1 Ruodhi 12
1 Rehoboam nodhi Shekem, nimar jo-Israel duto nodhi kuno mondo okete ruoth.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Kane Jeroboam wuod Nebat nowinjo wachni (ne pod en Misri kuma noringo odhiye koa kuom ruoth Solomon), noduogo koa Misri.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was yet in Egypt, wither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
3 Omiyo negioro joote ir Jeroboam mi en kaachiel gi oganda duto mar Israel nodhi ir Rehoboam mi giwachone niya,
and they sent and called him; ) that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Wuonu nomiyowa tingʼ mapek, to koro yie iket tingʼ mapekno kod tij achunano obednwa mayot, to wabiro tiyoni.”
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehoboam nodwoko niya, “Dhiuru kuom ndalo adek bangʼe dwoguru ira.” Bangʼe negia ma gidhi.
And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
6 Eka Ruoth Rehoboam nonono jodongo manotiyo e bwo wuon-gi Solomon kapod ongima. Nopenjogi niya, “Ere kaka unyalo ngʼadona rieko mondo adwok jogi?”
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 Negidwoke niya, “Ka kawuono ibiro doko jatich mar jogi mondo itinegi kendo kimiyogi dwoko mowinjore, to gibiro bedo jotichni ndalo duto.”
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 To Rehoboam nodagi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone kendo nopimo wach gi mbesene mane odongogo kendo ne tiyone.
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
9 Nopenjogi niya, “Un to uneno nangʼo? Ere kaka dwadwok jogi mawacho ni, ‘Dwok chien tingʼ mapek mane wuonu oketo kuomwa’?”
And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?
10 Mbesene mane odongogo nodwoke niya, “Dwok jogo mosekwayi ni, ‘Wuonu noketo tingʼ mapek kuomwa, yie iket tingʼni obed mayot.’ Koro nyisgi ni, ‘Lith lweta matin duongʼ moloyo nungo wuonwa.
And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
11 Wuonwa noketo kuomu tingʼ mapek; an to abiro medo pekne moloyo. Wuonwa nochwadou gi boka, an to abiro chwadou malit makecho ka thomoni.’”
And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Bangʼ ndalo adek Jeroboam kod oganda duto noduogo ir Rehoboam mana kaka ruoth nosewacho niya, “Dwoguru ira bangʼ ndalo adek.”
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 Ruoth nodwoko jogo gi gero. Notamore tiyo gi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone,
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him;
14 moluwo rieko mbesene mowacho niya, “Wuonwa nomiyou tingʼ mapek, an to abiro miyou tingʼ mapek moloyo. Wuonwa nochwadou gi boka an to abiro chwadou malit ka thomoni makecho.”
and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions;
15 Omiyo ruoth ne ok odewo kwayo mar ji, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ema nomiyo mano otimore mondo ochop wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho gi dho Ahija ja-Shilo ne Jeroboam wuod Nebat.
So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Kane jo-Israel duto noneno ni ruoth nodagi winjo wachgi, negidwoko ruoth niya, “Wat mane moriwowa kod Daudi, angʼo moriwowa gi wuod Jesse? Doguru e hembeu, yaye jo-Israel! Rituru dhoutu uwegi, yaye oganda Daudi!” Kuom mano jo-Israel nodok e miechgi.
And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
17 To ni jo-Israel mane odak e mier mag Juda, Rehoboam ne pod jatendgi.
But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Ruoth Rehoboam nooro Adoniram mane jarit joma ichuno mondo oti githuon, to jo-Israel duto nochiele gi kite motho. Kata kamano ruoth Rehoboam nonwangʼo thuolo moidho gache nyaka Jerusalem mondo otony.
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Kuom mano Israel nongʼanyo ni joka Daudi nyaka chil kawuono.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
20 Kane jo-Israel duto nowinjo ni Jeroboam ne osedwogo, ne giorone jaote ma giluonge e chokruok, kendo gikete ruodh jo-Israel duto. Mana dhood Juda kende ema nodongʼ jo-adiera ni od Daudi.
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
21 Kane Rehoboam ochopo Jerusalem, nochoko dhood Juda gi dhood Benjamin, chwo maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro kendo gidhi giked gi jo-Israel mondo gidwok loch ni Rehoboam wuod Solomon pinyruodhe.
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22 To wach Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 “Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi dhood Juda kod dhood Benjamin gi oganda duto ni,
Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
24 ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: Kik udhi utug lweny gi oweteu ma jo-Israel. Doguru e miechu, ngʼato ka ngʼato, nimar ma osetimore nikech an.’” Omiyo negiwinjo wach Jehova Nyasaye mi gidok e miechgi kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko.
Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
25 Eka Jeroboam nochielo ohinga motegno molworo Shekem e piny manie wi gode mag Efraim mi nodak kuno. Bangʼe noa kanyo modhi mogero Peniel.
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
26 Jeroboam noparo kende owuon mowacho niya, “Loch nyalo dok e lwet dhood Daudi.
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 Ka jogi odhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem mondo gichiw misengini, to chunygi biro dok ni ruodhgi, ma en Rehoboam ruodh Juda. Gibiro nega mi gidog ni Ruoth Rehoboam.”
if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they shall kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Bangʼ dwaro rieko, ruoth noloso nyiroye ariyo mag dhahabu. Nowacho ni ji niya, “Ok en gima yot mondo udhi Jerusalem. Nyisecheu nika mane ogolou kua Misri, yaye Israel.”
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
29 Achiel noket Bethel to machielo noket Dan.
And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
30 Kendo gino nodoko richo; nimar ji nodhi kata mana nyaka Dan mondo gilam gimane ni kuno.
And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, even unto Dan.
31 Jeroboam nogero kuonde mitimoe misango mane ni kuonde motingʼore kendo noyiero jodolo kuom ogendini mopogore opogore kata obedo ni ne ok gin jo-Lawi.
And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Nochako nyasi mar sawo chiengʼ mar apar gabich mar dwe mar aboro machal gi nyasi mar sawo mitimo Juda, mi notimo misengini e kendo mar misango. Ma notimo Bethel kotimo misango ni nyiroye mane oseloso. Kendo bende noketo jodolo Bethel e kuonde motingʼore mane oseloso.
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 Chiengʼ mar apar gabich mar dwe mar aboro, dwe mane oyiero en owuon, notimo misengini e kendo mar misango mane oloso Bethel. Kamano bende noketo nyasi mar sawo ni jo-Israel mi nodhi e kendo mar misango mondo otim misengini.
And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense.
