< 1 Kings 15 >
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
Nebat capa Jeroboam siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitazetto naah, Abijam loe siangpahrang ah oh.
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah. She was the daughter of Abishalom.
Anih loe Jerusalem ah saning thumto thung siangpahrang ah oh; anih ih amno loe Abishalom canu Maakah.
3 He walked in all the sins that his father had committed before his time; his heart was not devoted to Yahweh his God as the heart of David, his ancestor, had been.
Anih doeh ampa mah Angraeng hmaa ah sak ih zaehaih baktih toengah sak toeng; anih ih palungthin loe, ampa David baktiah angmacae Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah akoep thai ai.
4 Nevertheless, for David's sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up his son after him in order to strengthen Jerusalem.
Toe David rang hoiah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, angmah pacoengah siangpahrang ah suek hanah, Jerusalem ah hmai-im maeto a paek.
5 God did this because David had done what was right in his eyes; for all the days of his life, he had not turned away from anything that he commanded him, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
David loe Hit kami Uriah kawng thui ai ah loe, a hing thung Angraeng hmaa ah katoeng hmuen to sak, Angraeng mah paek ih lok to pazui ai ah om ai.
6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijah's life.
Anih hing thung Rehoboam hoi Jeroboam loe misa angtuk hoi.
7 As for the other matters of Abijah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
Abijam siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah pakuem o na ai maw? Abijam hoi Jeroboam salakah misatukhaih to oh.
8 Abijah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Asa his son became king in his place.
Abijam loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Asa to siangpahrang ah oh.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
Israel siangpahrang Jeroboam siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning pumphaeto naah, Asa loe Judah siangpahrang ah oh.
10 He ruled forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Anih loe Jerusalem ah saning quipalito thung siangpahrang ah oh. Anih ih amno hmin loe Maakah.
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David, his ancestor, had done.
Asa loe ampa David baktiah, Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih hmuen to sak.
12 He expelled the cultic prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his ancestors had made.
Nongpata baktiah kangsah kaminawk to prae thung hoiah haek boih moe, ampa mah sak ih krangnawk to paro boih.
13 He also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen, because she had made a disgusting figure out of an Asherah pole. Asa cut down the disgusting figure and burned it at the Kidron Valley.
Amno mah Asherah thing tlim ah krang to sak pongah, siangpahrang amno ah ohhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawtsak; Asa mah to ih Asherah krang soi ih thing to pakhruk moe, Kidron vacong ah hmai hoiah thlaek.
14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, Asa's heart was completely devoted to Yahweh all his days.
Hmuensangnawk to takhoe king ai, toe a hing thung Asa ih palungthin loe Angraeng hmaa ah akoephaih tawnh.
15 He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that were set apart by his father, and his own things that had been set apart that were made of silver and gold, and vessels.
Angmah hoi ampa mah paek ih, sui, phoisa hoi laom sabaenawk to Angraeng tempul thungah a suek.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel, all their days.
Asa hoi Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe hing thung misa ah oh hoi poe.
17 Baasha king of Israel, acted aggressively against Judah and built up Ramah, so that he might not allow anyone to leave or enter into the land of Asa king of Judah.
Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe Judah tuk hanah caeh tahang moe, Judah siangpahrang Asa ih prae thungah mi kawbaktih doeh caeh han ai, tacawt han ai ah, Ramah vangpui to sipae hoi ka caakah a thungh.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold left in the storerooms in the house of Yahweh, and the storerooms of the king's palace. He put it into the hands of his servants and sent it to Ben Hadad son of Tabrimmon son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus. He said,
To naah Asa mah Angraeng tempul thung hoi siangpahrang imthung ih, sui hoi phoisanawk to lak boih moe, a tamnanawk khaeah paek pacoengah, Damaska ukkung, Syria siangpahrang Hezion capa Tabrimon capa Ben-Hadad khaeah a pat pae.
19 “Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a gift of silver and gold. Break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, so that he may leave me alone.”
Kampa hoi nampa mah angdaehhaih sak hoi baktih toengah, nang hoi kai salakah doeh angdaehhaih sah si; khenah, nang hanah sui hoi phoisa tangqum ah kang pat; anih kai khae hoi tacawt thai hanah, Israel siangpahrang Baasha hoi na sak ih angdaehhaih to phrae ah, tiah a naa.
20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies, and they attacked the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel of Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, together with all the land of Naphtali.
Asa siangpahrang ih lok to Ben-Hadad mah tahngaih moe, Israel vangpuinawk tuk hanah angmah ih misatuh angraengnawk to patoeh; anih mah Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maakah hoi Naphtali prae pacoengah, Kinneroth prae boih to pazawk.
21 It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah and went back to Tirzah.
Baasha mah to tamthanglok to thaih naah, a sak li ih Ramah vangpui to toengh sut moe, Tirzah ah oh.
22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones and timbers of Ramah with which Baasha had been building up the city. Then King Asa used that building material to build up Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
To naah Asa siangpahrang mah Judah prae thung boih ah lok to taphong; mi kawbaktih doeh tahmaat ai; Baasha mah im sak naah patoh ih thlungnawk, thingnawk to a lak pae boih; Asa siangpahrang loe nihcae abomhaih hoiah Benjamin prae ih Geba hoi Mizpah vangpui to sak.
23 As for the other matters of Asa, all his might, all that he did, and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah? But during his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Asa siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoiah a sak ih hmuennawk boih, a sak ih vangpuinawk boih loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ih ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw? Toe mitong naah loe, a khok ah nathaih to oh pae.
24 Then Asa slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.
To pacoengah Asa loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampanawk hoi nawnto David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Jehosaphat to siangpahrang ah oh.
25 Nadab son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; he reigned over Israel two years.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnetto haih naah, Jeroboam capa Nadab loe Israel siangpahrang ah oh; Israel kaminawk nuiah saning hnetto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
26 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of his father, and in his own sin, by which he led Israel to sin.
Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak; ampa ih loklam ah caeh moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsak kami mah sak ih zaehaih to a sak toeng.
27 Baasha son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, conspired against Nadab; Baasha killed him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
Issakar imthung takoh, Ahijah capa Baasha mah anih to tuk han pacaeng pongah, Nadab hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah, Philistinnawk ih vangpui Gebbethon to takui o khoep moe, anih to hum o.
28 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and became king in his place.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Baasha mah Nadab to hum moe, angmah to siangpahrang ah oh.
29 As soon as he was king, Baasha killed all the family of Jeroboam. He left none of Jeroboam's descendants breathing; in this way he destroyed his royal line, just as Yahweh had spoken by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
Anih siangpahrang ah oh naah, Jeroboam imthung takohnawk to hum boih; Angraeng Sithaw mah a tamna Shiloh ih kami Ahijah rang hoiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Jeroboam imthung takoh tamit boih ai karoek to, anghahhaih takhi tawn kami maeto doeh tahmaat ai;
30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he committed and by which he led Israel to sin, because he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.
Jeroboam loe zaehaih to sak moe, Israel kaminawk doeh a zaesak pongah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw to palungphuisak.
31 As for the other matters concerning Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Nadab siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk boih loe, Israel siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Asa hoi Israel siangpahrang Baasha loe hing thung misa angtuk hoi.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah and he reigned twenty-four years.
Judah siangpahrang Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning thumto naah, Ahijah capa Baashato Tirzah ah Israel siangpahrang ah oh; anih loe saning pumphaeto thung siangpahrang ah oh.
34 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin by which he led Israel to sin.
Anih doeh Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsak kami, Jeroboam zaehaih loklam ah a caeh.
