2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
Ke Tokosra Rehoboam el sun acn Jerusalem, el pangoneni siofok oalngoul tausin mwet pisrla ke mweun ke sruf lal Benjamin ac Judah. El akoo elan som mweuni sruf lun layen epang in Israel, in folokonak ku lal in leum faclos.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel mwet palu Shemaiah
3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
elan sang kas se inge nu sel Tokosra Rehoboam ac mwet nukewa in sruf lal Judah ac Benjamin:
4 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
“Nik kowos som lain mwet Israel wiowos. Kowos nukewa folokla nu yen suwos an. Ma sikyak ingan ma lungse luk.” Elos akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac tia som mweunel Jeroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Rehoboam el mutana Jerusalem ac sap in kuhlusyukyak siti in acn Judah ac Benjamin inge:
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
Bethzur, Soco, Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fortified cities.
Zorah, Aijalon, ac Hebron.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of food, and of oil and wine.
El oru tuh siti inge in arulana ku, ac el sulela kais sie mwet kol fulat nu in kais sie siti, ac supwala pac mwe mongo ac oil in olive ac wain nu in siti inge nukewa,
12 And in every single city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
ac oayapa mwe loang ac osra. Ouinge el sruokya na acn Judah ac Benjamin in oan ye ku lal.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all their land.
Mwet tol ac mwet Levi tuku liki acn nukewa Israel nu Judah in acn eir.
14 For the Levites left their common lands and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office to the LORD:
Mwet Levi elos sisla ima lalos ac acn saya pac selos, ac som nu Judah ac Jerusalem, mweyen Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel ac mwet kol tokol elos tia lela elos in oru orekma in mwet tol lun LEUM GOD.
15 And he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the demons, and for the calves which he had made.
Jeroboam el srisrngiya mwet tol lal sifacna, in orekma ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, oayapa elos in alu nu sin demon ac ma sruloala ma el orala in oana luman cow mukul.
16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.
Mwet ke kais sie sruf lun Israel su kena yohk in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel elos wi mwet Levi som nu Jerusalem, tuh elos in ku in orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos.
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
Ma se inge akkeye tokosrai lun Judah, ac ke yac tolu mwet inge elos akkeyal Rehoboam, wen natul Solomon, ac elos moul oana ke elos moul ye koko lal Tokosra David ac Tokosra Solomon.
18 And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
Rehoboam el payukyak sel Mahalath, su papa tumal pa Jerimoth wen natul David, ac nina kial pa Abihail, acn natul Eliab su nutin natul Jesse.
19 Who bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
Oasr wen tolu natultal: Jeush, Shemariah, ac Zaham.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Tok kutu el payukyak sel Maacah, acn natul Absalom, ac oasr wen akosr natultal: Abijah, Attai, Ziza, ac Shelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and sixty daughters.)
Oasr mutan singoul oalkosr kial, ac mutan kulansap onngoul kial, ac el papa tumun wen longoul oalkosr ac acn onngoul. Inmasrlon mutan kial ac mutan kulansap kial, el lungse yohk Maacah.
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
El kuloel Abijah, wen natul Maacah, yohk liki nukewa wen natul saya, ac el sulella mu el pa ac aolul in tokosra.
23 And he dealt wisely, and distributed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. And he desired many wives.
Rehoboam el lalmwetmet ke el sang orekma kunen wen natul inge, ac oakelosi ke siti nukewa ma el kuhlasak in acn Judah ac Benjamin. Pukanten ma el sang nu selos, ac el oayapa sulela mutan pus kialos.
