| 1 | And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king. | Profectus est autem Roboam in Sichem: illuc enim cunctus Israël convenerat ut constituerent eum regem. |
| 2 | And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned. | Quod cum audisset Ieroboam filius Nabat, qui erat in Aegypto (fugerat quippe illuc ante Salomonem), statim reversus est. |
| 3 | And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying: | Vocaveruntque eum, et venit cum universo Israël: et locuti sunt ad Roboam, dicentes: |
| 4 | Thy 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. | Pater tuus durissimo iugo nos pressit: tu leviora impera patre tuo, qui nobis imposuit gravem servitutem, et paululum de onere subleva, ut serviamus tibi. |
| 5 | And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone, | Qui ait: Post tres dies revertimini ad me. Cumque abiisset populus, |
| 6 | He 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? | iniit consilium cum senibus qui steterant coram patre eius Salomone dum adhuc viveret, dicens: Quid datis consilii ut respondeam populo? |
| 7 | And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever. | Qui dixerunt ei: Si placueris populo huic, et leniveris eos verbis clementibus, servient tibi omni tempore. |
| 8 | But 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. | At ille reliquit consilium senum, et cum iuvenibus tractare coepit, qui cum eo nutriti fuerant, et erant in comitatu illius. |
| 9 | And 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? | Dixitque ad eos: Quid vobis videtur? vel respondere quid debeo populo huic, qui dixit mihi: Subleva iugum quod imposuit nobis pater tuus? |
| 10 | But 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. | At illi responderunt ut iuvenes, et nutriti cum eo in deliciis, atque dixerunt: Sic loqueris populo qui dixit tibi: Pater tuus aggravavit iugum nostrum, tu subleva: et sic respondebis ei: Minimus digitus meus grossior est lumbis patris mei. |
| 11 | My 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. | Pater meus imposuit vobis grave iugum, et ego maius pondus apponam; pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero caedam vos scorpionibus. |
| 12 | So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them. | Venit ergo Ieroboam et universus populus ad Roboam die tertio, sicut praeceperat eis. |
| 13 | And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients. | Responditque rex dura, derelicto consilio seniorum: |
| 14 | And 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. | locutusque est iuxta iuvenum voluntatem: Pater meus grave vobis imposuit iugum, quod ego gravius faciam; pater meus cecidit vos flagellis, ego vero caedam vos scorpionibus. |
| 15 | And 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. | Et non acquievit populi precibus: erat enim voluntatis Dei ut compleretur sermo eius quem locutus fuerat per manum Ahiae Silonitis ad Ieroboam filium Nabat. |
| 16 | And 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. | Populus autem universus rege duriora dicente, sic locutus est ad eum: Non est nobis pars in David, neque haereditas in filio Isai. Revertere in tabernacula tua, Israël; tu autem pasce domum tuam David. Et abiit Israël in tabernacula sua. |
| 17 | But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda. | Super filios autem Israël qui habitabant in civitatibus Iuda, regnavit Roboam. |
| 18 | And 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 gee up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem. | Misitque rex Roboam Aduram, qui praeerat tributis, et lapidaverunt eum filii Israël, et mortuus est: porro rex Roboam currum festinavit ascendere, et fugit in Ierusalem. |
| 19 | And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day. | Recessitque Israël a domo David, usque ad diem hanc. |
