1 Kings 14
1 It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
Panguva iyoyo Abhija, mwanakomana waJerobhoamu, akarwara,
2 So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.
Jerobhoamu akati kumukadzi wake, “Enda undozvivanza, kuti urege kuzivikanwa kuti ndiwe mukadzi waJerobhoamu. Ipapo ugoenda kuShiro. Ahija muprofita ariko ikoko, uya akandiudza kuti ndichava mambo wavanhu ava.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
Tora zvingwa gumi, makeke negaba rouchi ugoenda nazvo kwaari. Achakuudza zvichaitika kumukomana.”
4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.
Naizvozvo mukadzi waJerobhoamu akaita sezvaakataura akaenda kumba kwaAhija muShiro. Zvino Ahija akanga asisaoni; meso ake akanga asisaoni nokuti akanga akwegura.
5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
Asi Jehovha akaudza Ahija kuti, “Mukadzi waJerobhoamu ari kuuya kuzokubvunza nezvomwanakomana wake, nokuti ari kurwara. Zvino iwe uchamupa mhinduro yokuti neyokuti. Paachasvika achazviita somumwe munhu.”
6 So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
Zvino Ahija paakanzwa mutsindo wetsoka dzake pamusuo, akati, “Pinda, mukadzi waJerobhoamu. Sei uchizviita somumwe munhu? Ndatumwa kwauri namashoko asina kunaka.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.
Enda undoudza Jerobhoamu kuti izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: ‘Ndakakusimudza kubva pakati pavanhu ndikakuita mutungamiri wavanhu vangu Israeri.
8 I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
Ndakabvarura umambo kubva muimba yaDhavhidhi ndikahupa kwauri, asi hauna kuva somuranda wangu Dhavhidhi, akachengeta mirayiro yangu uye akanditevera nomwoyo wake wose, akaita zvakanaka chete pamberi pangu.
9 You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
Iwe wakaita zvakaipa kupfuura vose vakararama iwe usati wavapo. Wakazviitira vamwe vamwari, zviumbwa zvakaitwa nesimbi; waita kuti nditsamwe uye ukandirasira shure kwako.
10 Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.
“‘Nokuda kwezvinhu izvi ndichauyisa dambudziko paimba yaJerobhoamu. Ndichauraya varume vose vaJerobhoamu nhapwa, neakasununguka. Ndichapisa imba yaJerobhoamu sezvinoita munhu anopisa ndove, kusvikira pasisina chinhu.
11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
Imbwa dzichadya vose vachafira muguta, uye shiri dzedenga dzichadya avo vachafira kusango. Jehovha ataura!’
12 As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.
“Kana uriwe, dzokera kumba. Panotsika tsoka yako muguta rako, mwanakomana achafa.
13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.
Israeri yose ichamuchema igomuviga. Ndiye oga waJerobhoamu achavigwa, nokuti ndiye oga mumba maJerobhoamu aonekwa naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kuti ane chakanaka maari.
14 The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!
“Jehovha achazvimutsira mambo waIsraeri achaparadza mhuri yaJerobhoamu. Nhasi ndiro zuva racho! Hongu, kana iye zvino.
15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
Zvino Jehovha acharova Israeri, zvokuti ichaita setsanga iri kuzungunuswa mumvura. Achadzura Israeri kubva munyika yakanaka iyi yaakapa kumadzitateguru avo agovaparadzira mhiri kwoRwizi, nokuti vakaita kuti Jehovha atsamwe nehasha pavakaitira Ashera mapango.
16 He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
Acharamwa Israeri nokuda kwezvivi zvakaitwa naJerobhoamu nezvaakaita kuti Israeri iite.”
17 Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.
Ipapo mukadzi waJerobhoamu akasimuka akaenda, akasvika kuTiza. Achingoti tsikei pachikumbaridzo cheimba, mwanakomana akabva afa.
18 All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Vakamuviga, uye Israeri yose yakamuchema, sezvazvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha kubudikidza nomuranda wake muprofita Ahija.
19 The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Zvimwe zvakaitika panguva yokutonga kwaJerobhoamu, hondo dzake namatongero ake, zvakanyorwa mubhuku renhoroondo dzegore negore dzamadzimambo eIsraeri.
20 Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
Akatonga kwamakore makumi maviri namaviri akazorora namadzibaba ake. Nadhabhi mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
Rehobhoamu mwanakomana waSoromoni akanga ari mambo munyika yeJudha. Akanga ana makore makumi mana nerimwe chete paakava mambo, uye akatonga kwamakore gumi namanomwe muJerusarema, guta rakanga rasarudzwa naJehovha kubva pamarudzi ose aIsraeri kuti aise Zita rake mariri. Zita ramai vake raiva Naama; vaiva muAmoni.
22 Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.
VaJudha vakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha. Vakamutsa godo rake, kupfuura zvakaitwa namadzibaba avo, nezvivi zvavakaita.
23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Vakazvivakirawo nzvimbo dzakakwirira, matombo anoera namapango aAshera pazvikomo zvose zvakakwirira napasi pemiti yose mikuru.
24 There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
Kwaivawo navarume vaizviita vakadzi vavamwe varume munyika, vanhu vakaita zvose zvinonyangadza zvaiitwa nendudzi idzo dzakanga dzadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavaIsraeri.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.
Mugore rechishanu raMambo Rehobhoamu, Shishaki, mambo weIjipiti, akarwisa Jerusarema.
26 He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
Akatora pfuma yose yetemberi yaJehovha nepfuma yose yomuzinda wamambo. Akatora zvinhu zvose, kusanganisira nenhoo dzose dzegoridhe dzakanga dzagadzirwa naSoromoni.
27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
Naizvozvo Mambo Rehobhoamu akagadzira nhoo dzendarira kuti dzitore nzvimbo yadzo uye akadzipa kuvatungamiri vavarindi vaichengeta suo romuzinda wamambo.
28 Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
Nguva dzose paienda mambo kutemberi yaJehovha, varindi vaitakura nhoo, mushure mezvo vachizodzidzosera kuimba yavarindi.
29 The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Zvino mamwe amabasa okutonga kwaRehobhoamu nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzegore negore dzamadzimambo eJudha?
30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Rehobhoamu naJerobhoamu vaingogara vachirwisana.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
Rehobhoamu akazorora namadzibaba ake uye akavigwa pavakanga vakavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi. Zita ramai vake raiva Naama; vaiva muAmoni. Abhija mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
