2 Chronicles 12
1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.
Ary Rehoboama, rehefa nampandry ny ny fanjakany sady efa nahery, dia nahafoy ny lalan’ i Jehovah izy sy ny Isiraely rehetra.
2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy nanjakan-dRehoboama mpanjaka dia niakatra Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hamely an’ i Jerosalema, fa nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah ny mponina tany,
3 with 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.
ary nitondra kalesy roan-jato amby arivo sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly enina alina izy, ary tsy hita isa ny olona izay nanaraka azy avy tany Egypta, dia ny Lobita sy ny Sokita ary ny Etiopiana.
4 He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Dia nahafaka ny tanàna mimanda izay any Joda izy ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
5 Now 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, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
Ary Semaia mpaminany tonga tao amin-dRehoboama sy ireo mpanapaka ny Joda, izay tafangona tany Jerosalema noho ny amin’ i Sisaka, ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianareo efa nahafoy Ahy, koa Izaho kosa dia mba nahafoy anareo ho eo an-tànan’ i Sisaka.
6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
Dia niaiky ireo mpanapaka ny Isiraely sy ny mpanjaka ka nanao hoe: Marina Jehovah.
7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Ary nony hitan’ i Jehovah fa niaiky izy, dia tonga tao amin’ i Semaia indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Efa niaiky izy, ka dia tsy handringana azy Aho, fa tsy ho ela dia hamonjy azy; ary tsy haidiko amin’ i Jerosalema avy amin’ ny tànan’ i Sisaka ny fahatezerako.
8 Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
Kanefa ho mpanompony ihany izy, mba hahafantarany ny fanompoana Ahy sy ny fanompoana any amin’ ny fanjakana hafa.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house 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.
Dia niakatra Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hamely an’ i Jerosalema ka namabo ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka: samy nobaboiny avokoa izy rehetra; ary nobaboiny koa ny ampinga volamena izay nataon’ i Solomona.
10 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka nanao ampinga varahina ho solon’ ireny ka nanolotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina, izay niambina ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
11 As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
Ary na oviana na oviana no nidiran’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia avy ny mpiambina naka ireo ka namerina azy ho ao an-tranon’ ny mpiambina indray.
12 When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
Ary raha nanetry tena izy, dia niala taminy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah ka tsy nahalany ringana azy; sady nisy fahatsaram-panahy koa tamin’ ny Joda.
13 So 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. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka dia nitombo hery tany Jerosalema, ka dia nanjaka; iraika amby efa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary fito ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, ilay tanana nofidin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hampitoerany ny anarany. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Nama Amonita.
14 He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
Ary nanao ratsy izy, satria tsy nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ i Jehovah.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Ary ny tantaran-dRehoboama, na ny voalohany na ny farany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Semaia mpaminany sy Ido mpahita ny amin’ ny firazanana va izany? Ary niady mandrakariva Rehoboama sy Jeroboama.
16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
Ary Rehoboama lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Abia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
