1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
Nebat capa Jeroboam siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitazetto naah, Abijam loe siangpahrang ah oh.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Anih loe Jerusalem ah saning thumto thung siangpahrang ah oh; anih ih amno loe Abishalom canu Maakah.
3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
Anih doeh ampa mah Angraeng hmaa ah sak ih zaehaih baktih toengah sak toeng; anih ih palungthin loe, ampa David baktiah angmacae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah akoep thai ai.
4 Nevertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;
Toe David rang hoiah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, angmah pacoengah siangpahrang ah suek hanah, Jerusalem ah hmai-im maeto a paek.
5 because David did that which was right in the LORD’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.
David loe Hit kami Uriah kawng thui ai ah loe, a hing thung Angraeng hmaa ah katoeng hmuen to sak, Angraeng mah paek ih lok to pazui ai ah om ai.
6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Anih hing thung Rehoboam hoi Jeroboam loe misa angtuk hoi.
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.
Abijam siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah pakuem o na ai maw? Abijam hoi Jeroboam salakah misatukhaih to oh.
8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.
Abijam loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Asa to siangpahrang ah oh.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
Israel siangpahrang Jeroboam siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning pumphaeto naah, Asa loe Judah siangpahrang ah oh.
10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Anih loe Jerusalem ah saning quipalito thung siangpahrang ah oh. Anih ih amno hmin loe Maakah.
11 Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.
Asa loe ampa David baktiah, Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih hmuen to sak.
12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Nongpata baktiah kangsah kaminawk to prae thung hoiah haek boih moe, ampa mah sak ih krangnawk to paro boih.
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 burnt it at the brook Kidron.
Amno mah Asherah thing tlim ah krang to sak pongah, siangpahrang amno ah ohhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawtsak; Asa mah to ih Asherah krang soi ih thing to pakhruk moe, Kidron vacong ah hmai hoiah thlaek.
14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
Hmuensangnawk to takhoe king ai, toe a hing thung Asa ih palungthin loe Angraeng hmaa ah akoephaih tawnh.
15 He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.
Angmah hoi ampa mah paek ih, sui, phoisa hoi laom sabaenawk to Angraeng tempul thungah a suek.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Asa hoi Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe hing thung misa ah oh hoi poe.
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.
Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe Judah tuk hanah caeh tahang moe, Judah siangpahrang Asa ih prae thungah mi kawbaktih doeh caeh han ai, tacawt han ai ah, Ramah vangpui to sipae hoi ka caakah a thungh.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’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,
To naah Asa mah Angraeng tempul thung hoi siangpahrang imthung ih, sui hoi phoisanawk to lak boih moe, a tamnanawk khaeah paek pacoengah, Damaska ukkung, Syria siangpahrang Hezion capa Tabrimon capa Ben-Hadad khaeah a pat pae.
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.”
Kampa hoi nampa mah angdaehhaih sak hoi baktih toengah, nang hoi kai salakah doeh angdaehhaih sah si; khenah, nang hanah sui hoi phoisa tangqum ah kang pat; anih kai khae hoi tacawt thai hanah, Israel siangpahrang Baasha hoi na sak ih angdaehhaih to phrae ah, tiah a naa.
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.
Asa siangpahrang ih lok to Ben-Hadad mah tahngaih moe, Israel vangpuinawk tuk hanah angmah ih misatuh angraengnawk to patoeh; anih mah Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maakah hoi Naphtali prae pacoengah, Kinneroth prae boih to pazawk.
21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
Baasha mah to tamthanglok to thaih naah, a sak li ih Ramah vangpui to toengh sut moe, Tirzah ah oh.
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.
To naah Asa siangpahrang mah Judah prae thung boih ah lok to taphong; mi kawbaktih doeh tahmaat ai; Baasha mah im sak naah patoh ih thlungnawk, thingnawk to a lak pae boih; Asa siangpahrang loe nihcae abomhaih hoiah Benjamin prae ih Geba hoi Mizpah vangpui to sak.
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.
Asa siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoiah a sak ih hmuennawk boih, a sak ih vangpuinawk boih loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ih ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw? Toe mitong naah loe, a khok ah nathaih to oh pae.
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.
To pacoengah Asa loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampanawk hoi nawnto David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Jehosaphat to siangpahrang ah oh.
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.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnetto haih naah, Jeroboam capa Nadab loe Israel siangpahrang ah oh; Israel kaminawk nuiah saning hnetto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
26 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak; ampa ih loklam ah caeh moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsak kami mah sak ih zaehaih to a sak toeng.
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.
Issakar imthung takoh, Ahijah capa Baasha mah anih to tuk han pacaeng pongah, Nadab hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah, Philistinnawk ih vangpui Gebbethon to takui o khoep moe, anih to hum o.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Baasha mah Nadab to hum moe, angmah to siangpahrang ah oh.
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 the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
Anih siangpahrang ah oh naah, Jeroboam imthung takohnawk to hum boih; Angraeng Sithaw mah a tamna Shiloh ih kami Ahijah rang hoiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Jeroboam imthung takoh tamit boih ai karoek to, anghahhaih takhi tawn kami maeto doeh tahmaat ai;
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 the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
Jeroboam loe zaehaih to sak moe, Israel kaminawk doeh a zaesak pongah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw to palungphuisak.
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?
Nadab siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk boih loe, Israel siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Asa hoi Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe hing thung misa angtuk hoi.
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.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Ahijah capa Baashato Tirzah ah Israel siangpahrang ah oh; anih loe saning pumphaeto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
34 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Anih doeh Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsak kami, Jeroboam zaehaih loklam ah a caeh.
