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.
Nígbà tí Rehoboamu dé Jerusalẹmu, ó kó ilé Juda àti Benjamini jọ, ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ènìyàn tí a yàn, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ológun, láti bá Israẹli jà kí ó lè mú ìjọba náà padà bọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God:
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Ṣemaiah ènìyàn Ọlọ́run wá wí pé,
3 “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin
“Wí fún Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni ọba Juda, sí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní Juda àti Benjamini,
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.
‘Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí. Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ láti lọ jà pẹ̀lú arákùnrin yín, ẹ lọ sílé, gbogbo yín, nítorí ti ìṣe mi nìyí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì padà sẹ́yìn láti yan lọ dojúkọ Jeroboamu.
5 Rehoboam continued to live in Jerusalem, and he built up cities for defense in Judah.
Rehoboamu ń gbe ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì kọ́ àwọn ìlú fún olódi ní Juda.
6 He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Bẹtilẹhẹmu, Etamu, Tekoa,
7 Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,
Beti-Suri, Soko, Adullamu,
8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
Gati, Meraṣa Sifi,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Adoraimu, Lakiṣi, Aseka
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, the fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
Sora, Aijaloni, àti Hebroni. Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ìlú ìdáàbòbò ní Juda àti Benjamini.
11 He strengthened their fortresses and put officers in them, with supplies of food, oil, and wine.
Ó sì mú àwọn ìlú olódi lágbára, ó sì fi àwọn balógun sínú wọn àti àkójọ oúnjẹ, àti òróró àti ọtí wáìnì.
12 He also put shields and spears in all the cities and strengthened them greatly. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Àti ní olúkúlùkù ìlú ni ó fi asà àti ọ̀kọ̀ sí, ó sì mú wọn lágbára gidigidi, ó sì ní Juda àti Benjamini lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
13 Moreover, the priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel stood with Rehoboam.
Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi, láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà wọn jákèjádò Israẹli wà ní ẹ̀bá rẹ̀.
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.
Àwọn ará Lefi fi ìgbèríko sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu nítorí Jeroboamu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ti kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa.
15 And Jeroboam appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat demons and calf idols he had made.
Ó sì yan àwọn àlùfáà tirẹ̀ fún àwọn ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti fún àwọn ère òbúkọ, àti fún ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí ó ṣe.
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.
Àwọn tó wá láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli tí wọ́n fi ọkàn wọn fún wíwá Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tẹ̀lé àwọn ará Lefi lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba a wọn.
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.
Ó fún ìjọba Juda ní agbára, ó sì ti Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni lẹ́yìn fún ọdún mẹ́ta nítorí ọdún mẹ́ta ni wọ́n fi rìn ní ọ̀nà ti Dafidi àti Solomoni ní àkókò yí.
18 And Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab.
Rehoboamu fẹ́ Mahalati tí ó jẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Dafidi Jerimoti bi àti ti Abihaili, ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Jese Eliabu bí.
19 She bore sons to him: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Ó bí àwọn ọmọ fún un: Jeuṣi, Ṣemariah àti Sahamu.
20 After her, he married Maacah daughter of Absalom, and she bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Nígbà náà, ó fẹ́ Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu, tí ó bí Abijah fún Attai, Sisa àti Ṣelomiti.
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.
Rehoboamu fẹ́ràn Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu ju èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìyàwó rẹ̀ àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀ lọ. Ní gbogbo rẹ̀, ó ní ìyàwó méjìdínlógún àti ọgọ́ta àlè ọmọkùnrin méjìdínlọ́gbọ̀n àti ọgọ́ta ọmọbìnrin.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.
Rehoboamu yan Abijah ọmọ Maaka láti jẹ́ olóyè ọmọ-aládé láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, kí ó ba à lè ṣe é ní ọba.
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.
Ó hùwà ọlọ́gbọ́n, nípa fí fọ́n díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ jákèjádò ká àwọn agbègbè Juda àti Benjamini àti sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú ńlá olódi. Ó fún wọn ní ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí wọ́n fẹ́, ó sì fẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ìyàwó fún wọn.
