2 Chronicles 10
1 All the people of Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
Rehobowam ya tafi Shekem, gama dukan Isra’ilawa sun je can don su naɗa shi sarki.
2 Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had fled to Egypt [to escape] from King Solomon. But when he heard [about the people wanting to appoint Rehoboam to be their king], he returned [to Israel] from Egypt
Da Yerobowam ɗan Nebat ya ji wannan (a lokacin yana a Masar, inda ya gudu daga Sarki Solomon ya tafi), sai ya dawo daga Masar.
3 So the [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and he went with them [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to Rehoboam,
Saboda haka suka aika a zo da Yerobowam, sai shi da dukan Isra’ila suka je wurin Rehobowam suka ce masa.
4 “Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard for him. If you do not force us to work that hard, and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
“Mahaifinka ya sa mana kaya masu nauyi a kanmu, amma yanzu ka sauƙaƙa mana aiki mai zafin nan da kuma kaya masu nauyin da ya sa a kanmu, mu kuwa za mu bauta maka.”
5 He replied, “Come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders [and Jeroboam] left.
Rehobowam ya amsa, “Ku dawo gare ni cikin kwana uku.” Saboda haka mutanen suka watse.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted his older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still alive. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer these men?”
Sai Sarki Rehobowam ya nemi shawarar dattawan da suka yi wa mahaifinsa Solomon hidima a lokacin da yake da rai, ya tambaye suya ce, “Wace shawara za ku ba ni don in amsa wa waɗannan mutane?”
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and do things that will please them, and if you say kind things to them when you answer them, they will always serve you.”
Suka amsa suka ce, “In za ka ji tausayi waɗannan mutane ka kuma gamshe su, ka kuma ba su amsar da ta dace, kullum za su zama bayinka.”
8 But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now his advisors.
Amma Rehobowam ya ƙi shawarar da dattawa suka ba shi ya kuma nemi shawarar matasan da suka yi girma tare, suke kuma yin masa hidima.
9 He said to them, “How should I answer the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
Ya tambaye su ya ce, “Mece ce shawararku? Yaya zan amsa wa waɗannan mutanen da suke ce mini, ‘Ka sauƙaƙa nauyin da mahaifinka ya sa a kanmu’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “[Those men] have said that your father forced them to work very hard for him, so they want you to reduce the [work and taxes] that your father required from them. But this is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
Matasan da suka yi girma tare shi suka amsa, “Faɗa wa mutanen da suke ce maka, ‘Mahaifinka ya sa kaya masu nauyi a kanmu, amma ka sauƙaƙa nauyinmu.’ Ka faɗa musu, ‘Ƙaramin yatsana ya fi ƙugun mahaifina kauri.
11 What I mean is that my father required you to [work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
Mahaifina ya sa muku kaya masu nauyi; zan ma sa mafi nauyi. Mahaifina ya bulale ku da bulala; zan bulale ku da kunamai.’”
12 Three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to King Rehoboam again, which is what he had told them to do.
Bayan kwana uku sai Yerobowam da dukan mutane suka dawo wurin Rehobowam, yadda sarki ya ce, “Ku dawo gare ni cikin kwana uku.”
13 The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
Sarki ya amsa musu da kakkausar murya. Ya ƙi shawarar dattawan,
14 [He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
ya kuma bi shawarar matasan ya ce, “Mahaifina ya sa muku kaya masu nauyi; zan ma sa mafi nauyi. Mahaifina ya bulale ku da bulala; zan bulale ku da kunamai.”
15 So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam would happen.
Saboda haka sarki bai saurari mutane ba, gama wannan juyin al’amura daga Allah ne, don a cika maganar Ubangiji da ya yi ga Yerobowam ɗan Nebat ta wurin Ahiya mutumin Shilo.
16 When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David, he can rule his own kingdom!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
Sa’ad da Isra’ila suka ga sarki ya ƙi yă saurare su, sai suka amsa wa sarki, suka ce, “Wanda rabo muke da shi a wurin Dawuda, wanda sashe muke da shi daga ɗan Yesse? Kowa yă koma tentinsa, ya Isra’ila! Ka lura da gidanka, ya Dawuda!” Saboda haka dukan Isra’ilawa suka tafi gida.
17 And [after that, the only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribes of] Judah [and Benjamin].
Amma game da Isra’ilawan da suke zama a garuruwan Yahuda kuwa, Rehobowam ya ci gaba da yin mulki a bisansu.
18 Then King Rehoboam went with Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
Sarki Rehobowam ya aiki Hadoram wanda yake lura da aikin dole, amma Isra’ilawa suka jajjefe shi da duwatsu har ya mutu. Sarki Rehobowam kuwa ya gaggauta ya shiga keken yaƙinsa ya gudu zuwa Urushalima.
19 Ever since that time, [the people of the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants of [King] David.
Ta haka Isra’ila ya kasance cikin tawaye a kan gidan Dawuda har yă zuwa wannan rana.
