1And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
1A HIKI o Rehoboama i Ierusalema, hoakoakoa ae la ia i ka ohana a Iuda a me Beniamina, hookahi haneri a me kanawalu tausani kanaka ui, he poe koa, e kaua aku i ka Iseraela, e hoihoi mai i ke aupuni ia Rehoboama.
2But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
2A hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia Semaia, i ke kanaka o ke Akua, i mai la,
3'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying:
3E olelo aku oe ia Rehoboama i ke keiki a Solomona i ke alii o ka Iuda, a i ka poe mamo a Iseraela a pau ma Iuda a me Beniamina, e i aku,
4Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return every man to his house, for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
4Penei ka olelo a Iehova, Mai pii aku oukou, aole hoi oukou e kaua aku i ko oukou poe hoahanau; e hoi kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho; no ka mea, na'u aku neia mea: a lohe lakou a pau i ka olelo a Iehova, a hoi lakou mai ko lakou hele ana aku e kaua ia Ieroboama.
5And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
5A noho iho la o Rehoboama ma Ierusalema, a kukulu iho la ia ma Iuda i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa.
6He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
6Kukulu iho la oia ia Betelehema, a me Etena, a me Tekoa.
7and Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
7A me Betazura, a me Soko, a me Adulama,
8and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
8A me Gata, a me Anaresa, a me Zipa,
9and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
9A me Adoraima, a me Lakisa, a me Azeka,
10and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
10A me Zora, a me Aialona, a me Heberona, aia no ma Iuda, a ma Beniamina, he mau kulanakauhale paa i ka pa.
11And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.
11A hoopaa iho la oia i na paakaua, a hoonoho aku la iloko olaila i na luna a me na ahu ai, a me ka aila, a me ka waina.
12And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him.
12A iloko o kela kulanakauhale keia kulanakauhale, waiho iho la ia i na palekaua, a me na ihe, hana iho la oia malaila a paa loa, a ia ia o Iuda a me Beniamina ma kona aoao.
13And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.
13A o na kahuna, a me na Levi iwaena o ka Iseraela a pau, hele mai lakou io na la, mai kauwahi o lakou a pau mai.
14For the Levites left their open land and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office unto the LORD;
14No ka mea, haalele ka poe Levi i na wahi o lakou, a me ko lakou hooiliua, a hele lakou i Iuda, a i Ierusalema, no ka mea, kipaku o Ieroboama a me kana mau keiki ia lakou mailoko aku o ka oihana kahuna no Iehova:
15and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.
15A hoonoho oia nona i na kahuna, no na wahi kiekie, a no na kao, a no na keiki bipi ana i hana'i.
16And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the God of their fathers.
16A mahope o keia mau mea, o ka poe a pau noloko o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela i haawi aku i ko lakou mau naau e imi ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, hele mai lakou i Ierusalema e mohai aku ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
17So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.
17A hookupaa iho la lakou i ke aupuni o Iuda, a hookupaa no hoi ia Rehoboama i ke keiki a Solomona i na makahiki ekolu; no ka mea, i na makahiki ekolu, hele lakou ma ka aoao o Davida a me Solomona.
18And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
18A lawe iho la o Rehoboama i wahine nana, ia Mehalata, i ke kaikamahine a Ieremota, ke keiki a Davida, a me Abehaila, ke kaikamahine a Eliaba ke keiki a Iese.
19and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
19A hanau mai oia nana i na keiki, o Ieusa, me Samaria, a me Zahama.
20And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
20A mahope iho, lawe oia ia Maaka i ke kaikamahine a Abesaloma; a hanau mai oia nana o Abiia, a me Atai, a me Ziza. a me Silomita.
21And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines — for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.
21Aloha iho la o Rehoboama ia Maaka i ke kaikamahine a Abesaloma, mamua o kana mau wahine a pau, a me kana poe haiawahine; (no ka mea, aia no ia ia he umikumamawalu wahine, a me na haiawahine he kanaono; a hanau mai he iwakalua a me kumamawalu na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine he kanaono.)
22And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king.
22Hoonoho iho la o Rehoboama ia Abiia i ke keiki a Maaka i luna mawaena o kona poe hoahanau, no ka hoalii aku ia ia.
23And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.
23A hana maalea iho la oia, a hoonoho liilii ia i kana poe keiki ma na aina a pau o Iuda a me Beniamina, a iloko o na kulanakauhale a pau i paa i ka pa, a haawi aku oia ia lakou i ka ai a nui. Makemake iho la ia i na wahine he nui loa.
