LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ηλθεν ροβοαμ εις συχεμ οτι εις συχεμ ηρχετο πας ισραηλ βασιλευσαι αυτον	1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to proclaim him king.
2 και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν ιεροβοαμ υιος ναβατ και αυτος εν αιγυπτω ως εφυγεν απο προσωπου σαλωμων του βασιλεως και κατωκησεν ιεροβοαμ εν αιγυπτω και απεστρεψεν ιεροβοαμ εξ αιγυπτου	2 When Jeroboam, son of Nebat, heard of this in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon, he returned from Egypt.
3 και απεστειλαν και εκαλεσαν αυτον και ηλθεν ιεροβοαμ και πασα η εκκλησια ισραηλ προς ροβοαμ λεγοντες	3 Jeroboam was summoned to the assembly, and he and all Israel said to Rehoboam:
4 ο πατηρ σου εσκληρυνεν τον ζυγον ημων και νυν αφες απο της δουλειας του πατρος σου της σκληρας και απο του ζυγου αυτου του βαρεος ου εδωκεν εφ' ημας και δουλευσομεν σοι	4 "Your father laid a heavy yoke upon us. If you now lighten the harsh service and the heavy yoke that your father imposed on us, we will serve you."
5 και ειπεν αυτοις πορευεσθε εως τριων ημερων και ερχεσθε προς με και απηλθεν ο λαος	5 "In three days," he answered them, "come back to me." When the people had departed,
6 και συνηγαγεν ο βασιλευς ροβοαμ τους πρεσβυτερους τους εστηκοτας εναντιον σαλωμων του πατρος αυτου εν τω ζην αυτον λεγων πως υμεις βουλευεσθε του αποκριθηναι τω λαω τουτω λογον	6 King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had been in the service of his father during Solomon's lifetime, asking, "What answer do you advise me to give this people?"
7 και ελαλησαν αυτω λεγοντες εαν εν τη σημερον γενη εις αγαθον τω λαω τουτω και ευδοκησης και λαλησης αυτοις λογους αγαθους και εσονται σοι παιδες πασας τας ημερας	7 They replied, "If you will deal kindly with this people and give in to them, acceding to their request, they will be your servants forever."
8 και κατελιπεν την βουλην των πρεσβυτερων οι συνεβουλευσαντο αυτω και συνεβουλευσατο μετα των παιδαριων των συνεκτραφεντων μετ' αυτου των εστηκοτων εναντιον αυτου	8 But he ignored the advice the elders had given him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were in his service.
9 και ειπεν αυτοις τι υμεις βουλευεσθε και αποκριθησομαι λογον τω λαω τουτω οι ελαλησαν προς με λεγοντες ανες απο του ζυγου ου εδωκεν ο πατηρ σου εφ' ημας	9 He said to them, "What answer do you advise me to give this people, who have asked me to lighten the yoke my father imposed on them?"
10 και ελαλησαν αυτω τα παιδαρια τα εκτραφεντα μετ' αυτου ουτως λαλησεις τω λαω τω λαλησαντι προς σε λεγων ο πατηρ σου εβαρυνεν τον ζυγον ημων και συ αφες αφ' ημων ουτως ερεις ο μικρος δακτυλος μου παχυτερος της οσφυος του πατρος μου	10 The young men who had grown up with him replied: "This is the answer you should give to this people who have said to you, 'Your father laid a heavy yoke upon us, but do you lighten our yoke'; this you should say to them: 'My little finger is thicker than my father's body.
11 και νυν ο πατηρ μου επαιδευσεν υμας ζυγω βαρει και εγω προσθησω επι τον ζυγον υμων ο πατηρ μου επαιδευσεν υμας εν μαστιγξιν και εγω παιδευσω υμας εν σκορπιοις	11 Whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will make it heavier! My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions!'"
12 και ηλθεν ιεροβοαμ και πας ο λαος προς ροβοαμ τη ημερα τη τριτη ως ελαλησεν ο βασιλευς λεγων επιστρεψατε προς με τη ημερα τη τριτη	12 On the third day, Jeroboam and all the people came back to King Rehoboam as he had instructed them to do.
13 και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς σκληρα και εγκατελιπεν ο βασιλευς ροβοαμ την βουλην των πρεσβυτερων	13 Ignoring the advice the elders had given him, the king gave them a harsh answer,
14 και ελαλησεν προς αυτους κατα την βουλην των νεωτερων λεγων ο πατηρ μου εβαρυνεν τον ζυγον υμων και εγω προσθησω επ' αυτον ο πατηρ μου επαιδευσεν υμας εν μαστιγξιν και εγω παιδευσω υμας εν σκορπιοις	14 speaking to them according to the advice of the young men: "My father laid a heavy yoke on you, but I will make it heavier. My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions."
15 και ουκ ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς του λαου οτι ην μεταστροφη παρα του θεου λεγων ανεστησεν κυριος τον λογον αυτου ον ελαλησεν εν χειρι αχια του σηλωνιτου περι ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ	15 The king would not listen to the people, for this turn of events was divinely ordained to fulfill the prophecy the LORD had uttered to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, through Ahijah the Shilonite.
16 και παντος ισραηλ οτι ουκ ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς αυτων και απεκριθη ο λαος προς τον βασιλεα λεγων τις ημιν μερις εν δαυιδ και κληρονομια εν υιω ιεσσαι εις τα σκηνωματα σου ισραηλ νυν βλεπε τον οικον σου δαυιδ και επορευθη πας ισραηλ εις τα σκηνωματα αυτου	16 When all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king. "What share have we in David? We have no heritage in the son of Jesse. Everyone to your tents, O Israel! Now look to your own house, David!" So all Israel went off to their tents.
17 και ανδρες ισραηλ οι κατοικουντες εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εβασιλευσεν επ' αυτων ροβοαμ	17 Rehoboam, therefore, reigned over only those Israelites who lived in the cities of Judah.
18 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς ροβοαμ τον αδωνιραμ τον επι του φορου και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον οι υιοι ισραηλ λιθοις και απεθανεν και ο βασιλευς ροβοαμ εσπευσεν του αναβηναι εις το αρμα του φυγειν εις ιερουσαλημ	18 King Rehoboam then sent out Hadoram, who was superintendent of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. Rehoboam himself managed to mount his chariot and flee to Jerusalem.
19 και ηθετησεν ισραηλ εν τω οικω δαυιδ εως της ημερας ταυτης	19 Thus Israel has been in rebellion against David's house to this day.
