1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abiiah the sonne of Ieroboam fell sicke.
Nʼoge a, Abija nwa Jeroboam nọ nʼọrịa nke dị ukwuu.
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,
Nʼihi ya, Jeroboam sịrị nwunye ya, “Gaa, jikwaa onwe gị nʼụzọ mmadụ na-enweghị ike ịmata na ị bụ nwunye Jeroboam. Ị ga-ejekwa Shaịlo, Ahija onye amụma nọ nʼebe ahụ, bụ nwoke ahụ gwara m okwu na m ga-abụ eze ndị nke a.
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.
Chịrịkwa ogbe achịcha iri, na achịcha nta ole na ole, na otu karama mmanụ aṅụ, jekwuru ya. Ọ ga-agwa gị ihe ga-eme banyere nwantakịrị a.”
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.
Nwunye Jeroboam mere ihe o kwuru, o biliri jee nʼụlọ Ahija na Shaịlo. Ahija bụ agadi nwoke nʼoge a. Ọ naghị ahụkwa ụzọ nʼihi nka ọ kara.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị agwalarị Ahija okwu sị ya, “Nwunye Jeroboam na-abịa ịjụta ase nʼaka gị banyere nwa ya nwoke ahụ na-adịghị ike, ọsịsa dị otu a ka i ganye ya. Mgbe ọ ga-abịa ịhụ gị ọ ga-eme onwe ya dịka ọ bụghị nwunye Jeroboam.”
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.
Mgbe Ahija nụrụ ụda nzọ ụkwụ ya ka ọ na-abata nʼọnụ ụzọ, ọ kpọrọ ya oku sị ya, “Bata, nwunye Jeroboam. Gịnị mere i ji jie ejiji dịka onye ọzọ? Enwere m akụkọ ọjọọ m ga-akọrọ gị
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,
Ga gwa Jeroboam sị ya, Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Esi m nʼetiti ndị m welie gị elu, mee gị ka ị bụrụ onye ga-achị ndị m, bụ Izrel.
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,
Adọwapụrụ m alaeze Izrel site nʼụlọ Devid nye gị ya, ma ị geghị ntị nʼiwu m, maọbụ debe ha dịka ohu m Devid debere ihe niile m nyere ya nʼiwu. Onye echiche obi ya na ihe na-atọ obi ya ụtọ mgbe niile bụ idebe iwu m, na ime ihe ziri ezi nʼanya m.
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)

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.
“‘Nʼihi ihe ndị a, aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ezinaụlọ Jeroboam. Aga m ekpochapụkwa ụmụ ndị ikom gị niile, ma ndị ohu, ma ndị nwe onwe ha nọ nʼala Izrel. Aga m ekpochapụkwa ụlọ Jeroboam dịka mmadụ si ekpochapụ nsị anụ, ruo mgbe e kpochapụrụ ha niile.
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.
Nkịta ga-eri ozu ndị nke Jeroboam ndị nwụrụ nʼime obodo, ma ndị nwụrụ nʼọhịa ka anụ ufe nke eluigwe ga-eri ozu ha. Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.’
12 Vp therefore and get thee to thine house: for when thy feete enter into the citie, the childe shall die.
“Ma gị onwe gị, Laa nʼụlọ gị. Mgbe ị na-azọbanye ụkwụ gị nʼobodo, nwokorobịa ahụ ga-anwụ.
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.
Ndị Izrel niile ga-akwa akwa nʼihi ya lie ya. Ọ bụ naanị ya bụ onye a ga-eli eli, nʼihi na nʼime ezinaụlọ Jeroboam, ọ bụ naanị nʼime nwokorobịa a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel chọtara ihe dị mma.
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.
“Ma Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka eze ọzọ bilie nʼIzrel, onye ga-ekpochapụ ezinaụlọ Jeroboam niile. O bidola taa, e, ma ugbu a kwa!
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.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eti Izrel ihe, mee ka ọ maa jijiji dịka osisi achara nke ikuku na-ebugharị nʼime mmiri. Ọ ga-ehopu Izrel site nʼezi ala o nyere nna nna ha, fesaa ha nʼofe osimiri Yufretis, nʼihi na ha akpasuola iwe Onyenwe anyị site nʼiguzobe ogidi ofufe Ashera.
16 And he shall giue Israel vp, because of the sinnes of Ieroboam, who did sinne, and made Israel to sinne.
Ọ ga-agbakụta Izrel azụ nʼihi mmehie Jeroboam mere, ma meekwa ka Izrel niile soro ya mehie.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ, nwunye Jeroboam biliri laghachi Tịaza. Ma nwokorobịa ahụ nwụrụ mgbe ọ na-azọbata ụkwụ ya nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ha.
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.
Ha liri ya, ndị Izrel niile rukwara ụjụ nʼihi ya, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ Ahija, onye amụma.
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.
Ihe niile ọzọ Jeroboam mere, na ihe niile banyere ibu agha ya niile, na ọtụtụ ihe ọzọ dị iche iche banyere ọchịchị ya, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere.
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.
Jeroboam chịrị Izrel iri afọ abụọ na abụọ. O sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, nwa ya Nadab ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
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.
Nʼoge a, Rehoboam nwa Solomọn, bụ eze Juda. Ọ gbara iri afọ anọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na asaa na Jerusalem, bụ obodo ahụ Onyenwe anyị họọrọ site nʼetiti ebo niile nke Izrel, bụ ebe ọ ga-akpọkwasị Aha ya. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juda mehiekwara megide Onyenwe anyị. Ha sitere nʼọtụtụ mmehie ha mere, nke karịrị mmehie nke ndị nna nna ha ochie mere, kpasuo ekworo ya.
23 For they also made them hie places, and images, and groues on euery hie hill, and vnder euery greene tree.
Ha wukwara nye onwe ha ebe ịchụ aja na ogidi arụsị nʼelu ugwu niile, na ogidi chi Ashera, na nʼokpuru osisi ọbụla akwụkwọ ndụ dị nʼelu ya.
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.
E nwere ndị ikom akwụna nʼala ahụ, ndị nọ nʼụlọ arụsị ha dị iche iche. Ndị mmadụ mere ụdị ihe arụ ahụ nke ndị mba niile ndị ahụ na-eme, bụ mba ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼihu ndị Izrel chụpụ.
25 And in the fift yere of King Rehoboam, Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusale,
Nʼafọ nke ise, nke ọchịchị eze Rehoboam, Shishak, eze Ijipt, busoro Jerusalem agha.
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.
O bukọrọ akụ niile dị nʼime ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, na akụ niile dịkwa nʼụlọeze. Ọ kwakọọrọ ihe niile, werekwa ọta ọlaedo niile ndị ahụ Solomọn kpụrụ.
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.
Ma eze Rehoboam kpụrụ ọta bronz i ji dochie ndị ahụ, nyefee ha nʼaka ndịisi ndị nche, bụ ndị na-eche nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọeze nche ka a lekọta ha anya.
28 And when the King went into the house of the Lord, the garde bare them, and brought them againe into the gard chamber.
Mgbe ọbụla eze na-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị nche na-ebu ọta ndị ahụ, emesịa, ha na-ebughachikwa ha nʼime ụlọ ndị nche.
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?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Rehoboam, na ihe niile o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda?
30 And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam continually.
Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Rehoboam na Jeroboam ụbọchị niile nke ndụ ha.
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.
Rehoboam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha nʼobodo Devid. Aha nne ya bụ Naama, onye Amọn. Abija nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
