2 Tantara 10
1 Ary Rehoboama nankany Sekema, fa tany no efa nalehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Koa raha nandre izany Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay efa nandositra nankany Egypta niala teo anatrehan’ i Solomona mpanjaka, dia niverina avy tany Egypta izy.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Ary naniraka naka azy ny olona. Dia tonga Jeroboama sy ny Isiraely rehetra ka niteny tamin-dRehoboama hoe:
And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spake to Rehoboam, saying,
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.
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
5 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Rehefa afaka hateloana, dia mankanesa atỳ amiko indray. Dia lasa ny olona.
And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6 Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka naka saina tamin’ ny zoki-olona izay nitoetra teo anatrehan’ i Solomona rainy fony fahavelony ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hevitra omenareo havaly ny vahoaka?
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 Dia hoy ireo taminy: Raha ho mora amin’ ny vahoaka ianao ka hankasitraka azy sy hanao teny mora aminy, dia ho mpanomponao mandrakizay izy.
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
8 Nefa nolavin-dRehoboama ny saina nomen’ ireo zoki-olona azy, dia naka hevitra tamin’ ny tovolahy izay indray nihira taminy sady efa nitoetra teo anatrehany izy ka nanao taminy hoe:
But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
9 Ahoana kosa no mba hevitra omenareo havalintsika ny vahoaka izay niteny tamiko hoe: Hamaivano ny zioga izay nataon-drainao taminay?
And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?
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 that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger is 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 now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I 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 dia nankany amin-dRehoboama tamin’ ny andro fahatelo, araka ilay nolazain’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Mankanesa atỳ amiko indray amin’ ny andro fahatelo.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.
13 Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka nanao teny mafy tamin’ ny olona, fa nandà ny hevitra nomen’ ireo zoki-olona azy
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 ka niteny taminy araka ny hevitra nomen’ ireo tovolahy hoe: Nampitondra zioga mavesatra anareo ny raiko, fa izaho kosa mainka hanampy izany; kotopia no namaizan’ ny raiko anareo, fa maingoka fikapohana kosa hamaizako anareo.
and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
15 Ka dia tsy nihaino ny olona ny mpanjaka, fa avy tamin’ Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany hahatanteraka ny teniny izay nampilazainy an’ i Ahia Silonita tamin’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata.
So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that Jehovah might establish his word, which he spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
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 rehetra.
And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel departed unto their tents.
17 Fa ny Zanak’ isiraely izay nonina tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda ihany no nanjakan-dRehoboama.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Ary dia naniraka an’ i Adorama, komandin’ ny mpanao fanompoana, Rehoboama mpanjaka, nefa ny Zanak’ isiraely nitora-bato azy, ka maty izy. Dia niezaka faingana nankeo amin’ ny kalesiny Rehoboama mpanjaka handositra ho any Jerosalema.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, 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 unto this day.
