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 Rehobo'am went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come 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 it came to pass, when Jerobo'am the son of Nebat heard of it, for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, that Jerobo'am returned out of Egypt.
3 ie nampisangitrife’ iereo—le nimb’eo t’Iarovame naho Israele iaby nisaontsy amy Rekoboame ami’ty hoe:
And they sent and called him: and so came Jerobo'am with all Israel and spoke to Rehobo'am, 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 made our yoke hard; but now do thou make lighter the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Mimpolia mb’amako naho modo ty telo andro. Aa le nienga ondatio.
And he said unto them, After but three days, then return unto me. And the people went away.
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?
Then consulted king Rehobo'am with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do you advise that I should return an answer to this 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 spoke unto him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak to them good words: then will they be servants unto thee for all times.
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 which the old men had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and who stood before him.
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 unto them, How do you counsel how we should give an answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make lighter the yoke which thy father did put 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.
Then spoke with him the young men that were grown up with him, saying, Thus must thou say unto the people that have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but do thou make it lighter unto us: thus must thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
11 Aa kanao nampilogologoen-draeko joka mavesatse, le ho tompeako o joka’ areoo; nilafaen-draeko am-pifiake, fa izaho ka ty handilo an-kalafiañe.
And now [if] my father hath burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: [if] my father hath chastised you with whips, then will I [do it] with scorpion-thorns.
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.
When now Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day:
13 Fe nanoiñe an-tsotrake i mpanjakay; nifarie’ i mpanjakay ty fanoroa’ i androanavy rey,
The king answered them harshly; and king Rehobo'am forsook the counsel of the old men;
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 to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will [do it] with scorpion-thorns.
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 the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was so brought about from God, in order that the Lord might fulfill his word, which he had spoken by means of Achiyahu the Shilonite unto Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.
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.
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel; now, see to thy own house, David. So did all Israel go to their tents.
17 Fe o ana’ Israele nimoneñe an-drova’ Iehodao, mbe nifehe’ i Rekoboame.
But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, over them did Rehobo'am reign.
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.
Then sent king Rehobo'am Hadoram who was over the tribute; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehobo'am made speed with his might to get upon his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Aa le niola amy anjomba’ i Davidey t’Israele ampara’ te henane.
So did Israel rebel against the house of David unto this day.
