¹And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

¹[Ny nanjakan'i Abia sy Asa tamin'ny Joda] Ary tamin'ny taona fahavalo ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata, no vao nanjakan'i Abia tamin'ny Joda.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom.

²Telo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma.

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

³Ary nandeha tamin'ny fahotana rehetra nataon-drainy izy, dia izay nataony teo alohany; ary ny fony tsy mba nahitsy tamin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny tahaka ny fon'i Davida rainy.

⁴But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;

⁴Nefa noho ny amin'i Davida dia nomen'i Jehovah Andriamaniny fanilo tany Jerosalema ihany izy, fa natsangany handimby azy ny zanany, sady nampaharitra an'i Jerosalema Izy,

⁵because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite.

⁵satria Davida nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah ka tsy nivily niala tamin'izay nandidiany azy tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany, afa-tsy ilay tamin'i Oria Hetita ihany.

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

⁶Ary niady Rehoboama sy Jeroboama tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.

⁷And 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.

⁷Ary ny tantaran'i Abia sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany ? Ary niady Abia sy Jeroboama

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

⁸Ary Abia lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Asa zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

⁹And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;

⁹Ary tamin'ny taona faharoa-polo nanjakan'i Jeroboama, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan'i Asa tamin'ny Joda.

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

¹⁰Ary iraika amby efa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Imaka, zanakavavin'i Absaloma.

¹¹And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.

¹¹Ary Asa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah toy ny nataon'i Davida rainy.

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

¹²Fa nesoriny tamin'ny tany ny olona izay nanolotena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, sady nariany ny sampy rehetra izay nataon-drainy.

¹³And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.

¹³Ary na dia Imaka reniny aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an'ny Aseraha; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny ka nandoro azy tao an-dohasahan-driaka Kidrona.

¹⁴But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.

¹⁴Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana; nefa nahitsy teo imason'i Jehovah ny fon'i Asa tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.

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

¹⁵Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin'izay nohamasinin'ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.

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

¹⁶Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.

¹⁷And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹⁷Ary Basa, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, niakatra hamely ny Joda, dia nanamboatra an'i Rama mba tsy hisy hahazo hivoaka sy hiditra ho any amin'i Asa, mpanjakan'ny Joda.

¹⁸And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸Ary Asa naka ny volafotsy sy ny volamena rehetra izay sisa tamin'ny rakitry ny tranon'i Jehovah sy tamin'ny rakitry ny tranon ny mpanjaka, ka natolony teo an-tànan'ny mpanompony; ary Asa mpanjaka nampanatitra azy tany amin'i Beni-hadada, zanak'i Tabrimona, zanak'i Heziona, mpanjakan'i Syria, izay nonina tao Damaskosy, ka nanao hoe:

¹⁹There is a league between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father; behold, I send thee a present of silver and gold: go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

¹⁹Aoka hisy fanekena amiko sy aminao toy ny tamin'ny raiko sy ny rainao; koa, indro, mampanatitra volafotsy sy volamena ho fanomezana ho anao aho; andeha, tsoahy ny fanekenao tamin'i Basa, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, mba hialany amiko.

²⁰And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁰Ary Beni-hadada nihaino an'i Asa mpanjaka ka naniraka komandin'ny miaramilany hamely ny tanànan'ny Isiraely, ary namely an'Iona sy Dana sy Abelabeti-maka ary Kinerota rehetra mbamin'ny tanin'ny Naftaly rehetra izy.

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

²¹Ary rehefa ren'i Basa izany, dia nitsahatra tsy nanamboatra an'i Rama intsony izy sady nitoetra tao Tirza.

²²And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²²Ary Asa mpanjaka kosa nampandre ny Joda rehetra (tsy nisy tsy nampandrenesiny); ary dia nesorin'ny olona ny vato sy ny hazo tao Rama, izay naorin'i Basa; ary nentin'i Asa mpanjaka nanamboatra an'i Geban'i Benjamina sy Mizpa kosa izany.

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

²³Ary ny tantaran'i Asa sisa rehetra sy ny heriny rehetra mbamin'izay rehetra nataony ary ny tanàna izay nataony, tsy voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany? Nefa kosa tamin'ny andro fahanterany dia narary tamin'ny tongony izy.

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.

²⁴Ary lasa nodimandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin'ny razany tao an-Tanànan'i Davida rainy izy; ary Josafata zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵[Ny nanjahan'i Nadaba sy Basa sy Elaha sy Zimry ary Omry tamin'ny Isiraely] Ary Nadaba, zanak'i Jeroboama, vao nanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely tamin'ny taona faharoa nanjakan'i Asa, mpanjakan'ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin'ny Isiraely izy.

²⁶And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.

²⁶Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan-drainy sy tamin'ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.

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, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

²⁷Ary Basa, zanak'i Ahia, amin'ny taranak'Isakara, nikomy taminy dia namely azy tao Gibetona, izay an'ny Filistina (fa Nadaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra nanao fahirano an'i Gibetona fahizay).

²⁸And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

²⁸Ary Basa nahafaty azy tamin'ny taona fahatelo nanjakan'i Asa, mpanjakan'ny Joda, ka dia nanjaka nisolo azy.

²⁹And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

²⁹Ary rehefa nanjaka izy, dia namely ny mpianakavin'i Jeroboama rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana ho an'i Jeroboama na dia olona iray akory aza, fa naringany avokoa ireo araka ny tenin'i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an'i Ahia Silonita mpanompony,

³⁰because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.

³⁰noho ny fahotana nataon'i Jeroboama sady nampanotany ny Isiraely tamin'izay nataony nampahatezitra an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

³¹And 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?

³¹Ary ny tantaran'i Nadaba sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely va izany?

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

³²Ary niady Asa sy Basa, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.

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

³³Tamin'ny taona fahatelo nanjakan'i Asa, mpanjakan'ny Joda, no vao nanjakan'i Basa, zanak'i Ahia, tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra tao Tirza; ary mpanjaka efatra amby roa-polo taona izy.Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'i Jeroboama sy tamin'ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.

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

³⁴Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'i Jeroboama sy tamin'ny fahotany izay nampanotany ny Isiraely.
