Bere a Rehoboam duu Yerusalem no, ɔboaboaa Yuda ne Benyamin asraafo a wosi pi si ta mpem ɔha aduɔwɔtwe ano, sɛ wɔrekɔko atia Israel asraafo, na wɔagye ahenni no afa.
2 And the word of the Lord was maad to Semeye, the man of God,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa Semaia se,
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,
“Ka kyerɛ Salomo babarima Rehoboam a odi hene wɔ Yuda ne Israelfo a wɔwɔ Yuda ne Benyamin no se,
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.
Sɛnea Awurade se ni: ‘Nko ntia wʼabusuafo. San wʼakyi kɔ fie, efisɛ me na memaa asɛm a asi no ho kwan!’” Enti wotiee Awurade asɛm no, na wɔanko antia Yeroboam.
5 Forsothe Roboam dwellide in Jerusalem, and he bildide wallid citees in Juda;
Rehoboam tenaa Yerusalem, na ɔbɔɔ nkurow ahorow ho ban, maa Yuda yɛɛ den.
6 and bildide Bethleem, and Ethan, and Thecue, and Bethsur;
Ɔkyekyeree Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 and Sochot, and Odollam;
Bet-Sur, Soko, Adulam,
8 also and Jeth, and Maresa, and Ziph;
Gat, Maresa, Sif,
9 but also Huram, and Lachis, and Azecha;
Adoraim, Lakis, Aseka,
10 and Saraa, and Hailon, and Ebron, that weren in Juda and Beniamyn, ful strong citees.
Sora, Ayalon ne Hebron. Eyinom ne nkurow a wɔbɔɔ ho ban wɔ Yuda ne Benyamin.
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.
Rehoboam yeree wɔn bammɔ mu, na ɔde asahene duaduaa hɔ. Ɔkoraa nnuan, ngo ne nsa wɔ kuropɔn biara so.
12 But also in ech citee he made placis of armuris of scheeldis, and speris, and he made tho strong with most diligence; and he regnyde on Juda and Beniamyn.
Ɔde nkatabo ne mpeaw siee wɔ saa nkurow yi mu de hyɛɛ wɔn bammɔ mu den. Enti Yuda ne Benyamin nko ara na wɔbɛhyɛɛ nʼase.
13 Sotheli the preestis and dekenes, that weren in al Israel, camen to hym fro alle her seetis,
Asɔfo ne Lewifo a na wɔne Israel atifi fam mmusuakuw te no kɔɔ Rehoboam afa.
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;
Na Lewifo no mpo gyaw wɔn afi ne wɔn agyapade kɔɔ Yuda ne Yerusalem, efisɛ Yeroboam ne ne mmabarima amma wɔn kwan ansom Awurade sɛ asɔfo.
15 which Jeroboam made to hym preestis of hiye places, and of feendis, and of caluys, which he hadde maad.
Yeroboam yii nʼankasa asɔfo ma wɔsom wɔ abosonsomfo nsɔre so a na wɔsom abirekyi ne nantwimma ahoni a na wɔayɛ.
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.
Israelman mu nyinaa, wɔn a na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔsom Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no dii Lewifo no akyi kɔɔ Yerusalem faako a wobetumi de ayɛyɛde ama Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn no.
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.
Eyi maa Yuda ahenni nyaa ahoɔden, na wɔde mfe abiɛsa boaa Salomo babarima Rehoboam, na wɔhwehwɛɛ Awurade nokware, sɛnea wɔyɛɛ wɔ Dawid ne Salomo ahenni mu no.
18 Forsothe Roboam weddide a wijf Malaoth, the douytir of Jerymuth, sone of Dauid, and Abiail, the douytir of Heliab, sone of Ysaye;
Rehoboam waree Mahalat. Na ɔyɛ Dawid babarima Yerimot babea. Na ɔyɛ Abihail a ɔyɛ Yisai babarima Eliab babea nso.
19 and sche childide to hym sones, Yeus, and Somorie, and Zerei.
Mahalat woo mmabarima baasa a wɔne Yeus, Semaria ne Saham.
20 Also after this wijf he took Maacha, the douyter of Abissalon, and sche childide to hym Abia, and Thai, and Ziza, and Salomyth.
Akyiri no, ɔwaree Absalom babea Maaka. Maaka woo Abia, Atai, Sisa ne Selomit.
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.
Na Rehoboam dɔ Maaka yiye sen ne yerenom a wɔaka ne ne mpenanom nyinaa. Na ɔwɔ yerenom dunwɔtwe ne mpenanom aduosia, na wɔwowoo mmabarima aduonu awotwe ne mmabea aduosia.
22 Sotheli he ordeynede Abia, the sone of Maacha, in the heed, duyk ouer alle hise britheren; for he thouyte to make Abia kyng,
Rehoboam sii Maaka babarima Abia ahenemmahene ma ɛdaa adi pefee sɛ daakye, ɔno na obedi nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
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.
Bio, Rehoboam faa nyansakwan so de dwumadi hyehyɛɛ ne mmabarima a wɔaka no nsa, de wɔn tuatuaa nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban, wɔ nsase no nyinaa so. Ɔmaa wɔn wɔn ahiade nyinaa, hyehyɛɛ aware bebree maa wɔn mu biara.
