1 Kingi 15
1 Na no te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Kingi Ieropoama tama a Nepata i kingi ai a Apiama ki a Hura.
Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
2 E toru nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
3 Na i haere ia i runga i nga hara katoa i mea ai tona papa i mua atu i a ia: kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o tona tupuna, o Rawiri.
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 Otiia he whakaaro ki a Rawiri homai ana e Ihowa, e tona Atua he rama ki a ia i Hiruharama kia whakaarahia ake ai tana tama i muri i a ia, kia whakapumautia ai hoki a Hiruharama:
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 Mo Rawiri i mahi tika ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a kihai i peka ke i nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia, ko te meatanga anake ki a Uria Hiti.
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 Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
(Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
7 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Apiama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? He whawhai hoki ta Apiama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua.
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 Na kua moe a Apiama ki ona matua, a tanumia ana e ratou ki te pa o Rawiri. A ko tana tama, ko Aha te kingi i muri i a ia.
Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
9 Na no te rua tekau o nga tau o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Aha ki a Hura.
Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
10 A e wha tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Maaka, he tamahine na Apoharama.
He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
11 A tika tonu te mahi a Aha ki te aroaro o Ihowa, rite tonu ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather David had done.
12 I peia atu hoki e ia te hunga whakahoroma i te whenua, whakakorea atu ana e ia nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e ona matua.
He expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers had made.
13 I whakamutua ano e ia te kuinitanga o Maaka, o tona whaea, mona i hanga whakapakoko wehi hei Ahera; tapatapahia iho hoki e Aha tana whakapakoko, tahuna ake ki te taha o te awa, o Kitirono.
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 Otiia kihai i whakakorea nga wahi tiketike. He ahakoa ra, i tapatahi te ngakau o Aha ki a Ihowa i ona ra katoa.
Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
15 I kawea hoki e ia nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, me ana mea ano i whakatapu ai, ki te whare o Ihowa, te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko.
He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items that he and his father had dedicated.
16 He whawhai hoki ta Aha ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
17 Na ka haere a Paaha kingi o Iharaira ki Hura, a hanga ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tetahi e tukua kia haere atu, kia haere mai ki a Aha kingi o Hura.
Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
18 Katahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te koura i mahue o nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga tangata: a hoatu ana e Kingi Aha kia kawea ki a Peneharara tama a Taparimono, ta ma a Hetiono kingi o Hiria, i Ramahiku nei tona kainga; i mea ia,
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 He kawenata ta taua, ta toku papa raua ko tou papa: tena taku hakari mau te kawea atu na, he hiriwa, he koura; haere mai whakataka tau kawenata ki a Paaha kingi o Iharaira kia haere atu ai ia i toku taha.
“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 Na rongo tonu a Peneharara ki a Kingi Aha, a unga ana e ia nga rangatira o ana ope ki nga pa o Iharaira, a patua iho e ia a Ihono, a Rana, a Apere Petemaaka, me Kinerota katoa, me te whenua katoa o Napatari.
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 Na, i te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tana hanga i Rama, a noho ana ki Tirita.
When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated to Tirzah.
22 Katahi ka karanga nui a Kingi Aha puta noa i Hura; kihai tetahi i tukua noatia atu: a taria atu ana e ratou nga kohatu o Rama, me nga rakau o reira i hanga nei e Paaha, hei hanga ma Kingi Aha i Kepa o Pineamine, i Mihipa hoki.
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 Na, ko era atu meatanga katoa a Aha me ana mahi marohirohi, me nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me nga pa i hanga e ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura? Otiia i tona koroheketanga i mate ona waewae.
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 Na ka moe a Aha ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko Iehohapata, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.
Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
25 Na no te rua o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Natapa tama a Ieropoama ki a Iharaira; a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki a Iharaira.
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 A he kino tana mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; i haere hoki ia i te ara o tona matua, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
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 Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e Paaha tama a Ahia o te whare o Ihakara; a patua iho ia e Paaha ki Kipetono o nga Pirihitini; i te whakapae hoki a Natapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa i Kipetono.
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 Na, no te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i patua ai ia e Paaha, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.
Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
29 A, kingi tahanga ia, na patua iho e ia te whare katoa o Ieropoama: kihai tetahi mea whai manawa o Ieropoama i mahue i a ia, poto rawa te huna; i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa kupu i korerotia e tana pononga, e Ahia Hironi:
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 Mo nga hara i hara ai a Ieropoama, i mea ai i a Iharaira kia hara; mo tana whakapataritari i whakapataritari ai ia i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira kia riri.
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 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Natapa me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
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 He whawhai hoki ta Aha raua ko Paaha kingi o Iharaira i o raua ra katoa.
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
33 No te toru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Paaha tama a Ahia ki a Iharaira katoa ki Tirita, e rua tekau ma wha nga tau i kingi ai.
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 A he kino tana mahi i te aroaro o Ihowa i haere hoki ia i te ara o Ieropoama, i tona hara i meinga ai e ia a Iharaira kia hara.
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.
