1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all Israel has come to Shechem to make him king.
Roboam ode u Šekem, jer su u Šekem došli svi Izraelci da ga zakralje.
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat’s hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he has fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwells in Egypt),
Čim to ču Nebatov sin Jeroboam - koji još bijaše u Egiptu, kamo je pobjegao pred kraljem Salomonom - vrati se iz Egipta, jer
3 that they send and call for him; and they come—Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel—and speak to Rehoboam, saying,
bijahu poslali po nj i dozvali ga. Kad dođoše Jeroboam i sav zbor Izraelov, rekoše Roboamu:
4 “Your father hardened our yoke, and you, now, lighten [some] of the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
“Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo teški jaram. Ti nam sada olakšaj tešku službu svoga oca, teški jaram koji metnu na nas, pa ćemo ti služiti!”
5 And he says to them, “Yet go [for] three days, and come back to me”; and the people go.
A on im odgovori: “Za tri dana dođite opet k meni.” I narod ode.
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the elderly who have been standing in the presence of his father Solomon, in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer 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 speak to him, saying, “If, today, you are a servant of this people, and have served them, and answered them, and spoken good words to them, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
Oni mu odgovoriše: “Ako danas udovoljiš tim ljudima, budeš im blagonaklon i odgovoriš im lijepim riječima, oni će ti uvijek ostati sluge.”
8 And he forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, who are standing before 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 says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
Upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovome narodu koji mi reče: 'Olakšaj jaram što nam ga nametnu tvoj otac?'”
10 And they speak to him—the boys who had grown up with him—saying, “Thus you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make [it] light on us; thus you speak to them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;
Mladići koji bijahu s njime odrasli odgovoriše mu: “Narodu koji ti reče: 'Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo jaram, a ti nam ga olakšaj', uzvrati ovako: 'Moj je mali prst deblji od bedara moga oca!
11 and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions.”
Eto, moj vam je otac nametnuo teški jaram, a ja ću još otežati vaš jaram; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.'”
12 And they come—Jeroboam and all the people—to Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, “Come back to me on the third day.”
A treći dan dođe sav narod k Roboamu, kako im bijaše zapovjedio kralj rekavši im: “Vratite se k meni trećega dana.”
13 And the king answers the people sharply, and forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him,
Kralj im oštro odgovori, odbacivši savjet koji mu dadoše stariji.
14 and speaks to them, according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions”;
I reče im po savjetu mladih: “Moj je otac otežao vaš jaram, a ja ću još dodati na nj; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.”
15 and the king did not listen to the people, for the revolution was from YHWH, in order to establish His word that YHWH spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Kralj dakle ne htjede poslušati naroda, jer tako upriliči Jahve da se ispuni riječ što je preko Ahije iz Šila kaza Nebatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
16 And all Israel sees that the king has not listened to them, and the people send the king back word, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; [return] to your tents, O Israel; now see your house, O David!” And Israel goes to its 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! A sad se, Davide, brini za svoj dom!” I sav Izrael ode pod svoje šatore.
17 As for the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Roboam zavlada samo nad Izraelovim sinovima koji su živjeli po judejskim gradovima.
18 And King Rehoboam sends Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel casts stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Potom kralj Roboam posla Adorama, nadstojnika za tlaku, ali ga Izraelci kamenovaše i on umrije; a kralj se Roboam brže-bolje pope na kola i pobježe u Jeruzalem.
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Tako se Izrael odijelio od doma Davidova sve do danas.
20 And it comes to pass, at all Israel hearing that Jeroboam has returned, that they send and call him to the congregation, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none has been after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.
Kada su Izraelci doznali da se vratio Jeroboam, pozvaše ga u zajednicu i postaviše ga kraljem nad svim Izraelom. Uz kuću Davidovu nije pristajao nitko, osim samoga plemena Judina.
21 And Rehoboam comes to Jerusalem, and assembles all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
Došavši u Jeruzalem, Roboam skupi sav dom Judin i pleme Benjaminovo, sto i osamdeset tisuća vrsnih ratnika, da udare na dom Izraelov i da vrate kraljevstvo Roboamu, sinu Salomonovu.
22 And the word of God is to Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
Ali dođe Jahvina riječ Božjem čovjeku Šemaji:
23 “Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,
“Kaži Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, judejskom kralju, i svem domu Judinu i Benjaminovu i ostalom narodu:
24 Thus said YHWH: You do not go up nor fight with your brothers the sons of Israel; let each return to his house, for this thing has been from Me”; and they hear the word of YHWH, and turn back to go according to the word of YHWH.
Ovako veli Jahve: 'Ne idite se tući s braćom, djecom Izraelovom! Neka se svatko vrati svojoj kući, jer je ovo poteklo od mene.'” I oni poslušaše riječ Jahvinu i vratiše se kako im reče Jahve.
25 And Jeroboam builds Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwells in it, and goes out there, and builds Penuel;
Jeroboam utvrdi Šekem u Efrajimovoj gori i ondje se nastani. Poslije izađe odatle i utvrdi Penuel.
26 and Jeroboam says in his heart, “Now the kingdom turns back to the house of David—
Jeroboam reče u svom srcu: “Sad bi se kraljevstvo moglo vratiti domu Davidovu.
27 if this people goes up to make sacrifices in the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, then the heart of this people has turned back to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
Ako ovaj narod bude nastavio uzlaziti u Dom Jahvin u Jeruzalemu da prinosi žrtve, srce će se naroda vratiti svome gospodaru, Roboamu, kralju judejskome, i mene će ubiti.”
28 And the king takes counsel, and makes two calves of gold, and says to them, “Enough of you from going up to Jerusalem; behold, your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
Pošto se kralj posavjetovao, načini dva zlatna teleta i reče narodu: “Dosta ste uzlazili u Jeruzalem! Evo, Izraele, tvoga boga koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske.”
29 And he sets the one in Beth-El, and the other he has put in Dan,
Zatim postavi jedno tele u Betelu, a drugo smjesti u Dan.
30 and this thing becomes a sin, and the people go before the one—to Dan.
To je bila prigoda za grijeh: narod je odlazio jednome u Betel i drugome u Dan.
31 And he makes the house of high places, and makes priests from the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
I podiže Jeroboam hram na uzvišicama i postavi iz puka svećenike koji nisu bili sinovi Levijevi.
32 and Jeroboam makes a festival in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offers on the altar—so he did in Beth-El—to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he has appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.
Zatim je Jeroboam uveo blagdan u osmom mjesecu, petnaestoga dana tog mjeseca, kao što je blagdan koji se slavi u Judeji, i uzađe k žrtveniku. Tako je učinio u Betelu, žrtvujući teocima koje je načinio. U Betelu je postavio i svećenike uzvišica što ih bijaše podigao.
33 And he offers up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised from his own heart, and he makes a festival for the sons of Israel, and offers on the altar—to make incense.
I uzađe k žrtveniku koji je načinio, petnaestoga dana osmog mjeseca, mjeseca koji je sam izabrao; i ustanovi blagdan za Izraelce i uzađe k žrtveniku da prinese kad.
