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 all Israel were come to Shechem 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 it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam 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:

and they sent and called him — that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke unto 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 grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'

5 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Misitaha telo andro heike, le mibaliha amako. Le nienga ondatio.

And he said unto them: 'Depart yet for three days, then come again 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 took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer 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 spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'

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 forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before 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 unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us 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.

And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

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.

And now whereas my father did burden 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 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.

So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'

13 Le sinotra’ i mpanjakay ondatio, vaho napo’e i fanoroañe natolo’ o androana­vioy;

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given 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 spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'

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.

So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son 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.

And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So Israel departed unto their tents.

17 Fe mbe nifehe o ana’ Israele nimo­neñe amo rova’ Iehodaoo t’i Rekhavame.

But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

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.

Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; and all Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

19 Aa le niola amy anjomba’ i Davidey t’Israele pake henane.

So Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto 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 it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

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 Jerusalem, be assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

22 Fe niheo amy Semaià, ondatin’ Añahare, ty tsaran’ Añahare nanao ty hoe:

But the word of God came unto 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;

'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest 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 up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel; return every man to his house; for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way, according to the word 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 Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.

26 Le hoe ty fitsakorean-tro’ Iarovame, Himpoly amy anjomba’ i Davidey henane zao i fifeheañey,

And Jeroboam said in his heart: 'Now will the kingdom return to the house of David.

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 go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn back unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.'

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 took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them: 'Ye have gone up long enough to Jerusalem; behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land 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 put he in Dan.

30 F’ie toe hakeo; amy te nionjoñe hitalaho ami’ty raik’ ama’e ondaty pake Daneo.

And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

31 Namboara’e kijà ka o haboañeo, vaho boak’ am’ ondaty tsotra iabio ty nanoe’e mpisoroñe fa tsy amo ana’ i Levio.

And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.

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 Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, to sacrifice unto the calves that he had made; and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that 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 went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to offer.
