1 Kva 14

1 Hagi ana knafina Jeroboamu nemofo Abiza'a kri eri'ne.

At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.

2 Ana'ma higeno'a Jeroboamu'a nenarona amanage huno asami'ne, Kukena hunka ru a'negna hutenka, vahe'mo'a nagri are huno keno antahinora osina Sailo kumate vunka nagri'ma kini manigahane hige'nama kinima mani'noa kasnampa ne' Ahizante vuo.

Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.

3 Hagi musezama erinte'nenkama vananana 10ni'a bretine, mago'a kekine, tumerima'a me'nea tafenena erinka vunka ama mofavremofontera naza fore hugahifi, ome kenka antahigegeno kasamino.

Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”

4 Anagema higeno'a Jeroboamu nenaro'a kema hiaza huno ru a'negna huteno, Sailo kumate Ahiza nonte vu'ne. Hagi Ahizana avumo'a haviza hu'ne, na'ankure agra ko ranafa re'ne.

So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Ahizana amanage huno asami'ne, Jeroboamu nenaro'a ru a'negna huno mofavre'amo'ma krima eri'nea zanku kantahi kenaku neanki, kva huo. Hagi esanigenka Nagrama kasamuanke asamio.

But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.

6 Hagi ana a'mo'ma kahante'ma ne-egeno agagema nentahino'a, Ahiza'a ranke huno amanage hu'ne, Jeroboamu nenaroga emarerio. Hagi na'a higenka ru a'negnara hunka neane? Kagrite'ma havizama fore'ma hania nanekeka'a eri'noe.

But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.

7 Hagi vunka negave Jeroboamuna ome asamio, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage hie, na'ankure vahe amu'nompintira kavre'na, Israeli vaheni'are kva manio hu'na hugante'noe.

Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.

8 Hagi kini eri'zana Deviti nagamofo zamazampintira refko hu'na eri kami'noe. Hianagi eri'za ne'ni'a, Deviti'ma hu'neaza hunka kasegeni'a nevaririnka, kagu'areti hunka nagrira namagera nentenka, fatgo kavukava'ma huoma hua avu'avara osu'nane.

I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.

9 Hianagi kote'ma mani'naza maka vahera zamagaterenka kefo avu'avara nehunka, ru anumzantamine golire Bulimakao anenta'ma tro'ma hanazamo Nagrira nazeri narimpahe'ne. Ana hunka kamefi hunami'nane.

But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.

10 Einahu hanku kagri nagapina hazenke'za atrena maka kagripinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vene'nema, kazokzo vahe'ma amne vahe'enena zamahe hana hugahue. Hagi arifama kre fananema hiaza hu'na, Jeroboamu nagamokizmia kre fanane hanugeno, maka fanane hugahaze.

‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].

11 Hagi Jeroboamu naga'ma rankuma agu'afima fri'nazana, kramo'za zamavufaga traga hugahaze. Hagi rankumamofo megi'ama frisazana, namaramimo'za zamavufaga traga hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo ama anankea hu'ne.

[The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’

12 Anage nehuno Ahiza'a amanage huno mago'ane Jeroboamu nenarona asami'ne, Kagrama rankumofo agu'afima kagiama renka ufresankeno'a, ana mofavrekamo'a frigahie.

So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.

13 Ana'ma hanigeno'a, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za zamasunkura hu'za zavira nete'za asentegahaze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu nagapintira agrike mopafina asentegahaze. Na'ankure Jeroboamu nagapina e'ina mofavremoke Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofo avurera knarera hu'neankino atrenige'za azeri so'e hu'za asentegahaze.

All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.

14 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a mago kini ne' azeri otinkeno, Jeroboamu nagara zamahe hana hugahie. Hagi e'i ana zana ama knare meni fore hugahie.

Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!

15 Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a timo varoza eri toretore hiankna huno Israeli vahera zamahegahie. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a knare mopama zamagehemofoma huhampri zmante'nea mopafintira, zamazeri vatitre'nige'za Yufretesi tinkena kaziga mago'mago hu'za manigahaze. Na'ankure Asera a' anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za zamagra retruma re'naza zamo azeri arimpa ahenigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a anara hugahie.

Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.

16 Jeroboamu'a kumi nehuno, Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri kumipi zamante'negu huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera amefi huzamigahie.

Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”

17 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Jeroboamu nenaro'a ete Tirza kumate vuno, non kahama'arema ne-egeno'a ana mofavre'amo'a fri'ne.

Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.

18 Ana'ma higeno'a maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamo'ma kasnampa ne' Ahizama asamigeno'ma hu'nea kante ante'za zamasunkura hu'za zavira nete'za asente'naze.

All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.

19 Hagi Jeroboamu'ma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, Jeroboamu'ma kinima manineno'ma ha'ma nehuno, Israeli vahe'ma kegavama hu'nea agenkea Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

20 Hagi Jeroboamu'a 22'a kafu zage kinia maniteno frige'za afahe'mofoma asente'naza matipi asentazageno, nemofo Nadapu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.

21 Hagi Juda vahe kinia Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamu mani'ne. Hagi Rehoboamu'a 41ni'a kafu nehuno, Juda vahe kinia mani'neankino, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli naga nofipinti huhamprino agima erisga hugahazema hu'nea rankumapina Jerusalemia 17ni'a kafu kinia mani'ne. Hagi Rehoboamu nerera'a Amori akino agi'a Na'ama'e.

Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.

22 Hagi Rehoboamu'ma kinima mani'nea knafina, Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avurera zamafahe'mozama hu'naza kefo avu'avara zamagatere'za kefo zamavu'zmava nehu'za, kumi hu'za Ra Anumzamofona azeri arimpa hazageno kanive rezmante'ne.

The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.

23 Na'ankure havi anumzantaminte'ma mono'ma hu kumatmina agona agona tro hunente'za Asera a' havi anumzamofo amema'a zafarera tro hu'za maka agonafine, maka ranra zafa riga retrurentene'za monora hunte'naze.

They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.

24 Hagi ana mono kumatmimpima monko avu'ava'ma hu veneneramimo'za ana mopafina avite'naze. Hagi ana mopafima mani'nageno Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahenati atre'nea vahe'mofo kasri zamavu'zamava Juda vahe'mo'za zamavariri'za hu'naze.

Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.

25 Hagi Rehoboamu'ma 5fu'a kafuma kinima manigeno'a, Isipi kini ne' Sisaki'a Jerusalemi kumate vahera hara eme huzmante'ne.

When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.

26 Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ene, kini ne'mofo nompintira maka zago'amo'ma marerirfa zantamina eri'ne. Hagi anampintira maka zana eri vaganereno, Solomoni'ma goliretima tro'ma hunte'nea hankoraminena eri vagare'ne.

They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.

27 Hagi ana'ma hutazageno'a kini ne' Rehoboamu'a golire hankoramima eri'za vu'nazarera henka bronsire hankorami tro huno noma'amofo kafante'ma kegavama hu'za nemaniza sondia vahe'tmina zami'ne.

King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.

28 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nontegama nevigeno'a, ana hanko eri'ne'za avre'za vute'za, ete kvama hu'zama nemaniza nontera etere hu'naze.

Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.

29 Hagi Rehoboamuma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, Rehoboamu'ma kinima mani'neno'ma ha'ma nehuno, Juda vahe'ma kegavama hu'nea agenkea Juda kini vahetmimofo agenke'ma krente'naza avontafepi krente'naze.

Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

30 Hagi Rehoboamu'ene Jeroboamukea hara hu vava huke vu'na'e.

There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.

31 Hagi Rehoboamu'ma frige'za, agehe'mofoma asezmante'naza matipi Deviti ran kumapi asente'naze. Hagi nerera'a Amoni akino agi'a Na'ama'e. Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, nemofo Abija agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.

Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
