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.

When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he gathered together the family of Judah and Benjamin. There were 180, 000 chosen men of war gathered to fight against Israel to make Rehoboam their king again.

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 speak to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin. Tell them,

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

‘This is what the Lord says, “You must not go up to fight against your brothers. Every man return to his house. For I have made this happen.”’” So they listened to the word of the Lord and returned. They did not go against Jeroboam. Rehoboam Makes the Cities Strong

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

Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built strong cities in Judah.

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

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. These are strong cities with walls, 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 made the strong places stronger. He put leaders 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.

And he put battle-coverings and spears in every city and made them very strong. So he kept Judah and Benjamin. Religious Leaders and Levites Come to Judah

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

The religious leaders and the Levites who were in all Israel joined with Rehoboam from all places where they lived.

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.

The Levites left their fields and land and came to Judah and Jerusalem. For Jeroboam and his sons had stopped them from working as religious leaders for the Lord.

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

He chose religious leaders of his own for the high places, for the goat-gods 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 families of Israel who set their hearts on following the Lord God of Israel came after them to Jerusalem. They came to give gifts in worship 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 made the nation of Judah strong, and gave strength to 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 married Mahalath. She was 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.

She gave birth to Rehoboam’s 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 married Maacah the daughter of Absalom. She gave birth to his sons: 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 women who acted as his wives. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty women who acted as his wives. He was the father of 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 chose Maacah’s son Abijah to be the head leader among his brothers. For he wanted 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.

And he acted with wisdom. He spread some of his sons to every strong city in all the lands of Judah and Benjamin. He gave them much food, and found many wives for them.
