1 Lihouboua: me da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega doaga: lalu, e da baligili noga: i dadi gagui dunu 180,000 agoane, amo Yuda amola Bediamini fi ilima gilisi. E da gegene, bu ga (north) Isala: ili fi ili bu ouligimusa: dawa: i.
When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Be Gode da Ea Sia: Alofesu dunu (balofede) Siema: ia ema amane sia: i,
But the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 “Lihouboua: me amola Yuda amola Bediamini fi dunu huluane ilima amane sia: sima,
“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 ‘Dilia fidafa Isala: ili dunu ili mae doagala: ma! Dilia huluane diasuga masa! Hou da wali doaga: i amo da Na hanaiga doaga: i.” Ilia huluane da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabi dagoi, amola ilia diasuga buhagi.
‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s words, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Lihouboua: me da Yelusaleme ganodini esalu. Ea sia: beba: le, Yuda dunu da moilai bai bagade hagudu dedei, amo gagili sali: - Bedeleheme, Ida: me, Degoua, Bedese, Siougou, Adala: me, Ga: de, Malisia, Sife, A:doula: me, La: igisi, Asoga, Soula, A:idialone amola Hibalone.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam,
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
11 E da amo huluane gasawane gagili sali, amola afae afae ouligima: ne, ouligisu dunu ilegei. Afae afae amo ganodini, e da ha: i manu, olife susuligi amola waini hano lidili legei.
He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, oil and wine.
12 Amola ea da da: igene ga: su amola goge agei, amo gagili sali moilai bai bagade ganodini lidili legei. E da Yuda fi amola Bediamini fi gasawane ouligima: ne agoane hamosu.
He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
13 Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu, ilia da Isala: ili soge fisili, ga (south) Yuda sogega misi.
The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
14 Lifai fi dunu da ilia ohe fi ilia ha: i nasu soge amola eno soge fisili, Yuda sogega amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega misi. Bai hina bagade Yelouboua: me amola e bagia dunu da ilia Hina Godema gobele salasu hawa: hamomu logo ga: i dagoi.
For the Levites left their pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to the LORD.
15 Yelouboua: me da hi hanaiga, gobele salasu dunu amo da ogogosu ‘gode’ amola wadela: i a: silibu amola ea loboga hamoi bulamagau mano gawali agoai, ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou ouligima: ne, ili ilegei.
He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols which he had made.
16 Isala: ili fi huluane amoga, nowa da Isala: ili Hina Godema moloiwane fa: no bobogemusa: dawa: i, ilia da Isala: ili soge fisili, Lifai fi dunuma fa: no bobogele, Yelusalemega asi. Bai ilia da ilia aowalalia Hina Godema gobele salasu hou hamomusa: hanai galu.
After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
17 Amo dunu da Yuda fima gilisibiba: le, Yuda da gasa bagade ba: i. Ode udianaga, ilia da Soloumane egefe Lihouboua: me fuligala: i. Amola ilia da hina bagade Da: ibidi amola hina bagade Soloumane ela esalebe galu, amo defele, ilia da hahawane esalu.
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
18 Lihouboua: me da Ma: ihala: de lai. Ma: ihala: de ea ada da Yelimode (Da: ibidi egefe). Ea ame da A: biha: ile (Ilaia: be idiwi amola Yesi ea aiya: ).
Rehoboam took a wife for himself, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
19 Lihouboua: me amola Ma: ihala: de elea dunu mano da Yeuse, Siemalaia amola Sa: iha: me.
She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Fa: no, Lihouboua: me da Ma: iaga (A: basalome idiwi) amo lai. Eleagefelali da Abaidia, A:da: i, Sisa amola Siloumode.
After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Lihouboua: me da udadafa 18 agoane lai amola gidisedagi uda 60 agoane lai. Egefelali idi da 28 agoane, amola idiwilali idi da 60 agoane. Hi dogolegeidafa uda da Ma: iaga.
Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Ma: iaga amola egefe Abaidia da Lihouboua: me ea dogolegeidafa. Amaiba: le, Lihouboua: me da Abaidia amo e bagia hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei.
Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.
23 Lihouboua: me da dawa: iwane hamonanusu. E da egefelali ilima hawa: hamosu ilegei. Ea sia: beba: le, ilia da Yuda amola Bediamini soge amola gagili sali moilai bai bagade, amo ganodini ouligisu hawa: hamosu. E da liligi bagade ilima i, amola ilia lama: ne, uda bagohame ilima i.
He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
