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:
Ary tonga tamin’ i Jeho, zanak’ i Hanany, ny tenin’ i Jehovah ny amin i Basa nanao hoe:
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.
Satria nasandratro avy tamin’ ny vovoka ianao ka notendreko ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely oloko; nefa kosa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama ihany ianao ary nampanota ny Isiraely oloko ka nampahatezitra Ahy tamin’ ny fahotany,
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.
dia, indro, hofongorako Basa sy ny taranany, ary ny taranakao hataoko tahaka ny taranak’ Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata.
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.”
Koa izay tamingan’ i Basa maty ao an-tanàna dia hohanin’ ny alika; ary izay tamingany maty any an-tsaha dia hohanin’ ny voro-manidina.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Basa sisa mbamin’ izay nataony ary ny heriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Ary Basa lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Tirza; ary Elaha zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
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.
Ary Jeho mpaminany zanak’ i Hanany, dia nampitondraina ny tenin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Basa sy ny taranany, satria nanao ratsy teo imason’ i Jehovah ka nampahatezitra Azy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tanany, ka dia tonga tahaka ny mpianakavin’ i Jeroboama, ary satria namono ireo izy.
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.
Tamin’ ny taona fahenina amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Elaha, zanak’ i Basa, tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Tirza, ary nanjaka roa taona izy.
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.
Ary Zimry mpanompony, komandin’ ny antsasaky ny kalesiny, nikomy taminy, raha nisotro ho mamo tao Tirza, tao an-tranon’ i Arza, lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa tao Tirza, izy.
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.
Dia niditra Zimry ka namely an’ i Elaha ho faty tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ary izy no nanjaka nisolo azy.
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.
Ary nony vao nanjaka Zimry ka nipetraka tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany, dia namono ny mpianakavin’ i Basa rehetra izy; ka tsy navelany hisy miangana na dia lehilahy iray akory aza, na tamin’ ny havany, na tamin’ ny sakaizany.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Toy izany no nandringanan’ i Zimry ny mpianakavin’ i Basa rehetra, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Jehovah mpaminany ny amin’ i Basa,
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.
noho ny fahotany rehetra sy ny fahotan’ i Elaha zanany koa, izay nataony sady nampanotany ny Isiraely ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny zava-poanany.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Elaha sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
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.
Tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nanjakan’ i Zimry hafitoana tao Tirza. Ary ny olona nanao fahirano an’ i Gibetona, izay an’ ny Filistina.
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.
Ary ny olona izay nitoby teo dia nandre hoe: Efa nikomy Zimry sady efa namono ny mpanjaka koa; ary ny Isiraely rehetra tany an-tobiny nampanjaka an’ i Omry, komandin’ ny miaramila, androtrizay ihany ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Dia niakatra avy tao Gibetona Omry sy ny Isiraely rehetra niaraka taminy, ka dia nanao fahirano an’ i 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].
Ary nony hitan’ i Zimry fa afaka ny tanana, dia lasa niditra tao amin’ ny trano avo amin’ ny lapa izy, ary nodorany tamin’ ny afo ny lapa, ka may tao izy, dia maty
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.
noho ny fahotana izay nataony tamin’ ny nanaovany izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, tamin’ ny nandehanany tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama sy tamin’ ny fahotana izay nataony sady nampanotany ny Isiraely.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Zimry sisa mbamin’ ny fikomiany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
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].
Ary tamin’ izany dia nizara roa ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely: ny antsasany nomba an i Tibny, zanak’ i Ginata, hampanjaka azy; ary ny antsasany kosa nomba an’ i Omry.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Fa ny olona izay nomba an’ i Omry naharesy ny olona izay nomba an’ i Tibny, zanak’ i Ginata; ka dia maty Tibny, ary Omry no nanjaka.
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.
Tamin’ ny taona fahiraika amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Omry; ary nanjaka roa ambin’ ny folo taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy; tao Tirza no nanjakany enin-taona.
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.
Ary novidiny talenta volafotsy roa tamin’ i Samera ny havoan’ i Samaria, dia nanao tanàna teo an-tampon’ ny havoana izy, ary nataony hoe Samaria, araka ny anaran’ i Samera, tompon’ ny havoana, ny anaran’ ny tanàna.
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.
Fa Omry nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah; eny, nanao ratsy mihoatra noho izay rehetra teo alohany izy;
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.
fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalana rehetra nalehan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sy tamin’ ny fahotana izay nampanotany ny Isiraely izy ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny zava-poanany.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Omry sisa mbamin’ izay nataony sy ny heriny izay nasehony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Ary Omry lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy; ary Ahaba zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Ary Ahaba, zanak’ i Omry, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny taona fahavalo amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ary nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria roa amby roa-polo Taona izy.
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.
Ary Ahaba, zanak’ i Omry, nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah mihoatra noho izay rehetra teo alohany.
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].
Fa nataony ho zavatra kely foana ny handeha amin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, ka dia nampakatra an’ i Jezebela, zanakavavin’ i Etibala, mpanjakan’ ny Sidoniana, izy ho vadiny, dia nandeha nanompo an’ i Bala ka niankohoka teo anatrehany.
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.
Ary nanao alitara ho an’ i Bala tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Bala izay nataony tao Samaria izy.
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.
Ary Ahaba nanao ny Aseraha ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mihoatra noho ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay teo alohany.
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].
Tamin’ ny andron’ i Ahaba no nanorenan’ i Hiela Betelita an’ i Jeriko; ny ain’ i Abìrama lahimatoany no sazin’ ny nanorenany ny fanambaniny, ary ny ain’ i Segoba faralahiny no sazin’ ny nananganany ny vavahadiny, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona.
