2 Tarihi 12
1 Bayan mulkin Rehobowam ya kahu kamar sarki ya kuma yi ƙarfi, shi da dukan Isra’ila suka yi biris da dokar Ubangiji.
And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Domin sun yi rashin biyayya ga Ubangiji, saboda haka Shishak sarkin Masar ya yaƙi Urushalima a shekara ta biyar ta Sarki Rehobowam.
And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
3 Da kekunan yaƙi dubu ɗaya da ɗari biyu da kuma mahayan dawakai dubu haɗe da mayaƙan Libiyawa, Sukkatawa da kuma Kushawa waɗanda suka wuce ƙidaya suka zo tare da shi daga Masar,
With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.
4 ya ci biranen katanga na Yahuda har zuwa Urushalima.
And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Sai annabi Shemahiya ya zo wurin Rehobowam da kuma wajen shugabannin Yahuda waɗanda suka taru a Urushalima don tsoron Shishak, ya kuma faɗa musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Kun yi biris da ni; saboda haka, yanzu na bashe ku ga Shishak.’”
And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
6 Shugabannin Isra’ila da sarki suka ƙasƙantar da kansu suka ce, “Ubangiji mai adalci ne.”
And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
7 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga sun ƙasƙantar da kansu, sai wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Shemahiya, “Tun da yake sun ƙasƙantar da kansu, to, ba zan hallaka su ba, amma zan cece su, ba zan kwararo fushina ta hannun Shishak a kan Urushalima ba.
And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
8 Duk da haka za su zama bayinsa, don su san bambanci tsakanin yin mini bauta da kuma yin wa sarakunan sauran ƙasashe bauta.”
But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
9 Da Shishak sarkin Masar ya yaƙi Urushalima, sai ya kwashi ma’ajin haikalin Ubangiji da kuma ma’ajin fadan sarki. Ya kwashe kome da kome, har da garkuwoyin zinariyar da Solomon ya yi.
So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
10 Sai sarki Rehobowam ya ƙera garkuwoyin tagulla a madadin na zinariya, ya sa su a hannun shugabannin matsara na mashigin gidan sarki.
Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
11 Duk sa’ad da sarki ya tafi haikalin Ubangiji, masu tsaron sukan tafi tare da shi, suna riƙe da garkuwoyi, daga baya kuma su mai da su a ɗakin tsaro.
And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
12 Gama Rehobowam ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, fushin Ubangiji ya bar shi, ba a kuwa hallaka shi ƙaƙaf ba. Tabbatacce an yi’yan abubuwa masu kyau a Yahuda.
But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
13 Sarki Rehobowam ya kafa kansa daram a Urushalima, ya kuma ci gaba a matsayin sarki. Yana da shekara arba’in da ɗaya sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha bakwai a Urushalima, birnin da Ubangiji ya zaɓa daga dukan kabilan Isra’ila wanda zai sa Sunansa. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Na’ama ce, ita mutuniyar Ammon ce.
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.
14 Ya aikata mugunta domin bai sa zuciyarsa ga neman Ubangiji ba.
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Game da ayyukan mulkin Rehobowam, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, ba a rubuce suke a tarihin Shemahiya annabi da Iddo mai gani wanda yake zancen zuriyoyi ba? Aka kasance da yaƙe-yaƙe tsakanin Rehobowam da Yerobowam.
Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 Rehobowam ya huta da kakanninsa aka kuma binne shi a Birnin Dawuda. Abiya ɗansa kuma ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
