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 Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, 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, [that] in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
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 threescore thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
4 agĩtaha matũũra manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre ma Juda na agĩthiĩ nginya Jerusalemu.
And he took the fenced cities which [pertained] 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.’”
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, 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.”
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [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 the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some 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.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which 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.
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that 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 when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
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 wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
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.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD 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, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
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.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? 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.
