2 Berɛsosɛm 10
1 Rehoboam kɔɔ Sekem, ɛfiri sɛ, na Israelfoɔ nyinaa akɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔsi no ɔhene.
Forsothe Roboam yede forth in to Sichem; for al Israel came togidere thidur to make hym kyng.
2 Ɛberɛ a Nebat babarima Yeroboam tee Salomo wuo no, ɔfiri Misraim baeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwane firii Salomo anim kɔɔ Misraim.
And whanne Jeroboam, the sone of Nabath, that was in Egipt, `for he fledde thidur bifor Salomon, hadde herd this, he turnyde ayen anoon.
3 Israel mpanimfoɔ soma maa wɔkɔfaa Yeroboam, na ɔne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ sɛ wɔne Rehoboam rekɔkasa.
And thei clepiden hym, and he cam with al Israel, and thei spaken to Roboam, and seiden,
4 Wɔkaa sɛ, “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.”
Thi fadir oppresside vs with ful hard yok; comaunde thou liytere thingis than thi fader, that settide on vs a greuouse seruage; and releese thou a litil of `the birthun, that we serue thee. And he seide,
5 Rehoboam buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mommra nnansa akyi, mmɛgye mmuaeɛ.” Enti, nnipa no kɔeɛ.
After thre daies turne ye ayen to me. And whanne the puple was goon, he took counsel with elde men,
6 Na Ɔhene Rehoboam kɔɔ ne mpanimfoɔ bi a na wɔtu nʼagya Salomo fo ne wɔn kɔsusuu asɛm no ho. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moka asɛm no ho ɛdeɛn? Mmuaeɛ bɛn na memfa mma saa nnipa yi?”
that stoden bifor his fadir Salomon, while he lyuyde yit, and seide, What counsel yyuen ye, that Y answere to the puple?
7 Mpanimfoɔ yi buaa sɛ, “Sɛ woyɛ nnipa no yie, na woyɛ ayamyɛ kyerɛ wɔn ma ɛsɔ wɔn ani a, wɔn nso bɛyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ nokwafoɔ.”
And thei seiden to hym, If thou plesist this puple, and makist hem softe bi meke wordis, thei schulen serue thee in al tyme.
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.
And he forsook the counsel of elde men, and bigan to trete with yonge men, that weren nurischid with hym, and weren in his cumpenye.
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?”
And he seide to hem, What semeth to you? ether what owe Y answere to this puple, that seide to me, Releese thou the yok, which thi fadir puttide on vs?
10 Mmeranteɛ no buaa 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.’
And thei answeriden, as yonge men and nurschyd with hym in delicis, and seiden, Thus thou schalt speke to the puple that seide to thee, Thi fadir made greuouse oure yok, releese thou; and thus thou schalt answere to hem, My leeste fyngur is gretter than the leendis of my fader;
11 Aane, na mʼagya yɛ den wɔ mo so, nanso me deɛ, mɛyɛ deɛ ɛkyɛn saa. Sɛ mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me deɛ mede anyanyankyerɛ bɛkeka mo.”
my fadir puttide on you a greuouse yok, and Y schal leie to a gretter birthun; my fadir beet you with scourgis, forsothe Y schal bete you with `scorpiouns, that is, hard knottid roopis.
12 Nnansa akyi, Yeroboam ne nnipa no nyinaa sane baa sɛ wɔrebɛtie Rehoboam mmuaeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔkaeɛ no.
Therfor Jeroboam and al the puple cam to Roboam in the thridde dai, as he hadde comaundid to hem.
13 Na Rehoboam de ahantan kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wamfa mpanimfoɔ no afotuo,
And `the kyng answeride harde thingis, after that he hadde forsake the counsel of the eldere men,
14 na ɔfaa mmeranteɛ no afotuo. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Na mʼagya ma moyɛ adwumaden, na me deɛ, mɛkyɛn saa! Sɛ mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me deɛ, mede anyanyankyerɛ na ɛbɛkeka mo!”
and he spak bi the wille of the yonge men, My fadir puttide on you a greuouse yok, which Y schal make greuousere; my fadir beet you with scourgis, sotheli Y schal bete you with scorpiouns.
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.
And he assentide not to the preieris of the puple; for it was the wille of God, that his word schulde be fillid, which he hadde spoke bi the hond of Ahie of Silo to Jeroboam, sone of Nabath.
16 Ɛberɛ a Israel hunuu sɛ ɔhene no anyɛ wɔn abisadeɛ amma wɔn no, wɔteateaam sɛ, “Dawid ne nʼadedie ntoasoɔ no mfa wɔn ho. Yɛne Yisai babarima no nni twaka biara. Israel, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn afie. Ao Dawid, kɔhwehwɛ wʼankasa wo fie.” Enti, Israel nyinaa sane kɔɔ efie.
Sotheli whanne the kyng seide hardere thingis, al the puple spak thus to hym, No part is to vs in Dauid, nether eritage in the sone of Isai; Israel, turne thou ayen in to thi tabernaclis, sotheli thou, Dauid, feede thin hows. And Israel yede in to hise tabernaclis.
17 Na Rehoboam kɔɔ so dii Israelfoɔ a na wɔtete Yuda nkuro so no so ɔhene.
Forsothe Roboam regnede on the sones of Israel, that dwelliden in the citees of Juda.
18 Ɔhene Rehoboam somaa Hadoram a na ɔhwɛ nnwumayɛfoɔ so no sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ mma ɔman no nyɛ dinn, nanso Israelfoɔ no sii no aboɔ, kumm no. Ɛberɛ a ɔhene Rehoboam tee saa asɛm no, ntɛm ara, ɔhuri tenaa ne teaseɛnam mu, dwane kɔɔ Yerusalem.
And kyng Roboam sente Adhuram, that was souereyn ouer the tributis; and the sones of Israel stonyden hym, and he was deed. Certis kyng Roboam hastide to stie in to the chare, and fledde in to Jerusalem.
19 Israel mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ atifi fam no ampene so sɛ Dawid aseni biara bɛdi wɔn so ɔhene de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
And Israel yede awei fro the hows of Dauid `til to this dai. Forsothe it was doon, whanne al Israel hadde herd, that Jeroboam turnede ayen, thei senten, and clepiden hym, whanne the cumpeny was gaderid, and thei ordeyneden him king on al Israel; and no man, outakun the lynage of Juda aloone, suede `the hows of Dauid.
