1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
Rehoboamu sì lọ sí Ṣekemu, nítorí gbogbo Israẹli ti lọ síbẹ̀ láti fi í jẹ ọba.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was yet in Egypt, wither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,
Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, tí ó wà ní Ejibiti síbẹ̀ gbọ́, nítorí tí ó ti sá kúrò níwájú Solomoni ọba, ó sì wà ní Ejibiti.
3 and they sent and called him; ) that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Jeroboamu, òun àti gbogbo ìjọ Israẹli sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Rehoboamu, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
“Baba rẹ sọ àjàgà wa di wúwo, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, mú kí ìsìn baba rẹ̀ tí ó le, àti àjàgà rẹ̀ tí ó wúwo, tí ó fi sí wa ní ọrùn kí ó fẹ́rẹ̀ díẹ̀, àwa yóò sì sìn ọ́.”
5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
Rehoboamu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ ná títí di ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, nígbà náà ni kí ẹ padà tọ̀ mí wá.” Àwọn ènìyàn náà sì lọ.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
Nígbà náà ni Rehoboamu ọba fi ọ̀rọ̀ lọ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ń dúró níwájú Solomoni baba rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó wà láààyè. Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ìmọ̀ràn wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò gbà mí láti dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lóhùn?”
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lónìí, kí o sì sìn wọ́n, àti kí o sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ rere sí wọn nígbà tí ìwọ bá ń dá wọn lóhùn, wọn yóò máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ rẹ títí láé.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
Ṣùgbọ́n Rehoboamu kọ ìmọ̀ràn tí àwọn àgbàgbà fún un, ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ náà lọ àwọn ọmọdé tí wọ́n dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì ń sìn ín.
9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?
Ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí ni ìmọ̀ràn yín? Báwo ni a ó ṣe dá àwọn ènìyàn yí lóhùn, tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, ‘Ṣé kí àjàgà tí baba rẹ fi sí wa lọ́rùn kí ó fúyẹ́ díẹ̀’?”
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
Àwọn ọmọdé tí ó dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n wí fún ọ pé, ‘Baba rẹ̀ mú kí àjàgà wa wúwo ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ mú kí ó fúyẹ́ díẹ̀ fún wa’; sọ fún wọn pé, ìka ọwọ́ mi kékeré nípọn ju ẹ̀gbẹ́ baba mi lọ.
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
Baba mi ti gbé àjàgà wúwo lé e yín; Èmi yóò sì fi kún àjàgà yín. Baba mi ti fi pàṣán nà yín, Èmi yóò fi àkéekèe nà yín.”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
Jeroboamu àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà wá sọ́dọ̀ Rehoboamu ní ọjọ́ kẹta, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti wí pé, “Ẹ padà tọ̀ mí wá ní ọjọ́ kẹta.”
13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him;
Ọba sì fi ohùn líle dá àwọn ènìyàn lóhùn, ó sì kọ ìmọ̀ràn tí àwọn àgbàgbà fún un,
14 and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions;
Ó sì tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn àwọn ọmọdé, ó sì wí pé, “Baba mí sọ àjàgà yín di wúwo, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ó wúwo sí i, baba mi fi pàṣán nà yín èmi yóò fi àkéekèe nà yín.”
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that he might establish his word, which the LORD spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba kò sì fi etí sí ti àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí tí ọ̀ràn náà ti ọwọ́ Olúwa wá láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó sọ fún Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati láti ẹnu Ahijah ará Ṣilo ṣẹ.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli rí i pé ọba kọ̀ láti gbọ́ ti àwọn, wọ́n sì dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Ìpín wo ni àwa ní nínú Dafidi, ìní wo ni àwa ní nínú ọmọ Jese? Padà sí àgọ́ rẹ, ìwọ Israẹli! Bojútó ilé ara rẹ, ìwọ Dafidi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ará Israẹli padà sí ilé wọn.
17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Ṣùgbọ́n fún ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ń gbé nínú ìlú Juda, Rehoboamu jẹ ọba lórí wọn síbẹ̀.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Ọba Rehoboamu rán Adoniramu jáde, ẹni tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ iṣẹ́ onírúurú, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo Israẹli sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa. Ọba Rehoboamu, gbìyànjú láti dé inú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì sálọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Israẹli ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ilé Dafidi títí di òní yìí.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli sì gbọ́ pé Jeroboamu ti padà dé, wọ́n ránṣẹ́, wọ́n sì pè é wá sí àjọ, wọ́n sì fi jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli. Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó tọ ilé Dafidi lẹ́yìn bí kò ṣe kìkì ẹ̀yà Juda nìkan.
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
Nígbà tí Rehoboamu sì dé sí Jerusalẹmu, ó kó gbogbo ilé Juda jọ, àti ẹ̀yà Benjamini; ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ènìyàn tí a yàn, tí wọ́n ń ṣe ológun, láti bá ilé Israẹli jà àti láti mú ìjọba náà padà bọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ Rehoboamu, ọmọ Solomoni.
22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run tọ Ṣemaiah ènìyàn Ọlọ́run wá wí pé,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
“Sọ fún Rehoboamu, ọmọ Solomoni, ọba Juda àti fún gbogbo ilé Juda àti ti Benjamini, àti fún àwọn ènìyàn tókù wí pé,
24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word of the LORD.
‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ láti bá àwọn arákùnrin yín jà, àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli. Kì olúkúlùkù yín padà sí ilé rẹ̀, nítorí nǹkan yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi wá ni.”’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, wọ́n sì tún padà sí ilé wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.
Nígbà náà ni Jeroboamu kọ́ Ṣekemu ní òkè Efraimu, ó sì ń gbé inú rẹ̀. Láti ibẹ̀ ó sì jáde lọ, ó sì kọ́ Penieli.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
Jeroboamu rò nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, “Ìjọba náà yóò padà nísinsin yìí sí ilé Dafidi.
27 if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they shall kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
Bí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí bá gòkè lọ láti ṣe ìrúbọ ní ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu, wọn yóò tún fi ọkàn wọn fún Olúwa wọn, Rehoboamu ọba Juda. Wọn yóò sì pa mí, wọn yóò sì tún padà tọ Rehoboamu ọba Juda lọ.”
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti gba ìmọ̀ràn, ọba sì yá ẹgbọrọ màlúù wúrà méjì. Ó sì wí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ó ti pọ̀jù fún yín láti máa gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu. Àwọn Ọlọ́run yín nìyìí, Israẹli, tí ó mú yín láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá.”
29 And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.
Ó sì gbé ọ̀kan kalẹ̀ ní Beteli, àti èkejì ní Dani.
30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, even unto Dan.
Nǹkan yìí sì di ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; àwọn ènìyàn sì lọ títí dé Dani láti sin èyí tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
31 And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
Jeroboamu sì kọ́ ojúbọ sórí ibi gíga, ó sì yan àwọn àlùfáà láti inú àwọn ènìyàn bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọn kì í ṣe inú àwọn ọmọ Lefi.
32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made.
Jeroboamu sì dá àsè sílẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù kẹjọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àsè tí ó wà ní Juda, ó sì rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ. Ó ṣe èyí ní Beteli, ó rú ẹbọ sí àwọn ọmọ màlúù tí ó ṣe. Ó sì fi àwọn àlùfáà sí ibi gíga tí ó ti ṣe sí Beteli.
33 And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense.
Ní ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù kẹjọ, oṣù tí ó rò ní ọkàn ara rẹ̀, ó sì rú ẹbọ lórí pẹpẹ tí ó kọ́ ní Beteli. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì dá àsè sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ó sì gun orí pẹpẹ náà lọ láti rú ẹbọ.
