2 Chronicles 10
1 All the people of Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
Tedy odšel Roboám do Sichem; nebo tam sešel se byl všecken Izrael, aby ho ustanovili za krále.
2 Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had fled to Egypt [to escape] from King Solomon. But when he heard [about the people wanting to appoint Rehoboam to be their king], he returned [to Israel] from Egypt
Stalo se pak, když o tom uslyšel Jeroboám syn Nebatův, jsa v Egyptě, kamž byl utekl před králem Šalomounem, navrátil se Jeroboám z Egypta.
3 So the [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and he went with them [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to Rehoboam,
Nebo poslali a povolali ho. Tedy přišed Jeroboám i všecken Izrael, mluvili k Roboámovi, řkouce:
4 “Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard for him. If you do not force us to work that hard, and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
Otec tvůj stížil jho naše, protož nyní polehč služby otce svého tvrdé a břemene jeho těžkého, kteréž vložil na nás, a budeme tobě sloužiti.
5 He replied, “Come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders [and Jeroboam] left.
Kterýž řekl jim: Po třech dnech navraťte se ke mně. I odšel lid.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted his older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still alive. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer these men?”
V tom radil se král Roboám s starci, kteříž stávali před Šalomounem otcem jeho, ještě za života jeho, řka: Kterak vy radíte, jakou odpověd mám dáti lidu tomu?
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and do things that will please them, and if you say kind things to them when you answer them, they will always serve you.”
I odpověděli jemu, řkouce: Jestliže se dobrotivě ukážeš lidu tomuto a povolíš jim, a mluviti budeš přívětivě, budou služebníci tvoji po všecky dny.
8 But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now his advisors.
Ale on opustil radu starců, kterouž dali jemu, a radil se s mládenci, kteříž odrostli s ním, a stávali před ním.
9 He said to them, “How should I answer the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
A řekl jim: Co vy radíte, jakou máme dáti odpověd lidu tomuto, kteříž mluvili ke mně, řkouce: Polehč břemene, kteréž vložil otec tvůj na nás?
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “[Those men] have said that your father forced them to work very hard for him, so they want you to reduce the [work and taxes] that your father required from them. But this is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
Jemuž odpověděli mládenci, kteříž zrostli s ním, řkouce: Takto odpovíš lidu tomu, kteříž mluvili k tobě a řekli: Otec tvůj stížil jho naše, ty pak polehč nám, takto díš jim: Nejmenší prst můj tlustší jest, nežli bedra otce mého.
11 What I mean is that my father required you to [work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
Nyní tedy, otec můj těžké břímě vzložil na vás, já pak přidám břemene vašeho; otec můj trestal vás bičíky, ale já biči uzlovatými.
12 Three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to King Rehoboam again, which is what he had told them to do.
Potom přišel Jeroboám i všecken lid k Roboámovi dne třetího, jakž byl vyřkl král, řka: Navraťte se ke mně dne třetího.
13 The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
I odpověděl jim král tvrdě. Nebo opustil král Roboám radu starců,
14 [He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
A mluvil k nim vedlé rady mládenců, řka: Otec můj stížil jho vaše, já pak k němu přidám; otec můj trestal vás bičíky, ale já biči uzlovatými.
15 So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam would happen.
A tak neuposlechl král lidu. (Příčina zajisté byla od Boha, aby naplnil Hospodin řeč svou, kterouž mluvil skrze Achiáše Silonského k Jeroboámovi synu Nebatovu.)
16 When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David, he can rule his own kingdom!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
Protož vida všecken Izrael, že by je král oslyšel, odpověděl lid králi, řkouce: Jakýž máme díl v Davidovi? Ani dědictví nemáme v synu Izai. Jeden každý k stanům svým, ó Izraeli! Nyní opatř dům svůj, Davide. Odšel tedy všecken Izrael k stanům svým,
17 And [after that, the only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribes of] Judah [and Benjamin].
Tak že nad syny Izraelskými toliko, kteříž bydlili v městech Judských, kraloval Roboám.
18 Then King Rehoboam went with Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
A když poslal král Roboám Adurama, kterýž byl nad platy, uházeli ho synové Izraelští kamením až do smrti, čímž král Roboám přinucen byl, aby vsedna na vůz, utekl do Jeruzaléma.
19 Ever since that time, [the people of the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants of [King] David.
A tak odstoupili synové Izraelští od domu Davidova až do dnešního dne.
