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

¹It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, 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 -

²It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,

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. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

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

⁴He took the fortified cities which pertained 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.'

⁵Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”

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

⁶Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh 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.

⁷When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on 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.

⁹So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

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

¹⁰King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door 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.

¹¹It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Yahweh, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

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

¹²When he humbled himself, the wrath of Yahweh turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.

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.

¹³So 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 which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

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

¹⁴He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.

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.

¹⁵Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? 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.

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