< 2 Chronicles 10 >

1 Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as king.
Rehoboam nodhi Shekem nimar jo-Israel duto nodhi kuno mondo okete ruoth.
2 But when Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (indeed he had fled to that place from Solomon) had heard it, he promptly returned.
Kane Jeroboam wuod Nebat nowinjo wachni (ne en Misri kuma noringo odhiye koa kuom Ruoth Solomon), noduogo koa Misri.
3 And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
Omiyo negioro joote ir Jeroboam, mi nobiro ir Rehoboam kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto mi giwachone niya,
4 “Your father pressed upon us a very difficult yoke. You should govern us more lightly than your father, who imposed on us a heavy servitude, and so lift up some of the burden, so that we may serve you.”
“Wuonu nomiyowa tingʼ mapek, to koro yie iket tingʼ mapekno kod tij achunano obednwa mayot, to wabiro tiyoni.”
5 But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,
Rehoboam nodwoko niya, “Dhi uduog ira bangʼ ndalo adek.” Bangʼe negia ma gidhi.
6 he took counsel with the elders, who had stood before his father Solomon while he was still living, saying, “What counsel would you give to me, so that I may respond to the 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 And they said to him, “If you please this people, and if you soothe them with words of clemency, they will be your servants for all days.”
Negidwoke niya, “Kiyie bedo mangʼwon ne jogi kilombogi kendo kimiyogi dwoko mowinjore, to gibiro bedo jotichni ndalo duto.”
8 But he set aside the counsel of the elders, and he began to have discussion with the youth, who had been raised with him and who were among his companions.
To Rehoboam nodagi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone kendo nopimo wach gi mbesene mane odongogo kendo ne tiyone.
9 And he said to them: “How does it seem to you? Or how should I respond to this people, who have said to me, ‘Lift up the yoke that your father imposed upon us?’”
Nopenjogi niya, “Un to uneno nangʼo? Ere kaka dwadwok jogi mawacho ni, ‘Dwok chien tingʼ mapek mane wuonu oketo kuomwa’?”
10 But they responded like youths, having been raised with him in luxury, and they said: “So shall you speak to the people, who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy; you should lighten it,’ and so shall you respond 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 My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, and I will place more weight upon it. My father cut you with whips; truly, 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 Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.
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 harshly, abandoning the counsel of the elders.
Ruoth nodwokogi kager. Notamore tiyo gi rieko mane jodongo ongʼadone,
14 And he spoke according to the will of the youths: “My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, which I will make heavier. My father cut you with whips; truly, 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 he did not acquiesce to the pleadings of the people. For it was the will of God that his word be fulfilled, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
Omiyo ruoth ne ok odewo kwayo mar ji, nimar Nyasaye ema nomiyo mano otimore mondo ochop wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho gi dho Ahija ja-Shilo ne Jeroboam wuod Nebat.
16 Then the entire people, speaking more harshly to the king, spoke to him in this way: “There is no portion for us in David, and there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your dwellings, O Israel. Then you, O David, shall pasture your own house.” And Israel went away to their dwellings.
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 duto nodok e miechgi.
17 But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah.
To ni jo-Israel mane odak e mier mag Juda, Rehoboam ne pod jatendgi.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Aduram, who was in charge of the tributes. And the sons of Israel stoned him, and he died. And so king Rehoboam hurried to climb into the chariot, and he 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 withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.
Kuom mano Israel nongʼanyo ni joka Daudi nyaka chil kawuono.
