2 Chronicles 11
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
Idi nakasangpet ni Rehoboam idiay Jerusalem, inummongna ti balay ni Juda ken Benjamin, 180, 000 a napili a lallaki a soldado, a makigubat iti Israel, tapno maisubli manen ti pagarian kenni Rehoboam.
2 But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
Ngem immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Semaias, a tao ti Dios, a kunana,
3 “Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:
“Agsaoka kenni Rehoboam, a putot a lalaki ni Solomon, nga ari ti Juda, ken kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel idiay Juda ken Benjamin; a kunam,
4 ‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Rumbeng a saanyo a rauten wenno gubaten dagiti kakabsatyo. Rumbeng nga agsubli ti tunggal lalaki iti balayna, ta pagayatak ti napasamak.”' Impangagda ngarud dagiti sasao ni Yahweh ket imbabawida ti panangrautda kenni Jeroboam.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
Nagnaed ni Rehoboam idiay Jerusalem ket nangibangon kadagiti siudad idiay Juda a pangsalaknib.
6 In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Binangonna ti Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
Bet-zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gath, Mareshah,
Gat, Maresa, Zif,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Adoraim, Lakis, Azeka,
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
Zora, Aijalon ken Hebron. Dagitoy dagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad idiay Juda ken Benjamin.
11 He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
Pinalagdana dagiti sarikedked ket nangisaad isuna kadagiti mangidaulo kadagitoy, nga addaan kadagiti abasto a taraon, lana, ken arak.
12 He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
Nangikabil isuna kadagiti kalasag ken gayang iti tunggal siudad ken pinatibkerna dagiti siudad. Kukuana ti Juda ken Benjamin.
13 The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
Napan kenkuana dagiti padi ken Levita nga adda iti entero nga Israel manipud kadagiti beddengda.
14 The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
Ta pinanawan dagiti Levita dagiti pagpastoranda ken sanikuada tapno mapanda idiay Juda ken Jerusalem; ta pinagtalaw ida ni Jeroboam ken dagiti putotna a lallaki, tapno saandan a maaramid dagiti pagrebbenganda a kas padi ni Yahweh.
15 Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
Nangdutok ni Jeroboam kadagiti bukodna a padi nga agserbi kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan ken kadagiti didiosen a sinan-urbon a baka ken sinan-kalding nga inaramidna.
16 And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Simmurot kadakuada dagiti tattao a nagtaud iti amin a tribu ti Israel, dagiti nangipapuso a mangsapul kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel; napanda idiay Jerusalem tapno mangidatagda kenni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda.
17 They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
Isu a pinatibkerda ti pagarian ti Juda, ken pinabilegda ni Rehoboam a putot ni Solomon, bayat iti tallo a tawen—ta nagbiagda iti wagas da David ken Solomon iti tallo a tawen.
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
Inasawa ni Rehoboam ni Mahalat nga anak a babai da Abigail ken Jerimot a putot a lalaki ni David, ni Abigail ti putot a babai ni Eliab, a putot a lalaki ni Jesse.
19 Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Nangipasngay ni Mahalat iti annak a lallaki: Da Jeus, Semarias ken Zaham.
20 Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Kalpasan ni Mahalat, inasawa ni Rehoboam ni Maaca a putot a babai ni Absalom; impasngayna da Abias, Attai, Ziza ken Selomit.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
Ad-adda nga inayat ni Rehoboam ni Maaca a putot a babai ni Absalom ngem kadagiti dadduma nga assawana ken kadagiti kamalalana (nangasawa isuna iti sangapulo ket walo ken innem a pulo ti kamalalana, ken duapulo ket walo ti putotna a lallaki ken innem a pulo a babbai).
22 Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next king.
Dinutokan ni Rehoboam ni Abias nga anak ni Maaca a kas panguloen, a mangidaulo kadagiti kakabsatna; gandatna nga isuna ti isaadna nga ari.
23 He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
Nagturay a sisisirib ni Rehoboam; inwarasna dagiti amin a putotna a lallaki iti entero a daga ti Juda ken Benjamin iti tunggal nasarikedkedan a siudad. Inikkanna pay ida iti nabuslon a taraon ken imbirokanna ida iti adu nga assawa.
