1 Mootota 12
1 Rehooboʼaamis sababii Israaʼeloonni hundinuu mootii isa gochuudhaaf achi yaaʼaniif kaʼee Sheekem dhaqe.
And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all Israel has come to Shechem to make him king.
2 Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat yommuu oduu kana dhagaʼetti deebiʼee dhufe; inni yeroo sanatti Solomoon Mooticha jalaa baqatee Gibxi jiraachaa tureetii.
And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat’s hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he has fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwells in Egypt),
3 Kanaafuu Yerobiʼaamitti nama erganii waamanii, innii fi waldaan Israaʼel guutuun gara Rehooboʼaam dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin:
that they send and call for him; and they come—Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel—and speak to Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Abbaan kee waanjoo ulfaatu nurra kaaʼee ture; ati immoo amma hojii inni humnaan nu hojjechiise sanaa fi waanjoo ulfaataa inni nurra kaaʼe sana nuuf salphisi; nus si tajaajillaa.”
“Your father hardened our yoke, and you, now, lighten [some] of the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
5 Rehooboʼaam immoo deebisee, “Bultii sadiif deemaatii ergasii deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu namoonni sun baʼanii deeman.
And he says to them, “Yet go [for] three days, and come back to me”; and the people go.
6 Ergasiis Rehooboʼaam Mootichi maanguddoota bara jireenya isaa keessa abbaa isaa Solomoonin tajaajilaniin mariʼate. Innis, “Isin akka ani namoota kanaaf maal deebisu na gorsitu?” jedhee gaafate.
And King Rehoboam consults with the elderly who have been standing in the presence of his father Solomon, in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer this people?”
7 Isaanis, “Yoo ati harʼa tajaajilaa saba kanaaf taatee isaan tajaajiltee deebii gaarii kenniteef, isaan yeroo hunda tajaajiltoota kee ni taʼu” jedhanii deebisaniif.
And they speak to him, saying, “If, today, you are a servant of this people, and have served them, and answered them, and spoken good words to them, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
8 Rehooboʼaam garuu gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif didee dargaggoota isa wajjin guddatan kanneen isa tajaajilan wajjin mariʼate.
And he forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;
9 Innis, “Gorsi keessan maal? Namoota, ‘Waanjoo abbaan kee nurra kaaʼe kana nuuf salphisi’ naan jedhan kanaaf akkamitti haa deebisnu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
and he says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
10 Dargaggoonni isa wajjin guddatan sunis akkana jedhanii deebisaniif; “Namoonni kunneen, ‘Abbaan kee waanjoo ulfaataa nurra kaaʼe; ati garuu waanjoo keenya nuu salphisi’ siin jedhan; ati amma akkana jedhiin; ‘Qubni koo xinnaan mudhii abbaa kootii irra furdaa dha.
And they speak to him—the boys who had grown up with him—saying, “Thus you say to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make [it] light on us; thus you speak to them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;
11 Abbaan koo waanjoo ulfaataa isin irra kaaʼe; ani immoo hammas caalaa iyyuu isinittan ulfaachisa. Abbaan koo qacceedhaan isin garafe; ani immoo torbaanqabaadhaanan isin garafa.’”
and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions.”
12 Bultii sadii booddee Yerobiʼaamii fi namoonni hundi akkuma mootichi, “Guyyaa sadii keessatti deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedhe sana gara Rehooboʼaamitti deebiʼan.
And they come—Jeroboam and all the people—to Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, “Come back to me on the third day.”
13 Mootichi immoo afaan hamaadhaan namoota sanaaf deebii kenne. Gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif sana didee
And the king answers the people sharply, and forsakes the counsel of the elderly which they counseled him,
14 gorsa dargaggootaa fudhatee, “Abbaan koo waanjoo keessan isinitti ulfaachise; ani immoo hammas iyyuu caalaa isinittan ulfaachisa. Abbaan koo qacceedhaan isin garafe; ani immoo torbaanqabaadhaanan isin garafa” jedhe.
and speaks to them, according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I discipline you with scorpions”;
15 Kanaafuu mootichi namoota sana hin dhaggeeffanne; wanni kun akka dubbiin Waaqayyo karaa Ahiiyaa namicha biyya Shiiloo sanaatiin Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaatitti dubbate sun raawwatamuuf Waaqayyo biraa dhufeetii.
and the king did not listen to the people, for the revolution was from YHWH, in order to establish His word that YHWH spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 Israaʼel hundi yommuu akka mootichi isaan dhaggeeffachuu dide arganitti akkana jedhanii mootichaaf deebii kennan: “Nu Daawit irraa qooda maalii qabna? Ilma Isseey irraas maal qabna? Yaa Israaʼel gara dunkaana keetii! Yaa Daawit mana kee eeggadhu!” Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni gara mana ofii isaaniitti deebiʼan.
And all Israel sees that the king has not listened to them, and the people send the king back word, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; [return] to your tents, O Israel; now see your house, O David!” And Israel goes to its tents.
17 Israaʼeloota magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan garuu Rehooboʼaamtu bulchaa ture.
As for the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
18 Rehooboʼaam Mootichis, Adooraam itti gaafatamaa hojjettoota hojii humnaa ni erge; Israaʼel hundi immoo dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ajjeese. Rehooboʼaam Mootichi garuu ariitiidhaan gaarii ofii isaa yaabbatee jalaa miliqee Yerusaalemitti baqate.
And King Rehoboam sends Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel casts stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
19 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti mana Daawititti fincilaniiru.
and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
20 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu akka Yerobiʼaam deebiʼe dhageenyaan nama itti erganii gara waldaatti isa waamanii Israaʼel hunda irratti mootii isa godhan. Gosa Yihuudaa qofatu mana Daawitiif amanamaa taʼee hafe.
And it comes to pass, at all Israel hearing that Jeroboam has returned, that they send and call him to the congregation, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none has been after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.
21 Rehooboʼaam yommuu Yerusaalem gaʼetti akka isaan Israaʼelitti duulanii Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomooniif mootummaa deebisaniif jedhee mana Yihuudaa hundaa fi gosa Beniyaam keessaa namoota loluu dandaʼan kuma dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettama walitti qabe.
And Rehoboam comes to Jerusalem, and assembles all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
22 Garuu dubbiin Waaqaa kun akkana jedhee gara nama Waaqaa, gara Shemaaʼiyaa ni dhufe;
And the word of God is to Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
23 “Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomoon mooticha Yihuudaatiin, Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam hundaan, saba hafeenis akkana jedhi;
“Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,
24 ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; obboloota keessan Israaʼeloota loluudhaaf jettanii ol hin baʼinaa. Sababii wanni kun ana biraa dhufeef tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana keessaniitti galaa.’” Kanaafuu isaan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼanii akkuma Waaqayyo ajaje sanatti mana ofii isaaniitti dachaʼan.
Thus said YHWH: You do not go up nor fight with your brothers the sons of Israel; let each return to his house, for this thing has been from Me”; and they hear the word of YHWH, and turn back to go according to the word of YHWH.
25 Yerobiʼaamis ergasii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti Sheekemin jabeessee ijaaree achi jiraate. Achiis baʼee Phenuuʼeelin ijaare.
And Jeroboam builds Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwells in it, and goes out there, and builds Penuel;
26 Yerobiʼaam akkana jedhee garaa isaatti yaade; “Amma mootummaan mana Daawitiif ni deebiʼa.
and Jeroboam says in his heart, “Now the kingdom turns back to the house of David—
27 Namoonni kunneen yoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem jiru sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf ol baʼan amma illee gara gooftaa isaanii Rehooboʼaam mooticha Yihuudaatti garagalu. Isaan na ajjeesanii gara Rehooboʼaam Mootichaatti deebiʼu.”
if this people goes up to make sacrifices in the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, then the heart of this people has turned back to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
28 Kanaafuu mootichi mariʼatee jabbiiwwan lama warqee irraa tolche. Namoota sanaanis, “Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuun akka malee isinitti ulfaata. Yaa Israaʼel waaqonni keessan kanneen Gibxii baasanii isin fidan kunoo ti” jedhe.
And the king takes counsel, and makes two calves of gold, and says to them, “Enough of you from going up to Jerusalem; behold, your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
29 Innis jabbii tokko Beetʼeel keessa, kaan immoo Daan keessa dhaabe.
And he sets the one in Beth-El, and the other he has put in Dan,
30 Wanni kunis cubbuu itti taʼe; namoonnis jabbii achi jiru sana waaqeffachuuf hamma Daanitti deeman.
and this thing becomes a sin, and the people go before the one—to Dan.
31 Yerobiʼaamis gaara irratti iddoo sagadaa ijaaree saboota Lewwota hin taʼin keessaa luboota muude.
And he makes the house of high places, and makes priests from the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
32 Innis bultii kudha shanaffaa jiʼa saddeettaffaa keessa ayyaana akkuma ayyaana Yihuudaa keessatti ayyaaneffame sanaa tokko hundeessee iddoo aarsaa irratti qalma dhiʼeesse. Kanas fakkiiwwan jabbii kanneen tolchee ture sanaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuudhaan Beetʼeelitti hojjete. Akkasumas Beetʼeelitti iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irratti ijaaree ture sanatti luboota ramade.
and Jeroboam makes a festival in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offers on the altar—so he did in Beth-El—to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he has appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.
33 Innis bultii kudha shanaffaa jiʼa saddeettaffaatti jiʼuma ofii filate keessa gara iddoo aarsaa kan Beetʼeelitti ijaare sanaatti ol baʼe. Saba Israaʼeliifis guyyaa ayyaanaa hundeessee ixaana aarsuuf gara iddoo aarsaatti ol baʼe.
And he offers up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised from his own heart, and he makes a festival for the sons of Israel, and offers on the altar—to make incense.
