12 ¹Nake Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ Shekemu, nĩgũkorwo Isiraeli oothe nĩmokĩte Shekemu makamũtue mũthamaki. ²Rĩrĩa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati aiguire ũhoro ũcio—nĩgũkorwo aarĩ o Misiri, kũrĩa oorĩire akĩũra Mũthamaki Solomoni, na agĩikara kuo. ³Nao magĩtũma mũndũ makĩmwĩta. Nake Jeroboamu na kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli magĩũka makĩĩra Rehoboamu atĩrĩ: ⁴“Thooguo nĩatũritũhĩirie icooki riitũ. Rĩu tũhũthĩrĩrie wĩra ũcio mũritũ na icooki rĩrĩa iritũ thooguo aatũigĩrĩire, na nĩ tũgũgũtungatĩra.”

⁵Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũikare mĩthenya ĩtatũ, mũcooke mũũke kũrĩ niĩ.” Nao andũ acio magĩthiĩ.

⁶Nake Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩciira na athuuri arĩa maatungatagĩra ithe Solomoni rĩrĩa aarĩ muoyo. Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩĩndaara atĩa njookerie andũ aya?”

⁷Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ ũngĩtungatĩra andũ aya, ũmacookerie na ũhoro mwega, nĩmagũtuĩka ndungata ciaku nginya tene.”

⁸No we akĩrega kĩrĩra kĩa athuuri acio, agĩciira na aanake arĩa maakũrĩire hamwe nake na maamũtungatagĩra. ⁹Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kĩrĩra kĩanyu nĩ kĩrĩkũ? Tũgĩcookerie atĩa andũ aya manjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Tũhũthĩrĩrie icooki rĩrĩa thooguo aatũigĩrĩire’?”

¹⁰Nao aanake arĩa maakũrĩire hamwe nake magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ aya makwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Thooguo nĩaritũhirie icooki riitũ, no wee tũhũthĩrĩrie’—ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Kaara gakwa ka mũnini nĩ kanene gũkĩra njohero ya baaba.’ ¹¹Baaba nĩamũigĩrĩire icooki iritũ; no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baaba aamũhũũraga na iboko; no niĩ ngũmũhũũra na tũng'aurũ.”

¹²Thutha wa mĩthenya ĩtatũ Jeroboamu na andũ othe magĩcooka kũrĩ Rehoboamu, o ta ũrĩa mũthamaki aamerĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũcooke kũrĩ niĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ yathira.” ¹³Nake mũthamaki agĩcookeria andũ acio na njĩra ya ũũru. Akĩrega kĩrĩra kĩrĩa athuuri maamũheete, ¹⁴akĩmaarĩria o ta ũrĩa aanake maamũtaarĩte atĩrĩ: “Baaba nĩaritũhirie icooki rĩanyu; no niĩ nĩngũrĩritũhia makĩria. Baaba aamũhũũraga na iboko; no niĩ ngũmũhũũra na tũng'aurũ.”

¹⁵Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria andũ acio, tondũ ũgarũrũko ũcio wa maũndũ woimĩte kũrĩ Ithe witũ, nĩguo kiugo kĩrĩa Ithe witũ aarĩtie na kanua ka Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni kũrĩ Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati kĩhinge.

¹⁶Rĩrĩa Isiraeli oothe moonire atĩ mũthamaki nĩaregire kũmathikĩrĩria, makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ: “Tũrĩ na gĩcunjĩ kĩrĩkũ harĩ Daudi? Tũtirĩ na igai harĩ mũrũ wa Jese! Isiraeli, cookai hemainĩ cianyu! Rĩu wee Daudi, menyerera nyũmba yaku wee mwene!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli magĩcooka hemainĩ ciao.

¹⁷No Rehoboamu agĩthiĩ na mbere gwatha andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatũũraga matũũrainĩ ma Juda. ¹⁸Nake Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩtũma Adoramu, ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire wĩra wa hinya, no Isiraeli oothe makĩmũhũũra na mahiga magĩkua. Nake Mũthamaki Rehoboamu akĩhaica ngaari yake ya ita narua akĩũrĩra Jerusalemu. ¹⁹Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli matũire maremeire nyũmba ya Daudi nginya ũmũthĩ.

²⁰Rĩrĩa Isiraeli oothe maaiguire atĩ Jeroboamu nĩacookete, makĩmwĩta kĩũnganoinĩ, makĩmũtua mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe. Nĩ mũhĩrĩga wa Juda wiki warũmĩrĩire nyũmba ya Daudi.

²¹Rĩrĩa Rehoboamu aakinyire Jerusalemu, agĩcookanĩrĩria nyũmba yothe ya Juda na mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini—njamba cia ita 180,000 iria ciathuurĩtwo—nĩguo marũe na nyũmba ya Isiraeli, macookererie Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni ũthamaki.

²²No kiugo kĩa Ithe witũ gĩgĩũkĩrĩra Shemaia, mũndũ wa Ithe witũ, atĩrĩ:

²³“Ĩra Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni, mũthamaki wa Juda, na nyũmba yothe ya Juda na Benjamini, na andũ arĩa angĩ othe, atĩrĩ:

²⁴‘Ũũ nĩguo Ithe witũ ekuuga: Mũtikambate mũkarũe na ariũ a ithe wanyu, andũ a Isiraeli. O mũndũ nĩacooke mũciĩ, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũyũ woimĩte kũrĩ niĩ.’” Nao magĩathĩkĩra kiugo gĩake, magĩcooka mũciĩ o ta ũrĩa oigĩte.
