< 2 Chronicles 11 >
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Sa’ad da Rehobowam ya iso Urushalima, ya tattara mayaƙa dubu ɗari takwas daga gidan Yahuda da Benyamin, don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila su sāke mai da mulki wa Rehobowam.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
Amma wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ga Shemahiya mutumin Allah.
3 “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin
“Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon sarkin Yahuda da kuma dukan Isra’ilawan da suke a Yahuda da Benyamin,
4 that this is what the LORD says: ‘You are not to go up and fight against your brothers. Each of you must return home, for this word is from Me.’” So they listened to the words of the LORD and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku. Ku tafi gida kowannenku, gama wannan yi na ne.’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji suka kuma koma daga takawa don yaƙi da Yerobowam.
5 Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
Rehobowam ya zauna a Urushalima ya kuma gina garuruwa don kāriya a cikin Yahuda.
6 He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Betlehem, Etam, Tekowa,
7 Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
Bet-Zur, Soko, Adullam,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Adorayim, Lakish, Azeka,
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
Zora, Aiyalon da Hebron. Waɗannan su ne garuruwan katanga a cikin Yahuda da Benyamin.
11 He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
Ya ƙarfafa kāriyarsu ya kuma sa shugabannin mayaƙa a cikinsu, tare da tanadin abinci, man zaitun da kuma ruwan inabi.
12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Ya sa garkuwoyi da māsu a cikin dukan biranen, ya kuma sa suka zama da ƙarfi. Saboda haka Yahuda da Benyamin suka zama nasa.
13 Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
Firistoci da Lawiyawa daga dukan yankuna ko’ina a Isra’ila suka haɗa kai da shi.
14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their possessions and went to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD.
Lawiyawa suka ma bar makiyayansu da mallakarsu, suka zo Yahuda da Urushalima domin Yerobowam da’ya’yansa maza sun ƙi su a matsayin firistocin Ubangiji.
15 And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
Yerobowam ya naɗa firistocinsa domin masujadan kan tudu da kuma domin gumakan nan na akuya da maraƙin da ya yi.
16 Those from every tribe of Israel who had set their hearts to seek the LORD their God followed the Levites to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Waɗanda suke daga kowane kabilar Isra’ila waɗanda suka sa zuciya a kan neman Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka bi Lawiyawa zuwa Urushalima don su miƙa hadayu ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years, because they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Suka ƙarfafa mulkin Yahuda suka kuma goyi bayan Rehobowam ɗan Solomon shekaru uku, suna tafiya a hanyoyin Dawuda da Solomon a wannan lokaci.
18 And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
Rehobowam ya auri Mahalat,’yar Yerimot ɗan Dawuda wadda Abihayil’yar Eliyab ɗan Yesse ta haifa.
19 She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza. Yewush, Shemariya da Zaham.
20 After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Sa’an nan ya auri Ma’aka’yar Absalom, wadda ta haifa masa Abiya, Attai, Ziza da kuma Shelomit.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehobowam ya ƙaunaci Ma’aka’yar Absalom fiye da sauran matansa da ƙwarƙwaransa. Duka-duka dai ya auri mata goma sha takwas da ƙwarƙwarai sittin, yana da’ya’ya maza ashirin da takwas da’ya’ya mata sittin.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.
Rehobowam ya naɗa Abiya ɗan Ma’aka yă zama babba yerima a cikin’yan’uwansa, don dai yă naɗa shi sarki.
23 Rehoboam also acted wisely by dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions and sought many wives for them.
Ya yi hikima, ya watsar da waɗansu’ya’yansa a dukan yankunan Yahuda da Benyamin, da kuma a dukan birane masu katanga. Ya ba su tanadi mai yawa ya kuma aurar musu mata masu yawa.
