1When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again 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 LORD’s word 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 to 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,
4‘The LORD says, “You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Every man return to his house; for this thing is of me.”’” So they listened to the LORD’s words, 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.
5Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense 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 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa,
6Kukulu iho la oia ia Betelehema, a me Etena, a me Tekoa.
7Beth Zur, Soco, Adullam,
7A me Betazura, a me Soko, a me Adulama,
8Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
8A me Gata, a me Anaresa, a me Zipa,
9Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
9A me Adoraima, a me Lakisa, a me Azeka,
10Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin.
10A me Zora, a me Aialona, a me Heberona, aia no ma Iuda, a ma Beniamina, he mau kulanakauhale paa i ka pa.
11He fortified the strongholds and put captains in them with stores of food, 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.
12He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceedingly strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged 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.
13The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him out of all their territory.
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 pasture lands and their possessions, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office to 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:
15He himself appointed priests for the high places, for the male goat and calf idols 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.
16After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to 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 for 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.
18Rehoboam took a wife for himself, 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.
19She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
19A hanau mai oia nana i na keiki, o Ieusa, me Samaria, a me Zahama.
20After her, he took Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, Attai, 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.
21Rehoboam loved Maacah the granddaughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty 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.)
22Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers, for he intended 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.
23He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city. He gave them food in abundance; and he sought many wives for them.
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.
