2 Tantara 10
1 Le nimb’e Sekeme añe t’i Rekoboame; aa naho nivotrake e Sekeme ao iaby t’Israele hanao aze mpanjaka,
And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.
2 naho jinanji’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate—ie e Mitsraime añe ami’ty niorata’e tsy hiatrefa’e i Selomò mpanjakay fe nimpoly boake Mitsraime t’Iarovame,
And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon, ) heard it, forthwith he returned.
3 ie nampisangitrife’ iereo—le nimb’eo t’Iarovame naho Israele iaby nisaontsy amy Rekoboame ami’ty hoe:
And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
4 Nanoen-drae’o gañe o joka’aio, aa le hamaivaño o fitoroñañe nasampen-drae’o ama’aio naho i joka’e nampijinie’e anaiy vaho hitoroñe azo zahay.
Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee.
5 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Mimpolia mb’amako naho modo ty telo andro. Aa le nienga ondatio.
And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,
6 Le nisafiry amo androanavy nijohañe añatrefa’ i Selomò rae’e t’ie niveloñeo t’i Rekoboame ami’ty hoe: Ino ty hanoroa’ areo ahy havaleko ondaty retoañe?
He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people?
7 Le nisaontsia’ iareo ty hoe: Naho tretreze’o ondaty retoa naho hampifalè’o vaho isaontsia’o volan-tsoa, le ho mpitoro’o nainai’e.
And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 Fe napo’e i fañereta’ o androanavioy, le nitsò-pañahi’ o ajalahy nindre nibeizeñe ama’e mpijohañe añatrefa’eo.
But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train.
9 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Ino ty hatoro’ areo ahy, hamalean-tika ondaty nanao amako ty hoe: Hamaivaño i joka nampijinien-drae’o anaiy?
And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
10 Le hoe ty saontsi’ o ajalahy nindre nibey ama’eo: Ty hoe ty hatao’o am’ondaty nanao ama’o: Nampavesaren-drae’o o joka’aio, aa le hamaivaño ama’ay, Ty hoe ty hanoa’o: Boda’e te aman-tohan-draeko ty anakikiko.
But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
11 Aa kanao nampilogologoen-draeko joka mavesatse, le ho tompeako o joka’ areoo; nilafaen-draeko am-pifiake, fa izaho ka ty handilo an-kalafiañe.
My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
12 Aa le nimb’amy Rekoboame mb’eo amy andro fahateloy t’Iarovame naho ondaty iabio, amy nafe’ i mpanjakaiy ami’ty hoe: Mimpolia mb’etoa ami’ty andro fahatelo.
So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
13 Fe nanoiñe an-tsotrake i mpanjakay; nifarie’ i mpanjakay ty fanoroa’ i androanavy rey,
And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.
14 vaho i entañe natoro’ i ajalahy reiy ty nanoe’e, ami’ty hoe; Nampijinie’e joka mavesatse, fe ho tompeako; nilafaen-draeko am-pifiake fa izaho ka an-kalafiañe.
And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
15 Aa le tsy hinao’ i mpanjakay ondatio, amy t’ie fampivalihan’ Añahare, hampijadoña’ Iehovà i tsara nitsarae’e am-pità’ i Akiià nte-Silone am’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebatey.
And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 Aa ie nioni’ Israele iaby te tsy nañaoñe iareo i mpanjakay, le hoe ty natoi’ ondatio i mpanjakay: Ino ty anjara’ay amy Davide? Toe tsy aman-dova amy ana’ Iisaiy zahay; songa mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo, ry Israele; le ambeno i anjomba’oy henane zao ry Davide, vaho hene nienga mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo t’Israele.
And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David, feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings.
17 Fe o ana’ Israele nimoneñe an-drova’ Iehodao, mbe nifehe’ i Rekoboame.
But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.
18 Nirahe’ i Rekoboame amy zao t’i Hadorame mpifehe i habay; f’ie rinetsa’ o ana’ Israeleo vato, le nihomake. Aa le nihitrihitry mb’amy sarete’ey mb’eo t’i Rekoboame mpanjaka, niherereake mb’e Ierosalaime añe.
And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to gee up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem.
19 Aa le niola amy anjomba’ i Davidey t’Israele ampara’ te henane.
And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
