1Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
1 Rehobowam koy Sekem zama Israyla kulu margu Sekem zama ngey m'a didiji bonkooni.
2It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
2 Yerebowam Nebat izo maa baaro din (zama waato a go Misira, nango kaŋ a zuru Suleymanu se ka koy). Amma Yerebowam ye ka kaa ka fun Misira zama a corey
3They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
3 donton k'a ce. Yerebowam da Israyla kulu kaa ka salaŋ da Rehobowam, ka ne:
4“Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”
4 «Ni baaba n'iri taabandi nda calu* kaŋ ga tin. Sohõ binde ni ma rongome te iri se da tamtaray konna kaŋ ni baaba n'iri daŋ d'a calu tiŋa kaŋ a dake iri boŋ, iri mo ga may ni se.»
5He said to them, “Come again to me after three days.” The people departed.
5 A ne i se: «Ne ka guna jirbi hinza, araŋ ma ye ka kaa ay do.» Kala jama tun ka dira.
6King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?”
6 Bonkoono Rehobowam binde na saaware ceeci arkusey do, ngey kaŋ yaŋ kay a baabo Suleymanu jine za a ga funa. A ne i se; «Saaware woofo dumi no araŋ g'ay no kaŋ ay ga tu d'a jama wo se?»
7They spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”
7 I salaŋ a se ka ne: «Da ni na gomni cabe jama wo se, ka naŋ i ma maa kaani, ma baani sanni te i se mo, yaadin gaa kulu i ga ciya ni tamyaŋ hal abada.»
8But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
8 Amma a wangu arkusey saawara kaŋ i te a se. A saaware nda arwasey kaŋ yaŋ nga nd'ey beeri care banda, kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kay a jine.
9He said to them, “What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”
9 A ne i se: «Saaware woofo dumi no araŋ ga no, zama iri ma du ka tu jama wo se kaŋ yaŋ salaŋ da ay ka ne ay se: ‹Ma rongome iri se da calo kaŋ ni baaba dake iri boŋ din gaa.› »
10The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;’ thus you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.
10 Arwasey kaŋ nga nd'ey beeri care banda ne a se: «Haŋ kaŋ ni ga tu d'a jama wo se, kaŋ salaŋ ni se ka ne: ‹Ni baaba na calu tiŋandi iri se, amma nin wo, kala ni m'a dogonandi iri se› -- yaa no ni ga tu d'a i se: ‹Ay kambayze koda bisa ay baaba canta warga yaŋ.
11Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”
11 Ay baaba na calo tiŋandi araŋ boŋ, amma ay wo, ay ga tonton a gaa. Ay baaba na araŋ gooji nda barzu, amma ay wo, daŋyaŋ no ay g'araŋ gooji nd'a.› »
12So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, “Come to me again the third day.”
12 Yerebowam binde, nga nda jama kulu kaa Rehobowam do zaari hinzanta hane, sanda mate kaŋ cine bonkoono lordi, kaŋ a ne: «Zaari hinzanta hane araŋ ma ye ka kaa ay do.»
13The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
13 Bonkoono tu i se da futay. Bonkoono Rehobowam binde na arkusey saawara furu,
14and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”
14 amma a salaŋ i se arwasey saawara boŋ ka ne: «Ay baaba na calu tiŋandi araŋ gaa, amma ay wo ga tonton a gaa. Ay baaba na araŋ gooji nda barzu, amma ay wo, daŋyaŋ no ay ga araŋ gooji nd'a.»
15So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that Yahweh might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
15 Bonkoono binde mana maa jama se, zama yaadin no Irikoy waadu, Rabbi ma nga sanno kaŋ a ci Yerebowam Nebat izo se Ahiya Silon bora me ra din tabbatandi.
16When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So all Israel departed to their tents.
16 Waato kaŋ Israyla kulu di kaŋ bonkoono mana maa ngey se, jama tu bonkoono se ka ne: «Baa woofo no iri se binde Dawda do? Iri sinda tubu fo mo Yasse izo do. Ya Israyla, boro fo kulu ma ye nga kwaara do! Ya Dawda, kala ni ma laakal da ni boŋ kunda!» Israyla kulu binde dira ka koy fu.
17But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
17 Amma Israyla izey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Yahuda galley ra ciine ra, Rehobowam n'i may.
18Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
18 Waato din gaa Bonkoono Rehobowam na Hadoram donton, nga kaŋ ga ti doole goyo jine funa. Israyla izey binde n'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ kal a bu. Bonkoono Rehobowam mo cahã ka kaaru nga torka boŋ ka zuru ka koy Urusalima.
19So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
19 Yaadin cine no Israyla murte nd'a Dawda dumo gaa ka kaa hala hunkuna.
