2 Makoronike 12

1 Mushure mokunge chinzvimbo chaRehobhoamu samambo chasimbiswa, uye paakanga asimba, iye neIsraeri yose pamwe chete vakasiya murayiro waJehovha.

And it came to pass, 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 Nokuti vakanga vasina kutendeka kuna Jehovha, Shishaki mambo weIjipiti akarwisa Jerusarema mugore rechishanu ramambo Rehobhoamu.

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had dealt treacherously with the LORD,

3 Nengoro chiuru namazana maviri navatasvi vamabhiza zviuru makumi matanhatu navarwi vokuRibhiya, Suki neEtiopia vakanga vasingaverengeki vaakauya navo kubva kuIjipiti,

with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

4 akakunda maguta enhare eJudha kusvika kuJerusarema.

And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto 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.’”

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD: Ye have forsaken Me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'

6 Vatungamiri veIsraeri namambo vakazvininipisa vakati, “Jehovha akarurama.”

Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they 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.

And 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 upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Zvisinei hazvo, vachava pasi pake kuti vadzidze mutsauko uri pakati pokundishumira nokushumira madzimambo edzimwe nyika.”

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.'

9 Shishaki mambo weIjipiti paakarwisa Jerusarema akatakura pfuma yomutemberi yaJehovha nepfuma yomumuzinda wamambo. Akatora zvose kusanganisira nhoo dzegoridhe dzakanga dzagadzirwa naSoromoni.

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 all away; he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 Saka Mambo Rehobhoamu akagadzira nhoo dzendarira kutsiva idzo dzakanga dzatorwa akadzipa vakuru vavarindi vaiva pabasa pamukova wokupinda mumuzinda woumambo.

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king's house.

11 Pose paienda mambo kutemberi yaJehovha, varindi vaienda naye, vakabata nhoo idzi uye vapedza vaizodzidzorera kuimba yavarindi.

And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.

12 Nokuti Rehobhoamu akazvininipisa kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakabva kwaari, uye haana kuparadzwa zvachose. Zvirokwazvo makava nezvimwe zvakanaka muJudha.

And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned from him, that He would not destroy him altogether; and moreover in Judah there were good things found.

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.

So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty and 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 Akaita zvakaipa nokuti akanga asina kuisa mwoyo wake pakutsvaga Jehovha.

And he did that which was evil, because he set not 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, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 Rehobhoamu akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi. Uye Abhija mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
