2 Weche Mag Ndalo 11

1 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.

And when Rehobo'am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom again to Rehobo'am.

2 To wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:

But the word of the Lord came unto Shema'yahu the man of God, saying,

3 “Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto modak Juda kod Benjamin,

Say unto Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, the king of Judah and Benjamin, saying,

4 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 ma ok gidhi kedo kod Jeroboam.

Thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jerobo'am.

5 Rehoboam nodak Jerusalem kendo nogero mier masiro Juda ndalo lweny kaka:

And Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities as fortresses in Judah.

6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,

He built, namely, Beth-lechem, and 'Etam, and Thekoa'.

7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adulam,

And Beth-zur, and Socho, and 'Adullam,

8 Gath, Maresha, Zif,

And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

9 Adoraim, Lakish, Azeka,

And Adorayim and Lachish, and 'Azekah,

10 Zora, Aijalon, kod Hebron. Magi ne mier mochiel gohinga motegno e piny Juda kod Benjamin.

And Zor'ah, and Ayalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

11 Nochielogi motegno moketo jotend jolweny kuno kaachiel gi kar kano chiemo, mo zeituni kod divai.

And he strengthened the strong-holds, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine;

12 Noketo okumbini kod tonge e miechgi duto kendo nomiyo gibedo motegno. Kuom mano jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin ne joge.

And in each and every city [he placed] shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong: and thus remained with him Judah and Benjamin.

13 Jodolo kaachiel gi jo-Lawi manodak kuonde mopogore opogore mag jo-Israel noriwe lwedo.

And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory.

14 Jo-Lawi nojwangʼo kuondegi mag kweth kod mwandugi kendo negibiro Juda kod Jerusalem nikech Jeroboam gi yawuote noriembogi e tich kaka jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.

For the Levites left their open districts and their possession, and went to Judah and Jerusalem; because Jerobo'am and his sons cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord,

15 Noyiero jodolo mage mag kuonde motingʼore kendo mondo odolne nyiseche manono manoloso e kit diel gi nyaroya.

And [because] he ordained for himself priests for the high-places, and for the evil spirits, and for the calves which he had made.

16 Jogo manoa e dhout jo-Israel mane oketo chunygi kuom dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel, noluoro jo-Lawi nyaka Jerusalem mondo gitim misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.

And after them [came] out of all the tribes of Israel such as directed their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel: these came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord, the God of their fathers.

17 Ne gitego loch Juda kendo kuom higni adek negimiyo Rehoboam wuod Solomon obedo motegno ka giwuotho e yor Daudi kod Solomon e kindeno.

And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and brought power to Rehobo'am, the son of Solomon, during three years; for they walked in the way of David and Solomon during three years.

18 Rehoboam nonywomo Mahalath mane nyar wuod Daudi miluongo ni Jerimoth kendo min mare ne en Abihail ma nyar Eliab wuod Jesse.

And Rehobo'am took himself as wife Machalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and] Abichayil the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

19 Nonywolone yawuowi magin Jeush, Shemaria kod Zaham.

And she bore to him sons: Je'ush, and Shamaryah, and Zaham.

20 Bangʼe nokendo Maaka nyar Abisalom mane onywolone Abija, Atai, Ziza kod Shelomith.

And after her did he take Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom; and she bore to him Abiyah, and 'Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

21 Rehoboam nohero Maaka nyar Abisalom moloyo mondege mamoko kod mon mamoko. Ne en kod mon apar gaboro kaachiel gi mon mamoko piero auchiel, bende ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gaboro kod nyiri piero auchiel.

And Rehobo'am loved Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.

22 Rehoboam noyiero Abija wuod Maaka obed jatelo e kind owetene mondo omi obed ruoth.

And Rehobo'am appointed Abiyah the son of Ma'achah to be the chief, to be ruler among his brethren; because [he desired] to make him king.

23 Ne otiyo gi rieko kuom keyo yawuote moko e piny jo-Juda kod Benjamin kendo e mier madongo mochiel. Nopogogi mwandu mangʼeny kendo nokendonigi mon mangʼeny.

And he dealt understandingly, and dispersed all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and he required [for them] a multitude of wives.
