1 Mpanjaka 12

1 Ary Rehoboama nankany Sekema, fa tany no efa nalehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy.

And king Roboam goes to Sikima; for all Israel were coming to Sikima to make him king.

2 Koa raha nandre izany Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata (fa izy mbola tany Egypta, izay nalehany tamin’ izy nandositra niala teo anatrehan’ i Solomona mpanjaka;

3 ka dia naniraka naka azy ny olona), dia tonga izy sy ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka niteny tamin-dRehoboama hoe:

And the people spoke to king Roboam, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy;

4 Rainao dia nampitondra zioga mavesatra anay, fa inty kosa mby aminao ka mba hamaivano ny fanompoana mafy tamin-drainao sy ny zioga mavesatra izay nataony taminay, dia hanompo anao izahay.

but do thou now lighten somewhat of the hard service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.

5 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Mandehana aloha, ka raha afaka hateloana, dia mankanesa atỳ amiko indray. Dia lasa ny olona.

And he said to them, Depart for three days, and return to me. And they departed.

6 Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka naka hevitra tamin’ ny zoki-olona izay nitoetra teo anatrehan’ i Solomona rainy fony fahavelony ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hevitra omenareo havaly ny vahoaka?

And the king referred [the matter] to the elders, who stood before Solomon his father while he was yet living, saying, How do ye advise that I should answer this people?

7 Dia hoy ireo taminy: Raha mety ho mpanompon’ ny vahoaka ianao izao ka hanompo azy sy hanao teny mora aminy, dia ho mpanomponao mandrakizay izy.

And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt this day be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them, and wilt speak to them good words, then will they be thy servants continually.

8 Nefa nolavin-dRehoboama ny hevitra nomen’ ireo zoki-olona azy, dia naka hevitra tamin’ ny tovolahy izay indray nihira taminy sady efa nitoetra teo anatrehany izy

But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they gave him, and consulted with the young men who were brought up with him, who stood in his presence.

9 ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana kosa no mba hevitra omenareo havalintsika ny vahoaka izay efa niteny tamiko hoe: Hamaivano ny zioga izay nataon-drainao taminay

And he said to them, What counsel do ye give? And what shall I answer to this people who speak to me, saying, Lighten somewhat of the yoke which thy father has put upon us?

10 Ary ireo tovolahy indray nihira taminy nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazao amin’ ny vahoaka izay niteny taminao hoe: Rainao nampitondra zioga mavesatra anay; fa inty kosa mby aminao ka mba hamaivano aminay izany, izao no lazao aminy: Ny ankihikeliko dia lehibe noho ny valahan’ ny raiko;

And the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before his face, spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people who have spoken to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and do thou now lighten it from off us: thus shalt say to them, My little [finger shall be] thicker than my father's loins.

11 koa raha nampitondra zioga mavesatra anareo ny raiko, izaho kosa dia mainka hanampy ny zioga ho entinareo; kotopia no namaizan’ ny raiko anareo, fa maingoka fikapohana kosa no hamaizako anareo.

And whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I also will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

12 Ary Jeroboama sy ny vahoaka rehetra nankany amin-dRehoboama tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, araka ilay nolazain’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Mankanesa atỳ amiko indray amin’ ny andro fahatelo.

And all Israel came to king Roboam on the third day, as the king spoke to them, saying, Return to me on the third day.

13 Ary ny mpanjaka nanao teny mafy tamin’ ny olona, fa nandà ny saina nomen’ ireo zoki-olona azy izy

And the king answered the people harshly; and Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men which they counselled him.

14 ka niteny taminy araka ny hevitra nomen’ ireo tovolahy hoe: Ny raiko dia nampitondra zioga mavesatra anareo, fa izaho kosa mainka hanampy ny zioga ho entinareo, kotopia no namazain’ ny raiko anareo, fa maingoka fikapohana kosa no hamaizako anareo.

And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

15 Koa dia tsy nihaino ny olona ny mpanjaka; fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah izany zavatra izany hahatanteraka ny teniny izay nampilazainy an’ i Ahia Silonita tamin’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata.

And the king hearkened not to the people, because the change was from the Lord, that he might establish his word which he spoke by Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.

16 Ary nony hitan’ ny Isiraely rehetra fa tsy nihaino azy ny mpanjaka, dia namaly ny mpanjaka ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no anjaranay amin’ i Davida? Tsy manana lova amin’ ny zanak’ i Jese izahay; samia mody any an-dainy avy, ry Isiraely e; ankehitriny tandremo ny taranakao, ry Davida ô. Dia samy nody ho any an-dainy avy ny Isiraely.

And all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them: and the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae. Depart, O Israel, to thy tents: now feed thine own house, David. So Israel departed to his tents.

17 Fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely izay nonina tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda ihany no nanjakan-dRehoboama.

18 Ary dia naniraka an’ i Adorama, komandin’ ny mpanao fanompoana, Rehoboama mpanjaka, nefa ny Isiraely rehetra nitora-bato azy, ka maty izy. Dia niezaka faingana nankeo amin’ ny kalesiny Rehoboama mpanjaka handositra ho any Jerosalema.

And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to rise to flee to Jerusalem.

19 Ka dia niodina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida ny Isiraely mandraka androany.

So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.

20 Ary rehefa ren’ ny Isiraely rehetra fa efa tafaverina indray Jeroboama, dia naniraka naka azy ho ao amin’ ny fivoriana izy ka nampanjaka azy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra; dia tsy nisy nanaraka ny taranak’ i Davida afa-tsy ny firenen’ i Joda ihany.

And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned out of Egypt, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and they made him king over Israel: and none followed the house of David except the tribe of Juda and Benjamin only.

21 Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema Rehoboama, dia novoriny ny taranak’ i Joda rehetra mbamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina, dia miaramila valo alina amby iray hetsy voafantina, hiady amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely hampody ny fanjakana indray ho an-dRehoboama, zanak’ i Solomona.

And Roboam went into Jerusalem, and he assembled the congregation of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and twenty thousand young men, warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to recover the kingdom to Roboam the son of Solomon.

22 Kanjo tonga tamin’ i Semaia, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, kosa ny tenin’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe

And the word of the Lord came to Samaia the man of God, saying,

23 Mitenena amin-dRehoboama, zanak’ i Solomona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda sy Benjamina rehetra ary amin’ ny vahoaka sisa hoe:

Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

24 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mandeha hiady amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rahalahinareo; fa samia mody any an-tranony avy ianareo, fa avy amiko izao zavatra izao. Dia nihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah ny olona, ka dia samy lasa nody araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.

Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return each man to his own home; for this thing is from me; and they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and they ceased from going up, according to the word of the Lord.

25 Ary Jeroboama dia nanamboatra an’ i Sekema any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima ka nonina tao; ary raha avy tao izy, dia nanamboatra an’ i Pehoela koa.

And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and dwelt in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.

26 Ary Jeroboama nanao anakampo hoe: Izao ny fanjakana dia hody amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida ihany;

And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.

27 fa raha miakatra hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema ny vahoaka, dia hody amin’ ny tompony indray ny fony dia amin-dRehoboama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ary dia hamono ahy izy ka hiverina any amin-dRehoboama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, indray.

If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will slay me.

28 Dia nihevitra ny mpanjaka ka nanao ombilahy kely volamena roa; ary hoy izy tamin’ ny olona: “Aoka izay ny fiakaranareo any Jerosalema! Ry Isiraely ô” indreo ny andriamanitrao, izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.

And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone [hitherto] to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

29 Ary ny anankiray dia napetrany tao Betela, fa ny anankiray kosa dia tao Dana.

And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.

30 Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga fahotana; fa ny olona dia nandeha hivavaha teo anatrehan’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo hatrany Dana.

And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.

31 Ary nanao trano teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo izy sady nanendry olona hafa ho mpisorona, izay tsy isan’ ny taranak’ i Levy.

And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

32 Ary Jeroboama, nanendry andro firavoravoana tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana fahavalo, tahaka ny andro firavoravoana tamin’ ny Joda ihany, ka nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin’ ny alitara izy. Toy izany no nataony tao Betela, fa namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ireo ombilahy kely izay nataony izy; ary nampitoeriny tao Betela ireo mpisorona amin’ ny fitoerana avo izay notendreny.

And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda;

33 Ary nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin’ ny alitara izay nataony tao Betela izy tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana fahavalo, volana izay notendreny araka ny sitrapony ihany; ary nanao andro firavoravoana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy sady nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin’ ny alitara sy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra.

and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made. And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
