1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.
Nʼoge a, Abija nwa Jeroboam nọ nʼọrịa nke dị ukwuu.
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you will not be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people.
Nʼihi ya, Jeroboam sịrị nwunye ya, “Gaa, jikwaa onwe gị nʼụzọ mmadụ na-enweghị ike ịmata na ị bụ nwunye Jeroboam. Ị ga-ejekwa Shaịlo, Ahija onye amụma nọ nʼebe ahụ, bụ nwoke ahụ gwara m okwu na m ga-abụ eze ndị nke a.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”
Chịrịkwa ogbe achịcha iri, na achịcha nta ole na ole, na otu karama mmanụ aṅụ, jekwuru ya. Ọ ga-agwa gị ihe ga-eme banyere nwantakịrị a.”
4 Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Nwunye Jeroboam mere ihe o kwuru, o biliri jee nʼụlọ Ahija na Shaịlo. Ahija bụ agadi nwoke nʼoge a. Ọ naghị ahụkwa ụzọ nʼihi nka ọ kara.
5 The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”
Ma Onyenwe anyị agwalarị Ahija okwu sị ya, “Nwunye Jeroboam na-abịa ịjụta ase nʼaka gị banyere nwa ya nwoke ahụ na-adịghị ike, ọsịsa dị otu a ka i ganye ya. Mgbe ọ ga-abịa ịhụ gị ọ ga-eme onwe ya dịka ọ bụghị nwunye Jeroboam.”
6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
Mgbe Ahija nụrụ ụda nzọ ụkwụ ya ka ọ na-abata nʼọnụ ụzọ, ọ kpọrọ ya oku sị ya, “Bata, nwunye Jeroboam. Gịnị mere i ji jie ejiji dịka onye ọzọ? Enwere m akụkọ ọjọọ m ga-akọrọ gị
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

8 and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

9 but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back,

10 therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone.
“‘Nʼihi ihe ndị a, aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ezinaụlọ Jeroboam. Aga m ekpochapụkwa ụmụ ndị ikom gị niile, ma ndị ohu, ma ndị nwe onwe ha nọ nʼala Izrel. Aga m ekpochapụkwa ụlọ Jeroboam dịka mmadụ si ekpochapụ nsị anụ, ruo mgbe e kpochapụrụ ha niile.
11 The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for the LORD has spoken it.”’
Nkịta ga-eri ozu ndị nke Jeroboam ndị nwụrụ nʼime obodo, ma ndị nwụrụ nʼọhịa ka anụ ufe nke eluigwe ga-eri ozu ha. Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.’
12 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will die.
“Ma gị onwe gị, Laa nʼụlọ gị. Mgbe ị na-azọbanye ụkwụ gị nʼobodo, nwokorobịa ahụ ga-anwụ.
13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Ndị Izrel niile ga-akwa akwa nʼihi ya lie ya. Ọ bụ naanị ya bụ onye a ga-eli eli, nʼihi na nʼime ezinaụlọ Jeroboam, ọ bụ naanị nʼime nwokorobịa a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel chọtara ihe dị mma.
14 Moreover the LORD will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! What? Even now.
“Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka eze ọzọ bilie nʼIzrel, onye ga-ekpochapụ ezinaụlọ Jeroboam niile. O bidola taa, e, ma ugbu a kwa!
15 For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eti Izrel ihe, mee ka ọ maa jijiji dịka osisi achara nke ikuku na-ebugharị nʼime mmiri. Ọ ga-ehopu Izrel site nʼezi ala o nyere nna nna ha, fesaa ha nʼofe osimiri Yufretis, nʼihi na ha akpasuola iwe Onyenwe anyị site nʼiguzobe ogidi ofufe Ashera.
16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.”
Ọ ga-agbakụta Izrel azụ nʼihi mmehie Jeroboam mere, ma meekwa ka Izrel niile soro ya mehie.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
Mgbe ahụ, nwunye Jeroboam biliri laghachi Tịaza. Ma nwokorobịa ahụ nwụrụ mgbe ọ na-azọbata ụkwụ ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha.
18 All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Ha liri ya, ndị Izrel niile rukwara ụjụ nʼihi ya, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ Ahija, onye amụma.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Ihe niile ọzọ Jeroboam mere, na ihe niile banyere ibu agha ya niile, na ọtụtụ ihe ọzọ dị iche iche banyere ọchịchị ya, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere.
20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
Jeroboam chịrị Izrel iri afọ abụọ na abụọ. O sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, nwa ya Nadab ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
21 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Nʼoge a, Rehoboam nwa Solomọn, bụ eze Juda. Ọ gbara iri afọ anọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na asaa na Jerusalem, bụ obodo ahụ Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site nʼetiti ebo niile nke Izrel, bụ ebe ọ ga-akpọkwasị Aha ya. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn.
22 Judah did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juda mehiekwara megide Onyenwe anyị. Ha sitere nʼọtụtụ mmehie ha mere, nke karịrị mmehie nke ndị nna nna ha ochie mere, kpasuo ekworo ya.
23 For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Ha wukwara nye onwe ha ebe ịchụ aja na ogidi arụsị nʼelu ugwu niile, na ogidi chi Ashera, na nʼokpuru osisi ọbụla akwụkwọ ndụ dị nʼelu ya.
24 There were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.
E nwere ndị ikom akwụna nʼala ahụ, ndị nọ nʼụlọ arụsị ha dị iche iche. Ndị mmadụ mere ụdị ihe arụ ahụ nke ndị mba niile ndị ahụ na-eme, bụ mba ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼihu ndị Izrel chụpụ.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
Nʼafọ nke ise, nke ọchịchị eze Rehoboam, Shishak, eze Ijipt, busoro Jerusalem agha.
26 and he took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields which Solomon had made.
O bukọrọ akụ niile dị nʼime ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na akụ niile dịkwa nʼụlọeze. Ọ kwakọọrọ ihe niile, werekwa ọta ọlaedo niile ndị ahụ Solomọn kpụrụ.
27 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
Ma eze Rehoboam kpụrụ ọta bronz i ji dochie ndị ahụ, nyefee ha nʼaka ndịisi ndị nche, bụ ndị na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze nche ka a lekọta ha anya.
28 It was so, that as often as the king went into the LORD’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
Mgbe ọbụla eze na-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị nche na-ebu ọta ndị ahụ, emesịa, ha na-ebughachikwa ha nʼime ụlọ ndị nche.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Rehoboam, na ihe niile o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda?
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Rehoboam na Jeroboam ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ha.
31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
Rehoboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha nʼobodo Devid. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn. Abija nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
