2 Seenaa 12
1 Rehooboʼaam erga mootii taʼee mootummaa isaa cimsatee booddee innii fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin jiraatan hundi seera Waaqayyoo eeguu didan.
It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was 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.
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen jajjabeeffamanii ijaaraman qabatee hamma Yerusaalemiitti ni dhufe.
He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, 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 Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'"
6 Bulchitoonni Israaʼelii fi Rehooboʼaam mootichi gad of deebisanii, “Waaqayyo qajeelaa dha” jedhan.
Then the leaders 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.
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on 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.”
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the 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.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also 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.
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept 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.
It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
12 Sababii Rehooboʼaam gad of deebiseef dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isa irraa ni deebiʼe; kanaafuu inni guutummaatti hin balleeffamne; dhugumaan Yihuudaa keessa haala gaariitu ture.
When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were 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.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years 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 Naamah the Ammonitess.
14 Inni sababii Waaqayyoon barbaaduuf garaa isaa hin qopheessiniif waan hamaa hojjete.
He did that which was evil, because he did not set 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.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
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 with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
