2 Tarihi 12

1 Bayan mulkin Rehobowam ya kahu kamar sarki ya kuma yi ƙarfi, shi da dukan Isra’ila suka yi biris da dokar Ubangiji.

When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.

2 Domin sun yi rashin biyayya ga Ubangiji, saboda haka Shishak sarkin Masar ya yaƙi Urushalima a shekara ta biyar ta Sarki Rehobowam.

In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,

3 Da kekunan yaƙi dubu ɗaya da ɗari biyu da kuma mahayan dawakai dubu haɗe da mayaƙan Libiyawa, Sukkatawa da kuma Kushawa waɗanda suka wuce ƙidaya suka zo tare da shi daga Masar,

with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

4 ya ci biranen katanga na Yahuda har zuwa Urushalima.

He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5 Sai annabi Shemahiya ya zo wurin Rehobowam da kuma wajen shugabannin Yahuda waɗanda suka taru a Urushalima don tsoron Shishak, ya kuma faɗa musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Kun yi biris da ni; saboda haka, yanzu na bashe ku ga Shishak.’”

Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”

6 Shugabannin Isra’ila da sarki suka ƙasƙantar da kansu suka ce, “Ubangiji mai adalci ne.”

Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”

7 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ga sun ƙasƙantar da kansu, sai wannan maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Shemahiya, “Tun da yake sun ƙasƙantar da kansu, to, ba zan hallaka su ba, amma zan cece su, ba zan kwararo fushina ta hannun Shishak a kan Urushalima ba.

When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 Duk da haka za su zama bayinsa, don su san bambanci tsakanin yin mini bauta da kuma yin wa sarakunan sauran ƙasashe bauta.”

Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

9 Da Shishak sarkin Masar ya yaƙi Urushalima, sai ya kwashi ma’ajin haikalin Ubangiji da kuma ma’ajin fadan sarki. Ya kwashe kome da kome, har da garkuwoyin zinariyar da Solomon ya yi.

So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

10 Sai sarki Rehobowam ya ƙera garkuwoyin tagulla a madadin na zinariya, ya sa su a hannun shugabannin matsara na mashigin gidan sarki.

King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.

11 Duk sa’ad da sarki ya tafi haikalin Ubangiji, masu tsaron sukan tafi tare da shi, suna riƙe da garkuwoyi, daga baya kuma su mai da su a ɗakin tsaro.

As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.

12 Gama Rehobowam ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, fushin Ubangiji ya bar shi, ba a kuwa hallaka shi ƙaƙaf ba. Tabbatacce an yi’yan abubuwa masu kyau a Yahuda.

When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.

13 Sarki Rehobowam ya kafa kansa daram a Urushalima, ya kuma ci gaba a matsayin sarki. Yana da shekara arba’in da ɗaya sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha bakwai a Urushalima, birnin da Ubangiji ya zaɓa daga dukan kabilan Isra’ila wanda zai sa Sunansa. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Na’ama ce, ita mutuniyar Ammon ce.

So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

14 Ya aikata mugunta domin bai sa zuciyarsa ga neman Ubangiji ba.

He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.

15 Game da ayyukan mulkin Rehobowam, daga farko zuwa ƙarshe, ba a rubuce suke a tarihin Shemahiya annabi da Iddo mai gani wanda yake zancen zuriyoyi ba? Aka kasance da yaƙe-yaƙe tsakanin Rehobowam da Yerobowam.

Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 Rehobowam ya huta da kakanninsa aka kuma binne shi a Birnin Dawuda. Abiya ɗansa kuma ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.

Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
