2 Whakapapa 12
1 Nawai a, no te unga o te kingitanga o Rehopoama, a ka whai kaha ia, whakarerea ake e ia te ture a Ihowa, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa.
It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.
2 Na i te rima o nga tau o Kingi Rehopoama ka haere mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, kua whakakeke nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa,
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Jehovah,
3 Me nga hariata tekau ma rua rau, me nga hoia eke hoiho e ono tekau mano: kahore hoki he tauanga o te hunga i haere tahi mai i a ia i Ihipa; ko nga Rupimi, ko nga Hukiimi, ko nga Etiopiana.
with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 Na kua riro i a ia nga pa taiepa o Hura, a ka tae ki Hiruharama.
He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Katahi a Hemaia poropiti ka haere mai ki a Rehopoama, ki nga rangatira o Hura i huihui nei ki Hiruharama i te wehi i a Hihaka, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua whakarerea ahau e koutou, no reira kua waiho atu koutou e ahau ki te ringa o Hihaka.
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says Jehovah, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6 Katahi ka whakaiti nga rangatira o Iharaira me te kingi i a ratou, ka mea, He tika a Ihowa.
Then the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "Jehovah is righteous."
7 A, no te kitenga o Ihowa kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia; i mea ia, Kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou; e kore ratou e huna e ahau; engari ka hoatu e ahau ki a ratou he oranga, he mea iti nei; e kore hoki toku riri e t ahoroa ki runga ki Hiruharama e te ringa o Hihaka.
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 some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Otiia ka meinga ratou hei pononga mana; kia mohio ai ratou ki taku mahi, ki te mahi ano a nga kingitanga o nga whenua.
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
9 Heoi haere ana mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, tangohia ana e ia nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi: riro katoa ana i a ia: tangohia ana ano e ia nga pukupuku koura i hanga nei e Horomona.
So 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 it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 Na ka hanga e Kingi Rehopoama etahi pukupuku parahi hei whakakapi mo era, a tukua ana e ia ki te ringa o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, i tiaki nei i te tatau o te whare o te kingi.
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
11 Na i te wa i haere ai te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ka haere nga kaitiaki ki te tiki, a whakahokia ana e ratou ki te whare o nga kaitiaki.
It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
12 Na i a ia ka whakaiti i a ia, ka tahuri atu te riri o Ihowa i a ia, kia kaua ia e whakangaromia rawatia e ia: he pai hoki nga mea i kitea ki a Hura.
When he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
13 Heoi kua u a Kingi Rehopoama ki Hiruharama hei kingi: e wha tekau ma tahi hoki nga tau o Rehopoama i a ia ka meinga hei kingi, a kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i nga iwi katoa o I haraira hei waihotanga iho mo tona ingoa. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni.
So 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 which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 He kino tana mahi; kihai hoki i whakatikaia e ia tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa.
He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek Jehovah.
15 Na, ko nga meatanga a Rehopoama, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Hemaia poropiti, ki ta Iro matakite ano, kei reira nei nga korero whakapapa? Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Na kua moe a Rehopoama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Apia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
