10 — 2 Paralipomenon

1And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.Roboamo andò a Sichem: perchè colà erasi adunato tutto Israele per farlo re.AND Roboam went forth into Sichem: for thither al Israel was assembled, to make him king.Profectus est autem Roboam in Sichem: illuc enim cunctus Israël convenerat ut constituerent eum regem. 2And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned.Ma avendo udite queste cose Geroboam figliuolo di Nahath, che era in Egitto (dove si era rifugiato per paura di Salomone), subitamente se ne tornò.Which when Ieraboam the sonne of Nabat had heard, who was in Aegypt (for he was fled thither from Salomon) forthwith he returned.Quod cum audisset Jeroboam filius Nabat, qui erat in Ægypto (fugerat quippe illuc ante Salomonem), statim reversus est. 3And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:E fu fatto chiamare, ed ei si unì con tutto Israele, e parlarono a Roboamo, e dissero:And they called him, & he came with al Israel & spake to Roboam, saying:Vocaveruntque eum, et venit cum universo Israël: et locuti sunt ad Roboam, dicentes: 4Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee.Il padre tuo ci oppresse di durissimo giogo; sia il tuo governo più mite, che quello del padre tuo, il quale ci ha messi in una schiavitù dolorosa; diminuisci tu alcun poco le gravezze, e noi saremo tuoi servi.Thy father pressed vs with a most hard yoke, do thou command lighter thinges then thy father, who layd vpon vs a heauie seruitude, and ease thou a litle of the burden, that we may serue thee.Pater tuus durissimo jugo nos pressit: tu leviora impera patre tuo, qui nobis imposuit gravem servitutem, et paululum de onere subleva, ut serviamus tibi. 5And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,Ed egli disse: Tornate di qui a tre giorni. E quando il popolo si fu ritirato,Who sayd: After three daies returne ye to me. And when the people was gone,Qui ait: Post tres dies revertimini ad me. Cumque abiisset populus, 6He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people?Egli tenne consulta co' seniori, che stavano attorno a Salomone suo padre, mentr'ei vivea, e disse loro: Che mi consigliate voi di rispondere al popolo?he tooke counsel with the Ancientes, which stoode before his father Salomon, whiles he yet liued, saying: What counsel geue you, that I may answer the people?iniit consilium cum senibus qui steterant coram patre ejus Salomone dum adhuc viveret, dicens: Quid datis consilii ut respondeam populo ?

7And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.E quelli gli dissero; Se tu seconderai questo popolo, e gli addolcirai colle buone parole, ei saranno tuoi servi per sempre.Who sayd to him: If thou wilt please this people, and pacific them with wordes of clemencie, they wil serue thee at al times.Qui dixerunt ei: Si placueris populo huic, et leniveris eos verbis clementibus, servient tibi omni tempore. 8But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train.Ma egli abbandonò il consiglio de', vecchi, e cominciò a discorrerla coi giovani, che erano stati allevati con lui, ed erano suoi compagni.But he forsooke the counsel of the Ancientes, and began to treat with yongmen, that had beene brought vp with him, and were in his trayne.At ille reliquit consilium senum, et cum juvenibus tractare cœpit, qui cum eo nutriti fuerant, et erant in comitatu illius. 9And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us?E disse loro: Che ve ne pare? e che debb'io rispondere a questo popolo, che mi dice: Alleggia il giogo impostoci dal padre tuo?And he sayd to them: What semeth to you? or what shal I answer this people, which hath sayd to me: Ease the yoke which thy father layd vpon vs?Dixitque ad eos: Quid vobis videtur ? vel respondere quid debeo populo huic, qui dixit mihi: Subleva jugum quod imposuit nobis pater tuus ? 10But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.Ma quelli come giovani, e allevati con lui nelle delizie, risposero, e dissero: A questo popolo, il quale ti han detto: il padre tuo ha aggravato il nostro giogo, alleggialo tu: dirai, ei risponderai così: Il mio dito mignolo è più grosso, che i fianchi del padre mio.But they answered as yongmen, and brought vp with him in delicanesse, and sayd: Thus shalt thou speake to the people, that sayd to thee: Thy father aggrauated our yoke, doe thou ease it: and thus shalt thou answer them: My least finger is thicker then the loynes of my father.At illi responderunt ut juvenes, et nutriti cum eo in deliciis, atque dixerunt: Sic loqueris populo qui dixit tibi: Pater tuus aggravavit jugum nostrum, tu subleva: et sic respondebis ei: Minimus digitus meus grossior est lumbis patris mei.

11My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.Il padre mio pose sopra di voi un giogo pesante, e io lo aggraverò di più: il padre mio vi batto colle verghe, e io vi strazierò cogli scorpioni.My father layd vpon yow an heauie yoke, and I wil adde a greater weight: my father bette you with scourges, but I wil beate you with scorpions.Pater meus imposuit vobis grave jugum, et ego majus pondus apponam; pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero cædam vos scorpionibus. 12So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.Tornò adunque Geroboam, e tutto il popolo a Roboamo il terzo giorno, com'egli avea loro ordinato.Ieroboam therfore came, and al the people to Roboam the third day, as he had commanded them.Venit ergo Jeroboam et universus populus ad Roboam die tertio, sicut præceperat eis. 13And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.E il re, abbandonato il consiglio dei vecchi, rispose con durezza:And the king answered rough wordes, leauing the counsel of the Ancientes:Responditque rex dura, derelicto consilio seniorum: 14And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.E parlo secondo il parere de' giovani: Il padre mio pose sopra di voi un giogo pesante, e io lo aggraverò di più: il padre mio vi battè colle verghe, e io vi strazierò cogli scorpioni.and he spake according to the yongmens wil: My father layd vpon you a heauie yoke, which I wil make heauier: my father bette you with scourges, but I wil beate you with scorpions.locutusque est juxta juvenum voluntatem: Pater meus grave vobis imposuit jugum, quod ego gravius faciam; pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero cædam vos scorpionibus. 15And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.E non si piegò alle preghiere del popolo: perocché Dio voleva, che si adempisse la sua parola annunziata per bocca di Ahia Silonita a Geroboam figliuolo di Nabath.And he condescended not to the peoples requestes: for it was the wil of God, that his word should be accomplished, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat.Et non acquievit populi precibus: erat enim voluntatis Dei ut compleretur sermo ejus quem locutus fuerat per manum Ahiæ Silonitis ad Jeroboam filium Nabat.

16And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings.Or tutto il popolo alla cruda risposta del re, disse così: Noi non abbiam che fare con Davidde, né da sperar nulla dal figliuolo d'Isai. Torna alle tue tende, o Israele, e tu, o David, governa la tua casa. Così Israele se v'andò alle sue tende.And al the people when the king spake rough wordes, sayd thus vnto him: We haue no part in Dauid, nor inheritance in the sonne of Isai. Returne into thy tabernacles ô Israel, and do thou feede thy house Dauid. And Israel went into their tabernacles.Populus autem universus rege duriora dicente, sic locutus est ad eum: Non est nobis pars in David, neque hæreditas in filio Isai. Revertere in tabernacula tua, Israël; tu autem pasce domum tuam David. Et abiit Israël in tabernacula sua. 17But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.E Roboamo ebbe il regno di que' figliuoli d'Israele, che abitavano nelle città di Giuda.But ouer the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Iuda, Roboam reigned.Super filios autem Israël qui habitabant in civitatibus Juda, regnavit Roboam. 18And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to get up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem.E il re Roboamo mandò (a figliuoli d'Israele) Aduram, che soprintendeva ai tributi; e i figliuoli d'Israele lo lapidarono, ed ei morì. E il re Roboamo salì in tutta fretta sul suo cocchio, e fuggì a Gerusalemme.And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was ouer the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: moreouer king Roboam made hast to get vp into his chariote, and fled into Ierusalem.Misitque rex Roboam Aduram, qui præerat tributis, et lapidaverunt eum filii Israël, et mortuus est: porro rex Roboam currum festinavit ascendere, et fugit in Jerusalem. 19And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.E Israele si separò dalla casa di David, come è anche in oggi.And Israel reuolted from the house of Dauid vntil this day.Recessitque Israël a domo David, usque ad diem hanc.
