¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

¹U ono se vrijeme razbolje Abija, sin Jeroboamov,

²Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

²i Jeroboam reče svojoj ženi: "Ustani i preobuci se da te ne bi prepoznali da si žena Jeroboamova; i idi u Šilo. Ondje je prorok Ahija: onaj koji mi je prorokovao da ću biti kraljem ovoga naroda.

³Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”

³I ponesi deset hljebova, kolača i posudu meda i otiđi k njemu! On će ti reći što će biti s dječakom."

⁴Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁴I učini tako žena Jeroboamova: ustade, ode u Šilo i uđe u kuću Ahijinu. A on nije više vidio, oslabile mu oči od duboke starosti.

⁵Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

⁵Ali mu je Jahve rekao: "Evo dolazi žena Jeroboamova da od tebe traži savjeta za svoga sina jer je bolestan; a ti ćeš joj reći tako i tako. Kad bude ulazila, pretvarat će se kao da je druga."

⁶It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, “Come in, you wife of Jeroboam! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

⁶Kad Ahija ču šum njenih koraka na vratima, reče joj: "Uđi, ženo Jeroboamova! Što se pretvaraš da si druga, kad imam tešku vijest za tebe?

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

⁷Idi, reci Jeroboamu: 'Ovako kaže Jahve, Bog Izraelov: Podigao sam te isred naroda i učinio sam te knezom nad mojim narodom Izraelom,

⁸and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

⁸istrgnuo sam kraljevstvo iz kuće Davidove i dao ga tebi. Ali ti nisi bio kao moj sluga David, koji je držao moje zapovijedi i koji me slijedio svim srcem svojim i činio samo ono što je pravedno u mojim očima.

⁹but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

⁹Ti si radio kudikamo gore od svojih prethodnika, otišao si i načinio sebi druge bogove, salio si im likove da me dražiš, mene si bacio za leđa.

¹⁰therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, or, male he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.

¹⁰Zato, evo, puštam zlo na kuću Jeroboamovu, istrijebit ću iz obitelji Jeroboamove sve što mokri uza zid, robove i slobodnjake u Izraelu; ja ću netragom pomesti kuću Jeroboamovu kao što se mete nečist, da ga ništa ne ostane.

¹¹He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for Yahweh has spoken it.”’

¹¹One koji iz Jeroboamove obitelji umru u gradu, proždrijet će psi, a one koji umru u polju, pojest će ptice nebeske.' - Eto tako je Jahve rekao.

¹²Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹²A ti ustani i pođi svome domu: tek što nogama stupiš u grad, dječak će umrijeti.

¹³All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹³Sav će ga Izrael oplakati i pokopat će ga. On će biti jedini iz obitelji Jeroboamove položen u grob, jer se jedino na njemu našlo nešto što se u kući Jeroboamovoj svidjelo Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.

¹⁴Moreover Yahweh will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day! What? Even now.

¹⁴Jahve će sebi postaviti kralja nad Izraelom i taj će istrijebiti kuću Jeroboamovu. Evo dana! Što? Čak i trenutka!

¹⁵For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger.

¹⁵Jahve će udariti Izraela te će se njihati kao trska u vodi. Iščupat će Izraela iz ove dobre zemlje koju je dao njihovim ocima i rasijat će ih s onu stranu Rijeke, jer su načinili sebi ašere koje srde Jahvu.

¹⁶He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”

¹⁶Odbacit će Izraela kao smeće, zbog grijeha što ih je učinio Jeroboam i na koje je navodio Izraela."

¹⁷Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

¹⁷Žena Jeroboamova ustade i ode. Stigla je u Tirsu, a kad je prelazila kućni prag, dječak bijaše mrtav.

¹⁸All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁸Pokopali su ga i sav ga je Izrael oplakao prema riječi koju je Jahve rekao po sluzi svome proroku Ahiji.

¹⁹The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹⁹Ostala povijest Jeroboamova, kako je ratovao i kraljevao, to je zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva izraelskih.

²⁰The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

²⁰Jeroboamovo kraljevanje trajalo je dvadeset i dvije godine, zatim je Jeroboam počinuo kraj otaca svojih, a sin mu Nadab zakraljio se mjesto njega.

²¹Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. 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.

²¹Roboam, sin Salomonov, bio je kralj Judejaca; bijaše mu četrdeset i jedna godina kad je postao kraljem, a sedamnaest je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu, u gradu koji Jahve izabra između svih izraelskih plemena da ondje postavi svoje Ime. Majka mu se zvala Naama, a bila je Amonka.

²²Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

²²I Juda učini zlo u očima Jahvinim. Grijesima koje su počinili razjarili su ga više od svega što su učinili njihovi oci.

²³For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

²³Jer su i oni podigli uzvišice, stupove i ašere na svakom brežuljku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.

²⁴Bilo je čak posvećenih bludnica u zemlji. Oponašao je sve grozote naroda što ih je Jahve otjerao ispred sinova Izraelovih.

²⁵It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

²⁵Pete godine Roboamova kraljevanja egipatski kralj Šišak navali na Jeruzalem.

²⁶and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

²⁶Opljačka sve blago iz Doma Jahvina i riznicu kraljevskog dvora; sve je uzeo; uze i sve zlatne štitove što ih bijaše napravio Salomon.

²⁷King 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.

²⁷Namjesto njih kralj Roboam napravi tučane štitove i povjeri ih zapovjednicima straže koja je čuvala vrata kraljevskog dvora.

²⁸It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

²⁸Kad je god kralj išao u Jahvin Dom, stražari su ih uzimali, a poslije ih vraćali u stražaru.

²⁹Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹Ostala povijest Roboamova, sve što je učinio, zar nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa kraljeva judejskih?

³⁰There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

³⁰Za sve vrijeme bio je rat između Roboama i Jeroboama.

³¹Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

³¹Roboam je počinuo sa svojim ocima i bi sahranjen sa svojim ocima u Davidovu gradu. Majka mu se zvala Naama, a bila je Amonka. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Abijam.
