1 Kingi 14
1 I taua wa ka turorotia a Apia tama a Ieropoama.
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
2 Na ka mea a Ieropoama ki tana wahine, Tena, whakatika, whakareretia ketia tou ahua, kei mohiotia ko te wahine koe a Ieropoama; ka haere ki Hiro, kei reira a Ahia poropiti, nana nei te ki ko ahau hei kingi mo tenei iwi.
and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.
3 A ka mau koe i tou ringa kia tekau nga taro, me etahi keke, me tetahi pounamu honi, ka haere ki a ia: mana e korero ki a koe, ka pehea ranei te tamaiti.
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
4 Na, pera tonu te wahine a Ieropoama, whakatika ana, haere ana ki Hiro, tae tonu atu ki te whare o Ahia. Na kihai i ahei i a Ahia te titiro, kua maro hoki ona kanohi, kua koroheketia hoki ia.
Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
5 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Ahia, Nana, ko te wahine tenei a Ieropoama te haere mai nei ki te rapu kupu i a koe mo tana tama; e mate ana hoki: kia penei tau ki atu ki a ia; no te mea, ina tae mai ia, tera ia e whakaahua i a ia ki tetahi wahine ke.
But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”
6 Heoi, i te rongonga o Ahia i te haruru o ona waewae, i a ia i tomo mai ai i te kuwaha, ka mea ia, Tomo mai, e te wahine a Ieropoama: he aha koe i whakaahua ke ai i a koe? he pakeke hoki nga korero i tonoa mai ai ahau ki a koe.
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
7 Haere, korero ki a Ieropoama, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Na kua whakanuia na koe e ahau i roto i te iwi, kua meinga hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira,
Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
8 A haea ana e ahau te kingitanga i te whare o Rawiri, hoatu ana ki a koe: heoi kihai koe i rite ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, i pupuri nei i aku whakahau, a whakapaua ana tona ngakau ki te whai i ahau, a ko te tika anake hei mahi mana ki toku aroa ro;
I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
9 Otiia hira ake te kino o au mahi i a te katoa i mua atu i a koe: i haere hoki koe, i hanga i etahi atua ke mau, me nga whakapakoko whakarewa, hei whakapataritari i ahau, a whiua ana ahau e koe ki muri i a koe, ki tou tuara.
You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.
10 Na reira ka hoatu e ahau he kino ki runga i te whare o Ieropoama, a ka hautopea atu e ahau nga tamariki tane katoa i a Ieropoama, te hunga o Iharaira i tutakina ki roto, i mahue ranei ki waho, a ka tahia rawatia atu te whare o Ieropoama, ka pera tia me te paru e tahia ana e te tangata, a poto noa.
Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
11 Ko te hunga o Ieropoama e mate ki te pa ma nga kuri e kai; ko nga mea hoki e mate ki te parae ma nga manu o te rangi e kai; he mea ki mai hoki tenei na Ihowa.
Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’
12 Na reira whakatika koe, haere ki tou whare: a kia tomo ou waewae ki te pa, ka mate te tamaiti.
As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
13 A ma Iharaira katoa ia e tangi, ma ratou ia e tanu; ko ia anake hoki o Ieropoama e tae ki te urupa, no te mea nona tetahi mea pai ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira i kitea i roto i te whare o Ieropoama.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Ka ara ano hoki i a Ihowa he kingi mana mo Iharaira, hei hautope i te whare o Ieropoama, i taua ra: he aha ra? aianei nei ano.
Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
15 Ka patua hoki a Iharaira e Ihowa, ka peratia me te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana i roto i te wai, a ka hutia atu a Iharaira i tenei whenua pai i hoatu nei e ia ki o ratou matua; a ka titaria ki tawahi o te awa; mo ratou i hanga i a ratou Aherimi hei whakapataritari i a Ihowa.
For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
16 Na ka tukua atu a Iharaira e ia mo nga hara o Ieropoama i hara nei ia, i hara ai hoki a Iharaira.
So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
17 Na whakatika ana te wahine a Ieropoama, haere ana, kua tae ki Tirita: a, tae kau ia ki te paepae o te whare, ka mate te tamaiti.
Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
18 Na tanumia ana ia e Iharaira katoa, a tangihia iho; ko ta Ihowa kupu tera i korero ai, ara ta tana pononga, ta Ahia poropiti.
And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Na, ko era meatanga a Ieropoama, ko ana whawhai, ko tona kingitanga, koia tena e mau na i te pukapuka o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.
As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20 Na, ko nga ra i kingi ai a Ieropoama, e rua tekau ma rua tau, a moe ana ia ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Natapa te kingi i muri i a ia.
And the length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.
21 Na ko Rehopoama tama a Horomona te kingi o Hura. E wha tekau ma tahi nga tau o Rehopoama i tona meatanga hei kingi; a kotahi tekau ma whitu ona tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiri e Ihowa i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira hei wai hotanga iho mo tona ingoa. Ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni.
Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
22 Na ka kino te mahi a Hura ki te titiro a Ihowa, a whakapataritaritia ana ia e ratou ki o ratou hara i hara ai ratou, a hae iho ia; nui atu hoki i a o ratou matua katoa i mea ai.
And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
23 I hanga hoki e ratou etahi wahi tiketike ma ratou, me etahi pou, me etahi Aherimi, ki nga puke teitei katoa, ki raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa.
They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 I taua whenua ano etahi e whakahoroma ana, e mahi ana i nga mea whakarihariha katoa a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
25 Na i te rima o nga tau o Kingi Rehopoama ka tae mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ka whakapaea a Hiruharama:
In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
26 A taria atu ana e ia nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi; i mauria katoatia atu e ia: a i mauria atu hoki e ia nga pukupuku koura katoa i hanga e Horomona.
He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
27 Na hanga ana e Kingi Rehopoama etahi pukupuku parahi hei whakakapi mo era, a tukua ana e ia ki nga ringa o nga rangatira o nga kaitiaki i tiaki nei i te tatau o te whare o te kingi.
Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
28 A i o te kingi haerenga ki te whare o Ihowa, ka maua aua mea e nga kaitiaki, ka whakahokia ano e ratou ki te whare o nga kaitiaki.
And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
29 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Rehopoama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
30 A he whawhai tonu ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i o raua ra katoa.
There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
31 Na ka moe a Rehopoama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni. A ko Apiama, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
