2 Chronicles 10
1 And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.
Rehoboamu nĩathiire Shekemu, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmathiĩte kuo makamũtue mũthamaki.
2 And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon, ) heard it, forthwith he returned.
Rĩrĩa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati aaiguire ũhoro ũcio (tondũ aarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa oorĩire eherere Mũthamaki Solomoni), akiuma kũu Misiri, akĩinũka.
3 And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũmanĩra Jeroboamu, nake Jeroboamu hamwe na Isiraeli rĩothe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Rehoboamu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
4 Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee.
“Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no rĩu tũhũthĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩu iritũ rĩrĩa atũigĩrĩire na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”
5 And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,
Rehoboamu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgaacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio magĩthiĩ.
6 He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people?
Thuutha ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu akĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ athuuri arĩa maatungatagĩra ithe Solomoni rĩrĩa aarĩ muoyo. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩndaara atĩa nĩguo njookerie andũ acio ũhoro?”
7 And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩtuĩka mũtaana kũrĩ andũ acio, na ũmakenie, na ũmacookerie na njĩra njagĩrĩru-rĩ, megũtũũra maarĩ ndungata ciaku hĩndĩ ciothe.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train.
No Rehoboamu akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa athuuri maamũheire, na akĩhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ aanake a riika rĩake arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
9 And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũngĩndaara atĩa? Andũ acio maranjĩĩra ũũ, ‘Tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thoguo aatũigĩrĩire.’ Tũngĩmacookeria atĩa?”
10 But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
Aanake acio a riika rĩake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Cookeria andũ acio makwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Thoguo nĩatũigagĩrĩra icooki iritũ, no wee tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩu,’ ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Kaara gakwa ka mũira nĩ gatungu gũkĩra njohero ya baba.
11 My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
Baba aamũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.’”
12 So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ Jeroboamu na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩcooka kũrĩ Rehoboamu, o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki oigĩte, “Nĩmũgacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.”
13 And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.
Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria ehĩte mũno. Akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa aaheetwo nĩ athuuri,
14 And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
akĩrũmĩrĩra ũtaaro wa aanake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba nĩamũritũhĩirie icooki, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.”
15 And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria andũ acio, tondũ maũndũ macio meekĩkire moimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩguo kiugo kĩhingio kĩrĩa Jehova eerire Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati na kanua ka Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni.
16 And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David, feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire atĩ mũthamaki ũcio nĩarega kũmathikĩrĩria, magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ na igai rĩrĩkũ harĩ Daudi, na nĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩkũ tũrĩ nakĩo harĩ mũrũ wa Jesii? Cooka hema-inĩ ciaku, wee Isiraeli! Wee Daudi-rĩ, menyerera nyũmba yaku wee mwene!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩinũka.
17 But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.
No andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmathamakĩra.
18 And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to gee up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem.
Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩtũma Adoniramu ũrĩa warĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ arĩa maarutithagio wĩra na hinya; no andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, agĩkua. No rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Rehoboamu nĩetharire, akĩhaica ngaari yake ya ita, akĩũrĩra Jerusalemu.
19 And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makoretwo maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.
