I Na Lii 15
1 I KA umikumamawalu o ka makahiki o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, ua alii ae la o Abiama maluna o Iuda.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Ekolu makahiki i alii ai oia ma Ierusalema: a o Maaka ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Abisaloma.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 Hele ae la hoi oia ma na hewa a pau o kona makuakane ana i hana'i mamua ona; aole hoi i hemolele kona naau ia Iehova kona Akua, e like me ka naau o Davida kona kupunakane.
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 Aka, no Davida, haawi mai o Iehova kona Akua i kukui ia ia ma Ierusalema, e hooku i kana keiki mahope ona, a e hookupaa ia Ierusalema.
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 No ka mea, ua hana iho la o Davida i ka mea pono i na maka o Iehova, aole ia i kapae i kekahi mea ana i kauoha mai ai ia ia i na la a pau o kona ola ana, koe wale no ka mea ia Uria ka Heti.
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 He kaua hoi iwaena o Rehoboama a me Ieroboama i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 A o na oihana e ae a Abiama, a me ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke o na oihana a na lii o Iuda. He kaua hoi iwaena o Abiama a me Ieroboama.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
8 Hiamoe iho la hoi o Abiama me kona mau makua; a kanu ae la lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida. A ua alii ae la o Asa kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
9 A i ka iwakalua o ka makahiki o Ieroboama ke alii o ka Iseraela, ua alii ae la o Asa, maluna o Iuda.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
10 Hookahi kanaha kumamakahi makahiki i alii ai oia ma Ierusalema; a o Maaka ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Abisaloma.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
11 Hana iho la o Asa i ka mea pono i na maka o Iehova, e like me Davida kona kupuna.
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 Lawe ae la hoi oia i na moeaikane, mai loko ae o ka aina, a hemo ia ia na kiiakua a pau a kona makuakane i hana'i.
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 A ua hookaawale ae la oia ia Maaka kona makuwahine i ole ai ia e alii wahine, no ka mea, ua hana oia i kiiakua ma kahi e hoomana'i. Hoopau ae la hoi o Asa i kona kiiakua; puhi ae la hoi oia ia ma ke kahawai Kederona.
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 Aka, aole i hoopauia na wahi kiekie; he hemolele nae ka naau o Asa ia Iehova i kona mau la a pau.
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 Lawe mai la hoi oia i na mea a kona kupuna i hoolaa ai, a me na mea ana i hoolaa ai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i ke kala, i ke gula, a me na mea hana.
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 He kaua no hoi iwaena o Asa a me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela i na la a pau.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 Hele ae la o Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, a kukulu ae la ia Rama, i ole e ae oia i kekahi e puka aku a e komo mai paha io Asa la ke alii o Iuda.
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 Lalau iho la hoi o Asa i ke kala a me ke gula a pau e koe ana o ka waiwai o ka hale o Iehova a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, a haawi ae oia ia mau mea i ka lima o kana mau kauwa: a hoouna ae la o Asa ke alii ia lakou io Beneha-dada la ke keiki a Tiberimona, ke keiki a Heziona ke alii o Suria, e noho ana ma Damaseko, i ka i ana,
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 He berita iwaena o kaua, a iwaena o ko'u makuakane a me kou makuakane: eia hoi ua hoouna aku nei au iou la i ka makana, he kala, a he gula; e hele mai oe e uhaki i kau olelo kuikahi me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, i hele aku oia mai o'u aku nei.
“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 Hoolohe mai la o Benehadada ia Asa ke alii, a hoouna mai la oia i na luna o kona poe koa e ku e i na kulanakauhale o ka Iseraela, a pepehi iho la ia Iiona, a me Dana, a me Abelabetamaaka, a me Kinerota a pau, a me ka aina a pau o Napetali.
[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 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana ae o Baasa, haalele iho la oia i ke kukulu ana ia Rama, a noho no ia ma Tireza.
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 Alaila kauoha mai la o Asa ke alii, ma Iuda a puni, aohe mea kaawale; a lawe ae la lakou i na pohaku o Rama, a me na laau ona; a, me ia mau mea i kukulu ai o Asa ke alii ia Geba ma Beniamina, a me Mizepa.
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 A o na oihana e ae a pau a Asa, a me kona ikaika a pau, a me ka hana a pau ana i hana'i, a me na kulanakauhale ana i kukulu ai, aole anei i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na alii o Iuda? Aka hoi, i ka wa i elemakule ai oia, he mai kona, ma kona mau kapuwai.
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 Hiamoe iho la hoi o Asa me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida kona kupuna; a ua alii ae la o Iehosapata ma kona hakahaka.
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 Hoomaka ae la o Nadaba ke keiki a Ieroboama i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, a elua makahiki i alii ai oia maluna o ka Iseraela.
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 Hana hewa ae la oia ma na maka o Iehova, a hele ae la oia ma ka aoao o kona makuakane, a ma na hewa ona i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
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 Kipi ae la hoi ia ia o Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia no ka ohana a Isekara; a pepehi ae la o Baasa ia ia ma Gibetona, no ko Pilisetia; no ka mea, hele kaua ae la o Baasa a me ka Iseraela a pau ia Gibetona;
[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 I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda i pepehi ai o Baasa ia ia, a ua alii ae la oia ma kona hakahaka.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 Eia kekahi, i kona alii ana, pepehi iho la oia i ka ohana a pau a Ieroboama; aole oia i hookoe no Ieroboama i kekahi mea e hanu ana, a pau ia i ka lukuia e ia; e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o kana kauwa, o Ahiia no Silo:
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 No na hewa o Ieroboama ana i hana hewa ai, a i hoolilo hoi oia i ka Iseraela e hana hewa ai, i kana hoonaukiuki ana, i hoonaukiuki ai oia ia Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela.
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 A o na oihana e ae a Nadaba, a me ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na alii o ka Iseraela?
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 He kaua iwaena o Asa a me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela i na la a pau o laua.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda i hoomaka ai o Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia, i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela a pau ma Tireza i na makahiki he iwakalua kumamaha.
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 Hana hewa ae la hoi oia ma na maka o Iehova, a hele ae la hoi ia ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a ma kona hewa i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
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.
