1 Hagi Rehoboamu'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma ne-eno'a, Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteno ana maka Israeli mopama erino kinima mani'nakura, ha'ma hu antahi'zama eri'naza vahera 180tauseni'a vahetami Juda nagapinte'ene Benzameni nagapintira ke hutru huno, Israeli vahera agrarega zamavarenteno kegava huzmantenaku hu'ne.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against [the northern tribes of] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could rule [all the tribes of] the kingdom again.
2 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Semaiana anage huno asami'ne,
But Yahweh spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
3 Kagra vunka, Juda kini ne' Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamune, maka Israeli vahetamima Judama nemaniza vahetamine, Benzameni naga'enena,
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the Israeli people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:
4 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ome zamasamio, tamagra marerita tamafuhe'zanena hara ome osugahazanki, makamota nontamirega vuta eta hiho. Na'ankure Nagra e'ina zana fore hugahie hu'na hu'noazamo fore nehie. Anage hige'za Ra Anumzamofonke antahi'za Jeroboamuna hara ome huonte atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against [the people of Israel; they are] your distant relatives. 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 heeded what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they did not attack Jeroboam [and his soldiers].
5 Hagi Rehoboamu'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'neno ha'ma hanigeno fraki rankumatamima Juda mopafi me'neana ete eri hanavetino kintetere hu'ne.
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and his workers built walls around several of the cities and towns in Judah to protect them [against enemy attacks].
6 Hagi ana rankumatamina Betlehemu kumaki, Etam kumaki, Tekoa kumaki,
In [the area that belonged to] the tribes of Judah and Benjamin they built walls around Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 Bet-zuri kumaki, Soko kumaki, Adulamu kumaki,
Beth-Zur, Soco, Adullam,
8 Gati kumaki, Maresa kumaki, Zifi kumaki,
Gath, Mareshah,
9 Adoraimi kumaki, Lakisi kumaki, Azeka kumaki,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 Zora kumaki, Aijaloni kumaki Hebroni kuma'enene. Hagi ama ana mika rankumatamina Judane, Benzameni mopafi me'ne.
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron.
11 Hagi hankavenentake vihuma hunte kumatamimpina sondia vahete kva vahetami zamavarenenteno, ne'zane olivi masaventamine, waini tinena anampina ante'ne.
He also appointed an army commander in each of those cities and towns, and gave them supplies of food, olive oil, and wine [to keep in storage].
12 Hagi anazanke huno ana ranra kumatamimpina hankoramine, karugru keveramine, refko huno antetere nehuno, ana kuma keginaramina eri hanavetino tro hu'ne. E'ina huno Juda naga'ene Benzameni naga'enena kegava hu'ne.
He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them well-protected. So he continued to rule the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
13 Hagi Israeli mopafima maka noti kazigama me'nea kumatamimpi nemani'za maka pristi vahe'mo'zane, Livae vahe'mo'za Rehoboamu kazigage ante'naze.
The priests and other descendants of Levi throughout Israel supported Rehoboam.
14 Hagi Livae vahe'mo'zane kumazamine, sipisipi afu'ene bulimakao afu'enema kegavama nehaza kuma'enena atre'za, Juda kumate'ene Jerusalemi kumate e'naze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu'ene ne' mofavre'amoza Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera omanigahaze hu'za huzmante'nazagu arara hu'naze.
The descendants of Levi [who lived outside the territory of Judah and Benjamin] abandoned their property and their pastureland, and they came to Jerusalem and [to other places in] Judah, because Jeroboam and his sons would not allow them to do the work of priests of Yahweh.
15 Hagi agra'a pristi vahetami zamazeri otige'za mono'ma nehaza agona kumatamimpina meme afu'mofone bulimakao anentamofo amema'a tro hunte'nege'za monora hunte'naze.
Instead, Jeroboam appointed the priests that he wanted to work [at the altars he commanded to be built] on the hilltops, [to offer sacrifices to] the idols that he commanded to be made [that resembled] goats and calves.
16 Hagi maka Israeli vahe'mo'za naga nofipinti'ma Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona hanaveti'za mono'ma huntenaku'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zane, pristi vahetamine Livae nagara zamavariri'za Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzante kresramna vunaku Jerusalemi vu'naze.
And people from every tribe in Israel who wanted to worship Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belonged, went with the descendants of Levi to Jerusalem to live there and to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
17 Hagi 3'a kafufina Juda vahe'ene umani'neza Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamuna aza hu'za Juda kumara eri hanaveti'naze. Na'ankure ana 3'a kafufina zamagra Deviti'ene, Solomonikema kinima manineke knare zanavu'zanava hu'na'a zanavu'zanava avariri'za, Rehoboamuna aza hu'naze.
They caused the kingdom of Judah to be strong, and for three years they were happy that Solomon’s son Rehoboam was the king. During that time they conducted their lives [righteously] as David and Solomon had done previously.
18 Hagi Rehoboamu'a, Deviti nemofo Jerimoti mofa Mahalati ara eri'ne. Hagi Mahalati nerera agi'a Abihailikino agra Jesi nemofo Eliapu mofa mani'ne.
Rehoboam married Mahalath. She was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth, and her mother was Abihail, the daughter of Eliab and granddaughter of Jesse.
19 Hagi Mahalati'a Rehoboamunte mani'neno, Jeusima, Semariama Zahamuma huno kasezmante'ne.
Rehoboam and Mahalath had three sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
20 Henka ara Jehoboamu'a Absalomu mofa Ma'aka ara eri'ne. Hagi Rehoboamunteti'ma Ma'akama kasezmante'nea mofavreramina Abijama, Ataima, Zizama, Selomitima huno kasezmante'ne.
Later Rehoboam married Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, and they had four sons: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Hagi Rehoboamu'a maka ane'aramimpinti'ene henka a'nema erinefintira zamagatereno Absalomu mofa Ma'akana rama'azampi avesinte'ne. Hagi ana maka 18ni'a ese a'negi henka a'nea 60'a zamante'ne. Hagi ana a'nemo'za ne' mofavreramina 28'a kasezmante'za 60'a mofane kasezamante'naze.
Rehoboam loved Maacah more than he loved any other of his wives and slave wives. Altogether he had 18 wives and 60 slave wives, and 28 sons and 60 daughters.
22 E'ina hu'negu Rehoboamu'a Ma'aka nemofo Abija kva azeri otigeno, zamafuhe'ina kegava huzmante'ne. E'ina hu'neno henka kini azeri otisigu anara hu'ne.
Rehoboam appointed his son Abijah to be the leader of his [older and younger] brothers, because he wanted to appoint Abijah to be the next king.
23 Rehoboamu'a knare antahintahi erino mago'a ne' mofavre naga'a eri'zana refko huno nezamino, mago'a ne'mofavre naga'a huzmantege'za Juda naga mopafine, Benzameni naga mopafi'ma me'nea ranra kumatamima eri hankavematia kumatamina kegava hutere hu'naze. Ana nehuno rama'a feno nezmino, rama'a a'ne hagezami'ne.
He very wisely sent some of his other sons to other cities in the areas of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the other cities that had walls around them. He gave them plenty of supplies and many wives.
