2 Chronicles 12
1 And it came to pass, when Rehobo'am had established the kingdom, and when he had become strong, that he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
Rehobowamu atakhazikika monga mfumu nakhaladi wamphamvu, iyeyo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse anasiya malamulo a Yehova.
2 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehobo'am, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, —because they had acted faithlessly against the Lord, —
Chifukwa anakhala osakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova, Sisaki mfumu ya dziko la Igupto inathira nkhondo Yerusalemu mʼchaka chachisanu cha mfumu Rehobowamu.
3 With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen: and innumerable were the people that came with him out of Egypt—the Lubim, the Sukkiyim, and the Ethiopians.
Sisakiyo anabwera ndi magaleta 1,200 ndi anthu okwera akavalo 60,000 ndiponso asilikali osawerengeka ochokera ku Libiya, Suki ndi Kusi amene anabwera naye kuchokera ku Igupto.
4 And he captured the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and he came as far as Jerusalem.
Iye analanda mizinda yotetezedwa ya Yuda ndipo anafika mpaka ku Yerusalemu.
5 And Shem'ayah the prophet came to Rehobo'am, and the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Ye have indeed forsaken me, and therefore have I also relinquished you into the hand of Shishak.
Ndipo mneneri Semaya anabwera kwa Rehobowamu ndi kwa atsogoleri a Yuda amene anasonkhana mu Yerusalemu chifukwa cha Sisaki ndipo iye anawawuza kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Inu mwandisiya, choncho Inenso ndakusiyani ndi kukuperekani kwa Sisaki.’”
6 Thereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.
Atsogoleri a Israeli pamodzi ndi mfumu anadzichepetsa nati, “Yehova ndi wolungama.”
7 And when the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, then came the word of the Lord to Shem'ayah, saying, “They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will permit some little to escape from them; and my wrath shall not be poured out over Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.”
Yehova ataona kuti adzichepetsa, anayankhula ndi Semaya kuti, “Pakuti adzichepetsa, Ine sindiwawononga koma posachedwapa ndiwapulumutsa. Sinditsanulira ukali wanga pa Yerusalemu kudzera mwa Sisaki.
8 However they shall be servants unto him, and they shall know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
Komabe iwo adzakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake, kuti aphunzire kudziwa kusiyanitsa pakati pa kutumikira Ine ndi kutumikira mafumu a mayiko ena.”
9 And so came up Shishak the king of Egypt against Jerusalem, and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house: every thing did he take away; and he took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
Sisaki mfumu ya dziko la Igupto atathira nkhondo Yerusalemu, iye anatenga chuma cha mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi chuma cha mʼnyumba yaufumu. Iye anatenga zinthu zonse kuphatikizapo zishango zagolide zimene Solomoni anapanga.
10 And king Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of copper, and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners, who kept guard at the door of the king's house.
Ndipo mfumu inapereka zishango zamkuwa kwa oyangʼanira mʼmalo mwake ndipo iwo anazipereka kwa oyangʼanira alonda amene amayangʼanira pa chipata cha nyumba yaufumu.
11 And it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, that the runners came and bore them, and carried them back into the apartment of the runners.
Nthawi ina iliyonse imene mfumu ikupita ku Nyumba ya Yehova, alonda amapita nayo atanyamula zishango, ndipo kenaka amakazibwezera ku chipinda cha alonda.
12 And when he had humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so that he destroyed him not to make an end [of him]: and also in Judah were some good things [found].
Pakuti mfumu Rehobowamu inadzichepetsa, mkwiyo wa Yehova unamuchokera, sanawonongedweretu. Kunena zoona, munali zinthu zina zabwino mu Yuda.
13 And king Rehobo'am strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehobo'am was one and forty years old when he became king, and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess.
Mfumu Rehobowamu anayika maziko a ufumu wake mwamphamvu mu Yerusalemu ndipo anapitirira kukhala mfumu. Iye anali ndi zaka 41 pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira zaka 17 mu Yerusalemu, mzinda wa Yehova umene anasankha pakati pa mafuko a Aisraeli mmene Yehova anakhazikikamo. Dzina la amayi ake linali Naama, amene anali Mwamoni.
14 And he did the evil; because he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
Rehobowamu anachita zoyipa chifuwa mtima wake sunafunefune Yehova.
15 And the acts of Rehobo'am, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Shem'ayah the prophet, and of 'Iddo, the seer concerning the genealogies. And the wars of Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am [lasted] all the days.
Ntchito za Rehobowamu, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka pa mapeto, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri la mneneri Semaya ndi mlosi Ido amene amalemba mbiri? Panali nkhondo yosatha pakati pa Rehobowamu ndi Yeroboamu.
16 And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abiyah his son became king in his stead.
Rehobowamu anamwalira, ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo mwana wake Abiya analowa ufumu mʼmalo wake.
