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

¹V tem času je zbolel 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.

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.

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.”

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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,

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,

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:

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:

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, 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.

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.”’

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

³⁰There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

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.

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.

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.
