1 Kings 12
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem. For in that place, all of Israel had gathered to appoint him as king.
Rehoboam nodhi Shekem, nimar jo-Israel duto nodhi kuno mondo okete ruoth.
2 Yet truly, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, while he was still in Egypt as a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned from Egypt.
Kane Jeroboam wuod Nebat nowinjo wachni (ne pod en Misri kuma noringo odhiye koa kuom ruoth Solomon), noduogo koa Misri.
3 And they sent and called him. Therefore, Jeroboam went, with the entire multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
Omiyo negioro joote ir Jeroboam mi en kaachiel gi oganda duto mar Israel nodhi ir Rehoboam mi giwachone niya,
4 “Your father imposed a very harsh yoke upon us. And so, you should now take away a little from the very harsh rule of your father and from his very grievous yoke, which he imposed upon us, and we will serve you.”
“Wuonu nomiyowa tingʼ mapek, to koro yie iket tingʼ mapekno kod tij achunano obednwa mayot, to wabiro tiyoni.”
5 And he said to them, “Go away, until the third day, and then return to me.” And when the people had gone away,
Rehoboam nodwoko niya, “Dhiuru kuom ndalo adek bangʼe dwoguru ira.” Bangʼe negia ma gidhi.
6 king Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had assisted before his father Solomon while he was still living. And he said, “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people?”
Eka Ruoth Rehoboam nonono jodongo manotiyo e bwo wuon-gi Solomon kapod ongima. Nopenjogi niya, “Ere kaka unyalo ngʼadona rieko mondo adwok jogi?”
7 They said to him, “If today you will obey and serve this people, and yield to their petition, and if you will speak lenient words to them, they will be your servants for all days.”
Negidwoke niya, “Ka kawuono ibiro doko jatich mar jogi mondo itinegi kendo kimiyogi dwoko mowinjore, to gibiro bedo jotichni ndalo duto.”
8 But he abandoned the counsel of the old men, which they had given to him. And he consulted the young men who had been raised with him, and who were assisting him.
To Rehoboam nodagi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone kendo nopimo wach gi mbesene mane odongogo kendo ne tiyone.
9 And he said to them: “What counsel do you give to me, so that I may respond to this people, who have said to me: ‘Make light the yoke that your father imposed on us?’”
Nopenjogi niya, “Un to uneno nangʼo? Ere kaka dwadwok jogi mawacho ni, ‘Dwok chien tingʼ mapek mane wuonu oketo kuomwa’?”
10 And the young men who had been raised with him, said: “You shall speak in this way to this people, who have spoken to you, saying: ‘Your father weighed down our yoke. You should relieve us.’ You shall say this to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
Mbesene mane odongogo nodwoke niya, “Dwok jogo mosekwayi ni, ‘Wuonu noketo tingʼ mapek kuomwa, yie iket tingʼni obed mayot.’ Koro nyisgi ni, ‘Lith lweta matin duongʼ moloyo nungo wuonwa.
11 And now, my father placed a heavy yoke upon you, but I will add more upon your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.’”
Wuonwa noketo kuomu tingʼ mapek; an to abiro medo pekne moloyo. Wuonwa nochwadou gi boka, an to abiro chwadou malit makecho ka thomoni.’”
12 Therefore, Jeroboam and all the people went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as the king had spoken, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
Bangʼ ndalo adek Jeroboam kod oganda duto noduogo ir Rehoboam mana kaka ruoth nosewacho niya, “Dwoguru ira bangʼ ndalo adek.”
13 And the king responded to the people harshly, leaving behind the counsel of the elders that they had given to him.
Ruoth nodwoko jogo gi gero. Notamore tiyo gi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone,
14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: “My father weighed down your yoke, but I will add more to your yoke. My father cut you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.”
moluwo rieko mbesene mowacho niya, “Wuonwa nomiyou tingʼ mapek, an to abiro miyou tingʼ mapek moloyo. Wuonwa nochwadou gi boka an to abiro chwadou malit ka thomoni makecho.”
15 And the king did not acquiesce to the people. For the Lord had turned him away, so that he might raise up his word, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
Omiyo ruoth ne ok odewo kwayo mar ji, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ema nomiyo mano otimore mondo ochop wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho gi dho Ahija ja-Shilo ne Jeroboam wuod Nebat.
16 And so the people, seeing that the king had not been willing to listen to them, responded to him, saying: “What part do we have in David? Or what inheritance do we have in the son of Jesse? Go to your own tents, O Israel. Now David, see to your own house.” And Israel went away to their own tents.
Kane jo-Israel duto noneno ni ruoth nodagi winjo wachgi, negidwoko ruoth niya, “Wat mane moriwowa kod Daudi, angʼo moriwowa gi wuod Jesse? Doguru e hembeu, yaye jo-Israel! Rituru dhoutu uwegi, yaye oganda Daudi!” Kuom mano jo-Israel nodok e miechgi.
17 But over all the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned.
To ni jo-Israel mane odak e mier mag Juda, Rehoboam ne pod jatendgi.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute. And all of Israel stoned him, and he died. Therefore, king Rehoboam hurrying, climbed into the chariot, and fled to Jerusalem.
Ruoth Rehoboam nooro Adoniram mane jarit joma ichuno mondo oti githuon, to jo-Israel duto nochiele gi kite motho. Kata kamano ruoth Rehoboam nonwangʼo thuolo moidho gache nyaka Jerusalem mondo otony.
19 And Israel drew away from the house of David, even to the present day.
Kuom mano Israel nongʼanyo ni joka Daudi nyaka chil kawuono.
20 And it happened that, when all of Israel had heard that Jeroboam had returned, gathering an assembly, they sent and called him, and they appointed him as king over all of Israel. And no one followed the house of David, except the tribe of Judah alone.
Kane jo-Israel duto nowinjo ni Jeroboam ne osedwogo, ne giorone jaote ma giluonge e chokruok, kendo gikete ruodh jo-Israel duto. Mana dhood Juda kende ema nodongʼ jo-adiera ni od Daudi.
21 Then Rehoboam went to Jerusalem, and he gathered together the entire house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand elect men of war, so that they might fight against the house of Israel, and might bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.
Kane Rehoboam ochopo Jerusalem, nochoko dhood Juda gi dhood Benjamin, chwo maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro kendo gidhi giked gi jo-Israel mondo gidwok loch ni Rehoboam wuod Solomon pinyruodhe.
22 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:
To wach Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:
23 “Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah, and to Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:
“Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi dhood Juda kod dhood Benjamin gi oganda duto ni,
24 ‘Thus says the Lord: You shall not go up, and you shall not make war against your brothers, the sons of Israel. Let each man return to his own house. For this word came from me.’” And they listened to the word of the Lord, and they returned from the journey, as the Lord had instructed them.
‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: Kik udhi utug lweny gi oweteu ma jo-Israel. Doguru e miechu, ngʼato ka ngʼato, nimar ma osetimore nikech an.’” Omiyo negiwinjo wach Jehova Nyasaye mi gidok e miechgi kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko.
25 Then Jeroboam built up Shechem, on mount Ephraim, and he lived there. And departing from there, he built up Penuel.
Eka Jeroboam nochielo ohinga motegno molworo Shekem e piny manie wi gode mag Efraim mi nodak kuno. Bangʼe noa kanyo modhi mogero Peniel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David,
Jeroboam noparo kende owuon mowacho niya, “Loch nyalo dok e lwet dhood Daudi.
27 if this people ascend to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem. And the heart of this people will be converted to their lord Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and they will put me to death, and return to him.”
Ka jogi odhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem mondo gichiw misengini, to chunygi biro dok ni ruodhgi, ma en Rehoboam ruodh Juda. Gibiro nega mi gidog ni Ruoth Rehoboam.”
28 And devising a plan, he made two golden calves. And he said to them: “No longer choose to ascend to Jerusalem. Behold, these are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt!”
Bangʼ dwaro rieko, ruoth noloso nyiroye ariyo mag dhahabu. Nowacho ni ji niya, “Ok en gima yot mondo udhi Jerusalem. Nyisecheu nika mane ogolou kua Misri, yaye Israel.”
29 And he stationed one in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
Achiel noket Bethel to machielo noket Dan.
30 And this word became an occasion of sin. For the people went to adore the calf, even to Dan.
Kendo gino nodoko richo; nimar ji nodhi kata mana nyaka Dan mondo gilam gimane ni kuno.
31 And he made shrines on the high places, and he made priests out of the lowest people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboam nogero kuonde mitimoe misango mane ni kuonde motingʼore kendo noyiero jodolo kuom ogendini mopogore opogore kata obedo ni ne ok gin jo-Lawi.
32 And he appointed a solemn day in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, in imitation of the solemnity that was celebrated in Judah. And ascending to the altar, he acted similarly in Bethel, so that he immolated to the calves, which he had made. And in Bethel, he appointed priests of the high places, which he had made.
Nochako nyasi mar sawo chiengʼ mar apar gabich mar dwe mar aboro machal gi nyasi mar sawo mitimo Juda, mi notimo misengini e kendo mar misango. Ma notimo Bethel kotimo misango ni nyiroye mane oseloso. Kendo bende noketo jodolo Bethel e kuonde motingʼore mane oseloso.
33 And he ascended to the altar, which he had raised up in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the day that he had decided in his own heart. And he made a solemnity to the sons of Israel, and he ascended to the altar, so that he might burn incense.
Chiengʼ mar apar gabich mar dwe mar aboro, dwe mane oyiero en owuon, notimo misengini e kendo mar misango mane oloso Bethel. Kamano bende noketo nyasi mar sawo ni jo-Israel mi nodhi e kendo mar misango mondo otim misengini.
