1 Mpanjaka 15
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, no vao nanjakan’ i Abia tamin’ ny Joda.
Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
2 Telo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma.
He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
3 Ary nandeha tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra nataon-drainy izy, dia izay nataony teo alohany; ary ny fony tsy mba nahitsy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tahaka ny fon’ i Davida rainy.
Abijam committed all the sins his father had before him. He was not wholly dedicated to the Lord his God as his forefather David had been.
4 Nefa noho ny amin’ i Davida dia nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny fanilo tany Jerosalema ihany izy, fa natsangany handimby azy ny zanany, sady nampaharitra an’ i Jerosalema Izy,
Even so, for David's sake, the Lord his God let his descendants to continue to rule like a lamp, a son to rule after him and to make Jerusalem strong.
5 satria Davida nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ka tsy nivily niala tamin’ izay nandidiany azy tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany, afa-tsy ilay tamin’ i Oria Hetita ihany.
For David had done what was right in the Lord's sight, and had not deviated from anything the Lord commanded throughout his lifetime, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Ary niady Rehoboama sy Jeroboama tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
(Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
7 Ary ny tantaran’ i Abia sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany? Ary niady Abia sy Jeroboama
The rest of what happened in Abijam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Abijam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
8 Ary Abia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Asa zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
9 Ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa-polo nanjakan’ i Jeroboama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Asa tamin’ ny Joda.
Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
10 Ary iraika amby efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin’ i Absaloma.
He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
11 Ary Asa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah toy ny nataon’ i Davida rainy.
Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather David had done.
12 Fa nesoriny tamin’ ny tany ny olona izay nanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, sady nariany ny sampy rehetra izay nataon-drainy.
He expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers had made.
13 Ary na dia Imaka reniny aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an’ ny Aseraha; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny ka nandoro azy tao an-dohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
He even dismissed his grandmother Maacah as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting idol. Asa had the idol chopped down and burned in the Kidron Valley.
14 Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; nefa nahitsy teo imason’ i Jehovah ny fon’ i Asa tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
15 Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin’ izay nohamasinin’ ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.
He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items that he and his father had dedicated.
16 Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
17 Ary Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, niakatra hamely ny Joda, dia nanamboatra an’ i Rama mba tsy hisy hahazo hivoaka sy hiditra ho any amin’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
18 Ary Asa naka ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra izay sisa tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon ny mpanjaka, ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpanompony; ary Asa mpanjaka nampanatitra azy tany amin’ i Beni-hadada, zanak’ i Tabrimona, zanak’ i Heziona, mpanjakan’ i Syria, izay nonina tao Damaskosy, ka nanao hoe:
So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and of the royal palace. He handed it over to his servants and sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, along with this message:
19 Aoka hisy fanekena amiko sy aminao toy ny tamin’ ny raiko sy ny rainao; koa, indro, mampanatitra volafotsy sy volamena ho fanomezana ho anao aho; andeha, tsoahy ny fanekenao tamin’ i Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, mba hialany amiko.
“Let us make a treaty between us, just as there was between my father and your father. Look, I've sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will retreat and leave me alone.”
20 Ary Beni-hadada nihaino an’ i Asa mpanjaka ka naniraka komandin’ ny miaramilany hamely ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely, ary namely an’ Iona sy Dana sy Abela-beti-maka ary Kinerota rehetra mbamin’ ny tanin’ ny Naftaly rehetra izy.
Ben-hadad accepted Asa's proposal and sent his army with its commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Kinnereth, including all the land of Naphtali.
21 Ary rehefa ren’ i Basa izany, dia nitsahatra tsy nanamboatra an’ i Rama intsony izy sady nitoetra tao Tirza.
When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated to Tirzah.
22 Ary Asa mpanjaka kosa nampandre ny Joda rehetra (tsy nisy tsy nampandrenesiny); ary dia nesorin’ ny olona ny vato sy ny hazo tao Rama, izay naorin’ i Basa; ary nentin’ i Asa mpanjaka nanamboatra an’ i Geban’ i Benjamina sy Mizpa kosa izany.
Then King Asa issued a proclamation throughout all Judah, with no exception. The people obeyed, and carried away the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building up Ramah. King Asa used these building materials to strengthen Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
23 Ary ny tantaran’ i Asa sisa rehetra sy ny heriny rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny tanàna izay nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany? Nefa kosa tamin’ ny andro fahanterany dia narary tamin’ ny tongony izy.
The rest of what happened in Asa's reign, all his achievements, everything that he did, and the towns he built, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But when he grew old he had disease in his feet.
24 Ary lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Josafata zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
25 Ary Nadaba, zanak’ i Jeroboama, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Israel for two years.
26 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan-drainy sy tamin’ ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He followed the ways of his father and committed the same sins his father had made Israel commit.
27 Ary Basa, zanak’ i Ahia, amin’ ny taranak’ Isakara, nikomy taminy dia namely azy tao Gibetona, izay an’ ny Filistina (fa Nadaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra nanao fahirano an’ i Gibetona fahizay).
Baasha, son of Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar, plotted a rebellion against him. Baasha murdered Nadab at the Philistine town of Gibbethon while Nadab and the whole Israelite army were besieging it.
28 Ary Basa nahafaty azy tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka dia nanjaka nisolo azy.
Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
29 Ary rehefa nanjaka izy, dia namely ny mpianakavin’ i Jeroboama rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana ho an’ i Jeroboama na dia olona iray akory aza, fa naringany avokoa ireo araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Ahia Silonita mpanompony,
As soon as he became king he killed all the rest of Jeroboam's family. He did not leave any of Jeroboam's descendants alive—he destroyed them all, as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30 noho ny fahotana nataon’ i Jeroboama sady nampanotany ny Isiraely tamin’ izay nataony nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had made Israel commit, and because he had made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
31 Ary ny tantaran’ i Nadaba sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
The rest of what happened in Nadab's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
32 Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
33 Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Basa, zanak’ i Ahia, tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tao Tirza; ary mpanjaka efatra amby roa-polo taona izy.
Baasha, son of Ahijah, became king over all of Israel in the third year of the reign of King Asa in Judah. Baasha reigned in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
34 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama sy tamin’ ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
Baasha did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin, which he had made Israel commit.
