< 2 Chronicles 11 >
1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were soldiers, to fight against Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Sa’ad da Rehobowam ya iso Urushalima, ya tattara mayaƙa dubu ɗari takwas daga gidan Yahuda da Benyamin, don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila su sāke mai da mulki wa Rehobowam.
2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Amma wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ga Shemahiya mutumin Allah.
3 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
“Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon sarkin Yahuda da kuma dukan Isra’ilawan da suke a Yahuda da Benyamin,
4 'Yahweh says this, “You must not attack or make war against your brothers. Everyone must return to his own house, for I have caused this to happen.”'” So they obeyed the words of Yahweh and turned back from attacking Jeroboam.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku. Ku tafi gida kowannenku, gama wannan yi na ne.’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji suka kuma koma daga takawa don yaƙi da Yerobowam.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built cities in Judah for defense.
Rehobowam ya zauna a Urushalima ya kuma gina garuruwa don kāriya a cikin Yahuda.
6 He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
Betlehem, Etam, Tekowa,
7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam,
Bet-Zur, Soko, Adullam,
9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
Adorayim, Lakish, Azeka,
10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These are fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
Zora, Aiyalon da Hebron. Waɗannan su ne garuruwan katanga a cikin Yahuda da Benyamin.
11 He fortified the fortresses and put commanders in them, with stores of food, oil, and wine.
Ya ƙarfafa kāriyarsu ya kuma sa shugabannin mayaƙa a cikinsu, tare da tanadin abinci, man zaitun da kuma ruwan inabi.
12 He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Ya sa garkuwoyi da māsu a cikin dukan biranen, ya kuma sa suka zama da ƙarfi. Saboda haka Yahuda da Benyamin suka zama nasa.
13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel went over to him from within their borders.
Firistoci da Lawiyawa daga dukan yankuna ko’ina a Isra’ila suka haɗa kai da shi.
14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and property in order to come to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had driven them away, so that they could no longer perform priestly duties for Yahweh.
Lawiyawa suka ma bar makiyayansu da mallakarsu, suka zo Yahuda da Urushalima domin Yerobowam da’ya’yansa maza sun ƙi su a matsayin firistocin Ubangiji.
15 Jeroboam appointed for himself priests for the high places and the goat and calf idols he had made.
Yerobowam ya naɗa firistocinsa domin masujadan kan tudu da kuma domin gumakan nan na akuya da maraƙin da ya yi.
16 People from all the tribes of Israel came after them, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel; they came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
Waɗanda suke daga kowane kabilar Isra’ila waɗanda suka sa zuciya a kan neman Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka bi Lawiyawa zuwa Urushalima don su miƙa hadayu ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam son of Solomon strong during three years, and they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Suka ƙarfafa mulkin Yahuda suka kuma goyi bayan Rehobowam ɗan Solomon shekaru uku, suna tafiya a hanyoyin Dawuda da Solomon a wannan lokaci.
18 Rehoboam took a wife for himself: Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, David's son, and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, Jesse's son.
Rehobowam ya auri Mahalat,’yar Yerimot ɗan Dawuda wadda Abihayil’yar Eliyab ɗan Yesse ta haifa.
19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
Ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza. Yewush, Shemariya da Zaham.
20 After Mahalath, Rehoboam took Maacah, Absalom's daughter; she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
Sa’an nan ya auri Ma’aka’yar Absalom, wadda ta haifa masa Abiya, Attai, Ziza da kuma Shelomit.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah, Absalom's daughter, more than all his other wives and his concubines (he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).
Rehobowam ya ƙaunaci Ma’aka’yar Absalom fiye da sauran matansa da ƙwarƙwaransa. Duka-duka dai ya auri mata goma sha takwas da ƙwarƙwarai sittin, yana da’ya’ya maza ashirin da takwas da’ya’ya mata sittin.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah to be chief, a leader among his brothers; he had the thought of making him king.
Rehobowam ya naɗa Abiya ɗan Ma’aka yă zama babba yerima a cikin’yan’uwansa, don dai yă naɗa shi sarki.
23 Rehoboam ruled wisely; he scattered all his sons throughout all the land of Judah and Benjamin to every fortified city. He also gave them food in abundance and looked for many wives for them.
Ya yi hikima, ya watsar da waɗansu’ya’yansa a dukan yankunan Yahuda da Benyamin, da kuma a dukan birane masu katanga. Ya ba su tanadi mai yawa ya kuma aurar musu mata masu yawa.
