2 Whakapapa 11
1 Na, i te taenga o Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, ka huihuia e ia te whare o Hura raua ko Pineamine, kotahi rau e waru tekau mano; he hunga whiriwhiri, he hunga whawhai, hei whawhai ki a Iharaira, kia hoki ai te kingitanga ki a Rehopoama.
And he came Rehoboam Jerusalem and he called together [the] house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen [man] maker[s] of war to do battle with Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2 Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia tangata a te Atua; i mea ia,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah [the] man of God saying.
3 Korero ki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, kingi o Hura, ki a Iharaira katoa hoki i a Hura, i a Pineamine, mea atu,
Say to Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon [the] king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin saying.
4 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei haere koutou ki runga, kei whawhai ki o koutou tuakana. Hoki atu ki tona whare, ki tona whare; naku hoki tenei mea. Heoi rongo tonu ratou ki nga kupu a Ihowa, a hoki ana, kihai i haere ki te whawhai ki a Ieropoama.
Thus he says Yahweh not you must go up and not you must do battle with countrymen your return everyone to own house his for from with me it has occurred the thing this and they obeyed [the] words of Yahweh and they turned back from going against Jeroboam.
5 Na ka noho a Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, a hanga ana e ia etahi pa tiaki ki Hura.
And he dwelt Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he built cities to fortification in Judah.
6 Nana i hanga a Peterehema, a Etema, a Tekoa,
And he built Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa.
7 A Peteturu, a Hoko, a Aturama,
And Beth Zur and Socoh and Adullam.
8 A Kata, a Mareha, a Tiwhi,
And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph.
9 A Aroaraima, a Rakihi, a Ateka,
And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah.
10 A Toraha, a Atarono, a Heperona. I a Hura enei raua ko Pineamine, he pa taiepa.
And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron which [were] in Judah and in Benjamin cities of fortifications.
11 I hanga ano e ia kia kaha etahi pa taiepa, whakawhiwhi rawa ki te rangatira mo roto, ki tona nui ano hoki o te kai, o te hinu, o te waina,
And he strengthened the fortifications and he put in them commanders and supplies of food and oil and wine.
12 Ki te pukupuku, ki te tao ano hoki i roto i tenei pa, i tenei pa; no ka tino kaha rawa; i a ia hoki a Hura raua ko Pineamine.
And [were] in every city and a city body shields and spears and he made strong them to abundance exceedingly and it belonged to him Judah and Benjamin.
13 Na, ko nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti puta noa i a Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki a ia i o ratou rohe katoa.
And the priests and the Levites who [were] in all Israel they took their stand at him from all territory their.
14 I whakarerea hoki e nga Riwaiti o ratou wahi i nga pa, me o ratou kainga ake, a haere ana ki Hura, ki Hiruharama: i peia hoki ratou e Ieropoama ratou ko ana tama, kei mahi tohunga ratou ki a Ihowa.
For they forsook the Levites pasture lands their and property their and they went to Judah and to Jerusalem for he had rejected them Jeroboam and sons his from serving as priests to Yahweh.
15 I whakaritea ano e ia etahi tohunga mana ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga koati toa, ki nga kuao kau i hanga e ia.
And he appointed for himself priests for the high places and for the goats and for the calves which he had made.
16 Na i muri i a ratou ko te hunga o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira i homai nei i o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua.
And after them from all [the] tribes of Israel those [who] set heart their to seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel they came Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
17 Heoi na ratou i whakau te kingitanga o Hura, i whakakaha hoki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, e toru tau: e toru hoki nga tau i haere ai ratou i te ara o Rawiri raua ko Horomona.
And they strengthened [the] kingdom of Judah and they strengthened Rehoboam [the] son of Solomon for years three for they walked in [the] way of David and Solomon for years three.
18 Na ka tangohia e Rehopoama hei wahine mana a Maharata tamahine a Terimoto tama a Rawiri, a raua ko Apihaira tamahine a Eriapa tama a Hehe;
And he took for himself Rehoboam a wife Mahalath ([the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Jerimoth [the] son of David Abihail [the] daughter of Eliab [the] son of Jesse.
19 Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Ieuhu, ko Hemaria, ko Tahama.
And she bore to him sons Jeush and Shemariah and Zaham.
20 A i muri i tenei wahine ka tangohia e ia ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama. Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Apia, ko Atai, ko Tita, ko Heromiti.
And after her he took Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom and she bore to him Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith.
21 Na ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama ta Rehopoama i matenui ai o ana wahine katoa, o ana wahine iti ano hoki: kotahi tekau ma waru nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine iti; a e rua tekau ma waru ana tama i whanau, e ono tekau nga tamahine.
And he loved Rehoboam Maacah [the] daughter of Absalom more than all wives his and concubines his for wives eight-teen he had taken and concubines sixty and he fathered twenty and eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Na ka meinga e Rehopoama ko Apia tama a Maaka hei upoko, hei rangatira, i roto i ona tuakana, teina; ko ia hoki tana i mea ai hei kingi.
And he appointed to the chief Rehoboam Abijah [the] son of Maacah to leader among brothers his for to make king him.
23 Na ka mahi tupato ia, a whakamararatia atu ana e ia ana tama ki nga whenua katoa o Hura, o Pineamine, ki nga pa taiepa katoa: nui atu hoki te kai i hoatu e ia ki a ratou. He tokomaha hoki nga wahine i rapua e ia ma ratou.
And he acted wisely and he distributed some of all sons his to all [the] lands of Judah and Benjamin to all [the] cities of fortifications and he gave to them food to abundance and he sought a multitude of wives.
