1 Kings 12
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Tada otide Rovoam u Sihem: jer se ondje skupi sav Izrailj da ga zacare.
2 When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt;
A Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji još bijaše u Misiru pobjegavši onamo od cara Solomuna, kad èu, on još osta u Misiru.
3 and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Ali poslaše i dozvaše ga. Tako Jerovoam i sav zbor Izrailjev doðoše i rekoše Rovoamu govoreæi:
4 “Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
Tvoj je otac metnuo na nas težak jaram; nego ti sada olakšaj ljutu službu oca svojega i teški jaram koji je metnuo na nas, pak æemo ti služiti.
5 He said to them, “Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.
A on im reèe: idite, pa do tri dana doðite opet k meni. I narod otide.
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”
Tada car Rovoam uèini vijeæe sa starcima koji stajaše pred Solomunom ocem njegovijem dok bijaše živ, i reèe: kako svjetujete da odgovorim narodu?
7 They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”
A oni mu odgovoriše govoreæi: ako danas ugodiš narodu i poslušaš ih i odgovoriš im lijepijem rijeèima, oni æe ti biti sluge svagda.
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
Ali on ostavi svjet što ga svjetovaše starci, i uèini vijeæe s mladiæima, koji odrastoše s njim i koji stajahu pred njim.
9 He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
I reèe im: šta vi svjetujete da odgovorimo narodu, koji mi rekoše govoreæi: olakšaj jaram koji je metnuo na nas tvoj otac?
10 The young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Tell these people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us’—tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
Tada mu odgovoriše mladiæi koji odrastoše s njim, i rekoše: ovako kaži narodu što ti reèe: tvoj je otac metnuo na nas težak jaram, nego nam ti olakšaj; ovako im reci: moj je mali prst deblji od bedara oca mojega.
11 Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
Otac je moj metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na vaš jaram; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu vas šibati bodljivijem bièevima.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
A treæi dan doðe Jerovoam i sav narod k Rovoamu, kako im bješe kazao car rekavši: doðite opet k meni do tri dana.
13 The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
I car odgovori oštro narodu ostavivši svjet što ga svjetovaše starci;
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
I reèe im kako ga svjetovaše mladiæi govoreæi: moj je otac metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na jaram vaš; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu vas šibati bodljivijem bièevima.
15 So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
I car ogluši se naroda, jer Gospod bješe tako uredio da bi potvrdio rijeè svoju što je rekao preko Ahije Silomljanina Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu.
16 When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.
A kad vidje sav Izrailj gdje ih se car ogluši, odgovori narod caru govoreæi: kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? nemamo našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem. U šatore svoje, Izrailju! a ti Davide, sad gledaj svoju kuæu. Tako otide Izrailj u šatore svoje.
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Samo nad sinovima Izrailjevijem, koji življahu po gradovima Judinijem, zacari se Rovoam.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
I car Rovoam posla Adorama koji bijaše nad dankom; ali ga sav Izrailj zasu kamenjem, te pogibe; a car Rovoam brže sjede na kola, te pobježe u Jerusalim.
19 So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
Tako otpade Izrailj od doma Davidova do današnjega dana.
20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.
I kad èu sav Izrailj da se vratio Jerovoam, poslavši dozvaše ga na skupštinu, i postaviše ga carem nad svijem Izrailjem. Ne prista za domom Davidovijem nijedno pleme osim samoga plemena Judina.
21 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
A Rovoam došav u Jerusalim sazva sav dom Judin i pleme Venijaminovo, sto i osamdeset tisuæa odabranijeh vojnika, da zavojšte na dom Izrailjev da povrate carstvo Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu.
22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Ali doðe rijeè Božja Semeju, èovjeku Božijemu, govoreæi:
23 “Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
Kaži Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu caru Judinu i svemu domu Judinu i Venijaminovu i ostalome narodu, i reci:
24 ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s word, and returned and went their way, according to Yahweh’s word.
Ovako veli Gospod: ne idite, i ne bijte se s braæom svojom, sinovima Izrailjevijem; vratite se svak svojoj kuæi, jer sam ja naredio tako da bude. I oni poslušaše rijeè Gospodnju i vrativši se otidoše kako Gospod reèe.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel.
Potom sazida Jerovoam Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i naseli se u njemu; a poslije otide odande i sazida Fanuil.
26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will return to David’s house.
I reèe Jerovoam u srcu svom: može se carstvo povratiti domu Davidovu.
27 If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
Ako ovaj narod stane iæi u Jerusalim da prinosi žrtve u domu Gospodnjem, srce æe se narodu obratiti ka gospodaru njegovu Rovoamu caru Judinu, te æe me ubiti, i povratiæe se k Rovoamu caru Judinu.
28 So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Look and behold your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
Zato car smisli, te naèini dva teleta od zlata, pa reèe narodu: ne treba više da idete u Jerusalim; evo bogova tvojih, Izrailju, koji su te izveli iz zemlje Misirske.
29 He set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
I namjesti jedno u Vetilju a drugo namjesti u Danu.
30 This thing became a sin, for the people went even as far as Dan to worship before the one there.
I to bi na grijeh, jer narod iðaše k jednome do Dana.
31 He made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
I naèini kuæu na visini, i postavi sveštenike od prostoga naroda koji ne bijahu od sinova Levijevih.
32 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar. He did so in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
I uèini Jerovoam praznik osmoga mjeseca petnaestoga dana, kao što je praznik u zemlji Judinoj, i prinese žrtve na oltaru; tako uèini i u Vetilju prinoseæi žrtve teocima koje naèini; i postavi u Vetilju sveštenike visinama koje naèini.
33 He went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
I petnaestoga dana osmoga mjeseca, koji bješe smislio u srcu svom, prinošaše žrtve na oltaru koji naèini u Vetilju, i praznovaše praznik sa sinovima Izrailjevijem, i pristupi k oltaru da kadi.
