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.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
2 И бысть слово Господне к Самею человеку Божию, глаголя:
But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
3 глаголи к Ровоаму сыну Соломоню, царю Иудину, и ко всему Израилю, иже есть во Иуде и Вениамине:
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah 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.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
5 Обита же Ровоам во Иерусалиме и созда грады стенаты во Иудеи:
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
6 сострои же Вифлеем и Етам, и Фекуе
In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 и Вефсур, и Сокхоф и Одоллам,
Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 и Геф и Марисан, и Зиф
Gath, Mareshah,
9 и Адурем, и Лахис и Азику,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 и Салаю и Елон и Хеврон, иже есть Иудин и Вениаминь, грады крепкия:
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
11 и укрепи их стенами, и постави в них началники, житохранилища, и елей и вино,
He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
12 во всяцем граде щиты и копия, и укрепи их во множестве зело, и быста под ним Иуда и Вениамин.
He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
13 Священницы же и левиты, иже бяху во всем Израили, собрашася к нему от всех предел:
The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
14 яко оставиша левити селения одержания своего и поидоша ко Иуде во Иерусалим, понеже изгна их Иеровоам и сынове его, еже не служити Господеви:
The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
15 и постави себе жерцы на высоких, и идолом, и суетным, и телцем, ихже сотвори Иеровоам.
Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
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:
And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
17 и укрепиша царство Иудино. И укрепися Ровоам сын Соломонь в три лета, хождаше бо по путем Давида и Соломона отца своего лета три.
They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
18 И взя себе Ровоам жену Моолафу, дщерь Иеримофа сына Давидова, и Авигею дщерь Елиава сына Иессеова.
Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
19 И роди ему сыны: Иеуса и Самориа и Заама.
Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 По сих же поя себе Мааху дщерь Авессаломлю, и роди ему Авию и Иеффиа, и Зизу и Салимофа.
Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
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.
Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
22 И постави в началника Ровоам Авию сына Маахина и князем над всею братиею его, того бо и царем сотворити помышляше.
Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next 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.
He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
