2 Chronicles 12
1 After Rehoboam was in complete control of his kingdom, he and all [the other people in] Judah stopped obeying the laws of Yahweh.
Bangʼe kane Rehoboam nosegurore motegno kaka ruoth, en kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto negijwangʼo chike Jehova Nyasaye.
2 As a result, after Rehoboam had been king for almost five years, Yahweh sent Shishak, the king of Egypt, [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
Nikech negiweyo rito chike Jehova Nyasaye, Shishak ruodh Misri nomonjo Jerusalem e higa mar abich mar loch Ruoth Rehoboam.
3 Along with his army he brought 1,200 chariots and 60,000 soldiers riding horses and a very large number of troops from two regions in Libya, and from Ethiopia.
Nobiro gi geche lweny alufu achiel gi mia ariyo kod jolweny moidho farese alufu piero auchiel kod jolweny mangʼeny ma ok kwanre mawuotho mag jo-Libya gi jo-Suk kod Kush bende nobiro kode koa Misri,
4 They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
mokawo miech Juda mochiel motegno mobiro nyaka Jerusalem.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam and the other leaders of Judah who had gathered in Jerusalem because they were afraid of [the army of] Shishak. Shemaiah said to them, “Yahweh says this: ‘You have abandoned me; so now I am abandoning you, to [allow you to be captured by the army of] Shishak.’”
Eka janabi Shemaya nobiro ir Rehoboam kod jotelo mag Juda mano chokore Jerusalem nimar luoro nomakogi nikech Shishak kendo nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ‘Useweya omiyo an bende koro aweyou e lwet Shishak.’”
6 Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
Jotend jo-Israel kod ruoth nobolore kawacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ni kare.”
7 When Yahweh realized that they had humbled themselves, he gave this message to Shemaiah: “Because they have humbled themselves, I will not allow them to be destroyed. Instead, I will soon rescue them. I will not use Shishak’s army to completely destroy the people of Jerusalem,
Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno ni negibolore kamano, wach mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya niya, “Nikech gisebolore e nyima ok anatiekgi to abiro resogi bangʼ ndalo manok. Mirimba ok nool Jerusalem koa e lwet Shishak.
8 but they will conquer Jerusalem and force the people there to do what Shishak wants them to do. As a result, the people of Jerusalem will learn [that it is better] to serve me than to serve the kings of other countries.”
Kata kamano ginibed e bwo lochne mondo gingʼe pogruok manie kind tiyona kod tiyone ruodhi mag pinje mamoko.”
9 When Shishak’s [army] attacked Jerusalem, they took/carried away the valuable things that were in the temple of Yahweh and the valuable things that were in the king’s palace. They took everything [that was valuable], including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
Kane Shishak ruodh jo-Misri omonjo Jerusalem, noyako mwandu hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi mwandu mag od ruoth. Nokawo gimoro amora kaachiel gi kuodi mag dhahabu mane Solomon ochuogo.
10 So King Rehoboam’s workers made bronze shields to be used instead of the gold ones and gave the bronze shields to the commanders of the men who guarded the entrance to his palace.
Omiyo Ruoth Rehoboam nochwogo okumbni mag nyinyo mondo oket kar mane okawgo kendo nomiyo jotelo mag jorit mane rito rangach midonjogo e dala ruoth.
11 After that, whenever the king went to the temple, the guards went with him, carrying those bronze shields. Then [when the king left, ] they would return the shields to the guards’ room.
E kinde moro amora mane ruoth dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, joritogo ne tingʼo kuodigo kendo bangʼe negidwokogi e od jorito.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled himself, Yahweh stopped being angry with him and did not get rid of him. Instead, he caused good things to happen in Judah.
Nikech Rehoboam nobolore, mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nowuok kuome kendo ne ok otieke chutho. To bende ne nitie gik moko mabeyo Juda.
13 King Rehoboam again was in complete control in Jerusalem and continued to be the king [of Judah]. He was 41 years old when he became the king. He ruled for 17 years in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh had chosen from all the tribes in Israel to be the place in which people were to worship him.
Ruoth Rehoboam nogurore motegno Jerusalem kendo nodhi nyime kaka ruoth. Ne en ja-higni piero angʼwen gachiel kane obedo ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni apar gabiriyo ka en Jerusalem dala maduongʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero kuom dhout jo-Israel duto mondo Nyinge obedie. Min mare ne nyinge Naama ma nyar jo-Amon.
14 Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah. She was from the Ammon people-group. Rehoboam did evil things because he did not try to find out what Yahweh wanted him to do.
Notimo richo nikech ne ok oketo chunye mondo odwar Jehova Nyasaye.
15 An account of all the things that Rehoboam did while he was the king, and lists of the members of his family, are in the scrolls written by the prophets Shemaiah and Iddo. The armies of Rehoboam and Jeroboam were constantly fighting each other.
Kuom weche mag loch Rehoboam aa chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, donge ondikgi e kitap Shemaya janabi kod mar Ido janen mandiko nonro mag ji? Ne nitiere lweny ma ok rum e kind Rehoboam gi Jeroboam.
16 When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
Rehoboam notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Abija wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
