1 Kings 15

1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.

Nang ikalabing walong taon nga ng haring Jeroboam, na anak ni Nabat, ay nagpasimula si Abiam na maghari sa Juda.

2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.

Tatlong taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem, at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Maacha na anak ni Abisalom.

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.

At siya'y lumakad sa lahat ng mga kasalanan ng kaniyang ama na ginawa nito na una sa kaniya: at ang kaniyang puso ay hindi sakdal sa Panginoon niyang Dios, na gaya ng puso ni David na kaniyang magulang.

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].

Gayon ma'y dahil kay David ay binigyan siya ng Panginoon na kaniyang Dios ng isang ilawan sa Jerusalem, upang itaas ang kaniyang anak pagkamatay niya, at upang itatag sa Jerusalem:

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].

Sapagka't ginawa ni David ang matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon, at hindi lumihis sa anomang bagay na iniutos niya sa kaniya sa lahat ng kaarawan ng kaniyang buhay, liban lamang sa bagay ni Uria na Hetheo.

6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.

Nagkaroon nga ng pagdidigmaan si Roboam at si Jeroboam sa lahat ng kaarawan ng kaniyang buhay.

7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

At ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Abiam, at ang lahat niyang ginagawa, hindi ba nasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda? At nagkaroon ng pagdidigmaan si Abiam at si Jeroboam.

8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.

At si Abiam ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang; at inilibing nila siya sa bayan ni David: at si Asa na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.

At nang ikadalawang pung taon ni Jeroboam na hari sa Israel ay nagpasimula si Asa na maghari sa Juda.

10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.

At apat na pu't isang taong naghari siya sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Maacha, na anak ni Abisalom.

11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.

At ginawa ni Asa ang matuwid sa harap ng mga mata ng Panginoon, gaya ng ginawa ni David na kaniyang magulang.

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.

At kaniyang inalis ang mga Sodomita sa lupain, at inalis ang lahat ng diosdiosan na ginawa ng kaniyang mga magulang.

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.

At si Maacha naman na kaniyang ina ay inalis niya sa pagkareina, sapagka't gumawa ng karumaldumal na larawan na pinaka Asera; at pinutol ni Asa ang kaniyang larawan, at sinunog sa batis Cedron.

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.

Nguni't ang matataas na dako ay hindi inalis: gayon ma'y ang puso ni Asa ay sakdal sa Panginoon sa lahat ng kaniyang kaarawan.

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.

At kaniyang ipinasok sa bahay ng Panginoon ang mga bagay na itinalaga ng kaniyang ama, at ang mga bagay na itinalaga niya, pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlan.

16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.

At nagkaroon ng pagdidigmaan si Asa at si Baasa na hari sa Israel sa lahat ng kanilang kaarawan.

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.

At si Baasa na hari sa Israel ay umahon laban sa Juda, at itinayo ang Rama upang huwag niyang matiis na sinoma'y lumabas o pumaroon kay Asa na hari sa Juda.

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:

Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Asa ang lahat na pilak at ginto na naiwan sa mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at sa mga kayamanan ng bahay ng hari, at ibinigay sa kamay ng kaniyang mga lingkod: at ipinadala ang mga yaon ng haring Asa kay Ben-adad na anak ni Tabrimon, na anak ni Hezion, na hari sa Siria, na tumatahan sa Damasco, na nagsasabi,

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].”

May pagkakasundo ako at ikaw, ang aking ama at ang iyong ama: narito, aking ipinadala sa iyo ang isang kaloob na pilak at ginto; ikaw ay yumaon, sirain mo ang iyong pakikipagkasundo kay Baasa na hari sa Israel, upang siya'y lumayas sa akin.

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.

At dininig ni Ben-adad ang haring Asa, at sinugo ang mga puno ng kaniyang mga hukbo laban sa mga bayan ng Israel, at sinaktan ang Ahion at ang Dan, at ang Abel-bethmaacha at ang buong Cinneroth, sangpu ng buong lupain ng Nephtali.

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.

At nangyari nang mabalitaan yaon ni Baasa, na iniwan ang pagtatayo ng Rama, at tumahan sa Thirsa.

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.

Nang magkagayo'y itinanyag ng haring Asa ang buong Juda; walang natangi: at kanilang inalis ang mga bato ng Rama, at ang mga kahoy niyaon, na ipinagtayo ni Baasa; at itinayo ng haring Asa sa pamamagitan niyaon ang Gabaa ng Benjamin at ang Mizpa.

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.

Ang iba nga sa lahat na gawa ni Asa, at sa kaniyang buong kapangyarihan, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, at ang mga bayan na kaniyang itinayo, di ba nasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda? Nguni't sa panahon ng kaniyang katandaan, siya'y nagkasakit sa kaniyang mga paa.

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.

At si Asa ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at nalibing na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang sa bayan ni David na kaniyang magulang: at si Josaphat na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

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.

At si Nadab na anak ni Jeroboam ay nagpasimulang maghari sa Israel sa ikalawang taon ni Asa na hari sa Juda, at siya'y naghari sa Israel na dalawang taon.

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.

At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at lumakad ng lakad ng kaniyang ama, at sa kaniyang kasalanan na kaniyang ipinapagkasala sa Israel.

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.

At si Baasa na anak ni Ahia, sa sangbahayan ni Issachar ay nagbanta laban sa kaniya; at sinaktan siya ni Baasa sa Gibbethon, na nauukol sa mga Filisteo; sapagka't kinukulong ni Nadab at ng buong Israel ang Gibbethon.

28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.

Nang ikatlong taon nga ni Asa na hari sa Juda, ay pinatay siya ni Baasa, at naghari na kahalili niya.

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).

At nangyari, na pagkapaging hari niya, sinaktan niya ang buong sangbahayan ni Jeroboam, hindi siya nag-iwan kay Jeroboam ng sinomang may hininga, hanggang sa kaniyang nilipol siya, ayon sa sabi ng Panginoon na kaniyang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lingkod na si Ahias na Silonita:

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.

Dahil sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam na kaniyang ipinagkasala, at kaniyang ipinapagkasala sa Israel; dahil sa kaniyang pamumungkahi na kaniyang iminungkahing galit sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel.

31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Nadab, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, di ba nasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Israel?

32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.

At nagkaroon ng pagdidigmaan si Asa at si Baasa na hari sa Israel sa lahat ng kanilang kaarawan.

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.

Nang ikatlong taon ni Asa na hari sa Juda, ay nagpasimulang maghari si Baasa na anak ni Ahia sa buong Israel sa Thirsa, at naghari na dalawang pu't apat na taon.

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.

At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at lumakad ng lakad ni Jeroboam, at sa kaniyang kasalanan na ipinapagkasala sa Israel.
