And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Ṣemaiah ènìyàn Ọlọ́run wá wí pé,
And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
3 “Wí fún Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni ọba Juda, sí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní Juda àti Benjamini,
'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 ‘Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí. Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ láti lọ jà pẹ̀lú arákùnrin yín, ẹ lọ sílé, gbogbo yín, nítorí ti ìṣe mi nìyí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì padà sẹ́yìn láti yan lọ dojúkọ Jeroboamu.
Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back from going against Jeroboam.
5 Rehoboamu ń gbe ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì kọ́ àwọn ìlú fún olódi ní Juda.
And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,
6 Bẹtilẹhẹmu, Etamu, Tekoa,
yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 Beti-Suri, Soko, Adullamu,
and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
8 Gati, Meraṣa Sifi,
and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 Adoraimu, Lakiṣi, Aseka
and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 Sora, Aijaloni, àti Hebroni. Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ìlú ìdáàbòbò ní Juda àti Benjamini.
and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
11 Ó sì mú àwọn ìlú olódi lágbára, ó sì fi àwọn balógun sínú wọn àti àkójọ oúnjẹ, àti òróró àti ọtí wáìnì.
And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
12 Àti ní olúkúlùkù ìlú ni ó fi asà àti ọ̀kọ̀ sí, ó sì mú wọn lágbára gidigidi, ó sì ní Juda àti Benjamini lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
13 Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi, láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà wọn jákèjádò Israẹli wà ní ẹ̀bá rẹ̀.
And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
14 Àwọn ará Lefi fi ìgbèríko sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu nítorí Jeroboamu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ti kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa.
for the Levites have left their suburbs and their possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests to Jehovah,
15 Ó sì yan àwọn àlùfáà tirẹ̀ fún àwọn ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti fún àwọn ère òbúkọ, àti fún ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí ó ṣe.
and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made —
16 Àwọn tó wá láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli tí wọ́n fi ọkàn wọn fún wíwá Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tẹ̀lé àwọn ará Lefi lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba a wọn.
and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father.
17 Ó fún ìjọba Juda ní agbára, ó sì ti Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni lẹ́yìn fún ọdún mẹ́ta nítorí ọdún mẹ́ta ni wọ́n fi rìn ní ọ̀nà ti Dafidi àti Solomoni ní àkókò yí.
And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
18 Rehoboamu fẹ́ Mahalati tí ó jẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Dafidi Jerimoti bi àti ti Abihaili, ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Jese Eliabu bí.
And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
19 Ó bí àwọn ọmọ fún un: Jeuṣi, Ṣemariah àti Sahamu.
And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
20 Nígbà náà, ó fẹ́ Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu, tí ó bí Abijah fún Attai, Sisa àti Ṣelomiti.
And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Rehoboamu fẹ́ràn Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu ju èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìyàwó rẹ̀ àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀ lọ. Ní gbogbo rẹ̀, ó ní ìyàwó méjìdínlógún àti ọgọ́ta àlè ọmọkùnrin méjìdínlọ́gbọ̀n àti ọgọ́ta ọmọbìnrin.
And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for eighteen wives he hath taken, and sixty concubines — and he begetteth twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.
22 Rehoboamu yan Abijah ọmọ Maaka láti jẹ́ olóyè ọmọ-aládé láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, kí ó ba à lè ṣe é ní ọba.
And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.
23 Ó hùwà ọlọ́gbọ́n, nípa fí fọ́n díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ jákèjádò ká àwọn agbègbè Juda àti Benjamini àti sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú ńlá olódi. Ó fún wọn ní ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí wọ́n fẹ́, ó sì fẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ìyàwó fún wọn.
And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he asketh a multitude of wives.
