1 Kane Rehoboam ochopo Jerusalem nochoko dhood Juda gi dhood Benjamin, chwo maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro kendo gidhi giked gi jo-Israel mondo gidwok loch ni Rehoboam.

And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and eighty thousand chosen [men] who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

2 To wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Shemaya ngʼat Nyasaye niya:

But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

3 “Wachne Rehoboam wuod Solomon ruodh Juda kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto modak Juda kod Benjamin,

Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Kik udhi utug lweny gi oweteu ma jo-Israel. Doguru e miechu ngʼato ka ngʼato, nimar ma osetimore nikech an.’” Omiyo negiwinjo wach Jehova Nyasaye mi gidok e miechgi ma ok gidhi kedo kod Jeroboam.

Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

5 Rehoboam nodak Jerusalem kendo nogero mier masiro Juda ndalo lweny kaka:

And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.

6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,

He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adulam,

And Beth-zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,

8 Gath, Maresha, Zif,

And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

9 Adoraim, Lakish, Azeka,

And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

10 Zora, Aijalon, kod Hebron. Magi ne mier mochiel gohinga motegno e piny Juda kod Benjamin.

And Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

11 Nochielogi motegno moketo jotend jolweny kuno kaachiel gi kar kano chiemo, mo zeituni kod divai.

And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of provisions, and of oil and wine.

12 Noketo okumbini kod tonge e miechgi duto kendo nomiyo gibedo motegno. Kuom mano jo-Juda kod jo-Benjamin ne joge.

And in every several city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

13 Jodolo kaachiel gi jo-Lawi manodak kuonde mopogore opogore mag jo-Israel noriwe lwedo.

And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel resorted to him from all their borders.

14 Jo-Lawi nojwangʼo kuondegi mag kweth kod mwandugi kendo negibiro Juda kod Jerusalem nikech Jeroboam gi yawuote noriembogi e tich kaka jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.

For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office to the LORD:

15 Noyiero jodolo mage mag kuonde motingʼore kendo mondo odolne nyiseche manono manoloso e kit diel gi nyaroya.

And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

16 Jogo manoa e dhout jo-Israel mane oketo chunygi kuom dwaro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel, noluoro jo-Lawi nyaka Jerusalem mondo gitim misengini ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.

And after them out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.

17 Ne gitego loch Juda kendo kuom higni adek negimiyo Rehoboam wuod Solomon obedo motegno ka giwuotho e yor Daudi kod Solomon e kindeno.

So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

18 Rehoboam nonywomo Mahalath mane nyar wuod Daudi miluongo ni Jerimoth kendo min mare ne en Abihail ma nyar Eliab wuod Jesse.

And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

19 Nonywolone yawuowi magin Jeush, Shemaria kod Zaham.

Who bore him children, Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

20 Bangʼe nokendo Maaka nyar Abisalom mane onywolone Abija, Atai, Ziza kod Shelomith.

And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

21 Rehoboam nohero Maaka nyar Abisalom moloyo mondege mamoko kod mon mamoko. Ne en kod mon apar gaboro kaachiel gi mon mamoko piero auchiel, bende ne en gi yawuowi piero ariyo gaboro kod nyiri piero auchiel.

And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.)

22 Rehoboam noyiero Abija wuod Maaka obed jatelo e kind owetene mondo omi obed ruoth.

And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] to make him king.

23 Ne otiyo gi rieko kuom keyo yawuote moko e piny jo-Juda kod Benjamin kendo e mier madongo mochiel. Nopogogi mwandu mangʼeny kendo nokendonigi mon mangʼeny.

And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them provisions in abundance. And he desired many wives.
