Boqorradii Kowaad 15
1 Haddaba sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad ee Boqor Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad ayaa Abiiyaam boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 Oo saddex sannadood ayuu boqor ku ahaa Yeruusaalem, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Macakaah ina Abiishaaloom.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey dembiyadii uu aabbihiis samayn jiray isaga hortiis oo dhan, oo qalbigiisuna Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah uguma qummanayn sidii qalbigii awowgiis Daa'uud oo kale.
Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
4 Habase yeeshee Daa'uud daraaddiis ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahiis ahu Yeruusaalem ka dhex siiyey laambad inuu isaga dabadiis wiilkiisa dhiso iyo inuu Yeruusaalem adkeeyo aawadeed,
But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
5 maxaa yeelay, Daa'uud wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa, oo cimrigiisii oo dhanna kama uu leexan wax kasta oo uu ku amray, xaalkii Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed oo keliya mooyaane.
Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
6 Oo Rexabcaam iyo Yaaraabcaamna dagaal baa ka dhexeeyey cimrigiisii oo dhanba.
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 Oo Abiiyaam falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammuba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah? Oo Abiiyaam iyo Yaaraabcaamna dagaal baa ka dhexeeyey.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
8 Oo Abiiyaam wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Aasaa.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
9 Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo Yaaraabcaam ahaa sannaddiisii labaatanaad ayaa Aasaa boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah.
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
10 Oo wuxuu Yeruusaalem boqor ka ahaa kow iyo afartan sannadood; oo hooyadiisna magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Macakaah ina Abiishaaloom.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
11 Oo Aasaa wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa sidii uu awowgiis Daa'uud yeelay oo kale.
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 Oo makhnuudyadiina dalka wuu ka eryay, sanamyadii aabbihiis sameeyey oo dhanna wuu wada fogeeyey.
He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
13 Macakaah oo hooyadiis ahaydna boqoradnimadii wuu ka dejiyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay sanam karaahiya ah u samaysay geed Asheeraah, oo Aasaa sanamkeedii wuu jebiyey, wuxuuna ku gubay durdurka Qidroon agtiisa.
He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 Laakiinse meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in; habase yeeshee Aasaa qalbigiisu waa ku qummanaa Rabbiga hortiisa cimrigiisii oo dhanba.
He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
15 Oo gurigii Rabbigana wuxuu soo geliyey alaabtii aabbihiis quduuska ka dhigay iyo alaabtii uu isaga qudhiisu quduuska ka dhigay, waxayna ahayd lacag iyo dahab iyo weelal.
He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
16 Oo cimrigoodii oo dhanna dagaal baa ka dhexeeyey Aasaa iyo Bacshaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 Oo Bacshaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil ayaa dalka Yahuudah ku kacay, oo wuxuu dhisay Raamaah, inuusan qofna u oggolaan inuu ka baxo ama u galo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah.
Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
18 Markaasaa Aasaa qaaday kulli lacagtii iyo dahabkii ku hadhay khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga iyo khasnadihii guriga boqorka oo dhan, oo wuxuu u dhiibay addoommadiisa, oo Boqor Aasaa wuxuu iyagii u diray Benhadad ina Tabrimmoon oo ahaa ina Xesyoon, oo dalka Suuriya boqorka u ahaa oo Dimishaq degganaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
19 Aniga iyo adiga axdi baa inoo dhexeeya, oo aabbahay iyo aabbahaana wuu u dhexayn jiray; haddaba bal eeg, waxaan kuu soo diray hadiyad lacag iyo dahab ah, saas aawadeed tag oo jebi axdiga aad la leedahay boqorka dalka Israa'iil oo Bacshaa ah, ha iga tagee.
“I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
20 Markaasaa Benhadad dhegaystay hadalkii Boqor Aasaa, oo saraakiishii ciidammadiisa ayuu u diray magaalooyinkii dalka Israa'iil, oo waxay dagaal ku dhufteen Ciyoon, iyo Daan, iyo Aabeel Beytmacakaah, iyo Kinnered oo dhan, iyo dalkii reer Naftaali oo dhan.
[So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
21 Kolkii Bacshaa taas maqlay wuu ka tegey Raamaah dhisiddeedii, oo wuxuu degay Tirsaah.
When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
22 Markaasaa Boqor Aasaa wuxuu dalka Yahuudah oo dhan gaadhsiiyey naado ogeysiis ah, oo ninna lagama reebin; oo waxay wada qaadeen dhagxantii iyo alwaaxdii Raamaah ee uu Bacshaa ku dhisayay, kolkaasaa Boqor Aasaa wuxuu ku dhisay Gebac oo ku taal dalka reer Benyaamiin iyo Misfaah.
Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
23 Haddaba Aasaa falimihiisa kale, iyo xooggiisii oo dhan, iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinkii uu dhisay oo dhammuba sow kuma qorna kitaabka taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah? Laakiinse markuu gaboobay wuxuu ka bukooday cagaha.
Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
24 Markaasaa Aasaa dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii awowgiis Daa'uud; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooshaafaad
He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
25 Oo Naadaab oo ahaa ina Yaaraabcaam boqor buu ka noqday dalka Israa'iil sannaddii labaad oo Aasaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah; oo wuxuu dalka Israa'iil boqor ka ahaa laba sannadood.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
26 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ahaa, oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis, iyo dembigiisa uu dadkii Israa'iil dembaajiyey.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
27 Oo waxaa shirqoolay Bacshaa ina Axiiyaah oo ahaa reer Isaakaar, oo Bacshaa isaguu ku dilay Gibbetoon tan ay reer Falastiin lahaayeen, waayo, Naadaab iyo dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammuba waxay weerarayeen Gibbetoon.
[A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
28 Oo isaga Bacshaa wuxuu dilay oo meeshiisii boqor ka noqday sannaddii saddexaad ee Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 Oo haddiiba markuu boqor noqday ayuu wada laayay reerkii Yaaraabcaam oo dhan, oo Yaaraabcaam uma uu dayn qof keliya oo neefsada, laakiinse wuu wada baabbi'iyey, sidii uu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu u soo dhiibay addoonkiisii Axiiyaah kii reer Shiiloh;
As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
30 waayo, waxay saas u noqotay Yaaraabcaam dembiyadiisii uu dembaabay, oo uu dadkii Israa'iilna dembaajiyey, iyo xanaaqii uu ka xanaajiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha dalka Israa'iil.
That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
31 Haddaba Naadaab falimihiisii kale, iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammuba sow kuma qorna kitaabka taariikhda boqorrada dalka Israa'iil?
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 Cimrigood oo dhan dagaal baa ka dhexeeyey Aasaa iyo Bacshaa oo boqor ka ahaa dalka Israa'iil.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 Oo boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Aasaa ahaa sannaddiisii saddexaad ayaa Bacshaa ina Axiiyaah boqor dalka Israa'iil ugu noqday Tirsaah, oo wuxuu boqor ahaa afar iyo labaatan sannadood.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
34 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah, oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis Yaaraabcaam, iyo dembigiisii uu dadkii Israa'iilna dembaajiyey.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
