2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, —to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Došavši u Jeruzalem, skupi sav dom Judin i Benjaminov, sto i osamdeset tisuća vrsnih ratnika, da udare na Izraela i da Roboamu vrate kraljevstvo.
2 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
Ali dođe Jahvina riječ Božjem čovjeku Šemaji:
3 Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, —and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying:
“Kaži Salomonovu sinu Roboamu, judejskomu kralju, i svim Izraelcima u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu:
4 Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
Ovako veli Jahve: 'Ne idite se tući s braćom! Neka se svatko vrati svojoj kući, jer je ovo poteklo od mene.'” I oni poslušaše riječ Jahvinu, vratiše se i ne udariše na Jeroboama.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, —and built cities for defence, in Judah;
Roboam, stolujući u Jeruzalemu, poče dizati tvrde gradove po Judeji.
6 yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa;
Tako je sagradio Betlehem, Etam, Tekou,
7 and Beth-zur and Soco, and Adullam;
Bet Sur, Sokon, Adulam,
8 and Gath and Mareshah, and Ziph;
Gat, Maresu, Zif,
9 and Adoraim and Lachish, and Azekah;
Adorajim, Lakiš, Azeku,
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, —as fortified cities.
Soru, Ajalon i Hebron, tvrde gradove u Judinu i Benjaminovu plemenu.
11 And he strengthened the fortified places, —and put therein captains, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
Utvrdivši gradove, postavi im zapovjednike i dovuče zalihe hrane, ulja i vina;
12 and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong, —thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
u svaki pojedini grad stavi štitova i kopalja i utvrdi ih vrlo jako. Tako je on imao Judino i Benjaminovo pleme.
13 And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries.
Svećenici i leviti, koji su bili po svem Izraelu, pristupiše k njemu iz svih krajeva.
14 For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem, —for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh;
Leviti ostaviše pašnjake i posjed te otiđoše u Judeju i Jeruzalem, jer ih je bio odbacio Jeroboam i njegovi sinovi da ne obavljaju svećeničku službu Jahvi,
15 and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons—and for the calves which he had made.
a postavio je svećenike za uzvišice, za jarce i za telad koju je napravio.
16 And, after them—out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.
Za njima su iz svih izraelskih plemena dolazili u Jeruzalem da žrtvuju Jahvi, Bogu svojih otaca, oni koji su srcem tražili Jahvu, Boga Izraelova.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, —for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years.
Tako su utvrdili judejsko kraljevstvo i osokolili Salomonova sina Roboama za tri godine, jer su tri godine živjeli poput Davida i Salomona.
18 And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, —and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse;
Roboam je sebi uzeo za žemu Mahalatu, kćer Davidova sina Jerimota, i Abihajilu, kćer Jišajeva sina Eliaba,
19 and she bare him sons, —Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.
koja mu rodi sinove: Jeuša, Šemarju i Zahama.
20 And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom, —and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
A poslije nje oženio se Abšalomovom kćerju Maakom, koja mu rodi Abiju, Etaja, Zizu i Šelomita.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines, —and begat twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Roboam je ljubio Abšalomovu kćer Maaku više od svih svojih žena i inoča, iako je uzeo osamnaest žena i šezdeset inoča i rodio dvadeset i osam sinova i šezdeset kćeri.
22 So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren, —yea that he might make him king.
I Roboam postavi Maakina sina Abiju za poglavara i kneza nad njegovom braćom, jer ga je naumio postaviti za kralja.
23 So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance, —and asked a multitude of wives.
I, mudro radeći, razmjesti sinove po svim judejskim i Benjaminovim krajevima, po svim tvrdim gradovima, davši im hrane izobila i poženivši ih sa mnogo žena.
