩ 9
So Shishak, king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
فَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ عِوَضًا عَنْهَا أَتْرَاسَ نُحَاسٍ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَى أَيْدِي رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ ٱلْحَافِظِينَ بَابَ بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٠ 10
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to the king's house.
وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَأْتِي ٱلسُّعَاةُ وَيَحْمِلُونَهَا، ثُمَّ يُرْجِعُونَهَا إِلَى غُرْفَةِ ٱلسُّعَاةِ. ١١ 11
It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.
وَلَمَّا تَذَلَّلَ ٱرْتَدَّ عَنْهُ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَمْ يُهْلِكْهُ تَمَامًا. وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي يَهُوذَا أُمُورٌ حَسَنَةٌ. ١٢ 12
When Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh's anger turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; besides, there was still some good to be found in Judah.
فَتَشَدَّدَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلَكَ، لِأَنَّ رَحُبْعَامَ كَانَ ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَارَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَضَعَ ٱسْمَهُ فِيهَا دُونَ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ نَعْمَةُ ٱلْعَمُّونِيَّةُ. ١٣ 13
So King Rehoboam made his kingship strong in Jerusalem, and thus he reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes of Israel so that he might put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُهَيِّئْ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٤ 14
He did what was evil, because he did not fix his heart to seek Yahweh.
وَأُمُورُ رَحُبْعَامَ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ شَمْعِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَعِدُّو ٱلرَّائِي عَنِ ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ؟ وَكَانَتْ حُرُوبٌ بَيْنَ رَحُبْعَامَ وَيَرُبْعَامَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. ١٥ 15
As for the other matters concerning Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the writings of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, which also have records of genealogies and the constant wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam?
ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدُفِنَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ أَبِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ١٦ 16
Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David; Abijah his son became king in his place.
