< 2 Chronicles 10 >

1 And he went Rehoboam Shechem towards for Shechem they had come all Israel to make king him.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lehopoami ki Sikemi: he ne kuo ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki Sikemi ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi.
2 And it was when heard Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and he [was] in Egypt where he had fled from before Solomon the king and he returned Jeroboam from Egypt.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ongoʻi ia ʻe Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻi ʻIsipite (he naʻe hola ia ki ai mei he ʻao ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi, ) pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Selopoami mei ʻIsipite.
3 And people sent and they summoned him and he came Jeroboam and all Israel and they spoke to Rehoboam saying.
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻo ui ia. Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Selopoami mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻonau lea kia Lehopoami, ʻo pehē,
4 Father your he made hard yoke our and therefore lighten some of [the] labor of father your hard and some of yoke his heavy which he put on us and we will serve you.
“Naʻe fakamamahi ʻemau kavenga, ʻe hoʻo tamai: pea ko eni ke ke fakamaʻamaʻa ʻae ngaahi ngāue mamahi ʻa hoʻo tamai, mo ʻene haʻamonga mamafa ʻaia naʻa ne ʻai kiate kimautolu, pea te mau tauhi koe.”
5 And he said to them again three days and return to me and it went the people.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou toe haʻu kiate au ʻoka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kakai.
6 And he consulted the king Rehoboam with the elders who they had been standing before Solomon father his when was he alive saying how? [are] you counseling to bring back to the people this word.
Pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻae tuʻi ko Lehopoami mo e kau mātuʻa naʻe tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Solomone ko ʻene tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā hoʻomou fakakaukau ki ha lea ke tali ʻaki ʻae kakai ni?
7 And they spoke to him saying if you will become good to the people this and you will be favorable to them and you will speak to them words kind and they will be of you servants all the days.
Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke angaʻofa ki he kakai ni, pea ke fakafiemālie ʻakinautolu, mo ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea lelei kiate kinautolu, pea te nau hoko ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata.”
8 And he abandoned [the] counsel of the elders which they had counseled him and he consulted with the youths who they had grown up with him who stood before him.
Ka naʻe liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakakaukau naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻe he kau mātuʻa, pea fakakaukau ia mo e kau talavou naʻe toʻutangata mo kaumeʻa mo ia, pea nau tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao.
9 And he said to them what? [are] you counseling and we may bring back word the people this who they have spoken to me saying lighten some of the yoke which he put father your on us.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā homou loto ʻomoutolu ki he tali ʻe fai ki he kakai ni,” ʻaia kuo nau lea mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakamaʻamaʻa siʻi ʻae haʻamonga ʻaia naʻe ʻai ʻe hoʻo tamai kiate kimautolu?”
10 And they spoke with him the youths who they had grown up with him saying thus you will say to the people which they have spoken to you saying father your he made heavy yoke our and you lighten from on us thus you will say to them little finger my it is thick more than [the] loins of father my.
Pea naʻe lea kiate ia ʻae kau talavou ʻa ia naʻe tupu hake mo kaumeʻa mo ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke tali pehē ʻae kakai naʻe lea kiate koe, ʻo pehē, naʻe fakamamafa ʻemau kavenga ʻe hoʻo tamai, ka ke fakamaʻamaʻa siʻi ia ʻe koe maʻamautolu: te ke tala ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻE lahi hoku louhiʻi nima siʻi ʻi he kongaloto ʻo ʻeku tamai.’
11 And therefore father my he loaded on you a yoke heavy and I I will add to yoke your father my he disciplined you with whips and I with scorpions.
He koeʻuhi, ‘Naʻe ʻai ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻae haʻamonga mamafa kiate kimoutolu, te u fakalahi ki hoʻomou haʻamonga: naʻe kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻaki ʻae meʻa kinisi, ka te u kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi sikopio.’”
12 And he came Jeroboam and all the people to Rehoboam on the day third just as he had spoken the king saying return to me on the day third.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Selopoami mo e kakai kotoa pē kia Lehopoami ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Toe haʻu kiate au ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho.”
13 And he answered them the king hard and he abandoned the king Rehoboam [the] counsel of the elders.
Pea naʻe lea mālohi ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe liʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻae fakakaukau ʻae kau mātuʻa,
14 And he spoke to them according to [the] counsel of the young men saying I will make heavy yoke your and I I will add to it father my he disciplined you with whips and I with scorpions.
Pea ne talia ʻakinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki ke fakakaukau ʻoe kau talavou, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakamamafa hoʻomou haʻamonga ʻe heʻeku tamai, ka te u fakalahi ki ai: naʻe kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kinisi, ka te u kinisi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi sikopio.”
15 And not he listened the king to the people for it was a turn from with God so as to establish Yahweh word his which he had spoken by [the] hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi ki he kakai: he naʻe mei he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻene folofola, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ia ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo, kia Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati.
16 And all Israel that not he had listened the king to them and they brought back the people the king - saying what? [belongs] to us portion in David and not an inheritance in [the] son of Jesse everyone to tents your O Israel now consider own house your O David and it went all Israel to tents its.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, naʻe lea ʻae kakai ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā hamau ʻinasi ʻia Tevita? Pea ʻoku ʻikai hamau tofiʻa ʻi he foha ʻo Sese: ʻE ʻIsileli, ke taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale fehikitaki: pea ko eni, ʻa Tevita vakai ki ho fale ʻoʻou.” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
17 And [the] people of Israel who were dwelling in [the] cities of Judah and he reigned over them Rehoboam.
Ka koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, naʻe pule ʻa Lehopoami kiate kinautolu.
18 And he sent the king Rehoboam Hadoram who [was] over the forced labor and they stoned him [the] people of Israel stone[s] and he died and the king Rehoboam he proved himself strong to go up in the chariot to flee Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Lehopoami ʻa ʻAtolami ʻaia naʻe pule ki he tukuhau: pea naʻe tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea pekia ai ia. Ka naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Lehopoami ke heka ki heʻene saliote, ke hola ki Selūsalema.
19 And they have rebelled Israel against [the] house of David until the day this.
Pea kuo angatuʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fale ʻo Tevita ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
