1 Mootota 12
1 Rehooboʼaamis sababii Israaʼeloonni hundinuu mootii isa gochuudhaaf achi yaaʼaniif kaʼee Sheekem dhaqe.
URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayefike eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
2 Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat yommuu oduu kana dhagaʼetti deebiʼee dhufe; inni yeroo sanatti Solomoon Mooticha jalaa baqatee Gibxi jiraachaa tureetii.
Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, owayelokhu eseGibhithe, ekuzwa lokhu (ngoba wayebaleke esuka phambi kukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wahlala eGibhithe),
3 Kanaafuu Yerobiʼaamitti nama erganii waamanii, innii fi waldaan Israaʼel guutuun gara Rehooboʼaam dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin:
bathuma bambiza. UJerobhowamu lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli basebesiza bakhuluma loRehobhowamu besithi:
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.”
Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke wena yenza kube lula umsebenzi olukhuni kayihlo, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
5 Rehooboʼaam immoo deebisee, “Bultii sadiif deemaatii ergasii deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu namoonni sun baʼanii deeman.
Wasesithi kibo: Hambani futhi okwensuku ezintathu, libe selibuya kimi. Basebehamba abantu.
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.
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa njani ukubuyisela impendulo kulababantu?
7 Isaanis, “Yoo ati harʼa tajaajilaa saba kanaaf taatee isaan tajaajiltee deebii gaarii kenniteef, isaan yeroo hunda tajaajiltoota kee ni taʼu” jedhanii deebisaniif.
Basebekhuluma kuyo besithi: Uba uzakuba yinceku yalababantu lamuhla ubasebenzele, ubaphendule, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, khona bezakuba zinceku zakho zonke izinsuku.
8 Rehooboʼaam garuu gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif didee dargaggoota isa wajjin guddatan kanneen isa tajaajilan wajjin mariʼate.
Kodwa wasitshiya iseluleko sabadala ababemeluleke ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayemi phambi kwakhe.
9 Innis, “Gorsi keessan maal? Namoota, ‘Waanjoo abbaan kee nurra kaaʼe kana nuuf salphisi’ naan jedhan kanaaf akkamitti haa deebisnu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
Wasesithi kuwo: Lipha seluleko bani ukuthi sibuyisele impendulo kulababantu abakhulume lami besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
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.
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.
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.’”
Uba-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, mina-ke ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
12 Bultii sadii booddee Yerobiʼaamii fi namoonni hundi akkuma mootichi, “Guyyaa sadii keessatti deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedhe sana gara Rehooboʼaamitti deebiʼan.
Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
13 Mootichi immoo afaan hamaadhaan namoota sanaaf deebii kenne. Gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif sana didee
Inkosi yasibaphendula abantu kalukhuni, yatshiya iseluleko sabadala ababeyeluleke ngaso.
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.
Yakhuluma kubo njengokweseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngizalijezisa ngabofezela.
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.
Ngalokho inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela eNkosini ukuze iqinise ilizwi layo, iNkosi eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
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.
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.
17 Israaʼeloota magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan garuu Rehooboʼaamtu bulchaa ture.
Mayelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
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.
Khona inkosi uRehobhowamu yathuma uAdoniramu owayephezu kwezibhalwa; uIsrayeli wonke wasemkhanda ngamatshe waze wafa. Ngakho inkosi uRehobhowamu yakhwela masinyane inqola yayo, ukubalekela eJerusalema.
19 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti mana Daawititti fincilaniiru.
Ngokunjalo uIsrayeli wayihlamukela indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
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.
Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli wonke esezwile ukuthi uJerobhowamu ubuyile, bathuma bambizela enhlanganweni, bamenza inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke; kakubanga khona olandela indlu kaDavida ngaphandle kwesizwe sakoJuda sodwa.
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.
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.
22 Garuu dubbiin Waaqaa kun akkana jedhee gara nama Waaqaa, gara Shemaaʼiyaa ni dhufe;
Kodwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lafika kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu lisithi:
23 “Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomoon mooticha Yihuudaatiin, Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam hundaan, saba hafeenis akkana jedhi;
Khuluma kuRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, inkosi yakoJuda, lakuyo yonke indlu yakoJuda leyakoBhenjamini, lensali yabantu, uthi:
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.
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.
25 Yerobiʼaamis ergasii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti Sheekemin jabeessee ijaaree achi jiraate. Achiis baʼee Phenuuʼeelin ijaare.
UJerobhowamu wasesakha iShekema entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wahlala kuyo; wasephuma lapho wakha iPenuweli.
26 Yerobiʼaam akkana jedhee garaa isaatti yaade; “Amma mootummaan mana Daawitiif ni deebiʼa.
UJerobhowamu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Khathesi umbuso uzabuyela endlini kaDavida.
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.”
Uba lesisizwe sisenyukela ukwenza imihlatshelo endlini yeNkosi eJerusalema, khona inhliziyo yalesisizwe izabuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda, njalo bazangibulala babuyele kuRehobhowamu inkosi yakoJuda.
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.
Ngakho inkosi yathatha icebo, yenza amathole amabili egolide, yathi kubo: Kunzima kakhulu kini ukwenyukela eJerusalema; khangela, onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula elizweni leGibhithe.
29 Innis jabbii tokko Beetʼeel keessa, kaan immoo Daan keessa dhaabe.
Wasemisa elinye eBhetheli, lelinye walifaka eDani.
30 Wanni kunis cubbuu itti taʼe; namoonnis jabbii achi jiru sana waaqeffachuuf hamma Daanitti deeman.
Loludaba lwaselusiba yisono; ngoba abantu baya phambi kwelinye kuze kube seDani ukuyakhonza.
31 Yerobiʼaamis gaara irratti iddoo sagadaa ijaaree saboota Lewwota hin taʼin keessaa luboota muude.
Wasesenza indlu yezindawo eziphakemeyo, wenza abapristi ngabaphansi kakhulu babantu, ababengeyisiwo bamadodana amaLevi.
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.
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.
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.
Wasenikela phezu kwelathi ayelenzile eBhetheli ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu enyangeni yesificaminwembili, enyangeni ayeyiqambile evela enhliziyweni yakhe. Wenzela abantwana bakoIsrayeli umkhosi, wanikela phezu kwelathi etshisa impepha.
