1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Jehu wuod Hanani kuom Baasha mowachone niya, “Nayieri.”
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
Ne atingʼi malo ka agoli e buru mi aketi jatend joga Israel to niwuotho e yore mag Jeroboam mi nimiyo joga Israel otimo richo kendo ne uchwanya mi imiyo abet gi mirima nikech richo magu.
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Omiyo koro achiegni tieko Baasha kod ode kendo abiro keto odi kaka mano mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Guogi biro chamo joka Baasha motho e mier madongo, kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pewe.
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Timbe duto mag loch Baasha gi gik mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitepe ruodhi mag Israel?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Baasha noyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike Tirza. Kendo Ela wuode nokawo lochne kaka ruoth.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Kata kamano, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro gi dho janabi Jehu wuod Hanani ni Baasha kod ode, nikech richo duto mane osetimo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, komiye mirima gi gik moko mane osetimo, kendo kobedo machal gi od Jeroboam, kendo bende nikech mano nokethe.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
E higa mar piero ariyo gauchiel mar loch Asa Ruodh Juda, Ela wuod Baasha nodoko ruodh Israel kendo nobedo ruodh Tirza kuom higni ariyo.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Achiel kuom jotende miluongo ni Zimri mane otelo ni nus gechene nochano mar nege. Ela ne nitie Tirza e kindeno, komer e dala Arza, ngʼat motelo ni od ruoth man Tirza.
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
Zimri nodonjo e ot mogoye kendo onege e higa mar piero ariyo gabiriyo mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, kendo nokawo lochne kaka ruoth.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Mapiyo ka osechako locho kendo mobetie e kom loch, nonego anywola Baasha duto. Ne ok ongʼwono kata ni nyathi ma wuowi, bed ni ne en wat kata osiep.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Omiyo Zimri noketho od Baasha, kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye mane owacho ni Baasha kawuok kuom Jehu janabi
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
nikech richo duto mane Baasha kod wuode Ela nosetimo kendo mane gimiyo Israel otimo, omiyo ne giwangʼo ii Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, ka gimiye mirima gi nyiseche manono.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Timbe mamoko mag loch Ela kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitap rapar mag ruodhi mag Israel?
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
E higa mar piero ariyo gabiriyo mar Asa ruodh Juda, Zimri nobedo ruodh Tirza kuom ndalo abiriyo. Jolweny nogoyo kambi but Gibethon e dala mar jo-Filistia.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Kane jo-Israel mane ni e kambi nowinjo ni Zimri osemonjo ruoth mi onege, negiketo ni Omri ma jatend jolweny, mondo obedo ruoth mar Israel mana gi chiengʼno.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Eka Omri gi jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nowuok Gibethon mi gimonjo Tirza.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Kane Zimri oneno ni dalano osekaw, nodhi kama tek mar dala ruoth, nomoko dalano mach molwore. Mine otho,
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
nikech richo mane otimo, kotimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo kowuotho e yore Jeroboam kendo e richo mane otimo, kod mago mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Timbe mamoko mag loch Zimri gi ngʼanyo mane obedogo, donge ondikgi e kitepe mag rapar mag ruodhi Israel?
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Eka jo-Israel nopogore e migepe ariyo; migawo achiel ne chwako Tibni wuod Ginath kaka ruoth, to migawo machielo ne chwako Omri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
To joma ne luwo Omri ne onyisore ni gin giteko moloyo mago mag Tibni wuod Ginath. Kamano Tibni notho to Omri nodoko ruoth.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
E higa mar piero adek gachiel mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, Omri nobedo ruodh Israel, nobedo ruoth kuom higni apar gariyo, ka auchiel kuomgi en Tirza.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Nongʼiewo gode mag Samaria gi Shemer gi fedha ma dirom kilo piero abiriyo kendo mogero dala maduongʼ e got, miluongo ni Samaria, kochake Shemer nying wuon godno.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
To Omri notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo notimo richo mathoth moloyo joma notelo ne.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Nowuotho e yore duto mag Jeroboam wuod Nebat kod richone mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo, mine gimiyo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel mirima gi nyisechegi manono.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Timbe mamoko mag loch Omri gi gik mabeyo mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitap rapar mar ruodhi mag Israel?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Omri noyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike Samaria, kendo Ahab wuode nokawo lochne kaka ruoth.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
E higa mar piero adek gaboro mar loch Asa ruodh Juda, Ahab wuod Omri nobedo ruodh Israel, kendo nobedo ruodh Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gariyo kodak Samaria.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Ahab wuod Omri notimo timbe mamono mangʼeny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye moloyo joma notelo ne.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Ok nine oluwo richo mag Jeroboam wuod Nebat kende, to bende nine okendo Jezebel nyar Ethbal ruodh Sidon mi nochako tiyo ni Baal kendo lame.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Ne oloso kendo mar misango ne Baal e hekalu mar Baal mane osegero e Samaria
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Ahab bende noloso siro mar Ashera kendo notimo mangʼeny mamoko mondo ochwanygo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, kendo owangʼ iye moloyo ruodhi duto mag Israel mane nitiere motelone.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
E kinde Ahab, Hiel ja-Bethel nochako gero Jeriko kendo. Noketo misene mi wuode makayo miluongo ni Abiram notho kendo kane oguro dhorangeye to wuode ma chogo miluongo ni Segub bende notho, mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye mane owacho gi dho Joshua wuod Nun.
