2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, because all the Israelites had gone to Shechem to make him king.
Rehoboam el som nu Shechem, yen mwet nukewa epang in Israel elos fahsreni nu we in oru tuh elan tokosrala.
2 Jeroboam, son of Nebat, was still in Egypt when he heard about this. (He had run away to Egypt to escape from King Solomon and was living there.)
Ke Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, su tuh som nu Egypt in kaing lukel Tokosra Solomon, el lohng pweng se inge, na el folokla nu yen sel.
3 The Israelite leaders sent for him. Jereboam and all the Israelites went to talk with Rehoboam.
Mwet in sruf epang elos sapla solal, ac elos nukewa tukeni som nu yorol Rehoboam ac fahk nu sel,
4 “Your father placed a heavy burden on us,” they told him. “But now if you lighten the load your father imposed and the heavy demands he laid on us, we will serve you.”
“Papa tomom ah tuh use mwe utuk na toasr nu facsr. Tusruktu kom fin akfusrasryela mwe utuk inge, na kut ac fah mwet kulansap pwaye nu sum.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back in three days time.” So the people left.
Na Rehoboam el fahk, “Se nu sik len tolu nga in nunku kac, na kowos fah sifil foloko.” Ouinge mwet uh som.
6 King Rehoboam asked for advice from the elders who had served his father Solomon when he was alive. “How do you advise me to reply to these people about this?” he asked.
Tokosra Rehoboam el siyuk sin mwet matu su tuh mwet kasru lal Solomon, papa tumal, ac fahk, “Top fuka kowos nunku mu fal nga in sang topuk siyuk lun mwet inge?”
7 They replied, “If you treat these people well, and please them by speaking kindly to them, they will always serve you.”
Elos topuk ac fahk, “Kom fin kulang nu sin mwet ingan ac akinsewowoyalos ac sulela sie top wowo an nu selos, na elos ac fah oaru in kulansupwekom pacl nukewa.”
8 But Rehoboam dismissed the advice of the elders. He instead asked advice from the young men who he had grown up with, and who were close to him.
Tusruktu el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, ac som nu yurin mwet fusr su nuna welul ke elos tulik ah me, ac inge el oru mu elos pa mwet kasru lal.
9 He asked them, “What response do you advise that we send back to these people who have told me, ‘Lighten the burden your father put on us’?”
El siyuk selos, “Mea kowos nunku mu wo nga in oru? Ke mwet uh siyuk ngan akmulalaye enu lalos uh, mea nga ac fahk nu selos?”
10 The young men who he had grown up with told him, “This is what you have to tell these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our burden heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should answer them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!
Elos topuk, “Pa inge ma kom ac fahk nu selos an: ‘Kuf srisrik soko ke pouk uh yohk liki infulwen papa tumuk ah.’
11 My father placed a heavy burden on you, and I will make it even heavier. My father punished you with whips; I will punish you with scorpions.’”
Fahk nu selos mu, ‘Papa tumuk el sot enu toasr nu fowos, a nga ac sot in toasr liki. El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga fah sringil kowos ke scorpion!’”
12 Three days later, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, because the king had told them, “Come back in three days time.”
Tukun len tolu, Jeroboam ac mwet nukewa folokla nu yorol Rehoboam, oana ke el tuh fahk nu selos ah.
13 The king answered them sharply. Dismissing the advice of the elders,
Tokosra el pilesru kas in kasru lun mwet matu, a el kaskas upa nu sin mwet uh.
14 he replied using the advice of the young men. He said, “My father placed a heavy burden on you, and I will make it even heavier. My father punished you with whips; I will punish you with scorpions.”
El fahk oana ke mwet fusr wial elos fahk, “Papa tumuk el sot enu toasr nu fowos, a nga ac sot in toasr liki! El puok kowos ke mwe sringsring, a nga ac sringil kowos ke sucl lulap!”
15 The king did not listen to what the people said, for this change in circumstances was from God, to fulfill what Lord had told Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.
Pa ingan ma lungse lun LEUM GOD in akpwayeye ma El tuh fahk nu sel Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat, in kas lun mwet palu Ahijah mwet Shiloh. Pa inge sripa se sis tokosra el tiana lohang nu sin mwet uh.
16 When all the Israelites saw that the king wasn't listening to them, they told the king: “What share do we have in David, and what part do we have in the son of Jesse? Go home, Israel! You're on your own, house of David!” So all the Israelites went home.
Ke mwet uh liye tuh tokosra el tiana lohngolos, na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Tolulla David ac sou lal! Mea elos nu orala nu sesr? Mwet Israel, kut som nu yen sesr! Lela Rehoboam elan sifacna liyalang!” Ouinge mwet Israel elos orek alein,
17 However, Rehoboam still ruled over the Israelites who lived in Judah.
pwanang Rehoboam el tokosra lun mwet ma muta Judah mukena.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam quickly jumped into his chariot and raced back to Jerusalem.
Na Tokosra Rehoboam el supwalla Adoniram, su kol orekma lun mwet kohs, elan som nu yurin mwet Israel, a elos tanglal nwe ke el misa. Ke ma inge, Rehoboam el sulaklak sroang nu fin chariot natul, ac kaingla nu Jerusalem.
19 As a result, Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
In pacl sac me, mwet epang in Israel elos alein na nu sin mwet nukewa su leum sin fwilin tulik natul David.
