1 Ie nioreñe ty fifehea’ i Rekoboame naho naozatse, le naforintse’e ty Tsara’ Iehovà, ie naho Israele iaby.
And it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, 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 comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—
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 one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—
4 Le rinambe’e o rova aman-kijoly Iehodao vaho nitakare’e t’Ierosalaime.
and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes 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 has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have 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 heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [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 YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;
8 F’ie h’ondevo’e, hianatse ty fitoroñañe amako ami’ty fitoroñañe o fifehea’ ty tane toio.
but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”
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 comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes 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 makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
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 comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
12 Aa kanao nirè-batan-dre, le nihànkañ’ ama’e ty haviñera’ Iehovà, tsy rinotsa’e ho mongotse; nanintsiñe t’Iehodà henane zay.
And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.
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 strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
14 Nanao haratian-dre, amy te tsy nihajarie’e añ’ arofo’e ao ty fipaiñe Iehovà.
and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.
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 matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;
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 lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
