¹And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

¹[Ny niodinan'ny firenena folo, sy ny niandohan'ny fanjahan'Isiraely] Ary Rehoboama nankany Sekema, fa tany no efa nalehan'ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy.

²And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

²Koa raha nandre izany Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata (fa izy mbola tany Egypta, izay nalehany tamin'izy nandositra niala teo anatrehan'i Solomona mpanjaka;

³That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

³ka dia naniraka naka azy ny olona), dia tonga izy sy ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ka niteny tamin-dRehoboama hoe:

⁴Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁴Rainao dia nampitondra zioga mavesatra anay, fa inty kosa mby aminao ka mba hamaivano ny fanompoana mafy tamin-drainao sy ny zioga mavesatra izay nataony taminay, dia hanompo anao izahay.

⁵And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

⁵Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Mandehana aloha, ka raha afaka hateloana, dia mankanesa atỳ amiko indray. Dia lasa ny olona.

⁶And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

⁶Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka naka hevitra tamin'ny zoki-olona izay nitoetra teo anatrehan'i Solomona rainy fony fahavelony ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no hevitra omenareo havaly ny vahoaka?

⁷And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

⁷Dia hoy ireo taminy: Raha mety ho mpanompon'ny vahoaka ianao izao ka hanompo azy sy hanao teny mora aminy, dia ho mpanomponao mandrakizay izy.

⁸But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

⁸Nefa nolavin-dRehoboama ny hevitra nomen'ireo zoki-olona azy, dia naka hevitra tamin'ny tovolahy izay indray nihira taminy sady efa nitoetra teo anatrehany izy

⁹And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

⁹ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana kosa no mba hevitra omenareo havalintsika ny vahoaka izay efa niteny tamiko hoe: Hamaivano ny zioga izay nataon-drainao taminay

¹⁰And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

¹⁰Ary ireo tovolahy indray nihira taminy nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazao amin'ny vahoaka izay niteny taminao hoe: Rainao nampitondra zioga mavesatra anay; fa inty kosa mby aminao ka mba hamaivano aminay izany, izao no lazao aminy: Ny ankihikeliko dia lehibe noho ny valahan'ny raiko;

¹¹And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹¹koa raha nampitondra zioga mavesatra anareo ny raiko, izaho kosa dia mainka hanampy ny zioga ho entinareo; kotopia no namaizan'ny raiko anareo, fa maingoka fikapohana kosa no hamaizako anareo.

¹²So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

¹²Ary Jeroboama sy ny vahoaka rehetra nankany amin-dRehoboama tamin'ny andro fahatelo, araka ilay nolazain'ny mpanjaka hoe: Mankanesa atỳ amiko indray amin'ny andro fahatelo.

¹³And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

¹³Ary ny mpanjaka nanao teny mafy tamin'ny olona, fa nandà ny saina nomen'ireo zoki-olona azy izy

¹⁴And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

¹⁴ka niteny taminy araka ny hevitra nomen'ireo tovolahy hoe: Ny raiko dia nampitondra zioga mavesatra anareo, fa izaho kosa mainka hanampy ny zioga ho entinareo, kotopia no namazain'ny raiko anareo, fa maingoka fikapohana kosa no hamaizako anareo.

¹⁵Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

¹⁵Koa dia tsy nihaino ny olona ny mpanjaka; fa avy tamin'i Jehovah izany zavatra izany hahatanteraka ny teniny izay nampilazainy an'i Ahia Silonita tamin'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata.

¹⁶So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

¹⁶Ary nony hitan'ny Isiraely rehetra fa tsy nihaino azy ny mpanjaka, dia namaly ny mpanjaka ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Inona moa no anjaranay amin'i Davida? Tsy manana lova amin'ny zanak'i Jese izahay; samia mody any an-dainy avy, ry Isiraely e; ankehitriny tandremo ny taranakao, ry Davida ô. Dia samy nody ho any an-dainy avy ny Isiraely.

¹⁷But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

¹⁷Fa ny Zanak'Isiraely izay nonina tany an-tanànan'ny Joda ihany no nanjakan-dRehoboama .

¹⁸Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

¹⁸Ary dia naniraka an'i Adorama, komandin'ny mpanao fanompoana, Rehoboama mpanjaka, nefa ny Isiraely rehetra nitora-bato azy, ka maty izy. Dia niezaka faingana nankeo amin'ny kalesiny Rehoboama mpanjaka handositra ho any Jerosalema.

¹⁹So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

¹⁹Ka dia niodina tamin'ny taranak'i Davida ny Isiraely mandraka androany.

²⁰And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

²⁰Ary rehefa ren'ny Isiraely rehetra fa efa tafaverina indray Jeroboama, dia naniraka naka azy ho ao amin'ny fivoriana izy ka nampanjaka azy tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra; dia tsy nisy nanaraka ny taranak'i Davida afa-tsy ny firenen'i Joda ihany.

²¹And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

²¹Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema Rehoboama, dia novoriny ny taranak'i Joda rehetra mbamin'ny firenen'i Benjamina, dia miaramila valo alina amby iray hetsy voafantina, hiady amin'ny taranak'Isiraely hampody ny fanjakana indray ho an-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona.

²²But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

²²Kanjo tonga tamin'i Semaia, lehilahin'Andriamanitra, kosa ny tenin'Andriamanitra nanao hoe

²³Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

²³Mitenena amin-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona, mpanjakan'ny Joda, sy amin'ny taranak'i Joda sy Benjamina rehetra ary amin'ny vahoaka sisa hoe:

²⁴Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

²⁴Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Aza mandeha hiady amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely rahalahinareo; fa samia mody any an-tranony avy ianareo, fa avy amiko izao zavatra izao. Dia nihaino ny tenin'i Jehovah ny olona, ka dia samy lasa nody araka ny tenin'i Jehovah.

²⁵Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

²⁵[Ny nanaovan'i Jeroboama ireo sarin'ombilahy kely volamena tao Betela sy Dana] Ary Jeroboama dia nanamboatra an'i Sekema any amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima ka nonina tao; ary raha avy tao izy, dia nanamboatra an'i Pehoela koa.

²⁶And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

²⁶Ary Jeroboama nanao anakampo hoe: Izao ny fanjakana dia hody amin'ny taranak'i Davida ihany;

²⁷If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

²⁷fa raha miakatra hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ao amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah any Jerosalema ny vahoaka, dia hody amin'ny tompony indray ny fony dia amin-dRehoboama, mpanjakan'ny Joda, ary dia hamono ahy izy ka hiverina any amin-dRehoboama, mpanjakan'ny Joda, indray.

²⁸Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

²⁸Dia nihevitra ny mpanjaka ka nanao ombilahy kely volamena roa; ary hoy izy tamin'ny olona: "Aoka izay ny fiakaranareo any Jerosalema! Ry Isiraely ô" indreo ny andriamanitrao, izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta.

²⁹And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

²⁹Ary ny anankiray dia napetrany tao Betela, fa ny anankiray kosa dia tao Dana.

³⁰And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

³⁰Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga fahotana; fa ny olona dia nandeha hivavaha teo anatrehan'ny anankiray amin'ireo hatrany Dana.

³¹And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

³¹Ary nanao trano teny amin'ny fitoerana avo izy sady nanendry olona hafa ho mpisorona, izay tsy isan'ny taranak'i Levy.

³²And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

³²Ary Jeroboama, nanendry andro firavoravoana tamin'ny andro fahadimy ambin'ny folo amin'ny volana fahavalo, tahaka ny andro firavoravoana tamin'ny Joda ihany, ka nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin'ny alitara izy. Toy izany no nataony tao Betela, fa namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'ireo ombilahy kely izay nataony izy; ary nampitoeriny tao Betela ireo mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo izay notendreny.Ary nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin'ny alitara izay nataony tao Betela izy tamin'ny andro fahadimy ambin'ny folo amin'ny volana fahavalo, volana izay notendreny araka ny sitrapony ihany; ary nanao andro firavoravoana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely izy sady nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin'ny alitara sy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra.

³³So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

³³Ary nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin'ny alitara izay nataony tao Betela izy tamin'ny andro fahadimy ambin'ny folo amin'ny volana fahavalo, volana izay notendreny araka ny sitrapony ihany; ary nanao andro firavoravoana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely izy sady nanatitra fanatitra teo ambonin'ny alitara sy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra.
