1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
Ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ìjọba Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, Abijah jẹ ọba lórí Juda,
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
ó sì jẹ ọba ní ọdún mẹ́ta ní Jerusalẹmu. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Maaka, ọmọbìnrin Absalomu.
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.
Ó sì rìn nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí baba rẹ̀ ti dá ṣáájú rẹ̀; ọkàn rẹ̀ kò sì pé pẹ̀lú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkàn Dafidi baba ńlá rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n, nítorí i Dafidi Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ fún un ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ kan ní Jerusalẹmu nípa gbígbé ọmọ rẹ̀ ró láti jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀ àti láti fi ìdí Jerusalẹmu múlẹ̀.
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].
Nítorí tí Dafidi ṣe èyí tí ó dára ní ojú Olúwa, tí kò sì kùnà láti pa gbogbo èyí tí Olúwa pàṣẹ fún un mọ́ ní ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ gbogbo; bí kò ṣe ní kìkì ọ̀ràn Uriah ará Hiti.
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
Ogun sì wà láàrín Rehoboamu àti Jeroboamu ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé Abijah.
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ní ti ìyókù ìṣe Abijah, àti gbogbo èyí tí ó ṣe, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Juda? Ogun sì wà láàrín Abijah àti Jeroboamu.
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
Abijah sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi. Asa ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
Ní ogún ọdún Jeroboamu ọba Israẹli, Asa jẹ ọba lórí Juda,
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
Ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu ní ọdún mọ́kànlélógójì. Orúkọ ìyá ńlá rẹ̀ sì ni Maaka, ọmọbìnrin Absalomu.
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
Asa sì ṣe èyí tí ó dára lójú Olúwa, bí Dafidi baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
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.
Ó sì mú àwọn ọkùnrin alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà, ó sì kó gbogbo ère tí àwọn baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe kúrò.
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.
Ó sì mú Maaka ìyá ńlá rẹ̀ kúrò láti máa ṣe ayaba, nítorí tí ó yá ère kan fún Aṣerah òrìṣà rẹ̀. Asa sì ké ère náà lulẹ̀, ó sì jó o ní àfonífojì Kidironi.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò mú àwọn ibi gíga kúrò, síbẹ̀ ọkàn Asa pé pẹ̀lú Olúwa ní ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ gbogbo.
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.
Ó sì mú wúrà àti fàdákà àti àwọn ohun èlò tí òun àti baba rẹ̀ ti yà sí mímọ́ wọ ilé Olúwa.
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
Ogun sì wà láàrín Asa àti Baaṣa ọba Israẹli ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé wọn.
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.
Baaṣa, ọba Israẹli sì gòkè lọ sí Juda, ó sì kọ́ Rama láti má jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni jáde tàbí wọlé tọ Asa ọba lọ.
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:
Nígbà náà ni Asa mú gbogbo fàdákà àti wúrà tí ó kù nínú ìṣúra ilé Olúwa àti ìṣúra ilé ọba. Ó sì fi lé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́, ó sì rán wọn lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Beni-Hadadi ọmọ Tabrimoni, ọmọ Hesioni ọba Siria tí ó ń gbé ní Damasku.
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].”
Ó sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí májẹ̀mú kí ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìwọ, bí ó sì ti wà láàrín baba mi àti baba rẹ. Wò ó, Èmi rán ọrẹ fàdákà àti wúrà sí ọ. Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, da májẹ̀mú rẹ pẹ̀lú Baaṣa, ọba Israẹli, kí ó lè lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi.”
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.
Beni-Hadadi gba ti Asa ọba, ó sì rán àwọn alágbára olórí ogun rẹ̀ sí àwọn ìlú Israẹli. Ó sì ṣẹ́gun Ijoni, Dani àti Abeli-Beti-Maaka, àti gbogbo Kinnereti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ilẹ̀ Naftali.
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.
Nígbà tí Baaṣa sì gbọ́ èyí, ó sì ṣíwọ́ kíkọ́ Rama, ó sì lọ kúrò sí Tirsa.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Asa ọba kéde ká gbogbo Juda, kò dá ẹnìkan sí, wọ́n sì kó òkúta Rama kúrò àti igi rẹ̀, tí Baaṣa fi kọ́lé. Asa ọba sì fi wọ́n kọ́ Geba ti Benjamini àti Mispa.
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.
Ní ti ìyókù gbogbo ìṣe Asa, àti gbogbo agbára rẹ̀, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, àti àwọn ìlú tí ó kọ́, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Juda? Ṣùgbọ́n, ní ìgbà ogbó rẹ̀, ààrùn ṣe é ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Asa sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ ní ìlú Dafidi baba rẹ̀. Jehoṣafati ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
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.
Nadabu ọmọ Jeroboamu sì jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ọdún kejì Asa ọba Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní ọdún méjì.
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.
Ó sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀ àti nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, èyí tí ó mú Israẹli dá.
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.
Baaṣa ọmọ Ahijah ti ilé Isakari sì dìtẹ̀ sí i, Baaṣa sì kọlù ú ní Gibetoni, ìlú àwọn ará Filistini, nígbà tí Nadabu àti gbogbo Israẹli dó ti Gibetoni.
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
Baaṣa sì pa Nadabu ní ọdún kẹta Asa ọba Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
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).
Ó sì ṣe, bí ó sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní jẹ ọba ó pa gbogbo ilé Jeroboamu, kò sì ku ẹnìkan tí ń mí fún Jeroboamu, ṣùgbọ́n ó run gbogbo wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, tí ó sọ nípa ọwọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo.
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.
Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí Jeroboamu ti ṣẹ̀ àti tí ó mú Israẹli ṣẹ̀, àti nítorí tí ó ti mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli bínú.
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ní ti ìyókù ìṣe Nadabu àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Israẹli?
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
Ogun sì wà láàrín Asa àti Baaṣa ọba Israẹli ní gbogbo ọjọ́ wọn.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹta Asa ọba Juda, Baaṣa ọmọ Ahijah sì jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli ní Tirsa, ó sì jẹ ọba ní ọdún mẹ́rìnlélógún.
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.
Ó sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà Jeroboamu àti nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, èyí tí ó ti mú Israẹli ṣẹ̀.
