< 2 Chronicles 12 >
1 And it came to pass, when Rehobo'am had established the kingdom, and when he had become strong, that he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
А кад Ровоам утврди царство и кад осили, остави закон Господњи и сав Израиљ с њим.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehobo'am, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, —because they had acted faithlessly against the Lord, —
А пете године царовања Ровоамовог дође Сисак цар мисирски на Јерусалим, јер згрешише Господу,
3 With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen: and innumerable were the people that came with him out of Egypt—the Lubim, the Sukkiyim, and the Ethiopians.
С хиљаду и две стотине кола и са шездесет хиљада коњаника, и не беше броја народу који дође с њим из Мисира, Лувејима, Сухејима и Хусејима.
4 And he captured the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and he came as far as Jerusalem.
И узе тврде градове Јудине и дође до Јерусалима.
5 And Shem'ayah the prophet came to Rehobo'am, and the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Ye have indeed forsaken me, and therefore have I also relinquished you into the hand of Shishak.
Тада дође Семаја пророк к Ровоаму и кнезовима Јудиним, који се беху скупили у Јерусалим од Сисака, и рече им: Овако вели Господ: Ви остависте мене, зато и ја остављам вас у руке Сисаку.
6 Thereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.
Тада се понизише кнезови Израиљеви и цар и рекоше: Праведан је Господ.
7 And when the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, then came the word of the Lord to Shem'ayah, saying, “They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will permit some little to escape from them; and my wrath shall not be poured out over Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.”
А кад их виде Господ где се понизише, дође реч Господња Семаји говорећи: Понизише се, нећу их потрти, него ћу им сада дати избављење, и неће се излити јарост моја на Јерусалим преко Сисака.
8 However they shall be servants unto him, and they shall know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
Него ће му бити слуге да познаду шта је мени служити, шта ли служити царствима земаљским.
9 And so came up Shishak the king of Egypt against Jerusalem, and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house: every thing did he take away; and he took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
И тако дође Сисак, цар мисирски, у Јерусалим и узе благо дома Господњег и благо дома царевог, све то узе; узе и штитове златне, које беше начинио Соломун;
10 And king Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of copper, and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners, who kept guard at the door of the king's house.
И на њихово место начини цар Ровоам штитове од бронзе, и предаде их старешинама над стражарима који чувају врата дома царевог.
11 And it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, that the runners came and bore them, and carried them back into the apartment of the runners.
И кад иђаше цар у дом Господњи долажаху стражари и ношаху их, а после их опет остављаху у ризницу стражарску.
12 And when he had humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so that he destroyed him not to make an end [of him]: and also in Judah were some good things [found].
Што се дакле понизи, одврати се од њега гнев Господњи, и не затре га сасвим; јер још у Јуди беше добра.
13 And king Rehobo'am strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehobo'am was one and forty years old when he became king, and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess.
И утврди се цар Ровоам у Јерусалиму, и царова; јер беше Ровоаму четрдесет и једна година кад се зацари, и седамдесет година царова у Јерусалиму граду, који изабра Господ између свих племена Израиљевих да онде намести име своје. А матери његовој беше име Нама, Амонка.
14 And he did the evil; because he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
Али он чињаше зло, јер не управи срца свог да тражи Господа.
15 And the acts of Rehobo'am, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Shem'ayah the prophet, and of 'Iddo, the seer concerning the genealogies. And the wars of Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am [lasted] all the days.
Али дела Ровоамова прва и последња нису ли записана у књизи пророка Семаје и видеоца Ида, где се казују кољена, а и ратови који беху једнако међу Ровоамом и Јеровоамом?
16 And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abiyah his son became king in his stead.
И почину Ровоам код отаца својих, и би погребен у граду Давидовом; а на његово се место зацари Авија, син његов.
