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.

¹Kad je Roboam utvrdio kraljevstvo i ojačao, napustio je Jahvin zakon i on i sav Izrael s njim.

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

²Ali pete godine Roboamova kraljevanja navali egipatski kralj Šišak na Jeruzalem, koji se bijaše iznevjerio Jahvi.

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.

³Došao je sa tisuću i dvjesta bojnih kola i sa šezdeset tisuća konjanika, a narodu koji je došao s njim iz Egipta - Libijcima, Sukijcima i Etiopljanima - nije bilo broja.

⁴He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

⁴Osvojivši tvrde judejske gradove, dopro je do Jeruzalema.

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.’”

⁵Tada dođe prorok Šemaja k Roboamu i judejskim knezovima, koji se bijahu skupili u Jeruzalemu bježeći od Šišaka, i reče im: "Ovako veli Jahve: 'Vi ste ostavili mene, pa i ja ostavljam vas u ruke Šišaku.'"

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

⁶Tada se poniziše izraelski knezovi i kralj i rekoše: "Pravedan je Jahve!"

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.

⁷Kad ih Jahve vidje gdje se poniziše, dođe njegova riječ Šemaji: "Ponizili su se; neću ih uništiti, nego ću im uskoro dati spasenje te se moja srdžba neće oboriti na Jeruzalem preko Šišaka.

⁸Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

⁸Bit će mu sluge, da vide što znači služiti meni, a što zemaljskim kraljevstvima."

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.

⁹Tako egipatski kralj Šišak navali na Jeruzalem, opljačka blago iz Doma Jahvina i riznicu kraljeva dvora; sve je uzeo; uze i zlatne štitove što ih bijaše napravio Salomon.

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.

¹⁰Namjesto njih kralj Roboam napravi tučane štitove i povjeri ih zapovjednicima straže koja je čuvala vrata kraljevskoga dvora.

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.

¹¹Kad je god kralj išao u Dom Jahvin, stražari su ih uzimali, a poslije ih vraćali u stražaru.

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.

¹²Kad se, dakle, ponizio, odvratio se od njega Jahvin gnjev te ga nije sasvim uništio, jer i u Judeji bijaše dobra.

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.

¹³Potom se kralj Roboam utvrdi u Jeruzalemu i stade kraljevati. Roboamu je bila četrdeset i jedna godina kad se zakraljio, a sedamnaest je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu, u gradu koji Jahve izabra između svih izraelskih plemena da ondje postavi Ime svoje. Majka mu se zvala Naama, a bila je Amonka.

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

¹⁴Činio je zlo, jer nije pregnuo srcem da traži Jahvu.

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.

¹⁵Roboamova prva i posljednja djela - i ratovi koji su se neprestano vodili između Roboama i Jeroboama - zapisani su u povijesti proroka Šemaje i u plemenskom popisu vidioca Adona.

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

¹⁶Potom Roboam počinu sa svojim ocima i bi sahranjen u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Abija.
