2 Seenaa 12
1 Rehooboʼaam erga mootii taʼee mootummaa isaa cimsatee booddee innii fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin jiraatan hundi seera Waaqayyoo eeguu didan.
And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, [that] he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 Sababii isaan Waaqayyoof amanamuu didaniif waggaa shanaffaa Rehooboʼaam mootii taʼetti Shiishaaq mootiin Gibxi Yerusaalemin waraane.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned 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 twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.
4 magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jajjabeeffamanii ijaaraman qabatee hamma Yerusaalemiitti ni dhufe.
And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
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.
And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.
6 Bulchitoonni Israaʼelii fi Rehooboʼaam mootichi gad of deebisanii, “Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha” jedhan.
And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord [is] righteous.
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 saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.
8 Taʼus isaan akka garaa garummaa ana tajaajiluu fi mootota biyya biraa tajaajiluu gidduu jiru beekaniif isaaf ni garboomu.”
Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings 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.
So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.
10 Kanaafuu Rehooboʼaam mootichi iddoo isaanii buusuuf jedhee gaachana naasii hojjetee ajajjuuwwan eegdota dabaree eegumsa balbala masaraa mootummaatti kenne.
And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.
11 Yeroo mootichi gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqu hunda eegdonni sun gaachana sana baachaa isa wajjin deemanii ergasii immoo kutaa eegdotaatti deebisu ture.
And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.
12 Sababii Rehooboʼaam gad of deebiseef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isa irraa ni deebiʼe; kanaafuu inni guutummaatti hin balleeffamne; dhugumaan Yihuudaa keessa haala gaariitu ture.
And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.
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 Roboam strengthened [himself] in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.
14 Inni sababii Waaqayyoon barbaaduuf garaa isaa hin qopheessiniif waan hamaa hojjete.
And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek 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.
And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.
16 Rehooboʼaam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Abiyaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all [his] days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.
