15 ¶ Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abijam moute wa nan peyi Jida.

Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twazan. Manman l' te rele Maka, se te pitit fi Absalon.

Abijam te lage kò l' nan fè menm bagay ak papa l'. Li pa t' sèvi Seyè a, Bondye li a, ak tout kè li jan David, zansèt li a, te fè.

Men poutèt David, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te bay Abijam yon pitit gason pou te toujou gen yon moun nan ras li ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm apre li. Konsa lavil Jerizalèm va toujou rete kanpe.

Seyè a te fè sa paske David te toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Pandan tout lavi li, li pa t' janm dezobeyi ankenn lòd Seyè a, si ou wete zafè Ouri, moun peyi Et la.

Pandan tout rèy Woboram lan, se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.

Toutan te gen lagè tou ant Abijam ak Jewoboram. Tout lòt bagay Abijam te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.

Lè Abijam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la, Se Asa, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.

¶ Wa Jewoboram t'ap mache sou ventan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl, lè Asa moute wa nan peyi Jida.

10 Li gouvènen pandan karanteyennan lavil Jerizalèm. Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, te grann li.

11 Asa te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou David, zansèt li.

12 Li netwaye peyi a, li mete tout gason ak tout fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo deyò nan peyi a. Li wete tout vye zidòl chèf ki te la anvan l' yo te fè.

13 Li menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon manman larenn yo te ba li nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Astate. Asa kraze estati a, li fè boule l' nan fon Sedwon an.

14 Malgre li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, limenm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan tout lavi li.

15 Li mete nan Tanp lan tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye ansanm ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan limenm li te bay pou Bondye.

16 Pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen chak moun bò pa yo, se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl.

17 wa Bacha anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.

18 Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran tout rès bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te rete nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo lavil Damas bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, pitit gason Tabrimon, pitit pitit Ezyon, ak mesaj sa a:

19 -Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, konsa la blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.

20 wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te voye di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Iyon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl-bèt Maka, tout zòn ki toupre letan Galile a, ak tout pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a.

21 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda ki te plen lavil Rama a, l' ale lavil Tizra.

22 Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida a pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Mispa ak lavil Geba nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo.

23 Tout lòt istwa sou sa wa Asa te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, sou lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Men, lè l' konmanse granmoun, yon maladi nan pye rann li enfim.

24 Lè Asa mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi li nan lavil David la. Se Jozafa, pitit li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.

25 ¶ Wa Asa te gen dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Nadad, pitit gason Jewoboram, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan dezan ase.

26 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Tankou papa l', li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.

27 Bacha, pitit gason Akija, nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moute yon konplo pou touye Nadab. Lè sa a, Nadab ak lame Izrayèl la t'ap sènen lavil Gibetou nan peyi Filisti. Se la Bacha touye Nadab.

28 Sa rive nan twazyèm lanne rèy wa Asa nan peyi Jida. Se konsa Bacha moute wa peyi Izrayèl nan plas Nadab.

29 Rive li rive wa, li touye dènye moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan. Konsa, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Akija, moun lavil Silo, sèvitè Bondye a, li touye tout moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan, li pa kite yonn chape.

30 Sa te rive konsa paske Jewoboram te fè sa ki mal, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache sou li.

31 Tout lòt bagay Nadab te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.

32 Se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida a, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen, chak moun bò pa yo.

33 Wa Asa t'ap mache sou twazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Bacha, pitit gason Akija, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl.

34 Li gouvènen pandan vennkatran nan lavil Tiza. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Tankou Jewoboram, li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye. Li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.

Abijah King of Judah(A)

15 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah[a] became king of Judah, and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah(B) daughter of Abishalom.[b]

He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted(C) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp(D) in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong. For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep(E) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah(F) the Hittite.

There was war(G) between Abijah[c] and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime. As for the other events of Abijah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king.

Asa King of Judah(H)(I)

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah, 10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maakah(J) daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David(K) had done. 12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes(L) from the land and got rid of all the idols(M) his ancestors had made. 13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(N) from her position as queen mother,(O) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(P) and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Although he did not remove(Q) the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed(R) to the Lord all his life. 15 He brought into the temple of the Lord the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(S)

16 There was war(T) between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns. 17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah(U) to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

18 Asa then took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple(V) and of his own palace. He entrusted it to his officials and sent(W) them to Ben-Hadad(X) son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus. 19 “Let there be a treaty(Y) between me and you,” he said, “as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me.”

20 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. He conquered(Z) Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maakah and all Kinnereth in addition to Naphtali. 21 When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah(AA) and withdrew to Tirzah.(AB) 22 Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away from Ramah(AC) the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa(AD) built up Geba(AE) in Benjamin, and also Mizpah.(AF)

23 As for all the other events of Asa’s reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased. 24 Then Asa rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And Jehoshaphat(AG) his son succeeded him as king.

Nadab King of Israel

25 Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 26 He did evil(AH) in the eyes of the Lord, following the ways of his father(AI) and committing the same sin his father had caused Israel to commit.

27 Baasha son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar plotted against him, and he struck him down(AJ) at Gibbethon,(AK) a Philistine town, while Nadab and all Israel were besieging it. 28 Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king.

29 As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family.(AL) He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the Lord given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. 30 This happened because of the sins(AM) Jeroboam had committed and had caused(AN) Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel.

31 As for the other events of Nadab’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals(AO) of the kings of Israel? 32 There was war(AP) between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.

Baasha King of Israel

33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel in Tirzah,(AQ) and he reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did evil(AR) in the eyes of the Lord, following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
