1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
Tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary Abia, zanak’ i Jeroboama.
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.
Ary hoy Jeroboama tamin’ ny vadiny: Masìna ianao, mitsangàna, ka miovà endrika, mba tsy ho fantatr’ olona ho vadin’ i Jeroboama ianao; dia mankanesa any Silo, fa, indro, ao Ahia mpaminany, ilay nilaza tamiko fa ho mpanjakan’ ity firenena ity aho.
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.”
Koa mitondrà mofo folo sy mofo madinika ary tantely iray tavoara, ka mankanesa any aminy; fa izy hanambara aminao izay ho toetry ny zaza.
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.
Dia nanao araka izany ny vadin’ i Jeroboama ka niainga nankany Silo izy, dia nankao an-tranon’ i Ahia. Ary Ahia tsy nahita, fa efa pahina ny masony noho ny fahantrany.
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.
Ary Jehovah efa nilaza tamin’ i Ahia hoe: Indro, avy ny vadin’ i Jeroboama hanontany anao ny amin’ ny zanany, fa marary izy; ary izao ka izao no holazainao aminy; nefa raha miditra izy, dia hody vehivavy hafa.
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.
Ary nony ren’ i Ahia ny fingodongodon’ ny tongony, raha vao niditra teo am-baravarana izy, dia hoy izy: Mandrosoa, ry vadin’ i Jeroboama; nahoana ianao no mody olonkafa? Fa izaho dia nirahina hitondra teny mafy aminao.
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.
Koa mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Jeroboama hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Satria nanandratra anao avy tamin’ ny olona Aho ka nanendry anao ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko,
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.
ary nendahako ny fanjakana ho afaka tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida ka nomeko anao, nefa kosa ianao tsy mba nanao tahaka an’ i Davida mpanompoko, izay nitandrina ny teniko sy nanaraka Ahy tamin’ ny fony rehetra tsy hanao na inona na inona afa-tsy izay marina eo imasoko ihany;
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.
fa nanao ratsy mihoatra noho izay rehetra teo alohanao ianao, fa lasa nanao andriamani-kafa sy sarin-javatra an-idina ka nampahatezitra Ahy, fa Izaho efa narianao teo ivohonao:
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].
koa noho izany dia, indro, hahatonga loza amin’ ny taranak’ i Jeroboama Aho ka handringana izay lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny tamingan’ i Jeroboama, na ny voahazona na ny afaka amin’ ny Isiraely, ary hanaisotra ny sisa amin’ ny taranak’ i Jeroboama Aho, toy ny fanaisotry ny olona ny diky ambara-paha-tsy hisy intsony.
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].’
Koa izay tamingan’ i Jeroboama maty ao an-tanàna dia hohanin’ ny alika; ary izay maty any an-tsaha dia hohanin’ ny voro-manidina; fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
Koa mitsangàna ianao, ka modia any an-tranonao; fa raha vao mijadona ao an-tanàna ny tongotrao, dia, indro, ho faty ny zaza.
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.
Ary ny Isiraely rehetra hisaona sy handevina azy; fa amin’ ny tamingan’ i Jeroboama dia izy irery ihany no ho tonga ao am-pasana, satria izy ihany no nahitana fahatsaram-panahy ny amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
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!
Ary Jehovah hanangana mpanjaka ho an’ ny Isiraely izay handringana ny taranak’ i Jeroboama amin’ izany andro izany; fa rahoviana ange izany? Izao ankehitriny izao ihany.
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.
Fa Jehovah hamely ny Isiraely toy ny volotara hozongozonina any anaty rano sady hanongotra ny Isiraely amin’ ity tany soa nomeny ny razany ity ary hanely azy ho any an-dafin’ ny Ony, satria nanao ireo Aseraha izy ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Ary Izy hanolotra ny Isiraely noho ny fahotana izay nataon’ i Jeroboama sady nampanotany ny Isiraely.
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Dia niainga ny vadin’ i Jeroboama ka lasa nandeha ary tonga tany Tirza; koa rehefa mby teo amin’ ny tokonam-baravarana izy, dia maty ny zazalahy;
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
dia nandevina azy ny Isiraely rehetra sady nisaona azy, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Ahia mpaminany mpanompony.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeroboama sisa, dia ny niadiany sy ny nanjakany, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Jeroboama dia roa amby roa-polo taona; dia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany izy; ary Nadaba zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
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.
Ary Rehoboama, zanak’ i Solomona, no nanjaka tamin’ ny Joda. Efa iraika amby efa-polo taona Rehoboama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary fito ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, tanàna nofidin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra hametrahany ny anarany. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Nama Amonita.
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.
Ary ny Joda nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ka nampahasaro-piaro Azy tamin’ ny fahotana izay nataony mihoatra noho izay rehetra nataon’ ny razany.
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.
Fa izy koa nanao fitoerana avo ho azy sy tsangam-baton-tsampy ary Aseraha teny an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy teny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra.
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.
Ary nisy olona nanolo-tena nijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy teo amin’ ny tany; ary nanaraka ny fahavetavetana rehetra fanaon’ ny firenena izay noroahin’ i Jehovah teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy nanjakan-dRehoboama mpanjaka dia niakatra Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hamely an’ i Jerosalema;
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.
dia nobaboiny ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka ka lasany avokoa; ary nobaboiny koa ny ampinga volamena rehetra nataon’ i Solomona
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.
Ary Rehoboama mpanjaka nanao ampinga varahina ho solon’ ireny ka nanolotra azy teo an-tànan’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina, izay niambina ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka
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.
Ary na oviana na oviana no nidiran’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia nentin’ ny mpiambina ireo ka naveriny tao an-trano fiambenana indray.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ary ny tantaran-dRehoboama sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Ary niady mandrakariva Rehoboama sy Jeroboama.
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.
Ary Rehoboama lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Nama Amonita. Ary Abia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
