2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehobowamu anapita ku Sekemu, pakuti Aisraeli onse anapita kumeneko kuti akamulonge ufumu.
2 It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati atamva zimenezi (Iye anali ku Igupto, kumene anapita pothawa mfumu Solomoni) anabwerako kuchokera ku Igupto.
3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
Kotero anthu anakayitana Yeroboamu ndipo iye ndi Aisraeli onse anapita kwa Rehobowamu ndi kumuwuza kuti,
4 "Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you."
“Abambo anu anatisenzetsa goli lolemetsa koma tsopano mutipeputsire ntchito yolemetsayi ndi goli lolemerali limene analiyika pa ife ndipo ifeyo tidzakutumikirani.”
5 He said to them, "Come again to me after three days." The people departed.
Rehobowamu anayankha kuti, “Mukabwerenso pakapita masiku atatu.” Choncho anthuwo anachoka.
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, "What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?"
Kenaka mfumu Rehobowamu anafunsira nzeru kwa akuluakulu amene ankatumikira abambo ake, Solomoni, pamene anali moyo. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi inu mungandilangize zotani kuti ndiwayankhe anthu awa?”
7 They spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ngati inu muwakomera mtima anthu awa ndi kuwasangalatsa ndiponso kuwayankha mawu abwino, iwo adzakutumikirani nthawi zonse.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
Koma Rehobowamu anakana malangizo amene akuluakulu anamupatsa ndipo anakafunsira nzeru kwa anyamata amene anakula naye pamodzi komanso amamutumikira.
9 He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'"
Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi malangizo anu ndi otani? Kodi tiwayankhe chiyani anthu amene akunena kuti, ‘Peputsani goli limene abambo anu anayika pa ife?’”
10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;' thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
Anyamata amene anakula pamodzi naye anamuyankha kuti, “Anthu amene anena kwa inu kuti, ‘Abambo anu anatisenzetsa goli lolemetsa koma inu mupeputse goli lathu,’ muwawuze kuti, ‘Chala changa chachingʼono ndi chachikulu kuposa chiwuno cha abambo anga.
11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'"
Abambo anga anakusenzetsani goli lolemetsa koma ine ndidzalichititsa kukhala lolemetsa kwambiri. Abambo anga anakukwapulani ndi zikoti wamba koma ine ndidzakukwapulani ndi zinkhanira.’”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, "Come to me again the third day."
Tsiku lachitatu Yeroboamu ndi anthu onse anabwerera kwa Rehobowamu monga ananenera mfumu kuti, “Mukabwerenso kwa ine pakapita masiku atatu.”
13 The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Mfumu inawayankha mwankhanza, pokana malangizo a akuluakulu aja.
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
Iye anatsatira malangizo a anyamata ndipo anati, “Abambo anga anakusenzetsani goli lolemetsa koma ine ndidzalichititsa kukhala lolemetsa kwambiri. Abambo anga anakukwapulani ndi zikoti wamba koma ine ndidzakukwapulani ndi zinkhanira.”
15 So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that YHWH might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Kotero mfumu sinamvere anthuwo, pakuti zinthu izi zinali zochokera kwa Mulungu, kukwaniritsa mawu amene Yehova ananena kwa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kudzera mwa Ahiya wa ku Silo.
16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.
Aisraeli onse ataona kuti mfumu yakana kuwamvera, iwo anayankha mfumu kuti, “Kodi ife tili ndi gawo lanji mwa Davide, gawo lanji mwa mwana wa Yese? Inu Aisraeli! Pitani kwanu. Iwe Davide! Yangʼana banja lako.” Kotero Aisraeli onse anapita kwawo.
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Koma Rehobowamu anakhala akulamulirabe Aisraeli amene amakhala mʼmizinda ya Yuda.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Mfumu Rehobowamu inatuma Hadoramu amene ankayangʼanira ntchito yathangata, koma Aisraeli anamugenda miyala ndi kumupha. Koma mfumu Rehobowamu anakwera galeta lake ndi kuthawira ku Yerusalemu.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
Motero Israeli wakhala akuwukira banja la Davide mpaka lero lino.
