And the word of the Lord was maad to Semeye, the man of God,
3 “Gwa Rehoboam, nwa Solomọn eze Juda, na Izrel niile nọ na Juda na Benjamin,
and seide, Speke thou to Roboam, the sone of Salomon, kyng of Juda, and to al Israel, which is in Juda and Beniamyn; The Lord seith these thingis,
4 Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Unu agakwala gaa buso ndị Izrel ibe unu agha. Laghachinụ, nwoke ọbụla nʼụlọ ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ m na-eme ihe ndị a.’” Ya mere, ha rubere isi nʼokwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị. Ha tụgharịrị laghachi azụ nʼịga megide Jeroboam.
Ye schulen not stie, nethir ye schulen fiyte ayens youre britheren; ech man turne ayen in to his hows, for this thing is doon bi my wille. And whanne thei hadden herd the word of the Lord, thei turneden ayen, and yeden not ayens kyng Jeroboam.

17 Ha mere ka alaeze Juda sie ike. Ha kwagidekwara Rehoboam nwa Solomọn afọ atọ, na-agbasokwa nʼụzọ niile nke Devid na Solomọn nʼoge a.
And thei strengthiden the rewme of Juda, and strengthiden Roboam, the sone of Salomon, bi thre yeer; for thei yeden in the weies of Dauid, and of Salomon, oneli bi thre yeer.
18 Rehoboam, lụrụ Mahalat, bụ nwa nwanyị Jerimot nwa Devid, na Abihail, nwa nwanyị Eliab, nwa Jesi.
