1 Kings 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;
Abija malitere ịbụ eze Juda, nʼafọ iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Jeroboam nwa Nebat.
2 he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;
Ọ chịrị afọ atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
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;
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 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,
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 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;
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 has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Agha dị nʼetiti Abija na Jeroboam nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ Abija.
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;
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 Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead.
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 twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa has reigned over Judah,
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị Jeroboam eze Izrel, ka Asa ghọrọ eze Juda.
10 and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.
Ọ chịrị iri afọ anọ na otu na Jerusalem. Aha nne nne ya bụ Maaka, nwa nwanyị Abishalom.
11 And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,
Asa mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Devid nna ya mere.
12 and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers 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 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;
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 the high places have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,
Ọ bụ ezie na o wezugaghị ugwu niile dị elu, ma Asa ji obi zuruoke jere Onyenwe anyị ozi nʼoge ndụ ya niile.
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.
O webatara nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe niile nke nna ya na ya onwe ya doro nsọ.
16 And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
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.
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 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,
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 “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.”
“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 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;
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 it comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.
Mgbe Baasha nụrụ nke a, ọ kwụsịrị iwu Rema, laghachi biri na Tịaza.
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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,
Nadab, nwa Jeroboam, malitere ịbụ eze Izrel, nʼafọ nke abụọ nke Asa, eze Juda. Ọ chịrị Izrel afọ abụọ.
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.
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 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—
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 indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.
Baasha gburu Nadab, nọchie ọnọdụ ya dịka eze, nʼafọ nke atọ nke ọchịchị Asa, eze Juda.
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,
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 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.
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 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?
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 has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days.
Ma agha dịgidere nʼetiti Asa na Baasha, eze Izrel, ụbọchị ọchịchị ha niile.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-four years,
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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
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.
