2 Chronicles 11
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
Když pak přijel Roboám do Jeruzaléma, shromáždil dům Judův a Beniaminův, sto a osmdesáte tisíc výborných bojovníků, aby bojovali proti Izraelovi, a aby zase obráceno bylo království k Roboámovi.
2 But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
Tedy stala se řeč Hospodinova k Semaiášovi, muži Božímu, řkoucí:
3 “Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:
Pověz Roboámovi synu Šalomounovu, králi Judskému, a všemu lidu Izraelskému, kterýž jest v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově, řka:
4 ‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
Takto praví Hospodin: Netáhněte a nebojujte proti bratřím svým, navraťte se jeden každý do domu svého; nebo ode mne stala se věc tato. I uposlechli rozkazu Hospodinova, a navrátili se, aby netáhli proti Jeroboámovi.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
I bydlil Roboám v Jeruzalémě, a vzdělal města hrazená v Judstvu.
6 In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
A vzdělal Betlém, Etam. a Tekoe,
7 Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
Betsur, Socho a Adulam,
8 Gath, Mareshah,
Gát, Maresa a Zif,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Adoraim, Lachis a Azeka,
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
Zaraha, Aialon a Hebron, kteráž byla v pokolení Judově a Beniaminově města hrazená.
11 He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
A když upevnil města hrazená, osadil v nich knížata, a zdělal špižírny k potravám, k oleji a vínu.
12 He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
A v jednom každém městě složil štíty a kopí, a opatřil ta města velmi dobře, a tak kraloval nad Judou a Beniaminem.
13 The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
Kněží také a Levítové, kteříž byli ve všem Izraeli, postavili se k němu ze všech končin svých.
14 The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
Opustili byli zajisté Levítové předměstí svá i vládařství svá, a odebrali se do Judstva a do Jeruzaléma, (proto, že je zavrhl Jeroboám a synové jeho, aby v úřadu kněžském nesloužili Hospodinu.
15 Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
A nařídil sobě kněží k sloužení po výsostech ďáblům a telatům, kterýchž byl nadělal).
16 And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
A za nimi ze všech pokolení Izraelských ti, kteříž oddali srdce své k hledání Hospodina Boha Izraelského, přišli do Jeruzaléma, aby obětovali Hospodinu Bohu otců svých.
17 They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
A tak utvrdili království Judské, a zsilili Roboáma syna Šalomounova za tři léta, a po ta tři léta chodili po cestě Davidově a Šalomounově.
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
Potom pojal sobě Roboám ženu, Mahalat, dceru Jerimota syna Davidova, a Abichail, dceru Eliaba syna Izai.
19 Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Kteráž mu zplodila syny: Jeusa a Semariáše a Zahama.
20 Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
A po té pojal Maachu dceru Absolonovu, kteráž mu porodila Abiáše, Attaie, Zizu a Selomita.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
Ale miloval Roboám Maachu dceru Absolonovu, nade všecky ženy i ženiny své; nebo byl pojal žen osmnáct, a ženin šedesát, a zplodil dvadceti a osm synů a šedesáte dcer.
22 Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next king.
Ustanovil pak Roboám Abiáše syna Maachy za kníže a vývodu mezi bratřími jeho; nebo myslil ho ustanoviti králem.
23 He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
A opatrnosti užívaje, rozsadil všecky jiné syny své po všech krajích Judových a Beniaminových, ve všech městech ohrazených, i dal jim potravy hojně, a nabral jim mnoho žen.
