¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

¹A Rechabeám odišiel do Sichema, lebo do Sichema bol prišiel celý Izrael, aby ho učinili kráľom.

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

²A stalo sa, keď počul Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, o smrti Šalamúnovej súc ešte v Egypte, kam bol utiekol pred kráľom Šalamúnom, že Jeroboám zostal v Egypte.

³That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

³Ale poslali po neho a povolali ho. A tak prišiel Jeroboám i celé shromaždenie Izraelovo, a hovorili Rechabeámovi a riekli:

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁴Tvoj otec urobil tvrdým a ťažkým naše jarmo, a tak teraz ty ho poľahči a ujmi z tvrdej služby svojho otca a s nášho ťažkého jarma, ktoré vložil na nás, a budeme ti slúžiť.

⁵And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁵A on im povedal: Odídite a dočkajte ešte tri dni a potom sa navráťte ku mne. A tak odišiel ľud.

⁶And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

⁶Vtedy sa radil kráľ Rechabeám so starcami, ktorí stávali pred Šalamúnom, jeho otcom, kým žil, a povedal: Ako vy radíte, jakú dať odpoveď tomuto ľudu?

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

⁷A hovorili mu a riekli: Ak ty dnes budeš služobníkom tomuto ľudu a poslúžiš im a odpovieš im a budeš im hovoriť dobré slová, budú ti služobníkmi po všetky dni.

⁸But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

⁸Ale opustil radu starcov, ktorú mu dali, a radil sa s mládencami, ktorí rástli s ním a ktorí stáli pred ním.

⁹And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

⁹A povedal im: Čo vy radíte, čo máme odpovedať tomuto ľudu, ktorí mi hovorili a riekli: Poľahči nám a ujmi z jarma, ktoré vložil na nás tvoj otec.

¹⁰And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

¹⁰A mládenci, ktorí rástli s ním, mu hovorili a riekli: Takto povieš tomu ľudu, ktorí ti hovorili a riekli: Tvoj otec učinil ťažkým naše jarmo, ale ty poľahči a ujmi z našeho jarma, tedy takto im budeš hovoriť: Môj malíček je tlstejší, ako boly bedrá môjho otca.

¹¹And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹¹A tak teraz, môj otec vraj naložil na vás ťažké jarmo, ale ja ešte pridám na vaše jarmo; môj otec vás trestal bičíkmi, ale ja vás budem trestať uzlovatými bičmi.

¹²So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

¹²Nuž prišiel Jeroboám i všetok ľud k Rechabeámovi tretieho dňa, jako hovoril kráľ povediac: Navráťte sa ku mne tretieho dňa.

¹³And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

¹³A kráľ odpovedal ľudu tvrde a opustiac radu starcov, ktorú mu dali,

¹⁴And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁴hovoril im podľa rady detí-mládencov a povedal: Môj otec učinil ťažkým vaše jarmo, ale ja ešte pridám na vaše jarmo; môj otec vás trestal bičíkmi, ale ja vás budem trestať uzlovatými bičmi.

¹⁵Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁵A neposlúchol a nepovolil kráľ ľudu, lebo to bol obrat od Hospodina, aby postavil svoje slovo, ktoré hovoril Hospodin skrze Achiáša Silonského Jeroboámovi, synovi Nebátovmu.

¹⁶So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

¹⁶Keď videl celý Izrael, že ho nevyslyšal kráľ, takto odpovedal ľud kráľovi a riekol: Akýže máme podiel v Dávidovi? Ani nemáme dedičstva v synovi Izaiho! Do svojich stánov, Izraelu! Teraz už opatri svoj dom, Dávide! A tak odišiel Izrael do svojich stánov.

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁷Ale čo do synov Izraelových, ktorí bývali v mestách Júdových, nad tými kraľoval Rechabeám.

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁸A keď potom poslal kráľ Rechabeám Adoráma, ktorý bol nad daňami, celý Izrael ho uhádzal kamením, aj zomrel. A kráľ Rechabeám sobral všetku silu, aby vysadol na voz a utiekol do Jeruzalema.

¹⁹So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

¹⁹Tak tedy sa vzbúril Izrael proti domu Dávidovmu a odpadol od neho, a je tak až do tohoto dňa.

²⁰And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

²⁰A stalo sa, keď počul celý Izrael, že sa navrátil Jeroboám, poslali k nemu a povolali ho do shromaždenia a učinili ho kráľom nad celým Izraelom. Nebolo nikoho, kto by bol išiel za domom Dávidovým krome samotného pokolenia Júdovho.

²¹And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

²¹Keď potom prišiel Rechabeám do Jeruzalema, shromaždil všetok dom Júdov i pokolenie Benjaminovo, sto osemdesiat tisíc vybraných mužov vojenných, aby bojovali proti domu Izraelovmu nato, aby prinavrátili kráľovstvo Rechabeámovi, synovi Šalamúnovmu.

²²But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

²²Ale stalo sa slovo Božie k Šemaiášovi, mužovi Božiemu, povediac:

²³Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

²³Povedz Rechabeámovi, synovi Šalamúnovmu, judskému kráľovi, a celému domu Júdovmu i Benjamínovi aj ostatku ľudu a riekni:

²⁴Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

²⁴Takto hovorí Hospodin: Nechoďte hore ani nebojujte proti svojim bratom, synom Izraelovým! Navráťte sa každý do svojho domu, lebo odo mňa sa stala tá vec. A poslúchli slovo Hospodinovo a vrátili sa, aby odišli podľa slova Hospodinovho.

²⁵Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

²⁵Potom vystavil Jeroboám Sichem na vrchu Efraimovom a býval v ňom. A vyjdúc odtiaľ vystavil Penuel.

²⁶And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

²⁶Ale potom si povedal Jeroboám vo svojom srdci: Teraz sa navráti kráľovstvo k domu Dávidovmu.

²⁷If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

²⁷Ak bude tento ľud chodiť hore obetovať obeti v dome Hospodinovom v Jeruzaleme, obráti sa srdce tohoto ľudu k svojmu pánovi, k Rechabeámovi, judskému kráľovi, a zabijú ma a navrátia sa k Rechabeámovi, judskému kráľovi.

²⁸Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁸A kráľ poradiac sa spravil dvoje zlatých teliat a povedal im, ľuďom: Už ste sa dosť nachodili hore do Jeruzalema! Tu hľa, tvoji bohovia, Izraelu, ktorí ťa vyviedli hore z Egyptskej zeme!

²⁹And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

²⁹A postavil jedno v Bét-ele a druhé dal do Dána.

³⁰And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

³⁰Ale tá vec bola na hriech. A tak chodil ľud pred to jedno až do Dána.

³¹And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

³¹A spravil dom výšin a narobil kňazov z najposlednejších z ľudu, ktorí neboli zo synov Léviho.

³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

³²A Jeroboám spravil i sviatok ôsmeho mesiaca, pätnásteho dňa toho mesiaca, jako je sviatok, ktorý sa svätí v Judsku, a obetoval zápalnú obeť na oltári. Tak urobil v Bét-ele obetujúc teľatám, ktoré spravil. A postavil v Bét-ele kňazov výšin, ktoré spravil.

³³So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

³³A tedy obetoval na oltári, ktorý spravil v Bét-ele, pätnásteho dňa ôsmeho mesiaca, toho mesiaca, ktorý si sám vymyslel. A tak spravil sviatok synom Izraelovým a vystúpil nad oltár, aby kadil.
