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

¹Yô cuakxaklaju chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Israel laj Jeroboam li ralal laj Nabat, nak laj Abiam qui-oc chokß rey aran Jerusalén.

²He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

²Oxib chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Lix naß laj Abiam, aßan lix Maaca, lix rabin laj Abisalom.

³He 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.

³Laj Abiam quixbânu li mâusilal joß quixbânu laj Roboam lix yucuaß. Incßaß quixlokßoni li Kâcuaß chi anchal xchßôl joß quixbânu laj David lix xeßtônil xyucuaß.

⁴Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

⁴Li Kâcuaß Dios incßaß quirisi lix cuanquileb li ralal xcßajol laj David. Quixqßue ban jun li ralal laj Abiam chi oc chokß rey chokß rêkaj re nak tixcol li tenamit Jerusalén. Quixbânu aßan xban nak naxra laj David laj cßanjel chiru.

⁵because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and didn’t turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

⁵Li Kâcuaß quixbânu chi joßcan xban nak laj David quicuan saß tîquilal chiru. Junelic quixbânu li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß toj chalen nak quicam. Caßaj cuiß quimâcob chiru laj Urías laj heteo.

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

⁶Junelic queßpletic chi ribileb rib laj Roboam ut laj Jeroboam toj chalen nak quicam laj Roboam.

⁷The 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.

⁷Ut queßxpleti ajcuiß ribeb laj Abiam ut laj Jeroboam. Chixjunil li quilajxbânu laj Abiam tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Judá.

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

⁸Laj Abiam quicam ut quimukeß saß lix tenamit laj David saß li muklebâl li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß. Ut aß chic laj Asa, li ralal, qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj laj Abiam.

⁹In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

⁹Nak yô junmay chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Israel laj Jeroboam, laj Asa qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá.

¹⁰He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

¹⁰Laj Asa quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén jun roxcßâl chihab. Lix naß, aßan lix Maaca, lix rabin laj Abisalom.

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

¹¹Laj Asa quicuan saß tîquilal chiru li Dios joß quixbânu laj David lix xeßtônil xyucuaß.

¹²He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹²Quirisi saß li tenamit eb li ixk ut eb li cuînk li kßaxal yibru queßxbânu chi ribileb rib re xqßuebal xlokßal lix dioseb li queßxyîb. Ut quirisiheb ajcuiß chixjunil li yîbanbil dios li quilajeßxyîb lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb.

¹³Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

¹³Ut quirisi xcuanquil chokß reina lix Maaca lix naß xban nak quixyîb jun lix dios Asera. Laj Asa quixjor lix dios ut quixcßat chire li haß Cedrón.

¹⁴But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

¹⁴Usta incßaß quixpoß chixjunileb li naßajej li queßxlokßoni cuiß li jalanil dios, abanan laj Asa junelic cuan saß tîquilal chiru li Dios toj chalen nak quicam.

¹⁵He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁵Ut quixqßue cuißchic saß lix templo li Dios li cßaßru terto xtzßak, li oro ut li plata li quixkßaxtesi lix yucuaß re li Kâcuaß, joß ajcuiß li quixkßaxtesi aßan.

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

¹⁶Laj Asa, lix reyeb laj Judá, ut laj Baasa, lix reyeb laj Israel, junelic queßxpleti ribeb chi ribileb rib toj chalen nak queßcam.

¹⁷Baasha 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.

¹⁷Laj Baasa, lix reyeb laj Israel, cô Judá chi pletic. Quixyîb chi châbil li tenamit Ramá re nak mâ ani târûk tâoc ut mâ ani târûk tâêlk riqßuin laj Asa, lix reyeb laj Judá.

¹⁸Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered 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 lived at Damascus, saying,

¹⁸Joßcan nak li rey Asa quixchap li oro, li plata ut chixjunil li terto xtzßak li xocxo saß lix templo li Kâcuaß, ut quixcßam ajcuiß li cuan saß li palacio. Ut quixtakla chirixeb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru re teßxcßam aran Damasco ut teßxsi re laj Ben-adad lix reyeb laj Siria. Laj Ben-adad, aßan li ralal laj Tabrimón. Ut laj Tabrimón, aßan li ralal laj Hezión.

¹⁹“There is a treaty between me and you, 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.”

¹⁹Laj Asa quixtakla xyebal re laj Ben-adad: —Kabânuhak junak li contrato chi kibil kib joß queßxbânu lin yucuaß riqßuin lâ yucuaß. Xintakla li oro ut li plata chokß âcue. Nintzßâma châcuu nak incßaß chic tâqßue xcuanquil li contrato li xabânu riqßuin laj Baasa, lix reyeb laj Israel, re nak incßaß chic toxchßißchßißi, chan laj Asa.

²⁰Ben 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.

²⁰Li rey Ben-adad quixcßul xchßôl li quixye laj Asa. Joßcan nak quixtaklaheb lix soldado joßqueb ajcuiß li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb re nak teßpletik aran Israel. Ut queßnumta saß xbêneb li tenamit Ijón, Dan, Abel-bet-maaca, ut quinumta ajcuiß saß xbêneb chixjunileb li naßajej Cineret joß ajcuiß chixjunil lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Neftalí.

²¹It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

²¹Nak li rey Baasa quirabi resil li cßaßru quicßulman, quixcanab xyîbanquil li tenamit Ramá ut quisukßi cuißchic Tirsa.

²²Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

²²Li rey Asa quixtakla xbokbaleb chixjunileb li cuanqueb Judá ut quixye reheb nak mâ jun tâpaltok. Ut quixtaklaheb aran Ramá chixxocbal li pec ut li cheß li yô chi cßanjelac chiru laj Baasa re xyîbanquil chi châbil li tenamit Ramá. Ut riqßuin aßan li rey Asa quixyîb chi châbil li cuib chi tenamit Mizpa ut Geba, lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Benjamín.

²³Now 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.

²³Chixjunil li quilajxbânu li rey Asa, ut chanru nak quicuan saß xcuanquil, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas, li tzßîbanbil cuiß li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Judá. Ut tzßîbanbil ajcuiß retalileb li tenamit li quixyîb. Nak ac tîx chic, quiyajer nak quirahoß li rok.

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

²⁴Ut laj Asa quicam ut quimukeß saß lix tenamit laj David saß li muklebâl li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß. Ut aß chic laj Josafat, li ralal, qui-oc saß xcuanquil chokß rêkaj.

²⁵Nadab 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.

²⁵Nak yô xcab chihab roquic laj Asa chokß xreyeb laj Judá, laj Nadab li ralal laj Jeroboam qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Israel. Cuib chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil.

²⁶He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

²⁶Laj Nadab quixbânu li mâusilal chiru li Kâcuaß joß quixbânu lix yucuaß nak quicßamoc be chiruheb laj Israel chi mâcobc chiru li Kâcuaß.

²⁷Baasha 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 laying siege to Gibbethon.

²⁷Laj Baasa, li ralal laj Ahías, aßan xcomoneb li ralal xcßajol laj Isacar. Quixcßûb ru chanru nak tixcamsi li rey Nadab. Quixcamsi nak laj Nadab ut lix soldados queßoc chi pletic saß li tenamit Gibetón. Li tenamit Gibetón, aßan xnaßajeb laj filisteo.

²⁸Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

²⁸Laj Nadab quicamsîc nak ac yô rox chihab roquic laj Asa chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Laj Baasa qui-oc chokß xrey eb laj Israel chokß rêkaj laj Nadab.

²⁹It happened that, 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;

²⁹Laj Baasa ticto qui-oc chixcamsinquileb chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam. Quicßulman joß quixye li Dios re li profeta Ahías, Silo xtenamit. Chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam quilajeßcamsîc. Mâ jun chic quicana chi yoßyo.

³⁰for 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.

³⁰Queßcamsîc xban nak laj Jeroboam quixchikß xjoskßil li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel nak quixbânu li mâusilal ut xban nak quixcßameb xbe laj Israel chi mâcobc chiru li Kâcuaß.

³¹Now 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?

³¹Chixjunil li quixbânu li rey Nadab tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas li tzßîbanbil cuiß li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Israel.

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

³²Laj Asa, lix reyeb laj Judá, ut laj Baasa, lix reyeb laj Israel, junelic queßpletic chi ribil ribeb toj chalen nak queßcam.

³³In 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.

³³Nak yô rox chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Asa, laj Baasa li ralal laj Ahías, qui-oc chokß xreyeb chixjunileb laj Israel. Câhib xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil laj Baasa aran Tirsa.Laj Baasa quixbânu li mâusilal chiru li Kâcuaß joß quixbânu laj Jeroboam ut quixcßam xbeheb laj Israel chi mâcobc chiru li Kâcuaß.

³⁴He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

³⁴Laj Baasa quixbânu li mâusilal chiru li Kâcuaß joß quixbânu laj Jeroboam ut quixcßam xbeheb laj Israel chi mâcobc chiru li Kâcuaß.
