< 2 Chronicles 11 >
1 And Rehoboam comes to Jerusalem, and assembles the house of Judah and Benjamin—one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors—to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Rehooboʼaam yommuu Yerusaalem gaʼetti akka isaan Israaʼelitti duulanii Rehooboʼaamiif mootummaa deebisaniif jedhee mana Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam keessaa namoota loluu dandaʼan kuma dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettama walitti qabe.
2 And a word of YHWH is to Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
Garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo kun akkana jedhee gara nama Waaqaa gara Shemaaʼiyaa ni dhufe;
3 “Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomoon mooticha Yihuudaatii fi Israaʼeloota Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam keessa jiraatan hundaan akkana jedhi;
4 Thus said YHWH: You do not go up nor fight with your brothers! Let each return to his house, for this thing has been from Me”; and they hear the words of YHWH, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.
‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Obboloota keessan Israaʼeloota loluudhaaf jettanii ol hin baʼinaa. Sababii wanni kun ana biraa dhufeef tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana keessaniitti galaa.’” Kanaafuu isaan dubbii Waaqayyootiif ajajamanii Yerobiʼaamitti duuluu dhiisanii deebiʼan.
5 And Rehoboam dwells in Jerusalem, and builds cities for a bulwark in Judah,
Rehooboʼaam Yerusaalem keessa jiraatee Yihuudaa keessatti immoo magaalaawwan ittisaa ni ijaarrate; isaanis:
6 indeed, he builds Beth-Lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Beetlihem, Eexaam, Teqooʼaa,
7 and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
Beet Zuuri, Sookoo, Adulaam,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gaati, Maareeshaa, Ziif,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adooraayim, Laakkiish, Azeeqaa,
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
Zoraa, Ayaaloonii fi Kebrooni. Isaan kunneen magaalaawwan Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam keessatti jabeeffamanii ijaaramanii dha.
11 And he strengthens the bulwarks, and puts leaders in them, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
Innis ittisa isaanii jajjabeessee ajajjoota itti galche; nyaata, zayitii ejersaatii fi daadhii wayiniis achitti ni kuuse.
12 and in each and every city [he puts] bucklers and spears, and strengthens them very greatly; and he has Judah and Benjamin.
Magaalaawwan hunda keessas gaachanaa fi eeboo kaaʼee akka isaan jabaatan ni godhe. Akkasiinis Yihuudaa fi Beniyaamin kan ofii isaa godhate.
13 And the priests and the Levites that [are] in all Israel have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
Luboonnii fi Lewwonni aanaalee Israaʼel hunda keessa jiraatan gara isaa goran.
14 for the Levites have left their outskirts and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests for YHWH,
Sababii Yerobiʼaamii fi ilmaan isaa akka luboota Waaqayyootti isaan ilaaluu didaniif, Lewwonni lafa dheeda isaanii fi qabeenya isaanii dhiisanii gara Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem dhufan.
15 and he establishes for himself priests for high places, and for goat [idols] and for calf [idols] that he made.
Innis iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatii fi fakkii waaqota tolfamoo bifa reʼee fi bifa jabbiitiin hojjete sanaaf luboota ofii isaa ni muuddate.
16 And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek YHWH, God of Israel, have come to Jerusalem to sacrifice to YHWH, God of their father.
Warri gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa garaan isaanii Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel bira jiru Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaaniitiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuudhaaf Lewwota duukaa buʼanii Yerusaalem dhaqan.
17 And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
Isaanis mootummaa Yihuudaa jajjabeessaa waggaa sadii Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomoon ni gargaaran; isaan waggoota sadan kana keessa karaa Daawitii fi Solomoon duukaa buʼaa turaniitii.
18 And Rehoboam takes a wife for himself, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and of] Abigail daughter of Eliab son of Jesse.
Rehooboʼaamis Maahalaati intala Yeriimooti ilma Daawitii fi Abiihaayil fuudhe; Abiihaayil kun immoo intala Eliiyaab ilma Isseey.
19 And she bears sons to him: Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
Isheenis: Yeʼuushi, Shemaariyaa fi Zahaam deesseef.
20 And after her he has taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she bears to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Ergasii immoo Maʼakaa intala Abesaaloom ni fuudhe; isheenis Abiyaa, Ataayi, Ziizaa fi Sheloomiit deesseef.
21 And Rehoboam loves Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines—for he has taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines—and he begets twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehooboʼaamis niitotaa isaa kaanii fi saajjatoowwan isaa caalaa Maʼakaa intala Abesaaloom ni jaallate. Innis walumatti niitota kudha saddeet, saajjatoowwan jaatama, ilmaan digdamii saddeetii fi intallan jaatama qaba ture.
22 And Rehoboam appoints Abijah son of Maachah for head, for leader among his brothers, for to cause him to reign.
Rehooboʼaamis mootii isa gochuuf jedhee Abiyaa ilma Maʼakaa sana obboloota isaa ilmaan mootii keessaa hoogganaa godhee muude.
23 And he has understanding, and disperses from all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and gives provision in abundance to them; and he asks for a multitude of wives [for them].
Innis ogummaan ilmaan isaa keessaa tokko tokko aanaalee Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam keessa, gara magaalaawwan jabeeffamanii ijaaraman hundaatti ni erge. Ilmaan isaaf nyaata isaan gaʼu kennee niitota baayʼee illee isaan ni fuusise.
