¹In zgodi se, ko je bilo utrjeno kraljestvo Roboamovo in se je on ojačil, da je zapustil postavo GOSPODOVO in ves Izrael ž njim.

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.

²In v petem letu kralja Roboama je prišel gori Sisak, kralj egiptovski, proti Jeruzalemu, zato ker so bili nezvesti GOSPODU,

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 --

³z dvanajststo vozovi in šestdeset tisoč konjiki in brezštevilnim moštvom, ki je prišlo ž njim iz Egipta: Lubimi, Sukimi in Etiopci.

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 --

⁴In dobil je utrjena mesta, ki so bila Judova, in dospel je k Jeruzalemu.

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

⁵Tedaj pride Semaja, prorok, k Roboamu in k poglavarjem Judovim, ki so se zaradi Sisaka zbrali v Jeruzalemu, in jim reče: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Vi ste zapustili mene, zato sem tudi jaz vas pustil v roke Sisakove.

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;'

⁶Tedaj se ponižajo poglavarji Izraelovi in kralj in reko: Pravičen je GOSPOD.

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

⁷In ko je videl GOSPOD, da so se ponižali, pride beseda GOSPODOVA k Semaju, govoreč: Ponižali so se, ne bom jih pokončal, temuč dam jim malo pomoči, in srd moj se ne bo razlil nad Jeruzalemom po roki Sisakovi.

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;

⁸Vendar pa mu morajo biti podložni, da spoznajo, kaj je meni služiti in kaj služiti zemeljskim kraljestvom.

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

⁹Pride torej Sisak, kralj egiptovski, proti Jeruzalemu in vzame zaklade hiše GOSPODOVE in zaklade hiše kraljeve, pobere vse, vzame tudi zlate ščite, ki jih je napravil Salomon.

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;

¹⁰In kralj Roboam naredi namesto njih ščite iz brona in jih izroči poveljnikom stražarjev, ki so čuvali vrata kraljeve hiše.

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;

¹¹In kadarkoli je šel kralj v hišo GOSPODOVO, so prišli stražarji in jih nosili in potem jih zopet odnesli v stražnico.

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.

¹²In ko se je ponižal, se je odvrnila od njega jeza GOSPODOVA, da ga ni docela pokončal. Tudi je bilo pri Judi še nekoliko dobrega.

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.

¹³In okrepil se je Roboam zopet v Jeruzalemu in je kraljeval. Zakaj enainštirideset let je bilo Roboamu, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je sedemnajst let v Jeruzalemu, v mestu, ki si ga je izvolil GOSPOD iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, da postavi ondi ime svoje. In materi njegovi je bilo ime Naama, Amonka.

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,

¹⁴In delal je, kar je bilo hudo, ker ni pripravil srca svojega, da bi iskal GOSPODA.

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

¹⁵A dejanja Roboamova, prva in poslednja, niso li zapisana v zgodbah Semaja proroka in Ida vidca med rodopisi? In boji so bili med Roboamom in Jeroboamom vse njiju dni.In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem; in Abija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

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;

¹⁶In Roboam je legel k očetom svojim in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem; in Abija, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

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