1And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Lehopoami ʻae puleʻanga, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia, naʻa ne liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova, pea pehē mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē.
2And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
2Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono taʻu ʻe nima ʻoe tuʻi ko Lehopoami naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai talangataʻa kia Sihova,
3With twelve hundred chariots and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, and Ethiopians.
3Mo e saliote ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi ʻe toko ono mano: pea naʻe taʻefaʻalaua ʻae kakai naʻe ʻalu hake mo ia mei ʻIsipite: ʻae kakai Lipea, mo e kakai Sukimi, mo e kakai ʻItiopea.
4And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.
4Pea naʻa ne kapa ʻae ngaahi kolotau naʻe kau ki Siuta, ʻo ne haʻu ki Selūsalema.
5And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
5¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻaia Simaia ko e palōfita kia Lehopoami, pea ki he houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe kātoa fakataha ki Selūsalema ko e meʻa ia Sisaki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ‘Kuo mou liʻaki au, pea ko ia kuo u liʻaki ai foki ʻakimoutolu ki he nima ʻo Sisaki.’”
6And the princes of Israel, and the king, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
6Ko ia naʻe fakavaivai ai ʻakinautolu ʻae houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsileli mo e tuʻi: pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku tonuhia ʻa Sihova.”
7And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
7Pea ʻi he vakai ʻe Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Simaia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ka te u tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamoʻui ʻo fuoloa siʻi: pea ʻe ʻikai lingi ʻeku ʻita lahi ki Selūsalema ʻi he nima ʻo Sisaki.
8But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
8Ka ko e moʻoni te nau hoko ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻeku ngāue, mo e ngāue ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe ngaahi fonua.”
9So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made,
9Ko ia naʻe hoko mai ʻa Sisaki ʻo tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻe ʻave mo ia ʻae ngaahi koloa mei he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi: naʻa ne ʻave kotoa pē: naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi pā koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone.
10Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
10Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Lehopoami ʻae ngaahi pā palasa ke fetongi ia, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he matāpule ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻe leʻohi ʻae hūʻanga ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
11And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
11Pea ʻi he hū ʻae tuʻi ki he fale ʻa Sihova, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau leʻo ʻo fetuku ia ki ai pea naʻe toe ʻomi ia mei ai ki he fale ʻoe kau leʻo.
12But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
12Pea ʻi heʻene fakaangavaivai ia, naʻe tafoki meiate ia ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia: pea naʻe hoko foki ʻae lelei ʻi Siuta.
13King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess.
13¶ Ko ia naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia ʻe Lehopoami ʻi Selūsalema, pea pule ia: he naʻe fāngofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe taha ʻae motuʻa ʻo Lehopoami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu ʻi Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tuku ki ai hono huafa. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Neama, ko e fefine ʻAmoni.
14But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
14Pea naʻe fai kovi ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne teuteu hono loto ke kumi kia Sihova.
15Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
15Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Lehopoami ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Simaia ko e palōfita, pea mo Ito ko e tangata kikite, ki he ngaahi hohoko? Pea naʻe fai maʻu ʻae fetauʻaki ʻa Lehopoami mo Selopoami.
16And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
16Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Lehopoami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻApisa.
