1 Mushure mokunge chinzvimbo chaRehobhoamu samambo chasimbiswa, uye paakanga asimba, iye neIsraeri yose pamwe chete vakasiya murayiro waJehovha.
After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.
2 Nokuti vakanga vasina kutendeka kuna Jehovha, Shishaki mambo weIjipiti akarwisa Jerusarema mugore rechishanu ramambo Rehobhoamu.
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem
3 Nengoro chiuru namazana maviri navatasvi vamabhiza zviuru makumi matanhatu navarwi vokuRibhiya, Suki neEtiopia vakanga vasingaverengeki vaakauya navo kubva kuIjipiti,
with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
4 akakunda maguta enhare eJudha kusvika kuJerusarema.
He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Ipapo muprofita Shemaya akauya kuna Rehobhoamu nokuvatungamiri veJudha vakanga vaungana muJerusarema vachitya Shishaki, akati kwavari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Makandirasa; naizvozvo zvino ndava kukurasirai kuna Shishaki.’”
Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You have forsaken Me; therefore, I have forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.’”
6 Vatungamiri veIsraeri namambo vakazvininipisa vakati, “Jehovha akarurama.”
So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”
7 Jehovha paakaona kuti vazvininipisa, shoko iri raJehovha rakauya kuna Shemaya richiti, “Nokuda kwokuti vazvininipisa, handichavaparadzi asi munguva pfupi ndichavadzikinura. Kutsamwa kwangu hakuchadururirwa paJerusarema kubudikidza naShishaki.
When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but will soon grant them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
8 Zvisinei hazvo, vachava pasi pake kuti vadzidze mutsauko uri pakati pokundishumira nokushumira madzimambo edzimwe nyika.”
Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9 Shishaki mambo weIjipiti paakarwisa Jerusarema akatakura pfuma yomutemberi yaJehovha nepfuma yomumuzinda wamambo. Akatora zvose kusanganisira nhoo dzegoridhe dzakanga dzagadzirwa naSoromoni.
So King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
10 Saka Mambo Rehobhoamu akagadzira nhoo dzendarira kutsiva idzo dzakanga dzatorwa akadzipa vakuru vavarindi vaiva pabasa pamukova wokupinda mumuzinda woumambo.
Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
11 Pose paienda mambo kutemberi yaJehovha, varindi vaienda naye, vakabata nhoo idzi uye vapedza vaizodzidzorera kuimba yavarindi.
And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
12 Nokuti Rehobhoamu akazvininipisa kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakabva kwaari, uye haana kuparadzwa zvachose. Zvirokwazvo makava nezvimwe zvakanaka muJudha.
Because Rehoboam humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, and He did not destroy him completely. Indeed, conditions were good in Judah.
13 Mambo Rehobhoamu akazvisimbisa kwazvo muJerusarema akaramba ari mambo. Akanga ane makore makumi mana nerimwe chete paakava mambo uye akatonga kwamakore gumi namanomwe muJerusarema, guta raJehovha raakanga azvisarudzira pamarudzi ose eIsraeri kuti aise Zita rake. Zita ramai vake rainzi Naama; vaiva muAmoni.
Thus King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
14 Akaita zvakaipa nokuti akanga asina kuisa mwoyo wake pakutsvaga Jehovha.
And Rehoboam did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Mabasa okutonga kwaRehobhoamu kubva kutanga kwake kusvikira kwokupedzisira, haana kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo raShemaya muprofita neraIdho muoni? Paiva nokurwisana nguva dzose pakati paRehobhoamu naJerobhoamu.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the Prophet and of Iddo the Seer concerning the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
16 Rehobhoamu akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi. Uye Abhija mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Abijah reigned in his place.
