Ngele oto pupaleke omitenge ndhika e to tu vululukitha, otatu ningi aapiya yoye.”
5 Rehoboam okwa yamukula a ti: “Galukeni, nge pwa piti omasiku gatatu, otandi ke mu yamukula.” Oyo noya yi.
6 Omukwaniilwa Rehoboam okwa pula omayele kaasamane aakulupe mboka ya li haa pe he Salomo omayele. Okwe ya pula a ti: “Otamu pe ndje eyamukulo lya tya ngiini, ndi yamukule aantu mbaka?”
7 Aasamane oya yamukula ya ti: “Ngele owa hala, u ninge aantu mbaka nawa, gandja eyamukulo li na olukeno mushoka taa pula, oyo notaa ke ku longela aluhe nuudhiginini.”
8 Rehoboam okwa dhini omayele gaasamane aakulupe nokwa yi kaagundjuka yepipi lye mboka ya li ya putukila pamwe naye noya li aagandjindunge ye. 9 Okwe ya pula a ti: “Otandi ka tya ngiini kaantu mbo ya pula ndje, ndi ya pupalekele omitenge dhawo?”
10 Oyo ya yamukula ya ti: “Ya lombwela to ti: ‘Okanwegona kandje okanene ke vule oombwetelo dhatate!’ 11 Ya lombwela to ti: ‘Tate okwe mu tsike omitenge omidhigu; ngame otandi ke dhi dhigupaleka noonkondo. Okwe mu dhenge nongola; ngame otandi ke mu kwinunitha ekoosa!’ ”
12 Omasiku gatatu sho ga piti po, Jeroboam naantu ayehe oya galukile komukwaniilwa Rehoboam, ngaashi e ya tseyithilile. 13 Omukwaniilwa okwa dhini omayele gaasamane aakulupe e ta vavele aantu, 14 ngaashi a taamba omayele gaagundjuka. Okwa ti: “Tate okwe mu tsike omitenge omidhigu; ngame otandi ka gwedha ko, dhi dhigupale. Okwe mu dhenge nongola; ngame otandi ke mu kwinunitha ekoosa!” 15 Shika osha li ehalo lyOmuwa, a gwanithe shoka a popile kuJeroboam yaNebat momuhunganeki Ahija gwokuShilo. Omolwashoka omukwaniilwa ina pupa ko nando kaantu, e ya pulakene.
16 Aantu sho ya mono kutya nani omukwaniilwa ite ya pulakene, oyi igidha ya ti: “Otu na shike naDavid negumbo lye nuuthiga womuna gwaIsai? Oye tu ningile shike? Aaisraeli ne, tu yeni komagumbo. Rehoboam na tale sho ta ningi!”
Osho ngaaka Aaisraeli ya pindjala 17 noya thigi po Rehoboam, a kale ashike omukwaniilwa gwaantu mboka ye li moshikandjo shaJuda.
18 Nena omukwaniilwa Rehoboam okwa tumu Adoniram, ngoka a li omuwiliki gwiilonga ya thiminikwa, a ye kAaisraeli, ihe oye mu dhipaga nomamanya. Opo mpoka Rehoboam okwa nukile metembakwiita lye e ta yi ontuku kuJerusalem. 19 Okuza mpoka aantu yokuumbangalantu waIsrael oyi iteka ezimo lyaDavid.
