< 2 Chronicles 12 >
1 And it cometh to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he hath forsaken the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
Ma mgbe e mere ka alaeze Rehoboam guzosie ike, mgbe ọ dịkwa ike, ọ hapụrụ iwu Onyenwe anyị ya na ndị Izrel niile.
2 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, come up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem — because they trespassed against Jehovah —
Nʼihi na ha ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị, Shishak eze Ijipt busoro Jerusalem agha nʼafọ nke ise nke ọchịchị eze Rehoboam.
3 with a thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt — Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim —
O ji otu puku ụgbọ agha na narị abụọ, na ndị agha na-agba ịnyịnya dị puku iri isii, na ndị agha ụkwụ ala, ndị a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ, ndị agha si Libịa, Sukim na Kush, ndị sooro ya site nʼala Ijipt.
4 and he captureth the cities of the bulwarks that [are] to Judah, and cometh in unto Jerusalem.
O merikwara obodo niile e wusiri ike nke Juda ma bịarukwaa Jerusalem.
5 And Shemaiah the prophet hath come in unto Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered unto Jerusalem from the presence of Shishak, and saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, Ye have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak;'
Mgbe ahụ, Shemaya onye amụma bịakwutere Rehoboam na ndịisi Juda niile, ndị zukọtara na Jerusalem nʼihi egwu Shishak, sị ha, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Unu ahapụla m, nʼihi ya, ahapụkwala m unu, nyefee unu nʼaka Shishak.’”
6 and the heads of Israel are humbled, and the king, and they say, 'Righteous [is] Jehovah.'
Ndị ndu Izrel na eze wedara onwe ha nʼala sị, “Onye ezi omume ka Onyenwe anyị bụ.”
7 And when Jehovah seeth that they have been humbled, a word of Jehovah hath been unto Shemaiah, saying, 'They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I pour not out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị hụrụ otu ha si weda onwe ha nʼala, okwu Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere Shemaya, sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na ha ewedala onwe ha nʼala, agakwaghị m ebibi ha kama aga m eme ka ha nwe nzọpụta ngwangwa. Agakwaghị m eji Shishak gosi Jerusalem oke iwe m.
8 but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.'
Ma otu ọ dị, ha ga-abụrụ ya ohu, ka ha nwe ike mata ọ dị iche dị nʼetiti ijere m ozi na ijere ndị eze ala ọzọ dị iche iche ozi.”
9 And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king — the whole he hath taken — and he taketh the shields of gold that Solomon had made;
Mgbe Shishak eze Ijipt busoro Jerusalem nʼagha; o bukọrọ akụ niile dị nʼime ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na akụ niile dịkwa nʼụlọeze. Ọ kwakọọrọ ihe niile, werekwa ọta ọlaedo ndị ahụ Solomọn kpụrụ.
10 and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
Ma eze Rehoboam kpụrụ ọta bronz i ji dochie ndị ahụ, nyefee ha nʼaka ndịisi ndị nche, bụ ndị na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze nche ka a lekọta ha anya.
11 and it cometh to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
Mgbe ọbụla eze na-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị nche na-eso ya buru ọta ndị ahụ, emesịa, ha na-ebughachikwa ha nʼime ụlọ ndị nche.
12 And in his being humbled, turned back from him hath the wrath of Jehovah, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, in Judah there have been good things.
Mgbe eze wedara onwe ya nʼala, iwe Onyenwe anyị na-eweso ya dajụrụ, Ọ laghịkwa ya nʼiyi kpamkpam. Nʼezie, ezi ihe fọdụkwara na Juda.
13 And king Rehoboam strengtheneth himself in Jerusalem, and reigneth; for a son of forty and two years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah hath chosen to put His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
Eze Rehoboam mere onwe ya ka ọ dị ike na Jerusalem na-achịkwa ka eze. Ọ gbara iri afọ anọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze, ọ chịrị afọ iri na asaa na Jerusalem, bụ obodo ahụ Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site nʼetiti ebo niile nke Izrel, bụ ebe ọ ga-akpọkwasị Aha ya. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn.
14 and he doth the evil thing, for he hath not prepared his heart to seek Jehovah.
O mere ihe ọjọọ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị mgbe ọbụla o kpebiri nʼobi ya ịchọ Onyenwe anyị.
15 And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are] all the days;
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Rehoboam, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ nke Shemaya onye amụma na nke Ido onye ọhụ ụzọ, nke na-ahụ maka ihe banyere usoro ọmụmụ niile? Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Rehoboam na Jeroboam ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ha.
16 and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead.
Rehoboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Abija nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
