2 Yeroboamu mughala wa Nebati mwowa ekyo (oko mughulu oyo abya iniakine e Misri. Mwatibitayo busana n’erisagha omwami Solomona, neryo abya iniabirikala e Misri).
3 Neryo abandu mubayamurondya. Enyuma sy’aho, Yeroboamu n’Abaisraeli bosi mubayasungana na Rehoboamu, bamamubwira bati:

5 Neryo omwami Rehoboamu mwabasubirya ati: “Musube hano habilaba biro bisatu.” Neryo abandu mubaghenda.
6 Enyuma sy’aho, omwami Rehoboamu mwayasaba erihano ry’abasyakulu abakola na baba wiwe Solomona omughulu abya iniakineho. Mwababulya ati: “Mwamanihana muti nisubiraye abandu aba bo nitiki?”

8 Aliwe mwatakwama erihano eryo basyakulu bamuha, neryo mwayarondya erihano oko balwana abakula haghuma naye kandi ababya bakamukolera oko mughulu oyo.
9 Mwabulya abalwana abo ati: “Abandu aba mubakanibwira bati, ‘Isiwakalaya amaisa wetu ngoko baba waghu akola,’* neryo mwamanihana muti nibasubiraye nitiki?”
10 Abalwana abakula haghuma na Rehoboamu mubamusubirya bati: “Abandu abalyakubwira bati, ‘Baba waghu mwaleka amaisa wetu iniakala,* aliwe iwe isiwakalayagho,’ ubabwire uti, ‘Akasanwe kaghe* kakendibya kanene kulenga embindi ya baba waghe.*
11 Baba waghe mwaleka amaisa wenyu iniakala,* aliwe ingye ngenditasyakalyagho kutsibu okw’aho. Baba waghe iniakabahunza omo hifimbo hya bule-bule, aliwe ingye ngendibya ngabahunza omo syofimbo esiriko ehyuma ehiyitsongire.’”
12 Neryo ekiro ky’akasatu kyabere kyahika, Yeroboamu n’abandu bosi mubayasungana na Rehoboamu, kundi omwami Rehoboamu mwababwira ati: “Musube hano habilaba biro bisatu.”
13 Aliwe omwami mwakaramirabo, mwatakwama erihano eryo basyakulu bamuha.
14 Mwakwama erihano ry’abalwana, neryo amabasubirya ati: “Baba waghe mwaleka amaisa wenyu iniakala,* aliwe ingye ngenditasyakalyagho kutsibu okw’aho. Baba waghe iniakabahunza omo hifimbo hya bule-bule, aliwe ingye ngendibya ngabahunza omo syofimbo esiriko ehyuma ehiyitsongire.”
15 Neryo omwami mwatakwama eby’abandu, kundi Yehova yo wabya akasondola emyatsi yitoke erighenda yitya, kusangwa kyabya ikitolere ebinywa ebyo Yehova abwira Yeroboamu mughala wa Nebati erilabira Ahiya owe Shilo ibyabererera.
16 Omughulu Abaisraeli bosi balangira ngoko omwami syetakwama ebyabo, mubamubwira bati: “Kwesi situli b’oko kihanda kya Daudi! N’omughala wa Yese sihali ekyo angatuha. Inywe Baisraeli, obuli mundu asube eyiri emiungu yiwe! Neryo lino Daudi, sulubirira ekihanda kyaghu!” Enyuma sy’aho, Abaisraeli mubasuba omo manyumba* wabo.
17 Aliwe Rehoboamu mwaendelea eritabala Abaisraeli ababya bikere omo miyi ye Yuda.

22 Neryo oMungu w’ekwenene mwabwira Shemaya, omundu w’oMungu w’ekwenene, ati:
23 “Ubwire Rehoboamu, mughala wa Solomona, omwami we Yuda, n’abandu bosi b’omo kihanda kya Yuda n’ekya Benyamini, n’abandi bandu bosi uti,
24 ‘Yehova akabugha ati: “Isimwayalwa n’abaghala benyu Abaisraeli. Obuli mundu asube ewiwe, kundi n’ingye niryaleka ebyo ibyabya.”’” Neryo mubowa ebyo Yehova alyabugha, bamasuba ewabo, ngoko Yehova anabwirabo.
25 Neryo Yeroboamu mwatasyahimba* omuyi we Shekemu owali omo kiharo ky’Ebitwa kye Efraimu, amikalayo. Enyuma sy’aho, mwaluayo, amatasyahimba* omuyi we Penueli.
26 Yeroboamu mwayibwira omo mutima ati: “Obwami bukendisuba omo kihanda kya Daudi.
27 Abandu aba bamabibya bakayaherera amahere omo nyumba ya Yehova eyiri e Yerusalema, ibakenditasyakwama omukama wabo ye Rehoboamu, omwami we Yuda. Oko kwenene, ibakendiniita, neryo ibatasyakwama Rehoboamu, omwami we Yuda.”
28 Omwami mwabya abirondya erihano oko bahani biwe, mwakokotya esyosanamu ibiri sy’ebyana by’esyonde omo horo, neryo mwabwira abandu ati: “Erihetukira e Yerusalema si kikabaluhaya! OMungu wenyu y’oyu, inywe Baisraeli. Oyo yo wabalusaya e Misri.”
