1[Ny nanjakan-dRehoboama] Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema Rehoboama, dia novoriny ny taranak'i Joda sy Benjamina, dia miaramila valo alina amby iray hetsy voafantina, hiady amin'ny Isiraely hampody ny fanjakana ho an-dRehoboama.
1And 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.
2Kanjo kosa ny tenin'i Jehovah tonga tamin'i Semaia, lehilahin'Andriamanitra, ka nanao hoe:
2And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,
3Mitenena amin-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona, mpanjakan'ny Joda, sy amin'ny Isiraely rehetra amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina hoe:
3`Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Aza mandeha hiady amin'ny rahalahinareo, fa samia mody any an-tranony avy ianareo, fa avy amiko izao zavatra izao. Ary nihaino ny tenin'i Jehovah ny olona, ka dia samy lasa nody, fa tsy nandeha hamely an'i Jeroboama.
4Thus 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.
5Ary Rehoboama nitoetra tany Jerosalema ka nanamboatra tanàna mimanda tany Joda.
5And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,
6Ny namboariny dia izao: Betlehema sy Etama sy Tekoa
6yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,
7sy Beti-zora sy Soko sy Adolama
7and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
8sy Gata sy Maresa sy Zifa
8and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9sy Adoraima sy Lakisy sy Azeka
9and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10sy Zora sy Aialona ary Hebrona, izay tanàna mimanda ao amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina.
10and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.
11Ary nanamafy ny tanàna mimanda izy sady nametraka mpanapaka tao aminy ary nanisy hanina sy diloilo ary divay betsaka.
11And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,
12Ary tamin'ny isam-bohitra dia nasiany ampinga lehibe sy lefona avokoa, sady nohamafiny dia nohamafiny ny vohitra; ary ny Joda sy ny Benjamina no nomba azy.
12and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.
13Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay teo amin'ny Isiraely rehetra dia nanatona azy avy tany amin'ny fari-taniny avy.
13And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,
14Fa ny Levita nandao ny tanànany sy ny tany manodidina azy ka nankany Joda sy Jerosalema (fa Jeroboama sy ny zanany efa nanaisotra azy tsy ho mpisorona ho an'i Jehovah,
14for 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,
15fa nanendry mpisorona ho amin'ny fitoerana avo sy ho an'ny Seïrima ary ho an'ny ombilahy kely izay nataony). [Heb. osilahy; anaran'andriamani-tsi-izy]
15and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made --
16Ary na iza na iza tamin'ny firenen'Isiraely rehetra no nanolotra ny fony hitady an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia nanaraka ireo nankany Jerosalema hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
16and 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.
17Ka dia nampahery ny fanjakan'ny Joda izy sady nampahavitrika an-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona, telo taona; fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'i Davida sy Solomona telo taona izy.
17And 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.
18Ary Rehoboama naka an'i Mahalota, zanakavavin'i Jerimota, zanak'i Davida, sy Abihaila, zanakavavin'i Eliaba, zanak'i Jese, ho vadiny,
18And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.
19izay nahazoany zaza, dia Jeosy sy Semaria ary Zahama.
19And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.
20Ary nanarakaraka azy, dia nalainy koa Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma, izay niteraka an'i Abia sy Atahy sy Ziza ary Selomita taminy.
20And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21Ary Rehoboama tia an'Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma, mihoatra noho ny vadiny sy ny vaditsindranony rehetra (fa naka vady valo ambin'ny folo sy vaditsindrano enim-polo izy ka niteraka lahy valo amby roa-polo sy vavy enim-polo).
21And 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.
22Ary Abia, zanakalahin'Imaka, no nataon-dRehoboama lohany ho mpanapaka ny rahalahiny; fa izy no efa nokasainy hampanjakaina.Ary hendry izy ka nampiely ny zanany eran'ny tanin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra, dia tany amin'ny tanàna mimanda rehetra, ka nomeny hanina betsaka sady nitadiavany vady maro.
22And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.
23Ary hendry izy ka nampiely ny zanany eran'ny tanin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra, dia tany amin'ny tanàna mimanda rehetra, ka nomeny hanina betsaka sady nitadiavany vady maro.
23And 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.
