2 Chronicles 11
1 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
Rehobhoamu paakasvika muJerusarema, akakurudzira imba yaJudha naBhenjamini, varume zviuru zana namakumi masere zvavarwi, kuti varwisane neIsraeri vatorezve umambo hwaRehobhoamu.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Asi shoko iri raJehovha rakasvika kuna Shemaya munhu waMwari richiti,
3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Udza Rehobhoamu mwanakomana waSoromoni mambo weJudha navaIsraeri vose vari muJudha neBhenjamini, uti,
4 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers. Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Musaenda kunorwisana nehama dzenyu; endai kumba, mumwe nomumwe wenyu, nokuti uku kuita kwangu.’” Saka vakateerera mashoko aJehovha vakadzoka kubva mukuda kundorwisana naJerobhoamu.
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
Rehobhoamu akagara muJerusarema akavaka maguta okuzvidzivirira muJudha aiti:
6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bheterehema, Etami, Tekoa,
7 Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
Bheti Zuri, Soko, Adhuramu,
8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gati, Maresha, Zifi,
9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adhoraimi, Rakishi, Azeka,
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
Zora, Aijaroni neHebhuroni. Aya ndiwo aiva maguta enhare muJudha neBhenjamini.
11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine.
Akasimbisa nhare dzawo akaisa vakuru vehondo maari, nezvokudya zvizhinji, mafuta omuorivhi newaini.
12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
Akaisa nhoo namapfumo mumaguta ose, akaaita kuti ave akasimba kwazvo. Saka Judha neBhenjamini vaiva vake.
13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border.
Vaprista navaRevhi kubva kumatunhu ose muIsraeri yose vaiva kurutivi rwake.
14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office to the LORD;
Vaprista navaRevhi vakatosiya mafuro ezvipfuwo zvavo nemidziyo yavo vakauya kuJudha neJerusarema nokuti Jerobhoamu navanakomana vake vakanga vavaramba savaprista vaJehovha.
15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.
Uye iye akagadza vaprista vake pachake akavaisa panzvimbo dzakakwirira uye nezvifananidzo zvembudzi nezvemhuru zvaakanga agadzira.
16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Vose vaibva kumarudzi ose aIsraeri vakaisa mwoyo yavo pakutsvaga Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, vakatevera vaRevhi kuJerusarema kuti vandopa zvibayiro kuna Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba avo.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
Vakasimbisa umambo hwaJudha vakatsigira Rehobhoamu mwanakomana waSoromoni kwamakore matatu, vachifamba munzira dzaDhavhidhi naSoromoni panguva iyoyi.
18 Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehobhoamu akawana Maharati aiva mwanasikana womwanakomana waDhavhidhi ainzi Jerimoti uye waAbhihairi mwanasikana womwanakomana waJese ainzi Eriabhi.
19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Akamuberekera vanakomana vaiti, Jeushi, Shemaria naZahamu.
20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Ipapo akawana Maaka mwanasikana waAbhusaromu akamuberekera Abhija, Atai, Ziza naSheromiti.
21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his secondary wives: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty secondary wives, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
Rehobhoamu aida Maaka mwanasikana waAbhusaromu kupfuura vamwe vakadzi vake navarongo vake vose. Pamwe chete aiva navakadzi gumi navasere, navarongo makumi matanhatu, vanakomana makumi maviri navasere, navanasikana makumi matanhatu.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.
Rehobhoamu akagadza Abhija mwanakomana waMaaka kuti ave muchinda mukuru pakati pavana vababa vake kuitira kuti azova mambo.
23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives.
Akaita zvakachenjera akaparadzira vamwe vavanakomana vake mumatunhu ose eJudha neBhenjamini nokumaguta ose enhare. Akavapa zvinhu zvizhinji akavawanira vakadzi vakawanda.
