¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had 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 heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had 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.

³and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to 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; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, 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 to 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, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to 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 spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, 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 advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that 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 to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?

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 had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, -- thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is 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 whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, *I* will add to your yoke: my father 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.

¹²And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on 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 advice of the old men which they had given him;

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

¹⁴and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to your yoke: my father 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.

¹⁵So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to 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.

¹⁶And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to 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 that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

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

¹⁸And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount 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.

¹⁹And 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 had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none 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 Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might 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 to 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 remainder of the people, saying,

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

²⁴Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah.

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.

²⁵And 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 Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return 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.

²⁸And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, 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 he put in Dan.

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

³⁰And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.

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

³¹And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who 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 the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that 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.

³³And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning 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.
