2 Chronicles 12
1 And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
Nawai a, no te unga o te kingitanga o Rehopoama, a ka whai kaha ia, whakarerea ake e ia te ture a Ihowa, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
Na i te rima o nga tau o Kingi Rehopoama ka haere mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, kua whakakeke nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa,
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.
Me nga hariata tekau ma rua rau, me nga hoia eke hoiho e ono tekau mano: kahore hoki he tauanga o te hunga i haere tahi mai i a ia i Ihipa; ko nga Rupimi, ko nga Hukiimi, ko nga Etiopiana.
4 And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Na kua riro i a ia nga pa taiepa o Hura, a ka tae ki Hiruharama.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
Katahi a Hemaia poropiti ka haere mai ki a Rehopoama, ki nga rangatira o Hura i huihui nei ki Hiruharama i te wehi i a Hihaka, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua whakarerea ahau e koutou, no reira kua waiho atu koutou e ahau ki te ringa o Hihaka.
6 And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.
Katahi ka whakaiti nga rangatira o Iharaira me te kingi i a ratou, ka mea, He tika a Ihowa.
7 And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
A, no te kitenga o Ihowa kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia; i mea ia, Kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou; e kore ratou e huna e ahau; engari ka hoatu e ahau ki a ratou he oranga, he mea iti nei; e kore hoki toku riri e t ahoroa ki runga ki Hiruharama e te ringa o Hihaka.
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
Otiia ka meinga ratou hei pononga mana; kia mohio ai ratou ki taku mahi, ki te mahi ano a nga kingitanga o nga whenua.
9 And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
Heoi haere ana mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, tangohia ana e ia nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi: riro katoa ana i a ia: tangohia ana ano e ia nga pukupuku koura i hanga nei e Horomona.
10 And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.
Na ka hanga e Kingi Rehopoama etahi pukupuku parahi hei whakakapi mo era, a tukua ana e ia ki te ringa o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, i tiaki nei i te tatau o te whare o te kingi.
11 And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.
Na i te wa i haere ai te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ka haere nga kaitiaki ki te tiki, a whakahokia ana e ratou ki te whare o nga kaitiaki.
12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.
Na i a ia ka whakaiti i a ia, ka tahuri atu te riri o Ihowa i a ia, kia kaua ia e whakangaromia rawatia e ia: he pai hoki nga mea i kitea ki a Hura.
13 And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
Heoi kua u a Kingi Rehopoama ki Hiruharama hei kingi: e wha tekau ma tahi hoki nga tau o Rehopoama i a ia ka meinga hei kingi, a kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i nga iwi katoa o I haraira hei waihotanga iho mo tona ingoa. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni.
14 And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.
He kino tana mahi; kihai hoki i whakatikaia e ia tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa.
15 And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Na, ko nga meatanga a Rehopoama, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Hemaia poropiti, ki ta Iro matakite ano, kei reira nei nga korero whakapapa? Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
Na kua moe a Rehopoama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Apia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
