1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
Ní àkókò náà Abijah ọmọ Jeroboamu sì ṣàìsàn,
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.
Jeroboamu sì wí fún aya rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ, sì pa ara rẹ dà, kí wọn kí ó má ba à mọ̀ ọ́n ní aya Jeroboamu. Nígbà náà ni kí o lọ sí Ṣilo. Ahijah wòlíì wà níbẹ̀; ẹni tí ó sọ fún mi pé, èmi yóò jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn yìí.
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.”
Mú ìṣù àkàrà mẹ́wàá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti àkàrà wẹ́wẹ́ àti ìgò oyin, kí o sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. Òun yóò sì sọ fún ọ ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ sí ọmọkùnrin náà.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni aya Jeroboamu sì ṣe bí ó ti wí, ó sì lọ sí ilé Ahijah ní Ṣilo. Ahijah kò sì ríran; ojú rẹ̀ ti fọ́ nítorí ogbó rẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ti sọ fún Ahijah pé, “Kíyèsi i, aya Jeroboamu ń bọ̀ wá béèrè nípa ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ rẹ, nítorí tí ó ṣàìsàn, báyìí báyìí ni kí ìwọ kí ó wí fún un. Nígbà tí ó bá dé, yóò ṣe ara rẹ̀ bí ẹlòmíràn.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì rí, nígbà tí Ahijah sì gbọ́ ìró ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ó sì wí pé, “Wọlé wá, aya Jeroboamu. Kí ló dé tí ìwọ fi ṣe ara rẹ bí ẹlòmíràn? A ti fi iṣẹ́ búburú rán mi sí ọ.
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.
Lọ, sọ fún Jeroboamu pé báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, ‘Èmi sì gbé ọ ga láti inú àwọn ènìyàn, mo sì fi ọ́ jẹ olórí lórí Israẹli ènìyàn mi.
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.
Mo fa ìjọba náà ya kúrò ní ilé Dafidi, mo sì fi fún ọ ṣùgbọ́n, ìwọ kò dàbí Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi, tí ó pa àṣẹ mi mọ́, tí ó sì tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn tọkàntọkàn rẹ̀, láti ṣe kìkì èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú mi.
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.
Ìwọ sì ti ṣe búburú ju gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti wà ṣáájú rẹ lọ. Ìwọ sì ti ṣe àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn fún ara rẹ, àwọn òrìṣà tí a gbẹ́; o sì ti mú mi bínú, o sì ti gbé mi sọ sí ẹ̀yìn rẹ.
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].
“‘Nítorí èyí, Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí ilé Jeroboamu. Èmi yóò ké gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Jeroboamu, àti ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ àti òmìnira ní Israẹli. Èmi yóò mú ilé Jeroboamu kúrò bí ènìyàn ti ń kó ìgbẹ́ kúrò, títí gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò fi tán.
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].’
Ajá yóò jẹ ẹni Jeroboamu tí ó bá kú ní ìlú, àti ẹni tí ó bá kú ní igbó ni àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run yóò jẹ. Olúwa ti sọ ọ́!’
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
“Ní ti ìwọ, padà lọ ilé, nígbà tí o bá sì fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ tẹ ìlú, ọmọ náà yóò kú.
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.
Gbogbo Israẹli yóò sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún un, wọn yóò sì sin ín. Òun nìkan ni a ó sì sin nínú ẹni tí ń ṣe ti Jeroboamu, nítorí lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nìkan ni a ti rí ohun rere díẹ̀ sípa Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ní ilé Jeroboamu.
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!
“Olúwa yóò gbé ọba kan dìde fúnra rẹ̀ lórí Israẹli tí yóò ké ilé Jeroboamu kúrò. Ọjọ́ náà nìyìí! Kí ni? Àní nísinsin yìí.
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.
Olúwa yóò kọlu Israẹli, yóò sì dàbí koríko ti ń mì nínú omi. Yóò sì fa Israẹli tu kúrò ní ilẹ̀ rere yìí, tí ó ti fi fún àwọn baba wọn, yóò sì fọ́n wọn ká kọjá odò Eufurate, nítorí wọ́n ti rú ìbínú Olúwa nípa ṣíṣe ère Aṣerah.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Yóò sì kọ Israẹli sílẹ̀ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí Jeroboamu ti ṣẹ̀ àti tí ó mú Israẹli ṣẹ̀.”
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Nígbà náà ni aya Jeroboamu sì dìde, ó sì lọ, ó sì lọ sí Tirsa. Bí ó sì ti fi ẹsẹ̀ tẹ ìloro ilé, ọmọdé náà sì kú.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Wọ́n sì sin ín, gbogbo Israẹli sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti wí láti ẹnu ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, Ahijah wòlíì.
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’.
Ìyókù ìṣe Jeroboamu, bí ó ti jagun, àti bí ó ti jẹ ọba, ni a kọ sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Israẹli.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Jeroboamu sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún méjìlélógún, ó sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. Nadabu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
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.
Rehoboamu ọmọ Solomoni sì jẹ ọba ní Juda. Ó jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mọ́kànlélógún nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní jẹ ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní ọdún mọ́kànlélógún ní Jerusalẹmu, ìlú tí Olúwa ti yàn nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti fi orúkọ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Naama, ará Ammoni.
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 sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa nípa ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn tí wọ́n ti dá, wọ́n sì mú u jowú ju gbogbo èyí tí baba wọn ti ṣe lọ.
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.
Wọ́n sì tún kọ́ ibi gíga fún ara wọn, àti ère òkúta àti òpó Aṣerah lórí gbogbo òkè gíga, àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tútù.
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.
Àwọn tí wọn jẹ́ ọkùnrin alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà wà ní ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti lé jáde kúrò níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
Ó sì ṣe ní ọdún karùn-ún Rehoboamu, Ṣiṣaki ọba Ejibiti kọlu Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ó sì kó ìṣúra ilé Olúwa lọ àti ìṣúra ilé ọba. Gbogbo rẹ̀ ni ó kó lọ, pẹ̀lú asà wúrà tí Solomoni ti ṣe.
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.
Rehoboamu ọba sì ṣe asà idẹ ní ipò wọn, ó sì fi wọ́n sí ọwọ́ olórí àwọn olùṣọ́ tí ń ṣọ́ ìlẹ̀kùn ilé ọba.
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.
Nígbàkígbà tí ọba bá sì lọ sí ilé Olúwa, wọ́n á rù wọ́n, wọ́n á sì mú wọn padà sínú yàrá olùṣọ́.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ní ti ìyókù ìṣe Rehoboamu, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, ǹjẹ́ a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Juda bí?
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Ogun sì wà láàrín Rehoboamu àti Jeroboamu ní ọjọ́ wọn gbogbo.
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.
Rehoboamu sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú wọn ní ìlú Dafidi. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Naama; ará Ammoni. Abijah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
