2 Chronicles 12
1 After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.
Thuutha wa Rehoboamu kwĩhaanda ta mũthamaki na gũkorwo agĩte na hinya, we hamwe na Isiraeli yothe nĩmatiganĩirie watho wa Jehova.
2 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem
Tondũ wa gũkorwo matarĩ ehokeku harĩ Jehova, Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire Jerusalemu mwaka wa gatano wa Mũthamaki Rehoboamu.
3 with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
Aarĩ na ngaari cia mbaara 1,200 na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi 60,000, na thigari itangĩtarĩka cia kuuma Alubi, na Asukii, na Akushi arĩa mookĩte nake kuuma Misiri,
4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
agĩtaha matũũra manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre ma Juda na agĩthiĩ nginya Jerusalemu.
5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’”
Nake mũnabii Shemaia agĩũka kũrĩ Rehoboamu o na kũrĩ atongoria a Juda arĩa moonganĩte kũu Jerusalemu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Shishaka, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩmũndiganĩirie; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na niĩ ngũmũtiganĩria moko-inĩ ma Shishaka.’”
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”
Atongoria a Isiraeli hamwe na mũthamaki makĩĩnyiihia, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩ wa kĩhooto.”
7 When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Kuona atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndikũmananga no nĩngũmahonokia o narua. Mangʼũrĩ makwa matigũitĩrĩrio Jerusalemu na kũhũthĩra guoko gwa Shishaka.
8 Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
No rĩrĩ, megũtuĩka ndungata ciake, nĩgeetha mamenye ũtiganu wa kũndungatĩra na gũtungatĩra athamaki a mabũrũri ma kũngĩ.”
9 So King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
Rĩrĩa Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri aatharĩkĩire Jerusalemu-rĩ, agĩkuua igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Aakuuire indo ciothe, o hamwe na ngo cia thahabu iria Solomoni aathondekithĩtie.
10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩthondeka ngo cia gĩcango handũ ha icio cia mbere, agĩcinengera anene a arangĩri arĩa maaikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
11 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũthamaki aathiiaga hekarũ ya Jehova-rĩ, arangĩri acio maathiiaga hamwe nake makuuĩte ngo icio, na thuutha wa ũguo magacicookia nyũmba-inĩ ya arangĩri.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
Tondũ Rehoboamu nĩenyiihirie, Jehova nĩamwehereirie marakara make, na ndaigana kũmũniina o biũ. Ti-itherũ nĩ kwarĩ na maũndũ mamwe mega kũu Juda.
13 Thus King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
Mũthamaki Rehoboamu nĩehaandire wega kũu Jerusalemu na agĩthiĩ o na mbere arĩ mũthamaki. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa Jehova aathuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kuo. Nyina etagwo Naama, na aarĩ Mũamoni.
14 And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
Nĩekire maũndũ mooru tondũ ndaatuĩte na ngoro yake kũrongooria Jehova.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
Na ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Rehoboamu kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma Shemaia ũrĩa mũnabii, na ma Ido ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ marĩa maarĩtie ũhoro wa njiarwa? Gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu.
16 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
Rehoboamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo o kũu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Abija agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
