1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for al Israel were come to Sheche, to make him king
Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti ves Izrael je prišel v Sihem, da ga postavijo za kralja.
2 And whe Ieroboam ye sonne of Nebat heard of it (who was yet in Egypt, whither Ieroboam had fled from king Salomon, and dwelt in Egypt)
Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil še v Egiptu, slišal o tem (kajti pobegnil je izpred prisotnosti kralja Salomona in je Jerobeám prebival v Egiptu),
3 Then they sent and called him: and Ieroboam and all the Congregation of Israel came, and spake vnto Rehoboam, saying,
da so poslali in ga poklicali. Jerobeám in vsa Izraelova skupnost pa je prišla in spregovorila Rehabámu, rekoč:
4 Thy father made our yoke grieuous: now therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke which he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
»Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil boleč. Sedaj torej olajšaj bolečo službo svojega očeta in njegov težek jarem, ki ga je položil na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
5 And he said vnto them, Depart yet for three dayes, then come againe to me. And the people departed.
Rekel jim je: »Odidite še za tri dni, potem ponovno pridite k meni.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
6 And King Rehoboam tooke counsell with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while he yet liued, and sayde, What counsell giue ye, that I may make an answere to this people?
Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je še živel in rekel: »Kako svetujete, da lahko odgovorim temu ljudstvu?«
7 And they spake vnto him, saying, If thou be a seruant vnto this people this day, and serue them, and answere them, and speake kinde wordes to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
Odgovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če hočeš biti ta dan služabnik temu ljudstvu in jim hočeš služiti in jim odgovoriti in jim govoriti dobre besede, potem bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
8 But he forsooke the counsell that the olde men had giuen him, and asked counsell of the yong men that had bene brought vp with him, and waited on him.
Toda zapustil je nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so odrasli z njim in ki so stali pred njim
9 And he said vnto them, What counsell giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke, which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?
in jim rekel: »Kakšen nasvet dajete vi, da lahko odgovorimo temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Naredi jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil nad nas, lažji?‹«
10 Then the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say vnto this people, that haue spoken vnto thee, and said, Thy father hath made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter vnto vs: euen thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loynes.
Mladeniči, ki so zrasli z njim, so mu govorili, rekoč: »Tako boš govoril temu ljudstvu, ki ti je govorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor očetova ledja.
11 Now where as my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet make your yoke heauier: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
Kakor vam je moj oče naložil težek jarem, bom sedaj dodal vašemu jarmu. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
12 Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me againe ye thirde day.
Tako je Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo tretji dan prišlo k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj določil, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni tretji dan.«
13 And the king answered the people sharpely, and left the old mens counsell that they gaue him,
Kralj je ljudstvu surovo odgovoril in zapustil nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali.
14 And spake to them after the counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, and I will make your yoke more grieuous: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
Spregovoril jim je glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, jaz pa bom vašemu jarmu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval tudi z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
15 And the King hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of the Lord, that he might perfourme his saying, which the Lord had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite vnto Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.
Zatorej kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti stvar je bila od Gospoda, da je lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je Gospod po Šilčanu Ahíju govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
16 So when all Israel sawe that the King regarded them not, the people answered the King thus, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? we haue none inheritance in the sonne of Ishai. To your tents, O Israel: nowe see to thine owne house, Dauid. So Israel departed vnto their tents.
Torej ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni prisluhnil, je ljudstvo odgovorilo kralju, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. K svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. Sedaj poglej k svoji lastni hiši, David.« Tako je Izrael odšel v svoje šotore.
17 Howbeit ouer the children of Israel, which dwelt in the cities of Iudah, did Rehoboam reigne still.
Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
18 Nowe the King Rehoboam sent Adoram the receiuer of the tribute, and all Israel stoned him to death: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Adoráma, ki je bil nad davkom in ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni, da je umrl. Zato je kralj Rehabám pohitel, da se spravi k svojemu bojnemu vozu, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
Tako se je Izrael uprl zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
20 And when all Israel had heard that Ieroboam was come againe, they sent and called him vnto the assemblie, and made him King ouer all Israel: none followed the house of Dauid, but the tribe of Iudah onely.
Pripetilo se je, ko je ves Izrael slišal, da je Jerobeám ponovno prišel, da so poslali in ga poklicali k skupnosti in ga postavili za kralja nad vsem Izraelom. Tam ni bilo nikogar, ki je sledil Davidovi hiši, razen samo Judovega rodu.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered all the house of Iudah with the tribe of Beniamin an hundreth and foure score thousand of chosen men (which were good warriours) to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon.
Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je zbral vso Judovo hišo, z Benjaminovim rodom, sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelovo hišo, da kraljestvo ponovno privedejo k Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu.
22 But the worde of God came vnto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Toda beseda od Boga je prišla k Šemajáju, Božjemu možu, rekoč:
23 Speake vnto Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and vnto all the house of Iudah and Beniamin, and the remnant of the people, saying,
»Govori Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu, Judovemu kralju in vsej Judovi in Benjaminovi hiši in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go vp, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done by me. They obeyed therefore the worde of the Lord and returned, and departed, according to the worde of the Lord.
›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper vaše brate, Izraelove otroke. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je od mene.‹« Prisluhnili so torej Gospodovi besedi in se vrnili, da odidejo, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
25 Then Ieroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein, and went from thence, and built Penuel.
Potem je Jerobeám na gori Efrájim zgradil Sihem in tam prebival in odšel od tam ter zgradil Penuél.
26 And Ieroboam thought in his heart, Nowe shall the kingdome returne to the house of Dauid.
Jerobeám je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj se bo kraljestvo vrnilo k Davidovi hiši.
27 If this people goe vp and doe sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, then shall the heart of this people turne againe vnto their lorde, euen to Rehoboam King of Iudah: so shall they kill me and goe againe to Rehoboam King of Iudah.
Če gre to ljudstvo gor, da opravi klavno daritev v Gospodovi hiši, v Jeruzalemu, potem se bo srce tega ljudstva ponovno obrnilo k njihovemu gospodu, k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu, mene pa bodo ubili in ponovno odšli k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu.«
28 Whereupon the King tooke counsell, and made two calues of golde, and saide vnto them, It is too much for you to goe vp to Ierusalem: beholde, O Israel, thy gods, which brought thee vp out of the lande of Egypt.
Nakar se je kralj posvetoval in naredil dve teleti iz zlata ter jim rekel: »To je za vas preveč, da greste gor v Jeruzalem. Poglejte svoje bogove, oh Izrael, ki so te privedli gor iz egiptovske dežele.«
29 And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other set he in Dan.
Eno je postavil v Betelu, drugo pa v Danu.
30 And this thing turned to sinne: for the people went (because of the one) euen to Dan.
Ta stvar je postala greh, kajti ljudstvo je odšlo, da bi oboževalo pred enim, celó k Danu.
31 Also he made an house of hie places, and made Priestes of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui.
Naredil je hišo visokih krajev in iz najnižjih izmed ljudstva naredil duhovnike, ki niso bili izmed Lévijevih sinov.
32 And Ieroboam made a feast the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, like vnto the feast that is in Iudah, and offred on the altar. So did he in Beth-el and offered vnto the calues that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the Priestes of the hie places, which he had made.
Jerobeám je odredil praznovanje v osmem mesecu, na petnajsti dan meseca, podobno prazniku, ki je v Judu in daroval na oltarju. Tako je storil v Betelu, žrtvoval je teletoma, ki ju je naredil in v Betelu je postavil duhovnike visokih krajev, ki jih je naredil.
33 And he offered vpon the altar, which he had made in Beth-el, the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, (euen in the moneth which he had forged of his owne heart) and made a solemne feast vnto the children of Israel: and he went vp to the altar, to burne incense.
Tako je daroval na oltarju, ki ga je naredil v Betelu, na petnajsti dan osmega meseca, celó v mesecu, ki ga je zasnoval iz svojega lastnega srca in odredil praznovanje Izraelovim otrokom in daroval na oltarju in zažgal kadilo.
