1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
In pacl sacn Abijah, wen natul Tokosra Jeroboam, el mas.
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.
Jeroboam el fahk nu sin mutan kial, “Ekulla lumom in tia akilenyuk kom, ac fahla nwe Shiloh, nu yen mwet palu Ahijah el muta we, mwet se ma tuh fahk lah nga pa ac tokosra lun Israel.
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.”
Us singoul srukwal in flao, kutu cake, ac soko sufa in honey nu sel, ac siyuk lah mea ac sikyak nu sin wen se nutiktal inge, na el ac fahkot.”
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.
Ouinge mutan sac som nu Shiloh, nu yen sel Ahijah. Ahijah el tia ku in liye mweyen el matuoh.
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.
LEUM GOD El fahkang nu sel Ahijah lah mutan kial Jeroboam ah tuku in siyuk sel ke wen se natul su mas. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Ahijah ma elan fahk. Ke mutan kial Jeroboam ah sun acn we, el oru in mu siena mutan pa el.
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.
Tuh ke Ahijah el lohng ke el utyak ke mutunoa, el fahk nu sel, “Utyak. Nga etu lah mutan kial Jeroboam pa kom. Efu ku kom oru in mu siena mwet pa kom? Oasr pweng koluk nu sum.
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.
Folokot fahk nu sel Jeroboam lah pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sel: ‘Nga sulekomla inmasrlon mwet uh, ac oakikomi in leum fin mwet luk 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.
Nga eisla tokosrai liki fwilin tulik natul David ac usot nu sum, tuh pa kom tiana ou David, mwet kulansap luk, su arulana inse pwaye nu sik ac akos ma sap luk ac oru ma nga insewowo kac mukena.
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.
Ma koluk kom orala uh arulana koluk liki ma mwet nukewa su tokosra meet liki kom orala. Kom sisyula ac akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma sruloala pukanten kom orala, ac ke mwe alyalu ma orekla ke osra.
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].
Ke sripa inge, nga ac fah kunausla fwilin tokosrai lom, ac uniya mukul nukewa nutum — mwet matu ac mwet fusr oana sie. Nga ac fah sukela sou lom, oana ke mwet uh puokla fohkon kosro.
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].’
Kutena mwet in sou lom su ac misa in siti uh, ac fah mongola sin kosro ngalngul, ac kutena su misa likin siti uh, ac fah mongola sin won vulture. Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge.’”
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
Ac Ahijah el sifilpa fahk nu sin mutan kial Jeroboam, “Folokot nu yen sum. Pacl se na kom utyak nu in siti srisrik sac, wen nutum el ac misa.
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.
Mwet Israel nukewa ac fah asor kacl ac piknilya. El mukefanna sin sou lal Jeroboam pa ac wo ouiya pukpuki, mweyen el mukena pa LEUM GOD lun Israel El insewowo sel.
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!
LEUM GOD El ac oakiya sie tokosra lun Israel su ac fah wotela tokosrai lun Jeroboam.
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.
LEUM GOD El ac fah kalyei Israel, ac Israel ac fah kusrusrsrusr oana soko loa in soko infacl srisrik. LEUM GOD El ac fah fusak mwet Israel liki facl wowo se su El sang nu sin mwet matu lalos, ac El ac fah akfahsryeloselik nwe yen loessula alukela Infacl Euphrates, mweyen elos purakak kasrkusrak lal ke elos orala ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
LEUM GOD El ac fah sisla mwet Israel mweyen Jeroboam el orekma koluk, ac el kolla pac mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Mutan kial Jeroboam el folokla nu Tirzah. Pacl se na ma el utyak nu in lohm sel ah, na wen se natul ah misa.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Mwet Israel elos asor na kacl ac piknilya, oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke pusren mwet kulansap lal, Ahijah mwet palu.
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’.
Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Jeroboam el orala, ke mweun lal ac ouiyen kolyuk lal, ma inge nukewa simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Jeroboam el tokosra yac longoul luo. El misa ac pukpuki, ac Nadab, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
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, wen natul Solomon, el yac angngaul sie ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum ke yac singoul itkosr in acn Jerusalem, siti se su LEUM GOD El tuh sulela inmasrlon acn nukewa lun Israel tuh in acn se mwet uh in alu nu sel we. Nina kial Rehoboam pa Naamah, sie mutan Ammon.
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.
Mwet Judah elos oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac oru ma su purakak kasrkusrak lal lainulos yohk liki ma mwet matu lalos nukewa tuh oru meet lukelos.
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.
Elos musaela nien alu nu sin god sutuu, ac tulokunak sru eot, oayapa ma sruloala kacl Asherah, tuh elos in alu nu kac fineol uh ac ye lulin sak uh.
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.
Ma se ma koluk liki nukewa uh pa oasr mukul ac mutan su muta in nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kosro ac eis moul kac sin mwet su utyak nu we. Mwet Judah elos oru kain in mwe akmwekin yohk nukewa, su tuh orek sin mwet ma LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki facl sac ke pacl se mwet Israel elos utyak nu we.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
In yac aklimekosr ke pacl Rehoboam el tokosra, na Tokosra Shishak lun Egypt el tuku mweuni acn 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.
El usla mwe kasrup nukewa in Tempul ac in lohm sin tokosra, weang pac mwe loeyuk gold ma Solomon el tuh orala.
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.
Na Tokosra Rehoboam el orala pac kutu mwe loeyuk ke bronze in aolla ma inge, ac el sang nu sin mwet mweun su topang mutunoa nu ke inkul fulat sin tokosra tuh elos in liyaung.
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.
Pacl nukewa ma tokosra el ac som nu in Tempul, mwet topang uh ac us mwe loeyuk inge, na sifilpa folokunla nu infukil sin mwet topang uh.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ma nukewa ma Tokosra Rehoboam el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah].
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
In pacl se inge nufon, Rehoboam ac Jeroboam nuna amweuni sie sin sie.
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 el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David, ac Abijah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
