2 Chronicles 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
1ΚΑΙ ἦλθε Ροβοὰμ εἰς Συχέμ, ὅτι εἰς Συχὲμ ἤρχετο πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν.
2And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon — that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
2καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ναβάτ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, ὡς ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαλωμὼν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου.
3And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
3καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ροβοὰμ λέγοντες·
4'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
4ὁ πατήρ σου ἐσκλήρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν, καὶ νῦν ἄφες ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τοῦ πατρός σου τῆς σκληρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ζυγοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ βαρέος, οὗ ἔδωκεν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς, καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι.
5And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And the people departed.
5καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορεύεσθε ἕως τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔρχεσθε πρός με· καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ λαός.
6And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
6καὶ συνήγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοὺς ἑστηκότας ἐναντίον τοῦ Σαλωμὼν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ζῆν αὐτὸν λέγων· πῶς ὑμεῖς βουλεύεσθε τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ λόγον;
7And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
7καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες· ἐὰν ἐν τῇ σήμερον γένῃ εἰς ἀγαθὸν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ καὶ εὐδοκήσῃς καὶ λαλήσῃς αὐτοῖς λόγους ἀγαθούς, καὶ ἔσονταί σοι παῖδες πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
8But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
8καὶ κατέλιπε τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, οἳ συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ συνεβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν συνεκτραφέντων μετ' αὐτοῦ τῶν ἑστηκότων ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
9And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
9καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ὑμεῖς βουλεύεσθε καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι λόγον τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, οἳ ἐλάλησαν πρός με λέγοντες· ἄνες ἀπὸ τοῦ ζυγοῦ, οὗ ἔδωκεν ὁ πατήρ σου ἐφ' ἡμᾶς;
10And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
10καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἐκτραφέντα μετ' αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὕτως λαλήσεις τῷ λαῷ τῷ λαλήσαντι πρός σε λέγων· ὁ πατήρ σου ἐβάρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν καὶ σὺ ἄφες ἀφ' ἡμῶν, οὕτως ἐρεῖς· ὁ μικρὸς δάκτυλός μου παχύτερος τῆς ὀσφύος τοῦ πατρός μου·
11And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
11καὶ νῦν ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ζυγῷ βαρεῖ, κἀγὼ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὸν ζυγὸν ἡμῶν, ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξι κἀγὼ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις.
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'
12καὶ ἦλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ροβοὰμ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς λέγων· ἐπιστρέψατε πρός με ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ.
13And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
13καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς σκληρά, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων
14and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
14καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν νεωτέρων λέγων· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐβάρυνε τὸν ζυγὸν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐγὼ προσθήσω ἐπ' αὐτόν, ὁ πατήρ μου ἐπαίδευσεν ὑμᾶς ἐν μάστιξι καὶ ἐγὼ παιδεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις.
15So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, ὅτι ἦν μεταστροφὴ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· ἀνέστησε Κύριος τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀχιὰ τοῦ Σηλωνίτου περὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ
16And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.
16καὶ παντὸς Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῶν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων· τίς ἡμῶν ἡ μερὶς ἐν Δαυὶδ καὶ κληρονομία ἐν υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί; εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ· νῦν βλέπε τὸν οἶκόν σου, Δαυίδ. καὶ ἐπορεύθη πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ·
17But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπ' αὐτῶν Ροβοάμ.
18Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς Ροβοὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Ἀδωνιρὰμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ φόρου, καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λίθοις καὶ ἀπέθανε. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ ἔσπευσε τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ φυγεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
19So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
19καὶ ἠθέτησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυὶδ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
