2 Kroniška 10
1 Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti v Sihem je prišel ves Izrael, da ga postavijo za kralja.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Pripetilo se je, ko je Nebátov sin Jerobeám, ki je bil v Egiptu, kamor je pobegnil pred prisotnostjo kralja Salomona, to slišal, da se je Jerobeám vrnil iz Egipta.
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Poslali so in ga poklicali. Tako je Jerobeám in ves Izrael prišel in govoril Rehabámu, rekoč:
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 »Tvoj oče je naredil naš jarem boleč. Sedaj torej nekako olajšaj boleče hlapčevstvo svojega očeta in njegov težki jarem, ki ga je nadel na nas in mi ti bomo služili.«
“Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5 Rekel jim je: »Pridite ponovno k meni po treh dneh.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So the people departed.
6 Kralj Rehabám se je posvetoval s starci, ki so stali pred njegovim očetom Salomonom, medtem ko je ta še živel, rekoč: »Kakšen nasvet mi dajete, da temu ljudstvu vrnem odgovor?«
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these people?”
7 Spregovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če boš prijazen do tega ljudstva, jim ugajal in jim govoril dobre besede, bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
8 Toda zapustil je nasvet, ki so mu ga dali starci in se posvetoval z mladeniči, ki so bili vzgojeni z njim, ki so stali pred njim.
But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
9 Rekel jim je: »Kakšen nasvet mi daste, da lahko vrnemo odgovor temu ljudstvu, ki mi je govorilo, rekoč: ›Nekoliko olajšaj jarem, ki ga je tvoj oče položil na nas?‹
He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter’?”
10 Mladeniči, ki so bili vzgojeni z njim, so mu spregovorili, rekoč: »Tako boš odgovoril ljudstvu, ki ti je spregovorilo, rekoč: ›Tvoj oče je naš jarem naredil težek, toda ti nam ga nekako olajšaj; ‹ tako jim boš rekel: ›Moj mali prst bo debelejši kakor ledja mojega očeta.
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11 Kajti kakor je moj oče na vas položil težek jarem, bom jaz vašemu jarmu še dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.‹«
Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
12 Tako so Jerobeám in vse ljudstvo na tretji dan prišli k Rehabámu, kakor je kralj zaukazal, rekoč: »Ponovno pridite k meni na tretji dan.«
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
13 Kralj jim je surovo odgovoril in kralj Rehabám je zapustil nasvet starcev
The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned the counsel of the old men,
14 ter jim odgovoril glede na nasvet mladeničev, rekoč: »Moj oče je vaš jarem naredil težek, toda jaz bom k temu dodal. Moj oče vas je kaznoval z biči, toda jaz vas bom kaznoval s škorpijoni.«
and spoke to them after the counsel 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 Tako kralj ni prisluhnil ljudstvu, kajti razlog je bil od Boga, da je Gospod lahko izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je po roki Šilčana Ahíja govoril Nebátovemu sinu Jerobeámu.
So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Ko je ves Izrael videl, da jim kralj ni hotel prisluhniti, je ljudstvo kralju odgovorilo, rekoč: »Kakšen delež imamo v Davidu? Nobene dediščine nimamo v Jesejevem sinu. Vsak mož k svojim šotorom, oh Izrael. In sedaj, David, glej k svoji lastni hiši.« Tako je ves Izrael odšel k svojim šotorom.
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We do not have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.
17 Toda kar se tiče Izraelovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, je nad njimi kraljeval Rehabám.
But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Potem je kralj Rehabám poslal Hadoráma, ki je bil nad davkom, Izraelovi otroci pa so ga kamnali s kamni, da je umrl. Toda kralj Rehabám je pohitel, da se spravi gor na svoj bojni voz, da pobegne v Jeruzalem.
Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 In Izrael se upira zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.
