2 Chronicles 11
1 And he came Rehoboam Jerusalem and he called together [the] house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen [man] maker[s] of war to do battle with Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Rĩrĩa Rehoboamu aakinyire Jerusalemu, akĩũngania andũ a kuuma nyũmba ya Juda na Benjamini, andũ a kũrũa mbaara 180,000, nĩgeetha makarũe na Isiraeli, nĩguo macookerie Rehoboamu ũthamaki.
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah [the] man of God saying.
No rĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia mũndũ wa Ngai, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
3 Say to Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon [the] king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin saying.
“Thiĩ wĩre Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni mũthamaki wa Juda, na wĩre andũ a Isiraeli othe kũu Juda na Benjamini atĩrĩ,
4 Thus he says Yahweh not you must go up and not you must do battle with countrymen your return everyone to own house his for from with me it has occurred the thing this and they obeyed [the] words of Yahweh and they turned back from going against Jeroboam.
‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Tigai kwambata mũkahũũrane na ariũ a ithe wanyu. O mũndũ wothe wanyu nĩacooke mũciĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ njĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩathĩkĩra ciugo cia Jehova na magĩtiganĩria ũhoro wa gũthiĩ kũhithũkĩra Jeroboamu.
5 And he dwelt Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he built cities to fortification in Judah.
Rehoboamu agĩtũũra Jerusalemu na agĩaka matũũra ma ũgitĩri kũu Juda, namo nĩ maya:
6 And he built Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa.
Bethilehemu, na Etamu, na Tekoa,
7 And Beth Zur and Socoh and Adullam.
na Bethi-Zuru, na Soko, na Adulamu,
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph.
na Gathu, na Maresha, na Zifu,
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah.
na Adoraimu, na Lakishi, na Azeka,
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron which [were] in Judah and in Benjamin cities of fortifications.
na Zora, na Aijaloni, na Hebironi. Maya maarĩ matũũra manene mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya kũu Juda na Benjamini.
11 And he strengthened the fortifications and he put in them commanders and supplies of food and oil and wine.
Agĩĩkĩra ũgitĩri wamo hinya na akĩiga anene a mbũtũ cia mbaara kuo, o hamwe na mĩthiithũ ya irio, na maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ, na ndibei.
12 And [were] in every city and a city body shields and spears and he made strong them to abundance exceedingly and it belonged to him Judah and Benjamin.
Nĩaigire ngo na matimũ matũũra-inĩ macio manene, na agĩtũma magĩe hinya mũno. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Juda na Benjamini gũgĩtuĩka gwake.
13 And the priests and the Levites who [were] in all Israel they took their stand at him from all territory their.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii kuuma ngʼongo ciao ciothe kũu Isiraeli guothe maarĩ mwena wake.
14 For they forsook the Levites pasture lands their and property their and they went to Judah and to Jerusalem for he had rejected them Jeroboam and sons his from serving as priests to Yahweh.
Nĩgũkorwo Alawii nĩmatiganĩirie ũrĩithio wao na indo ciothe, magĩũka Juda na Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo Jeroboamu na ariũ ake nĩmamagiririe kũruta wĩra ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova.
15 And he appointed for himself priests for the high places and for the goats and for the calves which he had made.
Nake agĩthuura athĩnjĩri-ngai ake mwene nĩ ũndũ wa kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutĩra magongona mĩhianano ya mbũri na ya njaũ ĩrĩa aathondekete.
16 And after them from all [the] tribes of Israel those [who] set heart their to seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel they came Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
Andũ othe a kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli arĩa maahaarĩirie ngoro ciao kũmaatha Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, magĩkĩrũmĩrĩra Alawii nginya Jerusalemu makarutĩre Jehova Ngai wa maithe mao magongona.
17 And they strengthened [the] kingdom of Judah and they strengthened Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon for years three for they walked in [the] way of David and Solomon for years three.
Makĩongerera ũthamaki wa Juda hinya na makĩnyiitĩrĩra Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni handũ ha mĩaka ĩtatũ, na ihinda rĩu nĩmathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya Daudi na ya Solomoni.
18 And he took for himself Rehoboam a wife Mahalath ([the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Jerimoth [the] son of David Abihail [the] daughter of Eliab [the] son of Jesse.
Nake Rehoboamu nĩahikirie Mahalathu, ũrĩa warĩ mwarĩ wa mũriũ wa Daudi wetagwo Jerimothu na wa Abihaili mwarĩ wa mũrũ wa Jesii wetagwo Eliabu.
19 And she bore to him sons Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham.
Nake akĩmũciarĩra aanake aya: Jeushu, na Shemaria, na Zahamu.
20 And after her he took Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom and she bore to him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.
Ningĩ akĩhikia Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu, ũrĩa wamũciarĩire Abija, na Atai, na Ziza na Shelomithu.
21 And he loved Rehoboam Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom more than all wives his and concubines his for wives eight-teen he had taken and concubines sixty and he fathered twenty and eight sons and sixty daughters.
Rehoboamu nĩendire Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu gũkĩra atumia arĩa angĩ othe na gũkĩra thuriya ciake ciothe. Atumia ake othe maarĩ 18 na thuriya 60, ciana cia aanake 28, na cia airĩtu 60.
22 And he appointed to the chief Rehoboam Abijah [the] son of Maacah to leader among brothers his for to make king him.
Rehoboamu nĩathuurire Abija mũrũ wa Maaka atuĩke mũriũ mũnene wa ariũ a ithe acio angĩ nĩgeetha akaamũtua mũthamaki.
23 And he acted wisely and he distributed some of all sons his to all [the] lands of Judah and Benjamin to all [the] cities of fortifications and he gave to them food to abundance and he sought a multitude of wives.
Nĩatũmĩrire ũũgĩ, akĩhurunjĩra ariũ ake amwe ngʼongo-inĩ ciothe cia Juda na Benjamini, na akĩmahurunjĩra matũũra-inĩ mothe manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre. Nĩamaheire mĩthiithũ mĩiganu, na akĩmacarĩria o mũndũ atumia aingĩ.
