1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abiiah the sonne of Ieroboam fell sicke.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Yeroboam ƒe vi, Abiya dze dɔ
2 And Ieroboam saide vnto his wife, Vp, I pray thee, and disguise thy selfe, that they know not that thou art the wife of Ieroboam, and goe to Shiloh: for there is Ahiiah the Prophet, which tolde mee that I shoulde bee King ouer this people,
eye Yeroboam gblɔ na srɔ̃a be, “Yi, nàtrɔ ɖokuiwò ale be womanya be wòe nye Yeroboam srɔ̃ o, emegbe nàyi Silo. Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya le afi ma, ame si gblɔ nam be manye fia ɖe ame siawo dzi.
3 And take with thee tenne loaues and craknels, and a bottell of honie, and go to him: hee shall tell thee what shall become of the yong man.
Tsɔ abolo meme ewo kple akpɔnɔ vivi kple anyitsi goe ɖeka ɖe asi eye nàyi egbɔ. Agblɔ nu si adzɔ ɖe ɖevi la dzi na wò.”
4 And Ieroboams wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahiiah: but Ahiiah could not see, for his sight was decayed for his age.
Ale srɔ̃a yi Ahiya ƒe aƒe me le Silo. Ahiya zu ametsitsi aɖe azɔ eye megatea ŋu kpɔa nu o.
5 Then the Lord saide vnto Ahiiah, Beholde, the wife of Ieroboam commeth to aske a thing of thee for her sonne, for he is sicke: thus and thus shalt thou say vnto her: for when shee commeth in, shee shall feine her selfe to be another.
Ke Yehowa ɖee fia Ahiya bena, fianyɔnu la gbɔna eɖokui trɔ ge abe ame bubu ene eye wòava egbɔ ava bia nyae tso via ŋu elabena via dze dɔ sesĩe. Yehowa gblɔ nu si wòagblɔ na nyɔnu la nɛ.
6 Therefore when Ahiiah heard the sounde of her feete as shee came in at the doore, hee saide, Come in, thou wife of Ieroboam: why feinest thou thus thy selfe to bee an other? I am sent to thee with heauie tidings.
Ale esi Ahiya se nyɔnu la ŋkɔ le eƒe ʋɔtru nu ko la, edo ɣli be, “Yeroboam srɔ̃, ge ɖe eme. Nu ka ta nèle agbagba dzem be yeadze ame bubui?” Egblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Nya vɔ̃ aɖe le asinye na wò,
7 Goe, tel Ieroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I haue exalted thee from among the people, and haue made thee prince ouer my people Israel,
gblɔ nya siawo tso Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gbɔ na srɔ̃wò be, ‘Metia wò tso ame maɖinuwo dome eye meɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
8 And haue rent the kingdome away from the house of Dauid, and haue giuen it thee, and thou hast not bene as my seruant Dauid, which kept my commandements, and followed mee with all his heart, and did onely that which was right in mine eyes,
Mexɔ fiaɖuƒe la le David ƒe ƒometɔwo si hetsɔ na wò gake mèwɔ nye seawo dzi abe nye dɔla, David ene o. David ƒe didi vevi wònye be yeawɔ nye seawo dzi ɣe sia ɣi eye yeawɔ nu sia nu si medi be wòawɔ.
9 But hast done euil aboue al that were before thee (for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to prouoke me, and hast cast me behinde thy backe)
Ke èwɔ nu vɔ̃ wu fia siwo katã do ŋgɔ na wò. Èwɔ mawu bubuwo na ɖokuiwò, èdo dɔmedzoe nam kple wò sikanyiviawo eye nètrɔ megbe dem.
10 Therefore beholde, I will bring euill vpon the house of Ieroboam, and will cut off from Ieroboam him that pisseth against the wall, aswell him that is shut vp, as him that is left in Israel, and will sweepe away the remnant of the house of Ieroboam, as a man sweepeth away doung, till it be all gone.
“‘Le esia ta la, mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava Yeroboam ƒe aƒe dzi eye matsrɔ̃ ŋutsuwo katã kple eƒe alimeviwo le Israel. Matɔ dzo Yeroboam ƒe aƒe abe ale si wotɔa dzo lãwo ƒe afɔdzi tso lãkpowo me ene.
11 The dogges shall eate him of Ieroboams stocke that dyeth in the citie, and the foules of the aire shall eate him that dyeth in the fielde: for the Lord hath said it.
Meka atam be avuwo aɖu wò ƒometɔ siwo aku le dua me eye xewo aɖu esiwo aku ɖe gbedzi.’”
12 Vp therefore and get thee to thine house: for when thy feete enter into the citie, the childe shall die.
Ahiya gagblɔ na Yeroboam srɔ̃ be, “Yi aƒe. Ne èɖo dua me teti ko la, ɖevi la aku.
13 And al Israel shall mourne for him, and burie him: for he onely of Ieroboam shall come to the graue, because in him there is found some goodnes towarde the Lord God of Israel in the house of Ieroboam.
Israel blibo la afae eye woaɖii, gake eya koe nye miaƒe ƒometɔ si aku le ŋutifafa me,
14 Moreouer, the Lord shall stirre him vp a King ouer Israel, which shall destroy the house of Ieroboam in that day: what? yea, euen nowe.
Yehowa ŋutɔ aɖo fia aɖe na eɖokui ɖe Israel dzi. Fia sia aɖe Yeroboam ƒe ƒome blibo la ɖa. Egbee nye ŋkeke la! Nu ka? Ɛ̃, fifi laa gɔ̃ hã.
15 For the Lord shall smite Israel, as when a reede is shaken in the water, and hee shall weede Israel out of his good lad, which he gaue to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the Riuer, because they haue made them groues, prouoking the Lord to anger.
Ekema Yehowa aʋuʋu Israel abe ale si tɔsisi nyamaa aƒla si ge ɖe eme la ene, aho Israel le wo fofowo ƒe anyigba nyui sia dzi eye wòakaka wo ɖe Frat tɔsisi la godo, esi wodo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa to aƒeliwo subɔsubɔ me la ta.
16 And he shall giue Israel vp, because of the sinnes of Ieroboam, who did sinne, and made Israel to sinne.
Yehowa agblẽe ɖi le nu vɔ̃ si Yeroboam wɔ eye wòkplɔ Israel blibo la hã de nu vɔ̃ me la ta.”
17 And Ieroboams wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah, and when shee came to the threshold of the house, the yong man dyed,
Yeroboam srɔ̃ trɔ yi Tirza. Esi wòɖo eƒe aƒe me ƒe agbo nu ko la, ɖevi la ku.
18 And they buried him, and all Israel lamented him; according to the word of the Lord, which hee spake by the hand of his seruant Ahiiah the Prophet.
Wofa ɖevi kuku la le anyigba blibo la dzi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe da ɖi to eƒe nyagblɔɖila Ahiya dzi la ene.
19 And the rest of Ieroboams actes, how hee warred, and howe hee reigned, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Woŋlɔ Yeroboam ƒe nuwɔna bubuawo, eƒe aʋawɔwɔwo kple nya bubu siwo dzɔ le eƒe fiaɖuɖu me la ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
20 And the dayes which Ieroboam reigned, were two and twentie yeere: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his sonne reigned in his steade.
Yeroboam ɖu fia ƒe blaeve. Esi wòku la, via Nadab ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
21 Also Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon reigned in Iudah. Rehoboam was one and fourtie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned seuenteene yere in Ierusalem, the citie which the Lord did chuse out of al the tribes of Israel, to put his Name there: and his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonite.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Rehoboam, Solomo ƒe vi nye fia le Yuda. Exɔ ƒe blaene-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi woɖoe fiae. Eɖu fia ƒe wuiadre le Yerusalem, du si Yehowa tia le Israel duwo katã dome be yeanɔ eme la me. Rehoboam dadae nye Naama, Amoni nyɔnu aɖe.
22 And Iudah wrought wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and they prouoked him more with their sinnes, which they had committed, then all that which their fathers had done.
Le Rehoboam ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Yudatɔwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ abe Israelviwo ke ene eye wotsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa elabena woawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo wu wo fofowo tɔ gɔ̃ hã.
23 For they also made them hie places, and images, and groues on euery hie hill, and vnder euery greene tree.
Wotu nuxeƒewo, li aƒeliwo kple legbawo ɖe to kɔkɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi kple ati dama ɖe sia ɖe te.
24 There were also Sodomites in the lande, they did according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
Ŋutsu nuxeƒegbolowo hã xɔ anyigba blibo la dzi. Ame siwo nɔ Yuda la wɔ busunuwo abe trɔ̃subɔdukɔ siwo Yehowa nya le anyigba la dzi be yeƒe amewo nakpɔ teƒe anɔ la ene.
25 And in the fift yere of King Rehoboam, Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusale,
Le Fia Rehoboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia me la, Egipte fia Sisak ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu eye wòɖu edzi.
26 And tooke the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house, and tooke away all: also he caried away all the shields of golde which Salomon had made.
Elɔ nu sia nu le gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me dzoe. Etsɔ sikakpoxɔnu siwo Solomo wɔ la katã hã dzoe.
27 And King Rehoboam made for them brasen shieldes, and committed them vnto ye hands of the chiefe of the garde, which wayted at the doore of the Kings house.
Ke Fia Rehoboam wɔ akɔblikpoxɔnuwo ɖe wo teƒe eye wòtsɔ wo de asi na eŋudzɔlawo ƒe amegã.
28 And when the King went into the house of the Lord, the garde bare them, and brought them againe into the gard chamber.
Ɣe sia ɣi si Fia la yi gbedoxɔ la me la, eŋudzɔlawo tsɔa wo bɔa asaɖa le eŋgɔ eye emegbe la, wogbugbɔa wo dana ɖe dzɔlawo ƒe xɔ me.
29 And the rest of the actes of Rehoboam, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Woŋlɔ nyadzɔdzɔ bubuwo tso Rehoboam ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋuti ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
30 And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam continually.
Aʋa dzɔna ɖe Rehoboam kple Yeroboam dome enuenu.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonite. And Abiiam his sonne reigned in his stead.
Esime Rehoboam, ame si dadae nye Naama, Amoni nyɔnu la ku la, woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le David ƒe du la me eye via Abiyam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
