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 Rehobo'am had established the kingdom, and when he had become strong, that he forsook the law 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 king Rehobo'am, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, —because they had acted faithlessly 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 horsemen: and innumerable were the people that came with him out of Egypt—the Lubim, the Sukkiyim, and the Ethiopians.
4 magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jajjabeeffamanii ijaaraman qabatee hamma Yerusaalemiitti ni dhufe.
And he captured the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and he came as far as 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 Shem'ayah the prophet came to Rehobo'am, and the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Ye have indeed forsaken me, and therefore have I also relinquished you into the hand of Shishak.
6 Bulchitoonni Israaʼelii fi Rehooboʼaam mootichi gad of deebisanii, “Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha” jedhan.
Thereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they 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 had humbled themselves, then came the word of the Lord to Shem'ayah, saying, “They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will permit some little to escape from them; and my wrath shall not be poured out over Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.”
8 Taʼus isaan akka garaa garummaa ana tajaajiluu fi mootota biyya biraa tajaajiluu gidduu jiru beekaniif isaaf ni garboomu.”
However they shall be servants unto him, and they shall know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
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.
And so came up Shishak the king of Egypt against Jerusalem, and he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house: every thing did he take away; and he took away the shields of gold 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 Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of copper, and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners, who kept guard at the door of the king's 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 it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, that the runners came and bore them, and carried them back into the apartment of the runners.
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 had humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so that he destroyed him not to make an end [of him]: and also in Judah were some good things [found].
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.
And king Rehobo'am strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehobo'am was one and forty years old when he became king, and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess.
14 Inni sababii Waaqayyoon barbaaduuf garaa isaa hin qopheessiniif waan hamaa hojjete.
And he did the evil; because 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 Rehobo'am, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Shem'ayah the prophet, and of 'Iddo, the seer concerning the genealogies. And the wars of Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am [lasted] all the days.
16 Rehooboʼaam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Abiyaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abiyah his son became king in his stead.
