Вторая книга Паралипоменон 12
1 И бысть егда устроися царство Ровоамово, и укрепися, остави заповеди Господни, и весь Израиль с ним.
After Rehoboam was in complete control of his kingdom, he and all [the other people in] Judah stopped obeying the laws of Yahweh.
2 И бысть в лето пятое царства Ровоамля взыде Сусаким царь Египетский на Иерусалим, зане согрешиша пред Господем,
As a result, after Rehoboam had been king for almost five years, Yahweh sent Shishak, the king of Egypt, [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
3 с тысящию и двема сты колесниц и шестьдесят тысящ конник, и не бе числа народу пришедшему с ним от Египта, Ливиане, Троглодитяне и Ефиопляне:
Along with his army he brought 1,200 chariots and 60,000 soldiers riding horses and a very large number of troops from two regions in Libya, and from Ethiopia.
4 и взяша грады крепкия, иже бяху во Иуде, и приидоша даже до Иерусалима.
They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Самеа же пророк вниде к Ровоаму и к началником Иудиным, иже собрани бяху во Иерусалим от лица Сусакимова, и рече к ним: сия рече Господь: вы остависте Мя, и Аз оставлю вас в руку Сусакима.
Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and the other leaders of Judah who had gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid of [the army of] Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “Yahweh says this: ‘You have abandoned me; so now I am abandoning you, to [allow you to be captured by the army of] Shishak.’”
6 И посрамишася началницы Израилевы и царь и рекоша: праведен Господь.
Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
7 Егда же виде Господь, яко смиришася, и бысть слово Господне к Самею, глаголя: смиришася, не разорю их, и дам им вмале спасение, и не уканет ярость Моя на Иерусалим,
When Yahweh realized that they had humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not allow them to be destroyed. Instead, I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak’s army to completely destroy the people of Jerusalem,
8 обаче будут в рабы, да познают работу Мою и работу царства земли.
but they will conquer Jerusalem and force the people there to do what Shishak wants them to do. As a result, the people of Jerusalem will learn [that it is better] to serve me than to serve the kings of other countries.”
9 И взыде Сусаким царь Египетский во Иерусалим, и взя сокровища, яже в дому Господни, и сокровища, яже в дому цареве, вся взя: и взя щиты златыя, ихже сотвори Соломон.
When Shishak’s [army] attacked Jerusalem, they took/carried away the valuable things that were in the temple of Yahweh and the valuable things that were in the king’s palace. They took everything [that was valuable], including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
10 И сотвори царь Ровоам щиты медяны вместо их. И постави на ним Сусаким царь Египетский началников предходящих стрегущих врата царева:
So King Rehoboam’s workers made bronze shields to be used instead of the gold ones and gave the bronze shields to the commanders of the men who guarded the entrance to his palace.
11 и бысть внегда входити царю в дом Господень, вхождаху стрегущии и предходящии, и обращающеся восхождаху предходящии ко оружехранителнице своей.
After that, whenever the king went to the temple, the guards went with him, carrying those bronze shields. Then [when the king left, ] they would return the shields to the guards’ room.
12 И егда смирися той, отвратися от него ярость Господня, а не в разорение в конец: ибо и во Иуде бяху словеса блага.
Because Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh stopped being angry with him and did not get rid of him. Instead, he caused good things to happen in Judah.
13 И укрепися царь Ровоам во Иерусалиме и царствова: четыредесяти же и единаго лета бысть Ровоам, егда царствовати нача, и седмьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме, во граде, егоже избра Господь, да именуется имя Его ту от всех колен Израилевых. Имя же матери его Ноома Амманитыня.
King Rehoboam again was in complete control in Jerusalem and continued to be the king [of Judah]. He was 41 years old when he became the king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes in Israel to be the place in which people were to worship him.
14 И сотвори лукавое, яко не исправи сердца своего, да взыщет Господа.
Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah. She was from the Ammon people-group. Rehoboam did evil things because he did not try to find out what Yahweh wanted him to do.
15 Словеса же Ровоамова первая и последняя не се ли, суть писана в словесех Самеа пророка и Адда провидящаго, и деяния его? И воеваше Ровоам и Иеровоам во вся дни.
An account of all the things that Rehoboam did while he was the king, and lists of the members of his family, are in the scrolls written by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo. The armies of Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly fighting each other.
16 И умре Ровоам и погребен бысть со отцы своими во граде Давидове. И воцарися Авиа сын его вместо его.
When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
