II Chronicles 11

Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema Rehoboama, dia novoriny ny taranak'i Joda sy Benjamina, dia miaramila valo alina amby iray hetsy voafantina, hiady amin'ny Isiraely hampody ny fanjakana ho an-dRehoboama.

And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.

Kanjo kosa ny tenin'i Jehovah tonga tamin'i Semaia, lehilahin'Andriamanitra, ka nanao hoe:

But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

Mitenena amin-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona, mpanjakan'ny Joda, sy amin'ny Isiraely rehetra amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina hoe:

Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Aza mandeha hiady amin'ny rahalahinareo, fa samia mody any an-tranony avy ianareo, fa avy amiko izao zavatra izao. Ary nihaino ny tenin'i Jehovah ny olona, ka dia samy lasa nody, fa tsy nandeha hamely an'i Jeroboama.

Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

Ary Rehoboama nitoetra tany Jerosalema ka nanamboatra tanàna mimanda tany Joda.

And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.

Ny namboariny dia izao: Betlehema sy Etama sy Tekoa

He built even Beth–lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

sy Beti-zora sy Soko sy Adolama

And Beth–zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,

sy Gata sy Maresa sy Zifa

And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,

sy Adoraima sy Lakisy sy Azeka

And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,

sy Zora sy Aialona ary Hebrona, izay tanàna mimanda ao amin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina.

And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.

Ary nanamafy ny tanàna mimanda izy sady nametraka mpanapaka tao aminy ary nanisy hanina sy diloilo ary divay betsaka.

And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.

Ary tamin'ny isam-bohitra dia nasiany ampinga lehibe sy lefona avokoa, sady nohamafiny dia nohamafiny ny vohitra; ary ny Joda sy ny Benjamina no nomba azy.

And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay teo amin'ny Isiraely rehetra dia nanatona azy avy tany amin'ny fari-taniny avy.

And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.

Fa ny Levita nandao ny tanànany sy ny tany manodidina azy ka nankany Joda sy Jerosalema (fa Jeroboama sy ny zanany efa nanaisotra azy tsy ho mpisorona ho an'i Jehovah,

For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:

fa nanendry mpisorona ho amin'ny fitoerana avo sy ho an'ny Seïrima ary ho an'ny ombilahy kely izay nataony).

And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

Ary na iza na iza tamin'ny firenen'Isiraely rehetra no nanolotra ny fony hitady an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia nanaraka ireo nankany Jerosalema hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.

And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.

Ka dia nampahery ny fanjakan'ny Joda izy sady nampahavitrika an-dRehoboama, zanak'i Solomona, telo taona; fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'i Davida sy Solomona telo taona izy.

So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

Ary Rehoboama naka an'i Mahalota, zanakavavin'i Jerimota, zanak'i Davida, sy Abihaila, zanakavavin'i Eliaba, zanak'i Jese, ho vadiny,

And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

izay nahazoany zaza, dia Jeosy sy Semaria ary Zahama.

Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

Ary nanarakaraka azy, dia nalainy koa Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma, izay niteraka an'i Abia sy Atahy sy Ziza ary Selomita taminy.

And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

Ary Rehoboama tia an'Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma, mihoatra noho ny vadiny sy ny vaditsindranony rehetra (fa naka vady valo ambin'ny folo sy vaditsindrano enim-polo izy ka niteraka lahy valo amby roa-polo sy vavy enim-polo).

And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)

Ary Abia, zanakalahin'Imaka, no nataon-dRehoboama lohany ho mpanapaka ny rahalahiny; fa izy no efa nokasainy hampanjakaina.

And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.

Ary hendry izy ka nampiely ny zanany eran'ny tanin'ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra, dia tany amin'ny tanàna mimanda rehetra, ka nomeny hanina betsaka sady nitadiavany vady maro.

And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
