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.
Nangyari nang naging matatag na ang paghahari ni Rehoboam at malakas siya, tinalikuran niya ang mga kautusan ni Yahweh—kasama ang buong Israel.
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.
Nangyari na sa ikalimang taon ng paghahari ni Haring Rehoboam, sinalakay ni Shishak na hari ng Ehipto ang Jerusalem dahil hindi naging tapat ang mga tao kay Yahweh.
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.
Kasama niyang dumating ang kaniyang mga kawal na isang libo at dalawang daang karwahe at animnapung libong mangangabayo. Kasama niya ang hindi mabilang na mga kawal mula sa Ehipto: mga taga-Libya, mga taga-Sukuim at mga taga-Etiopia.
4 They captured many of the cities in Judah that had walls around them, and they came as far as Jerusalem.
Sinakop niya ang mga matatag na lungsod na pag-aari ng Juda at nakarating siya 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.’”
Ngayon, pumunta ang propetang si Semaias kay Rehoboam at sa mga pinuno ng Juda na nagtipun-tipon sa Jerusalem dahil kay Shishak. Sinabi ni Semaias sa kanila, “Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh. 'Tinalikuran ninyo ako, kaya ibinigay ko rin kayo sa mga kamay ni Shishak.”'
6 Then the king and the other Israeli leaders humbled themselves and said, “What Yahweh is doing to us is fair.”
Kaya nagpakumbaba ang mga prinsipe ng Israel at ang hari at sinabi, “Matuwid si Yahweh.”
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,
Nang makita ni Yahweh na nagpakumbaba sila, nagsalita si Yaweh sa pamamagitan ni Semaias, sinabi niya ito, “Nagpakumbaba sila. Hindi ko sila pupuksain. Sasagipin ko sila sa ganap na kapahamakan at hindi maibubuhos ang aking poot sa Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay ni 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.”
Gayon pa man, magiging mga tagapaglingkod niya sila, upang maunawaan nila kung paano ang maglingkod sa akin at ang maglingkod sa mga pinuno ng ibang mga bansa.”
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.
Kaya nilusob ni Shishak na hari ng Egipto ang Jerusalem at kinuha ang mga kayamanan sa tahanan ni Yahweh at ang mga kayamanan sa bahay ng hari. kinuha niya ang lahat, kinuha rin niya ang mga gintong kalasag na ginawa ni Solomon.
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.
Nagpagawa si Haring Rehoboam ng mga tansong kalasag bilang kapalit ng mga ito at ipinagkatiwala ang mga ito sa mga kamay ng pinuno ng mga tagabantay, na nagbabantay ng mga pintuan sa 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.
Nangyari na sa tuwing pumapasok ang hari sa tahanan ni Yaweh, binubuhat ng mga tagabantay ang mga kalasag at pagkatapos ay ibabalik sa silid ng mga tagabantay.
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.
Nang magpakumbaba si Rehoboam, nawala ang poot ni Yaweh sa kaniya, at hindi na niya pinuksa si Rehoboam nang lubusan; bukod dito may matatagpuan paring mabuti sa 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.
Kaya, pinalakas ni Haring Rehoboam ang kaniyang paghahari sa Jerusalem at nagpatuloy ang kaniyang pagiging hari. Apatnapu't isang taon si Rehoboam nang magsimula siyang maghari, at naghari siya ng labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, ang lungsod na pinili ni Yaweh sa lahat ng mga lipi ng Israel upang maipahayag ang kaniyang pangalan doon. Naama ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina na isang 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.
Masama ang kaniyang ginawa, dahil hindi niya itinuon ang kaniyang puso sa paghahanap kay Yahweh.
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.
Tungkol sa iba pang mga bagay na may kinalaman kay Rehoboam, mula umpisa at hanggang sa huli, hindi ba isinulat ang mga ito sa sulat ng propetang si Semaias at ng propetang si Iddo, na mayroon ding mga talaan ng mga angkan at ang malimit na digmaan sa pagitan ni Rehoboam at 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.
Namatay si Rehoboam at inilibing siyang kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno sa lungsod ni David. Si Abija na kaniyang anak ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.
