2 Chronicles 10
Maori Bible
10 Na ka haere a Rehopoama ki Hekeme: kua tae mai hoki a Iharaira katoa ki Hekeme ki te whakakingi i a ia.
2 A, no te rongonga o Ieropoama tama a Nepata; i Ihipa hoki ia, i rere hoki ki reira i te aroaro o Kingi Horomona; na hoki mai ana a Ieropoama i Ihipa.
3 Na ka tono tangata ratou ki te tiki i a ia. A ka haere a Ieropoama ratou ko Iharaira katoa, ka korero ki a Rehopoama, ka mea,
4 He pakeke te ioka i meatia e tou papa ki a matou: na mau e whakamama ake te mahi pakeke a tou papa me tana ioka taimaha i meatia e ia ki a matou, a ka mahi matou ki a koe.
5 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kia toru ra, ka hoki mai ki ahau. Na haere ana te iwi.
6 Na ka runanga a Kingi Rehopoama ki nga kaumatua i tu i te aroaro o tona papa, o Horomona, i a ia i te ora, ka mea, Ki to koutou whakaaro me pehea te kupu e whakahokia e ahau ki tenei iwi?
7 Na ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea ka pai tau ki tenei iwi, a ka whakamanawareka koe i a ratou, a ka pai nga korero e korerotia e koe ki a ratou, na ko ratou hei pononga mau i nga ra katoa.
8 Otiia whakarerea ake e ia te whakaaro i whakatakotoria mana e nga kaumatua, a runanga ana ki nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi nei me ia, i tu nei ki tona aroaro.
9 I mea ia ki a ratou, Ki to koutou whakaaro me pehea te kupu e whakahokia e tatou ki tenei hunga i korero mai nei ki ahau, i mea mai nei, Whakamamakia ake te ioka i meatia e tou papa ki a matou?
10 Na ka korero ki a ia nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi nei me ia, ka mea, Kia penei tau ki atu ki tenei hunga i korero mai nei ki a koe, i mea mai nei, I whakataimahatia e tou papa to matou ioka, na kia mama tau ki a matou; kia penei tau ki atu ki a ratou, ko toku maihao iti, ka nui atu i te hope o toku papa.
11 Na, i whakawaha e toku papa he ioka taimaha ki a koutou, ka tapiritia e ahau tetahi atu mea ki to koutou ioka; he wepu ta toku papa i whiu ai i a koutou, otiia ka whiua koutou e ahau ki te kopiona.
12 Heoi kua tae a Ieropoama ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a Rehopoama i te toru o nga ra; ko ta te kingi hoki tena i korero ai, i a ia i mea ra, Hoki mai ki ahau i te toru o nga ra.
13 A pakeke tonu ta te kingi i whakahoki ai ki a ratou; whakarerea ake e Rehopoama te whakaaro o nga kaumatua,
14 Ka korero ki a ratou i runga i to nga taitama whakaaro, a ka mea, I whakataimahatia to koutou ioka e toku papa, heoi ka tapiritia atu ano e ahau: i whiua koutou e toku papa ki te wepu, ka whiua ia koutou e ahau ki te kopiona.
15 Heoi kihai i rongo te kingi ki ta te iwi; na te Atua hoki te take, kia mana ai tana kupu i korero ai a Ihowa, na te mangai o Ahia Hironi ki a Ieropoama tama a Nepata.
16 A, no te kitenga o Iharaira katoa kihai te kingi i rongo ki ta ratou, ka utua e te iwi te kingi; ka mea ratou, Ko te aha ianei to matou wahi i a Rawiri? kahore nei hoki o tatou wahi tupu i te tama a Hehe: ki o koutou teneti, e Iharaira! na kia w hai kanohi koe ki tou whare, e Rawiri! Heoi haere ana a Iharaira katoa ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
17 Ko nga tama ia a Iharaira e noho ana i nga pa o Hura, ko Rehopoama i kingi mo ratou.
18 Katahi ka tono a Kingi Rehopoama i te rangatira takoha, i a Harorama; a akina ana ia e nga tama a Iharaira ki te kohatu, a mate iho. Na hohoro tonu te eke o Kingi Rehopoama ki tona hariata, a rere ana ki Hiruharama.
19 Heoi whakakeke ana a Iharaira ki te whare o Rawiri, a taea noatia tenei ra.

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam(B) son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel(D) went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us,(E) but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(F) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer,(G) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(H) the advice the elders(I) gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “The people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered them harshly. Rejecting the advice of the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God,(J) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.(K)
16 When all Israel(L) saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share do we have in David,(M)
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!
Look after your own house, David!”
So all the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](N) who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

King James Version
10 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
