1 Mootota 15
1 Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat keessa, waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Abiyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
2 innis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatee waggaa sadii ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Maʼakaa ture; isheen intala Abiishaaloom turte.
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
3 Innis cubbuu abbaan isaa isaan dura hojjete hunda hojjete; garaan isaa akka garaan abbaa isaa Daawit ture sana guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif hin kennamne.
And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4 Taʼu illee Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa Daawitiif jedhee akka inni isa dhaaluuf ilma isaaf kaasuu fi Yerusaalem jajjabeessuudhaan Yerusaalem keessatti ibsaa kenneef.
Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
5 Daawit yakka Uuriyaa namicha Heet sana irratti hojjete malee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjechuudhaan bara jireenya isaa guutuu ajajawwan Waaqayyoo eege.
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Bara jireenya Abiyaa hunda keessa Rehooboʼaamii fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
7 Wanni bara bulchiinsa Abiyaan keessa taʼe kan biraa fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamee jira mitii? Abiiyaa fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraanatu ture.
As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 Abiyaanis Abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aasaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
9 Bara mootummaa Yerobiʼaam mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa digdammaffaatti Aasaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe;
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
10 innis waggaa afurtamii tokko Yerusaalemin bulche. Maqaan akkoo isaa Maʼakaa ture; isheen intala Abiishaaloom turte.
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
11 Aasaan akkuma Daawit Abbaan isaa hojjete sana waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12 Inni mana sagadaa kan dhiirota sagaagalanii biyya sanaa balleessee waaqota tolfamoo abbootiin isaa hojjetan hundas barbadeesse.
He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 Akkoo isaa Maʼakaa iyyuu waan isheen fakkii Asheeraa jibbisiisaa tokko tolfatteef iddoo ulfinaa kan isheen akka haadha mootiitti qabaatte sana irra ishee buuse. Aasaan fakkii sana diigee Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gube.
He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 Yoo inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa guutumaan guutuutti balleessuu baate iyyuu bara jireenya isaa guutuu garaan Aasaa Waaqayyoof kennamee ture.
The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
15 Innis meetii fi warqee akkasumas miʼoota innii fi abbaan isaa Waaqaaf addaan baasan gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ni galche.
And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
16 Aasaa fi Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel gidduu bara mootummaa isaanii guutuu waraanatu ture.
Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
17 Baʼishaan mootichi Israaʼel biyya Yihuudaatti duulee akka namni tokko iyyuu daangaa biyya Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessaa hin baane yookaan akka achi hin seenne gochuudhaaf jedhee Raamaa jabeessee ijaare.
Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
18 Aasaanis meetii fi warqee mankuusa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ofii isaa keessatti hafe hunda fudhate. Innis waan kana qondaaltota isaatti imaanaa kennee gara Ben-Hadaad ilma Xabrimoon ilma Heziyoon mooticha Sooriyaa kan Damaasqoo taaʼee bulchaa ture sanaatti isaan erge.
So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
19 Innis, “Akkuma walii galtee kanaan dura abbaa koo fi abbaa kee gidduu ture sanaatti ammas anaa fi si gidduu walii galteen haa jiraatu. Kunoo ani kennaa meetii fi warqee siif ergeera. Akka inni narraa deebiʼuuf dhaqiitii walii galtee Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel wajjin qabdu sana diigi” jedheen.
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
20 Ben-Hadaadis yaada Aasaa Mootichaa fudhatee ajajjuuwwan loltoota isaa magaalaawwan Israaʼelitti duulchise. Innis Iiyoon, Daan, Abeel Beet Maʼaakaa fi Kinereeti hunda Niftaalemin dabalee of jala galfate.
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
21 Baʼishaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Raamaa ijaaruu dhiisee Tiirzaatti gale.
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
22 Aasaan mootichis guutummaa Yihuudaatti ajaja baase; namni tokkos hin hambifamne; isaanis dhagaawwanii fi muka Baʼishaan achitti ittiin hojjechaa ture Raamaadhaa fudhatanii deeman. Aasaa mootichis Beniyaam keessatti Gebaa, akkasumas Miisphaa ittiin ijaarrate.
Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
23 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa hundi, jabinni isaa hundi, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi magaalaawwan inni ijaare kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii? Bara dulluma isaa keessa garuu miilli isaa ni dhukkubsate.
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
24 Ergasii Aasaan abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee magaalaa abbaa isaa magaalaa Daawit keessatti abbootii isaa biratti awwaalame. Yehooshaafaax ilmi isaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
25 Naadaab ilmi Yerobiʼaamis bara Aasaan mootichi Yihuudaa mootii taʼe keessa waggaa lammaffaatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa lama Israaʼelin bulche.
In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
26 Innis karuma abbaa isaa irra deemee cubbuu abbaan isaa hojjetee saba Israaʼelinis hojjechiise sana hojjechuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
27 Utuma Naadaabii fi sabni Israaʼel hundi magaalaa Filisxeemotaa kan Gibetoon jedhamtu marsaa jiranuu Baʼishaan ilmi Ahiiyaa namichi biyya Yisaakor sun Naadaabitti fincilee Gibetoon keessatti dhaʼee isa ajjeese.
Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.
28 Baʼishaanis bara Aasaan mootichi Yihuudaa mootii taʼe keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Naadaabin ajjeesee iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
29 Inni akkuma mootii taʼeen maatii Yerobiʼaam hunda fixe. Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Ahiiyaa namicha Shiilootiin dubbatee ture sanaatti hunda isaanii fixe malee nama hafuura baafatu tokko illee Yerobiʼaamiif hin hambifne.
As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 Kunis sababii cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee saba Israaʼelis cubbuu hojjechiisuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel dheekkamsaaf kakaaseefii dha.
because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 Wantoonni biraa kanneen bara mootummaa Naadaab keessa hojjetamanii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32 Aasaa fi Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel gidduu bara mootummaa isaanii guutuu waraanatu ture.
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
33 Bara Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Baʼishaan ilmi Ahiiyaa Tiirzaa keessatti Israaʼel hunda irratti mootii taʼee waggaa digdamii afur bulche.
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
34 Innis karuma Yerobiʼaam irra deemee cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee saba Israaʼelis hojjechiise sana hojjechuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
