1 URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayefike eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
Rehoboam chu Shechem’ah aga chen, hichea chun Israel pumpi’n ama chu leng chansah dingin ana kikhom khom uvin ahi.
2 Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, owayelokhu eseGibhithe, ekuzwa lokhu (ngoba wayebaleke esuka phambi kukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wahlala eGibhithe),
Nebat chapa Jeroboam chun hichu ajah phat in Egypt’a konin ahung kile tan ahi. Ama chu Solomon lengpa a kona Egypt achu ana jamlut na ahi.

4 Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke wena yenza kube lula umsebenzi olukhuni kayihlo, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
Amahon ajah’a, “Napa Solomon chun eina bolgim lheh jengun ahi. Hijeh chun napa in, poh hahsa sa eikoiden un, nangin nasuh lhomjep’a, nom dom a neilhaule, naglenggam a kitah tan in pang unge,” atiuve.
5 Wasesithi kibo: Hambani futhi okwensuku ezintathu, libe selibuya kimi. Basebehamba abantu.
Rehoboam in adonbut in, “Hiche thu’a hi ki ngaito na ding nithum phat neipeuvin, chujouteng leh ka donbutna ngai dingin hung kit tauvin,” ati. Hichun mipiho jong akile tauve.
6 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa njani ukubuyisela impendulo kulababantu?
Hichun Rehoboam lengpa chun apa Solomon thumop a anapang upa ho chu ana kihou pin, “Hiche thua hi ipi na gel uvem? Iti ka donbut ding ham nei seipeh un,” ati.
7 Basebekhuluma kuyo besithi: Uba uzakuba yinceku yalababantu lamuhla ubasebenzele, ubaphendule, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, khona bezakuba zinceku zakho zonke izinsuku.
Hichun upa ho chun adonbut un, “Nangin amaho chungahi na vaihom nom jing’a ahile adei banguvin donbut in chuti leh amaho hi nangma midih tah hi jing diu ahi,” atipeh uve.
8 Kodwa wasitshiya iseluleko sabadala ababemeluleke ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayemi phambi kwakhe.
Ahinlah Rehoboam in tehseho thumop la louvin khangdong amatoh hung seilen khomho ama thumop’a hung pang hojoh chu ipi na gel uvem tin ana dong tan ahi.
9 Wasesithi kuwo: Lipha seluleko bani ukuthi sibuyisele impendulo kulababantu abakhulume lami besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
Aman amaho jah’a chun, “Hiche mipi hon napan kachung uva pohgih eipoh sah uhi neisuh lhompeh un atiu hi, iti ka donbut ding ham?” tin ana dongin ahi.
10 Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma kuye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo kulababantu abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena yenza libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kibo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.
Hiche khangthah hochun, “Pohgih nei suhlhom peh un tia phun ho chu hitin donbut in, ‘Ka khut jung neocha hi kapa kong sang in asa jon ahi.
11 Uba-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, mina-ke ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
Kapan na chung uva pohgih nana pohsah’u chu, keiman ka gihsah cheh ding ahi. Kapan khaojanga na jep’u ahi, kenvang sakol jepna a kajep diu nahiuve tipeh in,” atiuve.
12 Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
Jeroboam le mipi ho chu abonchauvin Rehoboam in a thupeh bang bangin nithum chanin lengpa thupeh ngai dingin ahung kit tauvin ahi.
13 Inkosi yasibaphendula abantu kalukhuni, yatshiya iseluleko sabadala ababeyeluleke ngaso.
Ahin Rehoboam in amaho koma chun, upa ho thumop lalou in, ngailou tah’in thu ana sei tan ahi.
14 Yakhuluma kubo njengokweseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
Aman akhangthah chanpi ho thumop joh chu ana sangin, “Kapan pohgih nana pohsah’u chu tuni ahi keiman ka gihsah cheh ding ahi. Kapan khaova najep’u ahin keiman sakol jepna a kajep diu na hiuve,” tin ana donbut tan ahi.
15 Ngalokho inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela eNkosini ukuze iqinise ilizwi layo, iNkosi eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
Hiti chun lengpan mipite chu nasah louvin anakoi tan ahi. Hitobang thilsoh hi Pathen thilgon ahi. Ajeh chu Shiloh a kona hung Ahizah Themgao mangcha a Pakaiyin Nebat chapa Jeroboam kom’a athu hetsah chu guilhun na ding thilsoh ahi.
16 Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu babuyisela impendulo enkosini besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Yebo, kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Emathenteni akho, Israyeli! Khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli waya emathenteni akhe.
Israel mipiten lengpa kom’a ataonau chu asanpeh tapoi ti ahet phat’un, amahon hitin adonbut tauve, “David insung mite mangthah u hen! Jesse chapa chungah lunglutna kanei tapouve, Vo Israel mite inlam kijot tauvin! Vo David! Nang in na insung bou kivet tan,” tin asam un, hiti chun Israel mipi chu ainlam cheh uva akile tauvin ahi.
17 Mayelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
Ahinlah Rehoboam in Judahh khopi ho cheng Israel ho chung’a chun vai ana hom nalai jin ahi.
18 Khona inkosi uRehobhowamu yathuma uAdoniramu owayephezu kwezibhalwa; uIsrayeli wonke wasemkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa. Ngakho inkosi uRehobhowamu yakhwela masinyane inqola yayo, ukubalekela eJerusalema.
Rehoboam in namna a natongho chunga vaihompa chu mipi thunun ding chun agah sol’in ahile ama chu mipi hon songin ana seplih tauvin ahi. Hiche thu chu Rehoboam lengpan ajahdoh phat in asakol kangtalai chung’a akaldoh loijin Jerusalem lang’a ajam tan ahi.
19 Ngokunjalo uIsrayeli wayihlamukela indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
Hiche’a pat hin sahlam gamkai’a um Israel phungho jousen David chilhah khat in achung'uva vai ahop dingu chu anom tapouvin ahi.
20 Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli wonke esezwile ukuthi uJerobhowamu ubuyile, bathuma bambizela enhlanganweni, bamenza inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; kakubanga khona olandela indlu kaDavida ngaphandle kwesizwe sakoJuda sodwa.

21 Kwathi uRehobhowamu esefikile eJerusalema wabuthanisa yonke indlu yakoJuda lesizwe sakoBhenjamini, abakhethiweyo abayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, abalwa impi, ukulwa lendlu yakoIsrayeli, ukubuyisela umbuso kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni.
Rehoboam chu Jerusalem alhung phat’in, aman Judahh le Benjamin phung’a konin a chomkhom in a lenggam tundoh kitna ding’a Israel mite sat dingin sepai sang jakhat le sangsom get alhengdoh in ahi.
22 Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:
Ahinlah Pathen in Pathen mipa Shemaiah kom’ah hitin ahin seije,
23 Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuyo yonke indlu yakoJuda leyakoBhenjamini, lensali yabantu, uthi:
“Benjamin le Judahh mipite ho jouse komle Judahh lengpa Solomon chapa Rehoboam komleh mipi adang jouse kom’ah seijin,
24 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lingenyuki njalo lingalwi labafowenu, abantwana bakoIsrayeli. Buyelani, ngulowo lalowo endlini yakhe; ngoba linto ivela kimi. Basebelilalela ilizwi leNkosi, babuyela ukuhamba, njengokwelizwi leNkosi.
‘Pathen in hitin aseiye, nasopi Israeltehi kisatpi hih’in, na incheh uva kile tauvin ajeh chu hiche hi keima na toh ahi!’ati. Hitichun Pakai thupeh chu ajui’un, ama ama inlang cheh’a akile tauvin ahi.
25 UJerobhowamu wasesakha iShekema entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wahlala kuyo; wasephuma lapho wakha iPenuweli.
Jeroboam Ephraim thinglhang gam’ah Shechem khopi chu ana tungdoh in, hichu ama leng khopi ahung hitan ahi. Hijouchun ama achen Panuel khopi jong aga tungdoh in ahi.
26 UJerobhowamu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Khathesi umbuso uzabuyela endlini kaDavida.
Jeroboam chu aki ngaiton, “Keima ka chih theilou leh hiche lenggam hi David chilhahte langa le lut kit thei ahi,” tin agel in ahi.
27 Uba lesisizwe sisenyukela ukwenza imihlatshelo endlini yeNkosi eJerusalema, khona inhliziyo yalesisizwe izabuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda, njalo bazangibulala babuyele kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda.
“Hiche mipite hi Jerusalema ache uva Pakai Houin a kilhaina agabol jing uva ahileh, Judahh lengpa Rehoboam noiyah avel in hunglutkit get unte, chuleh keima hi eitha uva amahi a Leng uva aki lahlut kit diu ahi,” tin ana gel in ahi.
28 Ngakho inkosi yathatha icebo, yenza amathole amabili egolide, yathi kubo: Kunzima kakhulu kini ukwenyukela eJerusalema; khangela, onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula elizweni leGibhithe.
Hijeh chun amiching hole athumop ho dungjuiyin, lengpa chun sana in bongnou lim asem in amite kom’a, “Jerusalema Pathen houva nache jiuhi, ahahsa behseh’e, veuvin Israelte Egypt a kona na hinpuidoh uva chu hiche Pathen teni hi ahi,” ati peh in ahi.
29 Wasemisa elinye eBhetheli, lelinye walifaka eDani.
Aman hiche semthu bong nou lim pathen teni hi Bethel khopi ah khat chule Dan khopi ah khat akoiyin ahi.
30 Loludaba lwaselusiba yisono; ngoba abantu baya phambi kwelinye kuze kube seDani ukuyakhonza.

31 Wasesenza indlu yezindawo eziphakemeyo, wenza abapristi ngabaphansi kakhulu babantu, ababengeyisiwo bamadodana amaLevi.
Jeroboam min semthu pathen houna mun’a chun doiphung phabep a tungdoh in, Levi phungmi hilou milham phabep jong thempu in a thenso tan ahi.
32 UJerobhowamu wasesenza umkhosi ngenyanga yesificaminwembili ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga njengomkhosi owawukoJuda, wanikela phezu kwelathi. Wenza njalo eBhetheli, ehlabela amathole ayewenzile. Wabeka eBhetheli abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo ayezenzile.
Chule Jeroboam in Bethel khopiah houthudol kut khat jong ana pandoh in, hichu lhaget channa ani somlenga nileh ana boljin ahi. Hichu Judahh ten hoidohna golvah kum khat na khatvei aboljiu tobanga ahi.

33 Wasenikela phezu kwelathi ayelenzile eBhetheli ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesificaminwembili, enyangeni ayeyiqambile evela enhliziyweni yakhe. Wenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli umkhosi, wanikela phezu kwelathi etshisa impepha.
Hijeh chun, ama tah’in anagon nikho, lhaget lhinna ni, som le nga channa alhinteng Jeroboam amatah in Bethel kilhaina maicham gantha ama lungdei tah’in ana boljin, aman Israelte houthu dol’a kut ana phudoh’a chu ama tah in kilhaina gantha maicham chungah ana bol’in, gim namtui jong ana lhutnam jin ahi.
