2 Kroniška 10
1 Rehabám je odšel v Sihem, kajti v Sihem je prišel ves Izrael, da ga postavijo za kralja.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come 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.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Poslali so in ga poklicali. Tako je Jerobeám in ves Izrael prišel in govoril Rehabámu, rekoč:
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and 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 ease you somewhat the grievous servitude of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we will serve you.
5 Rekel jim je: »Pridite ponovno k meni po treh dneh.« In ljudstvo je odšlo.
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And 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?«
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give you me to return answer to this people?
7 Spregovorili so mu, rekoč: »Če boš prijazen do tega ljudstva, jim ugajal in jim govoril dobre besede, bodo tvoji služabniki na veke.«
And they spoke to him, saying, If you be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants for ever.
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 forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that 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?‹
And he said to them, What advice give you that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that your father did put on us?
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.
And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you answer the people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it somewhat lighter for us; thus shall you say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
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.‹«
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will put more 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 on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Kralj jim je surovo odgovoril in kralj Rehabám je zapustil nasvet starcev
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook 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 answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: 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 listened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of 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.
And when all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to your own house. So all Israel went 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 that dwelled 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 that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 In Izrael se upira zoper Davidovo hišo do današnjega dne.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
