1 Kings 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 At that time Abijah, son of Jeroboam, took sick.	1 ܒܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܟܪܗ ܐܒܝܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ
2 So Jeroboam said to his wife, "Get ready and disguise yourself so that none will recognize you as Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh, where you will find the prophet Ahijah. It was he who predicted my reign over this people.	2 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܩܘܡܝ ܐܫܬܓܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܬܝ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܙܠܝ ܠܟܝ ܠܫܝܠܘ ܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܐܚܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ
3 Take along ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of preserves, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the child."	3 ܘܣܒܝ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܝ ܥܣܪ̈ ܕܠܚܡܐ ܘܟܣ̈ܢܐ ܘܒܓܒܘܓܐ ܕܕܒܫܐ ܘܙܠܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܗܘ ܡܚܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܡܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܛܠܝܐ
4 The wife of Jeroboam obeyed. She made the journey to Shiloh and entered the house of Ahijah who could not see because age had dimmed his sight.	4 ܘܥܒܕܬ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܩܡܬ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܫܝܠܘ ܘܥܠܬ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܚܝܐ ܘܐܚܝܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܡܕܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܩܪ ܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܣܝܒܘܬܗ
5 The LORD had said to Ahijah: "Jeroboam's wife is coming to consult you about her son, for he is sick. This is what you must tell her. When she comes, she will be in disguise."	5 ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܝܐ ܗܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܐܬܝܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܡܢܟ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܘܡܐ ܕܥܐܠܐ ܗܐ ܡܫܬܓܢܝܐ
6 So Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps as she entered the door, said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why are you in disguise? I have been commissioned to give you bitter news.	6 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܐܚܝܐ ܩܠ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܗ ܕܥܐܠܐ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܥܘܠܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܫܬܓܢܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܫܠܝܚ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܩܫ̈ܝܬܐ
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I exalted you from among the people and made you ruler of my people Israel.	7 ܙܠܝ ܘܐܡܪܝ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܪܝܡܬܟ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܥܒܕܬܟ ܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
8 I deprived the house of David of the kingdom and gave it to you. Yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with his whole heart, doing only what pleased me.	8 ܘܨܪܝܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܝܗܒܬ ܠܟ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܘܝܕ ܥܒܕܝ ܕܢܛܪ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܗܠܟ ܒܬܪܝ ܒܟܠܗ ܠܒܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡܝ
9 You have done worse than all who preceded you: you have gone and made for yourself strange gods and molten images to provoke me; but me you have cast behind your back.	9 ܘܐܢܬ ܐܒܐܫܬ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܘܥܒܕܬ ܠܟ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܢܣܝ̈ܟܐ ܠܡܪܓܙܘܬܢܝ ܘܠܝ ܫܕܝܬ ܠܒܣܬܪ ܓܘܫܡܟ
10 Therefore, I am bringing evil upon the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off every male in Jeroboam's line, whether slave or freeman in Israel, and will burn up the house of Jeroboam completely, as though dung were being burned.	10 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܟܠ ܕܬܐܢ ܒܐܣܬܐ ܘܕܐܣܪ ܘܫܪܐ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܒܥܪ ܒܬܪ ܒܝܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܬܒܥܪ̈ܢ ܓܘ̈ܦܢܝ ܟܪܡܐ ܡܐ ܕܓܡܪ ܩܛܦܐ
11 When one of Jeroboam's line dies in the city, dogs will devour him; when one of them dies in the field, he will be devoured by the birds of the sky. For the LORD has spoken!'	11 ܕܢܡܘܬ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܟ̈ܠܒܐ ܘܕܢܡܘܬ ܠܗ ܒܕܒܪܐ ܬܐܟܘܠ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ
12 So leave; go home! As you step inside the city, the child will die,	12 ܘܐܢܬܝ ܩܘܡܝ ܘܙܠܝ ܠܒܝܬܟܝ ܘܡܐ ܕܥܠܝ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܝ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܛܠܝܐ
13 and all Israel will mourn him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's line will be laid in the grave, since in him alone of Jeroboam's house has something pleasing to the LORD, the God of Israel, been found.	13 ܘܢܪܩܕܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܢܩܒܪܘܢܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܢܥܘܠ ܠܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܚܠܦ ܕܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܛܒܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ
14 Today, at this very moment, the LORD will raise up for himself a king of Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam.	14 ܘܢܩܝܡ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ
15 The LORD will strike Israel like a reed tossed about in the water and will pluck out Israel from this good land which he gave their fathers, scattering them beyond the River, because they made sacred poles for themselves and thus provoked the LORD.	15 ܘܢܡܚܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܕ ܩܢܝܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܢܥܩܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܕܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܥܒܪ ܢܗܪܐ ܚܠܦ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚ̈ܠܬܐ ܘܡܪܓܙܝܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ
16 He will give up Israel because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and caused Israel to commit."	16 ܘܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܚ̈ܛܗܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܕܚܛܐ ܘܐܚܛܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ
17 So Jeroboam's wife started back; when she reached Tirzah and crossed the threshold of her house, the child died.	17 ܘܩܡܬ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܘܥܠܬ ܠܬܪܨܐ ܗܝ ܥܐܠܐ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܡܝܬ
18 He was buried with all Israel mourning him, as the LORD had prophesied through his servant the prophet Ahijah.	18 ܘܐܪܩܕܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܩܒܪܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܐܚܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܫܝܠܘܢܝܐ
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, with his warfare and his reign, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.	19 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܦ̈ܬܓܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܘܕܐܬܟܬܫ ܘܕܐܡܠܟ ܗܐ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܣܦܪ ܕܒܪܝܡܝܢ ܕܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
20 The length of Jeroboam's reign was twenty-two years. He rested with his ancestors, and his son Nadab succeeded him as king.	20 ܘܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܘܫܟܒ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܥܡ ܐ̈ܒܗܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܠܟ ܢܕܒ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ
21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city in which, out of all the tribes of Israel, the LORD chose to be honored. His mother was the Ammonite named Naamah.	21 ܘܪܚܒܥܡ ܒܪ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܘܚܕܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܟܕ ܐܡܠܟ ܘܫܒܥܣܪܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܓܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܣܡ ܫܡܗ ܬܡܢ ܘܫܡܐ ܕܐܡܗ ܢܥܡܐ ܥܡܘܢܝܬܐ
22 Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by their sins angered him even more than their fathers had done.	22 ܘܥܒܕ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܕܒܝܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܛܢܘܗܝ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܚ̈ܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܕܚܛܘ
23 They, too, built for themselves high places, pillars, and sacred poles, upon every high hill and under every green tree.	23 ܘܒܢܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܥ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܘܩܝ̈ܡܬܐ ܘܕܚ̈ܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܬܚܝܬ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ ܕܥܒܝܛ
24 There were also cult prostitutes in the land. Judah imitated all the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the Israelites' way.	24 ܘܐܦ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܗ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܘܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.	25 ܘܗܘܐ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܚܡܝܫܝܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܣܠܩ ܫܝܫܩ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ
26 He took everything, including the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the royal palace, as well as all the gold shields made under Solomon.	26 ܘܢܣܒ ܓܙܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܓܙܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܢܣܒ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܣܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ
27 To replace them, King Rehoboam had bronze shields made, which he entrusted to the officers of the guard on duty at the entrance of the royal palace.	27 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܚܠܦܝܗܝܢ ܣܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢ̈ܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܪ̈ܗܛܐ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ
28 Whenever the king visited the temple of the LORD, those on duty would carry the shields, and then return them to the guardroom.	28 ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܥܐܠ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܪ̈ܗܛܐ ܘܡܝܬܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܪ̈ܗܛܐ
29 The rest of the acts of Rehoboam, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.	29 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܦܬ̈ܓܡܘܗܝ ܕܪܚܒܥܡ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܐ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܣܦܪ ܕܒܪܝܡܝܢ ܕܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ
30 There was constant warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.	30 ܘܩܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܠܒܝܬ ܝܘܪܒܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ
31 Rehoboam rested with his ancestors; he was buried with them in the City of David. His mother was the Ammonite named Naamah. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.	31 ܘܫܟܒ ܪܚܒܥܡ ܥܡ ܐ̈ܒܗܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܩܒܪ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܡܠܟ ܐܒܝܐ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ
