2 Chronicles 12
1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
Kad je Roboam utvrdio kraljevstvo i ojačao, napustio je Jahvin zakon i on i sav Izrael s njim.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
Ali pete godine Roboamova kraljevanja navali egipatski kralj Šišak na Jeruzalem, koji se bijaše iznevjerio Jahvi.
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.
Došao je sa tisuću i dvjesta bojnih kola i sa šezdeset tisuća konjanika, a narodu koji je došao s njim iz Egipta - Libijcima, Sukijcima i Etiopljanima - nije bilo broja.
4 And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Osvojivši tvrde judejske gradove, dopro je do Jeruzalema.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
Tada dođe prorok Šemaja k Roboamu i judejskim knezovima, koji se bijahu skupili u Jeruzalemu bježeći od Šišaka, i reče im: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Vi ste ostavili mene, pa i ja ostavljam vas u ruke Šišaku.'”
6 And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.
Tada se poniziše izraelski knezovi i kralj i rekoše: “Pravedan je Jahve!”
7 And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Kad ih Jahve vidje gdje se poniziše, dođe njegova riječ Šemaji: “Ponizili su se; neću ih uništiti, nego ću im uskoro dati spasenje te se moja srdžba neće oboriti na Jeruzalem preko Šišaka.
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
Bit će mu sluge, da vide što znači služiti meni, a što zemaljskim kraljevstvima.”
9 And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
Tako egipatski kralj Šišak navali na Jeruzalem, opljačka blago iz Doma Jahvina i riznicu kraljeva dvora; sve je uzeo; uze i zlatne štitove što ih bijaše napravio Salomon.
10 And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.
Namjesto njih kralj Roboam napravi tučane štitove i povjeri ih zapovjednicima straže koja je čuvala vrata kraljevskoga dvora.
11 And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.
Kad je god kralj išao u Dom Jahvin, stražari su ih uzimali, a poslije ih vraćali u stražaru.
12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.
Kad se, dakle, ponizio, odvratio se od njega Jahvin gnjev te ga nije sasvim uništio, jer i u Judeji bijaše dobra.
13 And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
Potom se kralj Roboam utvrdi u Jeruzalemu i stade kraljevati. Roboamu je bila četrdeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a sedamnaest je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu, u gradu koji Jahve izabra između svih izraelskih plemena da ondje postavi Ime svoje. Majka mu se zvala Naama, a bila je Amonka.
14 And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.
Činio je zlo, jer nije pregnuo srcem da traži Jahvu.
15 And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Roboamova prva i posljednja djela - i ratovi koji su se neprestano vodili između Roboama i Jeroboama - zapisani su u povijesti proroka Šemaje i u plemenskom popisu vidioca Adona.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
Potom Roboam počinu sa svojim ocima i bi sahranjen u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Abija.
