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.
Ma mgbe e mere ka alaeze Rehoboam guzosie ike, mgbe ọ dịkwa ike, ọ hapụrụ iwu Onyenwe anyị ya na ndị Izrel niile.
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
Nʼihi na ha ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị, Shishak eze Ijipt busoro Jerusalem agha nʼafọ nke ise nke ọchịchị eze Rehoboam.
3 with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
O ji otu puku ụgbọ agha na narị abụọ, na ndị agha na-agba ịnyịnya dị puku iri isii, na ndị agha ụkwụ ala, ndị a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ, ndị agha si Libịa, Sukim na Kush, ndị sooro ya site nʼala Ijipt.
4 He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
O merikwara obodo niile e wusiri ike nke Juda ma bịarukwaa Jerusalem.
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.’”
Mgbe ahụ, Shemaya onye amụma bịakwutere Rehoboam na ndịisi Juda niile, ndị zukọtara na Jerusalem nʼihi egwu Shishak, sị ha, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Unu ahapụla m, nʼihi ya, ahapụkwala m unu, nyefee unu nʼaka Shishak.’”
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”
Ndị ndu Izrel na eze wedara onwe ha nʼala sị, “Onye ezi omume ka Onyenwe anyị bụ.”
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.
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị hụrụ otu ha si weda onwe ha nʼala, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere Shemaya, sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na ha ewedala onwe ha nʼala, agakwaghị m ebibi ha kama aga m eme ka ha nwe nzọpụta ngwangwa. Agakwaghị m eji Shishak gosi Jerusalem oke iwe m.
8 Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
Ma otu ọ dị, ha ga-abụrụ ya ohu, ka ha nwe ike mata ọ dị iche dị nʼetiti ijere m ozi na ijere ndị eze ala ọzọ dị iche iche ozi.”
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.
Mgbe Shishak eze Ijipt busoro Jerusalem nʼagha; o bukọrọ akụ niile dị nʼime ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na akụ niile dịkwa nʼụlọeze. Ọ kwakọọrọ ihe niile, werekwa ọta ọlaedo ndị ahụ Solomọn kpụrụ.
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.
Ma eze Rehoboam kpụrụ ọta bronz i ji dochie ndị ahụ, nyefee ha nʼaka ndịisi ndị nche, bụ ndị na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze nche ka a lekọta ha anya.
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.
Mgbe ọbụla eze na-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị nche na-eso ya buru ọta ndị ahụ, emesịa, ha na-ebughachikwa ha nʼime ụlọ ndị nche.
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.
Mgbe eze wedara onwe ya nʼala, iwe Onyenwe anyị na-eweso ya dajụrụ, Ọ laghịkwa ya nʼiyi kpamkpam. Nʼezie, ezi ihe fọdụkwara na 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.
Eze Rehoboam mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ike na Jerusalem na-achịkwa ka eze. Ọ gbara iri afọ anọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze, ọ chịrị afọ iri na asaa na Jerusalem, bụ obodo ahụ Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site nʼetiti ebo niile nke Izrel, bụ ebe ọ ga-akpọkwasị Aha ya. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn.
14 And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
O mere ihe ọjọọ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị mgbe ọbụla o kpebiri nʼobi ya ịchọ Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Rehoboam, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ nke Shemaya onye amụma na nke Ido onye ọhụ ụzọ, nke na-ahụ maka ihe banyere usoro ọmụmụ niile? Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Rehoboam na Jeroboam ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ha.
16 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
Rehoboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Abija nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
