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.

URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayefike eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.

2 Hagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, Solomoninku'ma koro'ma huno Isipima umani'neregatira atreno e'ne.

Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, owayelokhu eseGibhithe, ekuzwa lokhu (ngoba wayebaleke esuka phambi kukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wahlala eGibhithe),

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,

bathuma bambiza. UJerobhowamu lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli basebesiza bakhuluma loRehobhowamu besithi:

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.

Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke wena yenza kube lula umsebenzi olukhuni kayihlo, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.

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.

Wasesithi kibo: Hambani futhi okwensuku ezintathu, libe selibuya kimi. Basebehamba abantu.

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.

Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa njani ukubuyisela impendulo kulababantu?

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.

Basebekhuluma kuyo besithi: Uba uzakuba yinceku yalababantu lamuhla ubasebenzele, ubaphendule, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, khona bezakuba zinceku zakho zonke izinsuku.

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,

Kodwa wasitshiya iseluleko sabadala ababemeluleke ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayemi phambi kwakhe.

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,

Wasesithi kuwo: Lipha seluleko bani ukuthi sibuyisele impendulo kulababantu abakhulume lami besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?

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.

Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma kuye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo kulababantu abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena yenza libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kibo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.

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.

Uba-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, mina-ke ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.

12 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za 3'a knama evutege'za, Jeroboamu'ene maka Israeli vahetaminena Rehoboamunte e'naze.

Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.

13 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a ranra vahe'mo'zama amiza antahintahia eri netreno, ana vahetamina knanentake ke hunezamanteno,

Inkosi yasibaphendula abantu kalukhuni, yatshiya iseluleko sabadala ababeyeluleke ngaso.

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.

Yakhuluma kubo njengokweseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.

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.

Ngalokho inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela eNkosini ukuze iqinise ilizwi layo, iNkosi eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.

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.

Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu babuyisela impendulo enkosini besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Yebo, kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Emathenteni akho, Israyeli! Khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli waya emathenteni akhe.

17 Hianagi mago'a Israeli vahe'ma Juda kumatamimpima nemaniza vahete Rehoboamu'a kegava huzmante'ne.

Mayelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.

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.

Khona inkosi uRehobhowamu yathuma uAdoniramu owayephezu kwezibhalwa; uIsrayeli wonke wasemkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa. Ngakho inkosi uRehobhowamu yakhwela masinyane inqola yayo, ukubalekela eJerusalema.

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.

Ngokunjalo uIsrayeli wayihlamukela indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.

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.

Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli wonke esezwile ukuthi uJerobhowamu ubuyile, bathuma bambizela enhlanganweni, bamenza inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; kakubanga khona olandela indlu kaDavida ngaphandle kwesizwe sakoJuda sodwa.

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.

Kwathi uRehobhowamu esefikile eJerusalema wabuthanisa yonke indlu yakoJuda lesizwe sakoBhenjamini, abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, abalwa impi, ukulwa lendlu yakoIsrayeli, ukubuyisela umbuso kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni.

22 Hianagi Anumzamo'a amanage huno kasnampa ne' Semaiana asami'ne,

Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:

23 Juda kini ne' Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamune, maka Juda naga'ene, Benzameni naga'ene mago'a vahetaminena amanage hunka zamasamio,

Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuyo yonke indlu yakoJuda leyakoBhenjamini, lensali yabantu, uthi:

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.

Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lingenyuki njalo lingalwi labafowenu, abantwana bakoIsrayeli. Buyelani, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe; ngoba linto ivela kimi. Basebelilalela ilizwi leNkosi, babuyela ukuhamba, njengokwelizwi leNkosi.

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.

UJerobhowamu wasesakha iShekema entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wahlala kuyo; wasephuma lapho wakha iPenuweli.

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.

UJerobhowamu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Khathesi umbuso uzabuyela endlini kaDavida.

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.

Uba lesisizwe sisenyukela ukwenza imihlatshelo endlini yeNkosi eJerusalema, khona inhliziyo yalesisizwe izabuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda, njalo bazangibulala babuyele kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda.

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,

Ngakho inkosi yathatha icebo, yenza amathole amabili egolide, yathi kubo: Kunzima kakhulu kini ukwenyukela eJerusalema; khangela, onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula elizweni leGibhithe.

29 ana golire bulimakao afu anentatrema tro'ma hu'neana magora Beteli kumate nenteno, magora Dani kumate ante'ne.

Wasemisa elinye eBhetheli, lelinye walifaka eDani.

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.

Loludaba lwaselusiba yisono; ngoba abantu baya phambi kwelinye kuze kube seDani ukuyakhonza.

31 Hagi Jeroboamu'a agonaramimpina havi anumzamofo mono hunte nontmina kinenteno, Livae nagapintira zamazeri oranotino, ru nagapinti pristi vahe'tmina zamazeri oti'ne.

Wasesenza indlu yezindawo eziphakemeyo, wenza abapristi ngabaphansi kakhulu babantu, ababengeyisiwo bamadodana amaLevi.

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.

UJerobhowamu wasesenza umkhosi ngenyanga yesificaminwembili ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga njengomkhosi owawukoJuda, wanikela phezu kwelathi. Wenza njalo eBhetheli, ehlabela amathole ayewenzile. Wabeka eBhetheli abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo ayezenzile.

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.

Wasenikela phezu kwelathi ayelenzile eBhetheli ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesificaminwembili, enyangeni ayeyiqambile evela enhliziyweni yakhe. Wenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli umkhosi, wanikela phezu kwelathi etshisa impepha.
