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 came to Jerusalem; and he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men apt for war, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

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

²But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the 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,

³Speak unto Rehoboam, the 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 saith Jehovah: Go not up, nor fight with your brethren; return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. And they hearkened to the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

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

⁵And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.

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

⁶And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

⁷iyo Beytsuur, iyo Sookoo, iyo Cadullaam,

⁷and Beth-zur, and Soco, 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 Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

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

¹¹And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and of 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 several city, targets and spears, and made them exceedingly strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.

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 were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their districts;

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 left their suburbs and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from exercising the priesthood to Jehovah;

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

¹⁵and he ordained for himself priests for the high places, and for the he-goats and for the calves that he had 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.

¹⁶-- And after them, those out of all the tribes of Israel that set their heart to seek Jehovah the God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers.

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 strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong three years; for during three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

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

¹⁸And Rehoboam took Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David as wife, [and of] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.

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

¹⁹And she bore him children: Jeush, and Shemariah, 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 took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore 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 loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he begot twenty-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 established Abijah the son of Maachah at the head, to be ruler among his brethren; for [he thought] to make him king.

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 dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities; and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired [for them] a multitude of wives.
