2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
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.
2 But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
To wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:
3 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto modak Juda kod Benjamin,
4 Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren; return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
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 ma ok gidhi kedo kod Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Rehoboam nodak Jerusalem kendo nogero mier masiro Juda ndalo lweny kaka:
6 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Beth Zur, Soko, Adulam,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gath, Maresha, Zif,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraim, Lakish, Azeka,
10 and Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Zora, Aijalon, kod Hebron. Magi ne mier mochiel gohinga motegno e piny Juda kod Benjamin.
11 And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and of oil and wine;
Nochielogi motegno moketo jotend jolweny kuno kaachiel gi kar kano chiemo, mo zeituni kod divai.
12 and in every several city, targets and spears, and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
Noketo okumbini kod tonge e miechgi duto kendo nomiyo gibedo motegno. Kuom mano jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin ne joge.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their districts;
Jodolo kaachiel gi jo-Lawi manodak kuonde mopogore opogore mag jo-Israel noriwe lwedo.
14 for the Levites left their suburbs and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exercising the priesthood to Jehovah;
Jo-Lawi nojwangʼo kuondegi mag kweth kod mwandugi kendo negibiro Juda kod Jerusalem nikech Jeroboam gi yawuote noriembogi e tich kaka jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
15 and he ordained for himself priests for the high places, and for the he-goats and for the calves that he had made.
Noyiero jodolo mage mag kuonde motingʼore kendo mondo odolne nyiseche manono manoloso e kit diel gi nyaroya.
16 — And after them, those out of all the tribes of Israel that set their heart to seek Jehovah the God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Jogo manoa e dhout jo-Israel mane oketo chunygi kuom dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel, noluoro jo-Lawi nyaka Jerusalem mondo gitim misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong three years; for during three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
Ne gitego loch Juda kendo kuom higni adek negimiyo Rehoboam wuod Solomon obedo motegno ka giwuotho e yor Daudi kod Solomon e kindeno.
18 And Rehoboam took Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David as wife, [and of] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
Rehoboam nonywomo Mahalath mane nyar wuod Daudi miluongo ni Jerimoth kendo min mare ne en Abihail ma nyar Eliab wuod Jesse.
19 And she bore him children: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Nonywolone yawuowi magin Jeush, Shemaria kod Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Bangʼe nokendo Maaka nyar Abisalom mane onywolone Abija, Atai, Ziza kod Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehoboam nohero Maaka nyar Abisalom moloyo mondege mamoko kod mon mamoko. Ne en kod mon apar gaboro kaachiel gi mon mamoko piero auchiel, bende ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gaboro kod nyiri piero auchiel.
22 And Rehoboam established Abijah the son of Maachah at the head, to be ruler among his brethren; for [he thought] to make him king.
Rehoboam noyiero Abija wuod Maaka obed jatelo e kind owetene mondo omi obed ruoth.
23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired [for them] a multitude of wives.
Ne otiyo gi rieko kuom keyo yawuote moko e piny jo-Juda kod Benjamin kendo e mier madongo mochiel. Nopogogi mwandu mangʼeny kendo nokendonigi mon mangʼeny.
