1 Awo Lekobowaamu bwe yanywera ku bwakabaka, n’aba mugumu, ye ne Isirayiri yonna ne bava ku mateeka ga Mukama.
Rehoboam timiiɛ na ɔyɛɛ den no, ɔgyaa Awurade mmara, na Israel nyinaa dii nʼakyi wɔ saa bɔne yi mu.
2 Mu mwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Lekobowaamu, Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi kubanga tebaali beesigwa eri Mukama.
Esiane sɛ na wɔnni Awurade nokorɛ no enti, afe a ɛtɔ so enum wɔ ɔhene Rehoboam adedie mu no, Misraimhene Sisak kɔto hyɛɛ Yerusalem so.
3 N’ajja n’amagaali lukumi mu bibiri, n’abeebagala embalaasi emitwalo mukaaga, ate n’abaserikale ab’ebigere bangi nnyo: Abalubimu, n’Abasukkiyimu, n’Abaesiyopiya okuva e Misiri.
Ɔde nteaseɛnam apem ahanu, apɔnkɔsotefoɔ ɔpeduosia ne anammɔntwa asraafoɔ a wɔntumi nkan wɔn dodoɔ a Libiafoɔ, Sukifoɔ ne Etiopiafoɔ ka ho na ɛbaeɛ.
4 N’awamba ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda n’atuuka n’e Yerusaalemi.
Sisak dii Yudafoɔ nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no so nkonim, na ɔtu tenee sɛ ɔrekɔto ahyɛ Yerusalem nso so.
5 Awo Semaaya nnabbi n’agenda eri Lekobowaamu n’eri abakulembeze ba Yuda abaali bakuŋŋaanidde mu Yerusaalemi olw’okutya Sisaki, n’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mwanvaako, nange kyenvudde mbawaayo mu mukono gwa Sisaki.’”
Odiyifoɔ Semaia hyiaa Rehoboam ne Yuda mpanimfoɔ a Sisak enti, wɔadwane aba Yerusalem. Semaia ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie! Moagya me enti, me nso meregya mo ama Sisak.”
6 Awo abakulembeze ba Isirayiri, nga bali wamu ne kabaka ne beetoowaza ne boogera nti, “Mukama asala bulungi emisango.”
Ɔhene no ne Israel mpanimfoɔ brɛɛ wɔn ho ase, kaa sɛ, “Awurade di bem sɛ ɔyɛɛ yɛn saa!”
7 Awo Mukama bwe yalaba okwetoowaza kwabwe, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Semaaya nti, “Beetoowazizza noolwekyo siribazikiriza. Ndibalokola, era n’obusungu bwange tebulifukibwa ku Yerusaalemi nga buyita mu mukono gwa Sisaki.
Awurade hunuu sɛ wɔanu wɔn ho no, ɔde saa nkra yi somaa Semaia: “Esiane sɛ nnipa no abrɛ wɔn ho ase enti, merensɛe wɔn korakora na ɛrenkyɛre, mɛma wɔn ahomegyeɛ. Meremfa Sisak so nna mʼabufuo adi wɔ Yerusalem so.
8 Wabula baliba baddu be, balyoke bategeere enjawulo eriwo wakati w’okumpeereza n’okuweereza bakabaka baamawanga amalala.”
Nanso, wɔbɛyɛ nʼasomfoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsom me sene sɛ wɔbɛsom ewiase ahemfo.”
9 Awo Sisaki kabaka w’e Misiri n’alumba Yerusaalemi n’atwala obugagga obw’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’obugagga obw’omu lubiri lwa kabaka, n’atwala buli kintu kyonna, era n’atwala n’engabo eza zaabu Sulemaani ze yali akoze.
Enti, Misraimhene Sisak baa Yerusalem bɛsesaa agyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu ne ahemfie hɔ nneɛma a Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ akokyɛm no nyinaa ka ho.
10 Awo kabaka Lekobowaamu n’akola engabo ez’ekikomo okudda mu kifo kyaziri eza zaabu, n’azikwasa abaduumizi b’abambowa abaakuumanga wankaaki ow’olubiri lwa kabaka.
Akyire no, ɔhene Rehoboam de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ akokyɛm sii anan, na ɔde hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔwɛn no no panin nsa sɛ ɔnhwɛ so.
11 Buli kabaka bwe yalaganga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, abakuumi baazeetikkanga nga bamuwerekera, n’oluvannyuma ne bazizaayo mu kisenge ky’abakuumi.
Ɛberɛ biara a ɔhene no bɛkɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu no, awɛmfoɔ no soa kɔ hɔ, na wɔasane de akɔgu adekoradan a wɔwɛn no mu.
12 Lekobowaamu bwe yeetoowaza, Mukama n’alekeraawo okumusunguwalira n’atasaanyizibwawo ddala, ne mu Yuda ne mubaamu emirembe.
Esiane sɛ Rehoboam brɛɛ ne ho ase enti, Awurade abufuo no firii ne so, enti wansɛe no korakora. Ɛmaa yiedie kɔɔ so wɔ Yuda asase so.
13 Kabaka Lekobowaamu ne yeenyweza mu Yerusaalemi, n’afuga nga ye kabaka. Yalina emyaka amakumi ana mu gumu we yafuukira kabaka, era n’afugira emyaka kkumi na musanvu mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga Mukama kye yalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri n’ateekamu Erinnya lye. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Naama Omwamoni.
Ɔhene Rehoboam timiiɛ wɔ Yerusalem, na ɔtoaa so dii ɔhene. Ɛberɛ a ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduanan baako. Na ɔdii adeɛ mfirinhyia dunson wɔ Yerusalem, kuropɔn a Awurade ayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa mu sɛ ɛhɔ na wɔbɛhyɛ ne din animuonyam. Na Rehoboam maame din de Naama a ɔfiri Amon.
14 Lekobowaamu n’akola ebibi, n’atamalirira kunoonya Mukama mu mutima gwe.
Na ɔyɛ ɔhene bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, wamfa nʼakoma nyinaa anhwehwɛ Awurade akyiri ɛkwan.
15 Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Lekobowaamu okuva ku ntandikwa ye okutuusa ku nkomerero ye, tebyawandiikibwa mu byafaayo bya Semaaya nnabbi n’ebya Iddo omulabi? Ne wabangawo entalo wakati wa Lekobowaamu ne Yerobowaamu.
Wɔatwerɛ Rehoboam ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ no a ɛfiri ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no wɔ odiyifoɔ Semaia nwoma ne nhunumuni Ido nwoma a ɛyɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nwoma no fa bi mu. Ɛberɛ biara, na akokoakoko wɔ Rehoboam ne Yeroboam ntam.
16 Awo Lekobowaamu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Abiya mutabani we n’amusikira.
Ɛberɛ a Rehoboam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Abia dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
