2 Dnevnika 12

1 A kad Rovoam utvrdi carstvo i kad osili, ostavi zakon Gospodnji i sav Izrailj s njim.

And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

2 A pete godine carovanja Rovoamova doðe Sisak car Misirski na Jerusalim, jer zgriješiše Gospodu,

And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

3 S tisuæu i dvije stotine kola i sa šezdeset tisuæa konjika, i ne bješe broja narodu koji doðe s njim iz Misira, Luvejima, Suhejima i Husejima.

With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites.

4 I uze tvrde gradove Judine i doðe do Jerusalima.

And he took the fortified cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Tada doðe Semaja prorok k Rovoamu i knezovima Judinijem, koji se bijahu skupili u Jerusalim od Sisaka, i reèe im: ovako veli Gospod: vi ostaviste mene, zato i ja ostavljam vas u ruke Sisaku.

Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah, that were assembled at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

6 Tada se poniziše knezovi Izrailjevi i car i rekoše: pravedan je Gospod.

Upon which the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.

7 A kad ih vidje Gospod gdje se poniziše, doðe rijeè Gospodnja Semaji govoreæi: poniziše se, neæu ih potrti, nego æu im sada dati izbavljenje, i neæe se izliti jarost moja na Jerusalim preko Sisaka.

And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Nego æe mu biti sluge da poznadu šta je meni služiti, šta li služiti carstvima zemaljskim.

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

9 I tako doðe Sisak car Misirski u Jerusalim i uze blago doma Gospodnjega i blago doma careva, sve to uze; uze i štitove zlatne, koje bješe naèinio Solomun;

So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 I na njihovo mjesto naèini car Rovoam štitove od mjedi, i predade ih starješinama nad stražarima koji èuvahu vrata doma careva.

Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

11 I kad iðaše car u dom Gospodnji dolažahu stražari i nošahu ih, a poslije ih opet ostavljahu u riznicu stražarsku.

And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard-chamber.

12 Što se dakle ponizi, odvrati se od njega gnjev Gospodnji, i ne zatr ga sasvijem; jer još u Judi bješe dobra.

And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

13 I utvrdi se car Rovoam u Jerusalimu, i carova; jer bijaše Rovoamu èetrdeset i jedna godina kad se zacari, i sedamnaest godina carova u Jerusalimu gradu, koji izabra Gospod izmeðu svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh da ondje namjesti ime svoje. A materi njegovoj bješe ime Nama, Amonka.

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.

14 Ali on èinjaše zlo, jer ne upravi srca svojega da traži Gospoda.

And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

15 Ali djela Rovoamova prva i pošljednja nijesu li zapisana u knjizi proroka Semaje i vidioca Ida, gdje se kazuju koljena a i ratovi koji bijahu jednako meðu Rovoamom i Jerovoamom?

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogies? And [there were] wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 I poèinu Rovoam kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben u gradu Davidovu; a na njegovo se mjesto zacari Avija sin njegov.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
