4 Wasethumba imizi ebiyelweyo eyayingeyakoJuda weza eJerusalema.
agĩtaha matũũra manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre ma Juda na agĩthiĩ nginya Jerusalemu.
5 UShemaya umprofethi wasefika kuRehobhowamu lezikhulu zakoJuda ezazibuthene eJerusalema ngenxa kaShishaki, wathi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lina lingilahlile, ngakho lami ngililahlele esandleni sikaShishaki.
Nake mũnabii Shemaia agĩũka kũrĩ Rehoboamu o na kũrĩ atongoria a Juda arĩa moonganĩte kũu Jerusalemu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra Shishaka, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩmũndiganĩirie; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o na niĩ ngũmũtiganĩria moko-inĩ ma Shishaka.’”
6 Iziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli kanye lenkosi basebezithoba bathi: INkosi ilungile.
Atongoria a Isiraeli hamwe na mũthamaki makĩĩnyiihia, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩ wa kĩhooto.”
7 INkosi isibona ukuthi bazithobile, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuShemaya lisithi: Bazithobile; kangiyikubabhubhisa, kodwa ngizabanika isilinganiso sokukhululwa, lolaka lwami kaluyikuthululelwa eJerusalema ngesandla sikaShishaki.
Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Shemaia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ: “Kuona atĩ nĩmenyiihĩtie-rĩ, ndikũmananga no nĩngũmahonokia o narua. Mangʼũrĩ makwa matigũitĩrĩrio Jerusalemu na kũhũthĩra guoko gwa Shishaka.
8 Kodwa bazakuba zinceku zakhe ukuze bazi inkonzo yami lenkonzo yemibuso yamazwe.
No rĩrĩ, megũtuĩka ndungata ciake, nĩgeetha mamenye ũtiganu wa kũndungatĩra na gũtungatĩra athamaki a mabũrũri ma kũngĩ.”
9 Ngakho uShishaki inkosi yeGibhithe wenyukela eJerusalema, wathatha okuligugu kwendlu kaJehova lokuligugu kwendlu yenkosi, wathatha konke; wathatha lezihlangu zegolide uSolomoni ayezenzile.
Rĩrĩa Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri aatharĩkĩire Jerusalemu-rĩ, agĩkuua igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Aakuuire indo ciothe, o hamwe na ngo cia thahabu iria Solomoni aathondekithĩtie.
10 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasisenza izihlangu zethusi endaweni yazo, yazinikela ngaphansi kwesandla senduna zabalindi ababegcina umnyango wendlu yenkosi.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩthondeka ngo cia gĩcango handũ ha icio cia mbere, agĩcinengera anene a arangĩri arĩa maaikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
11 Kwasekusithi lapho inkosi ingena endlini kaJehova bafika abalindi bezithwele, bazibuyisela ekamelweni labalindi.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũthamaki aathiiaga hekarũ ya Jehova-rĩ, arangĩri acio maathiiaga hamwe nake makuuĩte ngo icio, na thuutha wa ũguo magacicookia nyũmba-inĩ ya arangĩri.
12 Isizithobile, ulaka lweNkosi lwaphenduka lwasuka kuyo ukuze ingayibhubhisi ngokuphelelelyo; futhi lakoJuda kwakulezinto ezinhle.
Tondũ Rehoboamu nĩenyiihirie, Jehova nĩamwehereirie marakara make, na ndaigana kũmũniina o biũ. Ti-itherũ nĩ kwarĩ na maũndũ mamwe mega kũu Juda.
13 Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasiziqinisa eJerusalema, yabusa. Ngoba uRehobhowamu wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa eJerusalema, umuzi iNkosi eyayiwukhethile phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ukubeka ibizo layo khona. Lebizo likanina lalinguNahama umAmonikazi.
Mũthamaki Rehoboamu nĩehaandire wega kũu Jerusalemu na agĩthiĩ o na mbere arĩ mũthamaki. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa Jehova aathuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kuo. Nyina etagwo Naama, na aarĩ Mũamoni.
14 Wasesenza okubi ngoba engalungisanga inhliziyo yakhe ukudinga iNkosi.
Nĩekire maũndũ mooru tondũ ndaatuĩte na ngoro yake kũrongooria Jehova.
15 Lendaba zikaRehobhowamu, ezokuqala lezokucina, kazibhalwanga yini ezindabeni zikaShemaya umprofethi lezikaIdo umboni mayelana lemibhalo yosendo, lezimpi zikaRehobhowamu loJerobhowamu zonke izinsuku?
Na ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Rehoboamu kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma Shemaia ũrĩa mũnabii, na ma Ido ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ marĩa maarĩtie ũhoro wa njiarwa? Gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu.
16 URehobhowamu waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa emzini kaDavida. UAbhiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Rehoboamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo o kũu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Abija agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
