1And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
1 Rehobowam koy Sekem zama Israyla kulu koy Sekem zama ngey m'a didiji bonkooni.
2And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;
2 A ciya binde, Nebat ize Yerobowam maa baaro din, (zama waato a go Misira, naŋ kaŋ a zuru Suleymanu se ka koy. Waato kaŋ a go Misira da goray,
3and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
3 kal a corey donton k'a ce.) Kala Yerobowam da Israyla jama kulu tun ka kaa ka salaŋ Rehobowam se ka ne:
4Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten thou the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
4 «Ni baaba n'iri taabandi da calu* kaŋ ga tin. Sohõ binde kala ni ma rongome te iri se da tamtaray konna kaŋ ni baaba n'iri daŋ, d'a calu tiŋa kaŋ a dake iri boŋ, iri mo ga may ni se.»
5And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
5 Bonkoono ne i se: «Wa tun ka koy hala ne ka guna jirbi hinza, gaa no araŋ ma ye ka kaa ay do.» Borey binde tun ka dira.
6And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
6 Bonkoono Rehobowam binde saaware nda arkusey kaŋ ga kay nga baabo Suleymanu jine za a ga funa. A ne: «Saaware woofo dumi no araŋ g'ay no, zama ay ma tu borey wo se?»
7And they spoke to him saying, If this day thou wilt be a servant to this people, and wilt serve them and answer them and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
7 Kal i salaŋ a se ka ne: «Da ni yadda ka ciya tam jama wo se hunkuna, ka may i se, ka tu i se, ka gomni sanni te i se mo, kala ngey mo ma ciya ni tamyaŋ hal abada.»
8But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
8 Amma Rehobowam na arkusey saawara kaŋ i n'a no din furu. A na nga waddey kaŋ yaŋ beeri nga banda saaware ceeci, ngey kaŋ yaŋ go ga kay a jine.
9And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
9 A ne i se: «Man araŋ saawara, zama iri ma tu jama wo se, kaŋ yaŋ ne ay se: ‹Ma jarawo kaŋ ni baaba dake iri boŋ din dogonandi?› »
10And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to this people that have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, -- thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
10 Kala a waddey kaŋ yaŋ beeri a banda salaŋ a se ka ne: «Ya-cine no ni ga ne borey din se kaŋ yaŋ salaŋ ni se ka ne: ‹Ni baaba na jaraw tiŋandi iri boŋ, amma nin wo, ni m'a dogonandi iri se.› Ya-cine no ni ga ne i se: ‹Ay kambe koda bisa ay baaba canta wargayaŋ.
11and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, *I* will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions.
11 A binde, mate kaŋ cine ay baaba na jaraw tiŋo dake araŋ boŋ, ay mo g'a tonton. Ay baaba na araŋ gooji da barzuyaŋ, amma ay wo, daŋyaŋ no ay g'araŋ gooji nd'a.› »
12And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
12 Yerobowam binde, nga nda borey kulu kaa Rehobowam do zaari hinzanta hane, sanda mate kaŋ bonkoono n'i lordi ka ne: «Wa kaa ay do zaari hinzanta hane.»
13And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him;
13 Bonkoono mo tu jama se da futay. A wangu arkusey saawara kaŋ i te a se.
14and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but *I* will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but *I* will chastise you with scorpions.
14 A salaŋ i se nga waddey saawara boŋ ka ne: «Ay baaba na jaraw tiŋandi araŋ boŋ, amma ay wo g'a tonton. Ay baaba na araŋ gooji nda barzuyaŋ, amma ay wo g'araŋ gooji nda daŋyaŋ.»
15So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by Jehovah, that he might give effect to his word, which Jehovah spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15 Yaadin no bonkoono mana hangan jama se, zama waadu hari no kaŋ fun Rabbi do, zama nga ma nga sanno kaŋ Rabbi ci Nebat ize Yerobowam se Ahiya Silo bora me ra din tabbatandi.
16And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: To your tents, O Israel! Now see to thine own house, David! And Israel went to their tents.
16 Waato kaŋ Israyla jama kulu di kaŋ bonkoono baa si nda ngey, jama tu bonkoono se ka ne: «Baa woofo no iri se binde Dawda do? Iri sinda tubu fo mo Yasse izo do. Ya Israyla, wa koy araŋ kwaarey do. Ya Dawda, kala ni ma laakal da ni boŋ kunda.» Israyla binde dira ka koy fu.
17But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17 Amma Israyla ize cindey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Yahuda laabo ra, i sanni, Rehobowam n'i may.
18And king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the levy; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18 Waato din gaa bonkoono Rehobowam na Adoram donton, nga kaŋ go doole goyo boŋ. Israyla kulu binde n'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu. Bonkoono Rehobowam binde tun da cahãyaŋ ka kaaru torko boŋ zama nga ma zuru ka koy Urusalima.
19And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
19 Israyla binde murte Dawda dumey gaa hala ka kaa sohõ.
20And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the assembly, and made him king over all Israel: none followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
20 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Israyla kulu maa baaru kaŋ Yerobowam ye ka kaa, i donton k'a ce jama marga do, k'a didiji bonkooni Israyla kulu boŋ. Boro kulu mana Dawda kunda gana, kala Yahuda kunda hinne.
21And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
21 Waato kaŋ Rehobowam kaa Urusalima, a na Yahuda kunda nda Benyamin kunda kulu margu, boro suubananteyaŋ zambar zangu nda wahakku kaŋ soojeyaŋ no, zama i ma Israyla dumo wongu ka ye ka kande mayra Suleymanu ize Rehobowam kambe ra.
22But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
22 Amma Irikoy sanno kaa Irikoy bora Semaya do ka ne:
23Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remainder of the people, saying,
23 «Ma salaŋ Yahuda bonkoono Suleymanu izo Rehobowam se, nga nda Yahuda da Benyamin kulu da jama cindo mo se ka ne:
24Thus saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren, the children of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the word of Jehovah, and returned to depart, according to the word of Jehovah.
24 ‹Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Araŋ ma si ziji fa! Araŋ ma si araŋ nya-izey Israyla izey wongu mo. Boro kulu ma ye ka koy nga kwaara, zama woone wo, ay do no a fun.› » I binde maa Rabbi sanno ka ngey fondo di ka ye, Rabbi sanno boŋ.
25And Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
25 Waato din gaa no Yerobowam na Sekem cina Ifraymu tondey laabo ra, ka goro a ra. A tun noodin ka koy ka Penuwel cina.
26And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David.
26 Yerobowam ne nga bina ra: «Sohõ da jama wo ziji zama ngey ma sargay te Urusalima, Rabbi windo ra, mayra ga ye ka kaa Dawda dumo do haray.
27If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
27 Saaya din jama wo biney ga ye ka bare ka guna ngey bonkoono gaa haray, kaŋ ga ti Yahuda bonkoono Rehobowam. I g'ay wi mo ka ye Yahuda bonkoono Rehobowam do.»
28And the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt!
28 Woodin se no bonkoono na saaware te ka ne i ma handayze hinka te, wura wane yaŋ. A ne jama se: «Araŋ dira ka koy Urusalima yaŋ wo, a wasa. Guna, ya Israyla, ni irikoyey neeya, ngey kaŋ yaŋ kande nin ka fun Misira laabo ra.»
29And he set the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
29 Yerobowam na afo daŋ Betel ra, a na afa mo daŋ Dan ra.
30And this thing became a sin; and the people went [to worship] before the one, as far as Dan.
30 Haya din binde ciya zunubi, zama jama koy zama ngey ma sombu ka sududu wo kaŋ go hala Dan ra din jine.
31And he made a house of high places, and made priests from all classes of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
31 A ye ka sududuyaŋ nangu fooyaŋ te tudey boŋ, ka alfagayaŋ mo daŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga ti ikayney jama kulu ra, kaŋ manti Lawi izey wane yaŋ no.
32And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
32 Yerobowam binde lordi ka ne i ma batu te handu ahakkanta ra, hando jirbi way cindi guwanta, batu kaŋ i ga te Yahuda ra misa boŋ. Nga mo koy sargay feema din do. Yaadin mo no a te Betel ra, ka sargayyaŋ te handayzey kaŋ nga te se. Betel ra mo a na alfagayaŋ daŋ tudey boŋ nangey kaŋ a te yaŋ se.
33And he offered upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and he made a feast for the children of Israel, and he offered upon the altar, burning incense.
33 A ziji mo feema kaŋ a te Betel ra din do, handu ahakkanta jirbi way cindi guwa, hando kaŋ a suuban nga bina ra din nooya. A na batu sinji mo Israyla izey se, ka ziji mo feema do zama nga ma dugu ton.
