2 Tantara 11
1 Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema Rehoboama, dia novoriny ny taranak’ i Joda sy Benjamina, dia miaramila valo alina amby iray hetsy voafantina, hiady amin’ ny Isiraely hampody ny fanjakana ho an-dRehoboama.
And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him.
2 Kanjo kosa ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Semaia, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ka nanao hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
3 Mitenena amin-dRehoboama, zanak’ i Solomona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra amin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina hoe:
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin:
4 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mandeha hiady amin’ ny rahalahinareo, fa samia mody any an-tranony avy ianareo, fa avy amiko izao zavatra izao. Ary nihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah ny olona, ka dia samy lasa nody, fa tsy nandeha hamely an’ i Jeroboama.
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam,
5 Ary Rehoboama nitoetra tany Jerosalema ka nanamboatra tanàna mimanda tany Joda.
And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.
6 Ny namboariny dia izao: Betlehema sy Etama sy Tekoa
And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,
7 sy Beti-zora sy Soko sy Adolama
And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,
8 sy Gata sy Maresa sy Zifa
And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
9 sy Adoraima sy Lakisy sy Azeka
And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,
10 sy Zora sy Aialona ary Hebrona, izay tanàna mimanda ao amin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina.
Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.
11 Ary nanamafy ny tanàna mimanda izy sady nametraka mpanapaka tao aminy ary nanisy hanina sy diloilo ary divay betsaka.
And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine.
12 Ary tamin’ ny isam-bohitra dia nasiany ampinga lehibe sy lefona avokoa, sady nohamafiny dia nohamafiny ny vohitra; ary ny Joda sy ny Benjamina no nomba azy.
Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin,
13 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay teo amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra dia nanatona azy avy tany amin’ ny fari-taniny avy.
And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,
14 Fa ny Levita nandao ny tanànany sy ny tany manodidina azy ka nankany Joda sy Jerosalema (fa Jeroboama sy ny zanany efa nanaisotra azy tsy ho mpisorona ho an’ i Jehovah,
Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord.
15 fa nanendry mpisorona ho amin’ ny fitoerana avo sy ho an’ ny Seïrima ary ho an’ ny ombilahy kely izay nataony).
And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 Ary na iza na iza tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra no nanolotra ny fony hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia nanaraka ireo nankany Jerosalema hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before the Lord the God of their fathers.
17 Ka dia nampahery ny fanjakan’ ny Joda izy sady nampahavitrika an-dRehoboama, zanak’ i Solomona, telo taona; fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Davida sy Solomona telo taona izy.
And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years.
18 Ary Rehoboama naka an’ i Mahalota, zanakavavin’ i Jerimota, zanak’ i Davida, sy Abihaila, zanakavavin’ i Eliaba, zanak’ i Jese, ho vadiny,
And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.
19 izay nahazoany zaza, dia Jeosy sy Semaria ary Zahama.
And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
20 Ary nanarakaraka azy, dia nalainy koa Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma, izay niteraka an’ i Abia sy Atahy sy Ziza ary Selomita taminy.
And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
21 Ary Rehoboama tia an’ Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma, mihoatra noho ny vadiny sy ny vaditsindranony rehetra (fa naka vady valo ambin’ ny folo sy vaditsindrano enim-polo izy ka niteraka lahy valo amby roa-polo sy vavy enim-polo).
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters.
22 Ary Abia, zanakalahin’ Imaka, no nataon-dRehoboama lohany ho mpanapaka ny rahalahiny; fa izy no efa nokasainy hampanjakaina.
But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king,
23 Ary hendry izy ka nampiely ny zanany eran’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra, dia tany amin’ ny tanàna mimanda rehetra, ka nomeny hanina betsaka sady nitadiavany vady maro.
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives.
