Fiawo 1 16
1 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Fia Baasa to Nyagblɔɖila Yehu dzi be,
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Ju son of Anani to Baasa, [saying],
2 “Meɖe wò tso ke me be, nàɖu fia ɖe nye dukɔ Israel dzi. Ke èto Yeroboam ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ƒe mɔwo dzi. Èna nye dukɔ, Israel wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wodo dziku nam kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo,
Forasmuch as I lifted you up from the earth, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their vanities;
3 eya ta azɔ la, matsrɔ̃ wò kple wò ƒometɔwo abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Yeroboam ƒe dzidzimeviwo ene.
Behold, I raise up [enemies] after Baasa, and after his house; and I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat.
4 Wò ƒometɔ siwo aku le dua me la, avuwo aɖu wo eye esiwo aku ɖe gbedzi la, akagawo aɖu wo.”
Him that dies of Baasa in the city the dogs shall devour, and him that dies of his in the field the birds of the sky shall devour.
5 Woŋlɔ nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si Baasa wɔ kple eƒe kalẽwɔwɔwo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 Baasa ku woɖii ɖe Tirza eye via Ela ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead.
7 Nyagblɔɖila Yehu gblɔ nya si tso Yehowa gbɔ, tso Baasa kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ŋu le nu vɔ̃ siwo Baasa wɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu ta. Edo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, menye le eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ko ta, abe ale si Yeroboam wɔ le eŋgɔ ene o, ke boŋ le ale si wòwu Yeroboam ƒe ƒometɔwo katã hã ta.
And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, [even] all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he struck him.
8 Ela, Baasa ƒe viŋutsu dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adelia me. Eɖu fia ƒe eve ko.
And Ela son of Baasa reigned over Israel two years in Thersa.
9 Aʋafia Zimri, ame si kpɔa fia la ƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe afã dzi la ɖo nugbe ɖe Fia Ela ŋu. Gbe ɖeka la, esi Fia Ela mu aha afã kple afã le Arza, ame si nye fiasãdzikpɔla ƒe aƒe me le Tirza, si nye fiadu la me la,
And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa.
10 Zimri zɔ tẽe ɖatɔ nue ƒu anyi eye wòku. Nya sia dzɔ le Yuda fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adrelia me. Zimri tsɔ eɖokui ɖo Israel fiae ɖe eteƒe.
And Zambri went in and struck him and killed him, and reigned in his stead.
11 Ewu Fia Baasa ƒe ƒometɔwo katã enumake eye megblẽ ŋutsu ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ɖi o. Ewu eƒe ƒometɔ siwo mete ɖe eŋu tututu o kple exɔlɔ̃wo gɔ̃ hã.
And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,
12 Baasa ƒe ƒometɔ siawo wuwu na nya si Yehowa gblɔ da ɖi to Nyagblɔɖila Yehu dzi la va eme.
that he struck all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet,
13 Dzɔgbevɔ̃enya sia dzɔ le Baasa kple via Ela ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta elabena wokplɔ Israel de legbawo subɔsubɔ me eye Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ŋutɔŋutɔ.
for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.
14 Woŋlɔ nu mamlɛawo tso Ela ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 Le Asa, Yuda fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adrelia me la, Zimri ɖu fia le Tirza ŋkeke adre. Aʋakɔ la ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Gibeton si nye Filistitɔwo ƒe du aɖe la xa.
And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel [was] encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines.
16 Esime Israelviwo se le asaɖa la me be Zimri ɖo nugbe ɖe fia la ŋu eye wòwui la, wotsɔ Omri, woƒe aʋafia la ɖo fiae gbe ma gbe ke le asaɖa la me.
And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and struck the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel.
17 Ale Omri kplɔ aʋakɔ si nɔ Gibeton la eye wòɖe to ɖe Tirza si nye Israel ƒe fiadu.
And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa.
18 Esi Zimri kpɔ be futɔwo xɔ Tirza la, eyi fiasã la me hetɔ dzoe ɖe eɖokui dzi eye wòku ɖe dzo la me.
And it came to pass when Zambri saw that his city was taken, that he goes into the inner chamber of the house of the king, and burnt the king's house over him, and died.
19 Esia va eme elabena eya hã wɔ nu vɔ̃ abe Yeroboam ene. Esubɔ legbawo eye wòkplɔ Israel de nu vɔ̃ me.
Because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
20 Woŋlɔ Zimri ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa kple eƒe nugbeɖoɖo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the history of Zambri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Azɔ la, Israel fiaɖuƒe la ma ɖe akpa eve me; akpa ɖeka nɔ Aʋafia Omri dzi eye akpa evelia nɔ Tibni, Ginat ƒe vi dzi.
Then the people of Israel divides; half the people goes after Thamni the son of Gonath to make him king; and half the people goes after Ambri.
22 Ke Aʋafia Omri ɖu Tibni dzi. Wowu Tibni ale be ame aɖeke megaʋli fiaɖuƒe la kple Omri o.
The people that followed Ambri overpowered the people that followed Thamni son of Gonath; and Thamni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Ambri reigned after Thamni.
23 Yuda fia, Asa ɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ̃-ɖekɛ esime Omri de asi fiaɖuɖu me le Israel. Omri ɖu fia ƒe ade le Tirza.
In the thirty-first year of king Asa, Ambri begins to reign over Israel twelve years: he reigns six years in Thersa.
24 Eƒle Samaria togbɛ la le Semer si hena klosalo kilogram blaadre eye wòtso du ɖe edzi. Etsɔ Semer, ame si si wòƒle togbɛ la le la ƒe ŋkɔ na du la be Samaria.
And Ambri bought the mount Semeron of Semer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver; and he built [upon] the mountain, and they called the name of the mountain [on] which he built, after the name of Semer the lord of the mount, Semeron.
25 Ke Omri nye nu vɔ̃ wɔla wu fia siwo katã do ŋgɔ nɛ.
And Ambri did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and wrought wickedly beyond all that were before him.
26 Esubɔ legbawo abe ale si Yeroboam wɔ ene eye wòkplɔ Israel de legbasubɔsubɔ me.
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he caused Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel by their vanities.
27 Woŋlɔ Omri ƒe ŋutinya ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Ambri, and all that he did, and all his might, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 Esi Omri ku la, woɖii ɖe Samaria eye Via ŋutsu Ahab zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Ambri slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Achaab his son reigns in his stead.
29 Yuda fia, Asa ɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi esime Ahab zu fia ɖe Israel dzi. Ahab ɖu fia ƒe blaene-vɔ-eve.
In the second year of Josaphat king of Juda, Achaab son of Ambri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Ahab wɔ nu vɔ̃ wu fofoa Omri gɔ̃ hã; ewɔ nu vɔ̃ wu Israel fia ɖe sia ɖe!
And Achaab did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more wickedly than all that were before him.
31 Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe Yezebel, Sidon fia Etbaal ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòde asi Baal subɔsubɔ me.
And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, but he took as wife, Jezabel the daughter of Jethebaal king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
32 Gbã la, etu gbedoxɔ kple vɔsamlekpui na Baal ɖe Samaria.
And he set up an altar to Baal, in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria.
33 Emegbe la, Ahab li aƒeli bubuwo eye wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖe siwo gado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la wu Israel fia bubu siwo katã do ŋgɔ nɛ.
And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and [to sin against] his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34 Le esime Ahab nɔ fia ɖum la, ŋutsu aɖe tso Betel, ame si ŋkɔe nye Hiel la gbugbɔ Yeriko tu. Esi wòɖo gɔmeɖokpea la, Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ, Abiram, ku eye esi wòwu enu hede agbowo dua ƒe gliwo nu la, Via ŋutsu suetɔ, Segub, hã ku. Esia va eme le fiƒode si Yehowa da ɖe du la dzi abe ale si Yosua, Nun ƒe vi la gblɔ ene la nu.
And in his days Achiel the Baethelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiron his firstborn, and he set up the doors of it in Segub his younger son, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Joshua the son of Naue.
