1 M arkaasaa Rexabcaam wuxuu tegey Shekem, maxaa yeelay, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen Shekem inay isaga ku soo boqraan.

Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

2 O o markii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad taas maqlay ayuu ka soo noqday dalkii Masar (waayo, wuxuu joogay dalkii Masar oo uu Boqor Sulaymaan kaga cararay).

Jeroboam the son of Nebat was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, when he heard about the new king; so Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

3 W aa loo cid diray oo loo yeedhay, oo Yaaraabcaam iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way yimaadeen, markaasay Rexabcaam la hadleen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen,

And the people sent for him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam, saying,

4 W ar aabbahaa harqood daran buu na saaray, haddaba noo fududee hawshii aabbahaa oo adkayd iyo harqoodkiisii cuslaa oo uu na saaray, annana waannu kuu adeegaynaa.

Your father made our yoke grievous. So now make lighter the grievous service of your father and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve you.

5 M arkaasuu ku yidhi, Saddex maalmood dabadood igu soo noqda. Markaasaa dadkii ka tegey.

Rehoboam replied, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.

6 M arkaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam la tashaday odayaashii aabbihiis Sulaymaan intuu noolaa hor joogi jiray, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad igula talinaysaan oo aan dadkan jawaab ugu celiyaa?

King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who stood before Solomon his father while he was alive, saying, What counsel do you give me in reply to the people?

7 O o intay la hadleen ayay ku yidhaahdeen, Haddaad dadkan u roonaatid, oo aad ka farxisid, oo aad erayo wanaagsan kula hadashid, markaasay weligood addoommo kuu ahaanayaan.

And they answered him, If you are kind to people and please them and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.

8 L aakiinse wuu ka tegey taladii odayaashu kula taliyeen, oo haddana wuxuu la arrinsaday raggii dhallinyarada ahaa oo isaga la koray ee hortiisa joogay.

But the king forsook the counsel which the old men gave him and took counsel with the young men who were brought up with him and stood before him.

9 O o wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, War maxaad igula talinaysaan oo aan jawaab ugu celinnaa dadkan ila hadlay oo igu yidhi, War harqoodkii aabbahaa na saaray noo fududee?

And he said to them, What answer do you advise that we give to the demand of people, Make the yoke your father put upon us lighter?

10 M arkaasay raggii dhallintayaraa oo isaga la koray la hadleen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, La hadal dadkii kula hadlay oo kugu yidhi, Aabbahaa harqood daran buu na saaray ee adigu noo fududee. Oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Faryaradaydu waa ka sii dhumuc weyn tahay aabbahay dhexdiisa.

The young men who were brought up with him said to him, Tell the people who said to you, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter: My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.

11 H addaba meeshii aabbahay harqood culus idinka saaray, anna culays baan idiinku sii darayaa, oo aabbahay wuxuu idinku edbin jiray shaabuugyo, laakiinse anigu waxaan idinku edbinayaa hangarallayaal.

For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

12 S idaas daraaddeed Yaaraabcaam iyo dadkii oo dhammuba maalintii saddexaad ayay Rexabcaam u yimaadeen siduu boqorku hore ugu amray markuu ku yidhi, Maalinta saddexaad igu soo noqda.

The third day Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam as he had said.

13 M arkaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam ka tegey taladii raggii odayaasha ahaa, oo si qallafsan ayuu ugu jawaabay,

And the king answered them harshly, forsaking the counsel of the old men,

14 o o wuxuu kula hadlay taladii raggii dhallintayaraa, oo ku yidhi, Aabbahay harqood culus buu idin saaray, laakiinse anna culays kalaan idiinku sii darayaa, aabbahay wuxuu idinku edbin jiray shaabuugyo, laakiinse anigu waxaan idinku edbinayaa hangarallayaal.

And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

15 S idaas daraaddeed boqorkii dadkii ma uu dhegaysan, waayo, taasu xagga Ilaah bay ka timid, si uu Rabbigu u adkeeyo eraygiisii uu Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad kula hadlay oo uu u soo dhiibay Axiiyaah kii reer Shiiloh.

So the king did not heed the people, for it was brought about of God, that the Lord might perform His word which He spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.

16 O o dadkii Israa'iil oo dhammuna markay arkeen inaan boqorku dhegaysan ayaa dadkii waxay boqorkii ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Bal maxaan qayb ku leennahay Daa'uud? Dhaxalna kuma lihin ina Yesay. Haddaba dadkii Israa'iilow, nin kastow, teendhadaadii tag. Oo Daa'uudow, bal eeg, reerkaagii waa kuu kaas. Markaasay dadkii Israa'iil oo dhammu teendhooyinkoodii tageen.

And when all Israel saw that the king would not listen to and heed them, they answered, What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now, David, see to your own house! So all Israel went to their homes.

17 L aakiinse Rexabcaam wuxuu boqor u ahaa intii reer binu Israa'iil ahayd ee degganayd magaalooyinka reer Yahuudah.

But as for the Israelites who dwelt in Judah’s cities, Rehoboam ruled over them.

18 M arkaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam wuxuu diray Hadooraam oo cashuurta u sarreeyey, oo dadkii Israa'iil dhagax bay la dhaceen, wuuna dhintay. Markaasaa Boqor Rexabcaam ku degdegay inuu fuulo gaadhifaraskiisii si uu Yeruusaalem ugu cararo.

Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the forced labor, and the Israelites stoned him and he died. But King Rehoboam hastened to get up to his royal chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

19 S idaasay dadkii Israa'iil ugu caasiyoobeen Daa'uud reerkiisii ilaa maantadan la joogo.

And Israel has rebelled against the house of David to this day.
