1 Kings 15
1 Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Le Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me la, Abiyam zu Yuda fia.
2 He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
Eɖu fia ƒe etɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
3 Abijam committed all the sins his father had before him. He was not wholly dedicated to the Lord his God as his forefather David had been.
Abiyam nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla gã aɖe abe fofoa ene eye eƒe dzi menɔ Yehowa, eƒe Mawu ŋu abe Fia David ene o.
4 Even so, for David's sake, the Lord his God let his descendants to continue to rule like a lamp, a son to rule after him and to make Jerusalem strong.
Togbɔ be Abiyam wɔ nu vɔ̃ hã la, le Fia David ta la, Yehowa mena David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nu tso o
5 For David had done what was right in the Lord's sight, and had not deviated from anything the Lord commanded throughout his lifetime, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
elabena David ɖo to Yehowa le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me negbe nu si wòwɔ Uria, Hititɔ la ko.
6 (Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ Israel kple Yuda dome enuenu le Abiyam ƒe fiaɖuɣi.
7 The rest of what happened in Abijam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Abijam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Woŋlɔ Abiyam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
8 Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
Esi Abiyam ku la, woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me eye via Asa ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
9 Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
Asa zu Yuda fia le Yerusalem le Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe blaevelia me.
10 He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
Eɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ. Mamae nye Maaka, Abisalom ƒe vinyɔnu.
11 Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather David had done.
Asa ɖɔ ŋu ɖo hewɔ nu si dza le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume abe ale si tɔgbuia Fia David wɔ ene.
12 He expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers had made.
Ewu ŋutsu siwo nye gbolowɔlawo katã eye wòɖe legba siwo katã fofoa wɔ la ɖa.
13 He even dismissed his grandmother Maacah as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting idol. Asa had the idol chopped down and burned in the Kidron Valley.
Fia Asa ɖe mamaa Maaka ɖa be maganye fianyɔnu o elabena etu aƒeli si nye ŋunyɔnu. Asa lã ati la ƒu anyi, flii, hetɔ dzoe le Kidron bali la me.
14 Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒe siwo nɔ toawo dzi o hã la, eƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
15 He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items that he and his father had dedicated.
Egbugbɔ klosalo kple sika kple ŋudɔwɔnu siwo ŋu eya kple fofoa kɔ la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.
16 Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi ɖaa le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome.
17 Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
Baasa, Israel fia ho aʋa ɖe Yuda ŋu. Eɖo gli sesẽ ƒo xlã Rama, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu age ɖe Yuda fia Asa ƒe nuto me alo ado tso eme o.
18 So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and of the royal palace. He handed it over to his servants and sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, along with this message:
Ale Asa tsɔ klosalo kple sika siwo katã susɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒe kple nu xɔasi siwo katã nɔ fiasã la me la na eŋumewo. Ena be woatsɔ wo aɖana Siria fia Ben Hadad, si nye Hezion vi Tabrimon ƒe vi le Damasko eye woagblɔ nɛ bena,
19 “Let us make a treaty between us, just as there was between my father and your father. Look, I've sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will retreat and leave me alone.”
“Na míagbugbɔ míaƒe dedinɔnɔ ƒe nubabla si nɔ fofowò kple fofonye dome la awɔ yeyee. Kpɔ ɖa, xɔ klosalo kple sika sia ale be nàtu nubabla si le wò kple Israel fia, Baasa dome ale be wòadzudzɔ aʋawɔwɔ kplim.”
20 Ben-hadad accepted Asa's proposal and sent his army with its commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Kinnereth, including all the land of Naphtali.
Ben Hadad lɔ̃ ɖe Fia Asa ƒe nya la dzi heƒo eƒe aʋakɔ nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ƒe duwo ŋu. Egbã Iyɔn, Dan, Abel Bet Maka kple Kineret blibo la hekpe ɖe Naftalinyigba blibo la ŋu.
21 When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated to Tirzah.
Esi Baasa se be woho aʋa ɖe yeƒe duwo ŋu la, edzudzɔ Rama du la tutu eye wòtrɔ yi Tirza.
22 Then King Asa issued a proclamation throughout all Judah, with no exception. The people obeyed, and carried away the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building up Ramah. King Asa used these building materials to strengthen Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
Fia Asa ɖe gbeƒã le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi be ŋutsu lãmesesẽtɔ ɖe sia ɖe nava na kpekpeɖeŋu yewoagbã Rama eye yewoalɔ xɔtukpewo kple xɔtutiwo katã adzoe. Fia Asa wɔ xɔtunu siawo ŋu dɔ tsɔ tu Geba du le Benyamin kple Mizpa du la.
23 The rest of what happened in Asa's reign, all his achievements, everything that he did, and the towns he built, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But when he grew old he had disease in his feet.
Woŋlɔ Asa ƒe agbemeŋutinya mamlɛa, dukɔ siwo dzi wòɖu, eƒe nuwɔwɔwo kple du siwo wòtso la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me. Dɔléle va dze eƒe afɔwo dzi le eƒe tsitsime.
24 Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fiawo ɖiƒe le Yerusalem. Via Yehosafat zu Yuda fia ɖe eyome.
25 Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Israel for two years.
Le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, Nadab, Yeroboam ƒe vi zu fia le Israel, le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me. Eɖu fia ƒe eve,
26 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He followed the ways of his father and committed the same sins his father had made Israel commit.
ke menye fia nyui aɖeke o. Esubɔ legba geɖewo eye wòhe Israel dukɔ la de nu vɔ̃ me abe fofoa ene.
27 Baasha, son of Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar, plotted a rebellion against him. Baasha murdered Nadab at the Philistine town of Gibbethon while Nadab and the whole Israelite army were besieging it.
Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi si tso Isaka ƒe to la me ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wòwui esime wònɔ Israel ƒe aʋakɔ la me eye wòɖe to ɖe Gibeton, si nye Filistitɔwo ƒe du.
28 Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
Ale Baasa zu Israel fia ɖe Nadab teƒe le Tirza; le Yuda fia, Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me.
29 As soon as he became king he killed all the rest of Jeroboam's family. He did not leave any of Jeroboam's descendants alive—he destroyed them all, as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
Baasa wu Fia Yeroboam ƒe dzidzimeviwo katã enumake, ale ame aɖeke megasusɔ ɖe fiaƒome la me o, abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe da ɖi be ava eme esime wòƒo nu kple Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya tso Silo la ene.
30 This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had made Israel commit, and because he had made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
Esia va eme esi Yeroboam do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la to eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ kple Israelviwo kpɔkplɔ de nu vɔ̃ me la ta.
31 The rest of what happened in Nadab's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ nya bubuawo tso Baasa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋuti ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
32 Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi le Yuda fia Asa kple Israel fia Baasa dome le woƒe fiaɖuɣiwo me.
33 Baasha, son of Ahijah, became king over all of Israel in the third year of the reign of King Asa in Judah. Baasha reigned in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
Le Asa, Yuda fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi zu Israel fia le Tirza. Eɖu fia ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ene.
34 Baasha did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin, which he had made Israel commit.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, eto Yeroboam ƒe afɔtoƒe eye wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo Yeroboam na Israel wɔ le eƒe fiaɖuɣi.
