2 Beresosɛm 10
1 Rehoboam kɔɔ Sekem, efisɛ na Israel nyinaa ahyia hɔ sɛ wɔrebesi no hene.
URehobhowamu wasesiya eShekema ngoba uIsrayeli wonke wayeze eShekema ukumbeka abe yinkosi.
2 Bere a Nebat babarima Yeroboam tee sɛ Salomo awu no, ofi Misraim bae, efisɛ oguan fii ɔhene Salomo nsam kɔtenaa Misraim.
Kwasekusithi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati esizwa, owayeseGibhithe lapho ayebalekele khona ubuso bukaSolomoni inkosi, uJerobhowamu wabuya evela eGibhithe.
3 Israel mpanyimfo soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yeroboam, na ɔne Israel nyinaa kɔɔ sɛ wɔne Rehoboam rekɔkasa.
Basebethumela bambiza; uJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke basebesiza, bakhuluma kuRehobhowamu besithi:
4 Wɔkae se, “Wʼagya hyɛɛ yɛn ma yɛyɛɛ adwumaden. Yɛsrɛ wo, tew saa adwumaden ne sonkahiri adesoa duruduru a wʼagya de soaa yɛn no so. Woyɛ saa a, yɛbɛsom wo nokware mu.”
Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba lukhuni; ngakho-ke yenza ube lulanyana umsebenzi kayihlo olukhuni, lejogwe lakhe elinzima abesithwalise lona, njalo sizakukhonza.
5 Rehoboam buae se, “Momma me nnansa na menwene mo asɛm yi ho. Ɛno akyi, mommra mmegye me mmuae.” Enti nnipa no san kɔe.
Wasesithi kibo: Buyani kimi emva kwensuku ezintathu. Abantu basebehamba.
6 Na Ɔhene Rehoboam kɔɔ ne mpanyimfo bi a na wotu nʼagya Salomo fo ne wɔn kosusuw asɛm no ho. Obisaa wɔn se, “Moka asɛm no ho dɛn? Mmuae bɛn na memfa mma saa nnipa yi?”
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasicebisana labadala ababesima phambi kukaSolomoni uyise esaphila, isithi: Licebisa ukubuyisela mpendulo bani kulababantu?
7 Mpanyimfo yi buae se, “Sɛ woyɛ nnipa no yiye, na woyɛ ayamye kyerɛ wɔn ma ɛsɔ wɔn ani a, wɔn nso bɛyɛ wo nkurɔfo nokwafo.”
Basebekhuluma kuye besithi: Uba uzalunga kulababantu, ubathokozise, ukhulume kibo amazwi amahle, bazakuba zinceku zakho insuku zonke.
8 Nanso Rehoboam amfa afotu a mpanyimfo no maa no no. Mmom, ɔkɔɔ nʼatipɛnfo mmabun bi a ɔne wɔn sii so a na wotu no fo no nkyɛn.
Kodwa wadela iseluleko sabadala abamcebisa ngaso, wacebisana lamajaha ayeyintanga yakhe, ayesima phambi kwakhe.
9 Obisaa wɔn se, “Mo nso mo adwene ne dɛn? Mmuae bɛn na memfa nkɔma nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ metew adesoa a mʼagya de soaa wɔn no so?”
Wasesithi kuwo: Licebisa ukuthi sibuyisele mpendulo bani kulababantu, abakhulume kimi besithi: Yenza libe lulanyana ijogwe uyihlo alibeka phezu kwethu?
10 Mmerante no buae se, “Asɛm a ɛsɛ sɛ woka kyerɛ wɔn ne se, ‘Me nsateaa ketewa no mu piw sen mʼagya asen mu. Na sɛ modwene sɛ na ɔyɛ den wɔ mo so a, montwɛn na mubehu sɛnea mete.’
Amajaha ayeyintanga yakhe asekhuluma laye esithi: Uzakutsho njalo ebantwini abakhuluma kuwe besithi: Uyihlo wenza ijogwe lethu laba nzima, kodwa wena lenze libe lulanyana kithi; uzakutsho njalo kubo: Ucikilicane wami uqatha kulokhalo lukababa.
11 Yiw, na mʼagya yɛ den wɔ mo so, nanso me de, mɛyɛ nea ɛkyɛn saa. Sɛ mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me de, mede nkekantwɛre na ɛbɛhwe mo.”
Ngakho-ke ubaba walethwesa ijogwe elinzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela ejogweni lenu. Ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
12 Nnansa akyi no, Yeroboam ne nnipa no nyinaa san baa sɛ wɔrebetie Rehoboam mmuae sɛnea ɔkae no.
Ngakho uJerobhowamu labo bonke abantu beza kuRehobhowamu ngosuku lwesithathu njengokutsho kwenkosi isithi: Libuye kimi futhi ngosuku lwesithathu.
13 Na Rehoboam de ahantan kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wamfa mpanyimfo no afotu,
Inkosi yasibaphendula kalukhuni; inkosi uRehobhowamu yasidela iseluleko sabadala,
14 na ɔfaa mmerante no afotu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Na mʼagya ma moyɛ adwumaden, na me de, mɛkyɛn saa! Sɛ mʼagya kaa mo mpire a, me de, mede nkekantwɛre na ɛbɛhwe mo!”
yakhuluma kubo njengeseluleko samajaha isithi: Ubaba wenza ijogwe lenu laba nzima, kodwa mina ngizakwengezelela kulo; ubaba walijezisa ngeziswepu, kodwa mina ngabofezela.
15 Enti ɔhene no anyɛ nnipa no abisade no ho hwee. Saa nsɛm a esisii yi yɛ Onyankopɔn nhyehyɛe, efisɛ ɛmaa Awurade nkɔm a ɔnam odiyifo Ahiya a ofi Silo no hyɛɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam no baa mu.
Ngokunjalo inkosi kayibalalelanga abantu; ngoba inguquko yayivela kuNkulunkulu ukuze iNkosi iqinise ilizwi layo eyayilikhulume ngesandla sikaAhiya umShilo kuJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati.
16 Bere a Israel huu sɛ ɔhene no anyɛ wɔn abisade amma wɔn no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid ne nʼadedi ntoaso no mfa wɔn ho. Yɛne Yisai babarima no nni twaka biara. Israel, momma yɛnkɔ yɛn afi. Dawid, kɔhwehwɛ wʼankasa wo fi.” Enti Israel nyinaa san kɔɔ fie.
Lapho uIsrayeli wonke ebona ukuthi inkosi kayibalalelanga, abantu bayiphendula inkosi besithi: Silesabelo bani kuDavida? Njalo kasilalifa endodaneni kaJese. Ngulowo emathenteni akho, Israyeli; khathesi, zibonele indlu yakho, Davida. Ngakho uIsrayeli wonke waya emathenteni akhe.
17 Na Rehoboam kɔɔ so dii Israelfo a na wɔtete Yuda nkurow so no so hene.
Kodwa abantwana bakoIsrayeli ababehlala emizini yakoJuda, uRehobhowamu wabusa phezu kwabo.
18 Ɔhene Rehoboam somaa Hadoram a na ɔhwɛ adwumayɛfo so no sɛ ɔnkɔhwɛ mma ɔman no nyɛ dinn, nanso Israelfo no siw no abo kum no. Bere a ɔhene Rehoboam tee saa asɛm no, ntɛm ara, ohuruw tenaa ne teaseɛnam mu, guan kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Inkosi uRehobhowamu yasithuma uAdoramu owayengumphathi wezibhalwa; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebemkhanda ngamatshe, wasesifa. Inkosi uRehobhowamu yaphangisa ukukhwela enqoleni ukubalekela eJerusalema.
19 Israel mmusuakuw a wɔwɔ atifi fam no ampene sɛ Dawid aseni biara bedi wɔn so, de besi nnɛ.
Ngalokho uIsrayeli wayihlamuka indlu kaDavida kuze kube lamuhla.
