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.
At nangyari, nang matatag ang kaharian ni Roboam at siya'y malakas, na kaniyang iniwan ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at ang buong Israel ay kasama niya.
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.
At nangyari nang ikalimang taon ng haring Roboam, na si Sisac na hari sa Egipto ay umahon laban sa Jerusalem, sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa Panginoon,
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.
Na may isang libo at dalawang daang karo, at anim na pung libong mangangabayo. At ang bayan ay walang bilang na naparoong kasama niya mula sa Egipto; ang mga Lubim, ang mga Sukim, at ang mga taga Etiopia.
4 They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
At sinupok niya ang mga bayang nakukutaan na nauukol sa Juda, at naparoon sa 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.’”
Si Semeias nga na propeta ay naparoon kay Roboam, at sa mga prinsipe ng Juda, na pagpipisan sa Jerusalem dahil kay Sisac, at nagsabi sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Inyo akong pinabayaan, kaya't iniwan ko naman kayo sa kamay ni Sisac.
6 Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
Nang magkagayo'y ang mga prinsipe ng Israel at ang hari ay nagpakababa; at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay matuwid.
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,
At nang makita ng Panginoon na sila'y nangagpakumbaba, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Semeias, na sinasabi, Sila'y nangagpakumbaba; hindi ko gigibain sila: kundi aking bibigyan sila ng kaunting pagliligtas, at ang aking galit ay hindi mabubugso sa Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Sisac.
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.”
Gayon ma'y sila'y magiging kaniyang alipin; upang kanilang makilala ang paglilingkod sa akin, at ang paglilingkod sa mga kaharian ng mga lupain.
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.
Sa gayo'y umahon si Sisac na hari sa Egipto laban sa Jerusalem, at dinala ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari; kaniyang kinuhang lahat: kaniyang kinuha pati ng mga kalasag na ginto na ginawa ni Salomon.
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.
At ang haring Roboam ay gumawa ng mga kalasag na tanso na kahalili ng mga yaon, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga kamay ng mga punong kawal ng bantay, na nagsisipagingat ng pintuan ng bahay ng hari.
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.
At nangyari, na kung gaanong kadalas pumapasok ang hari sa bahay ng Panginoon, ang bantay ay naparoroon at dinadala ang mga yaon, at ibinabalik sa silid ng bantay.
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.
At nang siya'y magpakumbaba, ang galit ng Panginoon ay nahiwalay sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y hindi lubos na pinatay: at bukod dito'y may nasumpungan sa Juda na mga mabuting bagay.
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.
Sa gayo'y ang haring Roboam ay nagpakalakas sa Jerusalem at naghari: sapagka't si Roboam ay may apat na pu't isang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at siya'y nagharing labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, na bayang pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat na lipi ng Israel, upang ilagay ang kaniyang pangalan doon: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita.
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.
At siya'y gumawa ng masama, sapagka't hindi niya inilagak ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang Panginoon.
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.
Ang mga gawa nga ni Roboam, na una at huli, di ba nangasusulat sa kasaysayan ni Semeias na propeta at ni Iddo na tagakita, ayon sa ayos ng mga talaan ng lahi? At nagkaroong palagi ng mga digmaan si Roboam at si 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.
At si Roboam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang at nalibing sa bayan ni David: at si Abias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
