2 Tantara 10
1 Ary Rehoboama nankany Sekema, fa tany no efa nalehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy.
Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had 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.
When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Ary naniraka naka azy ny olona. Dia tonga Jeroboama sy ny Isiraely rehetra ka niteny tamin-dRehoboama hoe:
They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke 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.
“Your father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore make the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
5 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Rehefa afaka hateloana, dia mankanesa atỳ amiko indray. Dia lasa ny olona.
He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” So 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?
King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me about how to answer these 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.
They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to these people, please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
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 abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
9 Ahoana kosa no mba hevitra omenareo havalintsika ny vahoaka izay niteny tamiko hoe: Hamaivano ny zioga izay nataon-drainao taminay?
He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may give an answer to these people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on 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;
The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
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 burdened 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 asked, 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
The king answered them roughly; and King Rehoboam abandoned 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 spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. 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 didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about by God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke 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.
When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to 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 who lived 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 forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself 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 David’s house to this day.
