¹And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.

¹A stalo sa, keď už stálo pevne kráľovstvo Rechabeámovo a keď už cítil svoju silu, že opustil zákon Hospodinov a celý Izrael s ním.

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

²A stalo sa v piatom roku kráľa Rechabeáma, že prišiel hore Šišak, egyptský kráľ, proti Jeruzalemu, lebo sa boli prehrešili proti Hospodinovi dopustiac sa nevernosti,

³with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.

³s tisíc a dvesto vozmi a so šesťdesiat tisíc jazdcami, a nebolo počtu ľudu, ktorý prišiel s ním z Egypta, Lýbovia, Sukkovia a Ethiopi.

⁴And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

⁴A zaujal ohradené mestá, ktoré patrily Judsku, a prišiel až k Jeruzalemu.

⁵And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

⁵Vtedy prišiel prorok Šemaiáš k Rechabeámovi a k judským kniežatám, ktorí sa boli shromaždili do Jeruzalema pred Šišakom, a riekol im: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Vy ste mňa opustili, a preto som i ja vás opustil a vydal do ruky Šišaka.

⁶And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.

⁶Vtedy sa pokorili izraelské kniežatá i kráľ a riekli: Hospodin je spravedlivý.

⁷And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

⁷A keď videl Hospodin, že sa pokorili, stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Šemaiášovi povediac: Pokorili sa, nezahladím ich, ale im dám, aby o málo času unikli, a nevylejem svojho hnevu na Jeruzalem skrze Šišaka.

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

⁸Avšak istotne mu budú za sluhov, aby poznali moju službu a službu kráľovstiev zemí.

⁹And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.

⁹A tedy vyšiel Šišak, egyptský kráľ, hore proti Jeruzalemu a pobral poklady domu Hospodinovho i poklady domu kráľovho. Všetko pobral a vzal i malé štíty zlaté, ktorých bol narobil Šalamún.

¹⁰And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.

¹⁰A kráľ Rechabeám narobil malých štítov medených miesto nich a oddal ich do ruky veliteľom behúňov kráľovskej stráže, ktorí strážili vchod do domu kráľovho.

¹¹And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.

¹¹A bývalo, že kedykoľvek išiel kráľ do domu Hospodinovho, prišli behúni a nosili ich a zase ich odnášali zpät do strážnice behúňov.

¹²And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.

¹²Ale keď sa pokoril, odvrátil sa od neho hnev Hospodinov, a nechcel ho celkom zahladiť. A boly aj v Júdovi dobré veci.-

¹³And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

¹³A tedy sa zmocnil kráľ Rechabeám v Jeruzaleme a kraľoval, lebo Rechabeám mal štyridsaťjeden rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval sedemnásť rokov v Jeruzaleme, v meste, ktoré si vyvolil Hospodin zo všetkých pokolení Izraelových nato, aby tam položil svoje meno. A meno jeho matky bolo Naama Ammonská.

¹⁴And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.

¹⁴Robil to, čo je zlé, lebo neustavil svojho srdca hľadať Hospodina.

¹⁵And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

¹⁵A deje Rechabeámove, prvé i posledné, či nie sú napísané v dejinách proroka Šemaiáša a vidiaceho Iddu, kde sa vypočitujú rody? A vojny boly medzi Rechabeámom a Jeroboámom po všetky dni.

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

¹⁶A tak ľahol Rechabeám a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný v meste Dávidovom. A kraľoval Abiáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.
