12 ¶ Woboram moute lavil Sichèm kote tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.

Lè Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te nan peyi Lejip kote li te al kache pou Salomon an, pran nouvèl la, li kite peyi Lejip, li tounen nan peyi l'.

Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, y' al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:

-Salomon, papa ou, te di anpil ak nou, li te peze nou anpil. Koulye a, fè yon leve men pou nou. Kite nou viv yon ti jan pi alèz, n'a sèvi ou nèt ale.

Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi pèp la al fè wout li.

Woboram menm al jwenn chèf fanmi ki te sèvi konseye pou Salomon, papa l', lè l' t'ap viv, li mande yo: -Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la? Ki konsèy nou ban mwen?

Yo reponn li: -Si jòdi a ou fè pèp la wè se sèvi ou vle sèvi l', si ou asepte fè sa yo mande ou la, si ou pale byen ak yo, y'ap toujou sèvi ou.

Men, Woboram pa koute konsèy granmoun yo te ba li a, l' al jwenn jenn gason ki te leve ansanm avè l' yo, lèfini ki te toujou la avè l', li mande yo konsèy.

Li di yo: -Ki konsèy nou ta ban mwen? Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la k'ap mande m' pou m' fè yon leve men pou yo?

10 Jenn gason kanmarad li yo reponn li: -Men sa w'a di moun sa yo k'ap plenyen ba ou pou papa ou ki t'ap peze yo, epi k'ap mande ou fè yon leve men pou yo. W'a di yo: Si papa m' te di ak nou, mwen menm m'ap pi di pase l'.

11 Wi, w'a di yo: Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm m'ap mete sou chay la ankò. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.

12 Twa jou apre vre, Jewoboram tounen ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la vin jwenn wa Woboram jan li te di yo a.

13 Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.

14 Li reponn yo jan jenn gason yo te ba l' konsèy fè a. Li di yo: -Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm m'ap mete sou chay n'ap pote deja a. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.

15 Se konsa wa a pa t' asepte fè sa pèp la te mande l' la. Sa se travay Seyè a menm ki te vle pou sa li te voye Akija, pwofèt Silo a, al di Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, rive vre.

16 ¶ Lè pèp Izrayèl la wè wa a pa t' soti pou li fè sa yo te mande l' la, yo reponn wa a. Yo di li: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David. Nou pa bezwen anyen nan zafè pitit Izayi a. Ann al lakay nou, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo! Ann kite pitit David yo degaje yo pou kont yo ak fanmi yo! Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do al lakay yo.

17 Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.

18 Apre sa, wa Woboram voye Adoram ki te reskonsab travay kòve yo bò kote moun Izrayèl yo. Men moun Izrayèl yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri. Lè sa a, wa Woboram prese moute sou cha li, li kouri ale lavil Jerizalèm.

19 Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.

20 Lè moun peyi Izrayèl yo vin konnen Jewoboram te tounen soti peyi Lejip, yo voye chache l' pou l' vin nan yon reyinyon. Yo fè msye wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Se moun branch fanmi Jida yo ase ki te kenbe fèm ak fanmi David la.

21 Lè Woboram rive lavil Jerizalèm, li sanble sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda ki te nan branch fanmi Jida ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen pou l' al goumen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo, pou l' mete yo anba lòd li ankò.

22 Men, Bondye pale ak Chemaya, pwofèt li a, li di l' konsa:

23 -Pale ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun ki fè pati branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen. Di yo:

24 Men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye ba yo: Pa konprann pou n' al atake moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se fanmi nou yo ye. Tounen lakay nou. Sa ki rive a se travay mwen, se mwen ki vle l' konsa. Moun yo koute lòd Seyè a vre, yo tout al lakay yo jan Seyè a te di yo a.

25 ¶ Jewoboram ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Sichèm nan mòn peyi Efrayim. Se la l' al rete pou yon tan. Apre sa, li kite Sichèm, l' al ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Penwèl.

26 Lèfini, Jewoboram di nan kè li: -Jan sa ye koulye a, gouvènman an pral tounen nan men moun fanmi David yo ankò.

27 Paske, si pèp la gen pou moute lavil Jerizalèm chak lè pou touye bèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan, rive yon lè, y'ap tounen al jwenn Woboram, wa peyi Jida a. Lè sa a, y'a touye m' pou y' al jwenn li ankò.

28 Lè li fin fè lide sa a, li fè de estati towo an lò, epi li di pèp la: -Nou moute kont nou koulye a lavil Jerizalèm pou fè sèvis. Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, men bondye pa nou, bondye ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip.

29 Li mete yonn nan estati towo yo lavil Betèl, li mete lòt la lavil Dann.

30 Se konsa pèp la rive fè sa ki mal. Y' al fè sèvis pou zidòl yo lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.

31 Jewoboram al bati lòt kay zidòl sou tèt kèk mòn. Li chwazi kèk gason nan pèp la ki pa t' nan branch fanmi Levi yo pou sèvi prèt.

32 Jewoboram chwazi kenzyèm jou nan wityèm mwa a pou yon jou fèt, tankou fèt yo fè nan peyi Jida a. Sou lotèl lavil Betèl la, li touye bèt pou estati towo li te fè fè yo. Lèfini, se la lavil Betèl ankò li mete prèt ki pou sèvi nan lòt kote li te bati pou fè sèvis yo.

33 Se konsa, sou kenzyèm jou wityèm mwa a, jou li menm li te chwazi a, li moute lavil Betèl, l' al touye bèt sou lotèl la pou fete fèt li menm li te fè lide fete pou pèp Izrayèl la.

Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)

12 Rehoboam went to Shechem,(B) for all Israel had gone there to make him king. When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from[a] Egypt. So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him: “Your father put a heavy yoke(D) on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”

Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then come back to me.” So the people went away.

Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(E) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.

They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer,(F) they will always be your servants.”

But Rehoboam rejected(G) the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 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, “These 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 the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by 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(H) 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 the Lord,(I) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah(J) the Shilonite.

16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:

“What share(K) do we have in David,
    what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(L)
    Look after your own house, David!”

So the Israelites went home.(M) 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah,(N) Rehoboam still ruled over them.

18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[b](O) who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death.(P) 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(Q) to this day.

20 When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.(R)

21 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mustered all Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war(S) against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam son of Solomon.

22 But this word of God came to Shemaiah(T) the man of God:(U) 23 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to all Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, 24 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered.

Golden Calves at Bethel and Dan

25 Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem(V) in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.[c](W)

26 Jeroboam thought to himself, “The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David. 27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem,(X) they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam.”

28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves.(Y) He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(Z) 29 One he set up in Bethel,(AA) and the other in Dan.(AB) 30 And this thing became a sin;(AC) the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.[d]

31 Jeroboam built shrines(AD) on high places and appointed priests(AE) from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth(AF) month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel,(AG) sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made. 33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel.(AH) So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.
