¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam was sick.

¹ Alwaati woodin ra Abiya, Yerobowam ize fo zaŋey.

²And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me that [I should be] king over this people.

² Yerobowam ne nga wande se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma tun ka ni boŋ bare mate kaŋ i si ni bay hala nin no Yerobowam wande, ka koy Silo. Guna, noodin no annabi Ahiya go, nga kaŋ n'ay ciine te ka ne ay ga ciya bonkooni dumo wo boŋ.

³And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the lad.

³ Ma buuru kunkuni way sambu mo, da maasa fooyaŋ da yu kulba, ka koy a do. A ga ci ni se haŋ kaŋ ga du arwaso.»

⁴And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

⁴ Yerobowam wande binde te yaadin. A tun ka koy Silo ka to Ahiya kwaara. Day, Ahiya si di, zama a moy te kubay a zeena se.

⁵And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign to be another.

⁵ Rabbi ne Ahiya se: «Guna, Yerobowam wande goono ga kaa ni do, zama nga ma ni hã nga ize sanni, zama a goono ga zaŋay. Ya nda ya no ni ga ci a se, zama a ga ciya, waato kaŋ waybora furo, a ga nga boŋ te sanda wayboro fo no.»

⁶And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou to be another? But I am sent to thee with a hard [message].

⁶ A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Ahiya maa waybora cey yooje kaŋ a ga ba ka furo fu meyo gaa, kala Ahiya ne: «Ma furo, nin Yerobowam wande. Ifo se no ni ga alhaali barmay sanda wayboro fo no kaŋ i si bay? Zama Rabbi n'ay donton ni gaa nda baaru kaŋ ga tin.

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

⁷ Ma koy ka ci Yerobowam se: Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo ci neeya: Baa kaŋ ay na ni beerandi jama ra, ay na ni ciya ay jama Israyla jine boro,

⁸and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do only that which is right in my sight;

⁸ ay na mayra kom mo Dawda dumo gaa, k'a no ni se, kulu nda yaadin ni mana te sanda ay tamo Dawda cine. Nga wo n'ay lordey haggoy k'ay gana nda nga bina kulu, zama nga ma te hay kulu kaŋ ga saba ay diyaŋ gaa hinne.

⁹but thou hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

⁹ Amma ni na laala goy te ka bisa borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ na ni jin, hala ni koy ka tooruyaŋ te ni boŋ se, himandi-himandi, sooguyaŋ wane yaŋ. Ni n'ay bina zuku, hal ay ma te bine, ni n'ay furu mo ni banda.

¹⁰therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

¹⁰ A go binde, ay ga masiiba candi ka kande Yerobowam dumo boŋ. Ay ga ize alboro kulu alandaaba mo Yerobowam se, nga kaŋ go daabante, da nga kaŋ go taŋante Israyla ra. Ay ma Yerobowam dumi kulu haabu ka darandi parkatak, sanda mate kaŋ cine boro ga wuri haabu hal a kulu ma ban.

¹¹Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat; for Jehovah hath spoken.

¹¹ Boro kaŋ bu Yerobowam do haray kwaara ra, hansiyaŋ g'a ŋwa. Boro kaŋ bu saaji ra mo, beene curey g'a ŋwa, zama Rabbi no ka woodin ci.

¹²And thou, arise, go to thine own house; when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹² Ni binde waybora, ni ma tun ka koy ni kwaara. Waato kaŋ ni ce taamo furo kwaara ra, arwaso ga bu.

¹³And all Israel shall mourn for him, and they shall bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹³ Israyla kulu mo ga bu baray te a se, k'a fiji, zama nga hinne no Yerobowam dumo ra ga furo saaray ra, zama Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo na miila hanno gar a do, Yerobowam dumo ra.

¹⁴And Jehovah shall raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day; and what? ... even now.

¹⁴ Rabbi mo ga bonkooni fo tunandi Israyla boŋ kaŋ ga Yerobowam dumo tuusu han din hane. Baa sohõ binde, ifo nooya?

¹⁵And Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherahs, provoking Jehovah to anger.

¹⁵ Zama Rabbi ga Israyla kar, sanda mate kaŋ cine kwaari ga zinji hari ra. A ga Israyla dagu laabu hanno wo kaŋ a no i kaayey se din ra. A g'i kar ka say-say hala ka koy Isa Beero daranta, zama i na wayboro himandi bundu tooruyaŋ te ngey boŋ se, hal i ma Rabbi zokoti a ma te bine.

¹⁶And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he has sinned, and made Israel to sin.

¹⁶ A ga Israyla furu Yerobowam zunubey kaŋ yaŋ a te sabbay se, da mo nango kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te.»

¹⁷And Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah; when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died.

¹⁷ Yerobowam wando binde tun ka dira ka kaa Tirza. Kaŋ a to fuwo kutijo gaa, kala arwaso bu.

¹⁸And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁸ Israyla kulu binde n'a fiji ka bu baray te a se, Rabbi sanno kaŋ a te nga tamo annabi Ahiya me ra din boŋ.

¹⁹And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

¹⁹ Yerobowam goy cindey binde, da mate kaŋ a na wongu te d'a, da mate kaŋ a na mayray te d'a, guna i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra.

²⁰And the days that Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

²⁰ Jiirey kaŋ Yerobowam na mayray te, jiiri waranka cindi hinka no. A kani nga kaayey banda. A ize Nadab mo te bonkooni a nango ra.

²¹And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there; and his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

²¹ Suleymanu ize Rehobowam may Yahuda ra. Rehobowam gonda jiiri waytaaci cindi fo kaŋ a na nga mayra sintin. A may mo jiiri way cindi iyye Urusalima ra. Birno nooya kaŋ Rabbi suuban Israyla kundey kulu ra, naŋ kaŋ a ga nga maa sinji. Bonkoono nyaŋo ti Naama, Amon wayboro no.

²²And Judah did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed more than all that their fathers had done.

²² Yahuda mo na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, k'a bine zuku hal a ma canse ka bisa hay kulu kaŋ i kaayey te i zunubey kaŋ i te sabbay se.

²³And they also built for themselves high places, and columns, and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;

²³ Zama i na tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey cina ngey boŋ se. I na tondiyaŋ jabu ka te tooru himandi ka wayboro himandi bundu tooruyaŋ te tudu kulu kaŋ ga ku boŋ da tuuri-nya kulu kaŋ gonda bi cire.

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel.

²⁴ Arkuuruyaŋ mo go no laabo ra. Dumey mo kaŋ Rabbi gaaray Israyla izey jine waato, i te i fanta hari teerey kulu boŋ.

²⁵And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

²⁵ A ciya binde, Rehobowam koytara jiiri guwanta ra, kala Misira bonkoono Sisak kande wongu Urusalima gaa.

²⁶And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.

²⁶ Rabbi windo jinayyaŋ kaŋ gonda darza, da bonkoono windo ra jinayyaŋ kaŋ gonda darza, da wura korayey kaŋ Suleymanu te, a n'i ku ka dira nda ikulu.

²⁷And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.

²⁷ I nango ra Bonkoono Rehobowam na korayyaŋ te da guuru-say k'i daŋ batukoy jine borey kambe ra, ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga bonkoono windo me batu.

²⁸And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers bore them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.

²⁸ A ciya binde, waati kaŋ bonkoono ga furo Rabbi windo ra, batukoy g'i sambu ka kond'ey. D'a ye ka kaa, i ga ye ka kand'ey batukoy fuwo ra.

²⁹And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹ Rehobowam goy cindo, da hay kulu kaŋ a te, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tirey ra bo?

³⁰And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.

³⁰ Wongu go no mo Rehobowam nda Yerobowam game ra, kaŋ mana ye da banda.

³¹And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

³¹ Kala Rehobowam kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji mo nga kaayey banda Dawda birno ra. A nya maa Naama, Amon wayboro no. A ize Abiyam te bonkooni a nango ra.
