1 Kraljevima 11
1 Kralj je Salomon - uz kćer faraonovu - volio mnoge žene tuđinke: Moapke, Amonke, Edomke, Sidonke i Hetitkinje,
King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
2 od svih naroda za koje je Jahve rekao Izraelcima: “Nećete odlaziti k njima i oni neće dolaziti k vama; oni će zacijelo okrenuti vaša srca svojim bogovima.” Njima se priklonio Salomon svojom ljubavlju.
He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
3 Imao je sedam stotina kneževskih žena i tri stotine inoča. Njegove su žene zavodile njegovo srce.
Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
4 I kada je Salomon ostario, njegove su mu žene okrenule srce prema drugim bogovima, i srce njegovo nije više potpuno pripadalo Jahvi kao što je pripadalo srce njegova oca Davida.
By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
5 Salomon je išao za Aštartom, boginjom Sidonaca, i Milkomom, sramotom Amonaca.
Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
6 Činio je ono što ne bijaše pravo u očima Jahvinim i nije se sasvim pokoravao Jahvi kao što se pokoravao njegov otac David.
That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
7 Tako sagradi Salomon uzvišicu Kemošu, sramoti Moaba, na gori istočno od Jeruzalema, i Milkomu, sramoti Amonaca.
On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
8 To učini za sve svoje žene tuđinke, koje su prinosile kad i žrtve svojim bogovima.
He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
9 Jahve se razgnjevi na Salomona jer je okrenuo srce svoje od Jahve, Boga Izraelova, koji mu se bio dvaput javio
Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
10 i koji mu je baš tada zabranio štovati druge bogove, ali on nije održao te zapovijedi.
11 Tada Jahve reče Salomonu: “Kada je tako s tobom te ne držiš moga Saveza i naredaba koje sam ti dao, ja ću sigurno oduzeti od tebe kraljevstvo i dat ću ga jednom od tvojih slugu.
and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
12 Ali neću to učiniti za tvoga života, zbog oca tvojega Davida; uzet ću ga iz ruke tvoga sina.
But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
13 Ipak neću od njega uzeti svega kraljevstva: ostavit ću jedno pleme tvome sinu, zbog sluge mojega Davida, zbog Jeruzalema koji izabrah.”
But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
14 Tada diže Jahve protivnika Salomonu: Edomca Hadada, iz kraljevske kuće Edomaca.
Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
15 Jer kada je David tukao Edomce i kad je Joab, vojskovođa, otišao da pokopa ubijene i dao pogubiti sve muškarce u Edomu -
What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
16 Joab i sav Izrael ostadoše ondje šest mjeseci dok nisu istrijebili sve muškarce u Edomu -
17 Hadad je utekao u Egipat s Edomcima koji bijahu u službi njegova oca. Hadad je bio tada mladi dječak.
Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
18 Otišli su iz Midjana i stigli u Paran. Poveli su sa sobom ljude iz Parana i otišli u Egipat pred faraona, kralja Egipta, koji mu dade kuću, odredi mu hranu i dodijeli zemlje.
They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
19 Hadad je stekao veliku milost u faraona, koji mu dade sestru svoje žene, sestru velike kneginje Tafnese.
The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
20 Sestra Tafnesina rodi mu sina Genubata, koga Tafnesa odgoji u kraljevskoj palači, i Genubat je ostao u palači među faraonovom djecom.
Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
21 Kada je Hadad doznao u Egiptu da je David počinuo kod svojih otaca i da je vojskovođa Joab umro, reče faraonu: “Dopusti mi da odem u svoju zemlju!”
While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
22 Faraon mu reče: “Što ti nedostaje u mene te želiš poći u svoju zemlju?” A on mu odgovori: “Ništa, ali me pusti da odem!” [25b] To je bilo zlo što ga je učinio Hadad: mrzio je Izraela i vladao je Edomom.
But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
23 Bog je protiv Salomona podigao protivnika mu Rezona, sina Elijadova, koji je pobjegao od svoga gospodara Hadadezera, kralja sopskoga;
God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
24 Rezon je skupio ljude oko sebe i postao im četovođa kada ih David ubijaše. Rezon zauze Damask, ondje se nastani i zavlada Damaskom.
Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
25 [25a] On je bio protivnik Izraelov za života Salomonova.
All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
26 Jeroboam bijaše sin Efraćanina Nebata, iz Sareda, a majka mu bijaše udovica imenom Serva. On je bio u službi Salomonovoj i podigao je ruku protiv kralja.
Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 Evo razloga njegove pobune. Salomon je gradio Milo da zatrpa kosinu u gradu Davida, oca svoga.
This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
28 Taj Jeroboam bijaše valjan čovjek; Salomon opazi kako se mladi čovjek prihvaća posla i postavi ga nad svom rabotom kuće Josipove.
Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
29 Tada se dogodi te Jeroboam ode iz Jeruzalema, i na putu ga susrete prorok Ahija iz Šila, ogrnut novim plaštem; bijahu sami njih dvojica u polju.
One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
30 Ahija uze novi plašt koji je imao na sebi i razdrije ga na dvanaest komada.
which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
31 I reče Jeroboamu: “Uzmi sebi deset komada, jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo ću istrgnuti kraljevstvo iz ruke Salomonove i dat ću tebi deset plemena.
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
32 On će imati jedno pleme, zbog sluge mojega Davida i Jeruzalema, grada koji sam izabrao između svih plemena Izraelovih.
Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
33 To je zato što me ostavio i poklonio se Aštarti, boginji Sidonaca, Kemošu, bogu moapskom, i Milkomu, bogu Amonaca, i ne hodi više mojim putovima; ne čini što je pravo u mojim očima, niti izvršava moje zakone i naredbe kao što je činio njegov otac David.
I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
34 Ali mu neću iz ruke uzeti sve kraljevstvo, jer sam ga postavio knezom za sveg njegova života, zbog sluge svoga Davida, koga sam izabrao i koji je držao moje zapovijedi i moje zakone.
‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
35 Ali ću uzeti kraljevstvo iz ruke njegova sina i tebi ću ga dati, to jest deset plemena.
But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
36 A njegovu ću sinu ostaviti jedno pleme da moj sluga David ima uvijek svjetiljku preda mnom u Jeruzalemu, gradu koji sam izabrao sebi da u njemu stoluje Ime moje.
I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
37 Tebe ću uzeti da kraljuješ nad svim što budeš želio i da budeš kralj nad Izraelom.
I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
38 Ako budeš poslušao sve što ti zapovjedim i stupao budeš putovima mojim te činio što je pravedno u očima mojim držeći moje zakone i zapovijedi moje, kako je to činio moj sluga David, tada ću ja biti s tobom i sagradit ću ti trajan dom, kao što sam sagradio Davidu, i dat ću ti Izraela.
If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
39 Ponizit ću potomke Davidove; ali ne zauvijek.'”
Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
40 Salomon je zato tražio da ubije Jeroboama, ali on pobježe u Egipat k Šišaku i ostade u Egiptu do smrti Salomonove.
Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
41 Ostala povijest Salomonova, sve što je učinio i njegova mudrost, zar nije zapisana u knjizi Povijesti Salomonove?
[A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
42 A kraljevaše Salomon u Jeruzalemu nad svim Izraelom četrdeset godina.
He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
43 Onda počinu Salomon kod otaca svojih i bi sahranjen u Davidovu gradu, a njegov sin Roboam zakralji se namjesto njega.
Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
