< 1 Kings 12 >

1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehoboam el som nu Shechem, yen mwet nukewa in sruf epang elos fahsreni nu we in akwalyalak nu ke tokosra.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
Ke Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tuh kaingkunul Solomon ac som nu Egypt, el lohng ke pweng se inge, na el foloko liki acn Egypt.
3 and they sent and called him — that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehoboam, saying:
Mwet in sruf in acn epang sapla solalma, ac elos nukewa som nu yorol Rehoboam, ac fahk nu sel,
4 'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
“Solomon, papa tomom, el tuh arulana akkeokye kut ac filiya mwe utuk toasr facsr. Kom fin akmulalaye mwe utuk inge ac akfisrasryela nu sesr, na kut ac fah kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye.”
5 And he said unto them: 'Depart yet for three days, then come again to me.' And the people departed.
El topkolos ouinge, “Kowos foloko tukun len tolu, na nga fah sot top luk nu suwos.” Na elos som.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
Tokosra Rehoboam el som in eis nunak sin mwet matu su tuh mwet kasru fulat lal Solomon, papa tumal. El siyuk selos, “Top fuka kowos nunku mu fal nga in sang topuk mwe siyuk lun mwet uh?”
7 And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
Ac elos fahk, “Kom fin lungse kasru mwet inge, kom sang sie top ma elos ac insewowo kac, na pacl nukewa elos ac kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
Tusruktu Rehoboam el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac som nu yurin mwet fusr su matwalna ac welul kapkapak, ac inge elos mwet kasru lal.
9 And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
El siyuk selos, “Kasru fuka lowos nu sik? Mea nga ac sang topuk mwet ma siyuk nga in akmulalaye mwe utuk lalos?”
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
Ac elos fahk, “Pa inge ma kom ac fahk nu selos uh: ‘Kuf srisrik soko ke pouk uh, yohk liki infulwen papa tumuk.’
11 And now whereas my father did burden you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
Fahk pac nu selos mu, ‘Papa tumuk el tuh filiya mwe utuk toasr nu fowos, a nga ac oru in toasr liki. El tuh puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke mwe sringsring oasr osra kac!’”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'
Tukun len tolu, Jeroboam ac mwet nukewa folokla nu yorol Tokosra Rehoboam, oana ke el tuh fahk nu selos.
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him;
Tokosra el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac el kaskas na toasr nu sin mwet uh,
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
in oana ma mwet fusr uh fahk su sel. El fahk, “Papa tumuk el filiya mwe utuk toasr nu fowos, a nga ac oru in toasr liki na. El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke mwe sringsring oasr osra kac!”
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa inge, tuh in sikyak oana ma El tuh fahk nu sel Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, in kas lun Ahijah, mwet palu Shiloh. Pa inge sripa se sis tokosra el tiana lohang nu sin mwet uh.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So Israel departed unto their tents.
Ke mwet uh liye lah tokosra el tiana lohngolos, na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Tolulla David ac sou lal! Wanginna sripaltal nu sesr! Mwet Israel, kut folokelik nu yen sesr! Sang Rehoboam elan sifacna fosrngakunul!” Ouinge mwet Israel elos forla lainul tokosra,
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
na pwanang Rehoboam el tokosra lun mwet na ma muta in acn Judah mukena.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Na Tokosra Rehoboam el supwalla Adoniram, su kol orekma lun mwet kohs, elan som nu yurin mwet Israel, na elos tanglal nwe ke el misa. Ke sripa se inge Rehoboam el sulaklak na sroang nu fin chariot natul, ac kaingla nu Jerusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
In pacl sac me, mwet in sruf nukewa epang in Israel, elos alein na nu sin mwet leum in fwil natul David.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
Ke pacl se mwet Israel lohngak lah Jeroboam el foloko Egypt me, elos solalma nu ke tukeni lalos, ac elos akwalyalak elan tokosra lalos mwet Israel. Sruf lal Judah mukena pa srakna orekma nu sin mwet in fwil natul David.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, be assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Ke Rehoboam el sun acn Jerusalem el pangoneni siofok oalngoul tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin. El nunku elan som mweuni sruf in acn epang, elan sifil folokonak ku lal in leum faclos.
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
Tusruktu God El fahk nu sin mwet palu Shemaiah
23 'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying:
elan sang kas inge nu sel Rehoboam ac nu sin mwet nukewa in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin:
24 Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; return every man to his house; for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
“Nimet mweuni mwet Israel wiowos. Kowos nukewa folokelik nu yen suwos an. Ma sikyak inge ma lungse luk!” Na elos nukewa akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac folokelik nu yen selos.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
Tokosra Jeroboam el kuhlasak siti srisrik Shechem infulan eol in acn Ephraim, ac muta we ke kitin pacl. Na el som liki acn we ac kuhlasak pac siti srisrik Penuel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart: 'Now will the kingdom return to the house of David.
El sifacna motkwe mu, “Inge tokosrai uh ku na in mau folokyang nu sin mwet in fwil natul David.
27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn back unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.'
Mwet inge fin fahsrna nu Jerusalem in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD ke Tempul, na insialos ac ku na in sifil forla nu sel Tokosra Rehoboam, leum lalos in Judah, na elos ac uniyuwi.”
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them: 'Ye have gone up long enough to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
Tukun el nunku ke ma inge, na el orala ma sruloala gold in luman cow mukul lukwa, ac fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Fal tari pacl ma kowos foroht forma nwe Jerusalem in alu we. Mwet Israel, pa inge god lowos, su uskowosme liki acn Egypt!”
29 And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
Na el filiya sie ma sruloala inge in acn Bethel, ac ma se ngia in acn Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
Ma inge sie ma koluk, lah mwet uh elos alu nu sin ma sruloala inge in acn Bethel ac Dan.
31 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboam el oayapa musaela acn in alu fineol uh, ac el sulela mwet tol su tia ma in sruf lun Levi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, to sacrifice unto the calves that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.
Jeroboam el oayapa oakiya sie len in kufwa nu selos, su oasr ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem akoalkosr, in oapana len in kufwa in acn Judah. El som nu Bethel ac orek kisa fin loang we nu sin ma sruloala gold in luman cow mukul lukwa ma el orala. Ac el filiya mwet tol in oru ma kunalos ke nien alu ma el tuh musaela in acn Bethel.
33 And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to offer.
Ac ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem akoalkosr, len se ma el sifacna oakiya, el som nu Bethel ac orek kisa fin loang uh, in akfulatye len in kufwa se su el oakiya nu sin mwet Israel.
