2 Chronicles 10
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Tada otide Rovoam u Sihem, jer se ondje skupi sav Izrailj da ga zacare.
2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
A kad èu Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji bijaše u Misiru pobjegav onamo od cara Solomuna, vrati se Jerovoam iz Misira.
3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Jer poslaše, te ga dozvaše; i doðe Jerovoam i sav Izrailj i rekoše Rovoamu govoreæi:
4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
Tvoj je otac metnuo na nas težak jaram; nego ti sada olakšaj ljutu službu oca svojega i teški jaram koji je metnuo na nas, pa æemo ti služiti.
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
A on im reèe: do tri dana doðite opet k meni. I narod otide.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
Tada car Rovoam uèini vijeæe sa starcima koji stajaše pred Solomunom ocem njegovijem dok bijaše živ, i reèe: kako svjetujete da odgovorim narodu?
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
A oni mu odgovoriše govoreæi: ako se udobriš narodu i ugodiš im i odgovoriš im lijepim rijeèima, oni æe ti biti sluge svagda.
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Ali on ostavi svjet, što ga svjetovaše starci, i uèini vijeæe s mladiæima koji odrastoše s njim i koji stajahu pred njim;
9 He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
I reèe im: šta vi svjetujete da odgovorimo narodu koji mi rekoše govoreæi: olakšaj jaram koji je metnuo na nas tvoj otac.
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
Tada mu odgovoriše mladiæi koji odrastoše s njim, i rekoše: ovako kaži narodu što ti reèe: otac je tvoj metnuo na nas težak jaram, nego nam ti olakšaj; ovako im reci: moj mali prst deblji je od bedara oca mojega.
11 Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
Otac je moj metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na vaš jaram; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu vas šibati bodljivijem bièevima.
12 After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
A treæi dan doðe Jerovoam i sav narod k Rovoamu kako im bješe kazao car rekav: doðite opet k meni do tri dana.
13 And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
I car im odgovori oštro, jer ostavi car Rovoam svjet staraèki,
14 and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
I odgovori im kako ga svjetovaše mladiæi, govoreæi: moj je otac metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na nj; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu bodljivijem bièevima.
15 So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
I car se ogluši naroda, jer Bog bješe tako uredio da bi potvrdio Gospod rijeè svoju što je rekao preko Ahije Silomljanina Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu.
16 When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,
A kad vidje sav Izrailj da ih se car ogluši, odgovori narod caru govoreæi: kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? nemamo našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem. Svak u svoj šator, Izrailju! A ti, Davide, sad gledaj svoju kuæu. Tako otide sav Izrailj u šatore svoje.
17 but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
Samo nad sinovima Izrailjevijem koji življahu po gradovima Judinijem zacari se Rovoam.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
I car Rovoam posla Adorama koji bijaše nad dankom, ali ga sinovi Izrailjevi zasuše kamenjem, te pogibe. Tada car Rovoam brže sjede na kola, te pobježe u Jerusalim.
19 So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
Tako otpade Izrailj od doma Davidova do današnjega dana.
