2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboamu sì lọ sí Ṣekemu nítorí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti lọ síbẹ̀ láti fi jẹ ọba.
And Roboam came to Sychem: for all Israel came to Sychem to make him king.
2 Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati gbọ́ ẹni ti ó wà ní Ejibiti, níbi tí ó ti sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ ọba Solomoni ó sì padà láti Ejibiti.
And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nabat heard [it], (now he was in Egypt, forasmuch as he had fled thither from the face of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt, ) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà náà ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Jeroboamu àti òun àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu wọ́n sì wí fún pé,
And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam and all the congregation came to Roboam, saying,
4 “Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà tí ó wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ìwọ mú un fúyẹ́, iṣẹ́ líle àti àjàgà wúwo tí ó gbé ka orí wa, àwa yóò sì sìn ọ́.”
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now then abate [somewhat] of thy father's grievous rule, and of his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehoboamu sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn náà sì lọ.
And he said to them, Go away for three days, and [then] come to me. So the people departed.
6 Nígbà náà ni ọba Rehoboamu fi ọ̀ràn lọ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà tí ó ti ń sin baba rẹ̀ Solomoni nígbà ayé rẹ̀, ó sì bi wọ́n léèrè pe, “Báwo ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe gbà mí ní ìmọ̀ràn láti dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lóhùn?”
And king Roboam assembled the elders that stood before his father Solomon in his life-time, saying, How do ye counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?
7 Wọ́n sì dáhùn, “Tí ìwọ yóò bá ṣe rere sí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kí o sì ṣe ìre fún wọn, kí o sì fún wọn ní ìdáhùn rere, wọn yóò sì máa jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ nígbà gbogbo.”
And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wouldest this day befriend this people, and be kind to them, and speak to them good words, then will they be thy servants for ever.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Rehoboamu kọ ìmọ̀ràn náà tí àwọn àgbàgbà fi fún un, ó sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ lọ àwọn ọmọ ọkùnrin tí ó ti dàgbàsókè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tí wọ́n sì ń dúró níwájú rẹ̀.
But he forsook the advice of the old men, who took counsel with him, and he took counsel with the young men who had been brought up with him, who stood before him.
9 Ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Kí ni ìmọ̀ràn yín? Báwo ni kí a ṣe dá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú kí àjàgà tí baba rẹ gbé lé wa kí ó fúyẹ́ díẹ̀.’”
And he said to them, What do ye advise that I should answer this people, who spoke to me, saying, Ease [somewhat] of the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
10 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé tí ó ti dàgbà pẹ̀lú rẹ dá a lóhùn pé, “Sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wí fún ọ wí pé, ‘Baba rẹ gbé àjàgà wúwo lórí wa, ṣùgbọ́n mú àjàgà wa fúyẹ́,’ wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ìka ọwọ́ mi kékeré, ó nípọn ju ìbàdí baba mi lọ.
And the young men that had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak to the people that spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and do thou lighten [somewhat of it] from us; thus shalt thou say, My little finger [shall be] thicker than my father's loins.
11 Baba mi gbé àjàgà wúwo ka orí yín; èmi yóò sì tún mú kí ó wúwo sì í. Baba mi fi pàṣán nà yín; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.’”
And whereas my father chastised you with a heavy yoke, I will also add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, and I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Ní ọjọ́ kẹta Jeroboamu àti gbogbo ènìyàn sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Rehoboamu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti sọ, “Ẹ padà wá sọ́dọ̀ mi ní ọjọ́ kẹta.”
And Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, Return to me on the third day.
13 Nígbà náà ni ọba dá wọn lóhùn ní ọ̀nà líle. Rehoboamu ọba sì kọ̀ ìmọ̀ràn àwọn àgbàgbà sílẹ̀,
And the king answered harshly; and king Roboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 Ó sì tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọdé, ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi mú kí àjàgà yín wúwo; èmi yóò sì mú kí ó wúwo jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ. Baba mi nà yín pẹ̀lú pàṣán; èmi yóò sì nà yín pẹ̀lú àkéekèe.”
and spoke to them according to the counsel 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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba kò sì fetísí àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni. Láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣẹ tí a ti sọ fún Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati nípasẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo.
And the king hearkened not to the people, for there was a change [of their minds] from God, saying, The Lord has confirmed his word, which he spoke by the hand of Achia the Selonite concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and [concerning] all Israel;
16 Nígbà tí gbogbo Israẹli rí i wí pé ọba kọ̀ láti gbọ́ tiwọn, wọ́n sì dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Ìpín kí ní a ní nínú Dafidi, ìní wo ni a ní nínú ọmọ Jese? Ẹ lọ sí àgọ́ yín, ẹ̀yin Israẹli! Bojútó ilé rẹ, ìwọ Dafidi!” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ sí ilé wọn.
for the king did not hearken to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or inheritance in the son of Jessae? to thy tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí ń gbé ní ìlú Juda, Rehoboamu ń jẹ ọba lórí wọn.
But the men of Israel, even those who dwelt in the cities of Juda, [remained] and made Roboam king over them.
18 Ọba Rehoboamu rán Adoniramu jáde, ẹni tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ iṣẹ́ onírúurú, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa. Ọba Rehoboamu, gbìyànjú láti dé inú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì sálọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
And king Roboam sent to them Adoniram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And king Roboam hasted to mount [his] chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Israẹli sì wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ lórí ilé Dafidi títí fi di òní yìí.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
