1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, no vao nanjakan’ i Abia tamin’ ny Joda.
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
Telo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma.
3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
Ary nandeha tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra nataon-drainy izy, dia izay nataony teo alohany; ary ny fony tsy mba nahitsy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tahaka ny fon’ i Davida rainy.
4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
Nefa noho ny amin’ i Davida dia nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny fanilo tany Jerosalema ihany izy, fa natsangany handimby azy ny zanany, sady nampaharitra an’ i Jerosalema Izy,
5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
satria Davida nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ka tsy nivily niala tamin’ izay nandidiany azy tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany, afa-tsy ilay tamin’ i Oria Hetita ihany.
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
Ary niady Rehoboama sy Jeroboama tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Abia sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany? Ary niady Abia sy Jeroboama
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
Ary Abia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Asa zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
Ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa-polo nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Asa tamin’ ny Joda.
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
Ary iraika amby efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma.
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
Ary Asa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah toy ny nataon’ i Davida rainy.
12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
Fa nesoriny tamin’ ny tany ny olona izay nanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, sady nariany ny sampy rehetra izay nataon-drainy.
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Ary na dia Imaka reniny aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an’ ny Aseraha; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny ka nandoro azy tao an-dohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; nefa nahitsy teo imason’ i Jehovah ny fon’ i Asa tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin’ izay nohamasinin’ ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
Ary Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, niakatra hamely ny Joda, dia nanamboatra an’ i Rama mba tsy hisy hahazo hivoaka sy hiditra ho any amin’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
Ary Asa naka ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra izay sisa tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon ny mpanjaka, ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony; ary Asa mpanjaka nampanatitra azy tany amin’ i Beni-hadada, zanak’ i Tabrimona, zanak’ i Heziona, mpanjakan’ i Syria, izay nonina tao Damaskosy, ka nanao hoe:
19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
Aoka hisy fanekena amiko sy aminao toy ny tamin’ ny raiko sy ny rainao; koa, indro, mampanatitra volafotsy sy volamena ho fanomezana ho anao aho; andeha, tsoahy ny fanekenao tamin’ i Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, mba hialany amiko.
20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
Ary Beni-hadada nihaino an’ i Asa mpanjaka ka naniraka komandin’ ny miaramilany hamely ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely, ary namely an’ Iona sy Dana sy Abela-beti-maka ary Kinerota rehetra mbamin’ ny tanin’ ny Naftaly rehetra izy.
21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Basa izany, dia nitsahatra tsy nanamboatra an’ i Rama intsony izy sady nitoetra tao Tirza.
22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
Ary Asa mpanjaka kosa nampandre ny Joda rehetra (tsy nisy tsy nampandrenesiny); ary dia nesorin’ ny olona ny vato sy ny hazo tao Rama, izay naorin’ i Basa; ary nentin’ i Asa mpanjaka nanamboatra an’ i Geban’ i Benjamina sy Mizpa kosa izany.
23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Asa sisa rehetra sy ny heriny rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny tanàna izay nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany? Nefa kosa tamin’ ny andro fahanterany dia narary tamin’ ny tongony izy.
24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
Ary lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Josafata zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
Ary Nadaba, zanak’ i Jeroboama, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan-drainy sy tamin’ ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
Ary Basa, zanak’ i Ahia, amin’ ny taranak’ Isakara, nikomy taminy dia namely azy tao Gibetona, izay an’ ny Filistina (fa Nadaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra nanao fahirano an’ i Gibetona fahizay).
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
Ary Basa nahafaty azy tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka dia nanjaka nisolo azy.
29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
Ary rehefa nanjaka izy, dia namely ny mpianakavin’ i Jeroboama rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana ho an’ i Jeroboama na dia olona iray akory aza, fa naringany avokoa ireo araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Ahia Silonita mpanompony,
30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
noho ny fahotana nataon’ i Jeroboama sady nampanotany ny Isiraely tamin’ izay nataony nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Nadaba sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Basa, zanak’ i Ahia, tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tao Tirza; ary mpanjaka efatra amby roa-polo taona izy.
34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama sy tamin’ ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
