Вторая книга Паралипоменон 10
1 И прииде Ровоам в Сихем, зане в Сихем весь Израиль снидеся поставити его царем.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king.
2 И бысть егда услыша Иеровоам сын Наватов, иже бе во Египте, яко убеже от лица Соломона царя, и обита Иеровоам во Египте, и возвратися Иеровоам от Египта.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
3 И послаша и призваша его. И прииде Иеровоам и все собрание Израилево ко царю Ровоаму, глаголюще:
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 отец твой ожесточи иго наше, ты же ныне ослаби от работы отца твоего жестокия и от ига его тяжкаго, еже возложи на нас, и послужим тебе.
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 И рече им: поидите даже до триех дний и приидите ко мне. И отидоша людие.
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
6 И собра царь Ровоам старейшины, иже стояху пред Соломон отцем его, егда еще живяше, глаголя: каков вы даете совет отвещати людем сим?
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 И реша ему: аще днесь будеши во благое людем сим, и благоугодиши, и речеши им словеса благая, то послужат тебе во вся дни.
And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 И остави совет старейшин, егоже совещаша ему: и советоваше со юношами, иже с ним воспитани бяху и стояху пред ним,
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 и рече к ним: что вы собетуете, да отвещаю людем сим, иже реша мне, глаголюще: облегчи иго, еже наложи на ны отец твой?
And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father put upon us?
10 И отвещаша ему отроцы воспитаннии с ним, глаголюще: тако речеши людем, ихже рекоша тебе, глаголюще: отец твой отягчи иго наше, ты же облегчи нам: тако отвещай к ним: менший перст мой толстее есть чресл отца моего:
And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s thighs.
11 отец мой наложи вам тяжкое иго, аз же (тягости) приложу на иго ваше: отец мой бил вас бичми, аз же буду бити вас скорпионами.
For though my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 И прииде Иеровоам и вси людие к Ровоаму в день третий, якоже повеле им царь, глаголя: возвратитеся ко мне в день третий.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king appointed, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 И отвеща царь жестоко, и остави царь Ровоам совет старейшин, и рече к ним по совету юнош, глаголя:
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 отец мой отяготи иго ваше, аз же приложу к нему: отец мой бил вас бичми, аз же бити буду вы скорпионами.
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 И не послуша царь людий, яко бе превращение от Бога, глаголя: возстави Господь слово Свое, еже глагола рукою Ахии Силониты о Иеровоаме сыне Наватове
So the king hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 и о всем Израили, зане не послуша царь их. И отвещаша людие ко царю, глаголюще: кая нам часть в Давиде и наследие в сыне Иессееве? Возвратися в жилища твоя, Израилю, ныне смотри дому твоего, Давиде. И иде весь Израиль в жилища своя.
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Мужие же Израилевы, иже обитаху во градех Иудиных, воцариша над собою Ровоама.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 И посла царь Ровоам к ним Адонирама бывша над даньми, и камением побиша его сынове Израилевы, и умре. И услыша царь Ровоам, и потщася взыти на колесницу, и побеже во Иерусалим.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 И отвержеся Израиль от дому Давидова даже до дне сего.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
