< Luo Chronicle 12 >
1 Tukunna Rehoboam el oakiya ku lun tokosra lal, el ac mwet lal nukewa mutawauk in ngetla liki Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD.
And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.
2 In yac aklimekosr ma Rehoboam el tokosra, kaiyuk elos ke sripen elos pilesrala LEUM GOD. Tokosra Shishak lun Egypt el utyak lain acn Jerusalem.
Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)
3 Pisen chariot ke un mwet mweun lal uh sun sie tausin luofoko, oayapa onngoul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac pisen mwet mweun lal uh tia ku in oaoala, weang pac mwet mweun lun acn Libya, Sukkiim, ac Ethiopia.
with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.
4 El sruokya siti ma kuhlusyukyak lun acn Judah, ac som na nwe Jerusalem.
And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.
5 Shemaiah mwet palu el som nu yorol Tokosra Rehoboam ac mwet kol lun acn su tukeni in acn Jerusalem ke elos kaingkunul Shishak. El fahk nu selos, “Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD nu suwos, ‘Kowos sisyula tari, na pa nga ac eiskowosyang nu inpaol Shishak.’”
Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”
6 Na tokosra ac mwet kol lal elos fahkak lah pwaye elos orekma koluk, ac elos fahk, “Ma LEUM GOD El oru inge fal.”
And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”
7 Ke LEUM GOD El liye ma inge, El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Shemaiah ac fahk, “Mweyen elos fahkak ma koluk lalos, nga ac fah tia kunauselosla nukewa. Ke Shishak el ac mweunelos, mwet pu na selos ac fah moul. Acn Jerusalem ac fah tia pulakin nufon kasrkusrak luk,
And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 ac Shishak el ac kutangulosla, na elos ac fah akilenak lah oasr ekla inmasrlon moul in kulansap nu sik ac moul in kulansap nu sin mwet kol lun faclu.”
Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”
9 Tokosra Shishak el tuku nu Jerusalem ac usla ma saok liki Tempul ac liki lohm sin tokosra. El usla ma nukewa, weang pac mwe loang gold ma Tokosra Solomon el tuh orala.
And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.
10 In aolla ma inge, Rehoboam el orala mwe loang bronze, ac sang nu sin mwet kol su topang ke mutunpot nu inkul sin tokosra.
In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.
11 Pacl nukewa tokosra el ac som nu ke Tempul, mwet topang inge ac us mwe loang uh welul, na elos ac sifil folokunla nu infukil sin mwet topang uh.
And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.
12 Ke sripen Rehoboam el sifacna akpusiselyal nu sin LEUM GOD, pwanang kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD forla lukel ac tia arulana kunausulla, ac ma nukewa sifilpa wola nu sin Judah.
Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.
13 Rehoboam el leum in acn Jerusalem, ac yokyokelik ku lun tokosra lal. El yac angngaul sie ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el tokosra in acn Jerusalem ke yac singoul itkosr. Pa inge siti se ma LEUM GOD El tuh sulela inmasrlon acn nukewa Israel tuh mwet uh in alu nu sel we. Nina kial Rehoboam pa Naamah, sie mutan in acn Ammon.
Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.
14 Rehoboam el oru ma koluk, mweyen el tia srike in suk ma lungse lun LEUM GOD.
But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.
15 Orekma lal Rehoboam ke mutawauk nwe ke safla, oayapa ma simla ke sou lal uh, oasr in [Sramsram Matu lal Shemaiah Mwet Palu, ] ac ke [Sramsram Matu lal Iddo, Mwet Liaten.] Rehoboam ac Jeroboam eltal amweuni sie sin sie pacl nukewa.
Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.
16 Rehoboam el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David. Abijah, wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.
