12 Robhoamu aenda ku Sikemu, thangwi Aizraeli onsene akhadaenda ku Sikemu+ toera kun’khazikisa ninga mambo.+ 2 Yerobhoamu mwana wa Nebhati pidabva iye pyenepi, (iye akhali ku Ejitu thangwi akhadathawa Mambo Salomoni mbaenda kakhala ku Ejitu).+ 3 Natenepa iwo ancemeresa. Buluka penepo, Yerobhoamu na nsoka onsene wa Aizraeli, aenda kaonana na Robhoamu, mbampanga: 4 “Babanu alemeresa mitolo yathu.+ Imwe mungafewesa basa yakuwanga idatipasa babanu, mbamululupisa mitolo yakulemera idatithukisa iye, ife tinakutumikirani.”

5 Penepo iye aapanga: “Ndokoni; mbwenye bwerani pontho kuna ine zingapita ntsiku zitatu.” Natenepa mbumba yaenda.+ 6 Buluka penepo mambo Robhoamu abvundzisa amuna akulu* akuti Salomoni pai wace Robhoamu mbadzati kufa, akhadatumikira ninga anyakupereka uphungu kuna iye. Robhoamu aabvundza: “Ndi uphungu upi unafuna imwe kundipasa toera nditawire mbumba iyi?” 7 Iwo antawira: “Imwe lero mungakhala ntumiki wa mbumba iyi, mungacita pidakuphembani iwo, pontho mbamuatawira mwadidi, ndzidzi onsene iwo anakhala atumiki anu.”

8 Mbwenye iye akhonda uphungu udapaswa iye na amuna akulu,* mbaenda kaphemba uphungu wa aphale adakula pabodzi na iye akuti pa ndzidzi unoyu akhali atumiki ace.+ 9 Iye aabvundza: “Ndi uphungu upi unafuna imwe kundipasa toera titawire mbumba iyi idandipanga kuti: ‘Lulupisani mitolo yakulemera idatithukisa babanu’?” 10 Aphale adakula pabodzi na iye ampanga: “Mbumba idakupangani kuti: ‘Babanu alemeresa mitolo yathu, mbwenye imwe musafunika kuilulupisa,’ imwe musafunika kuipanga tenepa: ‘Cala canga cing’ono ca m’manja cinadzakhala cikulu kupiringana cunu ca babanga. 11 Babanga akuthukisani mitolo yakulemera, mbwenye ine ndinathimizira mitolo yanu. Babanga akutcunyusani na mitcamu, mbwenye ine ndinadzakutcunyusani na mitcamu ya minga.’”*

12 Yerobhoamu na mbumba yonsene, aenda kuna Robhoamu pa ntsiku yacitatu, ninga mukhadalongera mambo kuti: “Bwererani kuna ine zingapita ntsiku zitatu.”+ 13 Mbwenye mambo atawira mbumba mwaukali, mbapwaza uphungu udapaswa iye na amuna akulu.* 14 Iye aapanga mwakubverana na uphungu udapaswa iye na aphale, mbalonga: “Babanga alemeresa mitolo yanu, mbwenye ine ndinaithimizira. Babanga akutcunyusani na mitcamu, mbwenye ine ndinakutcunyusani na mitcamu ya minga.” 15 Natenepa mambo nee abvera mbumba, thangwi ndi Yahova+ akhacitisa pinthu pyenepi toera akwanirisike mafala adalonga Yahova kuna Yerobhoamu mwana wa Nebhati kubulukira kuna Aiya+ wa ku Silo.

16 Aizraeli onsene pidaona iwo kuti mambo akhonda kuabvera, iwo apanga mambo: “Ife nkhabe ubale na Dhavidhi! Unthaka wa mwana wa Yese mbukhale na iye. Imwe Aizraeli, bwererani kuna alungu anu.* Imwe anthu a dzindza ya Dhavidhi, tsalakanani mwekhene umaso wanu!” Natenepa Aizraeli abwerera m’manyumba* mwawo.+ 17 Mbwenye Robhoamu apitiriza kutonga Aizraeli akakhala m’mizinda ya ku Yuda.+

18 Buluka penepo, Mambo Robhoamu atuma Adhoramu+ wakuti akhaonera ale akhacemerwa toera kuphata basa yakukakamizwa, mbwenye Aizraeli onsene am’menya na miyala mpaka kufa. Mambo Robhoamu akwanisa kukwira ngolo yace ya nkhondo mbathawira ku Yerusalemu.+ 19 Natenepa Aizraeli apitiriza kusandukira+ dzindza ya Dhavidhi mpaka lero.

20 Aizraeli onsene pidabva iwo kuti Yerobhoamu abwera, iwo ancemeresa pakati pa mbumba mban’khazikisa ninga mambo wa Aizraeli onsene.+ Nkhabepo anthu anango adaphedzera dzindza ya Dhavidhi kusiyapo dzindza ya Yuda.+

21 Robhoamu pidafika iye ku Yerusalemu, mwakukhonda dembuka acemeresa anyankhondo a maluso* akukwana 180.000 a dzindza yonsene ya Yuda na ya Bhenjamini kuti aende kamenyane na dzindza ya Izraeli toera kubwezera utongi kuna Robhoamu mwana wa Salomoni.+ 22 Penepo Semaya+ ntumiki wa Mulungu wandimomwene atambira mafala a Mulungu wandimomwene, mbalonga: 23 “Panga Robhoamu mwana wa Salomoni mambo wa Yuda, dzindza yonsene ya Yuda na ya Bhenjamini, kuphatanizambo anthu anango onsene, 24 ‘Yahova alonga tenepa: “Lekani kuenda kamenyana na abale anu a dzindza ya Izraeli. M’bodzi na m’bodzi wa imwe asafunika kubwerera kunyumba kwace, thangwi ndine adacitisa pyenepi.”’”+ Penepo iwo abvera fala ya Yahova mbabwerera m’manyumba mwawo mwakubverana na pidaapanga Yahova.

25 Yerobhoamu atsidzikiza* nzinda wa Sikemu+ kucisa ca mapiri ca ku Efraimu mbakhala kweneko. Pidabuluka iye kweneko aenda katsidzikiza* nzinda wa Penuweli.+ 26 Yerobhoamu alonga muntima mwace: “Cincino umambo unabwerera kuna dzindza ya Dhavidhi.+ 27 Mbumba iyi ingapitiriza kuenda ku Yerusalemu+ kapereka ntsembe panyumba ya Yahova, mitima yawo inabwerera kuna mbuyawo Robhoamu, mambo wa ku Yuda. Inde, iwo anadzandipha mbabwerera kuna Mambo Robhoamu wa ku Yuda.” 28 Pidamala iwo kupasana uphungu, mambo acita anang’ombe awiri a ouro+ mbapanga mbumba: “Ndi pyakunentsa kakamwe kuna imwe kuenda ku Yerusalemu. Imwe Aizraeli, uyu ndi Mulungu adakubulusani mu dziko ya Ejitu.”+ 29 Natenepa iye akwata mwanang’ombe m’bodzi mbamuikha ku Bheteli,+ unango amuikha ku Dhani.+ 30 Pyenepi pyacitisa anthu kudawa,+ pontho anthu akhaenda mpaka ku Dhani toera kalambira mwanang’ombe akhali kweneko.

31 Iye amanga nyumba pa nthunda toera kulambira alungu n’nyumba zenezi, pontho asankhula anthu pakati pa mbumba akuti nee akhali Alevi+ toera atumikire ninga anyantsembe. 32 Yerobhoamu acitambo phwando pa ntsiku 15 ya mwezi wacisere, ninga idacitika ku Yuda.+ Iye apereka ntsembe kuna anang’ombe adacita iye pa guwa idasasanya iye ku Bheteli,+ pontho iye akhazikisa anyantsembe ku Bheteli toera atumikire pa mbuto za padzulu zidacita iye. 33 Pa ntsiku 15 ya mwezi wacisere, wakuti ndi mwezi udasankhula iye, atoma kupereka ntsembe pa guwa idacita iye ku Bheteli; pontho iye acitira phwando mbumba ya Izraeli mbaenda pa guwa toera kupereka ntsembe na kuzipucirisa.
