2 Maũndũ 11
1 Rĩrĩa Rehoboamu aakinyire Jerusalemu, akĩũngania andũ a kuuma nyũmba ya Juda na Benjamini, andũ a kũrũa mbaara 180,000, nĩgeetha makarũe na Isiraeli, nĩguo macookerie Rehoboamu ũthamaki.
And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered of the house of Iudah and Beniamin nine score thousande chosen men of warre to fight against Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam.
2 No rĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia mũndũ wa Ngai, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
But the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 “Thiĩ wĩre Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni mũthamaki wa Juda, na wĩre andũ a Isiraeli othe kũu Juda na Benjamini atĩrĩ,
Speake vnto Rehoboam, the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and to all Israel that are in Iudah, and Beniamin, saying,
4 ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Tigai kwambata mũkahũũrane na ariũ a ithe wanyu. O mũndũ wothe wanyu nĩacooke mũciĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩ niĩ njĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩathĩkĩra ciugo cia Jehova na magĩtiganĩria ũhoro wa gũthiĩ kũhithũkĩra Jeroboamu.
Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.
5 Rehoboamu agĩtũũra Jerusalemu na agĩaka matũũra ma ũgitĩri kũu Juda, namo nĩ maya:
And Rehoboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and buylt strong cities in Iudah.
6 Bethilehemu, na Etamu, na Tekoa,
Hee buylt also Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 na Bethi-Zuru, na Soko, na Adulamu,
And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 na Gathu, na Maresha, na Zifu,
And Gath, and Maresha, and Ziph,
9 na Adoraimu, na Lakishi, na Azeka,
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 na Zora, na Aijaloni, na Hebironi. Maya maarĩ matũũra manene mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya kũu Juda na Benjamini.
And Zorah, and Aialon, and Hebron, which were in Iudah and Beniamin, strong cities.
11 Agĩĩkĩra ũgitĩri wamo hinya na akĩiga anene a mbũtũ cia mbaara kuo, o hamwe na mĩthiithũ ya irio, na maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ, na ndibei.
And he repaired the strong holdes and put captaines in them, and store of vitaile, and oyle and wine.
12 Nĩaigire ngo na matimũ matũũra-inĩ macio manene, na agĩtũma magĩe hinya mũno. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Juda na Benjamini gũgĩtuĩka gwake.
And in all cities he put shieldes and speares, and made them exceeding strong: so Iudah and Beniamin were his.
13 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii kuuma ngʼongo ciao ciothe kũu Isiraeli guothe maarĩ mwena wake.
And the Priests and the Leuites that were in all Israel, resorted vnto him out of all their coastes.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Alawii nĩmatiganĩirie ũrĩithio wao na indo ciothe, magĩũka Juda na Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo Jeroboamu na ariũ ake nĩmamagiririe kũruta wĩra ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova.
For the Leuites left their suburbes and their possession, and came to Iudah and to Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes had cast them out from ministring in the Priestes office vnto the Lord.
15 Nake agĩthuura athĩnjĩri-ngai ake mwene nĩ ũndũ wa kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũrutĩra magongona mĩhianano ya mbũri na ya njaũ ĩrĩa aathondekete.
And he ordeyned him Priests for the hie places, and for the deuils and for the calues which he had made.
16 Andũ othe a kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli arĩa maahaarĩirie ngoro ciao kũmaatha Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, magĩkĩrũmĩrĩra Alawii nginya Jerusalemu makarutĩre Jehova Ngai wa maithe mao magongona.
And after the Leuites there came to Ierusalem of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heartes to seeke the Lord God of Israel, to offer vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
17 Makĩongerera ũthamaki wa Juda hinya na makĩnyiitĩrĩra Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni handũ ha mĩaka ĩtatũ, na ihinda rĩu nĩmathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya Daudi na ya Solomoni.
So they strengthened the kingdome of Iudah, and made Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon mightie, three yeere long: for three yeere they walked in in the way of Dauid and Salomon.
18 Nake Rehoboamu nĩahikirie Mahalathu, ũrĩa warĩ mwarĩ wa mũriũ wa Daudi wetagwo Jerimothu na wa Abihaili mwarĩ wa mũrũ wa Jesii wetagwo Eliabu.
And Rehoboam tooke him Mahalath ye daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Ishai,
19 Nake akĩmũciarĩra aanake aya: Jeushu, na Shemaria, na Zahamu.
Which bare him sonnes Ieush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Ningĩ akĩhikia Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu, ũrĩa wamũciarĩire Abija, na Atai, na Ziza na Shelomithu.
And after her he tooke Maakah ye daughter of Absalom which bare him Abiiah, and Atthai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Rehoboamu nĩendire Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu gũkĩra atumia arĩa angĩ othe na gũkĩra thuriya ciake ciothe. Atumia ake othe maarĩ 18 na thuriya 60, ciana cia aanake 28, na cia airĩtu 60.
And Rehoboam loued Maakah ye daughter of Absalom aboue all his wiues and his concubines: for he tooke eighteene wiues, and three score concubines, and begate eyght and twentie sonnes, and three score daughters.
22 Rehoboamu nĩathuurire Abija mũrũ wa Maaka atuĩke mũriũ mũnene wa ariũ a ithe acio angĩ nĩgeetha akaamũtua mũthamaki.
And Rehoboam made Abiiah the sonne of Maakah the chiefe ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him King.
23 Nĩatũmĩrire ũũgĩ, akĩhurunjĩra ariũ ake amwe ngʼongo-inĩ ciothe cia Juda na Benjamini, na akĩmahurunjĩra matũũra-inĩ mothe manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre. Nĩamaheire mĩthiithũ mĩiganu, na akĩmacarĩria o mũndũ atumia aingĩ.
And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
