¹Aga kui Rehabeami valitsus oli kindlustatud ja ta ise vägevaks saanud, siis ta hülgas Issanda Seaduse, ja koos temaga kogu Iisrael.

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.

²Siis sündis, et Rehabeami viiendal aastal tuli Egiptuse kuningas Siisak üles Jeruusalemma kallale - sest need seal olid olnud truuduseta Issanda vastu -

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,

³koos tuhande kahesaja sõjavankriga ja kuuekümne tuhande ratsanikuga; ja lugematu oli rahvas, kes koos temaga Egiptusest tuli: liibüalased, sukkid ja etiooplased.

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.

⁴Ja ta vallutas Juudas olevad kindlustatud linnad ning tuli kuni Jeruusalemmani.

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

⁵Siis tuli prohvet Semaja Rehabeami ja Juuda vürstide juurde, kes olid Siisaki eest kogunenud Jeruusalemma, ja ütles neile: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Te olete hüljanud minu, seepärast olen minagi teid jätnud Siisaki kätte.'

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.

⁶Siis Iisraeli vürstid ja kuningas alandasid endid ning ütlesid: 'Issand on õiglane!'

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

⁷Ja kui Issand nägi, et nad endid alandasid, siis tuli Issanda sõna Semajale; ta ütles: 'Nad on endid alandanud. Mina ei hävita neid, vaid päästan nad varsti ega vala oma viha Jeruusalemma peale Siisaki käe läbi.

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.

⁸Aga nad saavad tema alamaiks, et nad õpiksid tundma, mis tähendab teenida mind ja mis tähendab teenida maiseid kuningriike.'

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

⁹Ja Siisak, Egiptuse kuningas, tuli Jeruusalemma kallale ning võttis ära Issanda koja varandused ja kuningakoja varandused - ta võttis kõik ära, ta võttis ära ka kuldkilbid, mis Saalomon oli teinud.

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.

¹⁰Siis kuningas Rehabeam tegi nende asemele vaskkilbid ja andis need ihukaitsepealikute hooleks, kes valvasid kuningakoja ust.

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.

¹¹Ja iga kord, kui kuningas läks Issanda kotta, tulid ihukaitsjad ja kandsid neid ja viisid need siis jälle tagasi ihukaitse ruumi.

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.

¹²Sellepärast, et ta ennast oli alandanud, pöördus Issanda viha temalt, et teda mitte sootuks hävitada; oli ju veel Juudaski mõndagi head.

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.

¹³Ja kuningas Rehabeam kindlustas ennast Jeruusalemmas ning valitses edasi; sest Rehabeam oli kuningaks saades olnud nelikümmend üks aastat vana ja ta valitses seitseteist aastat Jeruusalemmas, linnas, mille Issand kõigist Iisraeli suguharudest oli valinud, et panna sinna oma nimi; ta ema oli ammonlanna Naama.

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.

¹⁴Aga ta tegi kurja, sest ta ei valmistanud oma südant Issandat otsima.

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

¹⁵Ja Rehabeami lood, varasemad ja hilisemad, eks need ole kirja pandud prohvet Semaja ja nägija Iddo lugudes, nõndasamuti see, mis puutub suguvõsakirjadesse? Rehabeami ja Jerobeami vahel olid kogu aja sõjad.

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.

¹⁶Siis Rehabeam läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti Taaveti linna. Ja tema poeg Abija sai tema asemel kuningaks.

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