Ɛberɛ a Nebat babarima Yeroboam tee sɛ Salomo awuo no, ɔfiri Misraim baeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɔdwane firii ɔhene Salomo nsam kɔtenaa Misraim.

Enti, Israel mpanimfoɔ soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yeroboam, na Israel nnipadɔm no nyinaa kɔɔ Rehoboam nkyɛn, ne no kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
4 “Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no rĩu tũhũthĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩu iritũ rĩrĩa aatũigĩrĩire, na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”

5 Rehoboamu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgaacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ magĩĩthiĩra.
Rehoboam buaa sɛ, “Momma me nnansa na menwene mo asɛm yi ho. Ɛno akyi, mommra mmɛgye me mmuaeɛ.” Enti, nnipa no sane kɔeɛ.
6 Thuutha ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu akĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ athuuri arĩa maatungatagĩra ithe Solomoni rĩrĩa aarĩ muoyo. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩndaara njookerie andũ aya atĩa?”
Na ɔhene Rehoboam ne ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔsom nʼagya Salomo ɛberɛ a ɔte ase no tuu asɛm no ho agyina. Ɔbisaa mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Moka asɛm no ho ɛdeɛn? Mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa mma saa nnipa yi?”
7 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ ũngĩĩtĩkĩra gũtuĩka ndungata ya andũ aya na ũmatungatĩre, na ũmacookerie na njĩra njagĩrĩru-rĩ, megũtũũra marĩ ndungata ciaku hĩndĩ ciothe.”

8 No Rehoboamu akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa athuuri acio maamũheire, na akĩhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ aanake a riika rĩake, arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
Nanso Rehoboam amfa afotuo a mpanimfoɔ no tuu no no. Mmom, ɔkɔɔ nʼatipɛnfoɔ mmabunu bi a ɔne wɔn sii so a na wɔtu no fo no nkyɛn.
9 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũngĩndaara atĩa? Andũ aya maranjĩĩra atĩ, ‘Tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thoguo aatũigĩrĩire’ Ingĩmacookeria atĩa?”
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nso mo adwene ne sɛn? Mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa nkɔma nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ mete adesoa a mʼagya de soaa wɔn no so?”
10 Aanake acio a riika rĩake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Cookeria andũ acio makwĩrĩte atĩ, ‘Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, nowe tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩu,’ ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘kaara gakwa ka mũira nĩ gatungu gũkĩra njohero ya baba.
Nʼatipɛnfoɔ mmabunu buaa no sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔnwiinwii no sɛ, ‘Me kɔkorɔbɛto mu pi sene mʼagya asene; sɛ modwene sɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo so dodo a, montwɛn na monhwɛ sɛdeɛ mɛyɛ.’
11 Baba aamũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ; niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko; no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.’”
Aane, mʼagya yɛɛ den wɔ mo so, na mɛyɛ aboro saa. Mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me deɛ mede anyanyankyerɛ bɛkeka mo.”
12 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ Jeroboamu na andũ othe magĩcooka kũrĩ Rehoboamu, o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũgaacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.”
Nnansa akyi, Yeroboam ne nnipa no nyinaa sane baa sɛ wɔrebɛtie Rehoboam mmuaeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔkaeɛ no.
13 Mũthamaki agĩcookeria andũ acio ũhoro ehĩte mũno. Akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa aaheetwo nĩ athuuri,
Ɔhene no buaa nnipa no abufuo so. Wamfa mpanimfoɔ no afotuo no;
14 akĩrũmĩrĩra ũtaaro wa aanake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba nĩamũritũhĩirie icooki, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko; niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.”
ɔfaa mmabunu no afotuo. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mʼagya yɛɛ den wɔ mo so, na mɛyɛ aboro saa. Mʼagya hwee mo mpire na me deɛ mede anyanyankyerɛ bɛkeka mo.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria andũ acio, tondũ maũndũ macio meekĩkire moimĩte kũrĩ Jehova, nĩguo kiugo kĩhingio kĩrĩa Jehova eerire Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati na kanua ka Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni.
Enti, ɔhene no antie nnipa no adesrɛ. Sɛdeɛ nneɛma mu daneeɛ no nyinaa firi Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛmaa asɛm a Awurade nam Ahiya a ɔfiri Silo so ka kyerɛɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam no baa mu.
16 Rĩrĩa andũ othe a Isiraeli moonire atĩ mũthamaki ũcio nĩarega kũmathikĩrĩria, magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ na igai rĩrĩkũ harĩ Daudi, na nĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩkũ tũrĩ nakĩo harĩ mũrũ wa Jesii? Cooka hema-inĩ ciaku wee Isiraeli! Wee Daudi-rĩ, menyerera nyũmba yaku wee mwene.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩinũka.
Ɛberɛ a Israel nyinaa hunuu sɛ ɔhene anyɛ wɔn abisadeɛ amma wɔn no, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Yɛne Dawid nni hwee yɛ! Yɛne Yisai babarima no nni hwee yɛ! Israel, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn nkyi! Dawid, hwɛ wʼankasa wo fie so!” Enti, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn fie.
17 No andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmathamakĩra.
Na Rehoboam toaa so dii Israelfoɔ a wɔtenaa Yuda nkuro so no nyinaa so ɔhene.
18 Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩtũma Adoniramu ũrĩa warĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ arĩa maarutithagio wĩra na hinya, no andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, agĩkua. No Rehoboamu agĩĩthara, akĩhaica ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita, akĩũrĩra Jerusalemu.
Na ɔhene Rehoboam somaa Adoram a na ɔtua adwumayɛfoɔ ano no sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ, na asomdwoeɛ mmra, nanso Israel nyinaa sii no aboɔ, kumm no. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Rehoboam tee saa asɛm yi no, ntɛm ara, ɔhuri tenaa ne teaseɛnam mu, dwane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli matũire maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.
Israel mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ atifi fam no ampene sɛ Dawid aseni bɛdi wɔn so, de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
20 Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe maaiguire atĩ Jeroboamu nĩacookete kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩmũtũmanĩra oke kĩũngano-inĩ, na makĩmũtua mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe. Mũhĩrĩga wa Juda noguo wiki warũmĩrĩire nyũmba ya Daudi.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ tee sɛ Yeroboam firi Misraim asane aba no, wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu, sii no ɔhene wɔ Israel nyinaa so. Enti, Yuda abusuakuo no nko ara na wɔkaeɛ, somm Dawid fie nokorɛ mu.
21 Rĩrĩa Rehoboamu aakinyire Jerusalemu, akĩũngania andũ othe a nyũmba ya Juda na a mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini andũ 180,000 a kũrũa mbaara nĩgeetha makarũe na nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩguo macookerie Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni ũthamaki.
Ɛberɛ a Rehoboam duruu Yerusalem no, ɔboaboaa Yuda ne Benyamin akodɔm ano. Ɔyii akofoɔ mpem ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe, sɛ wɔrekɔko atia Israel akodɔm, na wɔafa ahemman no adi so.
22 No rĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Ngai gĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia mũndũ wa Ngai akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Nanso, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Semaia, Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ,
23 “Thiĩ wĩre Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni mũthamaki wa Juda, na nyũmba ya Juda yothe o na ya Benjamini na andũ arĩa angĩ othe, ũmeere atĩrĩ,
“Ka kyerɛ Salomo babarima Rehoboam, Yudahene ne nnipa a wɔfiri Yuda ne Benyamin sɛ,
24 ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Tigai kwambata mũkahũũrane na ariũ a ithe wanyu, andũ a Isiraeli. O mũndũ wanyu wothe nĩacooke mũciĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ njĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩathĩkĩra kiugo kĩa Jehova, magĩcooka mũciĩ o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte.
‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, Mo ne mo nuanom Israelfoɔ nntwa mo ho nko. Monsane nkɔ mo akyi, na deɛ asi no nyinaa firi me!’” Enti, wɔtiee Awurade asɛm no, sane kɔɔ wɔn fie sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
25 Nake Jeroboamu akĩirigĩra itũũra rĩa Shekemu na rũthingo rwa hinya thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, agĩtũũra kuo. Kuuma kũu agĩthiĩ agĩaka itũũra rĩa Penieli.
Yeroboam kyekyeree Sekem kuro wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase so, ma ɛbɛyɛɛ ne kuropɔn. Akyire yi, ɔkɔkyekyeree kuro Penuel.
26 Jeroboamu agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũthamaki wahota gũcookerera nyũmba ya Daudi.
Yeroboam dwenee ho dinn, see nʼakomam sɛ, “Sɛ manhwɛ yie a, ahemman no bɛsane akɔ Dawid fiefoɔ adedifoɔ nsam.
27 Andũ aya mangĩambata mathiĩ makarute magongona hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, nĩmagacooka gwathĩkĩra mwathi wao Rehoboamu mũthamaki wa Juda. Nĩmakanjũraga na macookerere Mũthamaki Rehoboamu.”
Na sɛ wɔkɔ Yerusalem, kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu nso a, wɔbɛsom Yudahene Rehoboam. Ɛba saa a, wɔbɛkum me, de ɔno mmom asi wɔn so ɔhene.”
28 Thuutha wa kũhooya ũtaaro, mũthamaki nĩathondekire mĩhianano ĩĩrĩ ya njaũ cia thahabu. Akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro wa kwambataga Jerusalemu nĩũkũmũritũhĩra mũno. Atĩrĩrĩ Isiraeli, ici ngai cianyu, iria ciamũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri.”
Enti, ɔtiee deɛ nʼafotufoɔ ka, na ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ anantwie mma mmienu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ ɔbrɛ bebree sɛ mobɛforo akɔ Yerusalem akɔsom. Ɛno enti, Israel, yeinom ne anyame a wɔyii mo firii Misraim!”
29 Mũhianano ũmwe akĩũiga Betheli, na ũrĩa ũngĩ akĩũiga Dani.
Ɔde nantwie mma ahoni yi sisii Israel anafoɔ ne atifi, wɔ Bet-El ne Dan.
30 Naguo ũndũ ũyũ ũgĩtuĩka mehia; nĩgũkorwo andũ nĩmathiiaga o nginya Dani kũhooya mũhianano ũrĩa warĩ kũu.
Yei bɛyɛɛ bɔne kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa no somm ahoni no, a na mpo wɔtwa ɛkwan kɔ Dan.
31 Jeroboamu nĩaakire mahooero kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na agĩthuura athĩnjĩri-ngai a kuuma kũrĩ andũ a mĩthemba yothe, o na gũtuĩka matiarĩ Alawii.
Yeroboam sisii abosonnan wɔ nkokoɔ so, na ɔpaa asɔfoɔ firii nnipa no mu a na wɔmfiri Lewi asɔfoɔ abusua mu.
32 Akĩambĩrĩria gĩathĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano mweri-inĩ wa ĩnana, ũtuĩke ta gĩathĩ kĩrĩa kĩagomanagwo Juda, na akĩrutĩra magongona kĩgongona-inĩ. Eekire ũguo kũu Betheli, akĩrutĩra mĩhianano ĩyo ya njaũ aathondekete magongona. Ningĩ kũu Betheli akĩiga athĩnjĩri-ngai kũndũ kũu gũtũũgĩru aathondekete.
