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 urobil kráľom.

²And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

²A stalo sa, keď počul o tom Jeroboám, syn Nebátov, ktorý bol v Egypte, kam bol utiekol pred kráľom Šalamúnom, že sa navrátil Jeroboám z Egypta.

³And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,

³Lebo poslali po neho a povolali ho. A tedy prišiel Jeroboám i celý Izrael a hovorili Rechabeámovi a riekli:

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

⁴Tvoj otec spravil tvrdým naše jarmo, nuž teraz poľahči ujmúc z tvrdej služby svojho otca a s jeho ťažkého jarma, ktoré vzložil na nás, a budeme ti slúžiť.

⁵And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.

⁵A on im povedal: Dočkajte tri dni a potom prijdite zase 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 thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.

⁷A hovorili mu a riekli: Ak budeš dobrý a láskavý na tento ľud a urobíš im po vôli 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, že čo máme odpovedať tomuto ľudu, ktorí mi hovorili a riekli: Poľahči nám ujmúc od jarma, ktoré vzložil na nás tvoj otec?

¹⁰And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who 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 ľudu, ktorí ti hovorili a riekli: Tvoj otec učinil ťažkým naše jarmo, ale ty poľahči ujmúc od nášho jarma, tedy takto im povieš: 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.

¹¹Tak teraz, môj otec vraj naložil na vás ťažké jarmo, ale ja ešte pridám na vaše jarmo; môj otec vás trestal bičíkami, 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.

¹²A tak prišiel Jeroboám i všetok ľud k Rechabeámovi tretieho dňa, jako hovoril kráľ povediac: Prijďte zase ku mne tretieho dňa.

¹³And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,

¹³A kráľ im odpovedal tvrdo a tedy kráľ Rechabeám opustil radu starcov

¹⁴and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but *I* [will chastise you] with scorpions.

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

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

¹⁵A neposlúchol a nepovolil kráľ ľudu, lebo to bol obrat od Boha, aby postavil Hospodin svoje slovo, ktoré hovoril skrze Achiáša Šilonského 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: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.

¹⁶A videl celý Izrael, že ho nevyslyšal kráľ, a preto odpovedal ľud kráľovi a riekol: Akýže máme podiel v Dávidovi? Ani nemáme dedičstva v synovi Izaiho! Každý do svojich stánov, Izraelu! Teraz už opatri svoj dom, Dávide! A tak odišiel celý 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 Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁸Keď potom poslal kráľ Rechabeám Adoráma, ktorý bol nad daňami, uhádzali ho synovia Izraelovi 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.

¹⁹A tak sa vzbúril Izrael proti domu Dávidovmu a odpadol od neho, jako je to až do tohoto dňa.
