2 Ɛberɛ a Nebat babarima Yeroboam tee sɛ Salomo awuo no, ɔfiri Misraim baeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɔdwane firii ɔhene Salomo nsam kɔtenaa Misraim.

3 Enti, Israel mpanimfoɔ soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yeroboam, na Israel nnipadɔm no nyinaa kɔɔ Rehoboam nkyɛn, ne no kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
Tsono anthu anayitanitsa Yeroboamu, ndipo iye pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la ku Israeli anapita kwa Rehobowamu ndipo anamuwuza kuti,
4 “Wʼagya hyɛɛ yɛn ma yɛyɛɛ adwumaden. Yɛsrɛ wo, te saa adwumaden ne apeatoɔ adesoa duruduru a wʼagya de soaa yɛn no so. Woyɛ saa a, yɛbɛsom wo nokorɛ mu.”
“Abambo anu anatisenzetsa goli lolemetsa kwambiri, koma inu chepetsani ntchito yowawa pa ife ndipo peputsani goli lolemetsa limene anatisenzetsa. Mukatero tidzakutumikirani.”
5 Rehoboam buaa sɛ, “Momma me nnansa na menwene mo asɛm yi ho. Ɛno akyi, mommra mmɛgye me mmuaeɛ.” Enti, nnipa no sane kɔeɛ.
Rehobowamu anayankha kuti, “Pitani, ndipo pakatha masiku atatu, mudzabwerenso.” Choncho anthuwo anapitadi.
6 Na ɔhene Rehoboam ne ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔsom nʼagya Salomo ɛberɛ a ɔte ase no tuu asɛm no ho agyina. Ɔbisaa mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Moka asɛm no ho ɛdeɛn? Mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa mma saa nnipa yi?”
Ndipo Mfumu Rehobowamu anapempha nzeru kwa akuluakulu amene ankatumikira Solomoni abambo ake pamene anali ndi moyo. Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mungandilangize zotani kuti ndiwayankhe anthu amenewa?”
7 Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Sɛ ɛnnɛ yi, wopɛ sɛ woyɛ ɔsomfoɔ ma saa nnipa yi, na woma wɔn mmuaeɛ pa a, ɛnneɛ, daa wɔbɛsom wo nokorɛ mu.”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ngati lero mudzakhala mtumiki wa anthu amenewa ndi kuwatumikira ndipo mukawayankha bwino, iwowo adzakhala atumiki anu nthawi zonse.”
8 Nanso Rehoboam amfa afotuo a mpanimfoɔ no tuu no no. Mmom, ɔkɔɔ nʼatipɛnfoɔ mmabunu bi a ɔne wɔn sii so a na wɔtu no fo no nkyɛn.
Koma Rehobowamu anakana malangizo amene akuluakuluwo anamupatsa ndipo anafunsira nzeru kwa anyamata anzake amene anakulira nawo limodzi omwe ankamutumikira.
9 Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo nso mo adwene ne sɛn? Mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa nkɔma nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ mete adesoa a mʼagya de soaa wɔn no so?”
Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi malangizo anu ngotani? Kodi ndiwayankhe chiyani anthu amene akunena kwa ine kuti, ‘Peputsani goli limene abambo anu anatisenzetsa’?”
10 Nʼatipɛnfoɔ mmabunu buaa no sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔnwiinwii no sɛ, ‘Me kɔkorɔbɛto mu pi sene mʼagya asene; sɛ modwene sɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo so dodo a, montwɛn na monhwɛ sɛdeɛ mɛyɛ.’
Anyamata anzake amene anakula nawo limodzi aja anamuyankha kuti, “Anthu amene ananena kwa iwe kuti, ‘Abambo anu anatisenzetsa goli lolemetsa, koma inu peputsani goli lathu,’ uwawuze kuti ‘Chala changa chakanise nʼchachikulu kupambana chiwuno cha abambo anga.
11 Aane, mʼagya yɛɛ den wɔ mo so, na mɛyɛ aboro saa. Mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me deɛ mede anyanyankyerɛ bɛkeka mo.”
Abambo anga ankakusenzetsani goli lolemetsa koma ine ndidzachititsa kuti likhale lolemera kwambiri. Abambo anga ankakukwapulani ndi zikoti wamba koma ine ndidzakukwapulani ndi zinkhanira.’”
12 Nnansa akyi, Yeroboam ne nnipa no nyinaa sane baa sɛ wɔrebɛtie Rehoboam mmuaeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔkaeɛ no.
Patapita masiku atatu, Yeroboamu pamodzi ndi anthu onse anabwera kwa Rehobowamu, monga momwe inanenera mfumu kuti, “Mudzabwere pakatha masiku atatu.”
13 Ɔhene no buaa nnipa no abufuo so. Wamfa mpanimfoɔ no afotuo no;
Mfumuyo inawayankha anthuwo mwankhanza. Kukana malangizo amene akuluakulu anayipatsa.
14 ɔfaa mmabunu no afotuo. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mʼagya yɛɛ den wɔ mo so, na mɛyɛ aboro saa. Mʼagya hwee mo mpire na me deɛ mede anyanyankyerɛ bɛkeka mo.”
Anatsatira malangizo amene anyamata anzake anamupatsa ndipo anati “Abambo anga ankakusenzetsani goli lolemetsa. Ine ndidzachititsa kuti likhale lolemera kwambiri. Abambo anga ankakukwapulani ndi zikoti wamba koma ine ndidzakukwapulani ndi zinkhanira.”
15 Enti, ɔhene no antie nnipa no adesrɛ. Sɛdeɛ nneɛma mu daneeɛ no nyinaa firi Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛmaa asɛm a Awurade nam Ahiya a ɔfiri Silo so ka kyerɛɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam no baa mu.
Choncho mfumu sinamvere pempho la anthuwo, pakuti zinthu izi zinali zochokera kwa Yehova, kukwaniritsa mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kwa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kudzera mwa Ahiya wa ku Silo.
16 Ɛberɛ a Israel nyinaa hunuu sɛ ɔhene anyɛ wɔn abisadeɛ amma wɔn no, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Yɛne Dawid nni hwee yɛ! Yɛne Yisai babarima no nni hwee yɛ! Israel, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn nkyi! Dawid, hwɛ wʼankasa wo fie so!” Enti, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn fie.
Aisraeli onse ataona kuti mfumu yakana kumva zopempha zawo, iwo anayankha mfumu kuti, “Kodi ife tili ndi gawo lanji mwa Davide, ndi gawo lanjinso mwa mwana wa Yese? Inu Aisraeli, bwererani ku matenti anu! Ziyangʼanira nyumba yako, Iwe Davide!” Kotero Aisraeli anachoka napita ku nyumba zawo.
17 Na Rehoboam toaa so dii Israelfoɔ a wɔtenaa Yuda nkuro so no nyinaa so ɔhene.
Koma Aisraeli amene ankakhala mʼmizinda ya Yuda ankalamuliridwa ndi Rehobowamu.
18 Na ɔhene Rehoboam somaa Adoram a na ɔtua adwumayɛfoɔ ano no sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ, na asomdwoeɛ mmra, nanso Israel nyinaa sii no aboɔ, kumm no. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Rehoboam tee saa asɛm yi no, ntɛm ara, ɔhuri tenaa ne teaseɛnam mu, dwane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Mfumu Rehobowamu anatuma Adoramu amene ankayangʼanira ntchito yathangata, koma Aisraeli onse anamugeda ndi miyala mpaka kumupha. Koma Mfumu Rehobowamu anakwera msangamsanga galeta wake nathawira ku Yerusalemu.
19 Israel mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ atifi fam no ampene sɛ Dawid aseni bɛdi wɔn so, de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Choncho Aisraeli akhala akuwukira nyumba ya Davide mpaka lero lino.
20 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ tee sɛ Yeroboam firi Misraim asane aba no, wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu, sii no ɔhene wɔ Israel nyinaa so. Enti, Yuda abusuakuo no nko ara na wɔkaeɛ, somm Dawid fie nokorɛ mu.
Aisraeli onse atamva kuti Yeroboamu wabwerera kuchokera ku Igupto, anatumiza mawu okamuyitana kuti abwere ku msonkhano ndipo anamuyika kukhala mfumu ya Aisraeli onse. Fuko la Yuda lokha ndi lomwe linkatsatira nyumba ya Davide.
21 Ɛberɛ a Rehoboam duruu Yerusalem no, ɔboaboaa Yuda ne Benyamin akodɔm ano. Ɔyii akofoɔ mpem ɔha ne aduɔwɔtwe, sɛ wɔrekɔko atia Israel akodɔm, na wɔafa ahemman no adi so.
Rehobowamu atafika ku Yerusalemu, anasonkhanitsa nyumba yonse ya Yuda ndi fuko la Benjamini, nasankha ankhondo okwanira 180,000, kuti akamenyane ndi nyumba ya Israeli kuti amubwezere Rehobowamu mwana wa Solomoni ufumu wake.
22 Nanso, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Semaia, Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ,
Koma Mulungu anayankhula ndi Semaya, munthu wa Mulungu kuti,
23 “Ka kyerɛ Salomo babarima Rehoboam, Yudahene ne nnipa a wɔfiri Yuda ne Benyamin sɛ,
“Nena kwa Rehobowamu mwana wa Solomoni mfumu ya Yuda, kwa nyumba yonse ya Yuda ndi Benjamini, ndiponso kwa anthu ena onse kuti,
24 ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, Mo ne mo nuanom Israelfoɔ nntwa mo ho nko. Monsane nkɔ mo akyi, na deɛ asi no nyinaa firi me!’” Enti, wɔtiee Awurade asɛm no, sane kɔɔ wɔn fie sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
‘Yehova akuti: Musapite kukamenyana ndi abale anu Aisraeli. Aliyense wa inu abwerere kwawo, pakuti zimenezi ndachita ndine.’” Choncho anthuwo anamvera mawu a Yehova ndi kubwerera kwawo, monga analamulira Yehova.
25 Yeroboam kyekyeree Sekem kuro wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase so, ma ɛbɛyɛɛ ne kuropɔn. Akyire yi, ɔkɔkyekyeree kuro Penuel.
Tsono Yeroboamu anamanga mzinda wa Sekemu mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu ndipo anakhala kumeneko. Kuchokera kumeneko anapita kukamanga mzinda wa Penueli.
26 Yeroboam dwenee ho dinn, see nʼakomam sɛ, “Sɛ manhwɛ yie a, ahemman no bɛsane akɔ Dawid fiefoɔ adedifoɔ nsam.
Yeroboamu anaganiza mu mtima mwake kuti, “Ndithu, ufumuwu udzabwereranso ku nyumba ya Davide.
27 Na sɛ wɔkɔ Yerusalem, kɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu nso a, wɔbɛsom Yudahene Rehoboam. Ɛba saa a, wɔbɛkum me, de ɔno mmom asi wɔn so ɔhene.”
Ngati anthuwa azipitabe kukapereka nsembe ku Nyumba ya Yehova ku Yerusalemu, adzayambanso kutsatira mbuye wawo Rehobowamu, mfumu ya Yuda. Adzandipha ndi kubwerera kwa Mfumu Rehobowamu.”
28 Enti, ɔtiee deɛ nʼafotufoɔ ka, na ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ anantwie mma mmienu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ ɔbrɛ bebree sɛ mobɛforo akɔ Yerusalem akɔsom. Ɛno enti, Israel, yeinom ne anyame a wɔyii mo firii Misraim!”
Itapempha nzeru, mfumuyo inapanga mafano awiri a ana angʼombe. Mfumuyo inati kwa anthuwo, “Mwakhala mukupita ku Yerusalemu nthawi yayitali. Iwe Israeli, nayi milungu yako imene inakutulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto.”
29 Ɔde nantwie mma ahoni yi sisii Israel anafoɔ ne atifi, wɔ Bet-El ne Dan.
Fano lina analiyika ku Beteli ndipo lina analiyika ku Dani.
30 Yei bɛyɛɛ bɔne kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa no somm ahoni no, a na mpo wɔtwa ɛkwan kɔ Dan.
Ndipo zimenezi zinachimwitsa anthu pakuti anthu ankapita mpaka ku Dani kukapembedza fano limene linali kumeneko.
31 Yeroboam sisii abosonnan wɔ nkokoɔ so, na ɔpaa asɔfoɔ firii nnipa no mu a na wɔmfiri Lewi asɔfoɔ abusua mu.
Yeroboamu anamanga Nyumba za Mulungu pa malo azipembedzo nasankha ansembe kuchokera pakati pa anthu wamba, ngakhale sanali Alevi.
32 Yeroboam hyehyɛɛ nyamesom dapɔnna wɔ Bet-El a na wɔdi saa nna no Bul bosome (bɛyɛ Ahinime) mu a na ɛte sɛ Yuda Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no ara. Bet-El hɔ na ɔno ankasa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa anantwie mma ahoni a wayɛ no. Na Bet-El hɔ ara nso, na ɔpaa asɔfoɔ, maa abosomfie a ɔsisiiɛ no.
