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 kad èu Jerovoam sin Navatov, koji bijaše u Misiru pobjegav onamo od cara Solomuna, vrati se Jerovoam iz Misira.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat, who was in Egypt-whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king—heard of it, then returned Jeroboam out of Egypt.
3 Jer poslaše, te ga dozvaše; i doðe Jerovoam i sav Izrailj i rekoše Rovoamu govoreæi:
And they sent, and called him, so Jeroboam and all 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, pa æemo ti služiti.
Thy father, made our yoke oppressive, —now, therefore, lighten thou somewhat the oppressive servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 A on im reèe: do tri dana doðite opet k meni. I narod otide.
And he said unto them, Yet three days, and then return 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 took counsel with the old men who had been standing before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, counsel to return answer unto this people?
7 A oni mu odgovoriše govoreæi: ako se udobriš narodu i ugodiš im i odgovoriš im lijepim rijeèima, oni æe ti biti sluge svagda.
And they spake unto him saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak unto them kind words, then will they be thy servants, all the days.
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 old men, which they gave him, —and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing before him.
9 I reèe im: šta vi svjetujete da odgovorimo narodu koji mi rekoše govoreæi: olakšaj jaram koji je metnuo na nas tvoj otac.
And he said unto them, What do, ye, counsel that we should return as answer, unto this people, —who have spoken unto me saying, Lighten thou somewhat 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: otac je tvoj metnuo na nas težak jaram, nego nam ti olakšaj; ovako im reci: moj mali prst deblji je od bedara oca mojega.
Then spake with him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou speak unto the people who have spoken unto thee saying, Thy father, made our yoke heavy, Thou, therefore, lighten somewhat our yoke, —Thus, shalt thou say 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, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, but, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, chastised you with whips, but, I, with scorpions,
12 A treæi dan doðe Jerovoam i sav narod k Rovoamu kako im bješe kazao car rekav: doðite opet k meni do tri dana.
So Jeroboam and all the people came unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king spake, saying, Return unto me on the third day.
13 I car im odgovori oštro, jer ostavi car Rovoam svjet staraèki,
And the king answered them harshly, —and King Rehoboam declined the counsel of the old men;
14 I odgovori im kako ga svjetovaše mladiæi, govoreæi: moj je otac metnuo na vas težak jaram, a ja æu još dometnuti na nj; otac vas je moj šibao bièevima, a ja æu bodljivijem bièevima.
and spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto, —My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, with scorpions.
15 I car se ogluši naroda, jer Bog bješe tako uredio da bi potvrdio Gospod rijeè svoju što je rekao preko Ahije Silomljanina Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu.
So the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
16 A kad vidje sav Izrailj da ih se car ogluši, odgovori narod caru govoreæi: kakav dio mi imamo s Davidom? nemamo našljedstva sa sinom Jesejevijem. Svak u svoj šator, Izrailju! A ti, Davide, sad gledaj svoju kuæu. Tako otide sav Izrailj u šatore svoje.
And, 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? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all 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 sinovi Izrailjevi zasuše kamenjem, te pogibe. Tada car Rovoam brže sjede na kola, te pobježe u Jerusalim.
Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the tribute, and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So, King Rehoboam, hasted to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Tako otpade Izrailj od doma Davidova do današnjega dana.
Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David—unto this day.
