1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati-rĩ, nĩguo Abija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father.
Nĩekire mehia marĩa mothe ithe eekĩte mbere yake; ndeyamũrĩire Jehova Ngai wake na ngoro yake yothe, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
4 Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi, Jehova Ngai wake akĩmũhe tawa kũu Jerusalemu na ũndũ wa gũtua mũriũ mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na gũtũma itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩrũme.
5 because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩekĩte ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaagire kũrũmia watho o na ũmwe wa Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, tiga ũhoro-inĩ wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.
6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Na rĩrĩ, gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe Abija aarĩ muoyo.
7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Abija na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na nĩ kwarĩ mbaara gatagatĩ ka Abija na Jeroboamu.
8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.
Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩguo Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe. Cũwe wake eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
11 Asa did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, as David his father did.
Asa nĩekire ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Nĩaingatire maraya ma arũme ma mahooero-inĩ moime bũrũri ũcio, na akĩeheria mĩhianano yothe ya kũhooyagwo ĩrĩa maithe make maathondekete.
13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.
O na nĩeheririe cũwe wake Maaka atige gũtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ nĩathondekete gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi mũno. Asa agĩkĩmomora, agĩgĩcinĩra kĩanda-inĩ gĩa Kidironi.
14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.
O na gũtuĩka ndaathengirie mahooero marĩa maarĩ kũndũ gũtũũgĩru-rĩ, ngoro ya Asa nĩyerutĩire Jehova mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake wothe.
15 He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.
Nĩarehire kũu hekarũ ya Jehova betha, na thahabu, na indo iria ciothe we mwene hamwe na ithe maamũrĩte.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire agĩũkĩrĩra Juda na agĩaka rũthingo rwa hinya kũu Rama, nĩgeetha agirĩrĩrie andũ matikoime kana matoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Ningĩ Asa akĩruta betha na thahabu ciothe iria ciatigarĩte kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova na kĩa nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki. Nake agĩciĩhokera anene ake macitwarĩre Beni-Hadadi mũrũ wa Taburimoni, mũrũ wa Hezioni, mũthamaki wa Suriata, ũrĩa waathanaga Dameski.
19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”
Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe, o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, kĩheo kĩa betha na thahabu nĩkĩo ndagũtũmĩra. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”
20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nake agĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Bethi-Maaka, na Kinerethu guothe, hamwe na Nafitali.
21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama, agĩthiĩ gũikara Tiriza.
22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩruta watho kũu Juda guothe, gũtirĩ mũndũ watigĩrĩirwo, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ iria Baasha aahũthagĩra Rama. Indo icio nĩcio Mũthamaki Asa aakire nacio Geba kũu Benjamini, o na agĩaka kũu Mizipa.
23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe makoniĩ wathani wa Asa, marĩa mothe aahingirie, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na matũũra marĩa aakire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na rĩrĩ, Asa aakũra akĩrwara magũrũ.
24 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asa akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoshafatu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
Nadabu mũrũ wa Jeroboamu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli mwaka wa keerĩ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
26 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya ithe na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija wa nyũmba ya Isakaru nĩaciirĩire kũmũũkĩrĩra, nake akĩmũũragĩra kũu Gibethoni, itũũra rĩa Afilisti, rĩrĩa Nadabu na Isiraeli othe marĩrigiicĩirie.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.
Baasha ooragire Nadabu mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
29 As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
Aambĩrĩria gũthamaka-rĩ, nĩooragire andũ a nyũmba ya Jeroboamu othe. Ndaatigĩirie Jeroboamu mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo, no aamaniinire othe, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka ndungata yake Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni,
30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.
nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa Jeroboamu ekĩte na agĩtũma Isiraeli mehie, na nĩ ũndũ nĩarakarĩtie Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Nadabu, na marĩa mothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
Mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa, mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, nĩguo Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe arĩ kũu Tiriza, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna.
34 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-ini ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu, na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
