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.
URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayefike eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
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
Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, owayelokhu eseGibhithe, ekuzwa lokhu (ngoba wayebaleke esuka phambi kukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wahlala eGibhithe),
3 le nañitrike naho nikoik’ aze iereo naho niheo mb’ amy Rekhavame mb’eo t’Iarovame rekets’ i valobohò’ Israeley, nanao ty hoe:
bathuma bambiza. UJerobhowamu lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli basebesiza bakhuluma loRehobhowamu besithi:
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.
Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke wena yenza kube lula umsebenzi olukhuni kayihlo, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
5 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Misitaha telo andro heike, le mibaliha amako. Le nienga ondatio.
Wasesithi kibo: Hambani futhi okwensuku ezintathu, libe selibuya kimi. Basebehamba abantu.
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?
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa njani ukubuyisela impendulo kulababantu?
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.
Basebekhuluma kuyo besithi: Uba uzakuba yinceku yalababantu lamuhla ubasebenzele, ubaphendule, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, khona bezakuba zinceku zakho zonke izinsuku.
8 Fe nifarie’e ty safiry natolo’ o androanavio aze, vaho nandrambe ty fanoroa’ o ajalahy nindre nibey ama’e naho nijohañe añatrefa’eo.
Kodwa wasitshiya iseluleko sabadala ababemeluleke ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayemi phambi kwakhe.
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?
Wasesithi kuwo: Lipha seluleko bani ukuthi sibuyisele impendulo kulababantu abakhulume lami besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
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.
Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma kuye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo kulababantu abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena yenza libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kibo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.
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.
Uba-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, mina-ke ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
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.
Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
13 Le sinotra’ i mpanjakay ondatio, vaho napo’e i fanoroañe natolo’ o androanavioy;
Inkosi yasibaphendula abantu kalukhuni, yatshiya iseluleko sabadala ababeyeluleke ngaso.
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.
Yakhuluma kubo njengokweseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
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.
Ngalokho inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela eNkosini ukuze iqinise ilizwi layo, iNkosi eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
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.
Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu babuyisela impendulo enkosini besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Yebo, kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Emathenteni akho, Israyeli! Khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli waya emathenteni akhe.
17 Fe mbe nifehe o ana’ Israele nimoneñe amo rova’ Iehodaoo t’i Rekhavame.
Mayelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
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.
Khona inkosi uRehobhowamu yathuma uAdoniramu owayephezu kwezibhalwa; uIsrayeli wonke wasemkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa. Ngakho inkosi uRehobhowamu yakhwela masinyane inqola yayo, ukubalekela eJerusalema.
19 Aa le niola amy anjomba’ i Davidey t’Israele pake henane.
Ngokunjalo uIsrayeli wayihlamukela indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
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.
Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli wonke esezwile ukuthi uJerobhowamu ubuyile, bathuma bambizela enhlanganweni, bamenza inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; kakubanga khona olandela indlu kaDavida ngaphandle kwesizwe sakoJuda sodwa.
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.
Kwathi uRehobhowamu esefikile eJerusalema wabuthanisa yonke indlu yakoJuda lesizwe sakoBhenjamini, abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, abalwa impi, ukulwa lendlu yakoIsrayeli, ukubuyisela umbuso kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni.
22 Fe niheo amy Semaià, ondatin’ Añahare, ty tsaran’ Añahare nanao ty hoe:
Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:
23 Saontsio t’i Rekhavame, ana’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Iehoday naho i anjomba’ Iehoda naho Beniamine iabiy vaho o ila’ ondatio, ty hoe;
Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuyo yonke indlu yakoJuda leyakoBhenjamini, lensali yabantu, uthi:
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.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lingenyuki njalo lingalwi labafowenu, abantwana bakoIsrayeli. Buyelani, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe; ngoba linto ivela kimi. Basebelilalela ilizwi leNkosi, babuyela ukuhamba, njengokwelizwi leNkosi.
25 Namboare’ Iarovame am-bohibohi’ i Efraime ao t’i Sekeme, le nimoneñe ao; vaho niavotse ama’e namboatse i Penoele.
UJerobhowamu wasesakha iShekema entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wahlala kuyo; wasephuma lapho wakha iPenuweli.
26 Le hoe ty fitsakorean-tro’ Iarovame, Himpoly amy anjomba’ i Davidey henane zao i fifeheañey,
UJerobhowamu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Khathesi umbuso uzabuyela endlini kaDavida.
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.
Uba lesisizwe sisenyukela ukwenza imihlatshelo endlini yeNkosi eJerusalema, khona inhliziyo yalesisizwe izabuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda, njalo bazangibulala babuyele kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda.
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.
Ngakho inkosi yathatha icebo, yenza amathole amabili egolide, yathi kubo: Kunzima kakhulu kini ukwenyukela eJerusalema; khangela, onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula elizweni leGibhithe.
29 Napo’e e Betele ao ty raike le napo’e e Dane ao ty raike.
Wasemisa elinye eBhetheli, lelinye walifaka eDani.
30 F’ie toe hakeo; amy te nionjoñe hitalaho ami’ty raik’ ama’e ondaty pake Daneo.
Loludaba lwaselusiba yisono; ngoba abantu baya phambi kwelinye kuze kube seDani ukuyakhonza.
31 Namboara’e kijà ka o haboañeo, vaho boak’ am’ ondaty tsotra iabio ty nanoe’e mpisoroñe fa tsy amo ana’ i Levio.
Wasesenza indlu yezindawo eziphakemeyo, wenza abapristi ngabaphansi kakhulu babantu, ababengeyisiwo bamadodana amaLevi.
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.
UJerobhowamu wasesenza umkhosi ngenyanga yesificaminwembili ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga njengomkhosi owawukoJuda, wanikela phezu kwelathi. Wenza njalo eBhetheli, ehlabela amathole ayewenzile. Wabeka eBhetheli abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo ayezenzile.
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.
Wasenikela phezu kwelathi ayelenzile eBhetheli ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesificaminwembili, enyangeni ayeyiqambile evela enhliziyweni yakhe. Wenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli umkhosi, wanikela phezu kwelathi etshisa impepha.
