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 came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, 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 came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 El sruokya siti ma kuhlusyukyak lun acn Judah, ac som na nwe Jerusalem.
And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto 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.’”
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also 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.”
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD 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 the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them: but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out 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.”
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
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.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which 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 made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house.
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 was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
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 when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things [found].
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.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Rehoboam el oru ma koluk, mweyen el tia srike in suk ma lungse lun LEUM GOD.
And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart 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.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
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 was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
