1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati-rĩ, nĩguo Abija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
Nĩekire mehia marĩa mothe ithe eekĩte mbere yake; ndeyamũrĩire Jehova Ngai wake na ngoro yake yothe, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi, Jehova Ngai wake akĩmũhe tawa kũu Jerusalemu na ũndũ wa gũtua mũriũ mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na gũtũma itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩrũme.
5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩekĩte ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaagire kũrũmia watho o na ũmwe wa Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, tiga ũhoro-inĩ wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Na rĩrĩ, gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe Abija aarĩ muoyo.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Abija na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na nĩ kwarĩ mbaara gatagatĩ ka Abija na Jeroboamu.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his position.
Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩguo Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe. Cũwe wake eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
Asa nĩekire ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Nĩaingatire maraya ma arũme ma mahooero-inĩ moime bũrũri ũcio, na akĩeheria mĩhianano yothe ya kũhooyagwo ĩrĩa maithe make maathondekete.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
O na nĩeheririe cũwe wake Maaka atige gũtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ nĩathondekete gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi mũno. Asa agĩkĩmomora, agĩgĩcinĩra kĩanda-inĩ gĩa Kidironi.
14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
O na gũtuĩka ndaathengirie mahooero marĩa maarĩ kũndũ gũtũũgĩru-rĩ, ngoro ya Asa nĩyerutĩire Jehova mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake wothe.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Nĩarehire kũu hekarũ ya Jehova betha, na thahabu, na indo iria ciothe we mwene hamwe na ithe maamũrĩte.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire agĩũkĩrĩra Juda na agĩaka rũthingo rwa hinya kũu Rama, nĩgeetha agirĩrĩrie andũ matikoime kana matoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Ningĩ Asa akĩruta betha na thahabu ciothe iria ciatigarĩte kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova na kĩa nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki. Nake agĩciĩhokera anene ake macitwarĩre Beni-Hadadi mũrũ wa Taburimoni, mũrũ wa Hezioni, mũthamaki wa Suriata, ũrĩa waathanaga Dameski.
19 There is a league between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold, I have sent unto you a present of silver and gold; come and break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe, o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, kĩheo kĩa betha na thahabu nĩkĩo ndagũtũmĩra. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”
20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and stroke Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nake agĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Bethi-Maaka, na Kinerethu guothe, hamwe na Nafitali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama, agĩthiĩ gũikara Tiriza.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had built; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩruta watho kũu Juda guothe, gũtirĩ mũndũ watigĩrĩirwo, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ iria Baasha aahũthagĩra Rama. Indo icio nĩcio Mũthamaki Asa aakire nacio Geba kũu Benjamini, o na agĩaka kũu Mizipa.
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe makoniĩ wathani wa Asa, marĩa mothe aahingirie, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na matũũra marĩa aakire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na rĩrĩ, Asa aakũra akĩrwara magũrũ.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his position.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asa akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoshafatu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
Nadabu mũrũ wa Jeroboamu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli mwaka wa keerĩ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya ithe na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha stroke him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija wa nyũmba ya Isakaru nĩaciirĩire kũmũũkĩrĩra, nake akĩmũũragĩra kũu Gibethoni, itũũra rĩa Afilisti, rĩrĩa Nadabu na Isiraeli othe marĩrigiicĩirie.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his position.
Baasha ooragire Nadabu mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he stroke all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
Aambĩrĩria gũthamaka-rĩ, nĩooragire andũ a nyũmba ya Jeroboamu othe. Ndaatigĩirie Jeroboamu mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo, no aamaniinire othe, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka ndungata yake Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni,
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa Jeroboamu ekĩte na agĩtũma Isiraeli mehie, na nĩ ũndũ nĩarakarĩtie Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Nadabu, na marĩa mothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
Mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa, mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, nĩguo Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe arĩ kũu Tiriza, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-ini ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu, na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
