< 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.
A PAA ke aupuni o Rehoboama, a ikaika hoi ia, alaila haalele oia i ke kanawai o Iehova, a me ia pu ka Iseraela a pau.
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.
A i ka lima o ka makahiki o ke alii o Rehoboama, pii mai la o Sisaka, ke alii o Aigupita i Ierusalema, no ka mea, ua lawehala lakou ia Iehova,
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.
Me na kaa kaua he umikumamalua tausani, a me na hoohololio kanaono tausani, a me na kanaka i pau ole i ka heluia ka poe i hele pu me ia mai Aigupita mai; ka Luba, a me ka Suka, a me ka Kusa.
4 They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
Hoopio aku la oia i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa ma Iuda, a hiki mai la i Ierusalema.
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.’”
Alaila, hele mai o Semaia, ke kaula, io Rehoboama la, a i na 'lii o Iuda i hoakoakoaia ma Ierusalema mai mua mai o Sisaka, i aku la ia lakou, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia oukou, Ua haalele oukou ia'u, no ia mea, ua haalele aku au ia oukou iloko o ka lima o Sisaka.
6 Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
Hoohaahaa iho la na kaukaualii o ka Iseraela a me ka Moi ia lakou iho, i iho la, Ua pololei o Iehova.
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,
A ike o Iehova, ua hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Semaia, i mai la, Ua hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho; aole au e luku loa ia lakou, e haawi no au ia lakou i wahi maha iki, aole au e ninini i ko'u huhu maluna o Ierusalema ma ka lima o Sisaka.
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.”
Aka, e lilo lakou i poe kauwa nana, i ike lakou i ka hookauwa ana na'u, a me ka hookauwa ana na na aupuni o na aina.
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.
Alaila pii mai la Sisaka ke alii o Aigupita i Ierusalema, a hao iho la i ka waiwai o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, hao iho la oia i na mea a pau; a lawe no hoi i na palekaua gula a Solomona i hana'i.
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.
A hana ke alii o Rehoboama i mea e pani ai ko laila hakahaka, i na palekaua keleawe, a haawi ia mau mea iloko o ka lima o na luna o ka poe kiai, ka poe i malama i na puka o ka hale o ke alii.
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.
A i na wa a pau a ke alii i komo ai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, komo no ka poe kiai, a lawe mai ia mau mea, a hoihoi aku no hoi ia mau mea iloko o ke keena o ka poe kiai.
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.
A i kona hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho, huli ae la ka huhu o Iehova mai ona aku la, aole i pepehi ia ia a make: a ma ka aina o Iuda, ua maikai no na mea malaila.
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.
A hookupaaia ke alii ma Ierusalema, a noho alii iho la, no ka mea, he kanahakumamakahi na makahiki o Rehoboama i kona wa i hooalii'i, a noho alii ia i na makahiki he umikumamahiku, ma Ierusalema, ke kulanakauhale a Iehova i wae ai maloko o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, e kau mai i kona inoa malaila. A o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Naama no ka Amona.
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.
A hana oia i ka hewa, no ka mea, aole ia i hoomakaukau i kona naau e imi ia Iehova.
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.
A o na mea mua a me na mea hope a Rehoboama i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Semaia ke kaula, a me Ido ka mea wanana ma ka palapala kuauhau? A he kaua ia Rehoboama, a me Ieroboama i ko laua mau la a pau loa.
16 When Rehoboam died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Abijah became the king.
A hiamoe iho la o Rehoboama me kona mau kupuna; a ua kanuia oia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida. A noho alii iho la o Abiia kana keiki mahope ona.
