1 Ary Rehoboama nankany Sekema, fa tany no efa nalehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy.
Then Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Sheche came all Israel 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 when Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat heard it, (which was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Salomon the King) he 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: so came Ieroboam and all Israel, and communed with 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 grieuous: nowe therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, that he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
5 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Rehefa afaka hateloana, dia mankanesa atỳ amiko indray. Dia lasa ny olona.
And he sayde to them, Depart yet three dayes, then come againe vnto me. 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 tooke counsel with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while hee yet liued, saying, What counsell giue ye that I may answere 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 vnto him, saying, If thou be kinde to this people, and please them, and speake louing words to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
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 hee left the counsel of the ancient men that they had giuen him, and tooke counsell of the yong men that were brought vp with him, and waited on him.
9 Ahoana kosa no mba hevitra omenareo havalintsika ny vahoaka izay niteny tamiko hoe: Hamaivano ny zioga izay nataon-drainao taminay?
And he sayd vnto them, What counsel giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to mee, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put vpon vs, 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 yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answere the people that spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter for vs: thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loines.
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.
Now whereas my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet increase your yoke: my father hath chastised you with roddes, but I will correct you with scourges.
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.
Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the King had appointed saying, Come againe to me 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 sharply: and King Rehoboam left the counsel of the ancient 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 ye counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, but I wil incease it: my father chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
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 vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of God that the Lord might performe his saying, which hee had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne 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.
So when all Isarael sawe that the King would not heare them, the people answered the King, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? for we haue none inheritance in the sonue of Ishai. O Israel, euery man to your tents: now see to thine owne house, Dauid. So all Israel departed to their tents.
17 Fa ny Zanak’ isiraely izay nonina tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda ihany no nanjakan-dRehoboama.
Howbeit Rehoboam reigned ouer the children of Israel, that dwelt in the cities of Iudah.
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 that was ouer the tribute, and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
19 Ka dia niodina tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida ny Isiraely mandraka androany.
And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
