< 2 Chronicles 12 >

1 After Rehoboam was in complete control of his kingdom, he and all [the other people in] Judah stopped obeying the laws of Yahweh.
Когда царство Ровоама утвердилось, и он сделался силен, тогда он оставил закон Господень, и весь Израиль с ним.
2 As a result, after Rehoboam had been king for almost five years, Yahweh sent Shishak, the king of Egypt, [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
На пятом году царствования Ровоама, Сусаким, царь Египетский, пошел на Иерусалим, - потому что они отступили от Господа, -
3 Along with his army he brought 1,200 chariots and 60,000 soldiers riding horses and a very large number of troops from two regions in Libya, and from Ethiopia.
с тысячью и двумястами колесниц и шестьюдесятью тысячами всадников; и не было числа народу, который пришел с ним из Египта, Ливиянам, Сукхитам и Ефиоплянам;
4 They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
и взял укрепленные города в Иудее и пришел к Иерусалиму.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and the other leaders of Judah who had gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid of [the army of] Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “Yahweh says this: ‘You have abandoned me; so now I am abandoning you, to [allow you to be captured by the army of] Shishak.’”
Тогда Самей пророк пришел к Ровоаму и князьям Иудеи, которые собрались в Иерусалим, спасаясь от Сусакима, и сказал им: так говорит Господь: вы оставили Меня, за то и Я оставляю вас в руки Сусакиму.
6 Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
И смирились князья Израилевы и царь и сказали: праведен Господь!
7 When Yahweh realized that they had humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not allow them to be destroyed. Instead, I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak’s army to completely destroy the people of Jerusalem,
Когда увидел Господь, что они смирились, тогда было слово Господне к Самею, и сказано: они смирились; не истреблю их и вскоре дам им избавление, и не прольется гнев Мой на Иерусалим рукою Сусакима;
8 but they will conquer Jerusalem and force the people there to do what Shishak wants them to do. As a result, the people of Jerusalem will learn [that it is better] to serve me than to serve the kings of other countries.”
однакоже они будут слугами его, чтобы знали, каково служить Мне и служить царствам земным.
9 When Shishak’s [army] attacked Jerusalem, they took/carried away the valuable things that were in the temple of Yahweh and the valuable things that were in the king’s palace. They took everything [that was valuable], including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
И пришел Сусаким, царь Египетский, в Иерусалим и взял сокровища дома Господня и сокровища дома царского; все взял он, взял и щиты золотые, которые сделал Соломон.
10 So King Rehoboam’s workers made bronze shields to be used instead of the gold ones and gave the bronze shields to the commanders of the men who guarded the entrance to his palace.
И сделал царь Ровоам, вместо их, щиты медные, и отдал их на руки начальникам телохранителей, охранявших вход дома царского.
11 After that, whenever the king went to the temple, the guards went with him, carrying those bronze shields. Then [when the king left, ] they would return the shields to the guards’ room.
Когда выходил царь в дом Господень, приходили телохранители и несли их, и потом опять относили их в палату телохранителей.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh stopped being angry with him and did not get rid of him. Instead, he caused good things to happen in Judah.
И когда он смирился, тогда отвратился от него гнев Господа и не погубил его до конца; притом и в Иудее было нечто доброе.
13 King Rehoboam again was in complete control in Jerusalem and continued to be the king [of Judah]. He was 41 years old when he became the king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes in Israel to be the place in which people were to worship him.
И утвердился царь Ровоам в Иерусалиме и царствовал. Сорок один год было Ровоаму, когда он воцарился, и семнадцать лет царствовал в Иерусалиме, в городе, который из всех колен Израилевых избрал Господь, чтобы там пребывало имя Его. Имя матери его Наама, Аммонитянка.
14 Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah. She was from the Ammon people-group. Rehoboam did evil things because he did not try to find out what Yahweh wanted him to do.
И делал он зло, потому что не расположил сердца своего к тому, чтобы взыскать Господа.
15 An account of all the things that Rehoboam did while he was the king, and lists of the members of his family, are in the scrolls written by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo. The armies of Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly fighting each other.
Деяния Ровоамовы, первые и последние, описаны в записях Самея пророка и Адды прозорливца при родословиях. И были войны у Ровоама с Иеровоамом во все дни.
16 When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
И почил Ровоам с отцами своими и погребен в городе Давидовом. И воцарился Авия, сын его, вместо него.
