1 Hagi Rehoboamu'a Sekemi kumate vu'ne, na'ankure maka Israeli vahe'mo'za agrira kini azeri oti'naku ana kumate omeri tru hu'nazageno'e.
All [HYP] the people of [northern] Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
2 Hagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, Solomoninku'ma koro'ma huno Isipima umani'neregatira atreno e'ne.
When Jeroboam, who was still in Egypt, heard about that, he returned from Egypt [to Israel].
3 Hagi Israeli kva vahe'mo'za Jeroboamuna ke hazageno ege'za, maka Israeli vahe'tamine vu'za Rehoboamuna amanage hu'za ome asami'naze,
The [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and they went together [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to him,
4 negafa'a ra erizanke'za tamigeta amuho huta eri'zana erita e'none. Hagi menina kagra ana knatia eri oza hugeta fru huta eri'zanka'a erigantamneno.
“Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard [MET] for him. If you (lighten these loads/do not force us to work that hard), and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
5 Anagema hazageno'a, Rehoboamu'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, vuta eta huta 3'a kna umaniteta ete eho, hige'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
He replied, “Go away, and come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders and Jeroboam left.
6 Hagi vu'za ezama hazageno'a, Rehoboamu'a nefa Solomoni tavaonte'ma mani'nezama antahintahima nemiza ranra vahetami zamavare atru huno amanage huno zamantahige'ne, na'ane hu'na ama vahetmina kenona huzmantegahufi antahintahia namiho.
Then King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still living. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer those men?”
7 Hige'za amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze, Kagrama menima ama vahe'tmimofo eri'za vahe'ma mani'naku'ma hanunka knare kema hunezaminka zamagrama kantahige'naza zama hananke'za kagri eri'za vahe mani vava hu'za vugahaze.
They replied, “If you want to serve your people well, speak kindly to those men when you reply to them. If you do that, your people will always serve you faithfully.”
8 Hianagi Rehoboamu'a ana ranra vahetamimofo kea ontahi erinetreno, magokama fore'ma hu'naza vahetmima agri eri'zama e'neriza vahe'mokizmi antahintahi eri'naku,
But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now (his advisors/the ones who told him what would be good to do).
9 amanage huno zamantahige'ne, Tamagra antahintahitmia hinke'na antahineno. Na'ane hu'na ama vahetmimo'zama hu'za negafa'ma knanentake eri'zama tamigetama e'neruna eri'zana eri oza huranto hu'zama haza vahe'tmina kenona huzmantegahufi antahintahia namiho, huno zamantahigege'za,
He said to them, “What should I say to the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
10 agri'enema magoka zomare'naza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona hu'naze, Amanage hunka ana vahe'tmina zamasamio, katre nazamo'a nenfa amora agatere'ne.
They replied, “This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11 Hagi nenfa'a tamage huno knanentake eri'za tami'neanagi, anante antegofetu hu'na mago'ane knanentake eri'zana tamigahue. Hagi nenfa'a sefu knonu kema ontahizageno'a tamazeri fatgo hu'neanagi, nagra segintave sefu tamigahue, hunka zamasamio hu'za antahintahia ami'naze.
What I mean is that my father required you [to work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but [it will be as though] I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
12 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za 3'a knama evutege'za, Jeroboamu'ene maka Israeli vahetaminena Rehoboamunte e'naze.
So three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to Rehoboam again, as he had told them to do.
13 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a ranra vahe'mo'zama amiza antahintahia eri netreno, ana vahetamina knanentake ke hunezamanteno,
The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
14 kasefa vahe'mo'zama amiza antahintahi avaririno amanage hu'ne. Nenfa'a kna eriza tamami'neanagi, nagra anante antegofetu hu'na mago'ane knanentake eri'za tamigahue. Hagi nenfa'a sefu knonu kema ontahizageno'a tamazeri fatgo hu'neanagi, nagra segintave sefu tamigahue.
[He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
15 Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a ana vahe'mokizmi nanekea ontahi'ne. Hagi ana'ma hu'neana Ra Anumzamo'ma Silo kumateti ne' Nebati nemofo Ahi'zama asamigeno Jeroboamuma eme asami'nea kemo'a nena rgare'ne.
So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh wanted would occur, what he had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam [becoming king of the ten tribes].
16 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama kazama kini ne'mo'ma ke'zimima ontahige'za, amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze. Deviti nagapintira, tagra na'a eri'none? Tagra Jesi nemofo zana erisantia ohare'none. Hagi Israeli vahemota nontamirega vuta eta hiho. Hagi Deviti nagamota tamagra'a kegava hiho, hu'za nehu'za nozimirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.
When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not [RHQ] want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David [MTY], he can rule his own kingdom [MTY]!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
17 Hianagi mago'a Israeli vahe'ma Juda kumatamimpima nemaniza vahete Rehoboamu'a kegava huzmante'ne.
And [after that, ] the [only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribe of] Judah.
18 Anante Kini ne' Rehoboamu'a eri'za vahete kva ne'a Adoramuna huntegeno vige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za havenknonu ahe fri'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a Rehoboamu'a ame'ama huno karisi'a erifatgo nehuno, Jerusalemi freno vu'ne.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
19 Ana higeno ana knareti'ma eno menima ehanati'neana, Israeli vahe'mo'za Deviti nagapinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vahe'mo'zama kegavama huzmante'zankura zamavaresra nehu'za ha'rezmante'naze.
Ever since that time, the people of [the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants [MTY] of [King] David.
20 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama Jeroboamu'ma Isipiti'ma e'nea kema nentahi'za, ke hazageno atru'ma hu'za mani'nazafi ege'za, maka Israeli vahete kini azeri oti'naze. Ana hazageno Deviti naga'mo'za Juda nagake'za kegava hu'naze.
When the Israeli people heard that Jeroboam had returned [from Egypt], they invited him to come to a meeting, and there they appointed him to be the king of Israel. Only the people of the tribes of Judah [and Benjamin] continued to be loyal to [the kings descended from King] [MTY] David.
21 Hagi Solomoni ne'mofo Rehoboamu'a Jerusalemi kumate'ma enehanatino'a, Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteno mopama ete erino kegavama huzmante'nakura 180 tauseni'a sondia vahe Juda nagapinti'ene Benzamini nagapintira zamazeri atru hu'ne.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes [MTY] of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against the northern tribes of [MTY] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could [rule all the tribes of] his kingdom again.
22 Hianagi Anumzamo'a amanage huno kasnampa ne' Semaiana asami'ne,
But God spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
23 Juda kini ne' Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamune, maka Juda naga'ene, Benzameni naga'ene mago'a vahetaminena amanage hunka zamasamio,
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and the people from the northern tribe who live in Judah:
24 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, tamagra nagatami'a hara huozmantetma atreta kumitmirega viho. Na'ankure anazama fore'ma nehiana Nagra hugeno fore nehie! Hige'za Ra Anumzamo'ma hiankante ante'za kumazmirega vu'naze.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against your own relatives, the people of Israel. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all paid attention to what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they went home.
25 Ana higeno Jeroboamu'a Efraemi agona kokampi vuno Sekemu ku'mamofo kegina ome azeri hankavetino tro nehuno, ana kumapi mani'ne. Hagi anantetira vuno Penueli kuma kegina azeri hanavetino ki'ne.
Then Jeroboam’s workers built [walls around] Shechem [city] in the hilly area [where the descendants] of Ephraim [lived], and he ruled from there for a while. He and his workers then left there and went to Peniel [town], and they built walls around that town.
26 Hagi ana'ma nehuno'a, Jeroboamu'a amanage huno agu'afina antahintahia antahi'ne, Nagrama kvahu so'ema osnugeno'a amama kegavama hu'noa vahe'mo'za ete Deviti nagatega vugahaze.
Then Jeroboam said to himself, “If my people [continue to] go to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices to Yahweh at the temple there, soon they will again become loyal to Rehoboam, the king of Judah [DOU], and they will kill me.”
27 Hagi ama vahetamimo'za Jerusalemima Ra Anumzamofo mono nontegama ofama ome kresramnama vunaku'ma nevanageno'a, antahintahi zamimo'a rukrahe hinke'za ra zamimofo Juda kini ne, Rehoboamuntega ome ante'za nagrira nahe fri'za agri agiafi umanigahaze huno agu'afina antahi'ne.
28 Hagi ana antahintahima nentahino'a antahintahima ami vahe'mofo antahintahi erino tare golire bulimaka afu anentatre tro hunenteno, amanage huno vahetmina zamasmi'ne, Hago rama'agna Jerusalemia marerize. Hagi Israeli vahe'ma Isipiti'ma tamavre atiramino'ma e'nea anumzana ama'nagi keho nehuno,
So he consulted [his advisors, and then he did what they suggested]. He [told his workers to] make gold [statues of] two calves. Then he said to the people, “You have been going to Jerusalem [to worship] for a long time. It is a big trouble for you to continue going there. You people of Israel, look! These statues are the gods that brought our [ancestors] up from Egypt! [So you can worship these, here!]”
29 ana golire bulimakao afu anentatrema tro'ma hu'neana magora Beteli kumate nenteno, magora Dani kumate ante'ne.
He [told his workers to] place one of the statues in Bethel [city in the south] and one in Dan [city in the north].
30 Ana'ma hiana tusi kumi erifore hu'ne, na'ankure Israeli vahe'tmimo'za afeteragi, Dani kumatera vu'za ana kaza osu havi anumzana monora ome hunte'naze.
So [what Jeroboam did caused] the people [to] sin. Some of them went and worshiped the calf at Bethel, and others went and worshiped the other calf at Dan.
31 Hagi Jeroboamu'a agonaramimpina havi anumzamofo mono hunte nontmina kinenteno, Livae nagapintira zamazeri oranotino, ru nagapinti pristi vahe'tmina zamazeri oti'ne.
[Moses had declared that only men from the tribe of Levi would be priests, but] Jeroboam also told his workers to build shrines on hilltops, and then he appointed men who were not from the tribe of Levi to be priests.
32 Hagi ka'ma kokampima seli noma ki'za mani'zama e'naza zanku'ma antahimi'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za mono'ma nehazazamofo avaharo huno Jeroboamu'a 8ti ikamofo 15ni knazupa Beteli kumatera monora nehuno, ne'zana kreno ne'ne. Ana nehuno bulimakao afutamina aheno golire bulimakao anentama troma hunte'nerera Kresramana vunenteno, havi anumzantmimofo mono kuma'ma tro'ma hunteterema hu'nere'ma kegavamahu vahera, pristi vahetami zamazeri oti'ne.
He also appointed Adonijah and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram. They had a celebration at the end of October, like the celebration [of Living in Temporary Shelters] that occurred in Judah [each year]. On the altar [that they built] in Bethel, he offered sacrifices to the gold statues of calves that they had made, and he stationed the priests there at the shrines that his workers had built.
33 Hagi Jeroboamu'ma agra agesafinti'ma eri fore'ma hu'neana 8ti ikamofona 15 knazupa Beteli kumate'ma tro'ma hunte'nea kresramna vu itarera mareri'ne. Hagi ne'zama kreno neneno musema huno mono'ma hu kna erifore nehuno, ana itare marerino ofa hu'ne.
Jeroboam went up to that altar on that day in October which he himself had chosen. There on that altar he burned incense [to be a sacrifice]. And he declared that the people should celebrate that festival [on that same day every year].
