2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
Tada 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—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back out of Egypt;
Čim to ču Nebatov sin Jeroboam - koji je bio u Egiptu kamo bijaše pobjegao pred kraljem Salomonom - vrati se iz Egipta,
3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak to Rehoboam, saying,
jer bijahu poslali po nj i dozvali ga. Kad dođoše Jeroboam i sav zbor Izraelov, rekoše Roboamu:
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.”
“Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo težak jaram, ti nam sada olakšaj tešku službu svoga oca i teški jaram koji metnu na nas, pa ćemo ti služiti.”
5 And he says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
On im odgovori: “Za tri dana dođite opet k meni.” I narod ode.
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?”
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 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.”
A oni mu odgovoriše: “Ako udovoljiš tim ljudima, budeš im blagonaklon i odgovoriš im lijepim riječima, oni će ti uvijek biti sluge.”
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,
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 that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
Upita ih: “Što savjetujete da odgovorim ovomu narodu koji mi reče: 'Olakšaj jaram što nam ga nametnu tvoj otac!'”
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;
Odgovoriše mu mladići koji bijahu s njim odrasli: “Narodu koji ti je rekao 'Tvoj nam je otac nametnuo jaram, a ti nam ga olakšaj', odvrati 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—with scorpions.”
Dakle, moj vam je otac nametnuo težak 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 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.”
Trećega dana dođe Jeroboam i sav narod k Roboamu, jer im kralj bijaše naredio: “Vratite se k meni trećega dana.”
13 And the king answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
Kralj im oštro odgovori; odbacivši savjet starijih,
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.”
odvrati po savjetu mladih: “Moj je otac otežao vaš jaram, a ja ću još dometnuti na nj; moj vas je otac šibao bičevima, a ja ću vas šibati bičevima sa željeznim štipavcima.”
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.
Kralj, dakle, ne htjede poslušati naroda, jer tako upriliči Bog da se ispuni riječ što je preko Šilonjanina Ahije kaza Nabatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
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.
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! Sad se, Davide, brini za svoj dom!” I sav Izrael ode pod svoje šatore.
17 As for the sons of Israel who are 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 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;
Potom kralj Roboam posla Adorama, nadstojnika za tlaku, ali ga Izraelci kamenovaše i on umrije; a kralj se Roboam brže-bolje pope na kola te 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.
