2 Tantara 12
1 Ie nioreñe ty fifehea’ i Rekoboame naho naozatse, le naforintse’e ty Tsara’ Iehovà, ie naho Israele iaby.
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
2 Aa ie tan-taom-pahalime’ i Rekoboame, amy te fonga nandilatse am’ Iehovà t’Israele, le naname Ierosalaime t’i Sisake mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime,
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
3 reketse sarete arivo-tsi-roanjato naho mpiningi-tsoavala eneñ’ ale; naho ondaty tsifotofoto nente’e boake Mitsraimeo: o nte-Libiao, o nte-Sokio vaho o nte-Koseo.
with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.
4 Le rinambe’e o rova aman-kijoly Iehodao vaho nitakare’e t’Ierosalaime.
And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Aa le nimb’ amy Rekoboame naho amo roandria’ Iehoda nifanontoñe e Ierosalaimeo t’i Semaià mpitoky, ty amy Sisake, le nanoe’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsinambolitio’ areo iraho, toly ndra napoko am-pità’ i Sisake.
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Aa le nirè-batañe o roandria’ Israeleo naho i mpanjakay vaho nanao ty hoe: Vantañe t’Iehovà.
And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.
7 Ie nivazoho’ Iehovà t’ie nirè-batañe, le niheo amy Semaià ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe: Kanao nire-batañe le tsy harotsako; fa hitolorako rombake vaho tsy am-pità’ i Sisake ty hampidoañako am’Ierosalaime ty habosehako.
And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 F’ie h’ondevo’e, hianatse ty fitoroñañe amako ami’ty fitoroñañe o fifehea’ ty tane toio.
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 Aa le naname Ierosalaime t’i Sisake mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime nitavañe ze vara añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao naho ze vara’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay; fonga nendese’e; tinava’e ka o fikalan-defoñe volamena rinanji’ i Selomòo.
And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
10 Le nandranjy fikalandefo torisike hasolo irezay t’i Rekoboame ie nampamandroñe’e o mpifehe-pigaritse mpañambeñe ty lalambei’ i mpanjakaio.
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.
11 Ie amy zao, ndra mbia’ mbia nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao i mpanjakay le rinambe’ o mpigaritseo irezay, naombe hey vaho nampoly an-trañom-piambeñe ao.
And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.
12 Aa kanao nirè-batan-dre, le nihànkañ’ ama’e ty haviñera’ Iehovà, tsy rinotsa’e ho mongotse; nanintsiñe t’Iehodà henane zay.
And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.
13 Le nihaozatse e Ierosalaime ao t’i Rekoboame naho nifehe; toe ni-efapolo-raik’amby taoñe ty Rekoboame te niorotse nifehe vaho nifehe folo-tao-fito’ amby e Ierosalaime ao, i rova jinobo’ Iehovà amo hene fifokoa’ Israeleo hampipoha’e i tahina’eiy; i Naamà nte-Amone ty tahinan-drene’e.
And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 Nanao haratian-dre, amy te tsy nihajarie’e añ’ arofo’e ao ty fipaiñe Iehovà.
And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.
15 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Rekoboameo, ty valoha’e pak’am-para’e, tsy fa sinokitse amo talili’ i Semaià mpitoky naho Idò mpitokio hao ty amo fiantoñoñeo? Nifañotakotake nainai’e t’i Rekoboame naho Iarovame.
And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Aa le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Rekoboame naho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide ao; vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Abiià ana’e.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
