1 O o Rexabcaam markuu Yeruusaalem tegey wuxuu reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin ka soo shiriyey boqol iyo siddeetan kun oo rag la doortay oo dagaalyahan ahaa si ay dadkii Israa'iil ula diriraan oo ay boqortooyadii mar kale ugu soo celiyaan Rexabcaam.

Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180, 000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

2 L aakiinse Shemacyaah oo nin Ilaah ahaa waxaa u yimid eraygii Ilaah oo leh,

But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

3 L a hadal Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan oo reer Yahuudah boqor u ah, iyo reer binu Israa'iilka dalka reer Yahuudah iyo kan reer Benyaamiin deggan oo dhan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,

“Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

4 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waa inaydnaan kor u bixin oo aydnaan walaalihiin la diririn. Nin waluba gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, waayo, waxanu aniguu iga yimid. Sidaas aawadeed way maqleen Eraygii Rabbiga, wayna ka noqdeen Yaaraabcaam kii ay ku kaceen. Rexabcaam Oo Yahuudah Xoogeeyey

‘Thus says the Lord, “You shall not go up or fight against your relatives; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me.”’” So they listened to the words of the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam.

5 O o Rexabcaamna wuxuu iska degganaa Yeruusaalem oo dalka Yahuudah ayuu magaalooyin qalcado leh ka dhisay.

Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built cities for defense in Judah.

6 O o kuwuu dhisay waxay ahaayeen Beytlaxam, iyo Ceetaam, iyo Teqooca,

Thus he built Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,

7 i yo Beytsuur, iyo Sookoo, iyo Cadullaam,

Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,

8 i yo Gad, iyo Maareeshaah, iyo Siif,

Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,

9 i yo Adoorayim, iyo Laakiish, iyo Caseeqaah,

Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,

10 i yo Sorcaah, iyo Ayaaloon, iyo Xebroon, oo dhammaantood ku yaal dalka reer Yahuudah iyo kan reer Benyaamiin, waxayna wada ahaayeen magaalooyin deyr leh.

Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.

11 O o isagu qalcadihii ayuu xoogeeyey oo wuxuu halkaas fadhiisiyey saraakiil, wuxuuna ku kaydiyey cunto iyo saliid iyo khamri.

He also strengthened the fortresses and put officers in them and stores of food, oil and wine.

12 O o magaalo kasta wuxuu dhigay gaashaammo iyo warmo, kulligoodna aad buu u xoogeeyey. Oo dalka Yahuudah iyo dalka Benyaamiinna isagaa iska lahaa.

He put shields and spears in every city and strengthened them greatly. So he held Judah and Benjamin.

13 O o wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo reer binu Israa'iil dhex joogay oo dhammuna isagay uga yimaadeen meelahoodii oo dhan.

Moreover, the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him from all their districts. Jeroboam Appoints False Priests

14 W aayo, reer Laawi way ka soo kaceen degmooyinkoodii iyo hantidoodiiba oo waxay yimaadeen dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, waayo, Yaaraabcaam iyo wiilashiisii ayaa iyaga eryay si ayan Rabbiga ugu samayn shuqulkii wadaadnimada.

For the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the Lord.

15 O o isagu wuxuu wadaaddo u doortay meelihii sarsare iyo orgiyadii iyo weylihii uu isagii sameeyey.

He set up priests of his own for the high places, for the satyrs and for the calves which he had made.

16 O o dabadoodna qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan in alla intii qalbigooda ku qabata inay doondoonaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil waxay iman jireen Yeruusaalem inay allabari u bixiyaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood.

Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the Lord God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.

17 M arkaasay xoogeeyeen boqortooyadii dalka Yahuudah, oo intii saddex sannadood ah ayay xoogeeyeen Rexabcaam ina Sulaymaan, waayo, saddex sannadood ayay ku socdeen jidkii Daa'uud iyo kii Sulaymaanba. Reerkii Rexabcaam

They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. Rehoboam’s Family

18 O o Rexabcaam wuxuu guursaday Maxalad oo ay dhaleen Yeriimood ina Daa'uud iyo Abiixayil oo ahayd ina Elii'aab ina Yesay,

Then Rehoboam took as a wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse,

19 o o iyana waxay isagii u dhashay wiilal, waana Yecuush, iyo Shemaryaah, iyo Saham.

and she bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham.

20 O o iyada dabadeedna wuxuu guursaday Macakaah oo ahayd ina Absaaloom, oo waxay isagii u dhashay Abiiyaah, iyo Catay, iyo Siisaa, iyo Shelomiid.

After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, and she bore him Abijah, Attai, Ziza and Shelomith.

21 O o Rexabcaamna wuxuu naagihiisii iyo addoommihiisaba ka sii jeclaaday Macakaah oo ahayd ina Absaaloom, (waayo, wuxuu guursaday siddeed iyo toban naagood iyo lixdan addoommo ah, oo wuxuuna dhalay siddeed iyo labaatan wiil iyo lixdan gabdhood.)

Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

22 O o Rexabcaamna wuxuu madax ka dhigay Abiiyaah oo ay dhashay Macakaah, kaasoo walaalihiis amiir ka dhex ahaa, waayo, wuxuu damacsanaa inuu isaga boqor ka dhigo.

Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as head and leader among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.

23 O o wuxuu u macaamilooday si caqli ah, oo wiilashiisii oo dhanna wuu ku kala firdhiyey magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa ee dalkii reer Yahuudah iyo kii reer Benyaamiin oo dhan, oo iyagii wuxuu siiyey cunto badan. Wuxuuna u doondoonay naago badan.

He acted wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them.
