Sa’ad da Rehobowam ya iso Urushalima, ya tattara mayaƙa dubu ɗari takwas daga gidan Yahuda da Benyamin, don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila su sāke mai da mulki wa Rehobowam.
2 Kodwa ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:
Amma wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo ga Shemahiya mutumin Allah.
3 Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuIsrayeli wonke koJuda lakoBhenjamini, uthi:
“Faɗa wa Rehobowam ɗan Solomon sarkin Yahuda da kuma dukan Isra’ilawan da suke a Yahuda da Benyamin,
4 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Kaliyikwenyuka njalo lingalwi labafowenu. Buyelani ngulowo endlini yakhe, ngoba linto yenziwe yimi. Basebelilalela ilizwi leNkosi, baphenduka ekuyenimelana loJerobhowamu.
‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce kada ku haura don ku yi yaƙi da’yan’uwanku. Ku tafi gida kowannenku, gama wannan yi na ne.’” Saboda haka suka yi biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji suka kuma koma daga takawa don yaƙi da Yerobowam.
5 URehobhowamu wasehlala eJerusalema, wakha imizi eyizinqaba koJuda.
Rehobowam ya zauna a Urushalima ya kuma gina garuruwa don kāriya a cikin Yahuda.

11 Waseqinisa izinqaba, wabeka abalawulimabutho kizo, leziphala zokudla lamafutha lewayini.
Ya ƙarfafa kāriyarsu ya kuma sa shugabannin mayaƙa a cikinsu, tare da tanadin abinci, man zaitun da kuma ruwan inabi.
12 Lakuwo wonke umuzi lomuzi wabeka izihlangu ezinkulu lemikhonto, wayiqinisa kakhulukazi. Njalo uJuda loBhenjamini babengabakhe.

13 Labapristi lamaLevi ababekoIsrayeli wonke bazimisa kuye bevela kuyo yonke imingcele yabo.
Firistoci da Lawiyawa daga dukan yankuna ko’ina a Isra’ila suka haɗa kai da shi.
14 Ngoba amaLevi atshiya amadlelo awo lemfuyo yabo, aya koJuda leJerusalema, ngoba uJerobhowamu lamadodana akhe bawala ekusebenzeleni iNkosi njengabapristi;
Lawiyawa suka ma bar makiyayansu da mallakarsu, suka zo Yahuda da Urushalima domin Yerobowam da’ya’yansa maza sun ƙi su a matsayin firistocin Ubangiji.

Yerobowam ya naɗa firistocinsa domin masujadan kan tudu da kuma domin gumakan nan na akuya da maraƙin da ya yi.
16 Lemva kwawo kweza eJerusalema labo ababenikele inhliziyo yabo ukuyidinga iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, bevela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ukuyahlabela iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Waɗanda suke daga kowane kabilar Isra’ila waɗanda suka sa zuciya a kan neman Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka bi Lawiyawa zuwa Urushalima don su miƙa hadayu ga Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu.
17 Ngokunjalo bawuqinisa umbuso wakoJuda, benza uRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni waba lamandla iminyaka emithathu; ngoba bahamba endleleni kaDavida loSolomoni iminyaka emithathu.
Suka ƙarfafa mulkin Yahuda suka kuma goyi bayan Rehobowam ɗan Solomon shekaru uku, suna tafiya a hanyoyin Dawuda da Solomon a wannan lokaci.
18 URehobhowamu wasezithathela uMahalathi indodakazi kaJerimothi indodana kaDavida waba ngumkakhe, loAbihayili indodakazi kaEliyabi indodana kaJese,

21 URehobhowamu wasemthanda uMahaka indodakazi kaAbisalomu okwedlula bonke omkakhe labafazi bakhe abancinyane - ngoba wathatha abafazi abalitshumi lesificaminwembili, labafazi abancinyane abangamatshumi ayisithupha, wazala amadodana angamatshumi amabili lesificaminwembili lamadodakazi angamatshumi ayisithupha.

22 URehobhowamu wasebeka uAbhiya indodana kaMahaka waba yinhloko ukubusa phakathi kwabafowabo, ngoba kwakuyikumenza inkosi.
Rehobowam ya naɗa Abiya ɗan Ma’aka yă zama babba yerima a cikin’yan’uwansa, don dai yă naɗa shi sarki.
23 Wenza ngokuhlakanipha, wasabalalisa kuwo wonke amadodana akhe emazweni wonke akoJuda lakoBhenjamini, kuwo wonke umuzi obiyelweyo, wawanika ukudla ngobunengi, wadinga inengi labafazi.
