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.
It happened, 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 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,
It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
4 At sinupok niya ang mga bayang nakukutaan na nauukol sa Juda, at naparoon sa Jerusalem.
He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to 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.
And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand 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 leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "The LORD is righteous."
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.
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 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.
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
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 the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold 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.
King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept 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.
It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard 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.
When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
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 strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-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 At siya'y gumawa ng masama, sapagka't hindi niya inilagak ang kaniyang puso na hanapin ang Panginoon.
He did that which was evil, because he did not set his heart to seek 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, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
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 slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.
