Sie Tokosra 15

1 In yac aksingoul oalkosr ma Tokosra Jeroboam el leum lun Israel, Abijah el tokosrala lun Judah,

Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.

2 ac el leum yac tolu in Jerusalem. Nina kial pa Maacah, acn natul Absalom.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

3 El oru pacna kain ma koluk ma papa tumal ah tuh oru, ac el tia arulana inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lal in oana David, papa tumun papa tumal ah.

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 Tusruktu ke sripal David, LEUM GOD lal El tuh sang wen se natul Abijah in tuh leum tokol in Jerusalem, ac in karinganang tuh in oasr misla in acn Jerusalem.

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 LEUM GOD El oru ma inge mweyen David el tuh oru ma El insewowo kac, ac tiana seakos ke ma El sapkin, sayen ma el oru nu sel Uriah, mwet Hit.

because David did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Mweun ma tuh mutawauk inmasrlol Rehoboam ac Jeroboam, orek pacna ke lusen moul lal Abijah.

Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

7 Ac ma nukewa saya ma Abijah el orala, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah].

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 Abijah el misa ac pukpuki in Siti sel David, ac Asa wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.

Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

9 In yac aklongoul ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel, Asa el tokosrala lun Judah,

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

10 ac el leum ke yac angngaul sie in Jerusalem. Nina matu kial pa Maacah, acn natul Absalom.

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa el oru ma akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, oana David, papa matu tumal, el tuh oru.

Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.

12 El lusla liki facl sac mukul ac mutan nukewa su orek kosro in nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac el tolla ma sruloala nukewa ma orekla sin tokosra meet lukel.

He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 El eisla wal lun kasra lukel Maacah, nina matu kial ah, mweyen Maacah el orala ma sruloala fohkfok se in lumahl Asherah, sie god mutan. Asa el kunausla ma sruloala se inge ac esukak ke Infahlfal Kidron.

He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

14 Asa el finne tia kunausla nufon nien alu lun mwet pegan uh, tuh el srakna inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD in moul lal nufon.

But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

15 El likiya in Tempul kufwa nukewa ma papa tumal ah tuh kisakunla nu sin God, weang pac ma orekla ke gold ac silver ke ma el sifacna kisakunla.

He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

16 Tokosra Asa lun Judah, ac tokosra Baasha lun Israel, eltal amweuni ke lusen pacl eltal tokosra.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Baasha el utyak mweuni acn Judah, ac mutawauk in kuhlusya acn Ramah in kosrala inkanek in ilyak ac illa liki acn Judah.

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 Ouinge Tokosra Asa el eis silver ac gold nukewa ma lula in Tempul ac in lohm sin tokosra, ac supwala kutu sin mwet kol lal in us som nu Damascus nu yorol Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria, wen natul Tabrimmon, wen natul Hezion, wi kas inge:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

19 “Lela in oasr kupasr na ku inmasrlok kom, in oana akupasri inmasrlon papa tumuk ac papa tomom. Eis silver ac gold ingan mwe lung luk nu sum. Inge kunausla kupasr lom nu sel Tokosra Baasha lun Israel, tuh elan folokunla mwet mweun lal liki acn sik.”

“Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, 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 Tokosra Benhadad el insese nu ke enenu lal Asa, ac supwala mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun, ac un mwet mweun lalos, in som mweuni siti lun Israel. Elos sruokya acn Ijon, acn Dan, acn Abel Beth Maacah, acn apkuran nu ke Meoa Galilee, ac acn Naphtali nufon.

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 Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Ke Tokosra Baasha el lohng ke ma sikyak inge, el tila poti acn Ramah, ac el som nu Tirzah.

When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

22 Na Tokosra Asa el supwalik sap ku nu in acn Judah nufon tuh mwet nukewa in kasru ac tella nufon eot ac sak ma Baasha el orekmakin in sang kuhlasak acn Ramah — wangin mwet ac tia wi. Asa el sang ma inge in kuhlasak acn Mizpah ac acn Geba. Geba pa sie siti in acn lun Benjamin.

Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Asa el orala, orekma pulaik lal ac siti srisrik ma el kuhlasak, ma inge nukewa simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah]. Tusruktu ke el matuoh, el sukapasla ke sie mas su sikyak ke nial.

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 Asa el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David, ac Jehoshaphat, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.

Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

25 In yac akluo ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Asa in acn Judah, Nadab, wen natul Tokosra Jeroboam, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum ke yac luo.

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 Nadab el orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac kolla pac mwet Israel in oru ma koluk, oana papa tumal el oru meet lukel.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

27 Baasha, wen natul Ahijah in sruf lal Issachar, el pwapa sulal lainul Nadab, ac unilya ke Nadab ac mwet mweun lal elos kuhlusya ac akola in mweuni siti Gibbethon in acn Philistia.

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 besieging Gibbethon.

28 Ma inge sikyak ke yac aktolu in yac in leum lal Tokosra Asa lun Judah. Ouinge Baasha el aolulla Nadab in tokosra lun Israel.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.

29 In pacl se na el tokosrala el mutawauk in onela mwet nukewa in sou lal Jeroboam. In oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, Ahijah mwet palu Shiloh, mwet nukewa in sou lal Jeroboam anwuki, ac tiana sie lula.

As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t 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 Sikyak ouinge mweyen Jeroboam el tuh purakak kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD lun Israel ke ma koluk el orala, ac ke ma koluk ma el kolla mwet Israel in oru.

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 Ma saya nukewa ma Nadab el orala, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].

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 Tokosra Asa lun Judah ac Tokosra Baasha lun Israel eltal amweuni sie sin sie ke lusen na pacl eltal tokosra.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 In yac aktolu ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Asa lun Judah, Baasha, wen natul Ahijah, el tokosrala lun Israel nufon, ac el leum in Tirzah ke yac longoul akosr.

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 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac kolla mwet Israel in oru pac ma koluk, in oana ke Tokosra Jeroboam el oru meet lukel.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
