1And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him.
1Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻa Lehopoami ki Selūsalema, naʻe fakakātoa ʻe ia mei he fale ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani ʻae kau tangata fili, ko e kau tangata tau, ʻe taha kilu mo e toko fā mano, ke nau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke nau toe liliu mai ʻae puleʻanga kia Lehopoami.
2And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
2Ka naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Simaia ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
3Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda and Benjamin:
3Ke ke lea kia Lehopoami ko e foha ʻo Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi Siuta mo Penisimani, ʻo pehē,
4Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam,
4ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua te mou ʻalu hake, pe tau ki homou kāinga: mou foki atu taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono fale: he ko e meʻa ni kuo fai ia ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa nau fai talangofua ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea naʻa nau foki ʻo ʻikai ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻa Selopoami.
5And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.
5¶ Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Lehopoami ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta.
6And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,
6Naʻa ne langa ʻa Petelihema, mo ʻEtami, mo Tikoa,
7And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,
7Mo Petesua, mo Soko, mo ʻAtulami,
8And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
8Mo Kati, mo Malesa, mo Sifi,
9And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,
9Mo ʻAtolaimi, mo Lakisi, mo ʻAseka,
10Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.
10Mo Sola, mo ʻAsaloni, mo Hepeloni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta mo Penisimani ko e ngaahi kolotau.
11And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine.
11Pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kolotau, pea tuku ki ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo faʻo ki ai ʻae meʻakai, mo e lolo mo e uaine.
12Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin,
12Pea ne tuku ʻi he ngaahi kolo taki taha ʻae ngaahi pā mo e ngaahi tao, ʻo ne ngaohi ia ke mālohi ʻaupito, he naʻe kau ʻa Siuta mo Penisimani kiate ia.
13And the priests and Levites, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,
13¶ Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai mei honau ngaahi potu nofoʻanga kotoa pē.
14Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord.
14Ka naʻe siʻaki ʻe he kau Livai honau ngaahi ʻapi mo honau ngaahi tofiʻa, pea haʻu ki Siuta mo Selūsalema: he naʻe liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe Selopoami mo hono ngaahi foha ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻae ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki kia Sihova.
15And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
15Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki maʻana ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea maʻae ngaahi tēvolo, pea ki he ngaahi ʻuhiki pulu ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi.
16Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before the Lord the God of their fathers.
16Pea naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu ki Selūsalema, mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe pau honau loto ke kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke feilaulau kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
17And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years.
17Ko ia naʻa nau fakamālohi ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻa Lehopoami ko e foha ʻo Solomone, ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu: he naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻi he hala ʻo Tevita mo Solomone.
18And Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.
18¶ Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Lehopoami ʻa Mehalate ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selimoti ko e foha ʻo Tevita kena mali, mo ʻApieli ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻIliapi, ko e foha ʻo Sese:
19And they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
19ʻAia naʻa na fānau kiate ia ʻae fānau: ko Siusi, mo Samalia, mo Seami.
20And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
20Pea hoko mo ia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻa Meaka ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi: ʻaia naʻa ne fānau kiate ia ʻa ʻApisa, mo ʻAtai, mo Sisa, mo Silomiti.
21And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters.
21Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Lehopoami kia Meaka ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi ʻo lahi hake ʻi hono ngaahi uaifi kotoa pē mo ʻene sinifu: (he naʻa ne maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko valu mo e sinifu ʻe toko onongofulu: pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko uofulu ma toko valu, mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko onongofulu.)
22But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king,
22Pea ngaohi ʻe Lehopoami ʻa ʻApisa ko e tama ʻa Meaka ke tuʻukimuʻa, pea ke pule ia ki hono ngaahi kāinga: he naʻe tokanga ia ke fakanofo ia ke tuʻi.
23Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives.
23Pea naʻe fai fakapotopoto ia, ʻo ne tufaki ʻene fānau kotoa pē ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, ki he ngaahi kolo tau kotoa pē: pea naʻa ne ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻaupito. Pea naʻe manako ia ki he uaifi tokolahi.
