< II Oihanaalii 12 >
1 A PAA ke aupuni o Rehoboama, a ikaika hoi ia, alaila haalele oia i ke kanawai o Iehova, a me ia pu ka Iseraela a pau.
And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
2 A i ka lima o ka makahiki o ke alii o Rehoboama, pii mai la o Sisaka, ke alii o Aigupita i Ierusalema, no ka mea, ua lawehala lakou ia Iehova,
Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
3 Me na kaa kaua he umikumamalua tausani, a me na hoohololio kanaono tausani, a me na kanaka i pau ole i ka heluia ka poe i hele pu me ia mai Aigupita mai; ka Luba, a me ka Suka, a me ka Kusa.
with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.
4 Hoopio aku la oia i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa ma Iuda, a hiki mai la i Ierusalema.
And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
5 Alaila, hele mai o Semaia, ke kaula, io Rehoboama la, a i na 'lii o Iuda i hoakoakoaia ma Ierusalema mai mua mai o Sisaka, i aku la ia lakou, Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia oukou, Ua haalele oukou ia'u, no ia mea, ua haalele aku au ia oukou iloko o ka lima o Sisaka.
Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
6 Hoohaahaa iho la na kaukaualii o ka Iseraela a me ka Moi ia lakou iho, i iho la, Ua pololei o Iehova.
And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
7 A ike o Iehova, ua hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Semaia, i mai la, Ua hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho; aole au e luku loa ia lakou, e haawi no au ia lakou i wahi maha iki, aole au e ninini i ko'u huhu maluna o Ierusalema ma ka lima o Sisaka.
And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Aka, e lilo lakou i poe kauwa nana, i ike lakou i ka hookauwa ana na'u, a me ka hookauwa ana na na aupuni o na aina.
Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
9 Alaila pii mai la Sisaka ke alii o Aigupita i Ierusalema, a hao iho la i ka waiwai o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, hao iho la oia i na mea a pau; a lawe no hoi i na palekaua gula a Solomona i hana'i.
And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.
10 A hana ke alii o Rehoboama i mea e pani ai ko laila hakahaka, i na palekaua keleawe, a haawi ia mau mea iloko o ka lima o na luna o ka poe kiai, ka poe i malama i na puka o ka hale o ke alii.
In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
11 A i na wa a pau a ke alii i komo ai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, komo no ka poe kiai, a lawe mai ia mau mea, a hoihoi aku no hoi ia mau mea iloko o ke keena o ka poe kiai.
And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
12 A i kona hoohaahaa ana ia ia iho, huli ae la ka huhu o Iehova mai ona aku la, aole i pepehi ia ia a make: a ma ka aina o Iuda, ua maikai no na mea malaila.
Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
13 A hookupaaia ke alii ma Ierusalema, a noho alii iho la, no ka mea, he kanahakumamakahi na makahiki o Rehoboama i kona wa i hooalii'i, a noho alii ia i na makahiki he umikumamahiku, ma Ierusalema, ke kulanakauhale a Iehova i wae ai maloko o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, e kau mai i kona inoa malaila. A o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Naama no ka Amona.
Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
14 A hana oia i ka hewa, no ka mea, aole ia i hoomakaukau i kona naau e imi ia Iehova.
But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
15 A o na mea mua a me na mea hope a Rehoboama i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Semaia ke kaula, a me Ido ka mea wanana ma ka palapala kuauhau? A he kaua ia Rehoboama, a me Ieroboama i ko laua mau la a pau loa.
Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
16 A hiamoe iho la o Rehoboama me kona mau kupuna; a ua kanuia oia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida. A noho alii iho la o Abiia kana keiki mahope ona.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
