2 Chronicles 10
1 Forsothe Roboam yede forth in to Sichem; for al Israel came togidere thidur to make hym kyng.
Profectus est autem Roboam in Sichem: illuc enim cunctus Israel convenerat ut constituerent eum regem.
2 And whanne Jeroboam, the sone of Nabath, that was in Egipt, `for he fledde thidur bifor Salomon, hadde herd this, he turnyde ayen anoon.
Quod cum audisset Ieroboam filius Nabat, qui erat in Ægypto (fugerat quippe illuc ante Salomonem) statim reversus est.
3 And thei clepiden hym, and he cam with al Israel, and thei spaken to Roboam, and seiden,
Vocaveruntque eum, et venit cum universo Israel, et locuti sunt ad Roboam, dicentes:
4 Thi fadir oppresside vs with ful hard yok; comaunde thou liytere thingis than thi fader, that settide on vs a greuouse seruage; and releese thou a litil of `the birthun, that we serue thee. And he seide,
Pater tuus durissimo iugo nos pressit, tu leviora impera patre tuo, qui nobis imposuit gravem servitutem, et paululum de onere subleva, ut serviamus tibi.
5 After thre daies turne ye ayen to me. And whanne the puple was goon, he took counsel with elde men,
Qui ait: Post tres dies revertimini ad me. Cumque abiisset populus,
6 that stoden bifor his fadir Salomon, while he lyuyde yit, and seide, What counsel yyuen ye, that Y answere to the puple?
iniit consilium cum senibus, qui steterant coram patre eius Salomone dum adhuc viveret, dicens: Quid datis consilii ut respondeam populo?
7 And thei seiden to hym, If thou plesist this puple, and makist hem softe bi meke wordis, thei schulen serue thee in al tyme.
Qui dixerunt ei: Si placueris populo huic, et leniveris eos verbis clementibus, servient tibi omni tempore.
8 And he forsook the counsel of elde men, and bigan to trete with yonge men, that weren nurischid with hym, and weren in his cumpenye.
At ille reliquit consilium senum, et cum iuvenibus tractare cœpit, qui cum eo nutriti fuerant, et erant in comitatu illius.
9 And he seide to hem, What semeth to you? ether what owe Y answere to this puple, that seide to me, Releese thou the yok, which thi fadir puttide on vs?
Dixitque ad eos: Quid vobis videtur? Vel respondere quid debeo populo huic, qui dixit mihi: Subleva iugum quod imposuit nobis pater tuus?
10 And thei answeriden, as yonge men and nurschyd with hym in delicis, and seiden, Thus thou schalt speke to the puple that seide to thee, Thi fadir made greuouse oure yok, releese thou; and thus thou schalt answere to hem, My leeste fyngur is gretter than the leendis of my fader;
At illi responderunt ut iuvenes, et nutriti cum eo in deliciis, atque dixerunt: Sic loqueris populo, qui dixit tibi: Pater tuus aggravavit iugum nostrum, tu subleva: et sic respondebis ei: Minimus digitus meus grossior est lumbis patris mei.
11 my fadir puttide on you a greuouse yok, and Y schal leie to a gretter birthun; my fadir beet you with scourgis, forsothe Y schal bete you with `scorpiouns, that is, hard knottid roopis.
Pater meus imposuit vobis grave iugum, et ego maius pondus apponam: pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero cædam vos scorpionibus.
12 Therfor Jeroboam and al the puple cam to Roboam in the thridde dai, as he hadde comaundid to hem.
Venit ergo Ieroboam, et universus populus ad Roboam die tertio, sicut præceperat eis.
13 And `the kyng answeride harde thingis, after that he hadde forsake the counsel of the eldere men,
Responditque rex dura, derelicto consilio seniorum:
14 and he spak bi the wille of the yonge men, My fadir puttide on you a greuouse yok, which Y schal make greuousere; my fadir beet you with scourgis, sotheli Y schal bete you with scorpiouns.
locutusque est iuxta iuvenum voluntatem: Pater meus grave vobis imposuit iugum, quod ego gravius faciam: pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero cædam vos scorpionibus.
15 And he assentide not to the preieris of the puple; for it was the wille of God, that his word schulde be fillid, which he hadde spoke bi the hond of Ahie of Silo to Jeroboam, sone of Nabath.
Et non acquievit populi precibus: erat enim voluntatis Dei ut compleretur sermo eius, quem locutus fuerat per manum Ahiæ Silonitis ad Ieroboam filium Nabat.
16 Sotheli whanne the kyng seide hardere thingis, al the puple spak thus to hym, No part is to vs in Dauid, nether eritage in the sone of Isai; Israel, turne thou ayen in to thi tabernaclis, sotheli thou, Dauid, feede thin hows. And Israel yede in to hise tabernaclis.
Populus autem universus rege duriora dicente, sic locutus est ad eum: Non est nobis pars in David, neque hereditas in filio Isai. Revertere in tabernacula tua Israel, tu autem pasce domum tuam David. Et abiit Israel in tabernacula sua.
17 Forsothe Roboam regnede on the sones of Israel, that dwelliden in the citees of Juda.
Super filios autem Israel, qui habitabant in civitatibus Iuda, regnavit Roboam.
18 And kyng Roboam sente Adhuram, that was souereyn ouer the tributis; and the sones of Israel stonyden hym, and he was deed. Certis kyng Roboam hastide to stie in to the chare, and fledde in to Jerusalem.
Misitque rex Roboam Aduram, qui præerat tributis, et lapidaverunt eum filii Israel, et mortuus est: porro rex Roboam currum festinavit ascendere, et fugit in Ierusalem.
19 And Israel yede awei fro the hows of Dauid `til to this dai. Forsothe it was doon, whanne al Israel hadde herd, that Jeroboam turnede ayen, thei senten, and clepiden hym, whanne the cumpeny was gaderid, and thei ordeyneden him king on al Israel; and no man, outakun the lynage of Juda aloone, suede `the hows of Dauid.
Recessitque Israel a domo David, usque ad diem hanc.
