¹Oo Rexabcaam markuu Yeruusaalem tegey wuxuu reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin ka soo shiriyey boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo rag la doortay oo dagaalyahan ahaa si ay dadkii Israa'iil ula diriraan oo ay boqortooyadii mar kale ugu soo celiyaan Rexabcaam.

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.

²Laakiinse Shemacyaah oo nin Ilaah ahaa waxaa u yimid eraygii Ilaah oo leh,

²And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God, saying,

³La hadal Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan oo reer Yahuudah boqor u ah, iyo reer binu Israa'iilka dalka reer Yahuudah iyo kan reer Benyaamiin deggan oo dhan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,

³`Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

⁴Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa inaydnaan kor u bixin oo aydnaan walaalihiin la diririn. Nin waluba gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waayo, waxanu aniguu iga yimid. Sidaas aawadeed way maqleen Eraygii Rabbiga, wayna ka noqdeen Yaaraabcaam kii ay ku kaceen.

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.

⁵Oo Rexabcaamna wuxuu iska degganaa Yeruusaalem oo dalka Yahuudah ayuu magaalooyin qalcado leh ka dhisay.

⁵And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for a bulwark in Judah,

⁶Oo kuwuu dhisay waxay ahaayeen Beytlaxam, iyo Ceetaam, iyo Teqooca,

⁶yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa,

⁷iyo Beytsuur, iyo Sookoo, iyo Cadullaam,

⁷and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,

⁸iyo Gad, iyo Maareeshaah, iyo Siif,

⁸and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

⁹iyo Adoorayim, iyo Laakiish, iyo Caseeqaah,

⁹and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

¹⁰iyo Sorcaah, iyo Ayaaloon, iyo Xebroon, oo dhammaantood ku yaal dalka reer Yahuudah iyo kan reer Benyaamiin, waxayna wada ahaayeen magaalooyin deyr leh.

¹⁰and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks.

¹¹Oo isagu qalcadihii ayuu xoogeeyey oo wuxuu halkaas fadhiisiyey saraakiil, wuxuuna ku kaydiyey cunto iyo saliid iyo khamri.

¹¹And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,

¹²Oo magaalo kasta wuxuu dhigay gaashaammo iyo warmo, kulligoodna aad buu u xoogeeyey. Oo dalka Yahuudah iyo dalka Benyaamiinna isagaa iska lahaa.

¹²and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.

¹³Oo wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo reer binu Israa'iil dhex joogay oo dhammuna isagay uga yimaadeen meelahoodii oo dhan.

¹³And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their border,

¹⁴Waayo, reer Laawi way ka soo kaceen degmooyinkoodii iyo hantidoodiiba oo waxay yimaadeen dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, waayo, Yaaraabcaam iyo wiilashiisii ayaa iyaga eryay si ayan Rabbiga ugu samayn shuqulkii wadaadnimada.

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,

¹⁵Oo isagu wuxuu wadaaddo u doortay meelihii sarsare iyo orgiyadii iyo weylihii uu isagii sameeyey.

¹⁵and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and for goats, and for calves, that he made --

¹⁶Oo dabadoodna qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan in alla intii qalbigooda ku qabata inay doondoonaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waxay iman jireen Yeruusaalem inay allabari u bixiyaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.

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.

¹⁷Markaasay xoogeeyeen boqortooyadii dalka Yahuudah, oo intii saddex sannadood ah ayay xoogeeyeen Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan, waayo, saddex sannadood ayay ku socdeen jidkii Daa'uud iyo kii Sulaymaanba.

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.

¹⁸Oo Rexabcaam wuxuu guursaday Maxalad oo ay dhaleen Yeriimood ina Daa'uud iyo Abiixayil oo ahayd ina Elii'aab ina Yesay,

¹⁸And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse.

¹⁹oo iyana waxay isagii u dhashay wiilal, waana Yecuush, iyo Shemaryaah, iyo Saham.

¹⁹And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and Zaham.

²⁰Oo iyada dabadeedna wuxuu guursaday Macakaah oo ahayd ina Absaaloom, oo waxay isagii u dhashay Abiiyaah, iyo Catay, iyo Siisaa, iyo Shelomiid.

²⁰And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom, and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

²¹Oo Rexabcaamna wuxuu naagihiisii iyo addoommihiisaba ka sii jeclaaday Macakaah oo ahayd ina Absaaloom, (waayo, wuxuu guursaday siddeed iyo toban naagood iyo lixdan addoommo ah, oo wuxuuna dhalay siddeed iyo labaatan wiil iyo lixdan gabdhood.)

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.

²²Oo Rexabcaamna wuxuu madax ka dhigay Abiiyaah oo ay dhashay Macakaah, kaasoo walaalihiis amiir ka dhex ahaa, waayo, wuxuu damacsanaa inuu isaga boqor ka dhigo.Oo wuxuu u macaamilooday si caqli ah, oo wiilashiisii oo dhanna wuu ku kala firdhiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa ee dalkii reer Yahuudah iyo kii reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, oo iyagii wuxuu siiyey cunto badan. Wuxuuna u doondoonay naago badan.

²²And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah, for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign.

²³Oo wuxuu u macaamilooday si caqli ah, oo wiilashiisii oo dhanna wuu ku kala firdhiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa ee dalkii reer Yahuudah iyo kii reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, oo iyagii wuxuu siiyey cunto badan. Wuxuuna u doondoonay naago badan.

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.
