Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition Biblija Hrvatski
1 When the rule of Rehoboam was established and was strong, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.1 Kad je Roboam utvrdio kraljevstvo i ojačao, napustio je Jahvin zakon i on i sav Izrael s njim.
2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem2 Ali pete godine Roboamova kraljevanja navali egipatski kralj Šišak na Jeruzalem, koji se bijaše iznevjerio Jahvi.
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the people were without number who came with him from Egypt--Libyans, Sukki-im, and Ethiopians.3 Došao 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.
4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.4 Osvojivši tvrde judejske gradove, dopro je do Jeruzalema.
5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.'"5 Tada 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.’«
6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD is righteous."6 Tada se poniziše izraelski knezovi i kralj i rekoše: »Pravedan je Jahve!«
7 When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah: "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.7 Kad 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.
8 Nevertheless they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."8 Bit će mu sluge, da vide što znači služiti meni, a što zemaljskim kraljevstvima.«
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made;9 Tako 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.
10 and King Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.10 Namjesto njih kralj Roboam napravi mjedene štitove i povjeri ih zapovjednicima straže koja je čuvala vrata kraljevskoga dvora.
11 And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom.11 Kad je god kralj išao u dom Jahvin, stražari su ih uzimali, a poslije ih vraćali u stražaru.
12 And when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah.12 Kad se, dakle, ponizio, odvratio se od njega Jahvin gnjev te ga nije sasvim uništio, jer i u Judeji bijaše dobra.
13 So King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.13 Potom 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.
14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.14 Činio je zlo, jer nije pregnuo srcem da traži Jahvu.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.15 Roboamova 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.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.16 Potom Roboam počinu sa svojim ocima i bî sahranjen u Davidovu gradu; na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Abija.
