1 Kings 16
1 Then this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Fia Baasa to Nyagblɔɖila Yehu dzi be,
2 “Even though I lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry by their sins.
“Meɖe wò tso ke me be, nàɖu fia ɖe nye dukɔ Israel dzi. Ke èto Yeroboam ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ƒe mɔwo dzi. Èna nye dukɔ, Israel wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wodo dziku nam kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo,
3 Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
eya ta azɔ la, matsrɔ̃ wò kple wò ƒometɔwo abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Yeroboam ƒe dzidzimeviwo ene.
4 Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
Wò ƒometɔ siwo aku le dua me la, avuwo aɖu wo eye esiwo aku ɖe gbedzi la, akagawo aɖu wo.”
5 The rest of the events of Baasha's reign, everything that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si Baasa wɔ kple eƒe kalẽwɔwɔwo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
6 Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.
Baasa ku woɖii ɖe Tirza eye via Ela ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
7 The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
Nyagblɔɖila Yehu gblɔ nya si tso Yehowa gbɔ, tso Baasa kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ŋu le nu vɔ̃ siwo Baasa wɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu ta. Edo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, menye le eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ko ta, abe ale si Yeroboam wɔ le eŋgɔ ene o, ke boŋ le ale si wòwu Yeroboam ƒe ƒometɔwo katã hã ta.
8 Elah, son of Baasha, became king of Israel in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah for two years.
Ela, Baasa ƒe viŋutsu dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adelia me. Eɖu fia ƒe eve ko.
9 One of Elah's officials called Zimri who was in charge of half his chariots plotted a rebellion against him. One time Elah was in Tirzah, getting himself drunk at the home of Arza, the palace manager at Tirzah.
Aʋafia Zimri, ame si kpɔa fia la ƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe afã dzi la ɖo nugbe ɖe Fia Ela ŋu. Gbe ɖeka la, esi Fia Ela mu aha afã kple afã le Arza, ame si nye fiasãdzikpɔla ƒe aƒe me le Tirza, si nye fiadu la me la,
10 Zimri went up to him, attacked him, and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Asa, king of Judah. Then he took over from him as king.
Zimri zɔ tẽe ɖatɔ nue ƒu anyi eye wòku. Nya sia dzɔ le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adrelia me. Zimri tsɔ eɖokui ɖo Israel fiae ɖe eteƒe.
11 As soon as he became king and was installed on his throne, he killed all of Baasha's family. He did not leave a single male alive, whether of his relatives or of his friends.
Ewu Fia Baasa ƒe ƒometɔwo katã enumake eye megblẽ ŋutsu ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ɖi o. Ewu eƒe ƒometɔ siwo mete ɖe eŋu tututu o kple exɔlɔ̃wo gɔ̃ hã.
12 So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, as the Lord had said in his condemnation of Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
Baasa ƒe ƒometɔ siawo wuwu na nya si Yehowa gblɔ da ɖi to Nyagblɔɖila Yehu dzi la va eme.
13 This was because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had made Israel to commit. Their worship of their useless idols had angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
Dzɔgbevɔ̃enya sia dzɔ le Baasa kple via Ela ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta elabena wokplɔ Israel de legbawo subɔsubɔ me eye Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ŋutɔŋutɔ.
14 The rest of what happened in Elah's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ nu mamlɛawo tso Ela ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
15 Zimri became king of Israel in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah seven days. At that time the Israelite army was attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon.
Le Asa, Yuda fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adrelia me la, Zimri ɖu fia le Tirza ŋkeke adre. Aʋakɔ la ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Gibeton si nye Filistitɔwo ƒe du aɖe la xa.
16 When the troops who were camped there learned that Zimri had plotted rebellion against the king and had murdered him, they made Omri, the army commander, king of Israel that same day in the army camp.
Esime Israelviwo se le asaɖa la me be Zimri ɖo nugbe ɖe fia la ŋu eye wòwui la, wotsɔ Omri, woƒe aʋafia la ɖo fiae gbe ma gbe ke le asaɖa la me.
17 Omri and the whole Israelite army left Gibbethon and went and besieged Tirzah.
Ale Omri kplɔ aʋakɔ si nɔ Gibeton la eye wòɖe to ɖe Tirza si nye Israel ƒe fiadu.
18 When Zimri saw that the city had been taken he went into the fortress of the royal palace and set it on fire around him, and he died, because of the sins he had committed.
Esi Zimri kpɔ be futɔwo xɔ Tirza la, eyi fiasã la me hetɔ dzoe ɖe eɖokui dzi eye wòku ɖe dzo la me.
19 He did evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin which he had made Israel commit.
Esia va eme elabena eya hã wɔ nu vɔ̃ abe Yeroboam ene. Esubɔ legbawo eye wòkplɔ Israel de nu vɔ̃ me.
20 The rest of what happened in Zimri's reign and his rebellion are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ Zimri ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa kple eƒe nugbeɖoɖo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
21 After this the people of Israel were divided. Half supported Tibni, son of Ginath, as king, while the other half supported Omri.
Azɔ la, Israel fiaɖuƒe la ma ɖe akpa eve me; akpa ɖeka nɔ Aʋafia Omri dzi eye akpa evelia nɔ Tibni, Ginat ƒe vi dzi.
22 However, those on Omri's side defeated Tibni's supporters. Tibni was killed and Omri became king.
Ke Aʋafia Omri ɖu Tibni dzi. Wowu Tibni ale be ame aɖeke megaʋli fiaɖuƒe la kple Omri o.
23 Omri became king of Israel in the thirty-first year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned for a total of twelve years, (six of them were in Tirzah).
Yuda fia, Asa ɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ̃-ɖekɛ esime Omri de asi fiaɖuɖu me le Israel. Omri ɖu fia ƒe ade le Tirza.
24 He purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He fortified the hill, and named the city that he built Samaria, after Shemer, the previous owner of the hill.
Eƒle Samaria togbɛ la le Semer si hena klosalo kilogram blaadre eye wòtso du ɖe edzi. Etsɔ Semer, ame si si wòƒle togbɛ la le la ƒe ŋkɔ na du la be Samaria.
25 Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight—in fact he did more evil than those who lived before him.
Ke Omri nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla wu fia siwo katã do ŋgɔ nɛ.
26 For he followed all the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and in his sins which he made Israel commit, worshiping their useless idols which angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
Esubɔ legbawo abe ale si Yeroboam wɔ ene eye wòkplɔ Israel de legbasubɔsubɔ me.
27 The rest of what happened in Omri's reign, what he did, and his achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ Omri ƒe ŋutinya ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
28 Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab succeeded him as king.
Esi Omri ku la, woɖii ɖe Samaria eye Via ŋutsu Ahab zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
29 Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twenty-two years.
Yuda fia, Asa ɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi esime Ahab zu fia ɖe Israel dzi. Ahab ɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-eve.
30 Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the Lord's sight, more than those who lived before him.
Ahab wɔ nu vɔ̃ wu fofoa Omri gɔ̃ hã; ewɔ nu vɔ̃ wu Israel fia ɖe sia ɖe!
31 He didn't see anything to worry about in following the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and he even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and started to serve and worship Baal.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe Yezebel, Sidon fia Etbaal ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòde asi Baal subɔsubɔ me.
32 Ahab made an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.
Gbã la, etu gbedoxɔ kple vɔsamlekpui na Baal ɖe Samaria.
33 Then he put up an Asherah pole. In this way Ahab did more to anger the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel before him.
Emegbe la, Ahab li aƒeli bubuwo eye wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖe siwo gado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la wu Israel fia bubu siwo katã do ŋgɔ nɛ.
34 During Ahab's reign Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He sacrificed Abiram his firstborn son when he laid its foundation, and sacrificed Segub his youngest son when he constructed its gates. This fulfilled the message the Lord had given through Joshua, son of Nun.
Le esime Ahab nɔ fia ɖum la, ŋutsu aɖe tso Betel, ame si ŋkɔe nye Hiel la gbugbɔ Yeriko tu. Esi wòɖo gɔmeɖokpea la, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abiram, ku eye esi wòwu enu hede agbowo dua ƒe gliwo nu la, Via ŋutsu suetɔ, Segub, hã ku. Esia va eme le fiƒode si Yehowa da ɖe du la dzi abe ale si Yosua, Nun ƒe vi la gblɔ ene la nu.
