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 it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, and all 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.
And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—
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 and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—
4 El sruokya siti ma kuhlusyukyak lun acn Judah, ac som na nwe Jerusalem.
and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes 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.’”
And Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in 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 heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [is] righteous.”
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 YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in 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.”
but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms 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 Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes the shields of gold 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.
and King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
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 it comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
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.
And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things 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.
And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
14 Rehoboam el oru ma koluk, mweyen el tia srike in suk ma lungse lun LEUM GOD.
and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.
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.
And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;
16 Rehoboam el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David. Abijah, wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra.
and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
