Chronicles II 10
1 And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
profectus est autem Roboam in Sychem illuc enim cunctus Israhel convenerat ut constituerent eum regem
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled there from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
quod cum audisset Hieroboam filius Nabath qui erat in Aegypto fugerat quippe illuc ante Salomonem statim reversus est
3 And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
vocaveruntque eum et venit cum universo Israhel et locuti sunt ad Roboam dicentes
4 Your father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of your father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
pater tuus durissimo iugo nos pressit tu leviora impera patre tuo qui nobis gravem inposuit servitutem et paululum de onere subleva ut serviamus tibi
5 And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
qui ait post tres dies revertimini ad me cumque abisset populus
6 And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do you counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
iniit consilium cum senibus qui steterant coram patre eius Salomone dum adviveret dicens quid datis consilii ut respondeam populo
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If you would this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be your servants for ever.
qui dixerunt ei si placueris populo huic et lenieris eos verbis clementibus servient tibi omni tempore
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men, who took counsel with him, and he took counsel with the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before him.
at ille reliquit consilium senum et cum iuvenibus tractare coepit qui cum eo nutriti fuerant et erant in comitatu illius
9 And he said to them, What do you advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which your father laid upon us?
dixitque ad eos quid vobis videtur vel respondere quid debeo populo huic qui dixit mihi subleva iugum quod inposuit nobis pater tuus
10 And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you speak to the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shall you say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
at illi responderunt ut iuvenes et nutriti cum eo in deliciis atque dixerunt sic loqueris populo qui dixit tibi pater tuus adgravavit iugum nostrum tu subleva et sic respondebis eis minimus digitus meus grossior est lumbis patris mei
11 And whereas my father chastised you with a heavy yoke, I will also add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, and I will chastise you with scorpions.
pater meus inposuit vobis iugum grave et ego maius pondus adponam pater meus cecidit vos flagellis ego vero caedam scorpionibus
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
venit ergo Hieroboam et universus populus ad Roboam die tertio sicut praeceperat eis
13 And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
responditque rex dura derelicto consilio seniorum
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
locutusque est iuxta iuvenum voluntatem pater meus grave vobis inposuit iugum quod ego gravius faciam pater meus cecidit vos flagellis ego vero caedam scorpionibus
15 And the king listened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
et non adquievit populi precibus erat enim voluntatis Dei ut conpleretur sermo eius quem locutus fuerat per manum Ahiae Silonitis ad Hieroboam filium Nabath
16 for the king did not listen to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
populus autem universus rege duriora dicente sic locutus est ad eum non est nobis pars in David neque hereditas in filio Isai revertere in tabernacula tua Israhel tu autem pasce domum tuam David et abiit Israhel in tabernacula sua
17 But the men of Israel, even those who lived in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
super filios autem Israhel qui habitabant in civitatibus Iuda regnavit Roboam
18 And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
misitque rex Roboam Aduram qui praeerat tributis et lapidaverunt eum filii Israhel et mortuus est porro rex Roboam currum festinavit ascendere et fugit in Hierusalem
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
recessitque Israhel a domo David usque ad diem hanc
