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

¹Saß eb li cutan aßan quiticla xyajel laj Abías li ralal laj Jeroboam.

²Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won’t be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

²Laj Jeroboam quixye re li rixakil: —Tikib âcuib chi jalan re nak incßaß teßxnau nak lâat li cuixakil. Ut tatxic aran Silo riqßuin li profeta Ahías xban nak aßan li quiyehoc cue nak lâin tin-oc chokß rey saß li tenamit aßin.

³Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”

³Ut tâcßam lajêb li caxlan cua joß ajcuiß li caxlan cua corech rix ut jun chßina cuc li yaßal cab. Tâqßue re, re nak aßan tixye âcue cßaßru tâcanâk cuiß li chßina al aßin, chan laj Jeroboam.

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

⁴Ut li rixakil laj Jeroboam quixbânu li cßaßru quiyeheß re. Cô aran Silo saß rochoch laj Ahías. Laj Ahías, aßan incßaß chic saken na-iloc xban nak tîx chi us.

⁵Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

⁵Abanan li Kâcuaß Dios quiâtinac riqßuin laj Ahías ut quixye re nak li rixakil laj Jeroboam tâcuulak riqßuin chixpatzßbal re cßaßru tixbânu riqßuin li chßina al yaj. Li Dios quixye ajcuiß re nak li ixk aßan tâcuulak chi jalan xtikibanquil re nak incßaß teßxnau nak aßan li rixakil laj Jeroboam. Ut quixye re cßaßru tixsume cuiß li ixk.

⁶It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, “Come in, you wife of Jeroboam! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

⁶Laj Ahías quirabi li rok li ixk nak yô chak chi oc saß li oquebâl ut quixye re: —Ocan chak, at rixakil laj Jeroboam. ¿Cßaßut nak nacaqßue âcuib chi jalan? Li Dios xtakla jun esilal âcue ra rabinquil.

⁷Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

⁷Ayu ut ye re laj Jeroboam: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel, “Lâin xinsicßoc âcuu saß xyânkeb li tenamit ut xatinxakab chi taklânc saß xbên lin tenamit Israel.

⁸and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

⁸Lâin xcuisiheb li tenamit aßin rubel xcuanquil li ralal xcßajol laj David ut xinkßaxtesi rubel âcuanquil lâat. Abanan lâat incßaß yôcat chi taklânc saß tîquilal saß xbêneb joß quixbânu laj David laj cßanjel chicuu. Aßan quixbânu joß naxye saß lin chakßrab ut quicuan saß xyâlal chicuu. Junelic quicuan saß tîquilal chicuu chi anchal xchßôl.

⁹but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:

⁹Lâat kßaxal cuißchic yibru xabânu chiruheb li queßcuan junxil. Xachikß injoskßil nak xayîb âjalanil dios. Xayîb âjalam ûch chßîchß ut xinâtzßektâna lâin.

¹⁰therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, or, male he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.

¹⁰Joßcan nak anakcuan lâin tinqßue li raylal saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam. Tinsach ruheb chixjunileb li ralal, joß cocß joß nînk. Tinsach ruheb chi junaj cua joß nak namesuman li mul saß junak cab. Mâ jun chic tebincanab.

¹¹He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for Yahweh has spoken it.”’

¹¹Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam li teßcâmk saß tenamit teßtißekß xbaneb li tzßiß. Ut eb li teßcâmk saß cßalebâl teßtißekß xbaneb li soßsol xban nak joßcan xye li Kâcuaß.”

¹²Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

¹²Ut lâat, at ixk, ayu saß lâ cuochoch. Ut nak yôkat chi cuulac saß li tenamit, tâcâmk li chßina al.

¹³All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

¹³Chixjunileb laj Israel teßyâbak chirix nak teßxmuk. Caßaj cuiß aßan li tâmukekß saß xyâlal xban nak li Dios xqßue retal nak caßaj cuiß aßan li us xchßôl saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam.

¹⁴Moreover Yahweh will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day! What? Even now.

¹⁴Li Kâcuaß tixxakab jun chic li cuînk chokß xreyeb laj Israel. Li rey aßan tixsach ruheb chi junaj cua li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam saß ajcuiß li cutan nak tâxakabâk chokß rey.

¹⁵For Yahweh will strike 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 Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger.

¹⁵Li Kâcuaß tixqßueheb chi rahobtesîc laj Israel. Chanchan nak na-ecßasîc li caxlan ajl xban li haß nak teßisîk saß li châbil naßajej li quixqßue li Dios reheb lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb. Tixchaßchaßi ruheb ut tixtaklaheb jun pacßal li nimaß Eufrates xban nak queßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios nak queßxyîb lix dios Asera ut queßxlokßoni.

¹⁶He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”

¹⁶Li Kâcuaß tixkßaxtesiheb laj Israel saß rukßeb li jalaneb xtenamiteb xban nak quimâcob laj Jeroboam ut xban ajcuiß nak laj Jeroboam, aßan li quicßamoc be chiruheb laj Israel re nak teßmâcobk ajcuiß eb aßan, chan li profeta Ahías.

¹⁷Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

¹⁷Nak quirabi li cßaßru quixye laj Ahías, li rixakil laj Jeroboam quicuacli ut cô saß li tenamit Tirsa. Nak yô chi oc saß li rochoch, li chßina al quicam.

¹⁸All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

¹⁸Queßxmuk li camenak ut chixjunileb laj Israel queßyâbac joß quixye li Dios re li profeta Ahías li nacßanjelac chiru.

¹⁹The 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.

¹⁹Chixjunil li quilajxbânu li rey Jeroboam, joß ajcuiß li plêt quixbânu, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas, li tzßîbanbil cuiß chixjunil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Israel.

²⁰The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

²⁰Laj Jeroboam quicuan chokß rey cuib xcaßcßâl chihab. Quicam ut quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß. Aß chic laj Nadab li ralal qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.

²¹Rehoboam 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 which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

²¹Jun roxcßâl chihab cuan re laj Roboam, li ralal laj Salomón, nak qui-oc chokß rey aran Judá. Cuuklaju chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén, li tenamit li sicßbil ru xban li Dios saß xyânkeb lix têpaleb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel. Li Dios quixsicß ru li tenamit Jerusalén re nak aran tâlokßonîk. Lix naß laj Roboam, aßan lix Naama. Amón xtenamit.

²²Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

²²Eb li cuanqueb Judá queßmâcob chiru li Kâcuaß. Kßaxal cuißchic yibru li queßxbânu chiru li queßxbânu lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb. Riqßuin aßin, queßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios.

²³For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

²³Queßxyîb li naßajej najt xteram re teßxlokßoniheb li jalanil dios. Ut queßxyîb riqßuin pec ut cheß li yîbanbil dios Asera ut queßxlokßoni saß chixjunil li tzûl ut rubel chixjunileb li cheß li nînk xmuheb.

²⁴and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the children of Israel.

²⁴Eb li ixk ut eb li cuînk kßaxal cuißchic yibru queßxbânu chiribileb rib re xqßuebal xlokßal lix dioseb li queßxyîb. Queßxbânu joß queßxbânu li jalan xtenamiteb li incßaß nequeßxpâb li Dios, li queßisîc xban li Kâcuaß saß li naßajej li queßoc cuiß eb laj Israel.

²⁵It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

²⁵Nak yô roß chihab roquic chokß rey laj Roboam, laj Sisac lix reyeb laj Egipto quichal Jerusalén chi pletic riqßuineb.

²⁶and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

²⁶Ut quixcßam chokß re chixjunil li terto xtzßak li xocxo saß li palacio, joß ajcuiß li xocxo saß li templo. Ut quixcßam eb ajcuiß li chßîchß li nequeßxram cuiß re xchßôl, li quixyîb riqßuin oro laj Salomón.

²⁷King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

²⁷Ut li rey Roboam quixyîb riqßuin bronce rêkajeb li chßîchß li nequeßxram cuiß re xchßôleb ut quixkßaxtesi reheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldado li nequeßcßacßalen re li oquebâl re li rochoch li rey.

²⁸It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

²⁸Rajlal nak naxic saß lix templo li Dios li rey, eb li soldados li nequeßcßacßalen re nequeßxcßam li chßîchß aßan ut mokon queßxxoc cuißchic saß li naßajej li nequeßxoqueß cuiß.

²⁹Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹Chixjunil li quilajxbânu li rey Roboam tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas, li tzßîbanbil cuiß li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Judá.

³⁰There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

³⁰Rajlal queßxpleti ribeb laj Roboam riqßuin laj Jeroboam.Laj Roboam quicam ut quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß saß lix tenamit laj David. Lix naß laj Roboam, aßan lix Naama. Amón xtenamit. Ut aß chic laj Abiam li ralal qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.

³¹Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

³¹Laj Roboam quicam ut quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß saß lix tenamit laj David. Lix naß laj Roboam, aßan lix Naama. Amón xtenamit. Ut aß chic laj Abiam li ralal qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.
