1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
| در هجدهمین سال سلطنت یربعام، پادشاه اسرائیل، اَبیّام پادشاه یهودا شد و سه سال در اورشلیم سلطنت کرد. مادر او معکه دختر ابشالوم بود. |
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
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.
| اَبیّام نیز مانند پدرش مرد فاسدی بود و مثل داوود پادشاه نبود که نسبت به خداوند وفادار باشد. |
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].
| اما با وجود این، خداوند به خاطر نظر لطفی که به جد او داوود داشت، به اَبیّام پسری بخشید تا سلطنت خاندان داوود در اورشلیم برقرار بماند؛ |
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].
| چون داوود در تمام عمر خود مطابق میل خداوند رفتار می‌نمود. او از دستورهای خداوند سرپیچی نکرد، به‌جز در مورد اوریای حیتی. |
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
| در طول سه سال سلطنت اَبیّام، بین رحُبعام و یربعام همیشه جنگ بود. |
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
| رویدادهای دیگر سلطنت اَبیّام در کتاب تاریخ پادشاهان یهودا نوشته شده است. میان اَبیّام و یربعام دائم جنگ بود. |
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
| وقتی اَبیّام مرد، او را در اورشلیم دفن کردند و پسرش آسا به جای او پادشاه شد. |
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
| در بیستمین سال سلطنت یربعام پادشاه اسرائیل، آسا پادشاه یهودا شد. |
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
| او چهل و یک سال در اورشلیم سلطنت کرد. مادر بزرگ او معکه دختر ابشالوم بود. |
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
| آسا هم مثل جد خود داوود، مطابق میل خداوند رفتار می‌کرد. |
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.
| افرادی را که لواط می‌کردند از سرزمین خود اخراج کرد و تمام بتهایی را که پدرش بر پا کرده بود، در هم کوبید. |
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.
| حتی مادر بزرگ خود معکه را به سبب اینکه بت می‌پرستید، از مقام ملکه‌ای برکنار کرد و بت او را شکست و در درهٔ قدرون سوزانید. |
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.
| هر چند بتکده‌های بالای تپه‌ها به کلی از بین نرفت، اما آسا در تمام زندگی خویش نسبت به خداوند وفادار ماند. |
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.
| آسا اشیاء طلا و نقره‌ای را که خود و پدرش وقف خانهٔ خداوند نموده بودند، در خانهٔ خداوند گذاشت. |
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
| آسا، پادشاه یهودا و بعشا، پادشاه اسرائیل همیشه با یکدیگر در حال جنگ بودند. |
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.
| بعشا، پادشاه اسرائیل به یهودا لشکر کشید و شهر رامه را بنا کرد تا نگذارد کسی نزد آسا، پادشاه یهودا رفت و آمد کند. |
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:
| آسا چون وضع را چنین دید، هر چه طلا و نقره در خزانه‌های خانۀ خداوند و کاخ سلطنتی بود گرفته، با این پیام برای بنهدد پسر طَبریمّون پسر حِزیون، پادشاه سوریه به دمشق فرستاد: |
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].”
| «بیا مثل پدرانمان با هم متحد شویم. این طلا و نقره را که برایت می‌فرستم از من بپذیر. پیوند دوستی خود را با بعشا، پادشاه اسرائیل قطع کن تا او از قلمرو من خارج شود.» |
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.
| بنهدد موافقت کرد و با سپاهیان خود به اسرائیل حمله برد و شهرهای عیون، دان، آبل بیت‌معکه، ناحیهٔ دریاچهٔ جلیل و سراسر نفتالی را تسخیر کرد. |
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.
| وقتی بعشا این را شنید، از ادامهٔ بنای رامه دست کشید و به ترصه بازگشت. |
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.
| آنگاه آسا به سراسر یهودا پیغام فرستاد که همهٔ مردان بدون استثنا بیایند و سنگها و چوبهایی را که بعشا برای بنای رامه به کار می‌برد برداشته، ببرند. آسا با این مصالح، شهر جبع واقع در زمین بنیامین و شهر مصفه را بنا نهاد. |
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.
| بقیهٔ رویدادهای سلطنت آسا، یعنی فتوحات و کارهای او و نام شهرهایی را که ساخته، همه در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان یهودا» نوشته شده است. آسا در سالهای پیری به پا درد سختی مبتلا شد. |
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.
| وقتی آسا فوت کرد، او را در آرامگاه سلطنتی، در شهر پدرش داوود دفن کردند. بعد از او پسرش یهوشافاط به مقام پادشاهی یهودا رسید. |
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.
| در سال دوم سلطنت آسا پادشاه یهودا، ناداب، پسر یربعام، پادشاه اسرائیل شد و دو سال سلطنت کرد. |
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.
| او نیز مثل پدرش نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید و اسرائیل را به گناه کشاند. |
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.
| بعشا پسر اخیا از قبیلهٔ یساکار بر ضد ناداب برخاست و هنگامی که ناداب با سپاه خود شهر جبتون را که یکی از شهرهای فلسطین بود محاصره می‌کرد بعشا ناداب را کشت. |
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
| بعشا در سومین سال سلطنت آسا پادشاه یهودا، به جای ناداب بر تخت سلطنت اسرائیل نشست. |
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).
| او وقتی به قدرت رسید تمام فرزندان یربعام را کشت، به طوری که حتی یک نفر هم از خاندان او زنده نماند. این درست همان چیزی بود که خداوند به‌وسیلۀ خدمتگزارش اخیای شیلونی خبر داده بود؛ |
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.
| زیرا یربعام نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید و تمام اسرائیل را به گناه کشاند و خداوند، خدای قوم اسرائیل را خشمگین نمود. |
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
| جزئیات سلطنت ناداب در کتاب «تاریخ پادشاهان اسرائیل» نوشته شده است. |
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
| بین آسا، پادشاه یهودا و بعشا، پادشاه اسرائیل همیشه جنگ بود. |
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.
| در سومین سال سلطنت آسا پادشاه یهودا، بعشا بر اسرائیل پادشاه شد و بیست و چهار سال در ترصه سلطنت کرد. |
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.
| او نیز مثل یربعام نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید و اسرائیل را به گناه کشاند. |
