1 Mpanjaka 12
1 Aa le nomb’e Sekeme añe t’i Rekhavame, ie fa niheo mb’e Sekeme mb’eo t’Israele iaby hañory aze ho mpanjaka.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for al Israel were come to Sheche, to make him king
2 Ie amy zao, naho jinanji’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate e Mitsraime añe—ie fa nitriban-day boak’ añatrefa’ i Selomò mpanjaka vaho nimoneñe e Mitsraime añe
And whe Ieroboam ye sonne of Nebat heard of it (who was yet in Egypt, whither Ieroboam had fled from king Salomon, and dwelt in Egypt)
3 le nañitrike naho nikoik’ aze iereo naho niheo mb’ amy Rekhavame mb’eo t’Iarovame rekets’ i valobohò’ Israeley, nanao ty hoe:
Then they sent and called him: and Ieroboam and all the Congregation of Israel came, and spake vnto Rehoboam, saying,
4 Nanoan-drae’o jokan-tsarererake; aa le hamaivaño ty fitoloñan-tsarererahan-drae’o, naho i joka mavesatse nampitarazoe’e anaiy, le hitoroñ’ azo zahay.
Thy father made our yoke grieuous: now therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke which he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
5 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Misitaha telo andro heike, le mibaliha amako. Le nienga ondatio.
And he said vnto them, Depart yet for three dayes, then come againe to me. And the people departed.
6 Nisafiry amo androanavy nijohañe añatrefa’ i Selomò rae’e, ie mbe niveloñe, t’i Rekhavame, ami’ty hoe: Ino ty fanoroañe hatolo’ areo amako hamaleako ondatio?
And King Rehoboam tooke counsell with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while he yet liued, and sayde, What counsell giue ye, that I may make an answere to this people?
7 Le hoe ty nisaontsia’ iareo: Naho toe ho mpitoro’ ondatio irehe te anito hitoroña’o naho hihaoña’o vaho hisaontsia’o mora, le ho mpitoro’o nainai’e iereo.
And they spake vnto him, saying, If thou be a seruant vnto this people this day, and serue them, and answere them, and speake kinde wordes to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
8 Fe nifarie’e ty safiry natolo’ o androanavio aze, vaho nandrambe ty fanoroa’ o ajalahy nindre nibey ama’e naho nijohañe añatrefa’eo.
But he forsooke the counsell that the olde men had giuen him, and asked counsell of the yong men that had bene brought vp with him, and waited on him.
9 Fa hoe re am’ iereo: Akore ty safiri’ areo, hamalean-tika ondaty nisaontsy amako ami’ty hoe: Hamaivaño ty joka nampitarazoen-drae’o anaio?
And he said vnto them, What counsell giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke, which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?
10 Aa le hoe ty asa’ o ajalahy nindre nibey ama’eo: Inao ty ho saontsie’o am’ondaty nisaontsy ama’o nanao ty hoe: Nanoen-drae’o mavesatse ty joka’ay, aa le hamaivaño ama’ay; Inao ty hilañona’o: Bey ta i fisafoan-draekoy ty anakikiko.
Then the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say vnto this people, that haue spoken vnto thee, and said, Thy father hath made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter vnto vs: euen thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loynes.
11 Aa ndra t’ie nampijinien-draeko joka mavesatse, mbe ho tompeako ka o joka’ areoo; ie nandafa anahareo an-karavantsy, fa an-kalengo ka ty ihamofohako.
Now where as my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet make your yoke heauier: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
12 Aa le nomb’ amy Rekhavame amy andro fahateloy t’Iarovame rekets’ ondaty iabio, ty amy saontsi’ i mpanjakaiy, vaho nanao ty hoe: Mibaliha amako ami’ty andro fahatelo.
Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me againe ye thirde day.
13 Le sinotra’ i mpanjakay ondatio, vaho napo’e i fanoroañe natolo’ o androanavioy;
And the king answered the people sharpely, and left the old mens counsell that they gaue him,
14 fa i fanoroa’ o ajalahioo ty nilañonà’e ami’ty hoe: Nanoen-draeko mavesatse ty joka’ areo, fe ho tovoñako o joka’ areoo, nandafa anahareo an-karavantsy ty raeko f’ie ho fofoheko an-kalengo.
And spake to them after the counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, and I will make your yoke more grieuous: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
15 Aa le tsy hinao’ i mpanjakay ondatio; ie toe fandahara’ Iehovà, hampijadoñe i enta’ey, i tsinara’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Akià nte Silò am’ Iarovame, ana’ i Nebatey.
And the King hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of the Lord, that he might perfourme his saying, which the Lord had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite vnto Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.
16 Aa ie nioni’ Israele iaby te tsy nihaoñe’ i mpanjakay, le hoe ty natoi’ ondatio amy mpanjakay: Ino ty anay amy Davide ao? Aman-dova amy ana’ Isaý hao zahay? Akia mb’an-kivoho’ areo ry Israele! Hajario i akiba’oy ry Davide. Aa le niavotse mb’ an-kiboho’ iareo mb’eo t’Israele.
So when all Israel sawe that the King regarded them not, the people answered the King thus, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? we haue none inheritance in the sonne of Ishai. To your tents, O Israel: nowe see to thine owne house, Dauid. So Israel departed vnto their tents.
17 Fe mbe nifehe o ana’ Israele nimoneñe amo rova’ Iehodaoo t’i Rekhavame.
Howbeit ouer the children of Israel, which dwelt in the cities of Iudah, did Rehoboam reigne still.
18 Nirahe’ i Rekhavame mpanjaka mb’eo, t’i Adorame, mpifeleke ty haba; f’ie finetsa’ Israele iaby vato le nihomake vaho nipitsike mb’ an-tsarete’e añe t’i Rekhavame nitsondemboke mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
Nowe the King Rehoboam sent Adoram the receiuer of the tribute, and all Israel stoned him to death: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
19 Aa le niola amy anjomba’ i Davidey t’Israele pake henane.
And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
20 Ie amy zao, naho jinanji’ Israele iaby te tafampoly t’Iarovame, le nampisangitrife’ iereo mb’am-pivori-bey vaho nanoe’ iereo mpanjaka’ Israele iaby; leo raike tsy nañorike ty anjomba’ i Davide naho tsy Iehodà avao.
And when all Israel had heard that Ieroboam was come againe, they sent and called him vnto the assemblie, and made him King ouer all Israel: none followed the house of Dauid, but the tribe of Iudah onely.
21 Aa ie niheo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Rekhavame, le hene natonto’e ty anjomba’ Iehoda naho ty fifokoa’ i Beniamine, lahindefoñe soa-joboñe rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale, hialy amy anjomba’ Israeley, hampolia’e amy Rekhavame ana’ i Selomò i fifeheañey.
And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered all the house of Iudah with the tribe of Beniamin an hundreth and foure score thousand of chosen men (which were good warriours) to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon.
22 Fe niheo amy Semaià, ondatin’ Añahare, ty tsaran’ Añahare nanao ty hoe:
But the worde of God came vnto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 Saontsio t’i Rekhavame, ana’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Iehoday naho i anjomba’ Iehoda naho Beniamine iabiy vaho o ila’ ondatio, ty hoe;
Speake vnto Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and vnto all the house of Iudah and Beniamin, and the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Tsy hionjoñe mb’eo nahareo, tsy hialy amo ana’ Israele roahalahi’ areoo; songa mimpolia mb’an-kiboho’e añe, fa amako o raha zao. Aa le hinao’ iereo ty tsara’ Iehovà, vaho nimpoly, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go vp, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done by me. They obeyed therefore the worde of the Lord and returned, and departed, according to the worde of the Lord.
25 Namboare’ Iarovame am-bohibohi’ i Efraime ao t’i Sekeme, le nimoneñe ao; vaho niavotse ama’e namboatse i Penoele.
Then Ieroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein, and went from thence, and built Penuel.
26 Le hoe ty fitsakorean-tro’ Iarovame, Himpoly amy anjomba’ i Davidey henane zao i fifeheañey,
And Ieroboam thought in his heart, Nowe shall the kingdome returne to the house of Dauid.
27 naho hionjomb’ amy anjomba’ Iehovà e Ierosalaimey ondatio hanao soroñe; le hitolik’ amy talè’ iareoy, homb’amy Rekhavame mpanjaka’ Iehoda ty arofo’ ondatio vaho havetra’ iareo iraho, ie himpoly mb’ an-dRekhavame mpanjaka’ Iehoda ao.
If this people goe vp and doe sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, then shall the heart of this people turne againe vnto their lorde, euen to Rehoboam King of Iudah: so shall they kill me and goe againe to Rehoboam King of Iudah.
28 Aa le nisafiry i mpanjakay, naho nandranjy bania volamena roe, vaho nanao ty hoe am’ondatio, Loho sarotse ty fionjona’ areo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo: ingo o ‘ndrahare’oo ry Israele, o ninday azo boak’ an-tane Mitsraimeo.
Whereupon the King tooke counsell, and made two calues of golde, and saide vnto them, It is too much for you to goe vp to Ierusalem: beholde, O Israel, thy gods, which brought thee vp out of the lande of Egypt.
29 Napo’e e Betele ao ty raike le napo’e e Dane ao ty raike.
And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other set he in Dan.
30 F’ie toe hakeo; amy te nionjoñe hitalaho ami’ty raik’ ama’e ondaty pake Daneo.
And this thing turned to sinne: for the people went (because of the one) euen to Dan.
31 Namboara’e kijà ka o haboañeo, vaho boak’ am’ ondaty tsotra iabio ty nanoe’e mpisoroñe fa tsy amo ana’ i Levio.
Also he made an house of hie places, and made Priestes of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui.
32 Noriza’ Iarovame ty sabadidak’ ami’ty volam-paha-valo, ami’ty androm-paha-folo-lime ambi’ i volañey, hambañe amy sabadidake e Iehoday, ie nañenga amy kitreliy; izay ty e Betele ao, ie nanoa’e soroñe i bania namboare’e rey; vaho najado’e e Betele ao o mpisoro’ o toets’ abo namboare’eoo.
And Ieroboam made a feast the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, like vnto the feast that is in Iudah, and offred on the altar. So did he in Beth-el and offered vnto the calues that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the Priestes of the hie places, which he had made.
33 Aa le niañambone mb’amy kitrely niranjie’e e Betele ao amy faha-folo-lime ambi’ i volam-paha-valoiy, i volañe nitsakorè’e an-tro’ey avao; le nañoriza’e sabadidake o ana’ Israeleo, vaho niañambone mb’amy kitrely fañemboha’ey.
And he offered vpon the altar, which he had made in Beth-el, the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, (euen in the moneth which he had forged of his owne heart) and made a solemne feast vnto the children of Israel: and he went vp to the altar, to burne incense.
