1 Athamaki 15
1 Mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati-rĩ, nĩguo Abija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
2 na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
3 Nĩekire mehia marĩa mothe ithe eekĩte mbere yake; ndeyamũrĩire Jehova Ngai wake na ngoro yake yothe, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi, Jehova Ngai wake akĩmũhe tawa kũu Jerusalemu na ũndũ wa gũtua mũriũ mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na gũtũma itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩrũme.
Nevertheless for David's sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;
5 Nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩekĩte ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaagire kũrũmia watho o na ũmwe wa Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, tiga ũhoro-inĩ wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.
because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.
6 Na rĩrĩ, gwatũũraga mbaara gatagatĩ ka Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe Abija aarĩ muoyo.
[Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.]
7 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Abija na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na nĩ kwarĩ mbaara gatagatĩ ka Abija na Jeroboamu.
The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.
9 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩguo Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda,
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.
10 nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe. Cũwe wake eetagwo Maaka mwarĩ wa Abisalomu.
He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
11 Asa nĩekire ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
12 Nĩaingatire maraya ma arũme ma mahooero-inĩ moime bũrũri ũcio, na akĩeheria mĩhianano yothe ya kũhooyagwo ĩrĩa maithe make maathondekete.
And he banished the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 O na nĩeheririe cũwe wake Maaka atige gũtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ nĩathondekete gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi mũno. Asa agĩkĩmomora, agĩgĩcinĩra kĩanda-inĩ gĩa Kidironi.
Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
14 O na gũtuĩka ndaathengirie mahooero marĩa maarĩ kũndũ gũtũũgĩru-rĩ, ngoro ya Asa nĩyerutĩire Jehova mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake wothe.
But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
15 Nĩarehire kũu hekarũ ya Jehova betha, na thahabu, na indo iria ciothe we mwene hamwe na ithe maamũrĩte.
He brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17 Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire agĩũkĩrĩra Juda na agĩaka rũthingo rwa hinya kũu Rama, nĩgeetha agirĩrĩrie andũ matikoime kana matoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 Ningĩ Asa akĩruta betha na thahabu ciothe iria ciatigarĩte kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova na kĩa nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki. Nake agĩciĩhokera anene ake macitwarĩre Beni-Hadadi mũrũ wa Taburimoni, mũrũ wa Hezioni, mũthamaki wa Suriata, ũrĩa waathanaga Dameski.
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
19 Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe, o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, kĩheo kĩa betha na thahabu nĩkĩo ndagũtũmĩra. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”
"Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
20 Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nake agĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Bethi-Maaka, na Kinerethu guothe, hamwe na Nafitali.
Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama, agĩthiĩ gũikara Tiriza.
It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
22 Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩruta watho kũu Juda guothe, gũtirĩ mũndũ watigĩrĩirwo, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ iria Baasha aahũthagĩra Rama. Indo icio nĩcio Mũthamaki Asa aakire nacio Geba kũu Benjamini, o na agĩaka kũu Mizipa.
Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ mothe makoniĩ wathani wa Asa, marĩa mothe aahingirie, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na matũũra marĩa aakire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda? Na rĩrĩ, Asa aakũra akĩrwara magũrũ.
Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asa akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoshafatu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 Nadabu mũrũ wa Jeroboamu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli mwaka wa keerĩ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya ithe na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
27 Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija wa nyũmba ya Isakaru nĩaciirĩire kũmũũkĩrĩra, nake akĩmũũragĩra kũu Gibethoni, itũũra rĩa Afilisti, rĩrĩa Nadabu na Isiraeli othe marĩrigiicĩirie.
Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28 Baasha ooragire Nadabu mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.
29 Aambĩrĩria gũthamaka-rĩ, nĩooragire andũ a nyũmba ya Jeroboamu othe. Ndaatigĩirie Jeroboamu mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo, no aamaniinire othe, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka ndungata yake Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni,
It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
30 nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa Jeroboamu ekĩte na agĩtũma Isiraeli mehie, na nĩ ũndũ nĩarakarĩtie Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Nadabu, na marĩa mothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 Gwatũire mbaara gatagatĩ ka Asa na Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli hĩndĩ yothe ya wathani wao.
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 Mwaka wa gatatũ wa Asa, mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, nĩguo Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe arĩ kũu Tiriza, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩna.
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
34 Nĩekire maũndũ ma waganu maitho-ini ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu, na mehia make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
