Boqorradii Kowaad 12
1 Markaasaa Rexabcaam wuxuu tegey Shekem, maxaa yeelay, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen Shekem inay isaga ku soo boqraan.
All [HYP] the people of [northern] Israel went to Shechem [city] in order to appoint Rehoboam to be their king. So Rehoboam also went there.
2 Oo markii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad taas maqlay ayaa Yaaraabcaam iyo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu u yimaadeen,
When Jeroboam, who was still in Egypt, heard about that, he returned from Egypt [to Israel].
3 (waayo, Yaaraabcaam wuxuu weli joogay dalkii Masar oo uu Boqor Sulaymaan kaga cararay, oo Yaaraabcaamna wuxuu iska joogay dalka Masar, laakiinse waa loo cid diray oo loo yeedhay; ) markaasay Rexabcaam la hadleen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen,
The [leaders of the northern tribes] summoned him, and they went together [to talk] to Rehoboam. They said to him,
4 War aabbahaa harqood daran buu na saaray; haddaba noo fududee hawshii aabbahaa oo adkayd iyo harqoodkiisii cuslaa oo uu na saaray, annana waannu kuu adeegaynaa.
“Your father [Solomon] forced us to work very hard [MET] for him. If you (lighten these loads/do not force us to work that hard), and if you charge us less taxes than we were paying to him, we will serve you [faithfully].”
5 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal intii saddex maalmood ah iga maqnaada, dabadeedna igu soo noqda. Markaasaa dadkii ka tegey.
He replied, “Go away, and come back three days from now [and I will give you my answer].” So those leaders and Jeroboam left.
6 Markaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam la tashaday odayaashii aabbihiis Sulaymaan intuu noolaa hor joogi jiray, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad igula talinaysaan oo aan dadkan jawaab ugu celiyaa?
Then King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had advised his father Solomon while he was still living. He asked them, “What shall I say to answer those men?”
7 Oo intay la hadleen ayay ku yidhaahdeen, Maanta haddaad doonayso inaad dadkan addoon u ahaatid oo aad u adeegtid, haddaba u jawaab oo waxaad kula hadashaa erayo wanaagsan, oo markaasay weligood addoommo kuu ahaanayaan.
They replied, “If you want to serve your people well, speak kindly to those men when you reply to them. If you do that, your people will always serve you faithfully.”
8 Laakiinse wuu ka tegey taladii odayaashu kula taliyeen, oo haddana wuxuu la arrinsaday raggii dhallinyarada ahaa oo isaga la koray ee hortiisa joogay.
But he ignored what the older men advised him to do. Instead, he consulted the younger men who had grown up with him, who were now (his advisors/the ones who told him what would be good to do).
9 Oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, War maxaad igula talinaysaan oo aan jawaab ugu celinnaa dadkan ila hadlay oo igu yidhi, War harqoodkii aabbahaa na saaray noo fududee?
He said to them, “What should I say to the men who are asking me to reduce the [work and taxes] that my father required from them?”
10 Markaasay raggii dhallintayaraa oo isaga la koray la hadleen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, La hadal dadkii kula hadlay oo kugu yidhi, Aabbahaa harqood daran buu na saaray ee adigu noo fududee. Oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Faryaradaydu waa ka sii dhumuc weyn tahay aabbahay dhexdiisa.
They replied, “This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
11 Haddaba meeshii aabbahay harqood culus idinka saaray, anna culays baan idiinku sii darayaa; oo aabbahay wuxuu idinku edbin jiray shaabuugyo, laakiinse anigu waxaan idinku edbinayaa hangarallayaal.
What I mean is that my father required you [to work hard and pay high taxes]. But I will make those loads heavier. [It was as though] my father whipped you, but [it will be as though] I will whip you with whips that have pieces of metal in them.’”
12 Sidaas daraaddeed Yaaraabcaam iyo dadkii oo dhammuba maalintii saddexaad ayay Rexabcaam u yimaadeen siduu boqorku hore ugu amray markuu ku yidhi, Maalinta saddexaad igu soo noqda.
So three days later, Jeroboam and all the leaders came to Rehoboam again, as he had told them to do.
13 Markaasaa boqorkii ka tegey taladii ragga odayaasha ahaa, oo dadkiina si qallafsan ayuu ugu jawaabay,
The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the Israeli leaders.
14 oo wuxuu kula hadlay taladii raggii dhallintayaraa, oo ku yidhi, Aabbahay harqood culus buu idin saaray, laakiinse anna culays kalaan idiinku sii darayaa; aabbahay wuxuu idinku edbin jiray shaabuugyo, laakiinse anigu waxaan idinku edbinayaa hangarallayaal.
[He told them what the younger men had advised.] He said, “My father put heavy burdens [of work and taxes] on you, but I will put heavier burdens on you. [It was as though] he beat you with whips, but I will beat you with whips that have pieces of metal in them!”
15 Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii dadkii ma uu dhegaysan; waayo, taasu waxay ahayd wax Rabbiga xaggiisa ka yimid, si uu u adkeeyo eraygiisii Rabbigu kula hadlay Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo uu ugu soo dhiibay Axiiyaah kii reer Shiiloh.
So the king did not pay any attention to the Israeli leaders. But this happened in order that what Yahweh wanted would occur, what he had told the prophet Ahijah about Jeroboam [becoming king of the ten tribes].
16 Oo dadkii Israa'iil oo dhammuna markay arkeen inaan boqorku dhegaysan ayaa dadkii waxay boqorkii ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Bal maxaan qayb ku leennahay Daa'uud? Dhaxalna kuma lihin ina Yesay. Haddaba dadkii Israa'iilow, teendhooyinkiinnii taga. Oo Daa'uudow, bal eeg, reerkaagii waa kuu kaas. Markaasay dadkii Israa'iil tageen teendhooyinkoodii.
When the Israeli leaders realized that the king did not pay any attention to what they said, they shouted, “We do not [RHQ] want anything to do with this descendant of King David! We will not pay attention to what this grandson of Jesse says! You people of Israel, let’s go home! As for this descendant of David [MTY], he can rule his own kingdom [MTY]!” So the Israeli leaders returned to their homes.
17 Laakiinse Rexabcaam wuxuu boqor u ahaa intii reer binu Israa'iil ahayd ee degganayd magaalooyinka reer Yahuudah.
And [after that, ] the [only Israeli] people whom Rehoboam ruled over were those who lived in the territory of [the tribe of] Judah.
18 Markaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam wuxuu diray Adoraam oo cashuurta u sarreeyey, oo dadkii Israa'iil oo dhammu dhagax bay la dhaceen, wuuna dhintay. Markaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam ku degdegay inuu fuulo gaadhifaraskiisii si uu Yeruusaalem ugu cararo.
Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram [to talk to the Israeli people]. Adoniram was the man who supervised [all the men who were] forced to work [for Rehoboam]. But the Israeli people killed him by throwing stones at him. When that happened, King Rehoboam quickly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.
19 Sidaasay dadkii Israa'iil ugu caasiyoobeen Daa'uud reerkiisii ilaa maantadan la joogo.
Ever since that time, the people of [the northern tribes of] Israel have been rebelling against the descendants [MTY] of [King] David.
20 Oo markii dadkii Israa'iil maqleen in Yaaraabcaam soo noqday ayay u cid direen oo shirkii ugu yeedheen, oo waxay ka dhigteen boqor u taliya dadkii Israa'iil oo dhan; oo reerkii Daa'uudna nin qudha ma raacin, qabiilkii reer Yahuudah mooyaane.
When the Israeli people heard that Jeroboam had returned [from Egypt], they invited him to come to a meeting, and there they appointed him to be the king of Israel. Only the people of the tribes of Judah [and Benjamin] continued to be loyal to [the kings descended from King] [MTY] David.
21 Oo Rexabcaamna markuu Yeruusaalem tegey wuxuu reer Yahuudah oo dhan iyo qabiilkii reer Benyaamiin ka soo shiriyey boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo rag la doortay oo dagaalyahan ahaa, si ay dadkii Israa'iil ula diriraan oo ay boqortooyadii mar kale ugu soo celiyaan Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan.
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he gathered 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes [MTY] of Judah and Benjamin. He wanted them to fight against the northern tribes of [MTY] Israel [and defeat them], in order that he could [rule all the tribes of] his kingdom again.
22 Laakiinse Shemacyaah oo nin Ilaah ahaa waxaa u yimid eraygii Ilaah oo leh,
But God spoke to the prophet Shemaiah and said this to him:
23 La hadal Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan oo reer Yahuudah boqorka u ah, iyo reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin, iyo dadka intiisa kale oo dhanba, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,
“Go and tell this to [Solomon’s son] Rehoboam, the king of Judah, and to all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and the people from the northern tribe who live in Judah:
24 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa inaydnaan kor u bixin oo aydnaan walaalihiin dadka Israa'iilna la diririn. Nin waluba gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waayo, waxanu aniguu iga yimid. Sidaas aawadeed way maqleen Eraygii Rabbiga, oo intay noqdeen ayay iska tageen sidii erayga Rabbigu ahaa.
‘Yahweh says that you must not go to fight against your own relatives, the people of Israel. All of you must go home. What has happened is what Yahweh wanted to happen.’” [So Shemaiah went and told that to them, ] and they all paid attention to what Yahweh had commanded them to do, and they went home.
25 Markaasaa Yaaraabcaam wuxuu dhisay Shekem oo ku taal dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, halkaasuuna iska degay, oo haddana halkaas wuu ka tegey oo wuxuu dhisay Fenuu'eel.
Then Jeroboam’s workers built [walls around] Shechem [city] in the hilly area [where the descendants] of Ephraim [lived], and he ruled from there for a while. He and his workers then left there and went to Peniel [town], and they built walls around that town.
26 Markaasaa Yaaraabcaam wuxuu qalbiga iska yidhi, Haddaba boqortooyadu waxay u noqon doontaa reerkii Daa'uud;
Then Jeroboam said to himself, “If my people [continue to] go to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices to Yahweh at the temple there, soon they will again become loyal to Rehoboam, the king of Judah [DOU], and they will kill me.”
27 oo haddii dadkanu Yeruusaalem tagaan inay Rabbiga allabaryo ugu bixiyaan, de markaas qalbigoodu wuxuu u noqon doonaa sayidkoodii, kaasoo ah Rexabcaam ee boqor u ah reer Yahuudah, oo markaasay i dili doonaan, waxayna u noqon doonaan Rexabcaam ee ah boqorka reer Yahuudah.
28 Markaasaa boqorkii tashaday, oo wuxuu sameeyey laba weylood oo dahab ah, oo wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Dadkii Israa'iilow, aad bay idiinku dhib badan tahay inaad Yeruusaalem tagtaan, haddaba bal eega ilaahyadiinnii idinka keenay dalkii Masar.
So he consulted [his advisors, and then he did what they suggested]. He [told his workers to] make gold [statues of] two calves. Then he said to the people, “You have been going to Jerusalem [to worship] for a long time. It is a big trouble for you to continue going there. You people of Israel, look! These statues are the gods that brought our [ancestors] up from Egypt! [So you can worship these, here!]”
29 Oo labadii weylood middood wuxuu dhigay Beytel, tii kalena wuxuu dhigay Daan.
He [told his workers to] place one of the statues in Bethel [city in the south] and one in Dan [city in the north].
30 Haddaba taasu waxay noqotay dembi, maxaa yeelay, dadkii waxay u tegi jireen inay middood caabudaan xataa ilaa Daan.
So [what Jeroboam did caused] the people [to] sin. Some of them went and worshiped the calf at Bethel, and others went and worshiped the other calf at Dan.
31 Oo wuxuu kaloo sameeyey guryo meelo sarsare ah, oo wuxuu wadaaddo ka dhex doortay dadkii aan reer Laawi ahayn oo dhan.
[Moses had declared that only men from the tribe of Levi would be priests, but] Jeroboam also told his workers to build shrines on hilltops, and then he appointed men who were not from the tribe of Levi to be priests.
32 Oo haddana Yaaraabcaam wuxuu sameeyey iid u eg tii reer Yahuudah oo ahayd bisha siddeedaad maalinteeda shan iyo tobnaad, oo wuxuu u baxay meeshii allabariga; sidaasuu Beytel ku sameeyey isagoo allabari u bixinaya weylihii uu sameeyey; oo wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare ee uu doortayna wuxuu geeyey Beytel.
He also appointed Adonijah and two priests, Elishama and Jehoram. They had a celebration at the end of October, like the celebration [of Living in Temporary Shelters] that occurred in Judah [each year]. On the altar [that they built] in Bethel, he offered sacrifices to the gold statues of calves that they had made, and he stationed the priests there at the shrines that his workers had built.
33 Oo meeshii allabariga ee uu Beytel ka sameeyeyna wuxuu u baxay bishii siddeedaad maalinteedii shan iyo tobnaad oo taasuna waxay ahayd bishii uu qalbigiisa ka tashaday; oo iid buu u sameeyey dadkii Israa'iil, oo meeshii allabariguu ugu baxay inuu foox shido.
Jeroboam went up to that altar on that day in October which he himself had chosen. There on that altar he burned incense [to be a sacrifice]. And he declared that the people should celebrate that festival [on that same day every year].
