< 1 Kings 12 >

1 And Rehobo'am 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 Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, heard of it, (but he was yet in Egypt, whither he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jerobo'am 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 had sent and called him; ) that Jerobo'am and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto Rehobo'am, 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 hard; but do thou now make lighter the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, 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, Go away yet for three days, and then return to me. And the people went away.
El topkolos ouinge, “Kowos foloko tukun len tolu, na nga fah sot top luk nu suwos.” Na elos som.
6 Then consulted king Rehobo'am with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I should give an 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 this day be a servant unto this people, and wilt serve them, and be attentive to them, and speak to them good words; then will they be servants unto thee for all times.
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 consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, those who 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 do you counsel how we should give an answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make lighter the yoke which thy father did put upon us?
El siyuk selos, “Kasru fuka lowos nu sik? Mea nga ac sang topuk mwet ma siyuk nga in akmulalaye mwe utuk lalos?”
10 Then spoke unto him the young men that were grown up with him, saying, Thus must thou say unto this people that have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but do thou make it lighter unto us: thus must 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, if my father hath burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will even add to your yoke; if my father hath chastised you with whips, then will I chastise you with scorpion-thorns.
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 When now Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
Tukun len tolu, Jeroboam ac mwet nukewa folokla nu yorol Tokosra Rehoboam, oana ke el tuh fahk nu selos.
13 The king answered the people harshly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they had advised him;
Tokosra el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac el kaskas na toasr nu sin mwet uh,
14 And he spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will even add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpion-thorns.
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 Thus the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was so brought about from the Lord, in order that he might fulfill his word, which the Lord had spoken by means of Achiyah the Shilonite unto Jerobo'am 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 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people gave the king an answer saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So did Israel go away 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 who dwelt in the cities of Judah, over them did Rehobo'am reign.
na pwanang Rehoboam el tokosra lun mwet na ma muta in acn Judah mukena.
18 Then sent king Rehobo'am Adoram, who was over the tribute; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehobo'am made speed with all his might to get up into 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 did Israel rebel 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 Jerobo'am 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, save the tribe of Judah alone.
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 Rehobo'am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehobo'am 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 Shema'yah the man of God, saying,
Tusruktu God El fahk nu sin mwet palu Shemaiah
23 Say unto Rehobo'am, the son of Solomon, the king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
elan sang kas inge nu sel Rehoboam ac nu sin mwet nukewa in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin:
24 Thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned to go home, 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 And Jerobo'am built Shechem in the mountain of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from there 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 Jerobo'am said in his heart, Now may 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 prepare sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then may the heart of this people turn again unto their Lord, even unto Rehobo'am the king of Judah, and they might kill me, and return to Rehobo'am the 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 he made two calves of gold, and said unto the people, You have been long enough going up to Jerusalem: behold, here are thy gods, O Israel, which have 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 placed 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; and the people went before the one, as far as 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 a house of the high-places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who 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 Jerobo'am made a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he stationed at Beth-el the priests of the high-places whom 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 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had falsely devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast unto the children of Israel, and he went up to the altar, to burn incense.
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.
