1 Kings 12

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

Tada otide Rovoam u Sihem: jer se ondje skupi sav Izrailj da ga zacare.

2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt; )

A Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji još bijaše u Misiru pobjegavši onamo od cara Solomuna, kad èu, on još osta u Misiru.

3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

Ali poslaše i dozvaše ga. Tako Jerovoam i sav zbor Izrailjev doðoše i rekoše Rovoamu govoreæi:

4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

Tvoj je otac metnuo na nas težak jaram; nego ti sada olakšaj ljutu službu oca svojega i teški jaram koji je metnuo na nas, pak æemo ti služiti.

5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

A on im reèe: idite, pa do tri dana doðite opet k meni. I narod otide.

6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

Tada car Rovoam uèini vijeæe sa starcima koji stajaše pred Solomunom ocem njegovijem dok bijaše živ, i reèe: kako svjetujete da odgovorim narodu?

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

A oni mu odgovoriše govoreæi: ako danas ugodiš narodu i poslušaš ih i odgovoriš im lijepijem rijeèima, oni æe ti biti sluge svagda.

8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

Ali on ostavi svjet što ga svjetovaše starci, i uèini vijeæe s mladiæima, koji odrastoše s njim i koji stajahu pred njim.

9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

I reèe im: šta vi svjetujete da odgovorimo narodu, koji mi rekoše govoreæi: olakšaj jaram koji je metnuo na nas tvoj otac?

10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

Tada mu odgovoriše mladiæi koji odrastoše s njim, i rekoše: ovako kaži narodu što ti reèe: tvoj je otac metnuo na nas težak jaram, nego nam ti olakšaj; ovako im reci: moj je mali prst deblji od bedara oca mojega.

11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 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 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

A treæi dan doðe Jerovoam i sav narod k Rovoamu, kako im bješe kazao car rekavši: doðite opet k meni do tri dana.

13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

I car odgovori oštro narodu ostavivši svjet što ga svjetovaše starci;

14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

I reèe im kako ga svjetovaše mladiæi govoreæi: moj je otac metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na jaram vaš; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu vas šibati bodljivijem bièevima.

15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from YHWH, that he might perform his saying, which YHWH spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

I car ogluši se naroda, jer Gospod bješe tako uredio da bi potvrdio rijeè svoju što je rekao preko Ahije Silomljanina Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu.

16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

A kad vidje sav Izrailj gdje ih se car ogluši, odgovori narod caru govoreæi: kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? nemamo našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem. U šatore svoje, Izrailju! a ti Davide, sad gledaj svoju kuæu. Tako otide Izrailj u šatore svoje.

17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

Samo nad sinovima Izrailjevijem, koji življahu po gradovima Judinijem, zacari se Rovoam.

18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

I car Rovoam posla Adorama koji bijaše nad dankom; ali ga sav Izrailj zasu kamenjem, te pogibe; a car Rovoam brže sjede na kola, te pobježe u Jerusalim.

19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

Tako otpade Izrailj od doma Davidova do današnjega dana.

20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

I kad èu sav Izrailj da se vratio Jerovoam, poslavši dozvaše ga na skupštinu, i postaviše ga carem nad svijem Izrailjem. Ne prista za domom Davidovijem nijedno pleme osim samoga plemena Judina.

21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

A Rovoam došav u Jerusalim sazva sav dom Judin i pleme Venijaminovo, sto i osamdeset tisuæa odabranijeh vojnika, da zavojšte na dom Izrailjev da povrate carstvo Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu.

22 But the word of Elohim came unto Shemaiah the man of Elohim, saying,

Ali doðe rijeè Božja Semeju, èovjeku Božijemu, govoreæi:

23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

Kaži Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu caru Judinu i svemu domu Judinu i Venijaminovu i ostalome narodu, i reci:

24 Thus saith YHWH, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of YHWH, and returned to depart, according to the word of YHWH.

Ovako veli Gospod: ne idite, i ne bijte se s braæom svojom, sinovima Izrailjevijem; vratite se svak svojoj kuæi, jer sam ja naredio tako da bude. I oni poslušaše rijeè Gospodnju i vrativši se otidoše kako Gospod reèe.

25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

Potom sazida Jerovoam Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i naseli se u njemu; a poslije otide odande i sazida Fanuil.

26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

I reèe Jerovoam u srcu svom: može se carstvo povratiti domu Davidovu.

27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of YHWH at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their master, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

Ako ovaj narod stane iæi u Jerusalim da prinosi žrtve u domu Gospodnjem, srce æe se narodu obratiti ka gospodaru njegovu Rovoamu caru Judinu, te æe me ubiti, i povratiæe se k Rovoamu caru Judinu.

28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy elohim, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Zato car smisli, te naèini dva teleta od zlata, pa reèe narodu: ne treba više da idete u Jerusalim; evo bogova tvojih, Izrailju, koji su te izveli iz zemlje Misirske.

29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

I namjesti jedno u Vetilju a drugo namjesti u Danu.

30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

I to bi na grijeh, jer narod iðaše k jednome do Dana.

31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

I naèini kuæu na visini, i postavi sveštenike od prostoga naroda koji ne bijahu od sinova Levijevih.

32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

I uèini Jerovoam praznik osmoga mjeseca petnaestoga dana, kao što je praznik u zemlji Judinoj, i prinese žrtve na oltaru; tako uèini i u Vetilju prinoseæi žrtve teocima koje naèini; i postavi u Vetilju sveštenike visinama koje naèini.

33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

I petnaestoga dana osmoga mjeseca, koji bješe smislio u srcu svom, prinošaše žrtve na oltaru koji naèini u Vetilju, i praznovaše praznik sa sinovima Izrailjevijem, i pristupi k oltaru da kadi.
