1Kwaye Ekufikeni kukaYarobheham eShekem, ngokuba amaSirayeli onke abeye kumenza ukumkani kwaShekem. 2Weva uYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati, eseYiputa, ngokuba wayebaleke ukumkani uSolomon; wahlala uYarobheham eYiputa, 3wathumela ukuba ambize. Weza ke uYarobheham nebandla lonke likaSirayeli, bathetha kuRehabheham, bathi, 4Uyihlo wasithwalela idyokhwe enzima; ke wena yenze lula inkonzo enzima kayihlo, nedyokhwe yakhe enzima ayibeke phezu kwethu, sikukhonze. 5Wathi kubo, Hambani niye iintsuku zibe ntathu, nibuye nize kum. Kwaye abantu bayahamba. 6Ukumkani uRehabheham wacebisana namadoda amakhulu, abesakuma phambi koSolomon uyise oko ebesahleli, wathi, Ninika cebo lini na nina, ukuba ndibanike ilizwi aba bantu? 7Athetha ke kuye, athi, Ukuba uthe namhla waba ngumkhonzi kwaba bantu, wabakhonza, wabaphendula, wathetha amazwi amahle kubo, boba ngabakhonzi bakho kude kuse ephakadeni. 8Kodwa walishiya icebiso awayelinikwe ngamadoda amakhulu, waya kucebisana nabafana abaziintanga zakhe ababemi ngakuye. 9Wathi kuwo, Ninika cebo lini na nina, ukuze sibanike ilizwi aba bantu bathethileyo kum, besithi, Yiba lula edyokhweni awayibeka phezu kwethu uyihlo? 10Athetha ke kuye amadodana aziintanga zakhe, esithi, Yithi kwaba bantu bathethe kuwe, besithi, Uyihlo wayithwala idyokhwe yethu enzima, senzele yona; wothi kubo, Ucikicane wam uya kuba mkhulu kunesinqe sikabawo. 11Ngoku ke, xa uBawo enithwalise idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kuyongeza idyokhwe yenu; 12Baya ke ooYarobheham nabantu bonke kuRehabheham ngomhla wesithathu, njengoko abewise umthetho ngako ukumkani, wathi, Yizani kum ngomhla wesithathu; 13Ukumkani wabaphendula abantu kalukhuni, walishiya icebo lamadoda amakhulu abemnike lona; 14Wathetha kubo ngecebo lamadodana, esithi, Ubawo wanithwalisa idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kuyandisa idyokhwe yenu; Ubawo wayenibetha ngeentsontelo, mna ke ndiya kunibetha ngeekatsi. 15Akabaphulaphulanga ke abantu ukumkani; ngenxa yokuba lo mbandela wawungokaYehova, ukuze aliphumeze ilizwi lakhe awalithethayo uYehova ngenkonzo ka-Ahiya uMoshilo kuYerobhoham unyana kaNebhati. 16Akubona ke onke amaSirayeli ukuba ukumkani akawaphulaphuli, abantu bambuyisela ukumkani ilizwi elithi, Sinasabelo sini na kuDavide? Asinalifa kunyana kaYese; Yiya ezintenteni zakho, Sirayeli, ukhangele indlu yakho, Davide; Yaye oonyana bakaSirayeli baya ezintenteni zabo. 17Ke oonyana bakaSirayeli, ababehleli emizini yakwaYuda, uRehabheham wabalawula. 18Ukumkani uRehabheham wathuma uAdoram, umbuthi werhafu; yaye bonke oonyana bakaSirayeli bamgibisela ngamatye, wafa. Ngoko ukumkani uRehobhoham wakhawuleza wamkhwelisa enqwelweni waza wasabela eYerusalem. 19Akreqa ke amaSirayeli kwindlu kaDavide, unanamhla. 20Evile ke onke amaSirayeli ukuba uYarobheham ubuyile, athumela ambizela ebandleni, amenza ukumkani kumaSirayeli onke; akwabakho mntu wakha wayilandela indlu kaDavide, yaba sisizwe sakwaYuda sodwa. 21Weza uRehabheham eYerusalem, wayihlanganisa yonke indlu yakwaYuda, nesizwe sakwaBhenjamin, amadoda anamandla, amadoda okulwa alikhulu elinamanci asibhozo anamabini, ukuba aye kulwa nendlu kaSirayeli, ukuba abuyele ezweni ubukumkani kuRehabheham, unyana kaSolomon. 22Lafika ke ilizwi likaThixo kuShemaya umfo wakwaThixo, lisithi: 23Yitsho kuRehabheham unyana kaSolomon, ukumkani wakwaYuda, nendlu yonke yakwaYuda, neyakwaBhenjamin, namasalela abantu, ukuthi, 24Wathi uYehova, Ize ninganyuki niye kulwa nabazalwana benu, oonyana bakaSirayeli; makabuyele elowo endlwini yakhe; ngokuba yeyam le nto. Bandula ke baliphulaphula ilizwi likaYehova baza babuya bahamba ngokwelizwi likaYehova. 25uYarobheham wayakha iShekem kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, wahlala kuyo; wemka apho wakha iPnuele. 26Wathi uYarobheham entliziyweni yakhe, Kaloku ubukumkani buya kubuyela endlwini kaDavide. 27Ukuba bathe benyuka aba bantu baya eYerusalem, baya kubingelela endlwini kaYehova, intliziyo yaba bantu yobuyela enkosini yabo, kuRehabheham, ukumkani wakwaYuda, bandibulale ke mna, nakuRehabheham ukumkani wakwaYuda Yuda, hamba uYuda. 28Ukumkani wacinga ukwenza amathole egolide abe mabini, wathi kubo, Ukunyuka siye eYerusalem kunzima; yabona, Sirayeli, oothixo bakho bakukhupha ezweni laseYiputa. 29Walimisa elinye eBheteli, walimisa elinye kwaDan. 30Yaba sisono loo nto; ngokuba abantu baqubuda elowo nowabo, besa kwaDan. 31Wenza indlu ephakamileyo waza wabeka ababingeleli kwelona nqanaba lisezantsi phakathi kwabantu ababengengoonyana bakaLevi. 32uYarobheham wenza umthendeleko ngenyanga yesibhozo, ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu enyangeni leyo, onjengomthendeleko wakwaYuda; Wenjenjalo naseBheteli, wabingelela amathole awawenzileyo; wabamisa ababingeleli beziganga awazenzayo eBheteli. 33Wenza umbingelelo esibingelelweni awasenzayo eBheteli, ngomhla weshumi elinesihlanu wenyanga yesibhozo, ngenyanga leyo abeyicamangile entliziyweni yakhe; Wabenzela umthendeleko oonyana bakaSirayeli, wawusondeza esibingelelweni, waqhumisela.
