< 1 Kings 12 >
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all Israel has come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti ves Izrael je prišel v Sihem, da ga postavijo za kralja.
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),
Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil še v Egiptu, slišal o tem (kajti pobegnil je izpred prisotnosti kralja Salomona in je Jerobeám prebival v Egiptu),
3 that they send and call for him; and they come—Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel—and speak to Rehoboam, saying,
da so poslali in ga poklicali. Jerobeám in vsa Izraelova skupnost pa je prišla in spregovorila Rehabámu, rekoč:
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 oče je naš jarem naredil boleč. Sedaj torej olajšaj bolečo službo svojega očeta in njegov težek jarem, ki ga je položil na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
5 And he says to them, “Yet go [for] three days, and come back to me”; and the people go.
Rekel jim je: »Odidite še za tri dni, potem ponovno pridite k meni.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
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?”
Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je še živel in rekel: »Kako svetujete, da lahko odgovorim temu ljudstvu?«
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.”
Odgovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če hočeš biti ta dan služabnik temu ljudstvu in jim hočeš služiti in jim odgovoriti in jim govoriti dobre besede, potem bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
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;
Toda zapustil je nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so odrasli z njim in ki so stali pred njim
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?”
in jim rekel: »Kakšen nasvet dajete vi, da lahko odgovorimo temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Naredi jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil nad nas, lažji?‹«
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;
Mladeniči, ki so zrasli z njim, so mu govorili, rekoč: »Tako boš govoril temu ljudstvu, ki ti je govorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor očetova ledja.
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.”
Kakor vam je moj oče naložil težek jarem, bom sedaj dodal vašemu jarmu. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
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.”
Tako je Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo tretji dan prišlo k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj določil, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni tretji dan.«
13 And the king answers the people sharply, and forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him,
Kralj je ljudstvu surovo odgovoril in zapustil nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali.
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”;
Spregovoril jim je glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, jaz pa bom vašemu jarmu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval tudi z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
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.
Zatorej kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti stvar je bila od Gospoda, da je lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je Gospod po Šilčanu Ahíju govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
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.
Torej ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni prisluhnil, je ljudstvo odgovorilo kralju, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. K svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. Sedaj poglej k svoji lastni hiši, David.« Tako je Izrael odšel v svoje šotore.
17 As for the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
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;
Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Adoráma, ki je bil nad davkom in ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni, da je umrl. Zato je kralj Rehabám pohitel, da se spravi k svojemu bojnemu vozu, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Tako se je Izrael uprl zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
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.
Pripetilo se je, ko je ves Izrael slišal, da je Jerobeám ponovno prišel, da so poslali in ga poklicali k skupnosti in ga postavili za kralja nad vsem Izraelom. Tam ni bilo nikogar, ki je sledil Davidovi hiši, razen samo Judovega rodu.
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.
Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je zbral vso Judovo hišo, z Benjaminovim rodom, sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelovo hišo, da kraljestvo ponovno privedejo k Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu.
22 And the word of God is to Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
Toda beseda od Boga je prišla k Šemajáju, Božjemu možu, rekoč:
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,
»Govori Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu, Judovemu kralju in vsej Judovi in Benjaminovi hiši in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
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.
›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper vaše brate, Izraelove otroke. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je od mene.‹« Prisluhnili so torej Gospodovi besedi in se vrnili, da odidejo, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
25 And Jeroboam builds Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwells in it, and goes out there, and builds Penuel;
Potem je Jerobeám na gori Efrájim zgradil Sihem in tam prebival in odšel od tam ter zgradil Penuél.
26 and Jeroboam says in his heart, “Now the kingdom turns back to the house of David—
Jerobeám je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj se bo kraljestvo vrnilo k Davidovi hiši.
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.”
Če gre to ljudstvo gor, da opravi klavno daritev v Gospodovi hiši, v Jeruzalemu, potem se bo srce tega ljudstva ponovno obrnilo k njihovemu gospodu, k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu, mene pa bodo ubili in ponovno odšli k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu.«
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.”
Nakar se je kralj posvetoval in naredil dve teleti iz zlata ter jim rekel: »To je za vas preveč, da greste gor v Jeruzalem. Poglejte svoje bogove, oh Izrael, ki so te privedli gor iz egiptovske dežele.«
29 And he sets the one in Beth-El, and the other he has put in Dan,
Eno je postavil v Betelu, drugo pa v Danu.
30 and this thing becomes a sin, and the people go before the one—to Dan.
Ta stvar je postala greh, kajti ljudstvo je odšlo, da bi oboževalo pred enim, celó k Danu.
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;
Naredil je hišo visokih krajev in iz najnižjih izmed ljudstva naredil duhovnike, ki niso bili izmed Lévijevih sinov.
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.
Jerobeám je odredil praznovanje v osmem mesecu, na petnajsti dan meseca, podobno prazniku, ki je v Judu in daroval na oltarju. Tako je storil v Betelu, žrtvoval je teletoma, ki ju je naredil in v Betelu je postavil duhovnike visokih krajev, ki jih je naredil.
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.
Tako je daroval na oltarju, ki ga je naredil v Betelu, na petnajsti dan osmega meseca, celó v mesecu, ki ga je zasnoval iz svojega lastnega srca in odredil praznovanje Izraelovim otrokom in daroval na oltarju in zažgal kadilo.
