2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered of the house of Iudah and Beniamin nine score thousande chosen men of warre to fight against Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam.
Na, i te taenga o Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, ka huihuia e ia te whare o Hura raua ko Pineamine, kotahi rau e waru tekau mano; he hunga whiriwhiri, he hunga whawhai, hei whawhai ki a Iharaira, kia hoki ai te kingitanga ki a Rehopoama.
2 But the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia tangata a te Atua; i mea ia,
3 Speake vnto Rehoboam, the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and to all Israel that are in Iudah, and Beniamin, saying,
Korero ki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, kingi o Hura, ki a Iharaira katoa hoki i a Hura, i a Pineamine, mea atu,
4 Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei haere koutou ki runga, kei whawhai ki o koutou tuakana. Hoki atu ki tona whare, ki tona whare; naku hoki tenei mea. Heoi rongo tonu ratou ki nga kupu a Ihowa, a hoki ana, kihai i haere ki te whawhai ki a Ieropoama.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and buylt strong cities in Iudah.
Na ka noho a Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, a hanga ana e ia etahi pa tiaki ki Hura.
6 Hee buylt also Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Nana i hanga a Peterehema, a Etema, a Tekoa,
7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
A Peteturu, a Hoko, a Aturama,
8 And Gath, and Maresha, and Ziph,
A Kata, a Mareha, a Tiwhi,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
A Aroaraima, a Rakihi, a Ateka,
10 And Zorah, and Aialon, and Hebron, which were in Iudah and Beniamin, strong cities.
A Toraha, a Atarono, a Heperona. I a Hura enei raua ko Pineamine, he pa taiepa.
11 And he repaired the strong holdes and put captaines in them, and store of vitaile, and oyle and wine.
I hanga ano e ia kia kaha etahi pa taiepa, whakawhiwhi rawa ki te rangatira mo roto, ki tona nui ano hoki o te kai, o te hinu, o te waina,
12 And in all cities he put shieldes and speares, and made them exceeding strong: so Iudah and Beniamin were his.
Ki te pukupuku, ki te tao ano hoki i roto i tenei pa, i tenei pa; no ka tino kaha rawa; i a ia hoki a Hura raua ko Pineamine.
13 And the Priests and the Leuites that were in all Israel, resorted vnto him out of all their coastes.
Na, ko nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti puta noa i a Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki a ia i o ratou rohe katoa.
14 For the Leuites left their suburbes and their possession, and came to Iudah and to Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes had cast them out from ministring in the Priestes office vnto the Lord.
I whakarerea hoki e nga Riwaiti o ratou wahi i nga pa, me o ratou kainga ake, a haere ana ki Hura, ki Hiruharama: i peia hoki ratou e Ieropoama ratou ko ana tama, kei mahi tohunga ratou ki a Ihowa.
15 And he ordeyned him Priests for the hie places, and for the deuils and for the calues which he had made.
I whakaritea ano e ia etahi tohunga mana ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga koati toa, ki nga kuao kau i hanga e ia.
16 And after the Leuites there came to Ierusalem of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heartes to seeke the Lord God of Israel, to offer vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
Na i muri i a ratou ko te hunga o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira i homai nei i o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua.
17 So they strengthened the kingdome of Iudah, and made Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon mightie, three yeere long: for three yeere they walked in in the way of Dauid and Salomon.
Heoi na ratou i whakau te kingitanga o Hura, i whakakaha hoki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, e toru tau: e toru hoki nga tau i haere ai ratou i te ara o Rawiri raua ko Horomona.
18 And Rehoboam tooke him Mahalath ye daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Ishai,
Na ka tangohia e Rehopoama hei wahine mana a Maharata tamahine a Terimoto tama a Rawiri, a raua ko Apihaira tamahine a Eriapa tama a Hehe;
19 Which bare him sonnes Ieush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Ieuhu, ko Hemaria, ko Tahama.
20 And after her he tooke Maakah ye daughter of Absalom which bare him Abiiah, and Atthai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
A i muri i tenei wahine ka tangohia e ia ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama. Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Apia, ko Atai, ko Tita, ko Heromiti.
21 And Rehoboam loued Maakah ye daughter of Absalom aboue all his wiues and his concubines: for he tooke eighteene wiues, and three score concubines, and begate eyght and twentie sonnes, and three score daughters.
Na ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama ta Rehopoama i matenui ai o ana wahine katoa, o ana wahine iti ano hoki: kotahi tekau ma waru nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine iti; a e rua tekau ma waru ana tama i whanau, e ono tekau nga tamahine.
22 And Rehoboam made Abiiah the sonne of Maakah the chiefe ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him King.
Na ka meinga e Rehopoama ko Apia tama a Maaka hei upoko, hei rangatira, i roto i ona tuakana, teina; ko ia hoki tana i mea ai hei kingi.
23 And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
Na ka mahi tupato ia, a whakamararatia atu ana e ia ana tama ki nga whenua katoa o Hura, o Pineamine, ki nga pa taiepa katoa: nui atu hoki te kai i hoatu e ia ki a ratou. He tokomaha hoki nga wahine i rapua e ia ma ratou.
