1 Kralji 12
1 Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti ves Izrael je prišel v Sihem, da ga postavijo za kralja.
And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.
2 Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil še v Egiptu, slišal o tem (kajti pobegnil je izpred prisotnosti kralja Salomona in je Jerobeám prebival v Egiptu),
3 da so poslali in ga poklicali. Jerobeám in vsa Izraelova skupnost pa je prišla in spregovorila Rehabámu, rekoč:
And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy;
4 »Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil boleč. Sedaj torej olajšaj bolečo službo svojega očeta in njegov težek jarem, ki ga je položil na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
but do you now lighten somewhat of the hard service of your father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 Rekel jim je: »Odidite še za tri dni, potem ponovno pridite k meni.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.
6 Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je še živel in rekel: »Kako svetujete, da lahko odgovorim temu ljudstvu?«
And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do you advise that I should answer this people?
7 Odgovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če hočeš biti ta dan služabnik temu ljudstvu in jim hočeš služiti in jim odgovoriti in jim govoriti dobre besede, potem bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
And they spoke to him, saying, If you will this day be a servant to this people, and will serve them, and will speak to them good words, then will they be your servants continually.
8 Toda zapustil je nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so odrasli z njim in ki so stali pred njim
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.
9 in jim rekel: »Kakšen nasvet dajete vi, da lahko odgovorimo temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Naredi jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil nad nas, lažji?‹«
And he said to them, What counsel do you give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which your father has put upon us?
10 Mladeniči, ki so zrasli z njim, so mu govorili, rekoč: »Tako boš govoril temu ljudstvu, ki ti je govorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor očetova ledja.
And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and do you now lighten it from off us: thus shall say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 Kakor vam je moj oče naložil težek jarem, bom sedaj dodal vašemu jarmu. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Tako je Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo tretji dan prišlo k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj določil, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni tretji dan.«
And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 Kralj je ljudstvu surovo odgovoril in zapustil nasvet starcev, ki so mu ga dali.
And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.
14 Spregovoril jim je glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, jaz pa bom vašemu jarmu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval tudi z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Zatorej kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti stvar je bila od Gospoda, da je lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je Gospod po Šilčanu Ahíju govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
And the king listened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 Torej ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni prisluhnil, je ljudstvo odgovorilo kralju, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Niti nimamo dediščine v Jesejevem sinu. K svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. Sedaj poglej k svoji lastni hiši, David.« Tako je Izrael odšel v svoje šotore.
And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to your tents: now feed your own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.
17 Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
18 Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Adoráma, ki je bil nad davkom in ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni, da je umrl. Zato je kralj Rehabám pohitel, da se spravi k svojemu bojnemu vozu, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Tako se je Izrael uprl zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
20 Pripetilo se je, ko je ves Izrael slišal, da je Jerobeám ponovno prišel, da so poslali in ga poklicali k skupnosti in ga postavili za kralja nad vsem Izraelom. Tam ni bilo nikogar, ki je sledil Davidovi hiši, razen samo Judovega rodu.
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.
21 Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je zbral vso Judovo hišo, z Benjaminovim rodom, sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se bojujejo zoper Izraelovo hišo, da kraljestvo ponovno privedejo k Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu.
And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.
22 Toda beseda od Boga je prišla k Šemajáju, Božjemu možu, rekoč:
And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,
23 »Govori Salomonovemu sinu Rehabámu, Judovemu kralju in vsej Judovi in Benjaminovi hiši in preostanku ljudstva, rekoč:
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
24 ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper vaše brate, Izraelove otroke. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je od mene.‹« Prisluhnili so torej Gospodovi besedi in se vrnili, da odidejo, glede na Gospodovo besedo.
Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they listened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.
25 Potem je Jerobeám na gori Efrájim zgradil Sihem in tam prebival in odšel od tam ter zgradil Penuél.
And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and lived in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
26 Jerobeám je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj se bo kraljestvo vrnilo k Davidovi hiši.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 Če gre to ljudstvo gor, da opravi klavno daritev v Gospodovi hiši, v Jeruzalemu, potem se bo srce tega ljudstva ponovno obrnilo k njihovemu gospodu, k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu, mene pa bodo ubili in ponovno odšli k Judovemu kralju Rehabámu.«
If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will kill me.
28 Nakar se je kralj posvetoval in naredil dve teleti iz zlata ter jim rekel: »To je za vas preveč, da greste gor v Jeruzalem. Poglejte svoje bogove, oh Izrael, ki so te privedli gor iz egiptovske dežele.«
And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
29 Eno je postavil v Betelu, drugo pa v Danu.
And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
30 Ta stvar je postala greh, kajti ljudstvo je odšlo, da bi oboževalo pred enim, celó k Danu.
And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
31 Naredil je hišo visokih krajev in iz najnižjih izmed ljudstva naredil duhovnike, ki niso bili izmed Lévijevih sinov.
And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Jerobeám je odredil praznovanje v osmem mesecu, na petnajsti dan meseca, podobno prazniku, ki je v Judu in daroval na oltarju. Tako je storil v Betelu, žrtvoval je teletoma, ki ju je naredil in v Betelu je postavil duhovnike visokih krajev, ki jih je naredil.
And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;
33 Tako je daroval na oltarju, ki ga je naredil v Betelu, na petnajsti dan osmega meseca, celó v mesecu, ki ga je zasnoval iz svojega lastnega srca in odredil praznovanje Izraelovim otrokom in daroval na oltarju in zažgal kadilo.
and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
