¹And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

¹In zgodi se, ko je bilo utrjeno kraljestvo Roboamovo in se je on ojačil, da je zapustil postavo GOSPODOVO in ves Izrael ž njim.

²And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

²In v petem letu kralja Roboama je prišel gori Sisak, kralj egiptovski, proti Jeruzalemu, zato ker so bili nezvesti GOSPODU,

³With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

³z dvanajststo vozovi in šestdeset tisoč konjiki in brezštevilnim moštvom, ki je prišlo ž njim iz Egipta: Lubimi, Sukimi in Etiopci.

⁴And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

⁴In dobil je utrjena mesta, ki so bila Judova, in dospel je k Jeruzalemu.

⁵Then came Shemaiah the prophet 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, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

⁵Tedaj pride Semaja, prorok, k Roboamu in k poglavarjem Judovim, ki so se zaradi Sisaka zbrali v Jeruzalemu, in jim reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Vi ste zapustili mene, zato sem tudi jaz vas pustil v roke Sisakove.

⁶Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

⁶Tedaj se ponižajo poglavarji Izraelovi in kralj in reko: Pravičen je GOSPOD.

⁷And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore 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.

⁷In ko je videl GOSPOD, da so se ponižali, pride beseda GOSPODOVA k Semaju, govoreč: Ponižali so se, ne bom jih pokončal, temuč dam jim malo pomoči, in srd moj se ne bo razlil nad Jeruzalemom po roki Sisakovi.

⁸Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

⁸Vendar pa mu morajo biti podložni, da spoznajo, kaj je meni služiti in kaj služiti zemeljskim kraljestvom.

⁹So 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: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

⁹Pride torej Sisak, kralj egiptovski, proti Jeruzalemu in vzame zaklade hiše GOSPODOVE in zaklade hiše kraljeve, pobere vse, vzame tudi zlate ščite, ki jih je napravil Salomon.

¹⁰Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

¹⁰In kralj Roboam naredi namesto njih ščite iz brona in jih izroči poveljnikom stražarjev, ki so čuvali vrata kraljeve hiše.

¹¹And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.

¹¹In kadarkoli je šel kralj v hišo GOSPODOVO, so prišli stražarji in jih nosili in potem jih zopet odnesli v stražnico.

¹²And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

¹²In ko se je ponižal, se je odvrnila od njega jeza GOSPODOVA, da ga ni docela pokončal. Tudi je bilo pri Judi še nekoliko dobrega.

¹³So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty 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 an Ammonitess.

¹³In okrepil se je Roboam zopet v Jeruzalemu in je kraljeval. Zakaj enainštirideset let je bilo Roboamu, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je sedemnajst let v Jeruzalemu, v mestu, ki si ga je izvolil GOSPOD iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, da postavi ondi ime svoje. In materi njegovi je bilo ime Naama, Amonka.

¹⁴And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

¹⁴In delal je, kar je bilo hudo, ker ni pripravil srca svojega, da bi iskal GOSPODA.

¹⁵Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

¹⁵A dejanja Roboamova, prva in poslednja, niso li zapisana v zgodbah Semaja proroka in Ida vidca med rodopisi? In boji so bili med Roboamom in Jeroboamom vse njiju dni.In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem; in Abija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

¹⁶And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

¹⁶In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem; in Abija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.
