1 Kwathi uRehobhowami esefike eJerusalema, wabuthanisa abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini, amadoda empi azinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ukuba bayekulwa labako-Israyeli ukuze babuyisele uRehobhowami embusweni.

Hagi Rehoboamu'ma Jerusalemi kumate'ma ne-eno'a, Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma huzmanteno ana maka Israeli mopama erino kinima mani'nakura, ha'ma hu antahi'zama eri'naza vahera 180tauseni'a vahetami Juda nagapinte'ene Benzameni nagapintira ke hutru huno, Israeli vahera agrarega zamavarenteno kegava huzmantenaku hu'ne.

2 Kodwa ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:

Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Semaiana anage huno asami'ne,

3 “Tshela uRehobhowami indodana kaSolomoni inkosi yakoJuda, labo bonke abako-Israyeli koJuda lakoBhenjamini uthi,

Kagra vunka, Juda kini ne' Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamune, maka Israeli vahetamima Judama nemaniza vahetamine, Benzameni naga'enena,

4 ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Lingaphumi ukuthi liyekulwa labafowenu. Buyelani emizini yenu, lina lonke, ngoba lokhu kuyikwenza kwami.’” Ngakho balalela ilizwi likaThixo, babuyela emizini yabo, kabasayanga kulwa loJerobhowamu.

Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ome zamasamio, tamagra marerita tamafuhe'zanena hara ome osugahazanki, makamota nontamirega vuta eta hiho. Na'ankure Nagra e'ina zana fore hugahie hu'na hu'noazamo fore nehie. Anage hige'za Ra Anumzamofonke antahi'za Jeroboamuna hara ome huonte atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.

5 URehobhowami wahlala eJerusalema njalo wakha imizi eyizinqaba koJuda:

Hagi Rehoboamu'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'neno ha'ma hanigeno fraki rankumatamima Juda mopafi me'neana ete eri hanavetino kintetere hu'ne.

6 iBhethilehema, le-Ethamu, leThekhowa,

Hagi ana rankumatamina Betlehemu kumaki, Etam kumaki, Tekoa kumaki,

7 leBhethi Zuri, leSokho, le-Adulami,

Gati kumaki, Maresa kumaki, Zifi kumaki,

9 le-Adorayimi, leLakhishi, le-Azekha,

Adoraimi kumaki, Lakisi kumaki, Azeka kumaki,

10 leZora, le-Ayijaloni, kanye leHebhroni. Le kwakuyimizi ebiyelweyo koJuda lakoBhenjamini.

Zora kumaki, Aijaloni kumaki Hebroni kuma'enene. Hagi ama ana mika rankumatamina Judane, Benzameni mopafi me'ne.

11 Waqinisa izinqaba zayo wabeka abalawuli bempi kuyo, wabuthela ezinqabeni ukudla lamafutha omʼoliva lewayini.

Hagi hankavenentake vihuma hunte kumatamimpina sondia vahete kva vahetami zamavarenenteno, ne'zane olivi masaventamine, waini tinena anampina ante'ne.

12 Wafaka izihlangu lemikhonto kuyo yonke imizi, wayiqinisa kakhulu. Ngakho-ke wabusa koJuda lakoBhenjamini.

Hagi anazanke huno ana ranra kumatamimpina hankoramine, karugru keveramine, refko huno antetere nehuno, ana kuma keginaramina eri hanavetino tro hu'ne. E'ina huno Juda naga'ene Benzameni naga'enena kegava hu'ne.

13 Abaphristi labaLevi kulezozabelo kulolonke elako-Israyeli bamsekela.

Hagi Israeli mopafima maka noti kazigama me'nea kumatamimpi nemani'za maka pristi vahe'mo'zane, Livae vahe'mo'za Rehoboamu kazigage ante'naze.

14 AbaLevi bahle batshiya amadlelo abo lempahla, baya koJuda laseJerusalema, ngoba uJerobhowamu lamadodana akhe wala ukuthi bangabaphristi bakaThixo.

Hagi Livae vahe'mo'zane kumazamine, sipisipi afu'ene bulimakao afu'enema kegavama nehaza kuma'enena atre'za, Juda kumate'ene Jerusalemi kumate e'naze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu'ene ne' mofavre'amoza Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera omanigahaze hu'za huzmante'nazagu arara hu'naze.

15 Wasekhetha abakhe abaphristi wababeka ezindaweni zokukhonzela, labezithombe zembuzi lezamathole ayezenzile.

Hagi agra'a pristi vahetami zamazeri otige'za mono'ma nehaza agona kumatamimpina meme afu'mofone bulimakao anentamofo amema'a tro hunte'nege'za monora hunte'naze.

16 Abezizwana zonke zako-Israyeli ababezimisele ukukhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, balandela abaLevi eJerusalema ukuyanikela imihlatshelo yabo kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.

Hagi maka Israeli vahe'mo'za naga nofipinti'ma Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona hanaveti'za mono'ma huntenaku'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zane, pristi vahetamine Livae nagara zamavariri'za Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzante kresramna vunaku Jerusalemi vu'naze.

17 Baqinisa umbuso kaJuda basekela uRehobhowami indodana kaSolomoni iminyaka emithathu, belandela indlela kaDavida lekaSolomoni ngalesosikhathi.

Hagi 3'a kafufina Juda vahe'ene umani'neza Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamuna aza hu'za Juda kumara eri hanaveti'naze. Na'ankure ana 3'a kafufina zamagra Deviti'ene, Solomonikema kinima manineke knare zanavu'zanava hu'na'a zanavu'zanava avariri'za, Rehoboamuna aza hu'naze.

18 URehobhowami wathatha uMahalathi, indodakazi kaJerimothi indodana kaDavida, leka-Abhihayili indodakazi ka-Eliyabi indodana kaJese, waba ngumkakhe,

Hagi Rehoboamu'a, Deviti nemofo Jerimoti mofa Mahalati ara eri'ne. Hagi Mahalati nerera agi'a Abihailikino agra Jesi nemofo Eliapu mofa mani'ne.

19 wamzalela amadodana la: uJewushi loShemariya loZahamu.

Hagi Mahalati'a Rehoboamunte mani'neno, Jeusima, Semariama Zahamuma huno kasezmante'ne.

20 Wasethatha njalo uMahakha indodakazi ka-Abhisalomu owamzalela o-Abhija lo-Athayi loZiza loShelomithi.

Henka ara Jehoboamu'a Absalomu mofa Ma'aka ara eri'ne. Hagi Rehoboamunteti'ma Ma'akama kasezmante'nea mofavreramina Abijama, Ataima, Zizama, Selomitima huno kasezmante'ne.

21 URehobhowami wathanda kakhulu uMahakha indodakazi ka-Abhisalomu ukwedlula bonke omkakhe labafazi beceleni; wathatha abafazi abalitshumi lasificaminwembili, labafazi beceleni abangamatshumi ayisithupha.

Hagi Rehoboamu'a maka ane'aramimpinti'ene henka a'nema erinefintira zamagatereno Absalomu mofa Ma'akana rama'azampi avesinte'ne. Hagi ana maka 18ni'a ese a'negi henka a'nea 60'a zamante'ne. Hagi ana a'nemo'za ne' mofavreramina 28'a kasezmante'za 60'a mofane kasezamante'naze.

22 URehobhowami wabeka u-Abhija indodana kaMahakha ukuba abe yinkosana enkulu kubafowabo ngoba wayeqonde ukumenza inkosi.

E'ina hu'negu Rehoboamu'a Ma'aka nemofo Abija kva azeri otigeno, zamafuhe'ina kegava huzmante'ne. E'ina hu'neno henka kini azeri otisigu anara hu'ne.

23 Wenza ngokuhlakanipha, amadodana akhe wawabeka ezindaweni zonke zakoJuda lakoBhenjamini, kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo. Wasebanika ukudla okunengi, wabadingela labafazi abanengi.

Rehoboamu'a knare antahintahi erino mago'a ne' mofavre naga'a eri'zana refko huno nezamino, mago'a ne'mofavre naga'a huzmantege'za Juda naga mopafine, Benzameni naga mopafi'ma me'nea ranra kumatamima eri hankavematia kumatamina kegava hutere hu'naze. Ana nehuno rama'a feno nezmino, rama'a a'ne hagezami'ne.
