2 Cronica 12
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nilusob ni Shisak ang Jerusalem(A)
12 Nang matatag na ang paghahari ni Rehoboam at makapangyarihan na siya, itinakwil niya at ng buong Israel ang kautusan ng Panginoon. 2 Dahil hindi sila matapat sa Panginoon, nilusob ni Haring Shisak ng Egipto, ang Jerusalem noong ikalimang taon ng paghahari ni Rehoboam. 3 Kasama ni Shisak ang 1,200 karwahe, 60,000 mangangabayo at napakaraming sundalo, na ang iba sa kanilaʼy galing pa sa Libya, Sukot at Etiopia. 4 Sinakop ni Shisak ang napapaderang lungsod ng Juda at lumusob hanggang sa Jerusalem.
5 Pagkatapos, pumunta si Propeta Shemaya kay Rehoboam at sa mga pinuno ng Juda na tumakas sa Jerusalem dahil sa takot kay Shisak. Sinabi ni Shemaya sa kanila, “Ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon: Itinakwil nʼyo ako, kaya ngayon, pababayaan ko kayo kay Shisak.”
6 Nagpakumbaba ang hari at ang mga pinuno ng Israel. Sinabi nila, “Matuwid ang Panginoon!”
7 Nang makita ng Panginoon na silaʼy nagpakumbaba, sinabi ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Shemaya, “Dahil nagpakumbaba sila, hindi ko sila lilipulin at hindi magtatagal ay palalayain ko sila. 8 Pero ipapasakop ko sila sa kanya para matutuhan nila na mas mabuti ang maglingkod sa akin kaysa sa paglingkuran ang mga makalupang hari.”
9 Nang nilusob ni Haring Shisak ng Egipto ang Jerusalem, ipinakuha niya ang mga kayamanan sa templo ng Panginoon at sa palasyo. Kinuha niya ang lahat, pati ang lahat ng pananggalang na ginto na ipinagawa ni Solomon. 10 Kaya nagpagawa si Haring Rehoboam ng mga pananggalang na tanso na kapalit ng mga ito, at ipinamahala niya ito sa mga opisyal ng mga guwardya ng pintuan ng palasyo. 11 At kapag pupunta ang hari sa templo ng Panginoon, sasama sa kanya ang mga tagapagbantay na nagdadala ng mga pananggalang na ito, at pagkatapos, ibabalik din nila ito sa kanilang kwarto.
12 Dahil nagpakumbaba si Rehoboam, nawala ang galit ng Panginoon sa kanya, at hindi siya nalipol nang lubos. May natira pang kabutihan sa Juda.
13 Lalong tumatag ang pamamahala ni Haring Rehoboam at nagpatuloy siya sa paghahari roon sa Jerusalem. Siyaʼy 41 taong gulang nang maging hari, at naghari siya ng 17 taon sa Jerusalem, ang lungsod na pinili ng Panginoon sa lahat ng lahi ng Israel, kung saan pararangalan siya. Ang ina ni Rehoboam ay si Naama na isang Ammonita. 14 Pero gumawa ng kasamaan si Rehoboam dahil hindi siya naghangad na hanapin ang Panginoon.
15 Ang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Rehoboam mula sa umpisa hanggang sa katapusan ay nakasulat sa Aklat ni Propeta Shemaya at Aklat ni Propeta Iddo, na talaan ng mga salinlahi. Nagpatuloy ang paglalaban nina Rehoboam at Jeroboam. 16 Nang mamatay si Rehoboam, inilibing siya sa Lungsod ni David. At ang anak niyang si Abijah ang pumalit sa kanya bilang hari.
2 Chronicles 12
New King James Version
Egypt Attacks Judah(A)
12 Now (B)it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that (C)he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel along with him. 2 (D)And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord, 3 with twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horsemen, and people without number who came with him out of Egypt—(E)the Lubim and the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians. 4 And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.
5 Then (F)Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord: ‘You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak.’ ”
6 So the leaders of Israel and the king (G)humbled themselves; and they said, (H)“The Lord is righteous.”
7 Now when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, (I)the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless (J)they will be his servants, that they may distinguish (K)My service from the service of the kingdoms of the nations.”
9 (L)So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had (M)made. 10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them (N)to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house. 11 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guard would go and bring them out; then they would take them back into the guardroom. 12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.
The End of Rehoboam’s Reign(O)
13 Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now (P)Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, (Q)the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an (R)Ammonitess. 14 And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
15 The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, (S)and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? (T)And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 16 So Rehoboam [a]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then (U)Abijah[b] his son reigned in his place.
