2 Kronická 11
1 Když pak přijel Roboám do Jeruzaléma, shromáždil dům Judův a Beniaminův, sto a osmdesáte tisíc výborných bojovníků, aby bojovali proti Izraelovi, a aby zase obráceno bylo království k Roboámovi.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
2 Tedy stala se řeč Hospodinova k Semaiášovi, muži Božímu, řkoucí:
But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
3 Pověz Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, králi Judskému, a všemu lidu Izraelskému, kterýž jest v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově, řka:
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:
4 Takto praví Hospodin: Netáhněte a nebojujte proti bratřím svým, navraťte se jeden každý do domu svého; nebo ode mne stala se věc tato. I uposlechli rozkazu Hospodinova, a navrátili se, aby netáhli proti Jeroboámovi.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. 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 heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
5 I bydlil Roboám v Jeruzalémě, a vzdělal města hrazená v Judstvu.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
6 A vzdělal Betlém, Etam. a Tekoe,
In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Betsur, Socho a Adulam,
Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gát, Maresa a Zif,
Gath, Mareshah,
9 Adoraim, Lachis a Azeka,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Zaraha, Aialon a Hebron, kteráž byla v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově města hrazená.
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
11 A když upevnil města hrazená, osadil v nich knížata, a zdělal špižírny k potravám, k oleji a vínu.
He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
12 A v jednom každém městě složil štíty a kopí, a opatřil ta města velmi dobře, a tak kraloval nad Judou a Beniaminem.
He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
13 Kněží také a Levítové, kteříž byli ve všem Izraeli, postavili se k němu ze všech končin svých.
The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
14 Opustili byli zajisté Levítové předměstí svá i vládařství svá, a odebrali se do Judstva a do Jeruzaléma, (proto, že je zavrhl Jeroboám a synové jeho, aby v úřadu kněžském nesloužili Hospodinu.
The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
15 A nařídil sobě kněží k sloužení po výsostech ďáblům a telatům, kterýchž byl nadělal).
Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
16 A za nimi ze všech pokolení Izraelských ti, kteříž oddali srdce své k hledání Hospodina Boha Izraelského, přišli do Jeruzaléma, aby obětovali Hospodinu Bohu otců svých.
And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
17 A tak utvrdili království Judské, a zsilili Roboáma syna Šalomounova za tři léta, a po ta tři léta chodili po cestě Davidově a Šalomounově.
They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
18 Potom pojal sobě Roboám ženu, Mahalat, dceru Jerimota syna Davidova, a Abichail, dceru Eliaba syna Izai.
Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
19 Kteráž mu zplodila syny: Jeusa a Semariáše a Zahama.
Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 A po té pojal Maachu dceru Absolonovu, kteráž mu porodila Abiáše, Attaie, Zizu a Selomita.
Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Ale miloval Roboám Maachu dceru Absolonovu, nade všecky ženy i ženiny své; nebo byl pojal žen osmnáct, a ženin šedesát, a zplodil dvadceti a osm synů a šedesáte dcer.
Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
22 Ustanovil pak Roboám Abiáše syna Maachy za kníže a vývodu mezi bratřími jeho; nebo myslil ho ustanoviti králem.
Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next king.
23 A opatrnosti užívaje, rozsadil všecky jiné syny své po všech krajích Judových a Beniaminových, ve všech městech ohrazených, i dal jim potravy hojně, a nabral jim mnoho žen.
He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
