2 Kroniška 12

1 Pripetilo se je, ko je Rehabám utrdil kraljestvo in se okrepil, da je zapustil Gospodovo postavo in ves Izrael z njim.

And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

2 Pripetilo se je, da je v petem letu kralja Rehabáma egiptovski kralj Šišák prišel gor zoper Jeruzalem, ker so se pregrešili zoper Gospoda,

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against the LORD,

3 s tisoč dvesto bojnimi vozovi in šestdeset tisoč konjeniki. Ljudstva, ki so prišli z njim iz Egipta, je bilo brez števila: Libijci, Súkijci in Etiopci.

with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

4 Zavzel je utrjena mesta, ki pripadajo Judu in prišel do Jeruzalema.

And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.

5 Potem je prišel prerok Šemajá k Rehabámu in k Judovim princem, ki so bili zaradi Šišáka zbrani skupaj v Jeruzalemu ter jim rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Vi ste zapustili mene in zato sem tudi jaz vas prepustil v Šišákovo roko.‹«

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

6 Nakar so se Izraelovi princi in kralj ponižali ter rekli: » Gospod je pravičen.«

Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

7 Ko je Gospod videl, da so se ponižali, je beseda od Gospoda prišla k Šemajáju, rekoč: »Oni so se ponižali, zato jih ne bom uničil, temveč jim bom zagotovil nekaj osvoboditve, in moj bes ne bo izlit na Jeruzalem po Šišákovi roki.

And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them: but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Kljub temu bodo njegovi služabniki, da bodo lahko spoznali moje služenje in služenje kraljestvom dežel.«

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

9 Tako je egiptovski kralj Šišák prišel gor nad Jeruzalem in odnesel zaklade Gospodove hiše in zaklade kraljeve hiše. Vse je vzel. Odnesel je tudi ščite iz zlata, ki jih je naredil Salomon.

So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 Namesto teh je kralj Rehabám naredil ščite iz brona in jih predal v roke poveljnika straže, ki je varoval vhod kraljeve hiše.

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house.

11 Ko je kralj vstopil v Gospodovo hišo, je prišla straža ter jih nosila in jih [potem] ponovno prinesla v stražarnico.

And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

12 Ko se je ponižal, se je Gospodov bes odvrnil od njega, da ga ne bi povsem uničil. Tudi v Judu so stvari šle dobro.

And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things [found].

13 Tako se je kralj Rehabám okrepil v Jeruzalemu in kraljeval, kajti Rehabám je bil star enainštirideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in sedemnajst let je kraljeval v Jeruzalemu, mestu, ki ga je Gospod izbral izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, da tam postavi svoje ime. Ime njegove matere je bilo Naáma, Amónka.

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

14 Počel je zlo, ker svojega srca ni pripravil, da išče Gospoda.

And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek the LORD.

15 Torej dejanja Rehabáma, prva in zadnja, mar niso zapisana v knjigi preroka Šemajája in vidca Idója glede rodovnikov? In nenehno so bile vojne med Rehabámom in Jerobeámom.

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 Rehabám je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopan je bil v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Abíja.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
