2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehoboamu nĩathiire Shekemu, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmathiĩte kuo makamũtue mũthamaki.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon — that Jeroboam 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; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to 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 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.'
“Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no rĩu tũhũthĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩu iritũ rĩrĩa atũigĩrĩire na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”
5 And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' 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 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?'
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 spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then 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 old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
No Rehoboamu akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa athuuri maamũheire, na akĩhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ aanake a riika rĩake arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
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?'
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũngĩndaara atĩa? Andũ acio maranjĩĩra ũũ, ‘Tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thoguo aatũigĩrĩire.’ Tũngĩmacookeria atĩa?”
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
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 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 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 Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again 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 roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria ehĩte mũno. Akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa aaheetwo nĩ athuuri,
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise 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 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son 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 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; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto 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 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
No andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmathamakĩra.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of 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.
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 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makoretwo maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.
