1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat keessa, waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
innis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatee waggaa sadii ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Maʼakaa ture; isheen intala Abiishaaloom turte.
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.
Innis cubbuu abbaan isaa isaan dura hojjete hunda hojjete; garaan isaa akka garaan abbaa isaa Daawit ture sana guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif hin kennamne.
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].
Taʼu illee Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa Daawitiif jedhee akka inni isa dhaaluuf ilma isaaf kaasuu fi Yerusaalem jajjabeessuudhaan Yerusaalem keessatti ibsaa kenneef.
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].
Daawit yakka Uuriyaa namicha Heet sana irratti hojjete malee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjechuudhaan bara jireenya isaa guutuu ajajawwan Waaqayyoo eege.
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
Bara jireenya Abiyaa hunda keessa Rehooboʼaamii fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Wanni bara bulchiinsa Abiyaan keessa taʼe kan biraa fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamee jira mitii? Abiiyaa fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
Abiyaanis Abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aasaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa digdammaffaatti Aasaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
innis waggaa afurtamii tokko Yerusaalemin bulche. Maqaan akkoo isaa Maʼakaa ture; isheen intala Abiishaaloom turte.
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
Aasaan akkuma Daawit Abbaan isaa hojjete sana waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
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.
Inni mana sagadaa kan dhiirota sagaagalanii biyya sanaa balleessee waaqota tolfamoo abbootiin isaa hojjetan hundas barbadeesse.
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.
Akkoo isaa Maʼakaa iyyuu waan isheen fakkii Asheeraa jibbisiisaa tokko tolfatteef iddoo ulfinaa kan isheen akka haadha mootiitti qabaatte sana irra ishee buuse. Aasaan fakkii sana diigee Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gube.
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.
Yoo inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa guutumaan guutuutti balleessuu baate iyyuu bara jireenya isaa guutuu garaan Aasaa Waaqayyoof kennamee ture.
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.
Innis meetii fi warqee akkasumas miʼoota innii fi abbaan isaa Waaqaaf addaan baasan gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ni galche.
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
Aasaa fi Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel gidduu bara mootummaa isaanii guutuu waraanatu ture.
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.
Baʼishaan mootichi Israaʼel biyya Yihuudaatti duulee akka namni tokko iyyuu daangaa biyya Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessaa hin baane yookaan akka achi hin seenne gochuudhaaf jedhee Raamaa jabeessee ijaare.
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:
Aasaanis meetii fi warqee mankuusa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ofii isaa keessatti hafe hunda fudhate. Innis waan kana qondaaltota isaatti imaanaa kennee gara Ben-Hadaad ilma Xabrimoon ilma Heziyoon mooticha Sooriyaa kan Damaasqoo taaʼee bulchaa ture sanaatti isaan erge.
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].”
Innis, “Akkuma walii galtee kanaan dura abbaa koo fi abbaa kee gidduu ture sanaatti ammas anaa fi si gidduu walii galteen haa jiraatu. Kunoo ani kennaa meetii fi warqee siif ergeera. Akka inni narraa deebiʼuuf dhaqiitii walii galtee Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel wajjin qabdu sana diigi” jedheen.
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.
Ben-Hadaadis yaada Aasaa Mootichaa fudhatee ajajjuuwwan loltoota isaa magaalaawwan Israaʼelitti duulchise. Innis Iiyoon, Daan, Abeel Beet Maʼaakaa fi Kinereeti hunda Niftaalemin dabalee of jala galfate.
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.
Baʼishaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Raamaa ijaaruu dhiisee Tiirzaatti gale.
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.
Aasaan mootichis guutummaa Yihuudaatti ajaja baase; namni tokkos hin hambifamne; isaanis dhagaawwanii fi muka Baʼishaan achitti ittiin hojjechaa ture Raamaadhaa fudhatanii deeman. Aasaa mootichis Beniyaam keessatti Gebaa, akkasumas Miisphaa ittiin ijaarrate.
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.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa hundi, jabinni isaa hundi, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi magaalaawwan inni ijaare kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii? Bara dulluma isaa keessa garuu miilli isaa ni dhukkubsate.
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.
Ergasii Aasaan abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee magaalaa abbaa isaa magaalaa Daawit keessatti abbootii isaa biratti awwaalame. Yehooshaafaax ilmi isaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
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.
Naadaab ilmi Yerobiʼaamis bara Aasaan mootichi Yihuudaa mootii taʼe keessa waggaa lammaffaatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa lama Israaʼelin bulche.
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.
Innis karuma abbaa isaa irra deemee cubbuu abbaan isaa hojjetee saba Israaʼelinis hojjechiise sana hojjechuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
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.
Utuma Naadaabii fi sabni Israaʼel hundi magaalaa Filisxeemotaa kan Gibetoon jedhamtu marsaa jiranuu Baʼishaan ilmi Ahiiyaa namichi biyya Yisaakor sun Naadaabitti fincilee Gibetoon keessatti dhaʼee isa ajjeese.
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
Baʼishaanis bara Aasaan mootichi Yihuudaa mootii taʼe keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Naadaabin ajjeesee iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
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).
Inni akkuma mootii taʼeen maatii Yerobiʼaam hunda fixe. Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Ahiiyaa namicha Shiilootiin dubbatee ture sanaatti hunda isaanii fixe malee nama hafuura baafatu tokko illee Yerobiʼaamiif hin hambifne.
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.
Kunis sababii cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee saba Israaʼelis cubbuu hojjechiisuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel dheekkamsaaf kakaaseefii dha.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wantoonni biraa kanneen bara mootummaa Naadaab keessa hojjetamanii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
Aasaa fi Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel gidduu bara mootummaa isaanii guutuu waraanatu ture.
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.
Bara Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Baʼishaan ilmi Ahiiyaa Tiirzaa keessatti Israaʼel hunda irratti mootii taʼee waggaa digdamii afur bulche.
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.
Innis karuma Yerobiʼaam irra deemee cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee saba Israaʼelis hojjechiise sana hojjechuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
