¹Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

¹ Bonkoono Yerobowam Nebat izo koytara jiiri way cindi ahakkanta ra no, Abiyam mo sintin ka may Yahuda ra.

²Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

² A may Urusalima ra jiiri hinza. A nya maa Maaka, Abisalom ize way no.

³And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

³ A na nga baabo kaŋ n'a jin zunubi fondey kulu gana mo. A bina mana kay ka saba Rabbi a Irikoyo jine sanda nga kaayo Dawda bina cine.

⁴Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

⁴ Kulu nda yaadin, Dawda sabbay se Rabbi a Irikoyo n'a no fitilla Urusalima ra, zama nga m'a izo sinji a banda ka Urusalima tabbatandi a se mo.

⁵Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁵ Zama Dawda na haŋ kaŋ ga saba goy te Rabbi jine. A mana kamba ka fay da hay kulu ganayaŋ kaŋ Rabbi n'a lordi nd'a Dawda fundo jirbey kulu ra, kala day Uriya Hitti bora sanni hinne.

⁶And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

⁶ Wongu go no Rehobowam da Yerobowam game ra a fundo jirbey kulu ra.

⁷Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

⁷ Abiyam goy cindey binde, da hay kulu kaŋ a te, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo? Wongu go no Abiyam da Yerobowam game ra.

⁸And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

⁸ Abiyam mo kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji Dawda birno ra. A izo Asa te bonkooni a nango ra.

⁹And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

⁹ Israyla bonkoono Yerobowam jiiri warankanta ra no Asa mo sintin ka may Yahuda boŋ.

¹⁰And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

¹⁰ A may Urusalima ra jiiri waytaaci cindi fo. A kaay waybora maa ga ti Maaka, Abisalom ize way no.

¹¹And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

¹¹ Asa binde na haŋ kaŋ ga saba te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, danga nga kaayo Dawda wano cine.

¹²And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹² A na arkuurey ganandi k'i kaa laabo ra. Toorey kaŋ a kaayey te, a na ngey mo kaa.

¹³And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

¹³ A na nga kaay waybora Maaka kaa koytara kaŋ i n'a daŋ din ra mo, zama waybora na kazaamataray wayboro himandi te, bundu tooro wane. Asa na nga kaayo wane tooro din pati-pati k'a ton Kidron gooro ra.

¹⁴But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

¹⁴ Amma i mana tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ganandi, kulu nda yaadin, Asa bina go timmante Rabbi jine a fundo jirbey kulu ra.

¹⁵And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁵ Jinayey kaŋ a baabo fay waani, da jinay kaŋ nga bumbo fay waani, wura nda nzarfu taasayaŋ, a kand'ey Rabbi windo ra.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

¹⁶ Wongu go no Asa nda Israyla bonkoono Baasa game ra i jirbey me-a-me.

¹⁷And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁷ Israyla bonkoono Baasa na wongu tunandi Yahuda gaa. A na Rama cina mo, zama boro kulu ma si furo wala boro kulu ma si fatta Yahuda bonkoono Asa do.

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸ Saaya din binde Asa na wura nda nzarfu kulu kaŋ cindi sambu Rabbi windo jinay jisiri nango ra, da bonkoono windo mo ra, k'i daŋ nga tamey kambe ra. Bonkoono Asa binde n'i donton Ben-Hadad, Tabrimon ize, Heziyon Suriya bonkoono ize do, kaŋ goono ga goro Damaskos. A ne:

¹⁹There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

¹⁹ «Amaana ma goro in da nin game ra, mate kaŋ a goro ay baaba nda ni baaba game ra. Guna, ay na fooyaŋ samba ni se, wura nda nzarfu. Ma koy ka nin da Israyla bonkoono Baasa game ra amaana feeri, zama a ma fay d'ay.»

²⁰So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁰ Ben-Hadad binde maa bonkoono Asa sanno, ka nga marga wongu nyaŋey mo donton i ma Israyla kwaarey wongu. A na Iyon, da Dan, da Abel-Bayt-Maaka, da Cinnerot kulu da Naftali laabo kulu mo kar.

²¹And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

²¹ A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Baasa maa baaro, kal a fay da Rama cinayaŋ ka goro Tirza ra.

²²Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²² Saaya din binde Asa mo ne i ma fe Yahuda kulu ra -- i mana casu boro kulu gaa -- ka ne i ma Rama tondey da kataakey kulu kaŋ yaŋ Baasa na cinaro te d'a ganandi. Bonkoono Asa n'i daŋ ka Geba da Mizpa cina Benyamin laabo ra.

²³The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²³ Asa goy cindey kulu binde d'a hino kulu, da hay kulu kaŋ a te, da kwaarey kulu kaŋ yaŋ a cina, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo? Amma a zeenay jirbey ra a te ce doori.

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

²⁴ Asa mo kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji nga kaayo Dawda birno ra, nga kaayey banda. A izo Yehosafat te bonkooni a nango ra.

²⁵And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

²⁵ Yerobowam izo Nadab mo sintin ka may Israyla ra Asa mayra Yahuda boŋ jiiri hinkanta. A na Israyla may jiiri hinka.

²⁶And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

²⁶ A na goy laalo te Rabbi jine ka nga baabo fonda nd'a zunubey gana, nango kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te.

²⁷And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.

²⁷ Baasa, Ahiya izo mo, Isakar do haray wane na murteyaŋ zamba soola bonkoono se. Baasa mo n'a kar ka wi Jibbeton ra, kaŋ ga ti Filistancey wano. Zama Nadab da Israyla kulu na wongu gata sinji Jibbeton se, i goono g'a wongu.

²⁸Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

²⁸ Yahuda bonkoono Asa jiiri hinzanta ra no Baasa na Nadab wi, ka te bonkooni a nango ra.

²⁹And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

²⁹ A ciya mo, waato kaŋ a te bonkooni, kal a na Yerobowam dumo kulu kar. A mana fulanzamyankoy naŋ Yerobowam se, baa afolloŋ, amma a n'a halaci Rabbi ciyaŋo kaŋ a salaŋ nga tamo Ahiya, Silo bora me ra din boŋ.

³⁰Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

³⁰ Woodin te Yerobowam zunubey kaŋ a goy din se, da nango kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te, da bine zukuyaŋ se kaŋ a na Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo bina zokoti nd'a.

³¹Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³¹ Nadab goy cindey kulu da hay kulu kaŋ a te, manti i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?

³²And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

³² Wongu go no Asa nda Israyla bonkoono Baasa game ra i jirbey kulu ra.

³³In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

³³ Yahuda bonkoono Asa mayra jiiri hinzanta ra no Ahiya ize Baasa mo sintin ka may Israyla kulu boŋ Tirza ra. A n'i may jiiri waranka cindi taaci.

³⁴And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

³⁴ A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A na Yerobowam fonda d'a zunubey gana, kaŋ do a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te.
