1 Ie tafam-poly e Ierosalaime ao t’i Rekoboame le natonto’e ty anjomba’ Iehoda naho i Beniamine, ondaty jinoboñe rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale, lahindefoñe, hialy am’ Israele, hampimpolia’e amy Rekoboame i fifeheañey.
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Fe niheo amy Semaià ondatin’ Añahare ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 Saontsio amy Rekoboame ana’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Iehoda naho amy Israele e Iehoda naho e Beniamine ao iaby ty hoe:
Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ko mionjomb’eo, ko mialy aman-droahalahi’ areo; fonga mimpolia mb’an-kiboho’e mb’eo, fa amako o raha zao. Aa le hinao’ iareo o tsara’ Iehovào vaho nimpoly tsy nionjoñe hiatreatre am’ Iarovame.
Thus says the LORD, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 Nimo­neñe e Ierosalaime ao t’i Rekoboame vaho namboatse rovam-piaro­vañe e Iehoda ao.
And Rehoboam dwelled in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
6 Namboare’e ty Betlekheme naho i Etame naho i Tekoà
He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 naho i Bete-tsore naho i Sokò naho i Adola­me
And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 naho i Gate naho i Maresà naho i Zife
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 naho i Adorame naho i Lakise naho i Azekà
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 naho i Tsorà naho i Aiialone vaho i Kebrone; ie rova aman-kijoly e Iehodà naho e Beniamine ao.
And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 Le nihafatrare’e o rova aman-kijolio naho najo’e am’ iereo ao ty mpifeleke naho nañajà’e mahakama naho menake vaho divay.
And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 Le nasia’e fikalan-defo naho lefoñe o rova iabio vaho vata’e nihafatrare’e. Iehoda naho i Beniamine avao ty nimpirekets’ ama’e.
And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 Nirekets’ ama’e o mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy e Israele iaby hirik’ am-paripari’e iabio.
And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 Nado’ o nte-Levio o tanem-piandraza’ iareoo naho o hanaña’ iareoo vaho nivotrake e Iehodà naho e Ierosalaime ao, amy te nifarie’ Iarovame naho o ana-dahi’eo, ie tsy nampitoloñe’e o fisoroñañe am’ Iehovào,
For the Levites left their suburbs 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:
15 te mone no­riza’e ho am-bata’e ty mpisoroñe amo toets’ aboo naho amo kokolampao vaho amo bania niranjie’eo.
And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 Fe nanonjohy iareo ze hene boak’ am-pifokoa’ Israele nifahatse añ’arofo hipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, nimb’e Ierosa­laime mb’eo hañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
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.
17 Aa le nihafatrare’ iereo ty fifehea’ Iehoda vaho nandrondroñe i Rekoboame ana’ i Selo­mò, telo taoñe, ie nañavelo an-dala’ i Davide naho i Selomò telo taoñe.
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.
18 Nañenga valy t’i Rekoboame: i Makalate anak’ ampela’ Ierimote ana’ i Davide naho a i Abihaile anak’ ampela’ i Eliabe ana’ Iiseiy;
And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 le nisamake ana-dahy: Ieose naho i Semarià vaho i Zahame.
Which bore him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 Añe zay, le nañenga i Maakà ana’ i Abisalome, ze nisamake i Abiià naho i Ataý naho i Ziza vaho i Selomite.
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 Nikokoa’ i Rekoboame mandikoatse ze hene vali’e naho sakeza’e t’i Maakà ana’ i Abisalome; toe folo-valo’ amby ty valy nengae’e naho enempolo ty sakeza’e le nisamak’ anadahy roapolo-valo’ amby naho anak’ ampela enempolo.
And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and three score concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and three score daughters.)
22 Tinendre’ i Rekoboame ho talè t’i Abiià ana’ i Maakà, ho mpifeleke o rahalahi’eo, hihentseña’e ho mpanjaka.
And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brothers: for he thought to make him king.
23 Le an-kihitse ty nampi­poha’e amy ze faripari’ Iehoda naho i Beniamine iaby o ana-dahi’eo, amy ze rova fatratse iaby; le tinolo’e mahakama nahaeneñe vaho nipaia’e valy maro.
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
