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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.’”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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