2 Chronicles 12
1 Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Ma mgbe e mere ka alaeze Rehoboam guzosie ike, mgbe ọ dịkwa ike, ọ hapụrụ iwu Onyenwe anyị ya na ndị Izrel niile.
2 Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,
Nʼihi na ha ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị, Shishak eze Ijipt busoro Jerusalem agha nʼafọ nke ise nke ọchịchị eze Rehoboam.
3 With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.
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 And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.
O merikwara obodo niile e wusiri ike nke Juda ma bịarukwaa Jerusalem.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands 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 Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.
Ndị ndu Izrel na eze wedara onwe ha nʼala sị, “Onye ezi omume ka Onyenwe anyị bụ.”
7 And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of 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 But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the 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 Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which 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 And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
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 went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
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 And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some 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 So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
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 he did evil because his heart was not true to 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, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all 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 went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
Rehoboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Abija nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
