< 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.
At nangyari, nang matatag ang kaharian ni Roboam at siya'y malakas, na kaniyang iniwan ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at ang buong Israel ay kasama niya.
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, —
At nangyari nang ikalimang taon ng haring Roboam, na si Sisac na hari sa Egipto ay umahon laban sa Jerusalem, sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa Panginoon,
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.
Na may isang libo at dalawang daang karo, at anim na pung libong mangangabayo. At ang bayan ay walang bilang na naparoong kasama niya mula sa Egipto; ang mga Lubim, ang mga Sukim, at ang mga taga Etiopia.
4 And he captured the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and he came as far as Jerusalem.
At sinupok niya ang mga bayang nakukutaan na nauukol sa Juda, at naparoon sa Jerusalem.
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.
Si Semeias nga na propeta ay naparoon kay Roboam, at sa mga prinsipe ng Juda, na pagpipisan sa Jerusalem dahil kay Sisac, at nagsabi sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Inyo akong pinabayaan, kaya't iniwan ko naman kayo sa kamay ni Sisac.
6 Thereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The Lord is righteous.
Nang magkagayo'y ang mga prinsipe ng Israel at ang hari ay nagpakababa; at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay matuwid.
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.”
At nang makita ng Panginoon na sila'y nangagpakumbaba, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Semeias, na sinasabi, Sila'y nangagpakumbaba; hindi ko gigibain sila: kundi aking bibigyan sila ng kaunting pagliligtas, at ang aking galit ay hindi mabubugso sa Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Sisac.
8 However they shall be servants unto him, and they shall know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
Gayon ma'y sila'y magiging kaniyang alipin; upang kanilang makilala ang paglilingkod sa akin, at ang paglilingkod sa mga kaharian ng mga lupain.
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.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Sisac na hari sa Egipto laban sa Jerusalem, at dinala ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari; kaniyang kinuhang lahat: kaniyang kinuha pati ng mga kalasag na ginto na ginawa ni Salomon.
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.
At ang haring Roboam ay gumawa ng mga kalasag na tanso na kahalili ng mga yaon, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga kamay ng mga punong kawal ng bantay, na nagsisipagingat ng pintuan ng bahay ng hari.
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.
At nangyari, na kung gaanong kadalas pumapasok ang hari sa bahay ng Panginoon, ang bantay ay naparoroon at dinadala ang mga yaon, at ibinabalik sa silid ng bantay.
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].
At nang siya'y magpakumbaba, ang galit ng Panginoon ay nahiwalay sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y hindi lubos na pinatay: at bukod dito'y may nasumpungan sa Juda na mga mabuting bagay.
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.
Sa gayo'y ang haring Roboam ay nagpakalakas sa Jerusalem at naghari: sapagka't si Roboam ay may apat na pu't isang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at siya'y nagharing labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, na bayang pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat na lipi ng Israel, upang ilagay ang kaniyang pangalan doon: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita.
14 And he did the evil; because he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
At siya'y gumawa ng masama, sapagka't hindi niya inilagak ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang Panginoon.
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.
Ang mga gawa nga ni Roboam, na una at huli, di ba nangasusulat sa kasaysayan ni Semeias na propeta at ni Iddo na tagakita, ayon sa ayos ng mga talaan ng lahi? At nagkaroong palagi ng mga digmaan si Roboam at si Jeroboam.
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.
At si Roboam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang at nalibing sa bayan ni David: at si Abias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
