1 M arkii boqortooyadii Rexabcaam ay dhisantay oo uu xoogaystay ayuu ka tegey sharcigii Rabbiga, iyadoo ay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuba la jiraan.

When King Rehoboam’s nation had been made strong, he and all Israel turned away from the Law of the Lord.

2 O o sannaddii shanaad oo Boqor Rexabcaam ayaa Shiishaq oo boqorkii Masar ahaa Yeruusaalem ku kacay, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay ku xadgudbeen Rabbiga,

After Rehoboam had been king for five years, King Shishak of Egypt came to fight against Jerusalem. This happened because they had not been faithful to the Lord.

3 o o wuxuu kaxaystay kun iyo laba boqol oo gaadhifaras iyo lixdan kun oo fardooley ah, oo dadkii isaga Masar kala soo baxayna tiro ma ay lahayn, waxayna ahaayeen reer Luubiim iyo reer Sukiyiim iyo reer Itoobiya.

Shishak came with 1, 200 war-wagons and 60, 000 horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt were too many to number. There were Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.

4 O o isagu wuxuu qabsaday magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa ee dalka Yahuudah, oo haddana wuxuu yimid Yeruusaalem.

He took the strong cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.

5 H addaba Nebi Shemacyaah ayaa u yimid Rexabcaam iyo amiirradii dalka Yahuudah oo Yeruusaalem ugu urursanaa Shiishaq daraaddiis, oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku waad i dayriseen oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan gacanta Shiishaq idinkaga tegey.

Then Shemaiah the man of God came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “The Lord says, ‘You have left Me. So I have left you to Shishak.’”

6 M arkaasaa amiirradii dadka Israa'iil iyo boqorkiiba is-hoosaysiiyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Rabbigu waa xaq.

So the princes of Israel and the king put away their pride and said, “The Lord is right and good.”

7 O o Rabbiguna markuu arkay inay is-hoosaysiiyeen ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Shemacyaah, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Iyagu way is-hoosaysiiyeen oo taas aawadeed anigu baabbi'in maayo, laakiinse waan samatabbixin doonaa, oo cadhadayduna Yeruusaalem kuma degi doonto iyadoo gacanta Shiishaq ku timid.

The Lord saw that they had put away their pride. And the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have put away their pride. I will not destroy them. But I will give them some help. My anger will not be poured out on Jerusalem by the power of Shishak.

8 H abase ahaatee waxay ahaan doonaan addoommadiisa, si ay u ogaadaan adeegiddayda iyo adeegidda boqortooyooyinka waddammadaba.

But they will be made to work for him. In this way they may learn the difference between My work and the work of the kings of the countries.”

9 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed Shiishaq oo ahaa boqorkii Masar wuxuu ku kacay Yeruusaalem oo wuxuu qaatay khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga iyo khasnadihii guriga boqorkaba, oo dhammaantood wuu wada qaatay, oo wuxuu kaloo wada qaatay gaashaammadii dahabka ahaa oo Sulaymaan sameeyey.

So King Shishak of Egypt came and fought against Jerusalem. He took the riches of the Lord’s house and the riches of the king’s house. He took everything. He even took the battle-coverings of gold which Solomon had made.

10 O o Boqor Rexabcaam ayaa meeshoodii ka sameeyey gaashaammo naxaas ah, oo wuxuu u dhiibay saraakiishii waardiyayaashii albaabka guriga boqorka dhawri jiray.

King Rehoboam made battle-coverings of brass in their place. And he put them in the care of the captains of the soldiers who watched the door of the king’s house.

11 O o mar alla markuu boqorku gurigii Rabbiga galo ayay waardiyayaashu iman jireen oo ay gaashaammada soo qaadi jireen, oo haddana waxay ku soo celin jireen qolkii waardiyayaasha.

Every time the king went into the house of the Lord, the soldiers came and carried the coverings. Then they returned them to the soldiers’ room.

12 O o markuu isagu is-hoosaysiiyey ayaa cadhadii Rabbigu ka noqotay si aan Rabbigu isaga dhammaantiisba u baabbi'in, oo weliba dalka Yahuudah waxyaalo wanwanaagsan baa laga heli jiray.

When Rehoboam put away his pride, the Lord’s anger turned away from him. He was not destroyed. And things were good in Judah. The End of Rehoboam’s Rule

13 H addaba Boqor Rexabcaam wuxuu ku xoogaystay Yeruusaalem oo xukumay, oo Rexabcaam markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray kow iyo afartan sannadood, oo toddoba iyo toban sannadood ayuu boqor ku ahaa Yeruusaalem oo ahayd magaaladii Rabbigu ka doortay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan inuu magiciisa halkaas dhigo; oo hooyadiis magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Nacamaah tii reer Cammoon.

So King Rehoboam became strong in Jerusalem and ruled. He was forty-one years old when he began to rule. And he ruled in Jerusalem for seventeen years. This was the city the Lord had chosen from all the families of Israel to put His name there. The name of Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah the Ammonitess.

14 O o isagu wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ah, maxaa yeelay, qalbigiisa uma uu diyaarin inuu Rabbiga doondoono.

And he did what was sinful, because he did not follow the Lord with all his heart.

15 H addaba Rexabcaam falimihiisii, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, sow kuma qorna taariikhdii Nebi Shemacyaah iyo tii Iddo oo ahaa waxarkihii, siday ahaayeen abtirsiinyadii? Oo had iyo goorna dagaal baa ka dhaxayn jiray Rexabcaam iyo Yaaraabcaam.

The acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are written in the writings of Shemaiah the man of God and of Iddo the man who told what would happen in the future. Wars were always being fought between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

16 O o Rexabcaamna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Abiiyaah.

Rehoboam died and was buried in the city of David. His son Abijah became king in his place.
