2 Dnevnika 11
1 A kad doðe Rovoam u Jerusalim, sazva dom Judin i Venijaminov, sto i osamdeset tisuæa odabranijeh vojnika, da zavojšte na Izrailja da povrate carstvo Rovoamu.
And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, —to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2 Ali doðe rijeè Gospodnja Semaji èovjeku Božijemu govoreæi:
Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
3 Kaži Rovoamu sinu Solomunovu caru Judinu i svijem sinovima Izrailjevijem od Jude i Venijamina, i reci:
Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, —and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying:
4 Ovako veli Gospod: ne idite i ne bijte se s braæom svojom, vratite se svak svojoj kuæi, jer sam ja naredio tako da bude. I oni poslušaše rijeè Gospodnju i vratiše se i ne idoše na Jerovoama.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
5 I Rovoam sjede u Jerusalimu, i sazida tvrde gradove u zemlji Judinoj;
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, —and built cities for defence, in Judah;
6 Sazida Vitlejem i Itam i Tekuju,
yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa;
7 I Vet-Sur i Sohot i Odolam,
and Beth-zur and Soco, and Adullam;
8 I Gat i Marisu i Zif,
and Gath and Mareshah, and Ziph;
9 I Adoraim i Lahis i Aziku,
and Adoraim and Lachish, and Azekah;
10 I Saraju i Ejalon i Hevron, koji su u zemlji Judinoj i Venijaminovoj tvrdi gradovi.
and Zorah, and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, —as fortified cities.
11 A kad utvrdi te gradove, namjesti u njima zapovjednike, i staje za žito i za ulje i za vino,
And he strengthened the fortified places, —and put therein captains, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
12 I u svakom gradu štitova i kopalja, i utvrdi ih jako. Tako njegov bijaše Juda i Venijamin.
and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong, —thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
13 I sveštenici i Leviti, koji bijahu po svemu Izrailju, sabraše se k njemu iz svijeh krajeva svojih.
And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries.
14 Jer ostaviše Leviti podgraða svoja i dostojanja svoja, i otidoše u Judejsku i u Jerusalim, jer ih otjera Jerovoam i sinovi njegovi da ne vrše službe sveštenièke Gospodu.
For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem, —for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh;
15 I postavi sebi sveštenike za visine i za ðavole i za teoce, koje naèini.
and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons—and for the calves which he had made.
16 A za njima iz svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh koji upraviše srce svoje da traže Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, doðoše u Jerusalim da prinesu žrtvu Gospodu Bogu otaca svojih.
And, after them—out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.
17 I tako utvrdiše carstvo Judino, i ukrijepiše Rovoama sina Solomunova za tri godine, jer za te tri godine hoðahu putem Davidovijem i Solomunovijem.
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, —for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years.
18 A Rovoam se oženi Maeletom kæerju Jerimota sina Davidova i Avihailom kæerju Esijava sina Jesejeva,
And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, —and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse;
19 Koja mu rodi sinove: Jeusa i Samariju i Zama.
and she bare him sons, —Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.
20 A poslije nje oženi se Mahom kæerju Avesalomovom, koja mu rodi Aviju i Ataja i Zivu i Selomita.
And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom, —and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 A ljubljaše Rovoam Mahu kæer Avesalomovu veæma od svijeh žena svojih i inoèa svojih; jer imaše osamnaest žena i šezdeset inoèa, i rodi dvadeset i osam sinova i šezdeset kæeri.
And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines, —and begat twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
22 I Rovoam postavi Aviju sina Mašina poglavarom i knezom nad braæom njegovom, jer ga šæaše postaviti carem.
So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren, —yea that he might make him king.
23 I mudro radeæi rasturi sve sinove svoje po svijem krajevima Judinijem i Venijaminovijem, po svijem tvrdijem gradovima, i dade im hrane izobila, i dovede im mnogo žena.
So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance, —and asked a multitude of wives.
