1When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

2But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
2 Amma Rabbi sanno kaa Irikoy bora Semaya do ka ne:
2But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
3 «Ma salaŋ Yahuda bonkoono Rehobowam Suleymanu izo da Israyla kulu kaŋ go Yahuda da Benyamin ra mo se ka ne:
3Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4‘Thus says Yahweh, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
4 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Araŋ ma si ziji fa! Araŋ ma si wongu mo d'araŋ nya-izey. Boro fo kulu ma ye nga kwaara, zama woone wo, ay do no a fun.» I binde maa Rabbi sanno se. I ye, i mana wongu nda Yerebowam koyne.
4Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
14For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to Yahweh;

21Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
21 Rehobowam binde ga ba Maaka Absalom ize wayo ka bisa nga wande cindey da wahayey kulu. (Zama a na wande way cindi ahakku hiiji, da wahay waydu. A hay ize alboro waranka cindi ahakku, da ize wayboro waydu.)
