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.
1 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Rehobowam mayra sinji, a gonda gaabi mo, kal a fay da Rabbi asariya, nga nda Israyla kulu nga banda.
2It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
2 Bonkoono Rehobowam mayra jiiri guwanta ra binde, za kaŋ Yahuda murte Rabbi gaa, kala Misira bonkoono Sisak kande Urusalima gaa wongu.
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.
3 A kande torko zambar fo da zangu hinka, da bari-kari zambar waydu. Borey kaŋ yaŋ kaa a banda ka fun Misira mo sinda me, ngey da Libi laabu borey, da Sukkim laabu borey, da Etiyopi borey.
4He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
4 A na Yahuda galley kaŋ gonda wongu cinarey ŋwa, ka kaa Urusalima mo.
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.’”
5 Kala annabi Semaya kaa Rehobowam da Yahuda mayraykoyey do kaŋ yaŋ margu Urusalima Sisak sabbay se. A ne i se: «Yaa no Rabbi ci: Araŋ n'ay naŋ. Woodin se no ay na araŋ naŋ Sisak kambe ra.»
6Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
6 Waato din gaa no Israyla mayraykoyey na ngey boŋ kaynandi ka ne: «Rabbi ya adilitaraykoy no.»
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.
7 Saaya kaŋ Rabbi di i na ngey boŋ kaynandi, Rabbi sanno ye ka kaa koyne Semaya do ka ne: «I na ngey boŋ kaynandi. Ay mo ay s'i halaci, amma ay ga yadda k'i faaba d'a te alwaati kayna. Ay futa si gusam Urusalima boŋ Sisak kambe ra.
8Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
8 Kulu nda yaadin, i ga goro ka ciya a tamyaŋ, zama i ma ay se tamtaray da ndunnya koytaray se tamtaray bay ka fayanka.»
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.
9 Misira bonkoono Sisak binde kaa ka Urusalima wongu. Rabbi windo ra jinayyaŋ kaŋ gonda darza da bonkoono windo ra jinayyaŋ kaŋ gonda darza, a n'i kulu ku hala nda wura korayey kaŋ Suleymanu te.
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.
10 Rehobowam binde na guuru-say korayyaŋ te ka daŋ yongo waney din gurbey ra. A n'i daŋ bonkoono windi me batukoy jine borey kambe ra.
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.
11 A ciya mo, waati kaŋ bonkoono ga furo Rabbi windo ra, kala batukoy ma koy k'i sambu ka kande, gaa no i ma ye ka kond'ey koyne ka jisi batukoy fuwo ra.
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.
12 Waato kaŋ Rehobowam na nga boŋ kaynandi, kala Rabbi futa mo hibi ka fun a boŋ, kaŋ ga naŋ a s'a halaci parkatak. Hala ka kaa sohõ mo, i na muraadu fooyaŋ gar Yahuda ra kaŋ yaŋ ga boori.
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.
13 Bonkoono Rehobowam binde na nga boŋ gaabandi Urusalima ra ka mayray te. Rehobowam gonda jiiri waytaaci cindi fo waato kaŋ a na nga mayra sintin. A may jiiri way cindi iyye Urusalima ra, gallo kaŋ Rabbi suuban Israyla kundey kulu ra zama nga ma nga maa daŋ a ra. Rehobowam nyaŋo maa ga ti Naama, Amon boro no.
14He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
14 A na goy laalo te, zama a mana nga bina daŋ ka Rabbi ceeci.
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.
15 Rehobowam goyey binde, sintinay wano ka koy kokor banda wano, manti i n'i hantum annabi Semaya tira ra, da Iddo kaŋ ga fonnay wano mo ra bo, asuley lasaabuyaŋ alaada boŋ? Rehobowam da Yerebowam care wonguyaŋey di i fundey me.
16Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
16 Rehobowam kani nga kaayey banda, i n'a fiji Dawda birno ra mo. A izo Abiya te bonkooni a nango ra.
