2 Chronicles 12
1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
At nangyari, nang matatag ang kaharian ni Roboam at siya'y malakas, na kaniyang iniwan ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at ang buong Israel ay kasama niya.
2 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
At nangyari nang ikalimang taon ng haring Roboam, na si Sisac na hari sa Egipto ay umahon laban sa Jerusalem, sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa Panginoon,
3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.
Na may isang libo at dalawang daang karo, at anim na pung libong mangangabayo. At ang bayan ay walang bilang na naparoong kasama niya mula sa Egipto; ang mga Lubim, ang mga Sukim, at ang mga taga Etiopia.
4 And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
At sinupok niya ang mga bayang nakukutaan na nauukol sa Juda, at naparoon sa Jerusalem.
5 Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
Si Semeias nga na propeta ay naparoon kay Roboam, at sa mga prinsipe ng Juda, na pagpipisan sa Jerusalem dahil kay Sisac, at nagsabi sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Inyo akong pinabayaan, kaya't iniwan ko naman kayo sa kamay ni Sisac.
6 And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
Nang magkagayo'y ang mga prinsipe ng Israel at ang hari ay nagpakababa; at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay matuwid.
7 And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
At nang makita ng Panginoon na sila'y nangagpakumbaba, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Semeias, na sinasabi, Sila'y nangagpakumbaba; hindi ko gigibain sila: kundi aking bibigyan sila ng kaunting pagliligtas, at ang aking galit ay hindi mabubugso sa Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Sisac.
8 Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
Gayon ma'y sila'y magiging kaniyang alipin; upang kanilang makilala ang paglilingkod sa akin, at ang paglilingkod sa mga kaharian ng mga lupain.
9 And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Sisac na hari sa Egipto laban sa Jerusalem, at dinala ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari; kaniyang kinuhang lahat: kaniyang kinuha pati ng mga kalasag na ginto na ginawa ni Salomon.
10 In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
At ang haring Roboam ay gumawa ng mga kalasag na tanso na kahalili ng mga yaon, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga kamay ng mga punong kawal ng bantay, na nagsisipagingat ng pintuan ng bahay ng hari.
11 And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
At nangyari, na kung gaanong kadalas pumapasok ang hari sa bahay ng Panginoon, ang bantay ay naparoroon at dinadala ang mga yaon, at ibinabalik sa silid ng bantay.
12 Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
At nang siya'y magpakumbaba, ang galit ng Panginoon ay nahiwalay sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y hindi lubos na pinatay: at bukod dito'y may nasumpungan sa Juda na mga mabuting bagay.
13 Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
Sa gayo'y ang haring Roboam ay nagpakalakas sa Jerusalem at naghari: sapagka't si Roboam ay may apat na pu't isang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at siya'y nagharing labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, na bayang pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat na lipi ng Israel, upang ilagay ang kaniyang pangalan doon: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita.
14 But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
At siya'y gumawa ng masama, sapagka't hindi niya inilagak ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang Panginoon.
15 Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
Ang mga gawa nga ni Roboam, na una at huli, di ba nangasusulat sa kasaysayan ni Semeias na propeta at ni Iddo na tagakita, ayon sa ayos ng mga talaan ng lahi? At nagkaroong palagi ng mga digmaan si Roboam at si Jeroboam.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
At si Roboam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang at nalibing sa bayan ni David: at si Abias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
