1 Rehoboamu'ma kinima manino maka zama kegavama huno hanave kinima efore'ma nehige'za, agrane maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo kasegea zamagena humiza ovariri'naze.

Ngemva kokuba uRehobhowami eselamandla, lombuso wakhe usuqinile, yena kanye labo bonke abako-Israyeli bawudela umlayo kaThixo.

2 Hagi 5fu'a kafuma, Rehoboamu'ma kinima nemanigeno'a, Isipi kini ne' Sisaki'a eno Jerusalemi kumapi vahera hara eme huzmante'ne. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofona tamage hu'za ovariri'nazagu anara hu'ne.

Kodwa ngoba bona kuThixo, uShishakhi inkosi yaseGibhithe wahlasela iJerusalema ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokubusa kwenkosi uRehobhowami.

3 Sisaki'a 1tausen 200'a karisiraminki, hosi agumpima mani'ne'za ha'ma hu vahetmina 60 tauseni'agi, Isipiti'ma, Libiati'ma, Sukimuti'ma Itiopiati'ma hu'za tusi vahekrerfa mopafima vanoma nehu'za ha'ma nehaza vahera hampriga osuga'a zamavareno e'ne.

Wahlasela ngezinqola zokulwa ezingamakhulu alitshumi lambili labagadi bamabhiza abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, labantu abangelakubalwa ubunengi babo abanye bengabeLibhiya, lamaSukhi labaKhushi abeza laye bevelela ngaseGibhithe,

4 Anama huteno Juda mopafi me'nea hankave rankumatamina zamaheno hanare vagareno eno Jerusalemi kumate ehanati'ne.

wathumba imizi yakoJuda ebiyelweyo waze wayafika leJerusalema.

5 Hagi Sisaki'ma ha'ma eme huzmantea zanku hu'za Rehoboamu'ene ne'mofavre'amo'za koro hu'za Jerusalemi mani'nazageno, kasnampa ne' Semaia'a eno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, tamagra Nagrira tamefi hunamizagu, Nagranena namefi hunerami'na Sisaki azampi tamavrente'noe.

Ngakho uShemaya umphrofethi waya kuRehobhowami kanye lakubakhokheli bakoJuda ababebuthene eJerusalema ngokwesaba uShishakhi, wafika wathi kubo, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uthi, ‘Lingilahlile lina; ngakho sengilinikela kuShishaki.’”

6 Anagema hige'za Israeli vahe'mokizmi kva vahe'mo'zane kini ne'mo'enena zamagu'a eri ante'nerami'za anage hu'naze, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avaza huranteno amanahu zana hurante.

Abakhokheli bako-Israyeli lenkosi yabo bazithoba batsho bathi, “uThixo ulungile.”

7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma keama zamagu'ama anteramizageno'a, amanage huno Semaina asami'ne, Zamagu'a anteramizanki'na zamahe fanane osugosuanki, ame hu'na zamaguvazigahue. Narimpa ahe'na Sisakina huntenugeno Jerusalemi vahera hara huozmantegahie.

Kwathi uThixo esebonile ukuzithoba kwabo ilizwi lakhe lafika kuShemaya lisithi: “Njengoba bezithobile, kangisayikubabhubhisa, kodwa ngizabakhulula emva kwesikhatshana, lolaka lwami kalusayikwehliselwa eJerusalema ngesandla sikaShishakhi.

8 Hianagi Nagra zamatrenuge'za Sisaki kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'ne'za, Nagrama hunezmantoa navu'navamo knarera hu'nefi, ru kini vahe'mo'zama huzmante'naza zamavu'zmavamo knarera hugahifi, zamagra'a refko hu'za kegahaze.

Kodwa bazakuba yizinceku zakhe ukuze bazi umahluko phakathi kokungikhonza lokukhonza amakhosi amanye amazwe.”

9 E'inage higeno Isipi kini ne' Sisaki'a marerino Jerusalemi vahera hara eme huzmanteno, Ra Anumzamofo feno nompinti'ene kini ne'mofo nompintira marerirfa fenozana maka eri hana huno vu'ne. Hagi Solomoni'ma golire hankoramima tro'ma hunte'neana, maka eri hana hu'za Isipi vu'naze.

UShishakhi inkosi yaseGibhithe wasehlasela iJerusalema, wabutha yonke inotho yasethempelini likaThixo kanye lenotho yasesigodlweni sesikhosini. Wathatha konke waze wathatha lezihlangu zegolide ezazenziwe nguSolomoni.

10 Hagi Isipi vahe'mo'zama eri'za vu'naza hankoramintera, ete Rehoboamu'a bronsire hanko tro huno, kini ne'mofo kafante'ma kvama hu sondia kva vahetmina zami'ne.

Ngakho iNkosi uRehobhowami yasisenza izihlangu zethusi endaweni yalezo njalo yazibeka ngaphansi kwabalawuli babalindi bamasango asesigodlweni sesikhosini.

11 Hagi inanknarero kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo nontegama nevige'za, ana kva vahe'mo'za e'za eme kva hunte'za vute'za, ete atiramino'ma noma'aregama nevige'za ana hankoramina eri'za nompinka eme antetere hu'naze.

Kwakusithi lapho inkosi isiya ethempelini likaThixo, abalindi babehamba layo bephethe izihlangu, kuze kuthi emva kwesikhathi bazibuyisele endlini yabalindi.

12 Na'ankure Rehoboamu'a agu'a anteramino mani'negu, Ra Anumzamo'a rimpama neheazana atreno maka zama'a eri havizana huvaga ore'ne. Ana'ma higeno'a Juda mopafina knare'za fore hu'ne.

Ngenxa yokuthi uRehobhowami wazithoba, ulaka lukaThixo lwadeda kuye, kasazange abe esabhujiswa. Ngempela kwakukhona okuhle koJuda.

13 Hagi Rehoboamu'a Jerusalemi kumate kinia mani'me vuno hankave kini omese'ne. Hagi Rehoboamu'a 41'a kafu nehuno kinia mani'neankino, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli mopafima me'nea kumatamimpinti Jerusalemi kuma huhamprino nagima ahentesgama hanaze huno'ma hu'nea kumapina 17ni'a kafufi kinia mani'ne. Hagi Rehoboamu nerera agi'a Na'amakino Amoni kumateti a'mo kasente'ne.

Inkosi uRehobhowami yaqinisa umbuso wayo eJerusalema njalo yaqhubeka ibusa. Ekugcotshweni kwakhe ubukhosi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye, wabusa okweminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema umuzi kaThixo ayewukhethile phakathi kwezizwana zako-Israyeli ukuze abeke iBizo lakhe. Ibizo likanina linguNahama, engowako-Amoni.

14 Hianagi Rehoboamu'a kefo avu'ava hu'ne. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzamofontera maka agu'aretira huno amagera onte'negu anara hu'ne.

Wenza okubi wona ngoba engazange abeke inhliziyo yakhe ekumdingeni uThixo.

15 Hagi Rehoboamu'ma hu'nea zantmimofo agenkea eseteti'ma agafa huno atumpare'ma uhanati'neana, kasnampa netremokizni Semaiane Idokizni znagenkema krente'nea avontafepi krente'naze. Hagi Rehoboamu'ene Jeroboamu'enena hara huvava huke vu'na'e.

Okumayelana lokubusa kukaRehobhowami, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, akulotshwanga na emibhalweni kaShemaya umphrofethi leka-Ido umboni mayelana lokuzalana kwabantu? Kwaba lempi njalo phakathi kukaRehobhowami loJerobhowamu.

16 Hagi Rehoboamu'a frige'za, Deviti rankumapi Jerusalemi asentazageno, nemofo Abija agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

URehobhowami wakhothama, wangcwatshwa labokhokho bakhe eMzini kaDavida. U-Abhija, indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi waba yinkosi ngemva kukayise.
