2 Chronicles 12
Maori Bible
12 Nawai a, no te unga o te kingitanga o Rehopoama, a ka whai kaha ia, whakarerea ake e ia te ture a Ihowa, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa.
2 Na i te rima o nga tau o Kingi Rehopoama ka haere mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, kua whakakeke nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa,
3 Me nga hariata tekau ma rua rau, me nga hoia eke hoiho e ono tekau mano: kahore hoki he tauanga o te hunga i haere tahi mai i a ia i Ihipa; ko nga Rupimi, ko nga Hukiimi, ko nga Etiopiana.
4 Na kua riro i a ia nga pa taiepa o Hura, a ka tae ki Hiruharama.
5 Katahi a Hemaia poropiti ka haere mai ki a Rehopoama, ki nga rangatira o Hura i huihui nei ki Hiruharama i te wehi i a Hihaka, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua whakarerea ahau e koutou, no reira kua waiho atu koutou e ahau ki te ringa o Hihaka.
6 Katahi ka whakaiti nga rangatira o Iharaira me te kingi i a ratou, ka mea, He tika a Ihowa.
7 A, no te kitenga o Ihowa kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia; i mea ia, Kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou; e kore ratou e huna e ahau; engari ka hoatu e ahau ki a ratou he oranga, he mea iti nei; e kore hoki toku riri e t ahoroa ki runga ki Hiruharama e te ringa o Hihaka.
8 Otiia ka meinga ratou hei pononga mana; kia mohio ai ratou ki taku mahi, ki te mahi ano a nga kingitanga o nga whenua.
9 Heoi haere ana mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, tangohia ana e ia nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi: riro katoa ana i a ia: tangohia ana ano e ia nga pukupuku koura i hanga nei e Horomona.
10 Na ka hanga e Kingi Rehopoama etahi pukupuku parahi hei whakakapi mo era, a tukua ana e ia ki te ringa o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, i tiaki nei i te tatau o te whare o te kingi.
11 Na i te wa i haere ai te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ka haere nga kaitiaki ki te tiki, a whakahokia ana e ratou ki te whare o nga kaitiaki.
12 Na i a ia ka whakaiti i a ia, ka tahuri atu te riri o Ihowa i a ia, kia kaua ia e whakangaromia rawatia e ia: he pai hoki nga mea i kitea ki a Hura.
13 Heoi kua u a Kingi Rehopoama ki Hiruharama hei kingi: e wha tekau ma tahi hoki nga tau o Rehopoama i a ia ka meinga hei kingi, a kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i nga iwi katoa o I haraira hei waihotanga iho mo tona ingoa. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni.
14 He kino tana mahi; kihai hoki i whakatikaia e ia tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa.
15 Na, ko nga meatanga a Rehopoama, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Hemaia poropiti, ki ta Iro matakite ano, kei reira nei nga korero whakapapa? Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa.
16 Na kua moe a Rehopoama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Apia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

Shishak Attacks Jerusalem(A)
12 After Rehoboam’s position as king was established(B) and he had become strong,(C) he and all Israel[a](D) with him abandoned(E) the law of the Lord. 2 Because they had been unfaithful(F) to the Lord, Shishak(G) king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam. 3 With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen and the innumerable troops of Libyans,(H) Sukkites and Cushites[b](I) that came with him from Egypt, 4 he captured the fortified cities(J) of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah(K) came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon(L) you to Shishak.’”
6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled(M) themselves and said, “The Lord is just.”(N)
7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance.(O) My wrath(P) will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 They will, however, become subject(Q) to him, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9 When Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem, he carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields(R) Solomon had made. 10 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. 11 Whenever the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards went with him, bearing the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled(S) himself, the Lord’s anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. Indeed, there was some good(T) in Judah.
13 King Rehoboam established(U) himself firmly in Jerusalem and continued as king. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name.(V) His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. 14 He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord.
15 As for the events of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah(W) the prophet and of Iddo the seer that deal with genealogies? There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 16 Rehoboam(X) rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah(Y) his son succeeded him as king.
