Вторая книга Паралипоменон 10
1 И прииде Ровоам в Сихем, зане в Сихем весь Израиль снидеся поставити его царем.
Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as king.
2 И бысть егда услыша Иеровоам сын Наватов, иже бе во Египте, яко убеже от лица Соломона царя, и обита Иеровоам во Египте, и возвратися Иеровоам от Египта.
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 И послаша и призваша его. И прииде Иеровоам и все собрание Израилево ко царю Ровоаму, глаголюще:
And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
4 отец твой ожесточи иго наше, ты же ныне ослаби от работы отца твоего жестокия и от ига его тяжкаго, еже возложи на нас, и послужим тебе.
“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 И рече им: поидите даже до триех дний и приидите ко мне. И отидоша людие.
But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,
6 И собра царь Ровоам старейшины, иже стояху пред Соломон отцем его, егда еще живяше, глаголя: каков вы даете совет отвещати людем сим?
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 И реша ему: аще днесь будеши во благое людем сим, и благоугодиши, и речеши им словеса благая, то послужат тебе во вся дни.
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 И остави совет старейшин, егоже совещаша ему: и советоваше со юношами, иже с ним воспитани бяху и стояху пред ним,
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 и рече к ним: что вы собетуете, да отвещаю людем сим, иже реша мне, глаголюще: облегчи иго, еже наложи на ны отец твой?
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 И отвещаша ему отроцы воспитаннии с ним, глаголюще: тако речеши людем, ихже рекоша тебе, глаголюще: отец твой отягчи иго наше, ты же облегчи нам: тако отвещай к ним: менший перст мой толстее есть чресл отца моего:
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 отец мой наложи вам тяжкое иго, аз же (тягости) приложу на иго ваше: отец мой бил вас бичми, аз же буду бити вас скорпионами.
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 И прииде Иеровоам и вси людие к Ровоаму в день третий, якоже повеле им царь, глаголя: возвратитеся ко мне в день третий.
Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.
13 И отвеща царь жестоко, и остави царь Ровоам совет старейшин, и рече к ним по совету юнош, глаголя:
And the king responded harshly, abandoning the counsel of the elders.
14 отец мой отяготи иго ваше, аз же приложу к нему: отец мой бил вас бичми, аз же бити буду вы скорпионами.
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 И не послуша царь людий, яко бе превращение от Бога, глаголя: возстави Господь слово Свое, еже глагола рукою Ахии Силониты о Иеровоаме сыне Наватове
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 и о всем Израили, зане не послуша царь их. И отвещаша людие ко царю, глаголюще: кая нам часть в Давиде и наследие в сыне Иессееве? Возвратися в жилища твоя, Израилю, ныне смотри дому твоего, Давиде. И иде весь Израиль в жилища своя.
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 Мужие же Израилевы, иже обитаху во градех Иудиных, воцариша над собою Ровоама.
But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah.
18 И посла царь Ровоам к ним Адонирама бывша над даньми, и камением побиша его сынове Израилевы, и умре. И услыша царь Ровоам, и потщася взыти на колесницу, и побеже во Иерусалим.
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 И отвержеся Израиль от дому Давидова даже до дне сего.
And Israel withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.
