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 comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, 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 comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—

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 one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—

4 Dia nahafaka ny tanàna mimanda izay any Joda izy ka tonga tany Jerosalema.

and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes 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 Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak”;

6 Dia niaiky ireo mpanapaka ny Isiraely sy ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Marina Jehovah.

and the heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [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 YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;

8 Kanefa ho mpanompony ihany izy, mba hahafantarany ny fanompoana Ahy sy ny fanompoana any amin’ ny fanjakana hafa.

but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”

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.

And Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes the shields of gold that 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 Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house 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 comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.

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 in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.

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.

And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,

14 Ary nanao ratsy izy, satria tsy nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ i Jehovah.

and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.

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 matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;

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 Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
