1 Kraljevima 12

1 Tada otide Rovoam u Sihem: jer se ondje skupi sav Izrailj da ga zacare.

And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come to make him king.

2 A Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji još bijaše u Misiru pobjegavši onamo od cara Solomuna, kad èu, on još osta u Misiru.

And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of it—he being yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt;

3 Ali poslaše i dozvaše ga. Tako Jerovoam i sav zbor Izrailjev doðoše i rekoše Rovoamu govoreæi:

yes they sent, and called him, and Jeroboam and all the convocation of Israel came, —and spake unto Rehoboam, saying:

4 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.

Thy father, made our yoke, grievous, —now, therefore do, thou, lighten the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, that we may serve thee.

5 A on im reèe: idite, pa do tri dana doðite opet k meni. I narod otide.

And he said unto them—Depart ye for yet three days, and then come again unto me. And the people departed.

6 Tada car Rovoam uèini vijeæe sa starcima koji stajaše pred Solomunom ocem njegovijem dok bijaše živ, i reèe: kako svjetujete da odgovorim narodu?

Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who used to stand before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, advise, that I answer this people?

7 A oni mu odgovoriše govoreæi: ako danas ugodiš narodu i poslušaš ih i odgovoriš im lijepijem rijeèima, oni æe ti biti sluge svagda.

And they spake unto him, saying—If, to-day, thou wilt be servant unto this people, and wilt serve them, —and answer them kindly, and speak unto them good words, then will they be, thy, servants, always.

8 Ali on ostavi svjet što ga svjetovaše starci, i uèini vijeæe s mladiæima, koji odrastoše s njim i koji stajahu pred njim.

But he declined the counsel of the elders which they gave him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, who were standing before himself;

9 I reèe im: šta vi svjetujete da odgovorimo narodu, koji mi rekoše govoreæi: olakšaj jaram koji je metnuo na nas tvoj otac?

and said unto them—What counsel do, ye, give as to how we shall answer this people who have spoken unto me, saying—Make a lightening of the yoke which thy father put upon us?

10 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.

Then spake unto him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou say to this people that have spoken unto thee, saying—Thy father, made our yoke heavy, thou, therefore lighten it upon us, Thus, shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger, is thicker than my father’s loins;

11 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.

Now, therefore, whereas, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, did chastise you with whips, but, I, will chastise you with scorpions.

12 A treæi dan doðe Jerovoam i sav narod k Rovoamu, kako im bješe kazao car rekavši: doðite opet k meni do tri dana.

So Jeroboam and all the people came in unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king had bidden, saying—Come again unto me, on the third day.

13 I car odgovori oštro narodu ostavivši svjet što ga svjetovaše starci;

And the king answered the people, harshly, —and declined the counsel of the elders wherewith they had counselled him;

14 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.

and spake unto them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add unto your yoke, —My father, chastised you, with whips, but, I, will chastise you, with scorpions.

15 I car ogluši se naroda, jer Gospod bješe tako uredio da bi potvrdio rijeè svoju što je rekao preko Ahije Silomljanina Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu.

Thus the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come about a turn from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.

16 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.

So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in, David. Or inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your homes O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And Israel departed to their homes.

17 Samo nad sinovima Izrailjevijem, koji življahu po gradovima Judinijem, zacari se Rovoam.

But, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

18 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.

Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram who was over the tribute, but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died, —King Rehoboam, therefore, hastily mounted his chariot, to flee unto Jerusalem.

19 Tako otpade Izrailj od doma Davidova do današnjega dana.

So Israel rebelled against the house of David, —unto this day.

20 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.

And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him into the assembly, and made him king over all Israel, —there were none that followed the house of David, saving the tribe of Judah only.

21 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.

And, when Rehoboam entered Jerusalem, he called together all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, able to make war, —to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam, son of Solomon.

22 Ali doðe rijeè Božja Semeju, èovjeku Božijemu, govoreæi:

Then came the word of God unto Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:

23 Kaži Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu caru Judinu i svemu domu Judinu i Venijaminovu i ostalome narodu, i reci:

Speak unto Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah, and Benjamin, —and the remnant of the people, saying:

24 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.

Thus, saith Yahweh—Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel, —return ye every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the word of Yahweh, and turned back to depart, according to the word of Yahweh.

25 Potom sazida Jerovoam Sihem u gori Jefremovoj i naseli se u njemu; a poslije otide odande i sazida Fanuil.

Then Jeroboam built Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein, —and went forth from thence, and built Penuel.

26 I reèe Jerovoam u srcu svom: može se carstvo povratiti domu Davidovu.

And Jeroboam said in his heart, —Now, shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

27 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.

If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people return unto their lord, unto Rehoboam, king of Judah, —and they will slay me, and return unto Rehoboam, king of Judah.

28 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.

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, —and said unto them—It is, too much for you, to go up to Jerusalem, Lo! thy gods, O Israel, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt;

29 I namjesti jedno u Vetilju a drugo namjesti u Danu.

And he set the one in Bethel, —and, the other, put he in Dan.

30 I to bi na grijeh, jer narod iðaše k jednome do Dana.

And this thing became a sin, —and the people went before the one, as far as Dan.

31 I naèini kuæu na visini, i postavi sveštenike od prostoga naroda koji ne bijahu od sinova Levijevih.

And he made a house of high-places, —and made priests from the whole compass of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

32 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.

And Jeroboam made a festival in the eight month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival which [was held] in Judah, and offered up on the altar, likewise, did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made, —and he kept in attendance in Bethel, the priests of the high-places which he had made.

33 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.

And he offered up on the altar which he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month which he had devised out of his own heart, —thus made he a festival for the sons of Israel, and offered up on the altar, to make a perfume.
