1 Reis 15

1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father. 4 Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem; 5 because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah. 10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 11 Asa did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, as David his father did. 12 He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron. 14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days. 15 He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying, 19 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."

20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 21 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah. 22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 24 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years. 26 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin. 27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon. 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place. 29 As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite; 30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years. 34 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

Ko Kīngi Āpiama o Hūrā

1 Nā, nō te tekau mā waru o ngā tau o Kīngi Ieropoama tama a Nēpata i kīngi ai a Āpiama ki a Hūrā. 2 E toru ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. Ā, ko te ingoa o tōna whaea ko Maaka, he tamāhine nā Apohārama.

3 Nā, i haere ia i runga i ngā hara katoa i mea ai tōna pāpā i mua atu i a ia; kīhai hoki tōna ngākau i tapatahi ki a Ihowā, ki tōna Atua, kīhai i rite ki te ngākau o tōna tupuna, o Rāwiri. 4 Otiia he whakaaro ki a Rāwiri hōmai ana e Ihowā, e tōna Atua he rama ki a ia i Hiruhārama kia whakaarahia ake ai tāna tama i muri i a ia, kia whakapūmautia ai hoki a Hiruhārama. 5 Mō Rāwiri i mahi tika ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, kīhai i peka kē i ngā mea katoa i whakahaua ai ia i ngā rā katoa i ora ai ia, ko te meatanga anake ki a Uria Hiti.

6 Nā, he whawhai tā Rehopoama rāua ko Ieropoama ki a rāua i ngā rā katoa i ora ai ia. 7 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Āpiama me āna mahi katoa, kāhore ianei i tuhituhia ki te Pukapuka o ngā meatanga o Ngā Rā o Ngā Kīngi o Hūrā? He whawhai hoki tā Āpiama rāua ko Ieropoama ki a rāua. 8 Nā, kua moe a Āpiama ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia ana e rātou ki te pā o Rāwiri. Ā, ko tāna tama, ko Aha te kīngi i muri i a ia.

Ko Kīngi Aha o Hūrā

9 Nā, nō te rua tekau o ngā tau o Ieropoama kīngi o Īharaira i kīngi ai a Aha ki a Hūrā. 10 Ā, e whā tekau mā tahi ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. Ko te ingoa hoki o tōna whaea, ko Maaka, he tamāhine nā Apohārama.

11 Ā, tika tonu te mahi a Aha ki te aroaro o Ihowā, rite tonu ki tā tōna tupuna, ki tā Rāwiri. 12 I peia atu hoki e ia te hunga whakahoroma i te whenua, whakakorea atu ana e ia ngā whakapakoko katoa i hangā e ōna mātua. 13 I whakamutua anō e ia te kuīnitanga o Maaka, o tōna whaea, mōna i hanga whakapakoko wehi hei Āhera; tapatapahia iho hoki e Aha tāna whakapakoko, tahuna ake ki te taha o te awa, o Kitirono.

14 Otiia kīhai i whakakorea ngā wāhi tiketike. He ahakoa rā, i tapatahi te ngākau o Aha ki a Ihowā i ōna rā katoa. 15 I kawea hoki e ia ngā mea i whakatapua e tōna pāpā, me āna mea anō i whakatapu ai, ki te whare o Ihowā, te hiriwa, te kōura, me ngā oko.

16 He whawhai hoki tā Aha ki a Paaha kīngi o Īharaira i ō rāua rā katoa. 17 Nā, ka haere a Paaha kīngi o Īharaira ki Hūrā, ā, hangā ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tētahi e tukua kia haere atu, kia haere mai ki a Aha kīngi o Hūrā.

18 Kātahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te kōura i mahue o ngā taonga o te whare o Ihowā, me ngā taonga o te whare o te kīngi, ā, hoatu ana ki ngā ringa o ngā tāngata; ā, hoatu ana e Kīngi Aha kia kawea ki a Pēneharara tama a Taparimono, tama a Hetiono kīngi o Hīria, i Ramahiku nei tōna kāinga; i mea ia, 19 "He kawenata tā tāua, tā tōku pāpā rāua ko tōu pāpā. Tēnā tāku hākari māu te kawea atu nā, he hiriwa, he kōura. Haere mai whakatakā tāu kawenata ki a Paaha kīngi o Īharaira kia haere atu ai ia i tōku taha."

20 Nā, rongo tonu a Pēneharara ki a Kīngi Aha, ā, ungā ana e ia ngā rangatira o āna ope ki ngā pā o Īharaira, ā, patua iho e ia a Īono, a Rāna, a Apere Petemaaka, me Kinerota katoa, me te whenua katoa o Napatari. 21 Nā, i te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tāna hanga i Rama, ā, noho ana ki Tirita.

22 Kātahi ka karanga nui a Kīngi Aha puta noa i Hūrā; kīhai tētahi i tukua noatia atu; ā, taria atu ana e rātou ngā kōhatu o Rama, me ngā rākau o reira i hangā nei e Paaha, hei hanga mā Kīngi Aha i Kepa o Pineamine, i Mihipa hoki.

23 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga katoa a Aha me āna mahi mārohirohi, me ngā mea katoa i mea ai ia, me ngā pā i hangā e ia, kāhore ianei i tuhituhia ki te Pukapuka o ngā meatanga o Ngā Rā o Ngā Kīngi o Hūrā? Otiia, i tōna koroheketanga i mate ōna waewae. 24 Nā, ka moe a Aha ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki ōna mātua, ki te pā o tōna tupuna, o Rāwiri; ā, ko Iehohāpata, ko tāna tama te kīngi i muri i a ia.

Ko Kīngi Nātapa o Īharaira

25 Nā, nō te rua o ngā tau o Aha, kīngi o Hūrā i kīngi ai a Nātapa tama Ieropoama ki a Īharaira; ā, e rua ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki a Īharaira. 26 Ā, he kino tāna mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowā; i haere hoki ia i te ara o tōna matua, i tōna hara i meinga ai e ia a Īharaira kia hara.

27 Nā, ka whakatupuria he hē mōna e Paaha tama a Āhia o te whare o Ihākara; ā, patua iho ia e Paaha ki Kipetono o ngā Pirihitini; i te whakapae hoki a Nātapa rātou ko Īharaira katoa i Kipetono. 28 Nā, nō te toru o ngā tau o Aha kīngi o Hūrā i patua ai ia e Paaha, ā, ko ia te kīngi i muri i a ia.

29 Ā, kīngi tahanga ia, nā, patua iho e ia te whare katoa o Ieropoama. Kīhai tētahi mea whai manawa o Ieropoama i mahue i a ia, poto rawa te huna; i rite tonu ki tā Ihowā kupu i kōrerotia e tāna pononga, e Āhia Hironi – 30 mō ngā hara i hara ai a Ieropoama, i mea ai i a Īharaira kia hara; mō tāna whakapātaritari i whakapātaritari ai ia i a Ihowā, i te Atua o Īharaira kia riri.

31 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Nātapa me āna mahi katoa, kāhore ianei i tuhituhia ki te Pukapuka o ngā meatanga o Ngā Rā o Ngā Kīngi o Īharaira? 32 He whawhai hoki tā Aha rāua ko Paaha kīngi o Īharaira i ō rāua rā katoa.

Ko Kīngi Paaha o Īharaira

33 Nō te toru o ngā tau o Aha kīngi o Hūrā i kīngi ai a Paaha tama a Āhia ki a Īharaira katoa ki Tirita, e rua tekau mā whā ngā tau i kīngi ai. 34 Ā, he kino tāna mahi i te aroaro o Ihowā, i haere hoki ia i te ara o Ieropoama, i tōna hara i meinga ai e ia a Īharaira kia hara.
