1 A shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, Abiyam ya zama sarkin Yahuda,
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekara uku. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Ma’aka ne,’yar Abisalom.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 Shi ma ya aikata dukan irin zunubai da tsohonsa ya yi. Zuciyarsa ba tă bi Ubangiji Allahnsa, kamar yadda zuciyar Dawuda kakansa ta yi ba.
Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
4 Duk da haka, saboda Dawuda Ubangiji Allahnsa ya ba shi fitila a Urushalima ta wurin ta da wani da ya gāje shi, ta wurinsa kuma Urushalima ta yi ƙarfi.
But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
5 Gama Dawuda ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji, bai kuma fasa kiyaye wani daga umarnan Ubangiji ba dukan kwanakinsa, sai dai a batun Uriya mutumin Hitti.
Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
6 Aka yi yaƙi tsakanin Rehobowam da Yerobowam a duk kwanakin Abiya.
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Abiyam kuwa, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda. Aka yi yaƙi tsakanin Abiyam da Yerobowam.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
8 Sai Abiyam ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a Birnin Dawuda. Asa kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
9 A shekara ta ashirin ta Yerobowam sarkin Isra’ila, Asa ya zama sarkin Yahuda,
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
10 ya yi mulki a Urushalima shekara arba’in da ɗaya. Sunan mahaifiya mahaifiyarsa, Ma’aka ne’yar Abisalom.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
11 Asa ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji, kamar yadda kakansa Dawuda ya yi.
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 Ya kori dukan maza karuwai na masujadai daga ƙasar, ya kuma yi waje da dukan gumakan da mahaifinsa ya yi.
He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
13 Ya tuɓe mahaifiya mahaifiyarsa Ma’aka daga matsayinta na mahaifiyar sarauniya, gama ta gina ƙazantaccen ginshiƙin Ashera. Asa ya yanke ginshiƙin, ya kuma ƙone shi a Kwarin Kidron.
He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 Ko da yake bai cire masujadai da suke kan tuddai ba, zuciyar Asa ta kasance da aminci ɗungum ga Ubangiji dukan kwanakinsa.
He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
15 Ya kawo azurfa da zinariya da kayayyakin da shi da mahaifinsa suka keɓe a haikalin Ubangiji.
He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
16 Aka yi yaƙi tsakanin Asa da Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila dukan kwanakin mulkinsu.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila ya haura, ya yi yaƙi da Yahuda, ya kuma gina Rama don yă hana wani daga fita ko shiga yankin Asa, sarkin Yahuda.
Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
18 Sai Asa ya ɗauki dukan azurfa da kuma zinariyar da suka rage a ma’ajin haikalin Ubangiji da kuma nasa fadan, ya ba da su ga wani shugabansa, ya kuma aika da su zuwa ga Ben-Hadad ɗan Tabrimmon, ɗan Heziyon, sarkin Aram, wanda yake mulki a Damaskus.
So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
19 Ya ce, “Bari yarjejjeniya ta kasance tsakanina da kai, kamar yadda ta kasance tsakanin mahaifina da mahaifinka. Duba, ina aika maka kyautai na azurfa da na zinariya. Yanzu fa sai ka janye yarjejjeniyarka da Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila, don yă janye daga gare ni.”
“I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
20 Ben-Hadad ya yarda da maganar Sarki Asa, ya kuma aika shugabannin sojojin mayaƙansa ya yi yaƙi da garuruwan Isra’ila. Ya kame Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Ma’aka da dukan Kinneret, haɗe da Naftali.
[So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
21 Da Ba’asha ya ji haka, sai ya daina ginin Rama, ya janye zuwa Tirza.
When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
22 Sai Sarki Asa ya ba da umarni ga dukan Yahuda, kuma babu wanda aka ware, kowa yă taimaka a kwashe duwatsu da katakan da Ba’asha yake amfani da su daga Rama. Da duwatsu da katakan ne Sarki Asa ya gina Geba a Benyamin da kuma Mizfa.
Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
23 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Asa, dukan nasarorinsa, dukan abin da ya yi, da kuma biranen da ya gina, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda. A tsufansa, sai ƙafafunsa suka kamu da cuta.
Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
24 Sai Asa ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi tare da su a birnin kakansa Dawuda. Sai Yehoshafat ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
25 Nadab ɗan Yerobowam ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a shekara ta biyu ta Asa sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma yi mulki a bisa Isra’ila shekara biyu.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
26 Ya yi mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, yana tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa da kuma cikin zunubinsa, wanda ya sa Isra’ila suka yi.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
27 Ba’asha ɗan Ahiya na gidan Issakar ya yi maƙarƙashiya gāba da shi, ya buge shi a Gibbeton, a wani garin Filistiyawa, yayinda Nadab da dukan Isra’ila suke wa garin kwanto.
[A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
28 Ba’asha ya kashe Nadab a shekara ta uku ta Asa sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 Nan da nan da ya fara mulki, sai ya kashe dukan iyalin Yerobowam. Bai bar wa Yerobowam wani da rai ba, amma ya hallaka su duka, bisa ga maganar Ubangiji da ya ba wa bawansa Ahiya, mutumin Shilo.
As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
30 Wannan abu ya faru saboda zunuban da Yerobowam ya yi, ya kuma sa Isra’ila ya yi, kuma saboda ya tsokane Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya yi fushi.
That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
31 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Nadab da kuma dukan abin da ya yi, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 Aka yi yaƙi tsakanin Asa da Ba’asha sarkin Isra’ila dukan kwanakin mulkinsu.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 A shekara ta uku ta Asa sarkin Yahuda, Ba’asha ɗan Ahiya ya zama sarkin dukan Isra’ila a Tirza, ya kuma yi sarauta shekara ashirin da huɗu.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
34 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, yana tafiya a hanyoyin Yerobowam da kuma cikin zunubinsa, wanda ya sa Isra’ila suka yi.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
