2 Књига дневника 12

1 А кад Ровоам утврди царство и кад осили, остави закон Господњи и сав Израиљ с њим.

It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

2 А пете године царовања Ровоамовог дође Сисак цар мисирски на Јерусалим, јер згрешише Господу,

It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,

3 С хиљаду и две стотине кола и са шездесет хиљада коњаника, и не беше броја народу који дође с њим из Мисира, Лувејима, Сухејима и Хусејима.

with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

4 И узе тврде градове Јудине и дође до Јерусалима.

He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Тада дође Семаја пророк к Ровоаму и кнезовима Јудиним, који се беху скупили у Јерусалим од Сисака, и рече им: Овако вели Господ: Ви остависте мене, зато и ја остављам вас у руке Сисаку.

And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"

6 Тада се понизише кнезови Израиљеви и цар и рекоше: Праведан је Господ.

Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."

7 А кад их виде Господ где се понизише, дође реч Господња Семаји говорећи: Понизише се, нећу их потрти, него ћу им сада дати избављење, и неће се излити јарост моја на Јерусалим преко Сисака.

When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Него ће му бити слуге да познаду шта је мени служити, шта ли служити царствима земаљским.

Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

9 И тако дође Сисак, цар мисирски, у Јерусалим и узе благо дома Господњег и благо дома царевог, све то узе; узе и штитове златне, које беше начинио Соломун;

So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 И на њихово место начини цар Ровоам штитове од бронзе, и предаде их старешинама над стражарима који чувају врата дома царевог.

King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

11 И кад иђаше цар у дом Господњи долажаху стражари и ношаху их, а после их опет остављаху у ризницу стражарску.

It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

12 Што се дакле понизи, одврати се од њега гнев Господњи, и не затре га сасвим; јер још у Јуди беше добра.

When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.

13 И утврди се цар Ровоам у Јерусалиму, и царова; јер беше Ровоаму четрдесет и једна година кад се зацари, и седамдесет година царова у Јерусалиму граду, који изабра Господ између свих племена Израиљевих да онде намести име своје. А матери његовој беше име Нама, Амонка.

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

14 Али он чињаше зло, јер не управи срца свог да тражи Господа.

He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.

15 Али дела Ровоамова прва и последња нису ли записана у књизи пророка Семаје и видеоца Ида, где се казују кољена, а и ратови који беху једнако међу Ровоамом и Јеровоамом?

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 И почину Ровоам код отаца својих, и би погребен у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Авија, син његов.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
