2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehobo'am was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom again to Rehobo'am.
Ke Tokosra Rehoboam el sun acn Jerusalem, el pangoneni siofok oalngoul tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun ke sruf lal Benjamin ac Judah. El akoo elan som mweuni sruf lun layen epang in Israel, in folokonak ku lal in leum faclos.
2 But the word of the Lord came unto Shema'yahu the man of God, saying,
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel mwet palu Shemaiah
3 Say unto Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, the king of Judah and Benjamin, saying,
elan sang kas se inge nu sel Tokosra Rehoboam ac mwet nukewa in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin:
4 Thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight with your brethren: return every man to his house; for from me hath this thing been brought about. And they hearkened to the words of the Lord, and returned from going against Jerobo'am.
“Nik kowos som lain mwet Israel wiowos. Kowos nukewa folokla nu yen suwos an. Ma sikyak ingan ma lungse luk.” Elos akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac tia som mweunel Jeroboam.
5 And Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities as fortresses in Judah.
Rehoboam el mutana Jerusalem ac sap in kuhlusyukyak siti in acn Judah ac Benjamin inge:
6 He built, namely, Beth-lechem, and 'Etam, and Thekoa'.
Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 And Beth-zur, and Socho, and 'Adullam,
Bethzur, Soco, Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 And Adorayim and Lachish, and 'Azekah,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 And Zor'ah, and Ayalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Zorah, Aijalon, ac Hebron.
11 And he strengthened the strong-holds, and put commanders in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
El oru tuh siti inge in arulana ku, ac el sulela kais sie mwet kol fulat nu in kais sie siti, ac supwala pac mwe mongo ac oil in olive ac wain nu in siti inge nukewa,
12 And in each and every city [he placed] shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong: and thus remained with him Judah and Benjamin.
ac oayapa mwe loang ac osra. Ouinge el sruokya na acn Judah ac Benjamin in oan ye ku lal.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their territory.
Mwet tol ac mwet Levi tuku liki acn nukewa Israel nu Judah in acn eir.
14 For the Levites left their open districts and their possession, and went to Judah and Jerusalem; because Jerobo'am and his sons cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the Lord,
Mwet Levi elos sisla ima lalos ac acn saya pac selos, ac som nu Judah ac Jerusalem, mweyen Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel ac mwet kol tokol elos tia lela elos in oru orekma in mwet tol lun LEUM GOD.
15 And [because] he ordained for himself priests for the high-places, and for the evil spirits, and for the calves which he had made.
Jeroboam el srisrngiya mwet tol lal sifacna, in orekma ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, oayapa elos in alu nu sin demon ac ma sruloala ma el orala in oana luman cow mukul.
16 And after them [came] out of all the tribes of Israel such as directed their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel: these came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Mwet ke kais sie sruf lun Israel su kena yohk in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel elos wi mwet Levi som nu Jerusalem, tuh elos in ku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and brought power to Rehobo'am, the son of Solomon, during three years; for they walked in the way of David and Solomon during three years.
Ma se inge akkeye tokosrai lun Judah, ac ke yac tolu mwet inge elos akkeyal Rehoboam, wen natul Solomon, ac elos moul oana ke elos moul ye koko lal Tokosra David ac Tokosra Solomon.
18 And Rehobo'am took himself as wife Machalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, [and] Abichayil the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehoboam el payukyak sel Mahalath, su papa tumal pa Jerimoth wen natul David, ac nina kial pa Abihail, acn natul Eliab su nutin natul Jesse.
19 And she bore to him sons: Je'ush, and Shamaryah, and Zaham.
Oasr wen tolu natultal: Jeush, Shemariah, ac Zaham.
20 And after her did he take Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom; and she bore to him Abiyah, and 'Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Tok kutu el payukyak sel Maacah, acn natul Absalom, ac oasr wen akosr natultal: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, ac Shelomith.
21 And Rehobo'am loved Ma'achah the daughter of Abshalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Oasr mutan singoul oalkosr kial, ac mutan kulansap onngoul kial, ac el papa tumun wen longoul oalkosr ac acn onngoul. Inmasrlon mutan kial ac mutan kulansap kial, el lungse yohk Maacah.
22 And Rehobo'am appointed Abiyah the son of Ma'achah to be the chief, to be ruler among his brethren; because [he desired] to make him king.
El kuloel Abijah, wen natul Maacah, yohk liki nukewa wen natul saya, ac el sulella mu el pa ac aolul in tokosra.
23 And he dealt understandingly, and dispersed all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance and he required [for them] a multitude of wives.
Rehoboam el lalmwetmet ke el sang orekma kunen wen natul inge, ac oakelosi ke siti nukewa ma el kuhlasak in acn Judah ac Benjamin. Pukanten ma el sang nu selos, ac el oayapa sulela mutan pus kialos.
