Luo Chronicle 10
1 Rehoboam el som nu Shechem, yen mwet nukewa epang in Israel elos fahsreni nu we in oru tuh elan tokosrala.
And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for [to] Shechem have all Israel come to cause him to reign.
2 Ke Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, su tuh som nu Egypt in kaing lukel Tokosra Solomon, el lohng pweng se inge, na el folokla nu yen sel.
And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's — who [is] in Egypt because he hath fled from the face of Solomon the king — hearing, that Jeroboam turneth back out of Egypt;
3 Mwet in sruf epang elos sapla solal, ac elos nukewa tukeni som nu yorol Rehoboam ac fahk nu sel,
and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam cometh in, and all Israel, and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Papa tomom ah tuh use mwe utuk na toasr nu facsr. Tusruktu kom fin akfusrasryela mwe utuk inge, na kut ac fah mwet kulansap pwaye nu sum.”
'Thy father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [somewhat] of the sharp service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'
5 Na Rehoboam el fahk, “Se nu sik len tolu nga in nunku kac, na kowos fah sifil foloko.” Ouinge mwet uh som.
And he saith unto them, 'Yet three days — then return ye unto me;' and the people go.
6 Tokosra Rehoboam el siyuk sin mwet matu su tuh mwet kasru lal Solomon, papa tumal, ac fahk, “Top fuka kowos nunku mu fal nga in sang topuk siyuk lun mwet inge?”
And king Rehoboam consulteth with the aged men who have been standing before Solomon his father in his being alive, saying, 'How are ye counselling to answer this people?'
7 Elos topuk ac fahk, “Kom fin kulang nu sin mwet ingan ac akinsewowoyalos ac sulela sie top wowo an nu selos, na elos ac fah oaru in kulansupwekom pacl nukewa.”
And they speak unto him, saying, 'If thou dost become good to this people, and hast been pleased with them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.'
8 Tusruktu el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac som nu yurin mwet fusr su nuna welul ke elos tulik ah me, ac inge el oru mu elos pa mwet kasru lal.
And he forsaketh the counsel of the aged men that they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
9 El siyuk selos, “Mea kowos nunku mu wo nga in oru? Ke mwet uh siyuk ngan akmulalaye enu lalos uh, mea nga ac fahk nu selos?”
and he saith unto them, 'What are ye counselling, and we answer this people that have spoken unto me, saying, Make light [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?'
10 Elos topuk, “Pa inge ma kom ac fahk nu selos an: ‘Kuf srisrik soko ke pouk uh yohk liki infulwen papa tumuk ah.’
And the lads who have grown up with him, speak with him, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make light [somewhat] of our yoke; thus dost thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
11 Fahk nu selos mu, ‘Papa tumuk el sot enu toasr nu fowos, a nga ac sot in toasr liki. El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga fah sringil kowos ke scorpion!’”
and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I — I add unto your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'
12 Tukun len tolu, Jeroboam ac mwet nukewa folokla nu yorol Rehoboam, oana ke el tuh fahk nu selos ah.
And Jeroboam cometh in, and all the people, unto Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spake, saying, 'Return unto me on the third day.'
13 Tokosra el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, a el kaskas upa nu sin mwet uh.
And the king answereth them sharply, and king Rehoboam forsaketh the counsel of the aged men,
14 El fahk oana ke mwet fusr wial elos fahk, “Papa tumuk el sot enu toasr nu fowos, a nga ac sot in toasr liki! El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke sucl lulap!”
and speaketh unto them according to the counsel of the lads, saying, 'My father made your yoke heavy, and I — I add unto it; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'
15 Pa ingan ma lungse lun LEUM GOD in akpwayeye ma El tuh fahk nu sel Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, in kas lun mwet palu Ahijah mwet Shiloh. Pa inge sripa se sis tokosra el tiana lohang nu sin mwet uh.
And the king hath not hearkened unto the people, for the revolution hath been from God, for the sake of Jehovah's establishing His word that He spake by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
16 Ke mwet uh liye tuh tokosra el tiana lohngolos, na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Tolulla David ac sou lal! Mea elos nu orala nu sesr? Mwet Israel, kut som nu yen sesr! Lela Rehoboam elan sifacna liyalang!” Ouinge mwet Israel elos orek alein,
And all Israel have seen that the king hath not hearkened to them, and the people send back [to] the king, saying, 'What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; each to thy tents, O Israel; now, see thy house — David,' and all Israel go to their tents.
17 pwanang Rehoboam el tokosra lun mwet ma muta Judah mukena.
As to the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah — Rehoboam reigneth over them.
18 Na Tokosra Rehoboam el supwalla Adoniram, su kol orekma lun mwet kohs, elan som nu yurin mwet Israel, a elos tanglal nwe ke el misa. Ke ma inge, Rehoboam el sulaklak sroang nu fin chariot natul, ac kaingla nu Jerusalem.
And king Rehoboam sendeth Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
19 In pacl sac me, mwet epang in Israel elos alein na nu sin mwet nukewa su leum sin fwilin tulik natul David.
and Israel transgress against the house of David unto this day.
