1 Kings 12
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem. For in that place, all of Israel had gathered to appoint him as king.
И иде царь Ровоам в Сикиму, яко в Сикиму прииде весь Израиль воцарити его.
2 Yet truly, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, while he was still in Egypt as a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned from Egypt.
И бысть егда услыша Иеровоам сын Наватов, сущу ему еще во Египте, яко убегл бе от лица Соломона, и возвратися Иеровоам из Египта:
3 And they sent and called him. Therefore, Jeroboam went, with the entire multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
и послаша, и призваша его. И прииде Иеровоам и весь сонм Израилев, и рекоша людие к царю Ровоаму глаголюще:
4 “Your father imposed a very harsh yoke upon us. And so, you should now take away a little from the very harsh rule of your father and from his very grievous yoke, which he imposed upon us, and we will serve you.”
отец твой отягчи ярем наш, ты же ныне облегчи от работы отца твоего жестокия и от ярма его тяжкаго, егоже возложи на ны, и поработаем ти.
5 And he said to them, “Go away, until the third day, and then return to me.” And when the people had gone away,
И рече к ним: отидите (и пребудите) до третияго дне, и возвратитеся ко мне. И идоша.
6 king Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had assisted before his father Solomon while he was still living. And he said, “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people?”
И возвести Ровоам царь старейшинам, иже быша предстояще пред Соломоном отцем его, еще живу ему сущу, глаголя: како вы мыслите, да отвещаю людем сим слово?
7 They said to him, “If today you will obey and serve this people, and yield to their petition, and if you will speak lenient words to them, they will be your servants for all days.”
И реша ему, глаголюще: аще в днешний день будеши раб людем сим и поработаеши им, и речеши им словеса блага, и будут ти раби во вся дни.
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men, which they had given to him. And he consulted the young men who had been raised with him, and who were assisting him.
И пренебреже совет старейшин, яже совещаша ему, и советова со отроки воспитанными с ним предстоявшими пред лицем его,
9 And he said to them: “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people, who have said to me: ‘Make light the yoke that your father imposed on us?’”
и рече им: что вы совещаваете? И что отвещаю людем сим, иже реша ко мне, глаголюще: облегчи наш ярем, егоже возложи отец твой на ны?
10 And the young men who had been raised with him, said: “You shall speak in this way to this people, who have spoken to you, saying: ‘Your father weighed down our yoke. You should relieve us.’ You shall say this to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
И глаголаша к нему отроцы воспитаннии с ним и реша ему: сице да глаголеши людем сим, иже реша к тебе, глаголюще: отец твой отягчи ярем наш: ты же ныне облегчи от нас: сия речеши к ним: юность моя толстее чресл отца моего:
11 And now, my father placed a heavy yoke upon you, but I will add more upon your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.’”
и ныне отец мой наложи на вы ярем тяжек, аз же приложу к ярму вашему: отец мой наказа вы ранами, аз же накажу вы скорпионами.
12 Therefore, Jeroboam and all the people went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had spoken, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
И прииде весь Израиль к царю Ровоаму в день третий, якоже рече им царь, глаголя: возвратитеся ко мне в день третий.
13 And the king responded to the people harshly, leaving behind the counsel of the elders that they had given to him.
И отвеща царь к людем жестоко: и остави царь Ровоам совет старейшин, яже совещаша ему,
14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: “My father weighed down your yoke, but I will add more to your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.”
и рече к ним по совету отроков, глаголя: отец мой отягчи ярем ваш, аз же приложу к ярму вашему: отец мой наказа вы ранами, аз же накажу вы скорпионами.
15 And the king did not acquiesce to the people. For the Lord had turned him away, so that he might raise up his word, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
И не послуша царь людий, яко бе превращение от Господа, яко да утвердит глаголгол Свой, егоже глагола рукою Ахии Силонитянина о Иеровоаме сыне Наватове.
16 And so the people, seeing that the king had not been willing to listen to them, responded to him, saying: “What part do we have in David? Or what inheritance do we have in the son of Jesse? Go to your own tents, O Israel. Now David, see to your own house.” And Israel went away to their own tents.
И виде весь Израиль, яко не послуша царь гласа их, и отвещаша людие царю, глаголюще: кая нам часть в Давиде? И несть нам наследия в сыне Иессеове: бежи, Израилю, в кровы своя: ныне паси дом твой, Давиде. И отиде Израиль в кровы своя.
17 But over all the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned.
Над сынми же Израилевыми, иже живяху во градех Иудиных, воцарися Ровоам над ними.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute. And all of Israel stoned him, and he died. Therefore, king Rehoboam hurrying, climbed into the chariot, and fled to Jerusalem.
И посла царь Ровоам Адонирама, иже над данию, и поби его камением весь Израиль, и умре. Царь же Ровоам потщася взыти на колесницу убежати во Иерусалим.
19 And Israel drew away from the house of David, even to the present day.
И отложися Израиль от дому Давидова даже до днесь.
20 And it happened that, when all of Israel had heard that Jeroboam had returned, gathering an assembly, they sent and called him, and they appointed him as king over all of Israel. And no one followed the house of David, except the tribe of Judah alone.
И бысть егда услыша весь Израиль, яко возвратися Иеровоам от Египта, и послаша, и призваша его на собор, и воцариша его над Израилем: и не бе вслед дому Давидова, токмо хоругвь Иудина и Вениаминова.
21 Then Rehoboam went to Jerusalem, and he gathered together the entire house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand elect men of war, so that they might fight against the house of Israel, and might bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.
И Ровоам вниде во Иерусалим и собра весь сонм Иудин и хоругвь Вениаминю, сто и двадесять тысящ юношей, творящих брань, ратовати на дом Израилев, еже возвратити царство Ровоаму сыну Соломоню.
22 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:
И бысть слово Господне ко Самею человеку Божию, глаголя:
23 “Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah, and to Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:
рцы к Ровоаму сыну Соломоню царю Иудину и ко всему дому Иудину и Вениаминову и ко оставшымся людем, глаголя:
24 ‘Thus says the Lord: You shall not go up, and you shall not make war against your brothers, the sons of Israel. Let each man return to his own house. For this word came from me.’” And they listened to the word of the Lord, and they returned from the journey, as the Lord had instructed them.
тако глаголет Господь: не восходите, ниже ратуйте на братию вашу, на сыны Израилевы: но возвратитеся кийждо в домы своя, яко от Мене бысть глаголгол сей. И послушаша словесе Господня, и престаша ити по глаголголу Господню.
25 Then Jeroboam built up Shechem, on mount Ephraim, and he lived there. And departing from there, he built up Penuel.
И созда Иеровоам Сикиму в горе Ефремли, и вселися в ней, и изыде оттуду, и созда Фануила.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David,
И рече Иеровоам в сердцы своем: се, ныне возвратится царство в дом Давидов,
27 if this people ascend to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem. And the heart of this people will be converted to their lord Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and they will put me to death, and return to him.”
аще взыдут людие сии вознести жертву в храме Господни во Иерусалим, и обратится сердце людий ко Господу и господину своему, к Ровоаму царю Иудину, и убиют мя, и возвратятся к Ровоаму царю Иудину.
28 And devising a plan, he made two golden calves. And he said to them: “No longer choose to ascend to Jerusalem. Behold, these are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt!”
И усоветова царь, и сотвори две юницы златы, и рече к людем: довлеет вам восходити во Иерусалим: се, бози твои, Израилю, изведшии тя из земли Египетския.
29 And he stationed one in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
И постави едину в Вефили, а другую в Дане.
30 And this word became an occasion of sin. For the people went to adore the calf, even to Dan.
И бысть слово сие на согрешение, и идяху людие пред лицем юницы единыя даже до Дана, и оставиша храм Господень.
31 And he made shrines on the high places, and he made priests out of the lowest people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
И сотвори капища на высоких, и сотвори жерцов часть от людий, иже не беша от сынов Левииных.
32 And he appointed a solemn day in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, in imitation of the solemnity that was celebrated in Judah. And ascending to the altar, he acted similarly in Bethel, so that he immolated to the calves, which he had made. And in Bethel, he appointed priests of the high places, which he had made.
И сотвори Иеровоам праздник в осмый месяц в пятыйнадесять день месяца, по празднику, иже в земли бе Иудине, и взыде на олтарь, егоже сотвори в Вефили, жрети юницам, яже сотвори, и постави в Вефили жерцы на высоких, яже сотвори.
33 And he ascended to the altar, which he had raised up in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the day that he had decided in his own heart. And he made a solemnity to the sons of Israel, and he ascended to the altar, so that he might burn incense.
И взыде на олтарь, егоже сотвори в Вефили, в осмый месяц, в пятыйнадесять день в праздник, егоже состави по сердцу своему: и сотвори праздник сыном Израилевым, и взыде на олтарь еже пожрети.
