2 Tantara 12
1 Ary Rehoboama, rehefa nampandry ny ny fanjakany sady efa nahery, dia nahafoy ny lalan’ i Jehovah izy sy ny Isiraely rehetra.
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy nanjakan-dRehoboama mpanjaka dia niakatra Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hamely an’ i Jerosalema, fa nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah ny mponina tany,
And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,
3 ary nitondra kalesy roan-jato amby arivo sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly enina alina izy, ary tsy hita isa ny olona izay nanaraka azy avy tany Egypta, dia ny Lobita sy ny Sokita ary ny Etiopiana.
with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
4 Dia nahafaka ny tanàna mimanda izay any Joda izy ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Ary Semaia mpaminany tonga tao amin-dRehoboama sy ireo mpanapaka ny Joda, izay tafangona tany Jerosalema noho ny amin’ i Sisaka, ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianareo efa nahafoy Ahy, koa Izaho kosa dia mba nahafoy anareo ho eo an-tànan’ i Sisaka.
And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
6 Dia niaiky ireo mpanapaka ny Isiraely sy ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Marina Jehovah.
And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
7 Ary nony hitan’ i Jehovah fa niaiky izy, dia tonga tao amin’ i Semaia indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Efa niaiky izy, ka dia tsy handringana azy Aho, fa tsy ho ela dia hamonjy azy; ary tsy haidiko amin’ i Jerosalema avy amin’ ny tànan’ i Sisaka ny fahatezerako.
And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
8 Kanefa ho mpanompony ihany izy, mba hahafantarany ny fanompoana Ahy sy ny fanompoana any amin’ ny fanjakana hafa.
Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.
9 Dia niakatra Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hamely an’ i Jerosalema ka namabo ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka: samy nobaboiny avokoa izy rehetra; ary nobaboiny koa ny ampinga volamena izay nataon’ i Solomona.
So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
10 Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka nanao ampinga varahina ho solon’ ireny ka nanolotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina, izay niambina ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
11 Ary na oviana na oviana no nidiran’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia avy ny mpiambina naka ireo ka namerina azy ho ao an-tranon’ ny mpiambina indray.
And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
12 Ary raha nanetry tena izy, dia niala taminy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah ka tsy nahalany ringana azy; sady nisy fahatsaram-panahy koa tamin’ ny Joda.
And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
13 Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka dia nitombo hery tany Jerosalema, ka dia nanjaka; iraika amby efa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary fito ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, ilay tanana nofidin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hampitoerany ny anarany. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Nama Amonita.
So king Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
14 Ary nanao ratsy izy, satria tsy nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ i Jehovah.
And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.
15 Ary ny tantaran-dRehoboama, na ny voalohany na ny farany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Semaia mpaminany sy Ido mpahita ny amin’ ny firazanana va izany? Ary niady mandrakariva Rehoboama sy Jeroboama.
And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
16 Ary Rehoboama lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Abia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
