2 Chronicles 12
1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of Yahweh, —and all Israel with him.
Kad je Roboam utvrdio kraljevstvo i ojačao, napustio je Jahvin zakon i on i sav Izrael s njim.
2 And so it came to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, —because they had dealt treacherously against Yahweh; —
Ali pete godine Roboamova kraljevanja navali egipatski kralj Šišak na Jeruzalem, koji se bijaše iznevjerio Jahvi.
3 with twelve hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, -and, without number, the people who came with him out of Egypt—Lybians, Sukkiim, and Ethiopians.
Došao je sa tisuću i dvjesta bojnih kola i sa šezdeset tisuća konjanika, a narodu koji je došao s njim iz Egipta - Libijcima, Sukijcima i Etiopljanima - nije bilo broja.
4 And he captured the cities of defence which belonged to Judah, —and came, as far as Jerusalem.
Osvojivši tvrde judejske gradove, dopro je do Jeruzalema.
5 And, Shemaiah the prophet, came unto Rehoboam, and the rulers of Judah, who had gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem because of Shishak, —and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye, have left, me, Therefore, I also, have left, you, in the hands of Shishak.
Tada dođe prorok Šemaja k Roboamu i judejskim knezovima, koji se bijahu skupili u Jeruzalemu bježeći od Šišaka, i reče im: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Vi ste ostavili mene, pa i ja ostavljam vas u ruke Šišaku.'”
6 Then the rulers of Israel and the king humbled themselves, —and said, Righteous, is Yahweh!
Tada se poniziše izraelski knezovi i kralj i rekoše: “Pravedan je Jahve!”
7 And, when Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came unto Shemaiah, saying—They have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them, —but will grant them, in a little while, to escape, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem, by the hand of Shishak.
Kad ih Jahve vidje gdje se poniziše, dođe njegova riječ Šemaji: “Ponizili su se; neću ih uništiti, nego ću im uskoro dati spasenje te se moja srdžba neće oboriti na Jeruzalem preko Šišaka.
8 Nevertheless they shall become his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
Bit će mu sluge, da vide što znači služiti meni, a što zemaljskim kraljevstvima.”
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, the whole, he took, —and he took the bucklers of gold, which Solomon had made.
Tako egipatski kralj Šišak navali na Jeruzalem, opljačka blago iz Doma Jahvina i riznicu kraljeva dvora; sve je uzeo; uze i zlatne štitove što ih bijaše napravio Salomon.
10 And King Rehoboam made, instead of them, bucklers of bronze, —and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.
Namjesto njih kralj Roboam napravi tučane štitove i povjeri ih zapovjednicima straže koja je čuvala vrata kraljevskoga dvora.
11 And so it was, whensoever the king came into the house of Yahweh, the runners came and bare them, and then returned them into the chamber of the runners.
Kad je god kralj išao u Dom Jahvin, stražari su ih uzimali, a poslije ih vraćali u stražaru.
12 But, when he humbled himself, then turned from him the anger of Yahweh, that he would not destroy, to make an end, —moreover also, in Judah, there were some good things.
Kad se, dakle, ponizio, odvratio se od njega Jahvin gnjev te ga nije sasvim uništio, jer i u Judeji bijaše dobra.
13 So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned, —because, forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and, seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen, to set his Name there—from among all the tribes of Israel, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah, the Ammonitess.
Potom se kralj Roboam utvrdi u Jeruzalemu i stade kraljevati. Roboamu je bila četrdeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a sedamnaest je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu, u gradu koji Jahve izabra između svih izraelskih plemena da ondje postavi Ime svoje. Majka mu se zvala Naama, a bila je Amonka.
14 But he did evil, —in that he did not fix his heart to seek Yahweh.
Činio je zlo, jer nije pregnuo srcem da traži Jahvu.
15 Now, the story of Rehoboam, first and last, is it not written in the story of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer, for enrolling, -also the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, all the days?
Roboamova prva i posljednja djela - i ratovi koji su se neprestano vodili između Roboama i Jeroboama - zapisani su u povijesti proroka Šemaje i u plemenskom popisu vidioca Adona.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David, —and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
Potom Roboam počinu sa svojim ocima i bi sahranjen u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Abija.
