2 Hou Olelesu 11
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.
And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, —to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2 Be Gode da Ea Sia: Alofesu dunu (balofede) Siema: ia ema amane sia: i,
Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
3 “Lihouboua: me amola Yuda amola Bediamini fi dunu huluane ilima amane sia: sima,
Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, —and unto all Israel in Judah and in 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.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back 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.
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, —and built cities for defence, in Judah;
yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa;
and Beth-zur and Soco, and Adullam;
and Gath and Mareshah, and Ziph;
and Adoraim and Lachish, and Azekah;
and Zorah, and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, —as fortified cities.
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.
And he strengthened the fortified places, —and put therein captains, and stores of food, and 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.
and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong, —thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
13 Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu, ilia da Isala: ili soge fisili, ga (south) Yuda sogega misi.
And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries.
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 to Jerusalem, —for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh;
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.
and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons—and for the calves 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.
And, after them—out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, 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 emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, —for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years.
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: ).
And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, —and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse;
19 Lihouboua: me amola Ma: ihala: de elea dunu mano da Yeuse, Siemalaia amola Sa: iha: me.
and she bare him sons, —Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.
20 Fa: no, Lihouboua: me da Ma: iaga (A: basalome idiwi) amo lai. Eleagefelali da Abaidia, A:da: i, Sisa amola Siloumode.
And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom, —and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and 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.
And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines, —and begat 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.
So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren, —yea that he might 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.
So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance, —and asked a multitude of wives.
