< 2 Chronicles 12 >

1 And it was when established [the] kingdom of Rehoboam and according to strengthening his he forsook [the] law of Yahweh and all Israel with him.
Esime Rehoboam li ke ɖe eƒe fiazikpui dzi eye wòɖo ŋusẽ la, eya kple Israel blibo la gbe nu le Yehowa ƒe se la gbɔ.
2 And it was in the year fifth of the king Rehoboam he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem for they had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
Esi wometo nyateƒe na Yehowa o ta la, Sisak, Egipte fia, ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu le Fia Rehoboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia me
3 With one thousand and two hundred chariot[s] and with sixty thousand horsemen and not number [belonged] to the people which they came with him from Egypt Libyans Sukkites and Cushites.
kple tasiaɖam akpe ɖeka alafa eve, sɔdola akpe blaade kple aʋawɔla siwo mele xexlẽ me o. Ame siwo kpe ɖe Fia Sisak ŋu la woe nye, Libiatɔwo, Sukimtɔwo kple Kustɔ siwo tso Egipte.
4 And he captured [the] cities of fortifications which [belonged] to Judah and he came to Jerusalem.
Fia Sisak ɖu Yuda du siwo woglã la katã dzi eye wòɖo Yerusalem.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet he came to Rehoboam and [the] leaders of Judah who they had gathered to Jerusalem because of Shishak and he said to them thus he says Yahweh you you have abandoned me and also I I have abandoned you in [the] hand of Shishak.
Nyagblɔɖila Semaya wɔ takpekpe kple Rehoboam kple Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo tso dukɔ la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe, ame siwo si va Yerusalem la eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Miegblem ɖi eya ta nye hã megble mi ɖi ɖo eye metsɔ mi de asi na Sisak.’”
6 And they humbled themselves [the] leaders of Israel and the king and they said [is] righteous - Yahweh.
Fia Rehoboam kple Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo do ɣli ʋu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me be, “Yehowa tɔ dzɔ be wòwɔ mí alea!”
7 And when saw Yahweh that they had humbled themselves it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah - saying they have humbled themselves not I will destroy them and I will give to them like a little deliverance and not it will pour forth rage my on Jerusalem by [the] hand of Shishak.
Esi Yehowa kpɔ ale si wobɔbɔ wo ɖokuie la, eɖo Semaya ɖa be wòagblɔ na wo be, “Esi miebɔbɔ mia ɖokui ta la, nyematsrɔ̃ mi keŋkeŋ o, mia dometɔ aɖewo asi. Nyemawɔ Fia Sisak ŋu dɔ le nye dɔmedzoetɔtrɔ kɔ ɖe Yerusalem dzi me o.
8 For they will become of him subjects so they may know service my and [the] service of [the] kingdoms of the lands.
Ke miadzɔ nu na Sisak ƒe sia ƒe. Ekema miadze sii be, enyo sãa be miasubɔm wu be miasubɔ Sisak!”
9 And he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem and he took [the] treasures of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of [the] house of the king everything he took and he took [the] shields of gold which he had made Solomon.
Ale Egipte fia, Sisak ɖu Yerusalem dzi eye wòlɔ nu sia nu le gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me dzoe. Etsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo Solomo wɔ la katã hã dzoe.
10 And he made the king Rehoboam in place of them shields of bronze and he entrusted [them] on [the] hand of [the] commanders of the runners who guarded [the] entrance of [the] house of the king.
Ke Fia Rehoboam wɔ akɔblikpoxɔnuwo ɖe wo teƒe eye wòtsɔ wo de asi na eŋudzɔlawo ƒe amegã.
11 And it was as often as came the king [the] house of Yahweh they came the runners and they carried them and they returned them to [the] guardroom of the runners.
Ɣe sia ɣi si fia la yi gbedoxɔ la me la, eŋudzɔlawo tsɔa wo bɔa asaɖa le eŋgɔ eye emegbe la, wogbugbɔa wo dana ɖe dzɔlawo ƒe xɔ me.
12 And when he humbled himself it turned back from him [the] anger of Yahweh and not to destroy to complete destruction and also in Judah it was things good.
Esi fia la bɔbɔ eɖokui la, Yehowa na eƒe dɔmedzoe nu tso eye metsrɔ̃ ameawo keŋkeŋ o. Le Sisak ƒe aʋawɔwɔ kpli wo emegbe gɔ̃ hã la, meda ahe o.
13 And he strengthened himself the king Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he reigned for [was] a son of forty and one year[s] Rehoboam when became king he and seven-teen year[s] - he reigned in Jerusalem the city where he had chosen Yahweh to put name his there from all [the] tribes of Israel and [the] name of mother his [was] Naamah the Ammonite [woman].
Fia Rehoboam ɖu fia ƒe wuiadre le Yerusalem, du si Mawu tia wɔ eƒe nɔƒee le ŋkuléle ɖe Israel duwo katã ŋu megbe la me. Rehoboam ɖu fia esi wòxɔ ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Naama eye wònye Amoni nyɔnu aɖe.
14 And he did evil for not he had directed heart his to seek Yahweh.
Rehoboam nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe elabena meɖo ta me kura be yeadze Yehowa ŋu o.
15 And [the] matters of Rehoboam former and latter ¿ not [are] they written in [the] words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer for genealogical enrollment and [the] wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [were] all the days.
Woŋlɔ Rehoboam ƒe ŋutinya blibo la ɖe nu siwo nyagblɔdila, Semaya kple nukpɔla, Ido ŋlɔ ɖe Dzidzimegbalẽ la me. Aʋa dzɔna ɖe Rehoboam kple Yeroboam dome enuenu.
16 And he lay down Rehoboam with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David and he became king Abijah son his in place of him.
Esi Rehoboam ku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Abiya ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
