2 Weche Mag Ndalo 12

1 Bangʼe kane Rehoboam nosegurore motegno kaka ruoth, en kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto negijwangʼo chike Jehova Nyasaye.

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 Nikech negiweyo rito chike Jehova Nyasaye, Shishak ruodh Misri nomonjo Jerusalem e higa mar abich mar loch Ruoth Rehoboam.

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)

3 Nobiro gi geche lweny alufu achiel gi mia ariyo kod jolweny moidho farese alufu piero auchiel kod jolweny mangʼeny ma ok kwanre mawuotho mag jo-Libya gi jo-Suk kod Kush bende nobiro kode koa Misri,

With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.

4 mokawo miech Juda mochiel motegno mobiro nyaka Jerusalem.

And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Eka janabi Shemaya nobiro ir Rehoboam kod jotelo mag Juda mano chokore Jerusalem nimar luoro nomakogi nikech Shishak kendo nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ‘Useweya omiyo an bende koro aweyou e lwet Shishak.’”

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

6 Jotend jo-Israel kod ruoth nobolore kawacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kare.”

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

7 Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno ni negibolore kamano, wach mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya niya, “Nikech gisebolore e nyima ok anatiekgi to abiro resogi bangʼ ndalo manok. Mirimba ok nool Jerusalem koa e lwet Shishak.

And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

8 Kata kamano ginibed e bwo lochne mondo gingʼe pogruok manie kind tiyona kod tiyone ruodhi mag pinje mamoko.”

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

9 Kane Shishak ruodh jo-Misri omonjo Jerusalem, noyako mwandu hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi mwandu mag od ruoth. Nokawo gimoro amora kaachiel gi kuodi mag dhahabu mane Solomon ochuogo.

So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,

10 Omiyo Ruoth Rehoboam nochwogo okumbni mag nyinyo mondo oket kar mane okawgo kendo nomiyo jotelo mag jorit mane rito rangach midonjogo e dala ruoth.

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

11 E kinde moro amora mane ruoth dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, joritogo ne tingʼo kuodigo kendo bangʼe negidwokogi e od jorito.

And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

12 Nikech Rehoboam nobolore, mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nowuok kuome kendo ne ok otieke chutho. To bende ne nitie gik moko mabeyo Juda.

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

13 Ruoth Rehoboam nogurore motegno Jerusalem kendo nodhi nyime kaka ruoth. Ne en ja-higni piero angʼwen gachiel kane obedo ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni apar gabiriyo ka en Jerusalem dala maduongʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero kuom dhout jo-Israel duto mondo Nyinge obedie. Min mare ne nyinge Naama ma nyar jo-Amon.

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

14 Notimo richo nikech ne ok oketo chunye mondo odwar Jehova Nyasaye.

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

15 Kuom weche mag loch Rehoboam aa chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, donge ondikgi e kitap Shemaya janabi kod mar Ido janen mandiko nonro mag ji? Ne nitiere lweny ma ok rum e kind Rehoboam gi Jeroboam.

Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16 Rehoboam notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Abija wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
