1 Amakhosi 15
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati uAbhiyamu wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.
I KA umikumamawalu o ka makahiki o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, ua alii ae la o Abiama maluna o Iuda.
2 Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMahaka indodakazi kaAbishalomu.
Ekolu makahiki i alii ai oia ma Ierusalema: a o Maaka ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Abisaloma.
3 Wasehamba ezonweni zonke zikayise ayezenze phambi kwakhe, lenhliziyo yakhe yayingaphelelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.
Hele ae la hoi oia ma na hewa a pau o kona makuakane ana i hana'i mamua ona; aole hoi i hemolele kona naau ia Iehova kona Akua, e like me ka naau o Davida kona kupunakane.
4 Kodwa ngenxa kaDavida iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe yamnika isibane eJerusalema, ngokubeka indodana yakhe emva kwakhe, langokuqinisa iJerusalema.
Aka, no Davida, haawi mai o Iehova kona Akua i kukui ia ia ma Ierusalema, e hooku i kana keiki mahope ona, a e hookupaa ia Ierusalema.
5 Ngoba uDavida wenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, kaphambukanga kukho konke eyamlaya khona insuku zonke zempilo yakhe, ngaphandle kwedabeni lukaUriya umHethi.
No ka mea, ua hana iho la o Davida i ka mea pono i na maka o Iehova, aole ia i kapae i kekahi mea ana i kauoha mai ai ia ia i na la a pau o kona ola ana, koe wale no ka mea ia Uria ka Heti.
6 Kwakukhona-ke impi phakathi kukaRehobhowamu loJerobhowamu zonke izinsuku zempilo yakhe.
He kaua hoi iwaena o Rehoboama a me Ieroboama i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
7 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAbhiyamu, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda? Njalo kwaba lempi phakathi kukaAbhiyamu loJerobhowamu.
A o na oihana e ae a Abiama, a me ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke o na oihana a na lii o Iuda. He kaua hoi iwaena o Abiama a me Ieroboama.
8 UAbhiyamu waselala laboyise, bamngcwabela emzini kaDavida. UAsa indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Hiamoe iho la hoi o Abiama me kona mau makua; a kanu ae la lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida. A ua alii ae la o Asa kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
9 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili kaJerobhowamu inkosi yakoIsrayeli uAsa wasesiba yinkosi yakoJuda.
A i ka iwakalua o ka makahiki o Ieroboama ke alii o ka Iseraela, ua alii ae la o Asa, maluna o Iuda.
10 Wasebusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMahaka indodakazi kaAbishalomu.
Hookahi kanaha kumamakahi makahiki i alii ai oia ma Ierusalema; a o Maaka ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Abisaloma.
11 UAsa wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengoDavida uyise.
Hana iho la o Asa i ka mea pono i na maka o Iehova, e like me Davida kona kupuna.
12 Wasusa izinkotshana elizweni, wasusa zonke izithombe oyise ababezenzile.
Lawe ae la hoi oia i na moeaikane, mai loko ae o ka aina, a hemo ia ia na kiiakua a pau a kona makuakane i hana'i.
13 Laye-ke uMahaka unina wamsusa ekubeni yindlovukazi, ngoba wayenze into enengekayo ibe yiAshera; uAsa waseyigamula into yakhe enengekayo, wayitshisela esifuleni iKidroni.
A ua hookaawale ae la oia ia Maaka kona makuwahine i ole ai ia e alii wahine, no ka mea, ua hana oia i kiiakua ma kahi e hoomana'i. Hoopau ae la hoi o Asa i kona kiiakua; puhi ae la hoi oia ia ma ke kahawai Kederona.
14 Kanti indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga; lanxa kunjalo inhliziyo kaAsa yayiphelele kuJehova insuku zakhe zonke.
Aka, aole i hoopauia na wahi kiekie; he hemolele nae ka naau o Asa ia Iehova i kona mau la a pau.
15 Wasengenisa izinto ezehlukanisiweyo zikayise kanye lezakhe izinto ezehlukanisiweyo endlini yeNkosi, isiliva legolide lezitsha.
Lawe mai la hoi oia i na mea a kona kupuna i hoolaa ai, a me na mea ana i hoolaa ai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i ke kala, i ke gula, a me na mea hana.
16 Kwakukhona-ke impi phakathi kukaAsa loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli zonke izinsuku zabo.
He kaua no hoi iwaena o Asa a me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela i na la a pau.
17 UBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli wasesenyuka wamelana loJuda, wakha iRama, ukuze angavumeli muntu ukuphuma lokungena kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda.
Hele ae la o Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, a kukulu ae la ia Rama, i ole e ae oia i kekahi e puka aku a e komo mai paha io Asa la ke alii o Iuda.
18 UAsa wasethatha sonke isiliva legolide okwakusele emagugwini endlu kaJehova lamagugu endlu yenkosi, wakunikela esandleni senceku zakhe; inkosi uAsa yakuthumela kuBenihadadi indodana kaTabirimoni indodana kaHeziyoni, inkosi yeSiriya, owayehlala eDamaseko, esithi:
Lalau iho la hoi o Asa i ke kala a me ke gula a pau e koe ana o ka waiwai o ka hale o Iehova a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, a haawi ae oia ia mau mea i ka lima o kana mau kauwa: a hoouna ae la o Asa ke alii ia lakou io Beneha-dada la ke keiki a Tiberimona, ke keiki a Heziona ke alii o Suria, e noho ana ma Damaseko, i ka i ana,
19 Kulesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe, phakathi kukababa loyihlo; khangela, ngikuthumezela isipho, isiliva legolide. Hamba, yephula isivumelwano sakho loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli, ukuze enyuke asuke kimi.
He berita iwaena o kaua, a iwaena o ko'u makuakane a me kou makuakane: eia hoi ua hoouna aku nei au iou la i ka makana, he kala, a he gula; e hele mai oe e uhaki i kau olelo kuikahi me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, i hele aku oia mai o'u aku nei.
20 UBenihadadi waseyilalela inkosi uAsa, wathuma induna zamabutho ayelawo emelene lemizi yakoIsrayeli, watshaya iIjoni leDani leAbeli-Beti-Mahaka layo yonke iKinerothi lelizwe lonke lakoNafithali.
Hoolohe mai la o Benehadada ia Asa ke alii, a hoouna mai la oia i na luna o kona poe koa e ku e i na kulanakauhale o ka Iseraela, a pepehi iho la ia Iiona, a me Dana, a me Abelabetamaaka, a me Kinerota a pau, a me ka aina a pau o Napetali.
21 Kwasekusithi uBahasha ekuzwa wayekela ukwakha iRama, wahlala eTiriza.
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka lohe ana ae o Baasa, haalele iho la oia i ke kukulu ana ia Rama, a noho no ia ma Tireza.
22 Inkosi uAsa yasisenza isimemezelo kuyo yonke iJuda; kakho owayetshiywe ngaphandle; ukuze basuse amatshe eRama lezigodo zayo, uBahasha ayesakha ngakho. Inkosi uAsa wasesakha ngakho iGeba yakoBhenjamini leMizipa.
Alaila kauoha mai la o Asa ke alii, ma Iuda a puni, aohe mea kaawale; a lawe ae la lakou i na pohaku o Rama, a me na laau ona; a, me ia mau mea i kukulu ai o Asa ke alii ia Geba ma Beniamina, a me Mizepa.
23 Ezinye-ke zazo zonke indaba zikaAsa, lawo wonke amandla akhe, lakho konke akwenzayo, lemizi ayakhayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda? Kodwa esikhathini sobudala bakhe wayelomkhuhlane ezinyaweni.
A o na oihana e ae a pau a Asa, a me kona ikaika a pau, a me ka hana a pau ana i hana'i, a me na kulanakauhale ana i kukulu ai, aole anei i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na alii o Iuda? Aka hoi, i ka wa i elemakule ai oia, he mai kona, ma kona mau kapuwai.
24 UAsa waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa kuboyise emzini kaDavida uyise. UJehoshafathi indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Hiamoe iho la hoi o Asa me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida kona kupuna; a ua alii ae la o Iehosapata ma kona hakahaka.
25 UNadabi indodana kaJerobhowamu wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli ngomnyaka wesibili kaAsa inkosi yakoJuda; wabusa phezu kukaIsrayeli iminyaka emibili.
Hoomaka ae la o Nadaba ke keiki a Ieroboama i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i ka lua o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda, a elua makahiki i alii ai oia maluna o ka Iseraela.
26 Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, wahamba ngendlela kayise, lesonweni sakhe, enza uIsrayeli one ngaso.
Hana hewa ae la oia ma na maka o Iehova, a hele ae la oia ma ka aoao o kona makuakane, a ma na hewa ona i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
27 UBahasha indodana kaAhiya, owendlu kaIsakari, wasemenzela ugobe; uBahasha wamtshaya eGibethoni engeyamaFilisti, lapho uNadabi loIsrayeli wonke bevimbezele iGibethoni.
Kipi ae la hoi ia ia o Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia no ka ohana a Isekara; a pepehi ae la o Baasa ia ia ma Gibetona, no ko Pilisetia; no ka mea, hele kaua ae la o Baasa a me ka Iseraela a pau ia Gibetona;
28 UBahasha wambulala-ke ngomnyaka wesithathu kaAsa inkosi yakoJuda, wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda i pepehi ai o Baasa ia ia, a ua alii ae la oia ma kona hakahaka.
29 Kwasekusithi ekubuseni kwakhe watshaya yonke indlu kaJerobhowamu, katshiyanga loyedwa ophefumulayo kuJerobhowamu, waze wamqeda, njengelizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla senceku yayo uAhiya umShilo.
Eia kekahi, i kona alii ana, pepehi iho la oia i ka ohana a pau a Ieroboama; aole oia i hookoe no Ieroboama i kekahi mea e hanu ana, a pau ia i ka lukuia e ia; e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma ka lima o kana kauwa, o Ahiia no Silo:
30 Ngenxa yezono zikaJerobhowamu azonayo, lowenza uIsrayeli azone, ngentukuthelo yakhe athukuthelisa ngayo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
No na hewa o Ieroboama ana i hana hewa ai, a i hoolilo hoi oia i ka Iseraela e hana hewa ai, i kana hoonaukiuki ana, i hoonaukiuki ai oia ia Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela.
31 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaNadabi, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoIsrayeli?
A o na oihana e ae a Nadaba, a me ka mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke oihana a na alii o ka Iseraela?
32 Njalo kwakulempi phakathi kukaAsa loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli insuku zabo zonke.
He kaua iwaena o Asa a me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela i na la a pau o laua.
33 Ngomnyaka wesithathu kaAsa inkosi yakoJuda uBahasha indodana kaAhiya waba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke eTiriza; iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lane.
I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Asa ke alii o Iuda i hoomaka ai o Baasa ke keiki a Ahiia, i kona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela a pau ma Tireza i na makahiki he iwakalua kumamaha.
34 Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, wahamba ngendlela kaJerobhowamu, lesonweni sakhe, enza uIsrayeli one ngaso.
Hana hewa ae la hoi oia ma na maka o Iehova, a hele ae la hoi ia ma ka aoao o Ieroboama, a ma kona hewa i hoolilo ai oia i ka Iseraela e lawehala.
