1 Kings 12
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come to make him king.
Rehobowam ya tafi Shekem, gama dukan Isra’ila sun je can don su naɗa shi sarki.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of it—he being yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt;
Sa’ad da Yerobowam ɗan Nebat ya ji labari (gama har yanzu yana a Masar, inda ya gudu daga Sarki Solomon), sai ya dawo daga Masar.
3 yes they sent, and called him, and Jeroboam and all the convocation of Israel came, —and spake unto Rehoboam, saying:
Saboda haka mutane suka aika Yerobowam yă zo, sai shi da dukan taron Isra’ila suka tafi wurin Rehobowam, suka ce masa,
4 Thy father, made our yoke, grievous, —now, therefore do, thou, lighten the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, that we may serve thee.
“Mahaifinka ya sa mana kaya mai nauyin gaske, amma yanzu ka sassauta wannan aiki mai zafi, da kuma kaya masu nauyin da ya sa a kanmu, mu kuwa za mu bauta maka.”
5 And he said unto them—Depart ye for yet three days, and then come again unto me. And the people departed.
Rehobowam ya amsa, “Ku tafi, bayan kwana uku, ku dawo.” Sai mutane suka watse.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who used to stand before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, advise, that I answer this people?
Sai Sarki Rehobowam ya nemi shawarar dattawa waɗanda suka yi wa mahaifinsa Solomon, hidima a kwanakinsa. Ya ce, “Wace shawara ce za ku ba ni don in amsa wa waɗannan mutane?”
7 And they spake unto him, saying—If, to-day, thou wilt be servant unto this people, and wilt serve them, —and answer them kindly, and speak unto them good words, then will they be, thy, servants, always.
Suka amsa, “In a yau za ka zama bawan waɗannan mutane, ka kuma yi musu hidima, ka ba su amsa mai kyau, kullum za su kasance bayinka.”
8 But he declined the counsel of the elders which they gave him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, who were standing before himself;
Amma Rehobowam ya ƙi shawarar da dattawan suka ba shi, sai ya nemi shawarar matasa waɗanda suka yi girma tare, waɗanda kuma suke masa hidima.
9 and said unto them—What counsel do, ye, give as to how we shall answer this people who have spoken unto me, saying—Make a lightening of the yoke which thy father put upon us?
Ya tambaye su, “Mece ce shawararku? Yaya za mu amsa wa waɗannan mutane masu cewa, ‘Ka sassauta nauyin da mahaifinka ya sa a kanmu’?”
10 Then spake unto him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou say to this people that have spoken unto thee, saying—Thy father, made our yoke heavy, thou, therefore lighten it upon us, Thus, shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger, is thicker than my father’s loins;
Matasan, waɗanda suka yi girma tare da shi, suka amsa, “Faɗa wa waɗannan mutanen da suka ce maka, ‘Mahaifinka ya sa kaya masu nauyi a kanmu, amma ka sassauta kayanka.’ Ka ce musu, ‘Ƙaramin yatsana ya fi ƙugun tsohona kauri.
11 Now, therefore, whereas, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, did chastise you with whips, but, I, will chastise you with scorpions.
Mahaifina ya sa muku kaya masu nauyi; ni zan ma sa su fi haka nauyi. Mahaifina ya hore ku da bulala; ni kuwa zan hore ku da kunamai.’”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came in unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king had bidden, saying—Come again unto me, on the third day.
Bayan kwana uku, Yerobowam da dukan mutane suka dawo wurin Rehobowam yadda sarki ya faɗa, “Ku dawo gare ni cikin kwana uku.”
13 And the king answered the people, harshly, —and declined the counsel of the elders wherewith they had counselled him;
Sai Sarki ya amsa wa mutane da zafi. Yana ƙin shawarar da dattawa suka ba shi.
14 and spake unto them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add unto your yoke, —My father, chastised you, with whips, but, I, will chastise you, with scorpions.
Ya bi shawarar matasa, ya ce, “Mahaifina ya sa muku kaya masu nauyi; ni zan ma sa su fi haka nauyi. Mahaifina ya hore ku da bulala; ni kuwa zan hore ku da kunamai.”
15 Thus the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come about a turn from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Saboda haka sarki bai saurare mutane ba, gama wannan abin da ya faru daga wurin Ubangiji ne, don a cika maganar Ubangiji da ya yi wa Yerobowam ɗan Nebat ta wurin Ahiya, mutumin Shilo.
16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in, David. Or inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your homes O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And Israel departed to their homes.
Da dukan Isra’ila suka ga sarki ya ƙi yă saurare su, sai suka amsa wa sarki, “Ina ruwanmu da Dawuda! Ai! Ba mu da gādo wurin ɗan Yesse. Ya Isra’ila, kowa yă koma tentinsa! Dawuda, sai ka lura da gidanka!” Saboda haka Isra’ilawa suka watse zuwa gida.
17 But, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Amma ga Isra’ilawan da suke zama a garuruwan Yahuda kuwa, Rehobowam ya ci gaba da mulki a kansu.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram who was over the tribute, but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died, —King Rehoboam, therefore, hastily mounted his chariot, to flee unto Jerusalem.
Sarki Rehobowam ya aiki Adoniram wanda yake shugaban aikin gandu, amma Isra’ila suka jajjefe shi da dutse har ya mutu. Sarki Rehobowam, ya sullale ya hau keken yaƙinsa ya tsere zuwa Urushalima.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David, —unto this day.
Tun daga wannan ranar ne mutanen Isra’ila suka shiga gāba da gidan Dawuda har wa yau.
20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him into the assembly, and made him king over all Israel, —there were none that followed the house of David, saving the tribe of Judah only.
Sa’ad da dukan Isra’ilawa suka ji Yerobowam ya dawo, sai suka aika, suka kira shi zuwa taro, suka kuma naɗa shi sarki bisa dukan Isra’ila. Kabila Yahuda kaɗai ta kasance mai biyayya ga gidan Dawuda.
21 And, when Rehoboam entered Jerusalem, he called together all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, able to make war, —to fight against the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam, son of Solomon.
Da Rehobowam ya isa Urushalima, ya tattara dukan gidan Yahuda da kabilar Benyamin, ya sami sun kai mayaƙa dubu da tamanin. Sai aka shirya don su yaƙi gidan Isra’ila, su kuma mayar da masarautar wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon.
22 Then came the word of God unto Shemaiah, the man of God, saying:
Amma waɗannan kalmomin Allah suka zo wa Shemahiya, mutumin Allah, cewa,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah, and Benjamin, —and the remnant of the people, saying:
“Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon, sarkin Yahuda, ka faɗa wa dukan gidan Yahuda da Benyamin, da kuma dukan sauran mutane,
24 Thus, saith Yahweh—Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel, —return ye every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the word of Yahweh, and turned back to depart, according to the word of Yahweh.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “Kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku, Isra’ilawa. Ku koma gida, kowannenku, gama wannan aikina ne.”’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya da maganar Ubangiji, suka sāke watse zuwa gida, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta.
25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein, —and went forth from thence, and built Penuel.
Sai Yerobowam ya ƙara gina Shekem a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, ya zauna a can. Daga can ya tafi ya gina Fenuwel.
26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, —Now, shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
Yerobowam ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Mai yiwuwa mulkin yă koma gidan Dawuda.
27 If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people return unto their lord, unto Rehoboam, king of Judah, —and they will slay me, and return unto Rehoboam, king of Judah.
In waɗannan mutane sun riƙa haurawa don su miƙa hadayu a haikalin Ubangiji a Urushalima. Za su sāke nuna biyayya ga mai girma, Rehobowam, sarkin Yahuda. Za su kashe ni su kuma koma ga Sarki Rehobowam.”
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, —and said unto them—It is, too much for you, to go up to Jerusalem, Lo! thy gods, O Israel, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt;
Bayan ya nemi shawara, sai sarki ya yi siffofin’yan maruƙa biyu na zinariya. Ya ce wa mutane, “Kun daɗe kuna haurawa zuwa can Urushalima. Ga allolinku, ya Isra’ila, waɗanda suka fitar da ku daga ƙasar Masar.”
29 And he set the one in Bethel, —and, the other, put he in Dan.
Sai ya kafa ɗaya a Betel, ɗaya kuma a Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin, —and the people went before the one, as far as Dan.
Wannan ya zama zunubi, gama mutane suna tafiya yin wa wannan da yake a Betel sujada, su kuma je har Dan don su yi wa ɗayan sujada.
31 And he made a house of high-places, —and made priests from the whole compass of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
Yerobowam ya gina masujadai da suke kan tuddai, ya kuma naɗa firistoci barkatai daga cikin mutanen da ba na zuriyar Lawi ba.
32 And Jeroboam made a festival in the eight month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival which [was held] in Judah, and offered up on the altar, likewise, did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made, —and he kept in attendance in Bethel, the priests of the high-places which he had made.
Ya kafa biki a rana ta goma sha biyar ta watan takwas, kamar bikin da ake yi a Yahuda, ya kuma miƙa hadayu a bisa bagade. Ya yi haka a Betel, yana miƙa wa siffofin maruƙan da ya yi hadayu. A Betel kuma ya naɗa firistoci a wuraren tudun da ya yi.
33 And he offered up on the altar which he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month which he had devised out of his own heart, —thus made he a festival for the sons of Israel, and offered up on the altar, to make a perfume.
A rana ta goma sha biyar ta watan takwas, watan da ya zaɓa, ya miƙa hadayu a bisa bagaden da ya gina a Betel. Saboda haka ya kafa biki don Isra’ilawa, ya kuma haura zuwa bagade don yă miƙa hadayu.
