1 Královská 12
1 Tedy přibral se Roboám do Sichem; nebo tam sešel se byl všecken Izrael, aby ho ustanovili za krále.
All [HYP] the people of [northern] Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
2 Stalo se pak, když uslyšel Jeroboám syn Nebatův, jsa ještě v Egyptě, kamž byl utekl před Šalomounem králem, (bydlel zajisté Jeroboám v Egyptě, )
When Jeroboam, who was still in Egypt, heard about that, he returned from Egypt [to Israel].
3 Že poslali a povolali ho; protož přišed Jeroboám i všecko shromáždění Izraelské, mluvili k Roboámovi, řkouce:
The [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and they went together [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to him,
4 Otec tvůj ztížil jho naše; protož nyní polehč služby otce svého tvrdé a břemena jeho těžkého, kteréž vzložil na nás, a budeme tobě sloužiti.
“Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard [MET] for him. If you (lighten these loads/do not force us to work that hard), and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
5 Kterýž řekl jim: Odejděte, a třetího dne navraťte se ke mně. I odšel lid.
He replied, “Go away, and come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders and Jeroboam left.
6 Tedy radil se král Roboám s starci, kteříž stávali před Šalomounem otcem jeho ještě za života jeho, řka: Kterak vy radíte, jakou odpověd mám dáti lidu tomuto?
Then King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still living. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer those men?”
7 I odpověděli jemu, řkouce: Jestliže dnes povolný budeš lidu tomuto a ochotně se jim ukážeš, a odpověd dávaje, mluviti budeš přívětivě, budouť služebníci tvoji po všecky dny.
They replied, “If you want to serve your people well, speak kindly to those men when you reply to them. If you do that, your people will always serve you faithfully.”
8 Ale on opustil radu starců, kterouž dali jemu, a radil se s mládenci, kteříž s ním zrostli a stávali před ním.
But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now (his advisors/the ones who told him what would be good to do).
9 A řekl k nim: Co vy radíte, jakou bychom dali odpověd lidu tomuto, kteříž mluvili ke mně, řkouce: Polehč břemene, kteréž vzložil otec tvůj na nás?
He said to them, “What should I say to the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
10 I odpověděli jemu mládenci, kteříž zrostli s ním, řkouce: Takto odpovíš lidu tomu, kteříž mluvili k tobě a řekli: Otec tvůj ztížil jho naše, ty pak polehč nám. Takto díš jim: Nejmenší prst můj tlustší jest nežli bedra otce mého.
They replied, “This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11 Nyní tedy otec můj těžké břímě vložil na vás, já pak přidám břemene vašeho; otec můj trestal vás bičíky, ale já trestati vás budu biči uzlovatými.
What I mean is that my father required you [to work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but [it will be as though] I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
12 Přišel tedy Jeroboám i všecken lid k Roboámovi dne třetího, jakž byl rozkázal král, řka: Navraťte se ke mně dne třetího.
So three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to Rehoboam again, as he had told them to do.
13 I odpověděl král lidu tvrdě, opustiv radu starců, kterouž dali jemu.
The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
14 A mluvil k nim vedlé rady mládenců, řka: Otec můj ztížil jho vaše, já pak přidám břemene vašeho; otec můj trestal vás bičíky, ale já trestati vás budu biči uzlovatými.
[He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
15 I neuposlechl král lidu. Nebo byla příčina od Hospodina, aby se naplnila řeč jeho, kterouž mluvil Hospodin skrze Achiáše Silonského k Jeroboámovi synu Nebatovu.
So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh wanted would occur, what he had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam [becoming king of the ten tribes].
16 Protož vida všecken Izrael, že by je král oslyšel, odpověděl lid králi v tato slova: Jakýž máme díl v Davidovi? Ani dědictví nemáme v synu Izai. K stanům svým, ó Izraeli! Nyní opatř dům svůj, Davide. Odšel tedy Izrael k stanům svým,
When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not [RHQ] want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David [MTY], he can rule his own kingdom [MTY]!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
17 Tak že nad syny Izraelskými toliko, kteříž bydlili v městech Judských, kraloval Roboám.
And [after that, ] the [only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribe of] Judah.
18 I poslal král Roboám Adurama, kterýž byl nad platy, a uházel ho všecken Izrael kamením až do smrti, čímž král Roboám přinucen byl, aby vsedna na vůz, utekl do Jeruzaléma.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
19 A tak odstoupili synové Izraelští od domu Davidova až do dnešního dne.
Ever since that time, the people of [the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants [MTY] of [King] David.
20 I stalo se, když uslyšeli všickni Izraelští, že by se navrátil Jeroboám, poslavše, povolali ho do shromáždění, a ustanovili ho králem nade vším Izraelem. Nezůstávalo při domu Davidovu než samo pokolení Judovo.
When the Israeli people heard that Jeroboam had returned [from Egypt], they invited him to come to a meeting, and there they appointed him to be the king of Israel. Only the people of the tribes of Judah [and Benjamin] continued to be loyal to [the kings descended from King] [MTY] David.
21 Když pak přijel Roboám do Jeruzaléma, shromáždil všecken dům Judský a pokolení Beniamin, totiž sto a osmdesáte tisíců výborných bojovníků, aby bojovali proti domu Izraelskému, a aby zase přivedeno bylo království k Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes [MTY] of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against the northern tribes of [MTY] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could [rule all the tribes of] his kingdom again.
22 Tedy stala se řeč Boží k Semaiášovi muži Božímu, řkoucí:
But God spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
23 Pověz Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, králi Judskému a všemu domu Judovu i Beniaminovu, a ostatku lidu těmito slovy:
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and the people from the northern tribe who live in Judah:
24 Takto praví Hospodin: Netáhněte a nebojujte proti bratřím svým synům Izraelským. Navraťte se jeden každý do domu svého, nebo ode mne stala se věc tato. I uposlechli rozkazu Hospodinova a navrátili se, aby odešli vedlé řeči Hospodinovy.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against your own relatives, the people of Israel. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all paid attention to what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they went home.
25 Potom vystavěl Jeroboám Sichem na hoře Efraim, a bydlil v něm, a vyšed odtud, vystavěl Fanuel.
Then Jeroboam’s workers built [walls around] Shechem [city] in the hilly area [where the descendants] of Ephraim [lived], and he ruled from there for a while. He and his workers then left there and went to Peniel [town], and they built walls around that town.
26 Řekl pak Jeroboám v srdci svém: Tudíž by se navrátilo království toto k domu Davidovu,
Then Jeroboam said to himself, “If my people [continue to] go to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices to Yahweh at the temple there, soon they will again become loyal to Rehoboam, the king of Judah [DOU], and they will kill me.”
27 Když by chodíval lid tento k obětování obětí v domě Hospodinově do Jeruzaléma; i obrátilo by se srdce lidu tohoto ku pánu jeho Roboámovi králi Judskému, a tak zabijíce mne, navrátili by se k Roboámovi králi Judskému.
28 Protož poradiv se král, udělal dvé telat zlatých a řekl lidu: Dosti jste již chodili do Jeruzaléma. Aj, teď bohové tvoji, ó Izraeli, kteříž tě vyvedli z země Egyptské.
So he consulted [his advisors, and then he did what they suggested]. He [told his workers to] make gold [statues of] two calves. Then he said to the people, “You have been going to Jerusalem [to worship] for a long time. It is a big trouble for you to continue going there. You people of Israel, look! These statues are the gods that brought our [ancestors] up from Egypt! [So you can worship these, here!]”
29 I postavil jedno v Bethel, a druhé postavil v Dan.
He [told his workers to] place one of the statues in Bethel [city in the south] and one in Dan [city in the north].
30 Kterážto věc byla příčinou k hřešení, nebo chodíval lid k jednomu z těch až do Dan.
So [what Jeroboam did caused] the people [to] sin. Some of them went and worshiped the calf at Bethel, and others went and worshiped the other calf at Dan.
31 Vzdělal zajisté dům výsostí, a ustanovil kněží z lidu obecného, kteříž nebyli z synů Léví.
[Moses had declared that only men from the tribe of Levi would be priests, but] Jeroboam also told his workers to build shrines on hilltops, and then he appointed men who were not from the tribe of Levi to be priests.
32 Ustanovil také Jeroboám svátek měsíce osmého, v patnáctý den téhož měsíce, ku podobenství svátku, kterýž byl v Judstvu, a obětoval na oltáři. Takž učinil i v Bethel, obětuje telatům, kteréž byl udělal; také i v Bethel ustanovil kněží výsostí, kteréž byl zdělal.
He also appointed Adonijah and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram. They had a celebration at the end of October, like the celebration [of Living in Temporary Shelters] that occurred in Judah [each year]. On the altar [that they built] in Bethel, he offered sacrifices to the gold statues of calves that they had made, and he stationed the priests there at the shrines that his workers had built.
33 A obětoval na oltáři, kterýž byl udělal v Bethel, v patnáctý den měsíce osmého, toho měsíce, kterýž byl sobě smyslil v srdci svém, a slavil svátek s syny Izraelskými, a přistoupil k oltáři, aby kadil.
Jeroboam went up to that altar on that day in October which he himself had chosen. There on that altar he burned incense [to be a sacrifice]. And he declared that the people should celebrate that festival [on that same day every year].
