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

¹And it cometh to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he hath forsaken the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.

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,

²And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, come up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem -- because they trespassed against Jehovah --

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

³with a thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt -- Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim --

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

⁴and he captureth the cities of the bulwarks that [are] to Judah, and cometh in unto Jerusalem.

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.

⁵And Shemaiah the prophet hath come in unto Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered unto Jerusalem from the presence of Shishak, and saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, Ye have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak;'

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

⁶and the heads of Israel are humbled, and the king, and they say, `Righteous [is] Jehovah.'

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.

⁷And when Jehovah seeth that they have been humbled, a word of Jehovah hath been unto Shemaiah, saying, `They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I pour not out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;

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

⁸but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.'

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.

⁹And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king -- the whole he hath taken -- and he taketh the shields of gold that Solomon had made;

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

¹⁰and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;

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

¹¹and it cometh to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.

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

¹²And in his being humbled, turned back from him hath the wrath of Jehovah, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, in Judah there have been good things.

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.

¹³And king Rehoboam strengtheneth himself in Jerusalem, and reigneth; for a son of forty and two years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah hath chosen to put His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,

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

¹⁴and he doth the evil thing, for he hath not prepared his heart to seek Jehovah.

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.

¹⁵And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are] all the days;

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

¹⁶and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead.
