2 Maũndũ 12
1 Thuutha wa Rehoboamu kwĩhaanda ta mũthamaki na gũkorwo agĩte na hinya, we hamwe na Isiraeli yothe nĩmatiganĩirie watho wa Jehova.
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
2 Tondũ wa gũkorwo matarĩ ehokeku harĩ Jehova, Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire Jerusalemu mwaka wa gatano wa Mũthamaki Rehoboamu.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
3 Aarĩ na ngaari cia mbaara 1,200 na andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi 60,000, na thigari itangĩtarĩka cia kuuma Alubi, na Asukii, na Akushi arĩa mookĩte nake kuuma Misiri,
with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.
4 agĩtaha matũũra manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre ma Juda na agĩthiĩ nginya Jerusalemu.
And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Nake mũnabii Shemaia agĩũka kũrĩ Rehoboamu o na kũrĩ atongoria a Juda arĩa moonganĩte kũu Jerusalemu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Shishaka, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩmũndiganĩirie; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na niĩ ngũmũtiganĩria moko-inĩ ma Shishaka.’”
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Atongoria a Isiraeli hamwe na mũthamaki makĩĩnyiihia, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩ wa kĩhooto.”
And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.
7 Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Kuona atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndikũmananga no nĩngũmahonokia o narua. Mangʼũrĩ makwa matigũitĩrĩrio Jerusalemu na kũhũthĩra guoko gwa Shishaka.
And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 No rĩrĩ, megũtuĩka ndungata ciake, nĩgeetha mamenye ũtiganu wa kũndungatĩra na gũtungatĩra athamaki a mabũrũri ma kũngĩ.”
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 Rĩrĩa Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri aatharĩkĩire Jerusalemu-rĩ, agĩkuua igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Aakuuire indo ciothe, o hamwe na ngo cia thahabu iria Solomoni aathondekithĩtie.
And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩthondeka ngo cia gĩcango handũ ha icio cia mbere, agĩcinengera anene a arangĩri arĩa maaikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.
11 Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũthamaki aathiiaga hekarũ ya Jehova-rĩ, arangĩri acio maathiiaga hamwe nake makuuĩte ngo icio, na thuutha wa ũguo magacicookia nyũmba-inĩ ya arangĩri.
And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.
12 Tondũ Rehoboamu nĩenyiihirie, Jehova nĩamwehereirie marakara make, na ndaigana kũmũniina o biũ. Ti-itherũ nĩ kwarĩ na maũndũ mamwe mega kũu Juda.
And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.
13 Mũthamaki Rehoboamu nĩehaandire wega kũu Jerusalemu na agĩthiĩ o na mbere arĩ mũthamaki. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa Jehova aathuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kuo. Nyina etagwo Naama, na aarĩ Mũamoni.
And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru tondũ ndaatuĩte na ngoro yake kũrongooria Jehova.
And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.
15 Na ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Rehoboamu kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma Shemaia ũrĩa mũnabii, na ma Ido ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ marĩa maarĩtie ũhoro wa njiarwa? Gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu.
And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Rehoboamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo o kũu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Abija agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
