1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
E kindeno Abija wuod Jeroboam nobedo matuo,
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
kendo Jeroboam nowacho ni chiege niya, “Dhiyo, iwuondri mondo kik ngʼato fweny ni in chi Jeroboam, kendo dhi nyaka Shilo nimar Ahija janabi nikuro, en ema nonyisa ni anabed ruodh jogi.
3 Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
Kaw makati apar gi kek moko kod chupa mar mor kich kendo dhi ire. Obiro nyisi gima biro timore ni nyathino.”
4 So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
Omiyo chi Jeroboam notimo kaka nonyise modhi e od Ahija man Shilo. Ahija ne muofu ma ok nyal neno, nikech ne oseti.
5 But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
To Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho ni Ahija niya, Chi Jeroboam biro penji kuom wuode, nimar otuo kendo nyaka imiye dwoko machalo kama kata kamacha. Kochopo to obiro wuondore ni en ngʼat machielo.
6 But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
Kamano kane Ahija owinjo tiende e dhoot nowacho niya, “Donji, chi Jeroboam. En angʼo momiyo iwuondori? Oseora iri gi wach marach.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
Dhiyo, inyis Jeroboam ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel owacho, ‘Ne ayieri e kind ji duto mi aketi jatend joga Israel.
8 I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
Ne apogo pinyruoth koa e od Daudi mi amiyi, to ok isebedo kaka jatichna Daudi mane orito chikena kendo noluwa gi chunye duto kotimo mana gima kare e nyima.
9 But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
Isetimo richo moloyo ji duto mane odak kapok idak. Iseloso ne in iwuon nyiseche mamoko, nyiseche mag chuma; isemiyo iya owangʼ mi idhira ka ngʼeyi.
10 ‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
“‘Kuom mano, adhi kelo chandruok ne od Jeroboam. Abiro ngʼado yawuowi duto mawuok e od Jeroboam man Israel bed ni gin wasumbini kata ok gin wasumbini. Abiro wangʼo od Jeroboam mana kaka ngʼato wangʼo owuoyo nyaka oliel duto.
11 [The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
Guogi biro chamo joka Jeroboam motho e dala maduongʼ kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pap. Jehova Nyasaye osewacho!’
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
“To in, dogi dala, ka inyono dala. Ka inyono dala maduongʼ, to nyathino notho.
13 All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
Israel duto biro ywage mi ike. En kende e jaka Jeroboam mibiro iki, nikech en kende ema en e od Jeroboam ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel oseyudoe gimoro maber.
14 Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
“Jehova Nyasaye biro yiero ni en owuon ruoth ni jo-Israel mabiro tieko dhood joka Jeroboam. Ma e odiechiengʼ! Angʼo? Ee, kata mana sani.
15 Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye biro goyo Israel, mochal mana gi odundu ma yamo tero ewi pi. Obiro pudho Israel oko kogologi e piny maber mane omiyo kweregi mi okegi loka Aora nikech negimiyo Jehova Nyasaye mirima ka giloso ludhe mag Ashera.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Nojwangʼ Israel nikech richo mane Jeroboam otimo kendo mosemiyo Israel otimo.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Eka chi Jeroboam noa malo modhi Tirza. E kinde mane ochopo e laru mar dino cham, nyathino notho.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Ne giike kendo Israel duto noywage mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho kaluwore gi dho jatichne janabi Ahija.
19 Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Timbe mamoko mag loch Jeroboam kaka lwenje mane okedo kod kaka nobedo e loch ondiki e kitepe mag rapar mag ruodhi mag Israel.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Nobedo e loch kuom higni piero ariyo gariyo bangʼe to noyweyo gi kwerene. Kendo Nabad wuode nokawo lochne.
21 Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
Rehoboam wuod Solomon ne ruoth e Juda. Ne en ja-higni piero angʼwen gachiel kane obedo ruoth, kendo nobedo e loch kuom higni apar gabiriyo e Jerusalem, e dala maduongʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero kuom dhoudi duto mag Israel mondo oketie Nyinge. Nying min-gi ne en Naama nyar jo-Amon.
22 The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
Juda notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Kuom richo mane gitimo, negimiyo Nyasaye mirima omako kodgi moloyo kaka kweregi notimo.
23 They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
Bende negilosone gin giwegi kuonde motingʼore, kite milamo kod yiende mag Ashera ewi gode maboyo kendo e bwo yiende motarore.
24 Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
Bende ne nitie kata mana chwo materore kuonde lemo e pinyno, ne nitie kendo ji notimo timbe dwanyruok mag ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye oriembo oko e nyim jo-Israel.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
E higa mar abich mar loch ruoth Rehoboam, Shishak ruodh Misri nomonjo Jerusalem.
26 They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
Noyako mwandu hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi mwandu mag od ruoth. Nokawo gimoro amora, kaachiel gi kuodi mag dhahabu mane Solomon ochuogo.
27 King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
Omiyo ruoth Rehoboam nochwogo okumbni mag nyinyo mondo oket kar mane okawgo kendo nomiyo jotelo mag jorit mane rito rangach midonjogo e dala ruoth.
28 Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
E kinde moro amora mane ruoth dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, joritogo ne tingʼo kuodigo kendo bangʼe negidwokogi e od jorito.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Kuom weche mamoko mag loch Rehoboam, kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitap rapar mag ruodhi mag Juda?
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Ne nitiere lweny ma ok rum e kind Rehoboam gi Jeroboam.
31 Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
Rehoboam notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Nying min-gi ne en Naama; ma nyar jo-Amon. Abija wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
