2 Imilando 10
1 URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayeze eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
Rehoboamu nĩathiire Shekemu, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmathiĩte kuo makamũtue mũthamaki.
2 Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati esizwa, owayeseGibhithe lapho ayebalekele khona ubuso bukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wabuya evela eGibhithe.
Rĩrĩa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati aaiguire ũhoro ũcio (tondũ aarĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa oorĩire eherere Mũthamaki Solomoni), akiuma kũu Misiri, akĩinũka.
3 Basebethumela bambiza; uJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke basebesiza, bakhuluma kuRehobhowamu besithi:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũmanĩra Jeroboamu, nake Jeroboamu hamwe na Isiraeli rĩothe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Rehoboamu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
4 Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke yenza ube lulanyana umsebenzi kayihlo olukhuni, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
“Thoguo nĩatũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no rĩu tũhũthĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩu iritũ rĩrĩa atũigĩrĩire na nĩtũrĩgũtungatagĩra.”
5 Wasesithi kibo: Buyani kimi emva kwensuku ezintathu. Abantu basebehamba.
Rehoboamu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgaacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio magĩthiĩ.
6 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa ukubuyisela mpendulo bani kulababantu?
Thuutha ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu akĩhooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ athuuri arĩa maatungatagĩra ithe Solomoni rĩrĩa aarĩ muoyo. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩndaara atĩa nĩguo njookerie andũ acio ũhoro?”
7 Basebekhuluma kuye besithi: Uba uzalunga kulababantu, ubathokozise, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, bazakuba zinceku zakho insuku zonke.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩtuĩka mũtaana kũrĩ andũ acio, na ũmakenie, na ũmacookerie na njĩra njagĩrĩru-rĩ, megũtũũra maarĩ ndungata ciaku hĩndĩ ciothe.”
8 Kodwa wadela iseluleko sabadala abamcebisa ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayesima phambi kwakhe.
No Rehoboamu akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa athuuri maamũheire, na akĩhooya kĩrĩra kuuma kũrĩ aanake a riika rĩake arĩa maamũtungatagĩra.
9 Wasesithi kuwo: Licebisa ukuthi sibuyisele mpendulo bani kulababantu, abakhulume kimi besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
Nake akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũngĩndaara atĩa? Andũ acio maranjĩĩra ũũ, ‘Tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thoguo aatũigĩrĩire.’ Tũngĩmacookeria atĩa?”
10 Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma laye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo ebantwini abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena lenze libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kubo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.
Aanake acio a riika rĩake makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Cookeria andũ acio makwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Thoguo nĩatũigagĩrĩra icooki iritũ, no wee tũhũthĩrie icooki rĩu,’ ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Kaara gakwa ka mũira nĩ gatungu gũkĩra njohero ya baba.
11 Ngakho-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
Baba aamũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.’”
12 Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ Jeroboamu na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩcooka kũrĩ Rehoboamu, o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki oigĩte, “Nĩmũgacooka kũrĩ niĩ thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ.”
13 Inkosi yasibaphendula kalukhuni; inkosi uRehobhowamu yasidela iseluleko sabadala,
Nake mũthamaki akĩmacookeria ehĩte mũno. Akĩregana na ũtaaro ũrĩa aaheetwo nĩ athuuri,
14 yakhuluma kubo njengeseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela kulo; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
akĩrũmĩrĩra ũtaaro wa aanake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba nĩamũritũhĩirie icooki, no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baba aamũhũũraga na iboko, no niĩ ndĩrĩmũhũũraga na tũngʼaurũ.”
15 Ngokunjalo inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela kuNkulunkulu ukuze iNkosi iqinise ilizwi layo eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria andũ acio, tondũ maũndũ macio meekĩkire moimĩte kũrĩ Ngai, nĩguo kiugo kĩhingio kĩrĩa Jehova eerire Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati na kanua ka Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni.
16 Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu bayiphendula inkosi besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Njalo kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Ngulowo emathenteni akho, Israyeli; khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke waya emathenteni akhe.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire atĩ mũthamaki ũcio nĩarega kũmathikĩrĩria, magĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ na igai rĩrĩkũ harĩ Daudi, na nĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩkũ tũrĩ nakĩo harĩ mũrũ wa Jesii? Cooka hema-inĩ ciaku, wee Isiraeli! Wee Daudi-rĩ, menyerera nyũmba yaku wee mwene!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩinũka.
17 Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
No andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũmathamakĩra.
18 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasithuma uAdoramu owayengumphathi wezibhalwa; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebemkhanda ngamatshe, wasesifa. Inkosi uRehobhowamu yaphangisa ukukhwela enqoleni ukubalekela eJerusalema.
Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩtũma Adoniramu ũrĩa warĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ arĩa maarutithagio wĩra na hinya; no andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, agĩkua. No rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Rehoboamu nĩetharire, akĩhaica ngaari yake ya ita, akĩũrĩra Jerusalemu.
19 Ngalokho uIsrayeli wayihlamuka indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli makoretwo maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.
