1 Kings 15

1 And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;

Mʼchaka cha 18 cha ulamuliro wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya anakhala mfumu ya Yuda,

2 he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;

ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka zitatu. Amayi ake anali Maaka, mwana wa Abisalomu.

3 and he walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;

Abiya anachita zoyipa zonse zimene abambo ake anazichita. Sanali wangwiro pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wake, monga linachitira kholo lake Davide.

4 but for David’s sake his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,

Komabe chifukwa cha Davide, Yehova Mulungu wake anamupatsa nyale mu Yerusalemu pomupatsa mwana wolowa mʼmalo mwake ndi kumukhazikitsa kukhala wamphamvu mu Yerusalemu;

5 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

pakuti Davide anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova ndipo sanalephere kusunga chilichonse chimene Yehova anamulamula masiku onse a moyo wake kupatula nkhani ija ya Uriya Mhiti.

6 and there has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

Panali nkhondo pakati pa Rehobowamu ndi Yeroboamu masiku onse a moyo wa Abiya.

7 And the rest of the matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been war between Abijam and Jeroboam;

Tsono ntchito zina za Abiya, ndi zina zonse anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? Panali nkhondo pakati pa Abiya ndi Yeroboamu.

8 and Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead.

Ndipo Abiya anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda momwe anayikidwa makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Asa, mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa has reigned over Judah,

Mʼchaka cha makumi awiri cha Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli, Asa anakhala mfumu ya Yuda,

10 and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 41. Agogo ake akazi anali Maaka mwana wa Abisalomu.

11 And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,

Asa anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Davide kholo lake.

12 and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers made;

Iye anachotsa mʼdzikomo amuna onse ochita zadama pochita chipembedzo chawo ndiponso anachotsa mafano onse amene makolo ake anawapanga.

13 and also his mother Maachah—he turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron;

Iye anachotsanso gogo wake Maaka pa udindo wake wa amayi a mfumu, chifukwa choti anapanga fano lonyansa la Asera. Asa anagwetsa fanolo nakalitentha ku Chigwa cha Kidroni.

14 but the high places have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,

Ngakhale sanachotse malo opembedzerapo mafano, mtima wa Asa unali wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Yehova masiku onse a moyo wake.

15 and he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: silver, and gold, and vessels.

Asa anabweretsa ku Nyumba ya Yehova zinthu zimene abambo ake anazipereka, ndiponso zinthu zimene iye mwini anazipereka: zagolide, siliva ndi ziwiya zotengera.

16 And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,

Panali nkhondo pakati pa Asa ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wawo.

17 and Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

Baasa mfumu ya Israeli anapita kukathira nkhondo dziko la Yuda, ndipo anamangira linga mzinda wa Rama kuletsa kuti wina aliyense asatuluke kapena kulowa mʼdziko la Asa, mfumu ya Yuda.

18 And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,

Tsono Asa anatenga siliva yense pamodzi ndi golide zimene zinatsala ku malo osungira chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Yehova ndiponso ku nyumba yake yaufumu. Anazipereka kwa atumiki ake, nawatuma kupita nazo kwa Beni-Hadadi mwana wa Tabirimoni, mwana wa Heziyoni, mfumu ya Aramu, amene ankakhala ku Damasiko ndipo anakamuwuza kuti,

19 “A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”

“Tiyeni tigwirizane inu ndi ine, monga panali mgwirizano pakati pa abambo anu ndi abambo anga. Onani, ndikukutumizirani mphatso za siliva ndi golide. Tsopano kathetseni mgwirizano wanu ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli kuti andisiye.”

20 And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;

Choncho Beni-Hadadi anamvera zimene ananena mfumu Asa ndipo anatumiza olamulira magulu ake ankhondo ku mizinda ya Israeli. Ndipo iye anagonjetsa Iyoni, Dani, Abeli-Beti-Maaka ndi dera lonse la Kinereti kuphatikiza dziko lonse la Nafutali.

21 and it comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.

Baasa atamva zimenezi, anasiya kumangira linga Rama ndipo anakakhala ku Tiriza.

22 And King Asa has summoned all Judah—there is none exempt—and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Pamenepo Mfumu Asa analamula anthu onse a ku Yuda osasiya ndi mmodzi yemwe, ndipo anachotsa ku Rama miyala ndi matabwa amene Baasa ankamangira kumeneko. Zipangizo zimenezi Mfumu Asa inamangira linga la Geba ku Benjamini ndi la ku Mizipa.

23 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;

Tsono ntchito zina za Asa, za mphamvu zake ndi mizinda imene anayimanga ndi zina zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? Koma pa nthawi ya ukalamba wake anadwala nthenda ya mapazi.

24 and Asa lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead.

Ndipo Asa anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda momwe anayikidwa makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide kholo lake. Ndipo Yehosafati mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

25 And Nadab son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,

Nadabu, mwana wa Yeroboamu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, ndipo analamulira Israeli zaka ziwiri.

26 and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.

Nadabu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, anayenda mʼnjira za abambo ake ndi mu uchimo womwe anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.

27 And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—

Baasa mwana wa Ahiya, wa banja la Isakara anakonzera Nadabuyo chiwembu, ndipo anamukantha ku Gibetoni, mzinda wa Afilisti, pamene Nadabu ndi anthu onse a ku Israeli anali atawuzungulira.

28 indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.

Baasa anapha Nadabu mʼchaka chachitatu cha Asa, mfumu ya ku Yuda ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

29 And it comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

Iye atangoyamba kulamulira, anapha anthu onse a banja la Yeroboamu. Sanasiye ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo pa banjapo, koma anawononga anthu onse, molingana ndi mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula mwa mtumiki wake Ahiya wa ku Silo

30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.

chifukwa cha machimo amene Yeroboamu anachita, ndiponso kuchimwitsa anthu a ku Israeli, naputa mkwiyo wa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.

31 And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Tsono ntchito za Nadabu ndi zina zonse zimene anazichita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

32 And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days.

Panali nkhondo pakati pa Asa ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli pa nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wawo.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-four years,

Chaka chachitatu cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, Baasa mwana wa Ahiya anakhala mfumu ya Aisraeli onse ku Tiriza, ndipo analamulira zaka 24.

34 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.

Anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenda mʼnjira za Yeroboamu ndi kuchita tchimo lake limene linachimwitsa anthu a ku Israeli.
