¹V tem času je zbolel Abija, sin Jeroboamov.

¹At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick,

²In Jeroboam reče ženi svoji: Vstani, prosim, in preobleci se, da te ne spoznajo, da si žena Jeroboamova, ter pojdi v Silo; glej, tam je Ahija prorok, ki je govoril o meni, da bodem kralj temu ljudstvu.

²and Jeroboam saith to his wife, `Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] king over this people;

³In vzemi s seboj deset kruhov in kolačev in posodo medu ter pojdi k njemu; on ti naznani, kaj se zgodi z dečkom.

³and thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.`

⁴In žena Jeroboamova stori tako, in vstane ter odide v Silo in pride v hišo Ahijevo. Ahija pa ni mogel videti, kajti oči so mu bile premrle od starosti.

⁴And the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age.

⁵A GOSPOD je rekel Ahiju: Glej, žena Jeroboamova prihaja, vprašat te besedo zastran sina svojega; bolan je namreč. Zato ji govóri tako in tako! Kajti ko pride noter, se bo delala za tujo.

⁵And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, `Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.`

⁶Ko torej zasliši Ahija šum njenih nog, brž ko je stopila med duri, ji veli: Pridi le, žena Jeroboamova! Čemu se delaš za tujko? kajti jaz ti sem poslan s trdim poročilom.

⁶And it cometh to pass, at Ahijah`s hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, `Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this — thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing:

⁷Pojdi, povej Jeroboamu: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov: Ker sem te povišal izmed ljudstva in te postavil za vojvodo ljudstvu svojemu Izraelu

⁷Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel,

⁸in sem odtrgal kraljestvo od hiše Davidove ter ga dal tebi, ti pa nisi bil kakor hlapec moj David, ki je izpolnjeval zapovedi moje in hodil za menoj z vsem srcem svojim, da bi delal samo to, kar je prav v mojih očeh,

⁸and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee, — and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which [is] right in Mine eyes,

⁹temuč si delal hudo bolj nego vsi, ki so bili pred teboj; odšel si in si naredil drugih bogov in ulitih podob, da bi me dražil v jezo, mene pa si vrgel za hrbet svoj:

⁹and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back:

¹⁰zato, glej, pripravim nesrečo nad Jeroboamovo hišo in iztrebim od Jeroboamovih vsakega moškega, i sužnjega i prostega v Izraelu, in dočista izmetem hišo Jeroboamovo, kakor se blato izmete, da ga ni več.

¹⁰`Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall — shut up and left — in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;

¹¹Njega, ki od Jeroboamovih umre v mestu, bodo žrli psi, kdor pa umre na polju, njega bodo žrle ptice nebeške, kajti GOSPOD je govoril to.

¹¹him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.

¹²Vstani torej in pojdi domov, in kadar stopi noga tvoja v mesto, umrje deček.

¹²`And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city — hath the lad died;

¹³In ves Izrael bo žaloval po njem, in ga pokopljejo, zakaj on edini od Jeroboamovih pride v grob, ker se je na njem našlo nekaj dobrega proti GOSPODU, Bogu Izraelovemu, v hiši Jeroboamovi.

¹³and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one — by himself — cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹⁴GOSPOD pa si obudi kralja nad Izraelom, ki zatre hišo Jeroboamovo tisti dan. In kako je že danes!

¹⁴`And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day — and what? — even now!

¹⁵In GOSPOD udari Izraela, da se bo majal kakor trst v vodi, in izdere Izraela iz te dobre dežele, ki jo je dal njih očetom, ter jih razkropi onostran velereke, zato ker so si napravili svoje Ašere, da bi dražili GOSPODA v jezo.

¹⁵And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;

¹⁶In izda Izraela sovražniku zaradi grehov Jeroboamovih, s katerimi je grešil in v greh zapeljeval Izraela.

¹⁶and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.`

¹⁷Vstane torej žena Jeroboamova in odide in dospe v Tirzo, in ko stopi na prag hiše, umrje deček.

¹⁷And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;

¹⁸In so ga pokopali, in ves Izrael je žaloval za njim, kakor je bil govoril GOSPOD po hlapcu svojem, Ahiju proroku.

¹⁸and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁹Druge zgodbe Jeroboamove pa, kako se je bojeval in kako je kraljeval, glej, pisano je v knjigi letopisov kraljev Izraelovih.

¹⁹And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

²⁰Dni pa, v katerih je kraljeval Jeroboam, je bilo dvaindvajset let. In legel je k očetom svojim, in Nadab, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²⁰And the days that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son in his stead.

²¹Roboam pa, sin Salomonov, je kraljeval na Judovem. Roboam je bil enoinštirideset let star, ko je zakraljeval, in sedemnajst let je vladal v Jeruzalemu, v mestu, ki si ga je izvolil GOSPOD iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, da ondi postavi ime svoje. In matere njegove ime je bilo Naama Amonka.

²¹And Rehoboam son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess.

²²In Juda je delal, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, in dražili so ga h gorečnosti z grehi svojimi, ki so jih počenjali mimo vsega, kar so storili njih očetje.

²²And Judah doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.

²³Kajti napravljali so si tudi višave in stebre s podobami in Ašere na vsakem visokem hribu in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom.

²³And they build — also they — for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, and under every green tree;

²⁴Pa tudi nečistosti posvečeni moški so bili v deželi, ti so počenjali vse gnusobe poganskih narodov, ki jih je bil GOSPOD pregnal pred sinovi Izraelovimi.

²⁴and also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

²⁵In zgodi se v petem letu kralja Roboama, da pride gori Sisak, kralj egiptovski, proti Jeruzalemu.

²⁵And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem,

²⁶Ta je pobral zaklade hiše GOSPODOVE in zaklade hiše kraljeve in vse, kar se je dalo vzeti, tudi vse ščite zlate je pobral, ki jih je bil napravil Salomon.

²⁶and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made.

²⁷Namesto njih je naredil kralj Roboam ščite iz brona ter jih je izročil poveljnikom straže, ki so čuvali vrata hiše kraljeve.

²⁷And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,

²⁸In kadarkoli je kralj šel v hišo GOSPODOVO, so jih nosili stražarji, in potem so jih zopet prinesli v stražarnico.

²⁸and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.

²⁹Druge zgodbe Roboamove pa in vse, kar je storil, ni li pisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?

²⁹And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

³⁰Boj pa je bil med Roboamom in Jeroboamom vse njiju žive dni.In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga z očeti njegovimi v mestu Davidovem; ime matere njegove pa je bilo Naama Amonka. In Abijam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

³⁰And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days;

³¹In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga z očeti njegovimi v mestu Davidovem; ime matere njegove pa je bilo Naama Amonka. In Abijam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

³¹and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
