1 Kings 15
1 And in the eighteenth yeere of King Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, reigned Abiiam ouer Iudah.
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam nwa Nebat.
2 Three yeere reigned hee in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị afọ atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
3 And hee walked in all the sinnes of his father, which hee had done before him: and his heart was not perfit with the Lord his God as the heart of Dauid his father.
O mere mmehie niile nna ya mere nʼihu ya; o jighị obi zuruoke gbasoo Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, dịka obi nna nna ya Devid dị.
4 But for Dauids sake did the Lord his God giue him a light in Ierusalem, and set vp his sonne after him, and established Ierusalem,
Ma nʼihi Devid, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nyere ya oriọna na Jerusalem, site na-ime ka nwa ya nwoke nọchie ọnọdụ ya nakwa ime ka Jerusalem guzosie ike.
5 Because Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commanded him, all the dayes of his life, saue onely in the matter of Vriah the Hittite.
Nʼihi na Devid mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịghịkwa iwu Onyenwe anyị ọbụla nke ọ na-edebeghị nʼụbọchị ndụ ya niile, ma ọ bụghị naanị ihe banyere okwu Ụraya, onye Het.
6 And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam as long as he liued.
Agha dị nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ Abija.
7 The rest also of the actes of Abiiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? there was also warre betweene Abiiam, and Ieroboam.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Abija, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda? Agha dịgidere nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam.
8 And Abiiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
9 And in the twentie yeere of Ieroboam King of Israel reigned Asa ouer Iudah.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị Jeroboam eze Izrel, ka Asa ghọrọ eze Juda.
10 He reigned in Ierusalem one and fourtie yeere, and his mothers name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu na Jerusalem. Aha nne nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
11 And Asa did right in the eyes of the Lord, as did Dauid his father.
Asa mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Devid nna ya mere.
12 And he tooke away the Sodomites out of the lande, and put away all the idoles that his fathers had made.
O sitere nʼala ahụ niile chụpụ ndị ikom akwụna ụlọ arụsị niile, wezugakwa arụsị niile nke ndị nna nna ya ha mere.
13 And he put downe Maachah his mother also from her estate, because shee had made an idole in a groue: and Asa destroyed her idoles, and burnt them by the brooke Kidron.
Ọ chụdakwara ọbụladị nne nne ya bụ Maaka, site nʼọnọdụ ya dịka nne eze, nʼihi na ọ kpụrụ ihe arụ, ogidi Ashera maka iji fee ya ofufe. Asa gbuturu ya kpọọ ya ọkụ na ndagwurugwu iyi Kidrọn.
14 But they put not downe the hie places. Neuertheles Asas heart was vpright with the Lord all his dayes.
Ọ bụ ezie na o wezugaghị ugwu niile dị elu, ma Asa ji obi zuruoke jere Onyenwe anyị ozi nʼoge ndụ ya niile.
15 Also he brought in the holy vessels of his father, and the things that he had dedicated vnto ye house of the Lord, siluer, and golde, and vessels.
O webatara nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe niile nke nna ya na ya onwe ya doro nsọ.
16 And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel all their dayes.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
17 Then Baasha king of Israel went vp against Iudah, and buylt Ramah, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa King of Iudah.
Baasha eze Izrel, busoro Juda agha, wuchie Rema igbochi onye ọbụla na-apụ apụ maọbụ onye na-abata abata nʼoke ala Asa, eze Juda.
18 Then Asa tooke all the siluer and the gold that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, and deliuered them into the handes of his seruantes, and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the sonne of Tabrimon, the sonne of Hezion king of Aram that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Asa chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo niile dị nʼụlọakụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na ndị dị nʼụlọeze ya, nyefee ya nʼaka ndị ozi ya ka ha chịrị ha zigara Ben-Hadad, nwa Tabrimọm, nwa Hezion, bụ eze Aram, onye na-achị na Damaskọs, sị,
19 There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde: come, breake thy couenant with Baasha King of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Biko, ka anyị gbaa ndụ dịka nna m na nna gị mere. Lee, ana m ezitere gị onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Ugbu a, mebie ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti gị na Baasha, bụ eze Izrel, ka o si nʼebe m nọ wezuga onwe ya.”
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the hosts, which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote lion, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadad kwenyere eze Asa, zipụ ndị ọchịagha ndị agha ya ka ha gaa buso obodo Izrel niile agha. Ọ lụgburu Ijon, Dan, Ebel-Bet-Maaka na ala Kineret niile, tinyere ala niile nke ndị Naftalị.
21 And when Baasha heard thereof, hee left buylding of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Mgbe Baasha nụrụ nke a, ọ kwụsịrị iwu Rema, laghachi biri na Tịaza.
22 Then king Asa assembled al Iudah, none excepted. and they tooke the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had buylt, and King Asa built with them Geba of Beniamin and Mizpah.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Asa nyere iwu zigara ndị Juda niile, na ọ dịghị onye iwu ahụ hapụrụ, ha bịara bupusịa nkume na osisi niile dị na Rema, nke Baasha ji na-ewu ihe nʼebe ahụ. Eze Asa ji ihe ndị a wulie Geba nke Benjamin, wuokwa Mizpa.
23 And the rest of all the actes of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he buylt, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? but in his olde age he was diseased in his feete.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Asa, na ihe niile ọ rụpụtara na obodo niile ndị o wuru, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda? Ma ọ rịara ọrịa nke metụtara ụkwụ ya abụọ, mgbe o mere agadi.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father. And Iehoshaphat his sonne reigned in his steade.
Asa sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha, nʼobodo Devid, bụ nna ya. Jehoshafat nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
25 And Nadab the sonne of Ieroboam began to reigne ouer Israel the second yere of Asa King of Iudah, and reigned ouer Israel two yeere.
Nadab, nwa Jeroboam, malitere ịbụ eze Izrel, nʼafọ nke abụọ nke Asa, eze Juda. Ọ chịrị Izrel afọ abụọ.
26 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of his father, and in his sinne wherewith he made Israel to sinne.
O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ niile nke nna ya ma na-emekwa otu mmehie ahụ nke nna ya ji duba Izrel nʼime mmehie.
27 And Baasha the sonne of Ahijah of ye house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha slue him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistims: for Nadab and all Israel layde siege to Gibbethon.
Baasha nwa Ahija, onye si nʼebo Isaka gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya. O tidara ya na Gibeton, nʼotu obodo ndị Filistia, mgbe Nadab na ndị Izrel niile nọchibidoro ya.
28 Euen in the third yeere of Asa King of Iudah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his steade.
Baasha gburu Nadab, nọchie ọnọdụ ya dịka eze, nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị Asa, eze Juda.
29 And when he was King, he smote all the house of Ieroboam, he left none aliue to Ieroboam, vntill hee had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by his seruant Ahijah the Shilonite,
Ngwangwa, mgbe ọ malitere ọchịchị ya, o gburu ndị ezinaụlọ Jeroboam niile. O kweghị ka onye ọbụla na-eku ume fọdụ, kama ọ lara ha niile nʼiyi, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onyeozi ya, bụ Ahija onye Shilo.
30 Because of the sinnes of Ieroboam which he committed, and wherewith he made Israel to sinne, by his prouocation, wherewith he prouoked the Lord God of Israel.
Ihe ndị a mere nʼihi mmehie niile Jeroboam mere, nke o mere ka Izrel mee, nakwa nʼihi na ọ kpasuru Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel iwe.
31 And the residue of the actes of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Nadab, o bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel?
32 And there was warre betweene Asa and Baasha King of Israel, all their dayes.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel, ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
33 In the thirde yeere of Asa King of Iudah, began Baasha the sonne of Ahijah to reigne ouer all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned foure and twentie yeeres.
Nʼafọ nke atọ nke Asa, eze Juda, Baasha nwa Ahija ghọrọ eze ndị Izrel niile na Tịaza. Ọ chịrị iri afọ abụọ na abụọ.
34 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, walking in the way of Ieroboam, and in his sinne, wherewith he made Israel to sinne.
O mere ọtụtụ ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Ọ gbasoro ụzọ ọjọọ niile nke Jeroboam, jeekwa ije nʼime otu mmehie ahụ nke Jeroboam dubara ndị Izrel ime.
