2 Nyakati 10
1 Rehoboamu akaenda Shekemu, kwa maana Isaraeli wote walikuwa wanakauja Shekemu kwa ajili ya kumfanya yeye mfalme.
And he went Rehoboam Shechem towards for Shechem they had come all Israel to make king him.
2 Ikatokea kwamba Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati akasikia haya (kwa maana alikuwa katika Misiri, ambako alikuw amekimbilia kutoka kwenye uwepo wa Mfalme Selemanai, lakini Yeroboamu akarudi kutoka Misiri).
And it was when heard Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and he [was] in Egypt where he had fled from before Solomon the king and he returned Jeroboam from Egypt.
3 Kwa hiyo wakatuma na kumuita yeye, na Yeroboamu na Israeli wote wakaja; wakamwambia Rehoboamu na kusema,
And people sent and they summoned him and he came Jeroboam and all Israel and they spoke to Rehoboam saying.
4 “Baba yako aliifanya nira yetu ngumu. Kwa hiyo sasa, ifanye kazi ngumu ya baba yako kuwa rahisi, na ifanye nyepesi nira yako ambayo baba yako aliiweka juu yetu, na sisi tutakutumikia wewe.”
Father your he made hard yoke our and therefore lighten some of [the] labor of father your hard and some of yoke his heavy which he put on us and we will serve you.
5 Rehoboamu akawaambia, “Njoni kwangu tena baada ya siku tatu.” Kwa hiyo watu wakaondoka.
And he said to them again three days and return to me and it went the people.
6 Mfalme Rehoboamu akaomba ushauri kwa wazee ambao walikuwa wamesimama mbele ya Selemani baba yake wakati alipokuwa hai; akasema, Mnanishauri niwape jibu gani watu hawa?”
And he consulted the king Rehoboam with the elders who they had been standing before Solomon father his when was he alive saying how? [are] you counseling to bring back to the people this word.
7 Wakasema kwake, Ikiwa wewe ni mwema kwa watu hawa na uwapendeze, na sema maneno mazuri kwao, basi siku zote watakuwa watumishi wako.”
And they spoke to him saying if you will become good to the people this and you will be favorable to them and you will speak to them words kind and they will be of you servants all the days.
8 Lakini Rehoboamu akapuuza ushauri wa wazee ambao walimpa, na akashauriana na wanauame vijana ambao walikuwa wa rika lake, ambao walisimama mbele yake.
And he abandoned [the] counsel of the elders which they had counseled him and he consulted with the youths who they had grown up with him who stood before him.
9 Akawaamabia, “Mnanipa ushauri gani, ili kwamba niwajibu watu waliozungumza kwangu na kusema, “Ifanye nyepesi nira yako ambayo baba yako aliiweka juu yetu'?”
And he said to them what? [are] you counseling and we may bring back word the people this who they have spoken to me saying lighten some of the yoke which he put father your on us.
10 Wanaume vijana mabaoa walikuwa rika la Yeroboamu wakasema kwake, wakisema, “Hivi ndivyo utakavyosema kwa watu waliokuambia kwamba baba yako Selemani aliifanya nira yao nzito, lakini kwamba lazima uifanye nyepesi. Hivi ndivyo utakavyosema kwao, 'Kidole changu kidogo ni kinene kuliko kiuno cha baba yangu.
And they spoke with him the youths who they had grown up with him saying thus you will say to the people which they have spoken to you saying father your he made heavy yoke our and you lighten from on us thus you will say to them little finger my it is thick more than [the] loins of father my.
11 Kwa hiyo sasa, ingawa babab yangu aliwatwika nira nzito, nitaiongeza nira yenu. Baba yangu aliwaadhibu kwa mijeredi, lakini nitawaadhibu kwa nge.”
And therefore father my he loaded on you a yoke heavy and I I will add to yoke your father my he disciplined you with whips and I with scorpions.
12 Kwa hiyo Yeroboamu na watu wote wakaja kwa Rehoboamu katika siku ya tatu, kama aliavyosema mfalme, “Rudini kwangu katika siku ya tatu,”
And he came Jeroboam and all the people to Rehoboam on the day third just as he had spoken the king saying return to me on the day third.
13 Yeroboamu akasema kwa kwao kwa ukatili, akiupuuza aushauri wa wazee.
And he answered them the king hard and he abandoned the king Rehoboam [the] counsel of the elders.
14 Akasema kwao akiufuata ushauri wa wanaume vijana, akisema, “Baba yangu aliifanya nira yenu nzito, lakini mimi nitaiongeza. Baba yangu aliwaadhibu kwa mijeredi, lakini mimi nitawaadhibu kwa nge.”
And he spoke to them according to [the] counsel of the young men saying I will make heavy yoke your and I I will add to it father my he disciplined you with whips and I with scorpions.
15 Kwa hiyo mfalme hakuwasikiliza watu, kwa kuwa lilikuw tukio lililoletwa na Mungu, kwamba Yahwe aweze kulitimiza neno lake ambalo Ahiya Mshiloni alikuwa amemwambia Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.
And not he listened the king to the people for it was a turn from with God so as to establish Yahweh word his which he had spoken by [the] hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat.
16 Israeli wote, walipoona kwamba mfalme hakuwasikiliza, watu wakamjibu na kusema, “Tunasehemu gani katika Daudi? Hatuna urith katika wana wa Yese! Kila mmoja wenu anapaswa kwenda katika hema yake, Israeli. Sasa kila mtu aone nyumba yake, Daudi.” Kwa hiyo Israeli wote wakarudi kwenye hema zao.
And all Israel that not he had listened the king to them and they brought back the people the king - saying what? [belongs] to us portion in David and not an inheritance in [the] son of Jesse everyone to tents your O Israel now consider own house your O David and it went all Israel to tents its.
17 Lakini kwa watu wa Yuda walioishi katika miji ya Yuda, Yeroboamu akatawala juu yao.
And [the] people of Israel who were dwelling in [the] cities of Judah and he reigned over them Rehoboam.
18 Kisha mfalme Rehoboamu akamtuma Adoramu, ambaye alikuwa msimamizi wa wafanya kazi, lakini watu wa Israeli walimuua kwa kumpiga mawe. Mfalame Rehoboamu akaingia haraka ndani ya gari lake kwenda Yerusalemu.
And he sent the king Rehoboam Hadoram who [was] over the forced labor and they stoned him [the] people of Israel stone[s] and he died and the king Rehoboam he proved himself strong to go up in the chariot to flee Jerusalem.
19 Kwa hiyo Israeli wakawa waasi dhidi ya nyumba ya Mungu hadi leo.
And they have rebelled Israel against [the] house of David until the day this.
