< 2 Kroniška 11 >

1 Ko je Rehabám prišel v Jeruzalem, je iz Judove in Benjaminove hiše zbral sto osemdeset tisoč izbranih mož, ki so bili bojevniki, da se borijo zoper Izrael, da bi kraljestvo lahko ponovno privedli k Rehabámu.
When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Toda beseda od Gospoda je prišla Božjemu možu Šemajáju, rekoč:
But Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 »Govori Rehabámu, Salomonovemu sinu, Judovemu kralju in vsemu Izraelu v Judu in Benjaminu, rekoč:
“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ne boste šli gor niti se ne boste borili zoper svoje brate. Vsak mož naj se vrne k svoji hiši, kajti ta stvar je storjena od mene.‹« Ubogali so Gospodove besede in se vrnili pred [tem, da bi] šli zoper Jerobeáma.
‘Yahweh says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Rehabám je prebival v Jeruzalemu in gradil mesta za obrambo v Judu.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 Zgradil je celo Bethlehem, Etám, Tekóo,
He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Bet Cur, Sohóm, Adulám,
Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gat, Marešo, Zif,
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 Adorájim, Lahíš, Azéko,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Coro, Ajalón in Hebrón, ki so v Judu in v Benjaminu utrjena mesta.
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11 Utrdil je oporišča in vanje postavil poveljnike in zaloge živeža, olja in vina.
He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
12 V vsako posamezno mesto je postavil ščite in sulice ter jih naredil silno močne, [ker je] imel Juda in Benjamin na svoji strani.
He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 Duhovniki in Lévijevci, ki so bili po vsem Izraelu, so zahajali k njemu iz vseh svojih krajev.
The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
14 Kajti Lévijevci so zapustili svoja predmestja in svojo lastnino ter prišli k Judu in Jeruzalemu, kajti Jerobeám in njegovi sinovi so jih zavrgli pred izvrševanjem duhovniške službe Gospodu.
For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to Yahweh.
15 Odredil si je duhovnike za visoke kraje, za hudiče in za teleti, ki ju je naredil.
He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
16 Za njimi so iz vseh Izraelovih rodov [prišli] tisti, ki so svoja srca naravnali, da iščejo Gospoda Boga. Iz Izraela so prišli v Jeruzalem, da darujejo Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov.
After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
17 Tako so tri leta krepili Judovo kraljestvo in Salomonovega sina Rehabáma naredili močnega, kajti tri leta so hodili po Davidovi in Salomonovi poti.
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Rehabám si je za ženo vzel Mahaláto, hčer Davidovega sina Jerimóta in Abihájilo, hčer Jesejevega sina Eliába,
Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
19 ki sta mu rodila otroke: Jeúša, Šemarjája in Zaháma.
She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Za njo je vzel Absalomovo hčer Maáho, ki mu je rodila Abíja, Atája, Zizá in Šelomíta.
After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Rehabám je ljubil Absalomovo hčer Maáho bolj, kot vse svoje žene in svoje priležnice, (kajti vzel je osemnajst žena in šestdeset priležnic ter zaplodil osemindvajset sinov in šestdeset hčerá.)
Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Rehabám je postavil Maáhinega sina Abíja, da bo vladar med svojimi brati, kajti mislil je, da ga postavi za kralja.
Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23 Modro je ravnal in vse svoje otroke razpršil po vseh Judovih in Benjaminovih deželah, do vsakega utrjenega mesta in dal jim je živeža v obilju. In želel je mnogo žená.
He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
