2 Mga Cronica 12
1 At nangyari, nang matatag ang kaharian ni Roboam at siya'y malakas, na kaniyang iniwan ang kautusan ng Panginoon, at ang buong Israel ay kasama niya.
Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
2 At nangyari nang ikalimang taon ng haring Roboam, na si Sisac na hari sa Egipto ay umahon laban sa Jerusalem, sapagka't sila'y nagsisalangsang laban sa Panginoon,
Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,
3 Na may isang libo at dalawang daang karo, at anim na pung libong mangangabayo. At ang bayan ay walang bilang na naparoong kasama niya mula sa Egipto; ang mga Lubim, ang mga Sukim, at ang mga taga Etiopia.
With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.
4 At sinupok niya ang mga bayang nakukutaan na nauukol sa Juda, at naparoon sa Jerusalem.
And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Si Semeias nga na propeta ay naparoon kay Roboam, at sa mga prinsipe ng Juda, na pagpipisan sa Jerusalem dahil kay Sisac, at nagsabi sa kanila, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Inyo akong pinabayaan, kaya't iniwan ko naman kayo sa kamay ni Sisac.
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.
6 Nang magkagayo'y ang mga prinsipe ng Israel at ang hari ay nagpakababa; at kanilang sinabi, Ang Panginoon ay matuwid.
Then the chiefs of Israel and the king made themselves low and said, The Lord is upright.
7 At nang makita ng Panginoon na sila'y nangagpakumbaba, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating kay Semeias, na sinasabi, Sila'y nangagpakumbaba; hindi ko gigibain sila: kundi aking bibigyan sila ng kaunting pagliligtas, at ang aking galit ay hindi mabubugso sa Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Sisac.
And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Gayon ma'y sila'y magiging kaniyang alipin; upang kanilang makilala ang paglilingkod sa akin, at ang paglilingkod sa mga kaharian ng mga lupain.
But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.
9 Sa gayo'y umahon si Sisac na hari sa Egipto laban sa Jerusalem, at dinala ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari; kaniyang kinuhang lahat: kaniyang kinuha pati ng mga kalasag na ginto na ginawa ni Salomon.
So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.
10 At ang haring Roboam ay gumawa ng mga kalasag na tanso na kahalili ng mga yaon, at ipinagkatiwala sa mga kamay ng mga punong kawal ng bantay, na nagsisipagingat ng pintuan ng bahay ng hari.
And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.
11 At nangyari, na kung gaanong kadalas pumapasok ang hari sa bahay ng Panginoon, ang bantay ay naparoroon at dinadala ang mga yaon, at ibinabalik sa silid ng bantay.
And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.
12 At nang siya'y magpakumbaba, ang galit ng Panginoon ay nahiwalay sa kaniya, na anopa't siya'y hindi lubos na pinatay: at bukod dito'y may nasumpungan sa Juda na mga mabuting bagay.
And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.
13 Sa gayo'y ang haring Roboam ay nagpakalakas sa Jerusalem at naghari: sapagka't si Roboam ay may apat na pu't isang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari, at siya'y nagharing labing pitong taon sa Jerusalem, na bayang pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat na lipi ng Israel, upang ilagay ang kaniyang pangalan doon: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Naama na Ammonita.
So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was ruling for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.
14 At siya'y gumawa ng masama, sapagka't hindi niya inilagak ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang Panginoon.
And he did evil because his heart was not true to the Lord.
15 Ang mga gawa nga ni Roboam, na una at huli, di ba nangasusulat sa kasaysayan ni Semeias na propeta at ni Iddo na tagakita, ayon sa ayos ng mga talaan ng lahi? At nagkaroong palagi ng mga digmaan si Roboam at si Jeroboam.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
16 At si Roboam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang at nalibing sa bayan ni David: at si Abias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.
