2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboamu sì lọ sí Ṣekemu nítorí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti lọ síbẹ̀ láti fi jẹ ọba.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem, —for, to Shechem, had all Israel come, to make him king.
2 Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati gbọ́ ẹni ti ó wà ní Ejibiti, níbi tí ó ti sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọba Solomoni ó sì padà láti Ejibiti.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat, who was in Egypt-whither he had fled from the face of Solomon the king—heard of it, then returned Jeroboam out of Egypt.
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà náà ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Jeroboamu àti òun àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu wọ́n sì wí fún pé,
And they sent, and called him, so Jeroboam and all Israel came, —and spake unto Rehoboam, saying:
4 “Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà tí ó wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìwọ mú un fúyẹ́, iṣẹ́ líle àti àjàgà wúwo tí ó gbé ka orí wa, àwa yóò sì sìn ọ́.”
Thy father, made our yoke oppressive, —now, therefore, lighten thou somewhat the oppressive servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehoboamu sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn náà sì lọ.
And he said unto them, Yet three days, and then return unto me, —and the people departed.
6 Nígbà náà ni ọba Rehoboamu fi ọ̀ràn lọ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó ti ń sin baba rẹ̀ Solomoni nígbà ayé rẹ̀, ó sì bi wọ́n léèrè pe, “Báwo ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe gbà mí ní ìmọ̀ràn láti dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lóhùn?”
Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had been standing before Solomon his father, while he yet lived, saying, —How do, ye, counsel to return answer unto this people?
7 Wọ́n sì dáhùn, “Tí ìwọ yóò bá ṣe rere sí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kí o sì ṣe ìre fún wọn, kí o sì fún wọn ní ìdáhùn rere, wọn yóò sì máa jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nígbà gbogbo.”
And they spake unto him saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak unto them kind words, then will they be thy servants, all the days.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Rehoboamu kọ ìmọ̀ràn náà tí àwọn àgbàgbà fi fún un, ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ lọ àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin tí ó ti dàgbàsókè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ń dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
But he declined the counsel of the old men, which they gave him, —and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing before him.
9 Ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Kí ni ìmọ̀ràn yín? Báwo ni kí a ṣe dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú kí àjàgà tí baba rẹ gbé lé wa kí ó fúyẹ́ díẹ̀.’”
And he said unto them, What do, ye, counsel that we should return as answer, unto this people, —who have spoken unto me saying, Lighten thou somewhat the yoke, which thy father put upon us?
10 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé tí ó ti dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ dá a lóhùn pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wí fún ọ wí pé, ‘Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n mú àjàgà wa fúyẹ́,’ wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ìka ọwọ́ mi kékeré, ó nípọn ju ìbàdí baba mi lọ.
Then spake with him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, Thus, shalt thou speak unto the people who have spoken unto thee saying, Thy father, made our yoke heavy, Thou, therefore, lighten somewhat our yoke, —Thus, shalt thou say unto them, My little finger, is thicker than my father’s loins;
11 Baba mi gbé àjàgà wúwo ka orí yín; èmi yóò sì tún mú kí ó wúwo sì í. Baba mi fi pàṣán nà yín; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.’”
Now, therefore, my father, laid upon you a heavy yoke, but, I, will add to your yoke, —My father, chastised you with whips, but, I, with scorpions,
12 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta Jeroboamu àti gbogbo ènìyàn sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti sọ, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi ní ọjọ́ kẹta.”
So Jeroboam and all the people came unto Rehoboam, on the third day, —as the king spake, saying, Return unto me on the third day.
13 Nígbà náà ni ọba dá wọn lóhùn ní ọ̀nà líle. Rehoboamu ọba sì kọ̀ ìmọ̀ràn àwọn àgbàgbà sílẹ̀,
And the king answered them harshly, —and King Rehoboam declined the counsel of the old men;
14 Ó sì tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé, ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi mú kí àjàgà yín wúwo; èmi yóò sì mú kí ó wúwo jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ. Baba mi nà yín pẹ̀lú pàṣán; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.”
and spake unto them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father, made your yoke heavy, but, I, will add thereunto, —My father, chastised you with whips, But, I, with scorpions.
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba kò sì fetísí àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni. Láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣẹ tí a ti sọ fún Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati nípasẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo.
So the king hearkened not unto the people, —for there had come to be a turn from God, to the end Yahweh might establish his word which he had spoken by means of Ahijah the Shilonite, unto Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
16 Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli rí i wí pé ọba kọ̀ láti gbọ́ tiwọn, wọ́n sì dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Ìpín kí ní a ní nínú Dafidi, ìní wo ni a ní nínú ọmọ Jese? Ẹ lọ sí àgọ́ yín, ẹ̀yin Israẹli! Bojútó ilé rẹ, ìwọ Dafidi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ sí ilé wọn.
And, when, all Israel, [saw] that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying—What portion have, we, in David, or inheritance in the son of Jesse? Every man, to your homes, O Israel! Now, see to thine own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their homes.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ń gbé ní ìlú Juda, Rehoboamu ń jẹ ọba lórí wọn.
But, as for the sons of Israel who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Ọba Rehoboamu rán Adoniramu jáde, ẹni tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ iṣẹ́ onírúurú, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa. Ọba Rehoboamu, gbìyànjú láti dé inú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì sálọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the tribute, and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. So, King Rehoboam, hasted to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Israẹli sì wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ lórí ilé Dafidi títí fi di òní yìí.
Thus Israel rebelled against the house of David—unto this day.
