1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Na no te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Ieropoama tama a Nepata i kingi ai a Apiama ki a Hura.
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
E toru nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
Na i haere ia i runga i nga hara katoa i mea ai tona papa i mua atu i a ia: kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o tona tupuna, o Rawiri.
4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
Otiia he whakaaro ki a Rawiri homai ana e Ihowa, e tona Atua he rama ki a ia i Hiruharama kia whakaarahia ake ai tana tama i muri i a ia, kia whakapumautia ai hoki a Hiruharama:
5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
Mo Rawiri i mahi tika ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a kihai i peka ke i nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia, ko te meatanga anake ki a Uria Hiti.
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Apiama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? He whawhai hoki ta Apiama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua.
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
Na kua moe a Apiama ki ona matua, a tanumia ana e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri. A ko tana tama, ko Aha te kingi i muri i a ia.
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
Na no te rua tekau o nga tau o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Aha ki a Hura.
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
A e wha tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
A tika tonu te mahi a Aha ki te aroaro o Ihowa, rite tonu ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
I peia atu hoki e ia te hunga whakahoroma i te whenua, whakakorea atu ana e ia nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e ona matua.
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
I whakamutua ano e ia te kuinitanga o Maaka, o tona whaea, mona i hanga whakapakoko wehi hei Ahera; tapatapahia iho hoki e Aha tana whakapakoko, tahuna ake ki te taha o te awa, o Kitirono.
14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
Otiia kihai i whakakorea nga wahi tiketike. He ahakoa ra, i tapatahi te ngakau o Aha ki a Ihowa i ona ra katoa.
15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
I kawea hoki e ia nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, me ana mea ano i whakatapu ai, ki te whare o Ihowa, te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko.
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
He whawhai hoki ta Aha ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
Na ka haere a Paaha kingi o Iharaira ki Hura, a hanga ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tetahi e tukua kia haere atu, kia haere mai ki a Aha kingi o Hura.
18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
Katahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te koura i mahue o nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga tangata: a hoatu ana e Kingi Aha kia kawea ki a Peneharara tama a Taparimono, ta ma a Hetiono kingi o Hiria, i Ramahiku nei tona kainga; i mea ia,
19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
He kawenata ta taua, ta toku papa raua ko tou papa: tena taku hakari mau te kawea atu na, he hiriwa, he koura; haere mai whakataka tau kawenata ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira kia haere atu ai ia i toku taha.
20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
Na rongo tonu a Peneharara ki a Kingi Aha, a unga ana e ia nga rangatira o ana ope ki nga pa o Iharaira, a patua iho e ia a Ihono, a Rana, a Apere Petemaaka, me Kinerota katoa, me te whenua katoa o Napatari.
21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
Na, i te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tana hanga i Rama, a noho ana ki Tirita.
22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
Katahi ka karanga nui a Kingi Aha puta noa i Hura; kihai tetahi i tukua noatia atu: a taria atu ana e ratou nga kohatu o Rama, me nga rakau o reira i hanga nei e Paaha, hei hanga ma Kingi Aha i Kepa o Pineamine, i Mihipa hoki.
23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
Na, ko era atu meatanga katoa a Aha me ana mahi marohirohi, me nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me nga pa i hanga e ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? Otiia i tona koroheketanga i mate ona waewae.
24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
Na ka moe a Aha ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
Na no te rua o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Natapa tama a Ieropoama ki a Iharaira; a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki a Iharaira.
26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
A he kino tana mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; i haere hoki ia i te ara o tona matua, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e Paaha tama a Ahia o te whare o Ihakara; a patua iho ia e Paaha ki Kipetono o nga Pirihitini; i te whakapae hoki a Natapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa i Kipetono.
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
Na, no te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i patua ai ia e Paaha, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.
29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
A, kingi tahanga ia, na patua iho e ia te whare katoa o Ieropoama: kihai tetahi mea whai manawa o Ieropoama i mahue i a ia, poto rawa te huna; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu i korerotia e tana pononga, e Ahia Hironi:
30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
Mo nga hara i hara ai a Ieropoama, i mea ai i a Iharaira kia hara; mo tana whakapataritari i whakapataritari ai ia i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira kia riri.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Natapa me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
He whawhai hoki ta Aha raua ko Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
No te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Paaha tama a Ahia ki a Iharaira katoa ki Tirita, e rua tekau ma wha nga tau i kingi ai.
34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
A he kino tana mahi i te aroaro o Ihowa i haere hoki ia i te ara o Ieropoama, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
