1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all Israel has come to Shechem to make him king.
Na ka haere a Rehopoama ki Hekeme: kua tae hoki a Iharaira katoa ki Hekeme ki te whakakingi i a ia.
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat’s hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he has fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwells in Egypt),
A, no te rongonga o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, i Ihipa na hoki ia, i rere hoki ia i te aroaro o Kingi Horomona, na noho ana a Ieropoama ki Ihipa;
3 that they send and call for him; and they come—Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel—and speak to Rehoboam, saying,
A ka tono tangata ratou ki te tiki atu i a ia: na ka haere a Ieropoama ratou ko te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, ka korero ki a Rehopoama, ka mea,
4 “Your father hardened our yoke, and you, now, lighten [some] of the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
He pakeke te ioka i meatia e tou papa ki a matou: na mau e whakamama te mahi pakeke a tou papa, me tana ioka taimaha i meatia e ia ki a matou, a ka mahi matou ki a koe.
5 And he says to them, “Yet go [for] three days, and come back to me”; and the people go.
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere, kia toru nga ra, ka hoki mai ano ki ahau. Na haere ana te iwi.
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the elderly who have been standing in the presence of his father Solomon, in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer this people?”
Na ka runanga a Kingi Rehopoama ki nga kaumatua i tu ra i te aroaro o tona papa, o Horomona, i a ia i te ora, ka mea, He aha ki to koutou whakaaro he kupu hei whakahokinga atu maku ki tenei iwi?
7 And they speak to him, saying, “If, today, you are a servant of this people, and have served them, and answered them, and spoken good words to them, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
Na ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea hei pononga koe ma tenei iwi i tenei ra, a ka mahi ki a ratou, a ka pai nga korero e korerotia e koe ki a ratou, na ko ratou hei pononga mau i nga ra katoa.
8 And he forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;
Otiia whakarerea ake e ia te whakaaro o nga kaumatua i hoatu ai ki a ia, a runanga ana ki nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi nei me ia, i tu nei ki tona aroaro.
9 and he says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
I mea ia ki a ratou, Ki to koutou whakaaro he aha te kupu e whakahoki ai tatou ki tenei hunga i korero nei ki ahau, i mea nei, Whakamamakia te ioka i meatia mai ra e tou papa ki a matou?
10 And they speak to him—the boys who had grown up with him—saying, “Thus you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make [it] light on us; thus you speak to them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;
Na ka korero ki a ia nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi me ia, ka mea, Kia penei tau ki atu ki tenei hunga i korero nei ki a koe, i mea nei, I whakataimahatia e tou papa to matou ioka, na kia mama tau ki a matou; kia penei tau ki atu ki a ratou, Ko toku maikara iti nui ke atu i te hope o toku papa.
11 and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions.”
Na i whakawaha e toku papa he ioka taimaha ki a koutou; maku ia e tapiri ki to koutou ioka; he wepu ta toku papa i whiu ai i a koutou; maku ia koutou e whiu ki te kopiona.
12 And they come—Jeroboam and all the people—to Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, “Come back to me on the third day.”
Na ka tae a Ieropoama ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a Rehopoama i te toru o nga ra, i ta te kingi i whakarite ai, i mea ai, Hoki mai ano ki ahau i te toru o nga ra.
13 And the king answers the people sharply, and forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him,
A pakeke tonu ta te kingi i whakahoki ai; i whakarerea hoki e ia te whakaaro i whakaaro ai nga kaumatua;
14 and speaks to them, according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions”;
A rite tonu ki to nga taitamariki whakaaro tana i korero ai ki a ratou; i mea ia, I whakataimahatia to koutou ioka e toku papa, maku ia e tapiri ki to koutou ioka: he wepu ta toku papa i whiu ai i a koutou; maku ia koutou e whiu ki te kopiona.
15 and the king did not listen to the people, for the revolution was from YHWH, in order to establish His word that YHWH spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Heoi kihai te kingi i rongo ki te iwi; na Ihowa hoki te take kia mana ai tana kupu i korero ai a Ihowa, ara ta Ahia Hironi ki a Ieropoama tama a Nepata.
16 And all Israel sees that the king has not listened to them, and the people send the king back word, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; [return] to your tents, O Israel; now see your house, O David!” And Israel goes to its tents.
A, no te kitenga o Iharaira katoa kihai te kingi i rongo ki ta ratou, ka utua e te iwi ta te kingi; i mea ratou, Ko te aha ianei ta tatou wahi i roto i a Rawiri? kahore nei hoki o tatou wahi tupu i roto i te tama a Hehe: ki o koutou teneti, e Ih araira! na, kia whai kanohi ki tou whare, e Rawiri! Na haere ana a Iharaira ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
17 As for the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Ko nga tama ia a Iharaira e noho ana i nga pa o Hura, ko Rehopoama hei kingi mo ratou.
18 And King Rehoboam sends Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel casts stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Na ka tono a Kingi Rehopoama i te rangatira takoha, i a Aroama; a akina ana ia e Iharaira katoa ki te kohatu, mate rawa. Na hohoro tonu te eke o Kingi Rehopoama ki tona hariata, a rere ana ki Hiruharama.
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Na kua tahuri ke a Iharaira i te whare o Rawiri a taea noatia tenei ra.
20 And it comes to pass, at all Israel hearing that Jeroboam has returned, that they send and call him to the congregation, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none has been after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.
A, no te rongonga o Iharaira katoa kua hoki mai a Ieropoama, na ka tono tangata ratou ki te tiki i a ia ki te huihui, a meinga ana ia hei kingi mo Iharaira katoa: kahore he mea i whai i te whare o Rawiri, ko te iwi anake o Hura.
21 And Rehoboam comes to Jerusalem, and assembles all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
Na kua tae a Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, a huihuia ana e ia te whare katoa o Hura, me te iwi o Pineamine, kotahi rau e waru tekau mano, he hunga whiriwhiri, he hunga whawhai, ki te whawhai ki te whare o Iharaira, kia hoki ai te kingitanga ki a Reho poama tama a Horomona.
22 And the word of God is to Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
Na ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hemaia, tangata a te Atua; i mea ia,
23 “Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,
Korero ki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona kingi o Hura, ki te whare katoa ano o Hura raua ko Pineamine, ki era atu hoki o te iwi, mea atu,
24 Thus said YHWH: You do not go up nor fight with your brothers the sons of Israel; let each return to his house, for this thing has been from Me”; and they hear the word of YHWH, and turn back to go according to the word of YHWH.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei haere ki runga, kei whawhai ki o koutou tuakana, ki nga tama a Iharaira. Hoki atu ki tona whare, ki tona whare; naku hoki tenei mea. Na rongo tonu ratou ki te kupu a Ihowa, a hoki ana, haere ana, pera ana me ta Ihow a i ki ai.
25 And Jeroboam builds Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwells in it, and goes out there, and builds Penuel;
Na ka hanga e Ieropoama a Hekeme ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, a hoho ana i reira: i haere atu ano ia i teira, a hanga ana e ia a Penuere.
26 and Jeroboam says in his heart, “Now the kingdom turns back to the house of David—
A ka mea a Ieropoama i tona ngakau, Akuanei hoki ai te kingitanga ki te whare o Rawiri:
27 if this people goes up to make sacrifices in the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, then the heart of this people has turned back to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
Ki te haere tenei iwi ki te mea whakahere ki te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama, na ka hoki te ngakau o tenei iwi ki to ratou ariki, ki a Rehopoama kingi o Hura: na ka patu ratou i ahau, a ka hoki ki a Rehopoama kingi o Hura.
28 And the king takes counsel, and makes two calves of gold, and says to them, “Enough of you from going up to Jerusalem; behold, your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
Na ka hanga whakaaro te kingi, a e rua nga kuao kau i hanga e ia ki te koura. Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He pakeke rawa ta koutou haere ki Hiruharama: nana, ou atua na, e Iharaira, nana nei koe i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa!
29 And he sets the one in Beth-El, and the other he has put in Dan,
Na whakaturia ana tetahi e ia ki Peteere; ko tetahi hoki i waiho ki Rana.
30 and this thing becomes a sin, and the people go before the one—to Dan.
Na ka tupu te hara i taua mea; i haere hoki te iwi ki te aroaro o tetahi, ki Rana, koropiko ai.
31 And he makes the house of high places, and makes priests from the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
I hanga ano e ia nga whare o nga wahi tiketike, a meinga ana hei tohunga o te iwi katoa noa iho, ehara nei i nga tama a Riwai.
32 and Jeroboam makes a festival in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offers on the altar—so he did in Beth-El—to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he has appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.
I whakaritea ano e Ieropoama he hakari i te waru o nga marama i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, he pera me ta Hura hakari; i tapae whakahere ano ia ki runga ki te aata. Ko tana hanga ano tenei i Peteere, he patu whakahere ki nga kuao kau i hanga e ia: i whakaturia ano e ia ki Peteere he tohunga mo nga wahi tiketike i hanga nei e ia.
33 And he offers up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised from his own heart, and he makes a festival for the sons of Israel, and offers on the altar—to make incense.
I tapae whakahere ano ia ki runga ki te aata i hanga e ia ki Peteere i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te waru o nga marama, ara i te marama i kitea iho e tona ngakau ano; a whakaritea ana e ia he hakari ma nga tama a Iharaira. Heoi tapae whakahere ana ia ki runga ki te aata, tahu ana i te whakakakara.
