2 Seenaa 12

1 Rehooboʼaam erga mootii taʼee mootummaa isaa cimsatee booddee innii fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin jiraatan hundi seera Waaqayyoo eeguu didan.

And when Rehoboam had established the kingdome and made it strong, hee forsooke the Lawe of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 Sababii isaan Waaqayyoof amanamuu didaniif waggaa shanaffaa Rehooboʼaam mootii taʼetti Shiishaaq mootiin Gibxi Yerusaalemin waraane.

Therefore in the fift yeere of King Rehoboam, Shishak the King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem (because they had transgressed against the Lord)

3 Innis gaariiwwan kuma tokkoo fi dhibba lama, abbootii fardaa kuma jaatamaa fi loltoota Liibiyaa, kan Sukkiimiitii fi kan Itoophiyaa warra baayʼinni isaanii hin beekamne kanneen isa wajjin Gibxii dhufan fudhatee,

With twelue hundreth charets, and three score thousande horsemen, and the people were without nomber, that came with him from Egypt, euen the Lubims, Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

4 magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jajjabeeffamanii ijaaraman qabatee hamma Yerusaalemiitti ni dhufe.

And he tooke the strong cities which were of Iudah, and came vnto Ierusalem.

5 Ergasii Shemaaʼiyaan raajichi gara Rehooboʼaamii fi bulchitoota Yihuudaa kanneen Shiishaaq sodaatanii Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabamanii dhufee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Isin na dhiiftan; anis harka Shiishaaqitti isin kenneera’” jedhe.

Then came Shemaiah the Prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Iudah, that were gathered together in Hierusalem, because of Shishak, and sayde vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord, Ye haue forsaken me, therefore haue I also left you in the handes of Shishak.

6 Bulchitoonni Israaʼelii fi Rehooboʼaam mootichi gad of deebisanii, “Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha” jedhan.

Then the princes of Israel, and the King humbled themselues, and sayde, The Lord is iust.

7 Yommuu Waaqayyo akka isaan gad of deebisan argetti, dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Shemaaʼiyaa dhufe; “Waan isaan gad of deebisaniif, ani dafeen isaan fura malee isaan hin balleessu. Dheekkamsi koos karaa Shiishaaqiin Yerusaalemitti hin dhangalaasu.

And when the Lord sawe that they humbled themselues, the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They haue humbled theselues, therefore I will not destroy them, but I will sende them deliuerance shortly, and my wrath shall not bee powred out vpon Ierusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Taʼus isaan akka garaa garummaa ana tajaajiluu fi mootota biyya biraa tajaajiluu gidduu jiru beekaniif isaaf ni garboomu.”

Neuerthelesse they shalbe his sernants: so shall they knowe my seruice, and the seruice of the kingdomes of the earth.

9 Shiishaaq mootiin Gibxi yeroo Yerusaalem qabatetti qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi qabeenya masaraa mootummaa guurratee deeme. Gaachanawwan warqee kanneen Solomoon hojjete dabalatee waan guurratee gale.

Then Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusalem, and tooke the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house he tooke euen all, and hee caried away the shields of golde, which Salomon had made.

10 Kanaafuu Rehooboʼaam mootichi iddoo isaanii buusuuf jedhee gaachana naasii hojjetee ajajjuuwwan eegdota dabaree eegumsa balbala masaraa mootummaatti kenne.

In stead whereof King Rehoboam made shieldes of brasse, and committed them to the handes of the chiefe of the garde, that wayted at the doore of the Kings house.

11 Yeroo mootichi gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqu hunda eegdonni sun gaachana sana baachaa isa wajjin deemanii ergasii immoo kutaa eegdotaatti deebisu ture.

And when the King entred into the house of the Lord, the garde came and bare them and brought them againe vnto the garde chamber.

12 Sababii Rehooboʼaam gad of deebiseef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isa irraa ni deebiʼe; kanaafuu inni guutummaatti hin balleeffamne; dhugumaan Yihuudaa keessa haala gaariitu ture.

And because hee humbled himselfe, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that hee woulde not destroy all together. And also in Iudah the things prospered.

13 Rehooboʼaam mootichis Yerusaalem keessatti of cimsee mootii taʼee ni jiraate. Yeroo inni mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa afurtamii tokko ture. Innis waggaa kudha torba Yerusaalem magaalaa Waaqayyo Maqaa ofii isaa achi kaaʼachuuf jedhee gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa filate sana keessatti mootii taʼee bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Naʼamaa ture; isheenis gosa Amoon turte.

So King Rehoboam was strong in Ierusalem and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and fourtie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned seuenteene yeres in Ierusalem, the citie which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his Name there. And his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonitesse.

14 Inni sababii Waaqayyoon barbaaduuf garaa isaa hin qopheessiniif waan hamaa hojjete.

And he did euill: for hee prepared not his heart to seeke the Lord.

15 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Rehooboʼaam keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman galmee seenaa kan Shemaaʼiyaa raajichaa fi seenaa dhalootaa kan Iddoon namichi ilaalaan sun barreesse keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii? Rehooboʼaamii fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraana gargari hin cinnetu ture.

The actes also of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the booke of Shemaiah the Prophet, and Iddo the Seer, in rehearsing the genealogie? and there was warre alway betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam.

16 Rehooboʼaam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Abiyaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid, and Abiiah his sonne reigned in his stead.
