< 2 Chronicles 10 >
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Sheche came all Israel to make him king.
Rehoboamu nĩathiire Shekemu, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmathiĩte kuo makamũtue mũthamaki.
2 And when Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat heard it, (which was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Salomon the King) he returned out of Egypt.
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 and called him: so came Ieroboam and all Israel, and communed with Rehoboam, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũmanĩra Jeroboamu, nake Jeroboamu hamwe na Isiraeli rĩothe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Rehoboamu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
4 Thy father made our yoke grieuous: nowe therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, that he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
“Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no rĩu tũhũthĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩu iritũ rĩrĩa atũigĩrĩire na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”
5 And he sayde to them, Depart yet three dayes, then come againe vnto me. And the people departed.
Rehoboamu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgaacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio magĩthiĩ.
6 And King Rehoboam tooke counsel with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while hee yet liued, saying, What counsell giue ye that I may answere this 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 spake vnto him, saying, If thou be kinde to this people, and please them, and speake louing words to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩtuĩka mũtaana kũrĩ andũ acio, na ũmakenie, na ũmacookerie na njĩra njagĩrĩru-rĩ, megũtũũra maarĩ ndungata ciaku hĩndĩ ciothe.”
8 But hee left the counsel of the ancient men that they had giuen him, and tooke counsell of the yong men that were brought vp with him, and waited on him.
No Rehoboamu akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa athuuri maamũheire, na akĩhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ aanake a riika rĩake arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
9 And he sayd vnto them, What counsel giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to mee, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũngĩndaara atĩa? Andũ acio maranjĩĩra ũũ, ‘Tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thoguo aatũigĩrĩire.’ Tũngĩmacookeria atĩa?”
10 And the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answere the people that spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter for vs: thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loines.
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 Now whereas my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet increase your yoke: my father hath chastised you with roddes, but I will correct you with scourges.
Baba aamũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.’”
12 Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the King had appointed saying, Come againe to me the third day.
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 them sharply: and King Rehoboam left the counsel of the ancient men,
Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria ehĩte mũno. Akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa aaheetwo nĩ athuuri,
14 And spake to them after ye counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, but I wil incease it: my father chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
akĩrũmĩrĩra ũtaaro wa aanake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba nĩamũritũhĩirie icooki, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.”
15 So the king hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of God that the Lord might performe his saying, which hee had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.
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 So when all Isarael sawe that the King would not heare them, the people answered the King, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? for we haue none inheritance in the sonue of Ishai. O Israel, euery man to your tents: now see to thine owne house, Dauid. So all Israel departed to their tents.
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 Howbeit Rehoboam reigned ouer the children of Israel, that dwelt in the cities of Iudah.
No andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmathamakĩra.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was ouer the tribute, and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
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 rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makoretwo maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.
