وَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَحُبْعَامُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، جَمَعَ مِنْ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ مُخْتَارٍ مُحَارِبٍ لِيُحَارِبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَرُدَّ ٱلْمُلْكَ إِلَى رَحُبْعَامَ. ١ 1
When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were soldiers, to fight against Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
وَكَانَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى شَمْعِيَا رَجُلِ ٱللهِ قَائِلًا: ٢ 2
But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
«كَلِّمْ رَحُبْعَامَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ قَائِلًا: ٣ 3
“Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَصْعَدُوا وَلَا تُحَارِبُوا إِخْوَتَكُمْ. ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِي صَارَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ». فَسَمِعُوا لِكَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَرَجَعُوا عَنِ ٱلذَّهَابِ ضِدَّ يَرُبْعَامَ. ٤ 4
'Yahweh says this, “You must not attack or make war against your brothers. Everyone must return to his own house, for I have caused this to happen.”'” So they obeyed the words of Yahweh and turned back from attacking Jeroboam.
وَأَقَامَ رَحُبْعَامُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَبَنَى مُدُنًا لِلْحِصَارِ فِي يَهُوذَا. ٥ 5
Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built cities in Judah for defense.
فَبَنَى بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ وَعِيطَامَ وَتَقُوعَ ٦ 6
He built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
وَبَيْتَ صُورَ وَسُوكُوَ وَعَدُلَّامَ ٧ 7
Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam,
وَجَتَّ وَمَرِيشَةَ وَزِيفَ ٨ 8
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
وَأَدُورَايِمَ وَلَخِيشَ وَعَزِيقَةَ ٩ 9
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
وَصَرْعَةَ وَأَيَّلُونَ وَحَبْرُونَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً. ١٠ 10
Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron. These are fortified cities in Judah and Benjamin.
وَشَدَّدَ ٱلْحُصُونَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا قُوَّادًا وَخَزَائِنَ مَأْكَلٍ وَزَيْتٍ وَخَمْرٍ ١١ 11
He fortified the fortresses and put commanders in them, with stores of food, oil, and wine.
وَأَتْرَاسًا فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ وَرِمَاحًا، وَشَدَّدَهَا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا، وَكَانَ لَهُ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ. ١٢ 12
He put shields and spears in all the cities and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَثَلُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ تُخُومِهِمْ، ١٣ 13
The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel went over to him from within their borders.
لِأَنَّ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ تَرَكُوا مَسَارِحَهُمْ وَأَمْلَاكَهُمْ وَٱنْطَلَقُوا إِلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّ يَرُبْعَامَ وَبَنِيهِ رَفَضُوهُمْ مِنْ أَنْ يَكْهَنُوا لِلرَّبِّ ١٤ 14
For the Levites left their pasturelands and property in order to come to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had driven them away, so that they could no longer perform priestly duties for Yahweh.
وَأَقَامَ لِنَفْسِهِ كَهَنَةً لِلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ وَلِلتُّيُوسِ وَلِلْعُجُولِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ. ١٥ 15
Jeroboam appointed for himself priests for the high places and the goat and calf idols he had made.
وَبَعْدَهُمْ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَجَّهُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ إِلَى طَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَذْبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِمْ. ١٦ 16
People from all the tribes of Israel came after them, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel; they came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
وَشَدَّدُوا مَمْلَكَةَ يَهُوذَا وَقَوَّوْا رَحُبْعَامَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا فِي طَرِيقِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. ١٧ 17
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam son of Solomon strong during three years, and they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
وَٱتَّخَذَ رَحُبْعَامُ لِنَفْسِهِ ٱمْرَأَةً: مَحْلَةَ بِنْتَ يَرِيمُوثَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، وَأَبِيحَايِلَ بِنْتَ أَلِيآبَ بْنِ يَسَّى. ١٨ 18
Rehoboam took a wife for himself: Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, David's son, and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, Jesse's son.
فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ بَنِينَ: يَعُوشَ وَشَمَرْيَا وَزَاهَمَ. ١٩ 19
She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
ثُمَّ بَعْدَهَا أَخَذَ مَعْكَةَ بِنْتَ أَبْشَالُومَ، فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ: أَبِيَّا وَعَتَّايَ وَزِيزَا وَشَلُومِيثَ. ٢٠ 20
After Mahalath, Rehoboam took Maacah, Absalom's daughter; she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
وَأَحَبَّ رَحُبْعَامُ مَعْكَةَ بِنْتَ أَبْشَالُومَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ نِسَائِهِ وَسَرَارِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱتَّخَذَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشَرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَسِتِّينَ سُرِّيَّةً، وَوَلَدَ ثَمَانِيَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ٱبْنًا وَسِتِّينَ ٱبْنَةً. ٢١ 21
Rehoboam loved Maacah, Absalom's daughter, more than all his other wives and his concubines (he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).
وَأَقَامَ رَحُبْعَامُ أَبِيَّا ٱبْنَ مَعْكَةَ رَأْسًا وَقَائِدًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ لِكَيْ يُمَلِّكَهُ. ٢٢ 22
Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah to be chief, a leader among his brothers; he had the thought of making him king.
وَكَانَ فَهِيمًا، وَفَرَّقَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَنِيهِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرَاضِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ زَادًا بِكَثْرَةٍ. وَطَلَبَ نِسَاءً كَثِيرَةً. ٢٣ 23
Rehoboam ruled wisely; he scattered all his sons throughout all the land of Judah and Benjamin to every fortified city. He also gave them food in abundance and looked for many wives for them.
