2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
| وَذَهَبَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى شَكِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى شَكِيمَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُمَلِّكُوهُ. | ١ |
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back out of Egypt;
| وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَرُبْعَامُ بْنُ نَبَاطَ، وَهُوَ فيِ مِصْرَ حَيْثُ هَرَبَ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَجَعَ يَرُبْعَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. | ٢ |
3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak to Rehoboam, saying,
| فَأَرْسَلُوا وَدَعَوْهُ، فَأَتَى يَرُبْعَامُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَلَّمُوا رَحُبْعَامَ قَائِلِينَ: | ٣ |
4 “Your father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [some] of the sharp service of your father, and [some] of his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
| «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَسَّى نِيرَنَا، فَٱلْآنَ خَفِّفْ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ أَبِيكَ ٱلْقَاسِيَةِ وَمِنْ نِيرِهِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَخْدِمَكَ». | ٤ |
5 And he says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ». فَذَهَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. | ٥ |
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the aged men who have been standing before his father Solomon in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer this people?”
| فَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱلشُّيُوخَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ قَائِلًا: «كَيْفَ تُشِيرُونَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟» | ٦ |
7 And they speak to him, saying, “If you become good to this people, and have been pleased with them, and spoken to them good words, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
| فَكَلَّمُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ صَالِحًا نَحْوَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَأَرْضَيْتَهُمْ وَكَلَّمْتَهُمْ كَلَامًا حَسَنًا، يَكُونُونَ لَكَ عَبِيدًا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ٧ |
8 And he forsakes the counsel of the aged men that they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
| فَتَرَكَ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ ٱلَّتِي أَشَارُوا بِهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَٱسْتَشَارَ ٱلْأَحْدَاثَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَهُ، | ٨ |
9 and he says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «بِمَاذَا تُشِيرُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَنَرُدَّ جَوَابًا عَلَى هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُونِي قَائِلِينَ: خَفِّفْ مِنَ ٱلنِّيرِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ عَلَيْنَا أَبُوكَ؟» | ٩ |
10 And the boys who have grown up with him speak with him, saying, “Thus you say to the people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make light [some] of our yoke; thus you say to them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
| فَكَلَّمَهُ ٱلْأَحْدَاثُ ٱلَّذِينَ نَشَأُوا مَعَهُ قَائِلِينَ: «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوكَ قَائِلِينَ: إِنَّ أَبَاكَ ثَقَّلَ نِيرَنَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخَفِّفْ عَنَّا، هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ خِنْصَرِي أَغْلَظُ مِنْ مَتْنَيْ أَبِي. | ١٠ |
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—with scorpions.”
| وَٱلْآنَ أَبِي حَمَّلَكُمْ نِيرًا ثَقِيلًا وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى نِيرِكُمْ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِٱلْعَقَارِبِ». | ١١ |
12 And Jeroboam comes in, and all the people, to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spoke, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
| فَجَاءَ يَرُبْعَامُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ قَائِلًا: «ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ». | ١٢ |
13 And the king answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
| فَأَجَابَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِقَسَاوَةٍ، وَتَرَكَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ مَشُورَةَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ، | ١٣ |
14 and speaks to them according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
| وَكَلَّمَهُمْ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَحْدَاثِ قَائِلًا: «أَبِي ثَقَّلَ نِيرَكُمْ وَأَنَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ. أَبِي أَدَّبَكُمْ بِٱلسِّيَاطِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْعَقَارِبِ». | ١٤ |
15 And the king has not listened to the people, for the revolution has been from God, for the sake of YHWH’s establishing His word that He spoke by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
| وَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلسَّبَبَ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ، لِكَيْ يُقِيمَ ٱلرَّبُّ كَلَامَهُ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ يَدِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ إِلَى يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ. | ١٥ |
16 And all Israel have seen that the king has not listened to them, and the people send back [word to] the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; [go], each to your tents, O Israel! Now see your house, O David!” And all [in] Israel go to their tents.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ، جَاوَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَيُّ قِسْمٍ لَنَا فِي دَاوُدَ؟ وَلَا نَصِيبَ لَنَا فِي ٱبْنِ يَسَّى! كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهِ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ يَادَاوُدُ». وَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى خِيَامِهِمْ. | ١٦ |
17 As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
| وَأَمَّا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا فَمَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحُبْعَامُ. | ١٧ |
18 And King Rehoboam sends Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ هَدُورَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّسْخِيرِ، فَرَجَمَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْحِجَارَةِ فَمَاتَ. فَبَادَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ رَحُبْعَامُ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْكَبَةِ لِيَهْرُبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١٨ |
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
| فَعَصَى إِسْرَائِيلُ بَيْتَ دَاوُدَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٩ |
