2 Chronicles 10
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Sheche came all Israel to make him king.
Tada Roboam ode u Šekem, jer su u Šekem došli svi Izraelci da ga zakralje.
2 And when Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat heard it, (which was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Salomon the King) he returned out of Egypt.
Čim to ču Nebatov sin Jeroboam - koji je bio u Egiptu kamo bijaše pobjegao pred kraljem Salomonom - vrati se iz Egipta,
3 And they sent and called him: so came Ieroboam and all Israel, and communed with Rehoboam, saying,
jer bijahu poslali po nj i dozvali ga. Kad dođoše Jeroboam i sav zbor Izraelov, rekoše Roboamu:
4 Thy father made our yoke grieuous: nowe therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, that he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
“Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo težak jaram, ti nam sada olakšaj tešku službu svoga oca i teški jaram koji metnu na nas, pa ćemo ti služiti.”
5 And he sayde to them, Depart yet three dayes, then come againe vnto me. And the people departed.
On im odgovori: “Za tri dana dođite opet k meni.” I narod ode.
6 And King Rehoboam tooke counsel with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while hee yet liued, saying, What counsell giue ye that I may answere this people?
Tada se kralj Roboam posavjetova sa starcima koji su služili njegovu ocu Salomonu dok je bio živ i upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovome narodu?”
7 And they spake vnto him, saying, If thou be kinde to this people, and please them, and speake louing words to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
A oni mu odgovoriše: “Ako udovoljiš tim ljudima, budeš im blagonaklon i odgovoriš im lijepim riječima, oni će ti uvijek biti sluge.”
8 But hee left the counsel of the ancient men that they had giuen him, and tooke counsell of the yong men that were brought vp with him, and waited on him.
Ali on odbaci savjet što mu ga dadoše starci i posavjetova se s mladićima koji su odrasli s njim i bili mu u službi.
9 And he sayd vnto them, What counsel giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to mee, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?
Upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovomu narodu koji mi reče: 'Olakšaj jaram što nam ga nametnu tvoj otac!'”
10 And the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answere the people that spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter for vs: thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loines.
Odgovoriše mu mladići koji bijahu s njim odrasli: “Narodu koji ti je rekao 'Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo jaram, a ti nam ga olakšaj', odvrati ovako: 'Moj je mali prst deblji od bedara moga oca!
11 Now whereas my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet increase your yoke: my father hath chastised you with roddes, but I will correct you with scourges.
Dakle, moj vam je otac nametnuo težak jaram, a ja ću još otežati vaš jaram; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.'”
12 Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the King had appointed saying, Come againe to me the third day.
Trećega dana dođe Jeroboam i sav narod k Roboamu, jer im kralj bijaše naredio: “Vratite se k meni trećega dana.”
13 And the King answered them sharply: and King Rehoboam left the counsel of the ancient men,
Kralj im oštro odgovori; odbacivši savjet starijih,
14 And spake to them after ye counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, but I wil incease it: my father chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
odvrati po savjetu mladih: “Moj je otac otežao vaš jaram, a ja ću još dometnuti na nj; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.”
15 So the king hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of God that the Lord might performe his saying, which hee had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.
Kralj, dakle, ne htjede poslušati naroda, jer tako upriliči Bog da se ispuni riječ što je preko Šilonjanina Ahije kaza Nabatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
16 So when all Isarael sawe that the King would not heare them, the people answered the King, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? for we haue none inheritance in the sonue of Ishai. O Israel, euery man to your tents: now see to thine owne house, Dauid. So all Israel departed to their tents.
Kad Izraelci vidješe gdje se kralj oglušio, odgovori mu narod: “Kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? Mi nemamo baštine s Jišajevim sinom! U šatore, Izraele! Sad se, Davide, brini za svoj dom!” I sav Izrael ode pod svoje šatore.
17 Howbeit Rehoboam reigned ouer the children of Israel, that dwelt in the cities of Iudah.
Roboam zavlada samo nad Izraelovim sinovima koji su živjeli po judejskim gradovima.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was ouer the tribute, and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
Potom kralj Roboam posla Adorama, nadstojnika za tlaku, ali ga Izraelci kamenovaše i on umrije; a kralj se Roboam brže-bolje pope na kola te pobježe u Jeruzalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
Tako se Izrael odijelio od doma Davidova sve do danas.
