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.
Nígbà tí Rehoboamu dé Jerusalẹmu, ó kó ilé Juda àti Benjamini jọ, ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ènìyàn tí a yàn, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ológun, láti bá Israẹli jà kí ó lè mú ìjọba náà padà bọ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.
2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Ṣemaiah ènìyàn Ọlọ́run wá wí pé,
3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
“Wí fún Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni ọba Juda, sí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní Juda àti Benjamini,
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.
‘Èyí ní ohun tí Olúwa wí. Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ láti lọ jà pẹ̀lú arákùnrin yín, ẹ lọ sílé, gbogbo yín, nítorí ti ìṣe mi nìyí.’” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì padà sẹ́yìn láti yan lọ dojúkọ Jeroboamu.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
Rehoboamu ń gbe ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì kọ́ àwọn ìlú fún olódi ní Juda.
6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Bẹtilẹhẹmu, Etamu, Tekoa,
7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
Beti-Suri, Soko, Adullamu,
8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
Gati, Meraṣa Sifi,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraimu, Lakiṣi, Aseka
10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fortified cities.
Sora, Aijaloni, àti Hebroni. Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ìlú ìdáàbòbò ní Juda àti Benjamini.
11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of food, and of oil and wine.
Ó sì mú àwọn ìlú olódi lágbára, ó sì fi àwọn balógun sínú wọn àti àkójọ oúnjẹ, àti òróró àti ọtí wáìnì.
12 And in every single city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
Àti ní olúkúlùkù ìlú ni ó fi asà àti ọ̀kọ̀ sí, ó sì mú wọn lágbára gidigidi, ó sì ní Juda àti Benjamini lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all their land.
Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi, láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà wọn jákèjádò Israẹli wà ní ẹ̀bá rẹ̀.
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:
Àwọn ará Lefi fi ìgbèríko sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu nítorí Jeroboamu àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ti kọ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà Olúwa.
15 And he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the demons, and for the calves which he had made.
Ó sì yan àwọn àlùfáà tirẹ̀ fún àwọn ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti fún àwọn ère òbúkọ, àti fún ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí ó ṣe.
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.
Àwọn tó wá láti gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli tí wọ́n fi ọkàn wọn fún wíwá Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tẹ̀lé àwọn ará Lefi lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba a wọn.
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.
Ó fún ìjọba Juda ní agbára, ó sì ti Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni lẹ́yìn fún ọdún mẹ́ta nítorí ọdún mẹ́ta ni wọ́n fi rìn ní ọ̀nà ti Dafidi àti Solomoni ní àkókò yí.
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;
Rehoboamu fẹ́ Mahalati tí ó jẹ́ ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Dafidi Jerimoti bi àti ti Abihaili, ọmọbìnrin ti ọmọkùnrin Jese Eliabu bí.
19 Who bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
Ó bí àwọn ọmọ fún un: Jeuṣi, Ṣemariah àti Sahamu.
20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Nígbà náà, ó fẹ́ Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu, tí ó bí Abijah fún Attai, Sisa àti Ṣelomiti.
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.)
Rehoboamu fẹ́ràn Maaka ọmọbìnrin Absalomu ju èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìyàwó rẹ̀ àti àwọn àlè rẹ̀ lọ. Ní gbogbo rẹ̀, ó ní ìyàwó méjìdínlógún àti ọgọ́ta àlè ọmọkùnrin méjìdínlọ́gbọ̀n àti ọgọ́ta ọmọbìnrin.
22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
Rehoboamu yan Abijah ọmọ Maaka láti jẹ́ olóyè ọmọ-aládé láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, kí ó ba à lè ṣe é ní ọba.
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.
Ó hùwà ọlọ́gbọ́n, nípa fí fọ́n díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ jákèjádò ká àwọn agbègbè Juda àti Benjamini àti sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú ńlá olódi. Ó fún wọn ní ọ̀pọ̀ ohun tí wọ́n fẹ́, ó sì fẹ́ ọ̀pọ̀ ìyàwó fún wọn.
