1 Kings 15Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Abijah, King of Judah 15 Abijah became the new king of Judah during the 18th year that Jeroboam son of Nebat ruled Israel. 2 Abijah ruled in Jerusalem for three years. His mother’s name was Maacah. She was Absalom’s daughter. 3 He did all the same sins that his father before him had done. Abijah was not faithful to the Lord his God. In this way he was not like his grandfather, David. 4 But for David’s sake, the Lord gave Abijah a kingdom in Jerusalem and allowed him to have a son. He also kept Jerusalem safe. 5 David had always done what the Lord said was right. He had always obeyed his commands. The only time David did not obey the Lord was when he sinned against Uriah the Hittite. 6 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always fighting against each other. 7 The rest of what Abijah did is written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam during the whole time that Abijah was king. 8 When Abijah died, he was buried in the City of David. Abijah’s son Asa became the new king after him. Asa, King of Judah 9 During Jeroboam’s 20th year as king over Israel, Asa became king of Judah. 10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah, and she was the daughter of Absalom. 11 Asa did what the Lord said is right, as his ancestor David did. 12 During Asa’s time there were men who served other gods by selling their bodies for sex. Asa forced them to leave the country. He took away the idols that his ancestors had made. 13 King Asa also took away the right of his mother Maacah to be queen mother. He did this because she had set up one of those awful Asherah poles. Asa cut down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Asa did not destroy the high places, even though he was faithful to the Lord all his life. 15 Asa and his father had given some special gifts to God. Asa put these gifts of gold, silver, and other things in the Lord’s Temple. 16 The whole time that King Asa was king of Judah, he fought a war against King Baasha of Israel. 17 Once Baasha attacked Judah and then built up the city of Ramah to keep Asa from leaving Judah on any kind of military campaign. 18 So Asa took gold and silver from the treasuries of the Lord’s Temple and the king’s palace. He gave it to his officials and sent them to King Ben-Hadad of Aram. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon. Tabrimmon was the son of Hezion. Damascus was Ben-Hadad’s capital city. 19 Asa sent this message: “My father and your father had a peace agreement. Now I want to make a peace agreement with you. I am sending you this gift of gold and silver. Please break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel and make him leave us alone.” 20 King Ben-Hadad made the agreement with King Asa and sent his army to fight against the Israelite towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, the towns near Lake Galilee, and the area of Naphtali. 21 When Baasha heard about these attacks, he stopped building up Ramah and went back to Tirzah. 22 Then King Asa gave an order to all the men in Judah. Everyone had to help. They had to go to Ramah and carry out all the stone and wood that Baasha was using to build up the city. They carried the material to Geba in Benjamin and to Mizpah and used it to strengthen those two cities. 23 All the other things about Asa—the great things he did and the cities he built—are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah. When Asa became old, his feet became infected. 24 He died and was buried in the City of David, his ancestor. Then Asa’s son Jehoshaphat became the new king after him. Nadab, King of Israel 25 During Asa’s second year as king of Judah, Jeroboam’s son Nadab became king of Israel. Nadab ruled over Israel for two years. 26 He did what the Lord said was wrong. He sinned just as his father Jeroboam did when he caused the Israelites to sin. 27 Baasha was the son of Ahijah. They were from the tribe of Issachar. Baasha made a plan to kill King Nadab. Nadab and all Israel were fighting against the Philistine town of Gibbethon. And that is where Baasha killed Nadab. 28 This happened during Asa’s third year as king of Judah. So Baasha became the next king of Israel. Baasha, King of Israel 29 When Baasha became the new king, he killed everyone in Jeroboam’s family. He left no one in Jeroboam’s family alive. This happened just as the Lord said it would when he spoke through his servant Ahijah at Shiloh. 30 This happened because King Jeroboam had committed many sins and had caused the Israelites to sin. This made the Lord, the God of Israel, very angry. 31 The other things that Nadab did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Israel. 32 All during the time that Baasha ruled over Israel, he was fighting wars against King Asa of Judah. 33 Ahijah’s son Baasha became king of Israel during the third year that Asa ruled over Judah. Baasha ruled in Tirzah for 24 years, 34 but he did what the Lord said was wrong. He did the same sins that Jeroboam had done that caused the Israelites to sin.

1 राजा 15 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) यहूदाका राजा अबियाम 15 अबियाम यहूदाका नयाँ राजा भए। नाबातका छोरा यारोबामले इस्राएलमा शासन गर्दा अठाह्रौं बर्षमा यस्तो भयो। 2 अबियामले यरूशलेममा तीन बर्ष शासन गरे। उनकी आमाको नाउँ माका थियो। तिनी अब्शालोमकी छोरी थिइन्। 3 उनले त्यस्तै सबै पापका कामहरू गरे जस्तो उनका पिताले गरेका थिए। अबियाम परमप्रभु आफ्नो परमेश्वर प्रति विश्वासी थिएनन्। यसकारण उनी आफ्नो हजूरबा दाऊद जस्तो विश्वासी थिएनन्। 4 दाऊदको खातिर परमप्रभुले उसलाई एउटा सन्तान यरूशलेमा दिनुभयो। परमप्रभुले दाऊदका सन्तानलाई यरूशलेममाथि शासन गर्न दिनुभयो अनि यसलाई रक्षा गर्ने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नु भयो। 5 दाऊदले सधैँ नै सही काम गरे जो परमप्रभुले चाहानु हुन्थ्यो। उनले सधैँ नै परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गरे। एक पटक दाऊदले परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गरेनन् जुन समयमा दाऊदले हित्ती उरीयाहको विरोधमा पाप गरेका थिए। 6 रहबाम र यारोबामको बिचमा युद्ध अबियामको जीवन भरी नै चलिरह्यो। 7 अबियामले जे काम गरे सबै नै यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। अबियाम राजा भएको समयमा अबियाम र यरोबामबीच युद्ध भइरह्यो। 8 जब अबियामको मृत्यु भयो उसलाई दाऊदको शहरमा गाडियो। अबियामको छोरा आसा नयाँ राजा भए। यहूदाका राजा आसा 9 इस्राएलमा यारोबाम राजा भएको बिसौं बर्षमा आसा यहूदाका राजा भए। 10 आसाले यरूशलेममा 41 बर्ष शासन गरे। उनकी हजूरआमाको नाउँ “माका” थियो। अनि “माका” अब्शालोमकी छोरी थिइन्। 11 आसाले आफ्ना पिता-पुर्खा दाऊदले गरे जस्तैं परमप्रभुले जे स्वीकृत गर्नु भएको थियो त्यो कामहरू मात्र गरे। 12 त्यस समयमा यस्ता मानिसहरू थिए जो आफ्नो शरीर यौनका लागि बेचेर अरू देवताहरूको सेवा गर्दथे। आसाले ती मानिसहरूलाई देश छोड्न वाध्य गराए। आसाले ती मूर्तिहरू पनि हटाए जो उनका पुर्खाहरूले बनाएका थिए। 13 आसाले उसको आमा माकालाई पनि रानीको पदबाट हटाईदिए। माकाले अशेरा देवीको पूजा गर्न घृणित खाम्बाहरू बनाएकी थिइन्। आसाले ती खाम्बाहरू ढालिदिए अनि तिनीहरूलाई किदरोन बेंसीमा जलाईदिए। 14 उसले अग्ला ठाउँको पूजास्थानहरू भत्काएनन् तर उनी आफ्नो जीवनभरी परमप्रभु प्रति सम्पूर्ण हृदयले विश्वासी रहे। 15 आसा र उनका पिताले परमेश्वरलाई केही चीजहरू दिए। तिनीहरूले सुन, चाँदी र अरू चीजहरूको उपहार दिए। आसाले ती सबै चीजहरू मन्दिरमा राखे। 16 राजा आसा यहूदाका राजा भएको समयमा उनी सधैँ इस्राएलका राजा बाशाको विरोधमा लडिरहेको हुन्थे। 17 इस्राएलका राजा बाशा यहूदाको विरूद्धमा लडे। बाशाले उसका मानिसहरूलाई आसाको देश यहूदा जाने देखि रोक्न चाहन्थे। यसकारण उनले रामा शहरलाई साह्रै सुदृढ बनाए। 18 यसकारण आसाले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर अनि राजाको महलबाट सबै चाँदी र सुन निकाले। उनले सुन-चाँदी आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई दिए अनि तिनीहरूलाई अरामका राजा बेनहदद कहाँपठाए। बेनहदद तब्रिमोनका छोरा थिए। तब्रिमोन हेज्योनका छोरा थिए। दमिशक बेनहददको राजधानी शहर थियो। 19 आसाले यो संदेश पठाए, “मेरा पिता र तिम्रा पिता माझ शान्ति सम्झौता भएको थियो। अहिले म तिमीसित शान्ति सम्झौता गर्न चाहन्छु। म तिम्रो लागि सुन-चाँदीको उपहार पठाइरहेको छु। इस्राएलका राजा बाशासित कृपया शान्ति सम्झौता भंग गर्नुहोस् जसले गर्दा ऊ मेरो देशबाट बाहिर जानेछ अनि हामीलाई अलग छोड्नेछ।” 20 राजा बेनहददले राजा आसासँग सम्झौता गरे। तिनले उसको सेनापतिहरू अनि सेनाहरू इस्राएली शहरहरू इयोन, दान, आबेल-बेतमाका, गलील पोखरीको वरिपरिका शहर अनि नप्तालीका इलाकामा लड्न पठाए। 21 बाशाले यी आक्रामणको बारेमा सुने। यसकारण उनले रामालाई सुदृढ बनाउन छोडिदिए। उनले त्यो शहर त्याग गरे अनि तिर्सातिर फर्किए। 22 तब राजा आसाले यहूदाका जम्मै मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए। कसैलाई पनि माफी भएन। तिनीहरू रामा गए अनि सबै ढुङ्गा र काठहरू बोके जसद्वारा बाशा त्यो शहरलाई सुदृढ बनाउँदै थिए। तिनीहरूले ती सामानहरू बिन्यामीनको भूमिमा गेबा अनि मिस्पा पुर्याए। तब राजा आसाले ती दुइ शहरहरूलाई अझै दरिलो बनाए। 23 राजा आसाले गरेका त्यो प्रत्येक कुरा उसको सैनिक शक्तिको विषयमा अनि उसले स्थापित गरेका त्यो शहरहरू यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। जब आसा बूढा भए, उनी कुँजा भएका थियो। 24 तिनी मरे अनि उनलाई उनका पुर्खा दाऊदको शहरमा गाडियो। तब आसाका छोरा यहोशापात उनीपछि नयाँ राजा भए। इस्राएलका राजा नादाब 25 आसाको शासनकालको दोस्रो बर्षमा यारोबामका छोरा नादाब इस्राएलका राजा भए। नादाबले इस्राएलमा दुइ बर्ष शासन गरे। 26 नादाबले परमप्रभुले जे नराम्रो सम्झे त्यही गरे। उनले पापका कामहरू त्यसरी गरे जसरी उनका पिता यारोबामले गरेका थिए। यारोबामले पनि इस्राएल मानिसहरूलाई पाप गर्न लगाए। 27 बाशा अहियाहका छोरा थिए। तिनीहरू इस्साकार कुस समूहका थिए। बाशाले राजा नादाबलाई मार्ने योजना बनाए। नादाबको शासनकालमा सम्पूर्ण इस्राएल गिब्बतोन शहर को विरूद्ध लडिरहेको थियो। यो एउटा पलिश्तीहरूको शहर थियो। त्यस ठाउँमा बाशाले नादाबलाई मारे। 28 आसा यहूदाका राजा भएको समय तेस्रो बर्षमा यो घटना भयो। अनि आशा इस्राएलका अर्का राजा भए। इस्राएलका राजा बाशा 29 बाशा जब नयाँ राजा भए, उनले यारोबामको परिवारको प्रत्येक सदस्यलाई मारे। बाशाले यारोबामको परिवारको कसैलाई पनि जिउँदो छोडेनन्। परमप्रभुले जसरी हुनुपर्छ भन्नुभएको थियो यो घट्ना त्यसरी नै भयो। परमप्रभुले शीलोबाट आफ्नो सेवक अहियाह मार्फत भन्नुभएको थियो। 30 यस्तो भयो किन यारोबामले धेरै पापका कामहरू गरेका थिए। अनि यारोबामले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई धेरै पाप गर्न लगाए। यारोबामले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई रीस उठाए। 31 अरू कार्यहरू जे जति नादाबले गरे इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। 32 बाशाले इस्राएलमा शासन गरेको समयमा उनी यहूदाका राजा आसाको विरोधमा युद्ध गरिरहेकाथिए। 33 आसाले यहूदामा शासन गरेको तेस्रो बर्षमा अहियाहका छोरा बाशा इस्राएलका राजा भए। बाशाले तिर्सामा 24 बर्ष शासन गरे। 34 तर बाशाले त्यही सब कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले भूल कामहरू थिए भनि भनेको थियो। उनले पनि ती पापहरू गरे जो यारोबामले गरेको थियो। यारोबामले पनि इस्राएलीहरूलाई पाप गर्न लगाए।
