2 Nyakati 12
1 Baada ya nafasi ya Rehoboamu kuimarika na kuwa na nguvu, yeye na Israeli yote waliiacha sheria ya Bwana Mungu.
And it was when established [the] kingdom of Rehoboam and according to strengthening his he forsook [the] law of Yahweh and all Israel with him.
2 Kwa sababu hawakuwa waaminifu kwa Bwana, Shishaki mfalme wa Misri akashambulia Yerusalemu katika mwaka wa tano wa utawala wa Mfalme Rehoboamu.
And it was in the year fifth of the king Rehoboam he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem for they had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
3 Akiwa na magari ya vita 1,200 na wapanda farasi 60,000 na idadi isiyohesabika ya majeshi ya Walibia, Wasukii na Wakushi yaliyokuja pamoja naye kutoka Misri.
With one thousand and two hundred chariot[s] and with sixty thousand horsemen and not number [belonged] to the people which they came with him from Egypt Libyans Sukkites and Cushites.
4 Akateka miji ya Yuda yenye ngome akaendelea mpaka Yerusalemu.
And he captured [the] cities of fortifications which [belonged] to Judah and he came to Jerusalem.
5 Ndipo nabii Shemaya akaja kwa Rehoboamu na kwa viongozi wa Yuda waliokuwa wamekusanyika huko Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya hofu ya Shishaki naye akawaambia, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, ‘Ninyi mmeniacha mimi, kwa hiyo, mimi nami sasa ninawaacha ninyi mkononi mwa Shishaki.’”
And Shemaiah the prophet he came to Rehoboam and [the] leaders of Judah who they had gathered to Jerusalem because of Shishak and he said to them thus he says Yahweh you you have abandoned me and also I I have abandoned you in [the] hand of Shishak.
6 Viongozi wa Israeli na mfalme wakajinyenyekeza na kusema, “Bwana Mungu ni mwenye haki.”
And they humbled themselves [the] leaders of Israel and the king and they said [is] righteous - Yahweh.
7 Bwana Mungu alipoona kwamba wamejinyenyekeza, neno hili la Bwana likamjia Shemaya: “Maadamu wamejinyenyekeza, sitawaangamiza bali hivi karibuni nitawapatia wokovu. Ghadhabu yangu haitamwagwa juu ya Yerusalemu kwa kupitia Shishaki.
And when saw Yahweh that they had humbled themselves it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah - saying they have humbled themselves not I will destroy them and I will give to them like a little deliverance and not it will pour forth rage my on Jerusalem by [the] hand of Shishak.
8 Hata hivyo, watamtumikia Shishaki ili wapate kujifunza tofauti kati ya kunitumikia mimi na kuwatumikia wafalme wa nchi nyingine.”
For they will become of him subjects so they may know service my and [the] service of [the] kingdoms of the lands.
9 Shishaki mfalme wa Misri alipoishambulia Yerusalemu, alichukua hazina za Hekalu la Bwana na hazina za jumba la kifalme. Akachukua kila kitu, pamoja na zile ngao za dhahabu ambazo Solomoni alikuwa amezitengeneza.
And he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem and he took [the] treasures of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of [the] house of the king everything he took and he took [the] shields of gold which he had made Solomon.
10 Kwa hiyo Mfalme Rehoboamu akatengeneza ngao za shaba badala ya zile za dhahabu na kuzikabidhi kwa majemadari wa ulinzi wa zamu kwenye ingilio la jumba la mfalme.
And he made the king Rehoboam in place of them shields of bronze and he entrusted [them] on [the] hand of [the] commanders of the runners who guarded [the] entrance of [the] house of the king.
11 Kila wakati mfalme alipokwenda katika Hekalu la Bwana walinzi walikwenda pamoja naye wakiwa wamebeba hizo ngao na baadaye walizirudisha kwenye chumba cha ulinzi.
And it was as often as came the king [the] house of Yahweh they came the runners and they carried them and they returned them to [the] guardroom of the runners.
12 Kwa sababu Rehoboamu alijinyenyekeza, hasira ya Bwana ikageukia mbali naye, hakuangamizwa kabisa. Kukawa na hali nzuri katika Yuda.
And when he humbled himself it turned back from him [the] anger of Yahweh and not to destroy to complete destruction and also in Judah it was things good.
13 Mfalme Rehoboamu akajiweka imara katika Yerusalemu na akaendelea kuwa mfalme. Alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini na mmoja alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka kumi na saba, mji ambao Bwana alikuwa ameuchagua miongoni mwa makabila yote ya Israeli ili aliweke Jina lake humo. Mama yake aliitwa Naama, alikuwa Mwamoni.
And he strengthened himself the king Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he reigned for [was] a son of forty and one year[s] Rehoboam when became king he and seven-teen year[s] - he reigned in Jerusalem the city where he had chosen Yahweh to put name his there from all [the] tribes of Israel and [the] name of mother his [was] Naamah the Ammonite [woman].
14 Rehoboamu akatenda maovu kwa sababu hakuuelekeza moyo wake katika kumtafuta Bwana Mungu.
And he did evil for not he had directed heart his to seek Yahweh.
15 Kwa habari ya matukio katika utawala wa Rehoboamu, tangu mwanzo mpaka mwisho, je, hayakuandikwa katika kumbukumbu za nabii Shemaya na mwonaji Ido zinazohusiana na vizazi? Kulikuwako na vita mara kwa mara kati ya Rehoboamu na Yeroboamu.
And [the] matters of Rehoboam former and latter ¿ not [are] they written in [the] words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer for genealogical enrollment and [the] wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [were] all the days.
16 Rehoboamu akalala na baba zake, akazikwa katika Mji wa Daudi. Naye Abiya mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
And he lay down Rehoboam with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David and he became king Abijah son his in place of him.
