2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
Mgbe Rehoboam bịarutere Jerusalem, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ụlọ Juda niile na ndị ebo Benjamin, ha dị narị puku na iri asatọ nʼọnụọgụgụ, ụmụ okorobịa ndị tozuru ịga agha, ka ha gaa buso ụlọ Izrel agha ma weghachitekwa alaeze nʼokpuru ọchịchị Rehoboam.
2 And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
Ma okwu Onyenwe anyị rutere Shemaya, onye nke Chineke ntị:
3 'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Gwa Rehoboam, nwa Solomọn eze Juda, na Izrel niile nọ na Juda na Benjamin,
4 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Unu agakwala gaa buso ndị Izrel ibe unu agha. Laghachinụ, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ m na-eme ihe ndị a.’” Ya mere, ha rubere isi nʼokwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị. Ha tụgharịrị laghachi azụ nʼịga megide Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,
Rehoboam bigidere na Jerusalem wusie obodo ndị dị na Juda ike nʼihi nchedo.
6 yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,
Obodo ndị a bụ Betlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
Bet Zoa, Soko, Adulam,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gat, Maresha, Zif,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
na Adoraim, Lakish, Azeka
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
Zora, Aijalon na Hebrọn. Obodo ndị a bụkwa obodo ndị Juda na Benjamin e wusiri ike.
11 And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
O wusiri ha ike tinye ndịisi agha nʼime ha, tinyekwa ihe oriri na mmanụ oliv na mmanya.
12 and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
O tinyere ọta na ùbe nʼebe niile a na-edebe ngwa agha nʼobodo niile, nʼihi iche obodo ya nke ọma, ebe ọ bụ naanị Juda na Benjamin nọ nʼokpuru ya.
13 And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
Ma ndị nchụaja niile na ndị Livayị ndị sitere nʼakụkụ niile nke Izrel dịnyere ya.
14 for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah,
Ndị Livayị hapụchara ebe ịta nri anụ ụlọ ha na ihe niile ha nwere bịa biri na Juda na Jerusalem, nʼihi na Jeroboam na ụmụ ya ndị ikom jụrụ ha dịka ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị.
15 and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made —
Ọ họpụtara ndị nchụaja nke aka ya, maka ebe niile dị elu, nakwa ife arụsị ewu na nwa ehi ndị ahụ ọ kpụrụ.
16 and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.
Ndị si nʼebo niile nke Izrel, ndị kpebiri nʼobi ha ịchọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sooro ndị Livayị bịa Jerusalem ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ha.
17 And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
Ha mere ka alaeze Juda sie ike. Ha kwagidekwara Rehoboam nwa Solomọn afọ atọ, na-agbasokwa nʼụzọ niile nke Devid na Solomọn nʼoge a.
18 And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
Rehoboam, lụrụ Mahalat, bụ nwa nwanyị Jerimot nwa Devid, na Abihail, nwa nwanyị Eliab, nwa Jesi.
19 And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
Ọ mụtaara ya ụmụ ndị ikom atọ ndị a: Jeush, na Shemaraya, na Zaham.
20 And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Emesịa, ọ lụkwara nwunye ọzọ aha ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Absalọm. Ụmụ ha mụtara bụ Abija, na Atai, na Ziza, na Shelomit.
21 And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines — and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Rehoboam hụrụ Maaka nwa nwanyị Absalọm nʼanya karịa ndị nwunye ya na ndị iko ya nwanyị niile. O nwere ndị nwunye iri na asatọ, nweekwa iri ndị iko nwanyị isii. Ọ mụtara iri ndị ikom abụọ na asatọ, na iri ụmụ nwanyị isii.
22 And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.
Rehoboam mere Abija nwa Maaka onyeisi nʼetiti ụmụ eze niile nʼihi na ọ chọrọ ime ya eze.
23 And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.
O ji ezi uche zipụchaa ụmụ ya ndị ikom gaa nʼala ndị Juda na Benjamin, nakwa nʼobodo ndị ahụ e wusiri ike. O nyere ha ihe e ji elekọta ndụ nʼebe ọ bara ụba ma lụọkwara ha ọtụtụ ndị inyom.
