2 Tarihi 11
1 Sa’ad da Rehobowam ya iso Urushalima, ya tattara mayaƙa dubu ɗari takwas daga gidan Yahuda da Benyamin, don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila su sāke mai da mulki wa Rehobowam.
And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.
2 Amma wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ga Shemahiya mutumin Allah.
But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
3 “Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon sarkin Yahuda da kuma dukan Isra’ilawan da suke a Yahuda da Benyamin,
Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
4 ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku. Ku tafi gida kowannenku, gama wannan yi na ne.’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji suka kuma koma daga takawa don yaƙi da Yerobowam.
The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.
5 Rehobowam ya zauna a Urushalima ya kuma gina garuruwa don kāriya a cikin Yahuda.
Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.
6 Betlehem, Etam, Tekowa,
He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa
7 Bet-Zur, Soko, Adullam,
And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam
8 Gat, Maresha, Zif,
And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph
9 Adorayim, Lakish, Azeka,
And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah
10 Zora, Aiyalon da Hebron. Waɗannan su ne garuruwan katanga a cikin Yahuda da Benyamin.
And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin.
11 Ya ƙarfafa kāriyarsu ya kuma sa shugabannin mayaƙa a cikinsu, tare da tanadin abinci, man zaitun da kuma ruwan inabi.
And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.
12 Ya sa garkuwoyi da māsu a cikin dukan biranen, ya kuma sa suka zama da ƙarfi. Saboda haka Yahuda da Benyamin suka zama nasa.
And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
13 Firistoci da Lawiyawa daga dukan yankuna ko’ina a Isra’ila suka haɗa kai da shi.
And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.
14 Lawiyawa suka ma bar makiyayansu da mallakarsu, suka zo Yahuda da Urushalima domin Yerobowam da’ya’yansa maza sun ƙi su a matsayin firistocin Ubangiji.
For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;
15 Yerobowam ya naɗa firistocinsa domin masujadan kan tudu da kuma domin gumakan nan na akuya da maraƙin da ya yi.
And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.
16 Waɗanda suke daga kowane kabilar Isra’ila waɗanda suka sa zuciya a kan neman Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka bi Lawiyawa zuwa Urushalima don su miƙa hadayu ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
17 Suka ƙarfafa mulkin Yahuda suka kuma goyi bayan Rehobowam ɗan Solomon shekaru uku, suna tafiya a hanyoyin Dawuda da Solomon a wannan lokaci.
So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon.
18 Rehobowam ya auri Mahalat,’yar Yerimot ɗan Dawuda wadda Abihayil’yar Eliyab ɗan Yesse ta haifa.
And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;
19 Ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza. Yewush, Shemariya da Zaham.
And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Sa’an nan ya auri Ma’aka’yar Absalom, wadda ta haifa masa Abiya, Attai, Ziza da kuma Shelomit.
And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.
21 Rehobowam ya ƙaunaci Ma’aka’yar Absalom fiye da sauran matansa da ƙwarƙwaransa. Duka-duka dai ya auri mata goma sha takwas da ƙwarƙwarai sittin, yana da’ya’ya maza ashirin da takwas da’ya’ya mata sittin.
Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
22 Rehobowam ya naɗa Abiya ɗan Ma’aka yă zama babba yerima a cikin’yan’uwansa, don dai yă naɗa shi sarki.
Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.
23 Ya yi hikima, ya watsar da waɗansu’ya’yansa a dukan yankunan Yahuda da Benyamin, da kuma a dukan birane masu katanga. Ya ba su tanadi mai yawa ya kuma aurar musu mata masu yawa.
And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.
