1 Kings 15
1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
Na no te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Ieropoama tama a Nepata i kingi ai a Apiama ki a Hura.
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
E toru nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
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.
Na i haere ia i runga i nga hara katoa i mea ai tona papa i mua atu i a ia: kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o tona tupuna, o Rawiri.
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.
Otiia he whakaaro ki a Rawiri homai ana e Ihowa, e tona Atua he rama ki a ia i Hiruharama kia whakaarahia ake ai tana tama i muri i a ia, kia whakapumautia ai hoki a Hiruharama:
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.
Mo Rawiri i mahi tika ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a kihai i peka ke i nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia, ko te meatanga anake ki a Uria Hiti.
6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
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.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Apiama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? He whawhai hoki ta Apiama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua.
8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
Na kua moe a Apiama ki ona matua, a tanumia ana e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri. A ko tana tama, ko Aha te kingi i muri i a ia.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
Na no te rua tekau o nga tau o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Aha ki a Hura.
10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
A e wha tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
A tika tonu te mahi a Aha ki te aroaro o Ihowa, rite tonu ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
I peia atu hoki e ia te hunga whakahoroma i te whenua, whakakorea atu ana e ia nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e ona matua.
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.
I whakamutua ano e ia te kuinitanga o Maaka, o tona whaea, mona i hanga whakapakoko wehi hei Ahera; tapatapahia iho hoki e Aha tana whakapakoko, tahuna ake ki te taha o te awa, o Kitirono.
14 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
Otiia kihai i whakakorea nga wahi tiketike. He ahakoa ra, i tapatahi te ngakau o Aha ki a Ihowa i ona ra katoa.
15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
I kawea hoki e ia nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, me ana mea ano i whakatapu ai, ki te whare o Ihowa, te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
He whawhai hoki ta Aha ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
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.
Na ka haere a Paaha kingi o Iharaira ki Hura, a hanga ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tetahi e tukua kia haere atu, kia haere mai ki a Aha kingi o Hura.
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:
Katahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te koura i mahue o nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga tangata: a hoatu ana e Kingi Aha kia kawea ki a Peneharara tama a Taparimono, ta ma a Hetiono kingi o Hiria, i Ramahiku nei tona kainga; i mea ia,
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.”
He kawenata ta taua, ta toku papa raua ko tou papa: tena taku hakari mau te kawea atu na, he hiriwa, he koura; haere mai whakataka tau kawenata ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira kia haere atu ai ia i toku taha.
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.
Na rongo tonu a Peneharara ki a Kingi Aha, a unga ana e ia nga rangatira o ana ope ki nga pa o Iharaira, a patua iho e ia a Ihono, a Rana, a Apere Petemaaka, me Kinerota katoa, me te whenua katoa o Napatari.
21 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
Na, i te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tana hanga i Rama, a noho ana ki Tirita.
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.
Katahi ka karanga nui a Kingi Aha puta noa i Hura; kihai tetahi i tukua noatia atu: a taria atu ana e ratou nga kohatu o Rama, me nga rakau o reira i hanga nei e Paaha, hei hanga ma Kingi Aha i Kepa o Pineamine, i Mihipa hoki.
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.
Na, ko era atu meatanga katoa a Aha me ana mahi marohirohi, me nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me nga pa i hanga e ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? Otiia i tona koroheketanga i mate ona waewae.
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.
Na ka moe a Aha ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
Na no te rua o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Natapa tama a Ieropoama ki a Iharaira; a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki a Iharaira.
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.
A he kino tana mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; i haere hoki ia i te ara o tona matua, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
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.
Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e Paaha tama a Ahia o te whare o Ihakara; a patua iho ia e Paaha ki Kipetono o nga Pirihitini; i te whakapae hoki a Natapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa i Kipetono.
28 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
Na, no te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i patua ai ia e Paaha, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.
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,
A, kingi tahanga ia, na patua iho e ia te whare katoa o Ieropoama: kihai tetahi mea whai manawa o Ieropoama i mahue i a ia, poto rawa te huna; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu i korerotia e tana pononga, e Ahia Hironi:
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.
Mo nga hara i hara ai a Ieropoama, i mea ai i a Iharaira kia hara; mo tana whakapataritari i whakapataritari ai ia i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira kia riri.
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?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Natapa me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
He whawhai hoki ta Aha raua ko Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
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.
No te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Paaha tama a Ahia ki a Iharaira katoa ki Tirita, e rua tekau ma wha nga tau i kingi ai.
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.
A he kino tana mahi i te aroaro o Ihowa i haere hoki ia i te ara o Ieropoama, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
