2 Chronicles 12

1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Lehopoami ʻae puleʻanga, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia, naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova, pea pehē mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

2 And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono taʻu ʻe nima ʻoe tuʻi ko Lehopoami naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai talangataʻa kia Sihova,

3 With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites.

Mo e saliote ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi ʻe toko ono mano: pea naʻe taʻefaʻalaua ʻae kakai naʻe ʻalu hake mo ia mei ʻIsipite: ʻae kakai Lipea, mo e kakai Sukimi, mo e kakai ʻItiopea.

4 And he took the fortified cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

Pea naʻa ne kapa ʻae ngaahi kolotau naʻe kau ki Siuta, ʻo ne haʻu ki Selūsalema.

5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah, that were assembled at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻaia Simaia ko e palōfita kia Lehopoami, pea ki he houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe kātoa fakataha ki Selūsalema ko e meʻa ia Sisaki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘Kuo mou liʻaki au, pea ko ia kuo u liʻaki ai foki ʻakimoutolu ki he nima ʻo Sisaki.’”

6 Upon which the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.

Ko ia naʻe fakavaivai ai ʻakinautolu ʻae houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsileli mo e tuʻi: pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku tonuhia ʻa Sihova.”

7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Simaia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ka te u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamoʻui ʻo fuoloa siʻi: pea ʻe ʻikai lingi ʻeku ʻita lahi ki Selūsalema ʻi he nima ʻo Sisaki.

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

Ka ko e moʻoni te nau hoko ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻeku ngāue, mo e ngāue ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe ngaahi fonua.”

9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

Ko ia naʻe hoko mai ʻa Sisaki ʻo tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻe ʻave mo ia ʻae ngaahi koloa mei he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi: naʻa ne ʻave kotoa pē: naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi pā koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone.

10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Lehopoami ʻae ngaahi pā palasa ke fetongi ia, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he matāpule ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻe leʻohi ʻae hūʻanga ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.

11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard-chamber.

Pea ʻi he hū ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻa Sihova, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau leʻo ʻo fetuku ia ki ai pea naʻe toe ʻomi ia mei ai ki he fale ʻoe kau leʻo.

12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

Pea ʻi heʻene fakaangavaivai ia, naʻe tafoki meiate ia ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia: pea naʻe hoko foki ʻae lelei ʻi Siuta.

13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.

Ko ia naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia ʻe Lehopoami ʻi Selūsalema, pea pule ia: he naʻe fāngofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe taha ʻae motuʻa ʻo Lehopoami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu ʻi Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tuku ki ai hono huafa. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama, ko e fefine ʻAmoni.

14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

Pea naʻe fai kovi ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne teuteu hono loto ke kumi kia Sihova.

15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogies? And [there were] wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Lehopoami ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Simaia ko e palōfita, pea mo Ito ko e tangata kikite, ki he ngaahi hohoko? Pea naʻe fai maʻu ʻae fetauʻaki ʻa Lehopoami mo Selopoami.

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

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Lehopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻApisa.
