< 2 Kronická 12 >

1 I stalo se, když utvrdil království Roboám a zmocnil je, opustil zákon Hospodinův, i všecken Izrael s ním.
And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
2 Stalo se, pravím, léta pátého království Roboámova, že vytáhl Sesák král Egyptský proti Jeruzalému, (nebo byli zhřešili proti Hospodinu),
Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
3 S tisícem a dvěma sty vozů, a s šedesáti tisíci jízdných, a nebylo počtu lidu, kterýž přitáhl s ním z Egypta, Lubimských, Sukkimských a Chussimských.
with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.
4 A pobral města hrazená, kteráž byla v Judstvu, a přitáhl až k Jeruzalému.
And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
5 Tedy Semaiáš prorok přišel k Roboámovi a k knížatům Judským, kteříž se byli sebrali do Jeruzaléma, bojíce se Sesáka, a řekl jim: Toto praví Hospodin: Vy jste mne opustili, i já také opouštím vás v rukou Sesákových.
Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
6 I ponížili se knížata Izraelská i král, a řekli: Spravedlivýť jest Hospodin.
And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
7 A když viděl Hospodin, že se ponížili, stalo se slovo Hospodinovo k Semaiášovi, řkoucí: Ponížiliť jsou se, neshladím jich, ale dám jim tudíž vysvobození, aniž se vyleje prchlivost má na Jeruzalém skrze Sesáka.
And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 A však sloužiti jemu budou, aby zkusili, co jest to mně sloužiti, a sloužiti králům zemským.
Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
9 A tak vstoupiv Sesák král Egytský do Jeruzaléma, pobral poklady domu Hospodinova, i poklady domu královského, všecko to pobral. Vzal i pavézy zlaté, kterýchž byl nadělal Šalomoun.
And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.
10 I nadělal král Roboám místo nich pavéz měděných, a poručil je úředníkům nad drabanty, kteříž ostříhali brány domu královského.
In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
11 A když král chodíval do domu Hospodinova, přicházívali drabanti a nosili je; potom též zase přinášeli je do pokoje drabantů.
And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
12 Když se pak ponížil, odvrátila se od něho prchlivost Hospodinova, a neshladil ho do cela, tak jakož se k Judovi v dobrých věcech ohlašoval.
Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
13 Tedy zmocnil se král Roboám v Jeruzalémě a kraloval; nebo ve čtyřidcíti a v jednom létě byl Roboám, když počal kralovati, a sedmnácte let kraloval v Jeruzalémě, městě, kteréž vyvolil Hospodin ze všech pokolení Izraelských, aby tam přebývalo jméno jeho. Jméno matky jeho bylo Naama Ammonitská.
Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
14 Kterýž činil zlé věci; nebo neustavil srdce svého, aby hledal Hospodina.
But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
15 Věci pak Roboámovy, první i poslední, zdaž zapsány nejsou v knihách Semaiáše proroka, a Iddo proroka, kdež se vyčítá pořádek rodů, ano i války mezi Roboámem a Jeroboámem, po všecky dny?
Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
16 I usnul Roboám s otci svými, a pochován jest v městě Davidově, a kraloval Abiáš syn jeho místo něho.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
