1 Kings 15
1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
E higa mar apar gaboro mar loch Jeroboam wuod Nebat, Abija nobedo ruodh Juda,
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
kendo norito piny kuom higni adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Maaka nyar Abishalom.
3 And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
Notimo richo duto mane wuon otimo kendo chunye ne ok ochiwore chuth ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, kaka chuny Daudi kwargi ne en.
4 Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
To kata kamano nikech Daudi, Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache nomiye taya Jerusalem koyiero wuode mondo okaw lochne kendo oket Jerusalem obed motegno.
5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Nikech Daudi notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne ok oweyo ma ok omako chik Jehova Nyasaye moro amora e ndalo ngimane duto makmana e wach Uria ja-Hiti.
6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
Lweny ne nitie e kind Rehoboam gi Jeroboam e kinde duto mar ngima Abija.
7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
To timbe mamoko mag loch Abija kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitepe mag weche mag ndalo mar ruodhi mag Juda? Ne nitie lweny e kind Abija kod Jeroboam.
8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
Kendo Abija notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Asa wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
E higa mar piero ariyo mar loch Jeroboam ruodh Israel, Asa nobedo ruodh Juda,
10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
kendo nobedo ruoth Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen gachiel. Dagi niluongo ni Maaka nyar Abishalom.
11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
Asa notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka Daudi wuon mare notimo.
12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Noriembo chwo ma jochode mag kuonde lemo modarogi e pinye kendo noketho nyiseche manono mane kweregi oloso.
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Bende nogolo dagi ma Maaka e kome mane entie kaka min ruoth nikech noloso sirni milamo mar Ashera. Asa nongʼado yien-no mowangʼe e holo mar Kidron.
14 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
Kata obedo ni Asa ne ok oketho kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo, chunye nochiwore chutho ni Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto mag ngimane.
15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
Nokelo gige dhahabu gi fedha kod mula e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ma en owuon gi wuon mare nosepwodho.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
Ne nitie lweny e kind Asa kod Baasha ruodh Israel ndalo duto mag lochgi.
17 Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
Baasha ruodh Israel nodhi kedo kod Juda kendo nochielo Rama motegno mondo ogengʼ ni ngʼato angʼata kik wuogi kata donji e piny Asa ruodh Juda.
18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
Eka Asa nokawo fedha gi dhahabu duto mane odongʼ e ute keno mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye gi mago mag ode. Nomiyogi jodonge mi oorogi ir Ben-Hadad wuod Tabrimon ma wuod Hezion ruodh Aram manodak Damaski.
19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
Nowachone niya, “Winjruok mondo obedie kindi koda, mana kaka nobedo e kind wuonwa gi wuonu. Aoroni mich mag fedha gi dhahabu, koro keth winjruok mantie e kindi gi Baasha ruodh Israel mondo mi owe kedo koda.”
20 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
Ben-Hadad noyie gi ruoth Asa kendo nooro jotende mag lweny mondo omonj mier matindo mag Israel. Noloyo Ijon gi Dan gi Abel Beth Maaka kod Kinereth duto kaachiel gi Naftali.
21 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
Kane Baasha owinjo mano, nochungo gero Rama modok Tirza.
22 Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
Eka ruoth Asa nochiwo chik ni Juda duto maonge ngʼato angʼata mane owe oko, negikawo kite duto kod yiende mane Baasha osebedo katiyogo Rama kendo notiyo kodgi kanyo. Asa notiyo kodgi kuom gero Geba e piny Benjamin kod Mizpa bende.
23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
Weche mamoko duto mag loch Asa, gi lochne, gi gigo duto mane otimo gi mier duto mane ogero donge ondikgi e kitepe mag ruodhi mag Juda? Kata kamano ka hike noseniangʼ tiende nobedo gituo.
24 And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
Eka Asa noyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e dala Daudi wuon mare. Kendo Jehoshafat wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
Nadab wuod Jeroboam nobedo ruoth mar Israel e higa mar ariyo mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, kendo nobedo ruodh Israel kuom higni ariyo.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
Notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kowuotho e yor wuon mare kod richone mane omiyo Israel otimo.
27 Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.
Baasha wuod Ahija ja-dhood Isakar nomonje mi nogoye monege e Gibethon e dala jo-Filistia ka Nadab kod jo-Israel duto ne dwaro monjo dalano.
28 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
Baasha nonego Nadab e higa mar adek mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, kendo nokaw lochne kaka ruoth.
29 As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
Mapiyo piyo kochako locho, nonego jood Jeroboam duto. Ne ok oweyo ni Jeroboam kata ngʼato achiel mayweyo to notiekogi kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane omiyo jatichne Ahija ja-Shilo;
30 because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
nikech richo mane Jeroboam otimo kendo mane omiyo Israel otimo, kendo nikech nomiyo Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel obedo gi mirima.
31 As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
To kuom mamoko mag loch Nadab kaachiel gi timbene duto donge ondiki e kitepe mag ruodhi mag Israel?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
Ne nitie lweny e kind Asa kod Baasha ruodh Israel ndalo duto mag lochgi.
33 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
E higa mar adek mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, Baasha wuod Ahija nodoko ruoth kuom Israel duto e Tirza kendo nobedo ruoth kuom higni piero ariyo gangʼwen.
34 And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
Notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kowuotho e yore mag Jeroboam kod richone mane omiyo Israel otimo.
