Rehoroboamu alipofiki Yerusalemu, akawakusanya nyumba ya Yuda na Benyamini, wanaume 180, 000 walaiaochaguliwa amabao wliakuwa wanajeshi, kwa ajili ya kupigana dhiidi ya Israeli, ili kuurudisha ufalme kwa Rehoboamu.
2 And the word of the Lord was maad to Semeye, the man of God,
Lakini neno la Yahwe likamjia Shemaya mtu wa Mungu, likisema,
3 and seide, Speke thou to Roboam, the sone of Salomon, kyng of Juda, and to al Israel, which is in Juda and Beniamyn; The Lord seith these thingis,
“Sema kwa Rehoboamu mwana wa Selemani, mfalme wa Yuda, na kwa Israeli kataika Yuda na Benyamaini,
4 Ye schulen not stie, nethir ye schulen fiyte ayens youre britheren; ech man turne ayen in to his hows, for this thing is doon bi my wille. And whanne thei hadden herd the word of the Lord, thei turneden ayen, and yeden not ayens kyng Jeroboam.
Yahwe anasema hivi, “Msivamie wala kufanya vita dhidi ya ndugu zako. Kila mmoja lazima arudi kwenye nyumba yake, kwa maana nimesababisha jambo hili kutokea.” Kwa hiyo wakayatii maneno ya Yahwe na kuacha kumvamia Yeroboamu.
5 Forsothe Roboam dwellide in Jerusalem, and he bildide wallid citees in Juda;
Yeroboamu akaishi katika Yerusalemu na kujenga miji katika Yuda kwa ajili ya kujilinda.
6 and bildide Bethleem, and Ethan, and Thecue, and Bethsur;
Akaijenga Bethelehemu, EtamuTekoa,
7 and Sochot, and Odollam;
Bethsusi, Soko, Adulamu,
8 also and Jeth, and Maresa, and Ziph;
Gathi, Maresha, Zifu,
9 but also Huram, and Lachis, and Azecha;
Adoraimu, Lakishi, Azeka,
10 and Saraa, and Hailon, and Ebron, that weren in Juda and Beniamyn, ful strong citees.
Sora, Aiyaloni, na Hebroni. Hii ni miji yenye ngome katika Yuda na Benyamini.
11 And whanne he hadde closid tho with wallis, he settide `in tho citees princes, and bernes of metis, that is, of oile, and of wyn.
Akaziimarisha ngome na kuweka maamri jeshsi ndani yake, pamaoja na hazina ya chakula, mafuta, na divai.

Akaweka ngao na mikuki katika miji yote na kuifanya imara sana. Kwa hiyo Yuda na Benyamini zikawa zake.
13 Sotheli the preestis and dekenes, that weren in al Israel, camen to hym fro alle her seetis,
Makuhani na Walawi waliokuwa katika Israeli yote wakaenda kwake kutoka ndani ya mipaka yao.
14 and forsoken her subarbis and possessiouns, and thei passiden to Juda and to Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and hise aftir comeris hadden cast hem a wey, that thei schulden not be set in preesthod of the Lord;
Kwa kuwa Walawi waliacha nchi za malisho yao na mali zao ili kuja Yuda na Yerusalemu, kwa maana
15 which Jeroboam made to hym preestis of hiye places, and of feendis, and of caluys, which he hadde maad.
Yeroboamu na wanaaye walikuwa wamewafukuza, ili kwamba wasifanye majukumu yao ya kikuhani kwa ajili ya sehemu za juu na mbuzi na sanamu za ndama alizokuwa ametengeneza.
16 But also of alle the linagis of Israel, whiche euer yauen her herte to seke the Lord God of Israel, thei camen to Jerusalem for to offre her sacrifices bifor the Lord God of her fadris.
Watu kutoka kabila zote za Israeli wakaja nyuma yao, wale walio wameiilekeza mioyo yao kumtafuta Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli; wakaja Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya kumtolea dhabihu Yahwe. Mungu wa baba zao.
17 And thei strengthiden the rewme of Juda, and strengthiden Roboam, the sone of Salomon, bi thre yeer; for thei yeden in the weies of Dauid, and of Salomon, oneli bi thre yeer.
Kwa hiyo wakauimarisha ufalame wa Yuda na kumfanya imara Rehoboamu mwana wa Selemani kwa miaka mitatu, na wakatembea kwa miaka mitatu katika njia ya Daudi na Selemani.

Rehoboamu akajitwalia mke: Mahalathi, binti wa Yerimothi, mwana wa Daudi na wa Abihaili, binti wa Eliabu, mwana wa Yese.
19 and sche childide to hym sones, Yeus, and Somorie, and Zerei.
Akamzalia wana: Yeushi, Shemaraia, na Zahamu.
20 Also after this wijf he took Maacha, the douyter of Abissalon, and sche childide to hym Abia, and Thai, and Ziza, and Salomyth.
Baaad ya Mahalathi, Rehoboamu akamchukua Maaka, binti Absalomu; akamzalia Abiya, Atai, Ziza, na Shelomithi.
21 Forsothe Roboam louyde Maacha, the douytir of Abissalon, aboue alle hise wyues and secundarie wyues. Forsothe he hadde weddid eiytene wyues, sotheli sixti secundarie wyues; and he gendride eiyte and twenti sones, and sixti douytris.
Rehoboamu akampenda Maaka, binti Solomoni, zaidi kuliko wake za wengine wote na masuria (alichukua wake kumi na nane na masuria sitini, na akawa baba wa wana ishirini na nane na mabinti sitini).
22 Sotheli he ordeynede Abia, the sone of Maacha, in the heed, duyk ouer alle hise britheren; for he thouyte to make Abia kyng,
Rehoboamu akamteua Abiya mwana wa Maaka kuwa mkuu, kiongozi miongoni mwa ndugu zake alikuwa na wazo la kumfanya mfalme.
23 for he was wisere and myytiere ouer alle hise sones, and in alle the coostis of Juda and of Beniamyn, and in alle wallid citees; and he yaf to hem ful many metis, and he had many wyues.
Rehoboamu akatawala kwa hekima; akawatawanya wanaye katika nchi yote ya Yuda na Benyamini katika kila mji imara. Pia akawapa chakula kwa wingi na akatafuta wake wengi kwa ajili yao.
