1 Kings 14
1 At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick,
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Abija mũrũ wa Jeroboamu akĩrwara,
2 and Jeroboam saith to his wife, 'Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] king over this people;
nake Jeroboamu akĩĩra mũtumia wake atĩrĩ, “Wĩgarũre nĩgeetha ndũkae kũmenyeka atĩ nĩwe mũtumia wa Jeroboamu. Ũcooke ũthiĩ Shilo. Ahija ũrĩa mũnabii nĩkuo arĩ, ũrĩa wanjĩĩrire atĩ niĩ nĩngatuĩka mũthamaki wa andũ aya a Isiraeli.
3 and thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.'
Kuua mĩgate ikũmi, na tũmĩgate tũngĩ tũnini na kĩhembe kĩa ũũkĩ, ũthiĩ kũrĩ we. Nĩegũkwĩra ũrĩa ũhoro wa kamwana gaka ũgaikara.”
4 And the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtumia wa Jeroboamu agĩĩka ũguo eerirwo na agĩthiĩ mũciĩ kwa Ahija kũu Shilo. Na rĩrĩ, Ahija ndoonaga; nĩorĩte maitho nĩ gũkũra.
5 And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, 'Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.'
Nowe Jehova nĩeerĩte Ahija atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia wa Jeroboamu nĩarooka gũkũũria ũhoro wa mũriũ nĩ ũndũ nĩ mũrũaru, nawe ũmũcookerie ũna na ũna. Aakinya-rĩ, egwĩtua taarĩ mũndũ ũngĩ.”
6 And it cometh to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this — thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa Ahija aaiguire mũkinyo wa magũrũ make arĩ mũrango-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Toonya, mũtumia wa Jeroboamu. Ũretua tiwe nĩkĩ? Nĩndũmĩtwo kũrĩ we na ũhoro ũtarĩ mwega.
7 Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel,
Thiĩ, kũrĩ Jeroboamu ũmwĩre atĩ Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Niĩ ndakũnenehirie kuuma gatagatĩ ka andũ, ngĩgũtua mũtongoria wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
8 and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee, — and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which [is] right in Mine eyes,
Ndaatunyanire ũthamaki kuuma kũrĩ nyũmba ya Daudi, ngĩkũnengera, no wee ndũkoretwo ũhaana ta ndungata yakwa Daudi, ũrĩa watũire arũmĩtie maathani makwa, na akanũmĩrĩra na ngoro yake yothe, agekaga o ũrĩa wiki wagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ makwa.
9 and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back:
Wee nĩwĩkĩte maũndũ maingĩ mooru, gũkĩra andũ arĩa othe makoretwo marĩ mbere yaku. Nĩwĩthondekeire ngai ingĩ, o na mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ĩthondeketwo na kĩgera. Nĩũtũmĩte ndakare na ũkaahutatĩra.
10 'Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall — shut up and left — in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;
“‘Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, nĩngũrehere nyũmba ya Jeroboamu mwanangĩko. Nĩngwehereria Jeroboamu mwana o wothe wa kahĩĩ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, arĩ ngombo kana atarĩ ngombo. Nĩngacina nyũmba ya Jeroboamu o ta ũrĩa mũndũ acinaga mai nginya magathira.
11 him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.
Ngui nĩikaarĩa andũ a Jeroboamu arĩa magaakuĩra itũũra-inĩ inene, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ irĩe arĩa magaakuĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ. Jehova nĩguo oigĩte!’
12 'And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city — hath the lad died;
“No wee-rĩ, cooka mũciĩ. O wakinya itũũra-inĩ inene-rĩ, noguo mwana ũcio arĩkua.
13 and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one — by himself — cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Isiraeli othe nĩmakamũcakaĩra na mamũthike. Ũcio nowe wiki wa Jeroboamu ũgaathikwo, tondũ nowe wiki thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jeroboamu, Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, onete ũndũ mwega thĩinĩ wake.
14 'And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day — and what? — even now!
“Jehova we mwene nĩakarũgamia mũthamaki ũngĩ wa gũthamakĩra Isiraeli ũrĩa ũkaaniina nyũmba ya Jeroboamu. Ũmũthĩ nĩguo mũthenya! Atĩ atĩa? Ĩĩ, amĩniine o ro rĩu.
15 And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah to anger;
Nake Jehova nĩakahũũra Isiraeli, nginya mahaane ta ithanjĩ rĩrainaina rĩrĩ maaĩ-inĩ. Nĩakamunya andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri ũyũ mwega ũrĩa aaheire maithe mao, na amahurunje mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati, tondũ nĩmarakaririe Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩthondekera itugĩ cia Ashera.
16 and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.'
Nĩagatiganĩria andũ a Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa Jeroboamu ekĩte, na ningĩ agatũma Isiraeli meehie.”
17 And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;
Nake mũtumia wa Jeroboamu agĩũkĩra, agĩthiĩ Tiriza. Rĩrĩa aakinyire mũromo-inĩ wa nyũmba, kahĩĩ kau gagĩkua.
18 and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
Nao magĩgathika, na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩgacakaĩra, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte na kanua ka ndungata yake Ahija, ũrĩa mũnabii.
19 And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jeroboamu, mbaara ciake, na ũrĩa aathanire, nĩmandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli.
20 And the days that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son in his stead.
Aathamakire mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ, agĩcooka akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Nadabu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
21 And Rehoboam son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess.
Rehoboamu mũrũ wa Solomoni nĩwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Juda. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja, itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa Jehova aathuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtũũre kuo. Nyina eetagwo Naama, na aarĩ Mũamoni.
22 And Judah doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.
Nao andũ a Juda nĩmekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa meekire, nĩmarahũrire marakara make, akĩigua ũiru nĩ ũndũ nĩmehĩtie, gũkĩra ũrĩa maithe mao meehĩtie.
23 And they build — also they — for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, and under every green tree;
Ningĩ magĩĩthondekera kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na mahiga maamũre, na itugĩ cia Ashera, o harĩa hothe haarĩ karĩma karaihu, na rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe waramĩtie honge.
24 and also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
O na nĩ kwarĩ maraya ma arũme mahooero-inĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ; andũ acio magĩĩka maũndũ mothe marĩa maarĩ magigi ma ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaingatĩte mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli matanoka kuo.
25 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem,
Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩtano wa Mũthamaki Rehoboamu-rĩ, Shishaka mũthamaki wa Misiri agĩtharĩkĩra Jerusalemu.
26 and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made.
Nake agĩkuua igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova na igĩĩna cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Aakuuire indo ciothe o hamwe na ngo ciothe cia thahabu iria Solomoni aathondekithĩtie.
27 And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Rehoboamu agĩthondeka ngo ingĩ cia gĩcango handũ ha icio cia mbere, agĩcinengera anene a arangĩri arĩa maikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
28 and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe mũthamaki aathiiaga hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, arangĩri acio maathiiaga nake makuuĩte ngo icio, na thuutha ũcio magacicookia nyũmba-inĩ ya arangĩri.
29 And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe makoniĩ wathani wa Rehoboamu na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda?
30 And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days;
Hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ gwakoragwo na mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu.
31 and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
Nake Rehoboamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nyina eetagwo Naama, na aarĩ Mũamoni. Nake mũriũ Abija agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
