2 Hou Olelesu 10
1 Isala: ili ga (north) fi dunu huluane da Lihouboua: me hina bagade hamomusa: , Siegeme moilai bai bagadega gilisila misi. Lihouboua: me da amoga asi.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, because all the Israelites had gone to Shechem to make him king.
2 Be Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe - e da Soloumaneba: le Idibidi sogega hobea: i) e da amo hou nababeba: le, Idibidi soge fisili, buhagi.
Jeroboam, son of Nebat, was still in Egypt when he heard about this. (He had run away to Egypt to escape from King Solomon and was living there.)
3 Isala: ili ga (north) fi huluane da e ilima misa: ne sia: na asi. Amalalu, ilia da gilisili Lihouboua: mema asili, amane sia: i,
The Israelite leaders sent for him. Jereboam and all the Israelites went to talk with Rehoboam.
4 “Dia ada Soloumane da ninima gasa fili hamobeba: le, ninia dioi bagade nabasu. Di da amo gasa fili olelesu hou fisili, amola ninia dioi hagilisisia, amola nini asabole esaloma: ne hamosea, ninia da dima molole fa: no bobogemu.”
“Your father placed a heavy burden on us,” they told him. “But now if you lighten the load your father imposed and the heavy demands he laid on us, we will serve you.”
5 Lihouboua: me da bu adole i, “Na da eso udiana esalu, bu masea, dilima bu adole imunu.” Amaiba: le, ilia da fisili asi.
Rehoboam answered, “Come back in three days time.” So the people left.
6 Hina bagade Lihouboua: me da asigilai dunu (amo da musa: ea ada Soloumane ea fada: i sia: fidisu dunu) ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia adi dawa: bela: ? Na da amo dunuma adi adole ima: bela: ?”
King Rehoboam asked for advice from the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive. “How do you advise me to reply to these people about this?” he asked.
7 Ilia amane adole i, “Di da amo dunu fi noga: le fidimusa: dawa: sea, di ilia adole ba: su amoma asigiwane bu adole ima. Amasea ilia da eso huluane dima molole hawa: hamomu.”
They replied, “If you treat these people well, and please them by speaking kindly to them, they will always serve you.”
8 Be Lihouboua: me da asigilai dunu, ilia fada: i sia: hame nabi. Be amomane e da ayeligi dunu e ili gilisili asigilai, ilia sia: fawane nabi. Bai e da ayeligi dunu ili amo ea fada: i sia: fidisu dunu hamoi.
But Rehoboam dismissed the advice of the elders. He instead asked advice from the young men who he had grown up with, and who were close to him.
9 E da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da nama adi hamoma: ne fada: ne sia: sala: ? Amo dunu ilia da nama, ilia asabole esaloma: ne hamoma: ne sia: sa. Na da ilima adi sia: ma: bela: ?”
He asked them, “What response do you advise that we send back to these people who have told me, ‘Lighten the burden your father put on us’?”
10 Ilia da bu adole i, “Di ilima amane adole ima, ‘Dilia da na ada da gasa fili hamosu dawa: sala: ? Hame mabu! Na lobo sogo fonobahadi ea defei da na ada ea buluga: su dedei amo baligisa.’
The young men who he had grown up with told him, “This is what you have to tell these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our burden heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should answer them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!
11 Amola ilima eno adole ima, ‘Dafawane! Na ada da dili dioi bagade nabima: ne hamoi. Be na da dioi bagade baligili dilima imunu. Na ada da dili fegasu efe amoga fai. Be na da fegasu efe bagadedafa amoga dili famu!’”
My father placed a heavy burden on you, and I will make it even heavier. My father punished you with whips; I will punish you with scorpions.’”
12 Eso osoda baligili, Yelouboua: me amola dunu huluane, hina bagade Lihouboua: me ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ema sinidigi.
Three days later, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, because the king had told them, “Come back in three days time.”
13 Lihouboua: me da asigilai dunu ilia fada: i sia: mae dawa: le, dunu huluane ilima gasa fili sia: i.
The king answered them sharply. Dismissing the advice of the elders,
14 E da ayeligi ilia fada: i sia: defele sia: i. E amane sia: i. “Dilia da na ada da gasa fili hamosu dawa: sala: ? Hame mabu! Na lobo sogo fonobahadi ea defei da na ada ea buluga: su defei amo baligisa. Dafawane! Na ada da dili dioi bagade nabima: ne hamoi. Be na da dioi bagade baligili dilima imunu. Na ada da dili fegasu efe amoga fai. Be na da fegasu efe bagadedafa amoga dili famu!’”
he replied using the advice of the young men. He said, “My father placed a heavy burden on you, and I will make it even heavier. My father punished you with whips; I will punish you with scorpions.”
15 Hina Gode Ea hanaiga, hou amo E da Siailou Balofede (Gode Sia: Alofesu dunu) Abaidia ea lafidili amo Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe) ema sia: i, amo doaga: i dagoi ba: i. Hina bagade Lihouboua: me da dunu fi ilima gasa fili hamoi, amo ea bai da goea.
The king did not listen to what the people said, for this change in circumstances was from God, to fulfill what Lord had told Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.
16 Dunu huluane da hina bagade da ilia sia: nabimu higa: i, amo ba: beba: le, ilia da amane halale sia: i, “Da: ibidi amola ea sosogo fi fisiagama! Ilia da nini hamedafa fidisu! Isala: ili dunu! Ninia da afia: la: di! Lihouboua: me hisu ouligima: ma!” Isala: ili dunu da amanewane odoga: su.
When all the Israelites saw that the king wasn't listening to them, they told the king: “What share do we have in David, and what part do we have in the son of Jesse? Go home, Israel! You're on your own, house of David!” So all the Israelites went home.
17 Amola Lihouboua: me da dunu fi Yuda soge ganodini, amo fawane ouligimu ba: i.
However, Rehoboam still ruled over the Israelites who lived in Judah.
18 Amalalu, hina bagade Lihouboua: me da udigili sesei hawa: hamosu dunu ilia ouligisu dunu A: dounaila: me amo Isala: ili dunuma asunasi. Be ilia da e igiga gala: le medole legei. Amo ba: beba: le, Lihouboua: me da ea ‘sa: liode’ amo da: iya fila heda: le, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega hobeale asi.
Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam quickly jumped into his chariot and raced back to Jerusalem.
19 Amo eso fa: no, Isala: ili ga (north) fi dunu da Da: ibidi ea ouligisu sosogo fi ilima lelele esalu.
As a result, Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
