1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam nwa Nebat.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị afọ atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
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.
O mere mmehie niile nna ya mere nʼihu ya; o jighị obi zuruoke gbasoo Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, dịka obi nna nna ya Devid dị.
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;
Ma nʼihi Devid, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nyere ya oriọna na Jerusalem, site na-ime ka nwa ya nwoke nọchie ọnọdụ ya nakwa ime ka Jerusalem guzosie ike.
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.
Nʼihi na Devid mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa iwu Onyenwe anyị ọbụla nke ọ na-edebeghị nʼụbọchị ndụ ya niile, ma ọ bụghị naanị ihe banyere okwu Ụraya, onye Het.
6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Agha dị nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ Abija.
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.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Abija, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda? Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam.
8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị Jeroboam eze Izrel, ka Asa ghọrọ eze Juda.
10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu na Jerusalem. Aha nne nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
11 Asa did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, as David his father did.
Asa mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Devid nna ya mere.
12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
O sitere nʼala ahụ niile chụpụ ndị ikom akwụna ụlọ arụsị niile, wezugakwa arụsị niile nke ndị nna nna ya ha mere.
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.
Ọ chụdakwara ọbụladị nne nne ya bụ Maaka, site nʼọnọdụ ya dịka nne eze, nʼihi na ọ kpụrụ ihe arụ, ogidi Ashera maka iji fee ya ofufe. Asa gbuturu ya kpọọ ya ọkụ na ndagwurugwu iyi Kidrọn.
14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.
Ọ bụ ezie na o wezugaghị ugwu niile dị elu, ma Asa ji obi zuruoke jere Onyenwe anyị ozi nʼoge ndụ ya niile.
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.
O webatara nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe niile nke nna ya na ya onwe ya doro nsọ.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
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 eze Izrel, busoro Juda agha, wuchie Rema igbochi onye ọbụla na-apụ apụ maọbụ onye na-abata abata nʼoke ala Asa, eze 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,
Mgbe ahụ, Asa chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo niile dị nʼụlọakụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị dị nʼụlọeze ya, nyefee ya nʼaka ndị ozi ya ka ha chịrị ha zigara Ben-Hadad, nwa Tabrimọm, nwa Hezion, bụ eze Aram, onye na-achị na Damaskọs, sị,
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.”
“Biko, ka anyị gbaa ndụ dịka nna m na nna gị mere. Lee, ana m ezitere gị onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Ugbu a, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti gị na Baasha, bụ eze Izrel, ka o si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya.”
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.
Ben-Hadad kwenyere eze Asa, zipụ ndị ọchịagha ndị agha ya ka ha gaa buso obodo Izrel niile agha. Ọ lụgburu Ijon, Dan, Ebel-Bet-Maaka na ala Kineret niile, tinyere ala niile nke ndị Naftalị.
21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
Mgbe Baasha nụrụ nke a, ọ kwụsịrị iwu Rema, laghachi biri na Tịaza.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Asa nyere iwu zigara ndị Juda niile, na ọ dịghị onye iwu ahụ hapụrụ, ha bịara bupusịa nkume na osisi niile dị na Rema, nke Baasha ji na-ewu ihe nʼebe ahụ. Eze Asa ji ihe ndị a wulie Geba nke Benjamin, wuokwa Mizpa.
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.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Asa, na ihe niile ọ rụpụtara na obodo niile ndị o wuru, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda? Ma ọ rịara ọrịa nke metụtara ụkwụ ya abụọ, mgbe o mere agadi.
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.
Asa sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha, nʼobodo Devid, bụ nna ya. Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
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.
Nadab, nwa Jeroboam, malitere ịbụ eze Izrel, nʼafọ nke abụọ nke Asa, eze Juda. Ọ chịrị Izrel afọ abụọ.
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.
O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ niile nke nna ya ma na-emekwa otu mmehie ahụ nke nna ya ji duba Izrel nʼime mmehie.
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 nwa Ahija, onye si nʼebo Isaka gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya. O tidara ya na Gibeton, nʼotu obodo ndị Filistia, mgbe Nadab na ndị Izrel niile nọchibidoro ya.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.
Baasha gburu Nadab, nọchie ọnọdụ ya dịka eze, nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị Asa, eze Juda.
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;
Ngwangwa, mgbe ọ malitere ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ezinaụlọ Jeroboam niile. O kweghị ka onye ọbụla na-eku ume fọdụ, kama ọ lara ha niile nʼiyi, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onyeozi ya, bụ Ahija onye Shilo.
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.
Ihe ndị a mere nʼihi mmehie niile Jeroboam mere, nke o mere ka Izrel mee, nakwa nʼihi na ọ kpasuru Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel iwe.
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?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Nadab, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel, ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
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.
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke Asa, eze Juda, Baasha nwa Ahija ghọrọ eze ndị Izrel niile na Tịaza. Ọ chịrị iri afọ abụọ na abụọ.
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.
O mere ọtụtụ ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ ọjọọ niile nke Jeroboam, jeekwa ije nʼime otu mmehie ahụ nke Jeroboam dubara ndị Izrel ime.
