11 Tata abikile ikoli ilyafina pali imwe, lelo ine nkalenga likafinineko. Tata alemuma ifikoti pa ku mukanda, lelo ine nkalamufopaula ifikoti ifikali sana.’”
12 Yeroboamu na bantu bonse babweleele ku Mfumu Rehoboamu pa bushiku bwalenga shitatu, nga filya fine yabebele aiti: “Mukabwele pa numa ya nshiku shitatu.”+
13 Lelo imfumu yabaswike bukali bukali. E fyo Imfumu Rehoboamu yasuulile amano ayo abakalamba baipandile.

Mwe bena Israele bonse kabiyeni mu kupepa balesa benu! Nomba iwe Davidi+ wakulaisungila ing’anda yobe.” E lyo abena Israele babweleele ku mayanda* yabo.+
17 Lelo Rehoboamu alitwalilile ukuteka abena Israele abaleikala mu misumba ya kwa Yuda.+
18 Lyena Imfumu Rehoboamu yatumine Hadoramu+ uwaleangalila abo bapeele umulimo wa kulaya mu kubombela imfumu, lelo abena Israele balimupoolele amabwe mpaka afwa. Imfumu Rehoboamu yaninine mwi celeta yafulumukila na ku Yerusalemu.+
