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.
Ɛberɛ a Rehoboam duruu Yerusalem no, ɔboaboaa Yuda ne Benyamin akodɔm a ɛyɛ akodɔm papa ɔpeha aduɔwɔtwe ano, sɛ wɔrekɔko atia Israel akodɔm, na wagye ahennie no afa.
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah [the] man of God saying.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa Semaia sɛ,
3 Say to Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon [the] king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin saying.
“Ka kyerɛ Salomo babarima Rehoboam a ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Yuda ne Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Benyamin sɛ,
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.
Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Nko ntia wʼabusuafoɔ. Sane wʼakyi kɔ efie, ɛfiri sɛ, me na memaa asɛm a asie no ho kwan!’” Enti, wɔtiee Awurade asɛm no, na wɔanko antia Yeroboam.
5 And he dwelt Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he built cities to fortification in Judah.
Rehoboam tenaa Yerusalem, na ɔbɔɔ nkuro ahodoɔ ho ban, maa Yuda yɛɛ den.
6 And he built Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa.
Ɔkyekyeree Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 And Beth Zur and Socoh and Adullam.
Bet-Sur, Soko, Adulam,
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph.
Gat, Maresa, Sif,
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah.
Adoraim, Lakis, Aseka,
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron which [were] in Judah and in Benjamin cities of fortifications.
Sora, Ayalon ne Hebron. Yeinom ne nkuro a wɔbɔɔ ho ban wɔ Yuda ne Benyamin.
11 And he strengthened the fortifications and he put in them commanders and supplies of food and oil and wine.
Rehoboam yeree wɔn banbɔ mu, na ɔde asahene duaduaa hɔ. Ɔkoraa nnuane, ngo ne nsã wɔ kuropɔn biara so.
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.
Ɔde akokyɛm ne mpea siee wɔ saa nkuro yi mu, de hyɛɛ wɔn banbɔ mu den. Enti, Yuda ne Benyamin nko ara na wɔbɛhyɛɛ nʼase.
13 And the priests and the Levites who [were] in all Israel they took their stand at him from all territory their.
Asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ a na wɔne Israel atifi fam mmusuakuo te no kɔɔ Rehoboam afa.
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.
Na Lewifoɔ no mpo gyaa wɔn afie ne wɔn agyapadeɛ kɔɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem, ɛfiri sɛ, Yeroboam ne ne mmammarima amma wɔn kwan ansom Awurade sɛ asɔfoɔ.
15 And he appointed for himself priests for the high places and for the goats and for the calves which he had made.
Yeroboam yii nʼankasa asɔfoɔ, ma wɔsomm abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ so a na wɔsom abirekyie ne nantwie mma ahoni a na wɔayɛ.
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.
Israelman mu nyinaa, wɔn a na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsom Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no dii Lewifoɔ no akyi kɔɔ Yerusalem baabi a wɔbɛtumi de ayɛyɛdeɛ ama Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn no.
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.
Yei maa Yuda ahennie nyaa ahoɔden, na wɔde mfeɛ mmiɛnsa boaa Salomo babarima Rehoboam, na wɔhwehwɛɛ Awurade nokorɛm, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ wɔ Dawid ne Salomo ahennie mu no.
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.
Rehoboam waree Mahalat. Na ɔyɛ Dawid babarima Yerimot babaa. Na ɔyɛ Abihail a ɔyɛ Yisai babarima Eliab babaa nso.
19 And she bore to him sons Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham.
Mahalat woo mmammarima baasa a wɔne Yeus, Semaria ne Saham.
20 And after her he took Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom and she bore to him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.
Akyire no, ɔwaree Absalom babaa Maaka. Maaka woo Abia, Atai, Sisa ne Selomit.
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.
Na Rehoboam dɔ Maaka yie sene ne yerenom a wɔaka ne ne mpenafoɔ nyinaa. Na ɔwɔ yerenom dunwɔtwe ne mpenafoɔ aduosia, na wɔwowoo mmammarima aduonu nwɔtwe ne mmammaa aduosia.
22 And he appointed to the chief Rehoboam Abijah [the] son of Maacah to leader among brothers his for to make king him.
Rehoboam sii Maaka babarima Abia ahenemmahene maa ɛdaa adi pefee sɛ daakye, ɔno na ɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
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.
Bio, Rehoboam faa nyansakwan so de dwumadie hyehyɛɛ ne mmammarima a wɔaka no nsa, de wɔn tuatuaa nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban, wɔ nsase no nyinaa so. Ɔmaa wɔn wɔn ahiadeɛ nyinaa, hyehyɛɛ awadeɛ bebree maa wɔn mu biara.
