¹It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him.

¹Nak laj Roboam quirecßa nak xakxo chic saß xnaßaj lix cuanquil ut cau chic rib, quixcanab xbânunquil li naxye saß lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß. Ut joßcan ajcuiß queßxbânu chixjunileb laj Israel.

²It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,

²Xban nak laj Roboam quixkßet lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß, joßcan nak laj Sisac, lix reyeb laj Egipto, quichal chi pletic riqßuineb laj Jerusalén. Aßin quicßulman nak ac yô chic roß chihab roquic chokß rey laj Roboam.

³with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

³Eb laj Egipto queßxcßam jun mil riqßuin cuib ciento li carruaje re pletic ut oxcßâl mil li cuînk li nequeßxic chirix cacuây. Nabaleb li tenamit li queßchal chi pletic chirixeb laj Egipto. Incßaß naru rajlanquileb xban xqßuialeb. Aßaneb li tenamit laj Libia, eb laj suquienos, ut eb li tenamit Etiopía.

⁴He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

⁴Queßrêchaniheb li tenamit li cuanqueb aran Judá, li sutsûqueb saß tzßac toj retal queßcuulac Jerusalén.

⁵Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”

⁵Li profeta Semaías quicuulac riqßuin li rey Roboam ut riqßuineb li nequeßtenkßan re aran Judá. Chßutchßûqueb aran xban nak laj Sisac yô chi numtâc saß xbêneb. Laj Semaías quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß. “Xban nak lâex xinêtzßektâna, joßcan nak lâin texincanab saß rukß laj Sisac”, chan.

⁶Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”

⁶Ut li rey rochbeneb li nequeßtenkßan re queßxcubsi ribeb ut queßxye: —Li Kâcuaß naxbânu chixjunil saß tîquilal, chanqueb.

⁷When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

⁷Li Kâcuaß quixqßue retal nak queßxcubsi ribeb. Quiâtinac cuißchic riqßuin li profeta Semaías ut quixye re: —Eb aßan xeßxcubsi ribeb. Joßcan nak incßaß tinsach ruheb. Tebincol ban junpâtak. Incßaß tincuisi injoskßil saß xbêneb laj Israel li cuanqueb Jerusalén. Incßaß tincanab laj Sisac chixcamsinquileb.

⁸Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

⁸Incßaß tebinsach ru, abanan tebinqßue chi cßanjelac chiru laj Sisac. Ut aran texqßue retal chanru li cßanjelac chicuu lâin ut chanru li cßanjelac chiruheb lix reyeb li jalaneb xtenamit.—

⁹So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

⁹Laj Sisac lix reyeb laj Egipto quichal Jerusalén chi pletic riqßuineb. Ut quixcßam chokß re chixjunil li terto xtzßak li xocxo saß lix templo li Dios, joß ajcuiß li xocxo saß li palacio. Ut quixcßam ajcuiß li chßîchß li nequeßxram cuiß re xchßôl li quixyîb riqßuin oro laj Salomón.

¹⁰King 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.

¹⁰Ut 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.

¹¹It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Yahweh, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.

¹¹Rajlal 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.

¹²When he humbled himself, the wrath of Yahweh turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.

¹²Xban nak li rey Roboam quixcubsi rib, quinumeß xjoskßil li Dios ut incßaß quixsach ruheb chi junaj cua. Ut cuan ajcuiß li cßaßru us li quicßulman aran Judá.

¹³So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for 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.

¹³Quiniman xcuanquil laj Roboam nak cuan chokß rey aran Jerusalén. Jun roxcßâl chihab cuan re nak qui-oc chokß rey. Cuuklaju chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén saß li tenamit li quixsicß ru li Dios saß xyânkeb lix têpaleb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel re nak aran tâlokßonîk. Lix naß laj Roboam, aßan lix Naama, Amón xtenamit.

¹⁴He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.

¹⁴Li rey Roboam quixbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß xban nak incßaß quixqßue xchßôl chixlokßoninquil li Dios.

¹⁵Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

¹⁵Chixjunil li quilajxbânu laj Roboam nak cuan saß xcuanquil tzßîbanbil retalil saß eb li hu li queßxtzßîba li profeta Semaías ut li profeta Iddo, li tzßîbanbil cuiß xcßabaßeb li junjûnk cabal. Laj Roboam ut laj Jeroboam junelic queßxpleti ribeb.Laj Roboam quicam ut quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil yucuaß saß lix tenamit laj David. Ut aß chic laj Abías li ralal qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.

¹⁶Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.

¹⁶Laj Roboam quicam ut quimukeß saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil yucuaß saß lix tenamit laj David. Ut aß chic laj Abías li ralal qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.
