LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και ηλθεν ροβοαμ εις συχεμ οτι εις συχεμ ηρχετο πας ισραηλ βασιλευσαι αυτον	1 Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as 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 But when Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (indeed he had fled to that place from Solomon) had heard it, he promptly returned.
3 και απεστειλαν και εκαλεσαν αυτον και ηλθεν ιεροβοαμ και πασα η εκκλησια ισραηλ προς ροβοαμ λεγοντες	3 And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
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 pressed upon us a very difficult yoke. You should govern us more lightly than your father, who imposed on us a heavy servitude, and so lift up some of the burden, so that we may serve you.”
5 και ειπεν αυτοις πορευεσθε εως τριων ημερων και ερχεσθε προς με και απηλθεν ο λαος	5 But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,
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 he took counsel with the elders, who had stood before his father Solomon while he was still living, saying, “What counsel would you give to me, so that I may respond to the 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 And they said to him, “If you please this people, and if you soothe them with words of clemency, they will be your servants for all days.”
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 set aside the counsel of the elders, and he began to have discussion with the youth, who had been raised with him and who were among his companions.
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 And he said to them: “How does it seem to you? Or how should I respond to this people, who have said to me, ‘Lift up the yoke that your father imposed upon us?’ ”
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 But they responded like youths, having been raised with him in luxury, and they said: “So shall you speak to the people, who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy; you should lighten it,’ and so shall you respond to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
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 My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, and I will place more weight upon it. My father cut you with whips; truly, 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 Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.
13 και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς σκληρα και εγκατελιπεν ο βασιλευς ροβοαμ την βουλην των πρεσβυτερων	13 And the king responded harshly, abandoning the counsel of the elders.
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 And he spoke according to the will of the youths: “My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, which I will make heavier. My father cut you with whips; truly, 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 And he did not acquiesce to the pleadings of the people. For it was the will of God that his word be fulfilled, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
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 Then the entire people, speaking more harshly to the king, spoke to him in this way: “There is no portion for us in David, and there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your dwellings, O Israel. Then you, O David, shall pasture your own house.” And Israel went away to their dwellings.
17 και ανδρες ισραηλ οι κατοικουντες εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εβασιλευσεν επ' αυτων ροβοαμ	17 But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were living 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 And king Rehoboam sent Aduram, who was in charge of the tributes. And the sons of Israel stoned him, and he died. And so king Rehoboam hurried to climb into the chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem.
19 και ηθετησεν ισραηλ εν τω οικω δαυιδ εως της ημερας ταυτης	19 And Israel withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.
