2 Weche Mag Ndalo 12
1 Bangʼe kane Rehoboam nosegurore motegno kaka ruoth, en kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto negijwangʼo chike Jehova Nyasaye.
When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, 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.
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
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 sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 mokawo miech Juda mochiel motegno mobiro nyaka Jerusalem.
He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, 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.’”
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
6 Jotend jo-Israel kod ruoth nobolore kawacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kare.”
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
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.
When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Kata kamano ginibed e bwo lochne mondo gingʼe pogruok manie kind tiyona kod tiyone ruodhi mag pinje mamoko.”
Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
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 Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which 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.
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
11 E kinde moro amora mane ruoth dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, joritogo ne tingʼo kuodigo kendo bangʼe negidwokogi e od jorito.
As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
12 Nikech Rehoboam nobolore, mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nowuok kuome kendo ne ok otieke chutho. To bende ne nitie gik moko mabeyo Juda.
When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
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.
So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Notimo richo nikech ne ok oketo chunye mondo odwar Jehova Nyasaye.
He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
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 Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Rehoboam notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Abija wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
