1 Amakhosi 12
1 URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayefike eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
Rehoboam el som nu Shechem, yen mwet nukewa in sruf epang elos fahsreni nu we in akwalyalak nu ke tokosra.
2 Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, owayelokhu eseGibhithe, ekuzwa lokhu (ngoba wayebaleke esuka phambi kukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wahlala eGibhithe),
Ke Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tuh kaingkunul Solomon ac som nu Egypt, el lohng ke pweng se inge, na el foloko liki acn Egypt.
3 bathuma bambiza. UJerobhowamu lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli basebesiza bakhuluma loRehobhowamu besithi:
Mwet in sruf in acn epang sapla solalma, ac elos nukewa som nu yorol Rehoboam, ac fahk nu sel,
4 Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke wena yenza kube lula umsebenzi olukhuni kayihlo, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
“Solomon, papa tomom, el tuh arulana akkeokye kut ac filiya mwe utuk toasr facsr. Kom fin akmulalaye mwe utuk inge ac akfisrasryela nu sesr, na kut ac fah kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye.”
5 Wasesithi kibo: Hambani futhi okwensuku ezintathu, libe selibuya kimi. Basebehamba abantu.
El topkolos ouinge, “Kowos foloko tukun len tolu, na nga fah sot top luk nu suwos.” Na elos som.
6 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa njani ukubuyisela impendulo kulababantu?
Tokosra Rehoboam el som in eis nunak sin mwet matu su tuh mwet kasru fulat lal Solomon, papa tumal. El siyuk selos, “Top fuka kowos nunku mu fal nga in sang topuk mwe siyuk lun mwet uh?”
7 Basebekhuluma kuyo besithi: Uba uzakuba yinceku yalababantu lamuhla ubasebenzele, ubaphendule, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, khona bezakuba zinceku zakho zonke izinsuku.
Ac elos fahk, “Kom fin lungse kasru mwet inge, kom sang sie top ma elos ac insewowo kac, na pacl nukewa elos ac kulansupwekom ke inse pwaye.”
8 Kodwa wasitshiya iseluleko sabadala ababemeluleke ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayemi phambi kwakhe.
Tusruktu Rehoboam el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac som nu yurin mwet fusr su matwalna ac welul kapkapak, ac inge elos mwet kasru lal.
9 Wasesithi kuwo: Lipha seluleko bani ukuthi sibuyisele impendulo kulababantu abakhulume lami besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
El siyuk selos, “Kasru fuka lowos nu sik? Mea nga ac sang topuk mwet ma siyuk nga in akmulalaye mwe utuk lalos?”
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.
Ac elos fahk, “Pa inge ma kom ac fahk nu selos uh: ‘Kuf srisrik soko ke pouk uh, yohk liki infulwen papa tumuk.’
11 Uba-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, mina-ke ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
Fahk pac nu selos mu, ‘Papa tumuk el tuh filiya mwe utuk toasr nu fowos, a nga ac oru in toasr liki. El tuh puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke mwe sringsring oasr osra kac!’”
12 Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
Tukun len tolu, Jeroboam ac mwet nukewa folokla nu yorol Tokosra Rehoboam, oana ke el tuh fahk nu selos.
13 Inkosi yasibaphendula abantu kalukhuni, yatshiya iseluleko sabadala ababeyeluleke ngaso.
Tokosra el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac el kaskas na toasr nu sin mwet uh,
14 Yakhuluma kubo njengokweseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
in oana ma mwet fusr uh fahk su sel. El fahk, “Papa tumuk el filiya mwe utuk toasr nu fowos, a nga ac oru in toasr liki na. El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke mwe sringsring oasr osra kac!”
15 Ngalokho inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela eNkosini ukuze iqinise ilizwi layo, iNkosi eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
Ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa inge, tuh in sikyak oana ma El tuh fahk nu sel Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, in kas lun Ahijah, mwet palu Shiloh. Pa inge sripa se sis tokosra el tiana lohang nu sin mwet uh.
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.
Ke mwet uh liye lah tokosra el tiana lohngolos, na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Tolulla David ac sou lal! Wanginna sripaltal nu sesr! Mwet Israel, kut folokelik nu yen sesr! Sang Rehoboam elan sifacna fosrngakunul!” Ouinge mwet Israel elos forla lainul tokosra,
17 Mayelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
na pwanang Rehoboam el tokosra lun mwet na ma muta in acn Judah mukena.
18 Khona inkosi uRehobhowamu yathuma uAdoniramu owayephezu kwezibhalwa; uIsrayeli wonke wasemkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa. Ngakho inkosi uRehobhowamu yakhwela masinyane inqola yayo, ukubalekela eJerusalema.
Na Tokosra Rehoboam el supwalla Adoniram, su kol orekma lun mwet kohs, elan som nu yurin mwet Israel, na elos tanglal nwe ke el misa. Ke sripa se inge Rehoboam el sulaklak na sroang nu fin chariot natul, ac kaingla nu Jerusalem.
19 Ngokunjalo uIsrayeli wayihlamukela indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
In pacl sac me, mwet in sruf nukewa epang in Israel, elos alein na nu sin mwet leum in fwil natul David.
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.
Ke pacl se mwet Israel lohngak lah Jeroboam el foloko Egypt me, elos solalma nu ke tukeni lalos, ac elos akwalyalak elan tokosra lalos mwet Israel. Sruf lal Judah mukena pa srakna orekma nu sin mwet in fwil natul David.
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.
Ke Rehoboam el sun acn Jerusalem el pangoneni siofok oalngoul tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin. El nunku elan som mweuni sruf in acn epang, elan sifil folokonak ku lal in leum faclos.
22 Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:
Tusruktu God El fahk nu sin mwet palu Shemaiah
23 Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuyo yonke indlu yakoJuda leyakoBhenjamini, lensali yabantu, uthi:
elan sang kas inge nu sel Rehoboam ac nu sin mwet nukewa in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin:
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.
“Nimet mweuni mwet Israel wiowos. Kowos nukewa folokelik nu yen suwos an. Ma sikyak inge ma lungse luk!” Na elos nukewa akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac folokelik nu yen selos.
25 UJerobhowamu wasesakha iShekema entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wahlala kuyo; wasephuma lapho wakha iPenuweli.
Tokosra Jeroboam el kuhlasak siti srisrik Shechem infulan eol in acn Ephraim, ac muta we ke kitin pacl. Na el som liki acn we ac kuhlasak pac siti srisrik Penuel.
26 UJerobhowamu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Khathesi umbuso uzabuyela endlini kaDavida.
El sifacna motkwe mu, “Inge tokosrai uh ku na in mau folokyang nu sin mwet in fwil natul David.
27 Uba lesisizwe sisenyukela ukwenza imihlatshelo endlini yeNkosi eJerusalema, khona inhliziyo yalesisizwe izabuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda, njalo bazangibulala babuyele kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda.
Mwet inge fin fahsrna nu Jerusalem in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD ke Tempul, na insialos ac ku na in sifil forla nu sel Tokosra Rehoboam, leum lalos in Judah, na elos ac uniyuwi.”
28 Ngakho inkosi yathatha icebo, yenza amathole amabili egolide, yathi kubo: Kunzima kakhulu kini ukwenyukela eJerusalema; khangela, onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula elizweni leGibhithe.
Tukun el nunku ke ma inge, na el orala ma sruloala gold in luman cow mukul lukwa, ac fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Fal tari pacl ma kowos foroht forma nwe Jerusalem in alu we. Mwet Israel, pa inge god lowos, su uskowosme liki acn Egypt!”
29 Wasemisa elinye eBhetheli, lelinye walifaka eDani.
Na el filiya sie ma sruloala inge in acn Bethel, ac ma se ngia in acn Dan.
30 Loludaba lwaselusiba yisono; ngoba abantu baya phambi kwelinye kuze kube seDani ukuyakhonza.
Ma inge sie ma koluk, lah mwet uh elos alu nu sin ma sruloala inge in acn Bethel ac Dan.
31 Wasesenza indlu yezindawo eziphakemeyo, wenza abapristi ngabaphansi kakhulu babantu, ababengeyisiwo bamadodana amaLevi.
Jeroboam el oayapa musaela acn in alu fineol uh, ac el sulela mwet tol su tia ma in sruf lun Levi.
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.
Jeroboam el oayapa oakiya sie len in kufwa nu selos, su oasr ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem akoalkosr, in oapana len in kufwa in acn Judah. El som nu Bethel ac orek kisa fin loang we nu sin ma sruloala gold in luman cow mukul lukwa ma el orala. Ac el filiya mwet tol in oru ma kunalos ke nien alu ma el tuh musaela in acn Bethel.
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.
Ac ke len aksingoul limekosr in malem akoalkosr, len se ma el sifacna oakiya, el som nu Bethel ac orek kisa fin loang uh, in akfulatye len in kufwa se su el oakiya nu sin mwet Israel.
