2 Chronicles 12

1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a fi ìjọba Rehoboamu múlẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba, tí ó sì ti di alágbára, òun àti gbogbo Israẹli, pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ni wọ́n pa òfin Olúwa tì.

And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

2 Nítorí tí wọn kò ṣọ òtítọ́ sí Olúwa. Ṣiṣaki ọba Ejibiti dojúkọ Jerusalẹmu ní ọdún karùn-ún ti ọba Rehoboamu.

And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)

3 Pẹ̀lú ẹgbàá mẹ́fà kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ta àwọn ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin àti àìníye ọ̀wọ́ ogun ti Libia, Sukki àti Kuṣi, tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ láti Ejibiti.

With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.

4 Ó fi agbára mú àwọn ìlú ààbò ti Juda, pẹ̀lú wá sí Jerusalẹmu bí ó ti jìnnà tó.

And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Nígbà náà, wòlíì Ṣemaiah wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu àti sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olórí Juda tí wọ́n ti péjọ ní Jerusalẹmu nítorí ìbẹ̀rù Ṣiṣaki, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ìwọ ti pa mí tì; nítorí náà èmi náà ti pa yín tì sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ṣiṣaki.”

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.

6 Àwọn olórí Israẹli àti ọba rẹ̀ ará wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Olódodo ni Olúwa.”

And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.

7 Nígbà tí Olúwa rí i pé, wọ́n ti rẹ̀ ara wọn sílẹ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa yí tọ Ṣemaiah lọ pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí wọ́n ti rẹ ara wọn sílẹ̀, Èmi kì yóò pa wọ́n ṣùgbọ́n, yóò fún wọn ní ìtúsílẹ̀ tó bá yá. Ìbínú mi kì yóò dà sórí Jerusalẹmu ní ipasẹ̀ Ṣiṣaki.

And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.

8 Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, wọn yóò sìn ní abẹ́ rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè mọ̀ ìyàtọ̀ láàrín sí sìn mí àti sí sin àwọn ọba ilẹ̀ mìíràn.”

But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.

9 Nígbà tí Ṣiṣaki ọba Ejibiti dojúkọ Jerusalẹmu, ó gbé àwọn ìṣúra ilé Olúwa, àti àwọn ìṣúra ààfin ọba. Ó gbé gbogbo rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn àpáta wúrà tí Solomoni dá.

So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,

10 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ọba Rehoboamu dá àwọn àpáta idẹ láti fi dípò wọn, ó sì fi èyí lé àwọn alákòóso àti olùṣọ́ tí ó wà ní ẹnu iṣẹ́ ní àbáwọlé ẹnu-ọ̀nà ààfin ọba lọ́wọ́.

Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.

11 Ìgbàkígbà tí ọba bá lọ sí ilé Olúwa, àwọn olùṣọ́ n lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n ń gbé àwọn àpáta náà àti lẹ́yìn, wọ́n dá wọn padà sí yàrá ìṣọ́.

And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.

12 Nítorí ti Rehoboamu rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ìbínú Olúwa yí padà kúrò lórí rẹ̀, a kò sì pa á run pátápátá. Nítòótọ́, ìre díẹ̀ wà ní Juda.

But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.

13 Ọba Rehoboamu fi ara rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ gidigidi ní Jerusalẹmu, ó sì tẹ̀síwájú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba. Ó jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mọ́kànlélógójì nígbà tí ó di ọba. Ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún mẹ́tàdínlọ́gbọ̀n ní Jerusalẹmu, ìlú ńlá tí Olúwa ti yàn jáde kúrò nínú gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli ní èyí tí ó fẹ́ fi orúkọ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Naama, ará Ammoni.

King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.

14 O sì ṣe búburú, nítorí tí kò múra nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ láti wá Olúwa.

But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

15 Fún tí iṣẹ́ ìjọba Rehoboamu láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ dé ìparí, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìrántí ti Ṣemaiah wòlíì àti ti Iddo, aríran tí ó ní ṣe pẹ̀lú ìtàn ìdílé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba ńlá? Ìtẹ̀síwájú ogun jíjà sì wà láàrín Rehoboamu àti Jeroboamu.

Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.

16 Rehoboamu sun pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ a sin ín sínú ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Abijah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
