2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboamu sì lọ sí Ṣekemu nítorí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti lọ síbẹ̀ láti fi jẹ ọba.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king.
2 Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati gbọ́ ẹni ti ó wà ní Ejibiti, níbi tí ó ti sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọba Solomoni ó sì padà láti Ejibiti.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà náà ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Jeroboamu àti òun àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu wọ́n sì wí fún pé,
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà tí ó wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìwọ mú un fúyẹ́, iṣẹ́ líle àti àjàgà wúwo tí ó gbé ka orí wa, àwa yóò sì sìn ọ́.”
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehoboamu sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn náà sì lọ.
And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
6 Nígbà náà ni ọba Rehoboamu fi ọ̀ràn lọ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó ti ń sin baba rẹ̀ Solomoni nígbà ayé rẹ̀, ó sì bi wọ́n léèrè pe, “Báwo ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe gbà mí ní ìmọ̀ràn láti dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lóhùn?”
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 Wọ́n sì dáhùn, “Tí ìwọ yóò bá ṣe rere sí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kí o sì ṣe ìre fún wọn, kí o sì fún wọn ní ìdáhùn rere, wọn yóò sì máa jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nígbà gbogbo.”
And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Rehoboamu kọ ìmọ̀ràn náà tí àwọn àgbàgbà fi fún un, ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ lọ àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin tí ó ti dàgbàsókè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ń dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 Ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Kí ni ìmọ̀ràn yín? Báwo ni kí a ṣe dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú kí àjàgà tí baba rẹ gbé lé wa kí ó fúyẹ́ díẹ̀.’”
And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father put upon us?
10 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé tí ó ti dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ dá a lóhùn pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wí fún ọ wí pé, ‘Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n mú àjàgà wa fúyẹ́,’ wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ìka ọwọ́ mi kékeré, ó nípọn ju ìbàdí baba mi lọ.
And the young men that were brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s thighs.
11 Baba mi gbé àjàgà wúwo ka orí yín; èmi yóò sì tún mú kí ó wúwo sì í. Baba mi fi pàṣán nà yín; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.’”
For though my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta Jeroboamu àti gbogbo ènìyàn sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti sọ, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi ní ọjọ́ kẹta.”
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king appointed, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Nígbà náà ni ọba dá wọn lóhùn ní ọ̀nà líle. Rehoboamu ọba sì kọ̀ ìmọ̀ràn àwọn àgbàgbà sílẹ̀,
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 Ó sì tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé, ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi mú kí àjàgà yín wúwo; èmi yóò sì mú kí ó wúwo jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ. Baba mi nà yín pẹ̀lú pàṣán; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.”
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba kò sì fetísí àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni. Láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣẹ tí a ti sọ fún Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati nípasẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo.
So the king hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli rí i wí pé ọba kọ̀ láti gbọ́ tiwọn, wọ́n sì dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Ìpín kí ní a ní nínú Dafidi, ìní wo ni a ní nínú ọmọ Jese? Ẹ lọ sí àgọ́ yín, ẹ̀yin Israẹli! Bojútó ilé rẹ, ìwọ Dafidi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ sí ilé wọn.
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ń gbé ní ìlú Juda, Rehoboamu ń jẹ ọba lórí wọn.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Ọba Rehoboamu rán Adoniramu jáde, ẹni tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ iṣẹ́ onírúurú, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa. Ọba Rehoboamu, gbìyànjú láti dé inú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì sálọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the forced labour; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Israẹli sì wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ lórí ilé Dafidi títí fi di òní yìí.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
