Вторая книга Паралипоменон 11
1 Прииде же Ровоам во Иерусалим, и созва (весь) дом Иудин и Вениаминь, сто осмьдесят тысящ избранных юношей творящих брань, и воеваше противу Израиля и Иеровоама, да обратит к себе царство.
And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him.
2 И бысть слово Господне к Самею человеку Божию, глаголя:
And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
3 глаголи к Ровоаму сыну Соломоню, царю Иудину, и ко всему Израилю, иже есть во Иуде и Вениамине:
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin:
4 сия рече Господь: не восходите, ниже ополчайтеся противу братии вашея: возвратитеся кийждо в дом свой, зане от Мене бысть глаголгол сей. И послушаша слова Господня, и возвратишася, и не поидоша противу Иеровоама.
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam,
5 Обита же Ровоам во Иерусалиме и созда грады стенаты во Иудеи:
And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.
6 сострои же Вифлеем и Етам, и Фекуе
And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,
7 и Вефсур, и Сокхоф и Одоллам,
And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,
8 и Геф и Марисан, и Зиф
And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
9 и Адурем, и Лахис и Азику,
And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,
10 и Салаю и Елон и Хеврон, иже есть Иудин и Вениаминь, грады крепкия:
Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.
11 и укрепи их стенами, и постави в них началники, житохранилища, и елей и вино,
And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine.
12 во всяцем граде щиты и копия, и укрепи их во множестве зело, и быста под ним Иуда и Вениамин.
Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin,
13 Священницы же и левиты, иже бяху во всем Израили, собрашася к нему от всех предел:
And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,
14 яко оставиша левити селения одержания своего и поидоша ко Иуде во Иерусалим, понеже изгна их Иеровоам и сынове его, еже не служити Господеви:
Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord.
15 и постави себе жерцы на высоких, и идолом, и суетным, и телцем, ихже сотвори Иеровоам.
And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 И изгна их от всех колен Израилевых, иже вдаша сердце свое, да взыщут Господа Бога Израилева: и приидоша во Иерусалим пожрети Господу Богу отец своих:
Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before the Lord the God of their fathers.
17 и укрепиша царство Иудино. И укрепися Ровоам сын Соломонь в три лета, хождаше бо по путем Давида и Соломона отца своего лета три.
And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years.
18 И взя себе Ровоам жену Моолафу, дщерь Иеримофа сына Давидова, и Авигею дщерь Елиава сына Иессеова.
And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.
19 И роди ему сыны: Иеуса и Самориа и Заама.
And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
20 По сих же поя себе Мааху дщерь Авессаломлю, и роди ему Авию и Иеффиа, и Зизу и Салимофа.
And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
21 И возлюби Ровоам Мааху дщерь Авессаломлю паче всех жен своих и подложниц своих, яко жен осмьнадесять име и подложниц шестьдесят: и роди двадесять осмь сынов и шестьдесят дщерей.
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters.
22 И постави в началника Ровоам Авию сына Маахина и князем над всею братиею его, того бо и царем сотворити помышляше.
But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king,
23 И возрасте паче всех братий своих во всех пределех Иудиных и Вениаминих и во градех крепких, и даде им пищи множество много, и многих взыска жен.
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives.
