Kings III 16
1 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Ju son of Anani to Baasa, [saying],
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani dhidi ya Baasha, kusema:
2 Forasmuch as I lifted you up from the earth, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their vanities;
“Nilikuinua kutoka mavumbini na kukufanya kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli, lakini ukaenenda katika njia za Yeroboamu na kusababisha watu wangu Israeli kutenda dhambi na kunikasirisha kwa dhambi zao.
3 Behold, I raise up [enemies] after Baasa, and after his house; and I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat.
Basi nitamwangamiza Baasha pamoja na nyumba yake, nami nitaifanya nyumba yako kama ile ya Yeroboamu mwanawe Nebati.
4 Him that dies of Baasa in the city the dogs shall devour, and him that dies of his in the field the birds of the sky shall devour.
Mbwa watawala watu wa Baasha watakaofia mjini na ndege wa angani watajilisha kwa wale watakaofia mashambani.”
5 Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Baasha, aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
6 And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead.
Baasha akalala na baba zake naye akazikwa huko Tirsa. Naye Ela mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
7 And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, [even] all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he struck him.
Zaidi ya hayo, neno la Bwana likamjia Baasha pamoja na nyumba yake kupitia kwa nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani, kwa sababu ya maovu yote aliyokuwa ametenda machoni pa Bwana, akamkasirisha kwa mambo aliyotenda, na kuwa kama nyumba ya Yeroboamu, na pia kwa sababu aliiangamiza.
8 And Ela son of Baasa reigned over Israel two years in Thersa.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na sita wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala huko Tirsa kwa miaka miwili.
9 And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa.
Zimri, mmoja wa maafisa wake, aliyekuwa na amri juu ya nusu ya magari yake ya vita, akafanya hila mbaya dhidi ya Ela. Wakati huo Ela alikuwa Tirsa, akilewa katika nyumba ya Arsa, mtu aliyekuwa msimamizi wa jumba la kifalme huko Tirsa.
10 And Zambri went in and struck him and killed him, and reigned in his stead.
Zimri akaingia, akampiga na kumuua katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda. Kisha Zimri akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
11 And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,
Mara tu alipoanza kutawala na kuketi juu ya kiti cha ufalme, aliua jamaa yote ya Baasha. Hakumwacha mwanaume hata mmoja, akiwa ni ndugu au rafiki.
12 that he struck all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet,
Hivyo Zimri akaangamiza jamaa yote ya Baasha, kulingana na neno la Bwana lililonenwa dhidi ya Baasha kupitia nabii Yehu:
13 for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.
kwa sababu ya dhambi zote Baasha na mwanawe Ela walizokuwa wametenda na wakasababisha Israeli kuzitenda, basi wakamkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli kwa sanamu zao zisizofaa.
14 And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Ela, na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
15 And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel [was] encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri akatawala huko Tirsa siku saba. Jeshi lilikuwa limepiga kambi karibu na Gibethoni, mji wa Wafilisti.
16 And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and struck the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel.
Wakati Waisraeli waliokuwa kambini waliposikia kuwa Zimri alikuwa amefanya hila mbaya dhidi ya mfalme na kumuua, wakamtangaza Omri, jemadari wa jeshi, kuwa mfalme wa Israeli siku iyo hiyo huko kambini.
17 And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa.
Ndipo Omri na Waisraeli wote pamoja naye wakaondoka Gibethoni na kuizingira Tirsa.
18 And it came to pass when Zambri saw that his city was taken, that he goes into the inner chamber of the house of the king, and burnt the king's house over him, and died.
Wakati Zimri alipoona kuwa mji umechukuliwa, alikwenda ndani ya ngome ya jumba la kifalme na kulichoma moto jumba la kifalme na kujiteketeza ndani yake. Kwa hiyo akafa,
19 Because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
kwa sababu ya dhambi alizofanya, akitenda maovu machoni pa Bwana na kuenenda katika njia za Yeroboamu na katika dhambi alizofanya na kusababisha Israeli kuzifanya.
20 And the rest of the history of Zambri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Zimri, na uasi alioutenda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
21 Then the people of Israel divides; half the people goes after Thamni the son of Gonath to make him king; and half the people goes after Ambri.
Ndipo watu wa Israeli wakagawanyika katika makundi mawili, nusu wakamuunga mkono Tibni mwana wa Ginathi ili awe mfalme na nusu nyingine wakamuunga mkono Omri.
22 The people that followed Ambri overpowered the people that followed Thamni son of Gonath; and Thamni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Ambri reigned after Thamni.
Lakini wafuasi wa Omri wakajionyesha wenye nguvu kuliko wale wa Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Hivyo Tibni akafa na Omri akawa mfalme.
23 In the thirty-first year of king Asa, Ambri begins to reign over Israel twelve years: he reigns six years in Thersa.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Omri akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala kwa miaka kumi na miwili, sita kati ya hiyo katika Tirsa.
24 And Ambri bought the mount Semeron of Semer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver; and he built [upon] the mountain, and they called the name of the mountain [on] which he built, after the name of Semer the lord of the mount, Semeron.
Alinunua kilima cha Samaria kutoka kwa Shemeri kwa talanta mbili za fedha na akajenga mji juu ya hicho kilima, akiuita Samaria, kutokana na Shemeri, jina la mmiliki wa kwanza wa kilima hicho.
25 And Ambri did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and wrought wickedly beyond all that were before him.
Lakini Omri akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana na kutenda dhambi kuliko wote waliomtangulia.
26 And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he caused Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel by their vanities.
Akaenenda katika njia zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati na katika dhambi zake, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kutenda, hivyo basi wakamkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli kwa sanamu zao zisizofaa.
27 And the rest of the acts of Ambri, and all that he did, and all his might, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Omri, yale aliyofanya na vitu alivyovifanikisha, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
28 And Ambri slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Achaab his son reigns in his stead.
Omri akalala pamoja na baba zake na akazikwa huko Samaria. Ahabu mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
29 In the second year of Josaphat king of Juda, Achaab son of Ambri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omri akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala Israeli akiwa Samaria kwa miaka ishirini na miwili.
30 And Achaab did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more wickedly than all that were before him.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya maovu zaidi machoni mwa Bwana kuliko yeyote aliyewatangulia.
31 And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, but he took as wife, Jezabel the daughter of Jethebaal king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
Kama vile haikutosha kuishi kama Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, akamwoa Yezebeli binti wa Ethbaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni, naye akaanza kumtumikia Baali na kumwabudu.
32 And he set up an altar to Baal, in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria.
Akajenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya Baali katika hekalu la Baali lile alilolijenga huko Samaria.
33 And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and [to sin against] his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him.
Pia Ahabu akatengeneza nguzo ya Ashera na kufanya mengi ili kumkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kuliko walivyofanya wafalme wote wa Israeli waliomtangulia.
34 And in his days Achiel the Baethelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiron his firstborn, and he set up the doors of it in Segub his younger son, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Joshua the son of Naue.
Katika wakati wa Ahabu, Hieli, Mbetheli, akaijenga upya Yeriko. Aliweka misingi yake kwa gharama ya mzaliwa wake wa kwanza Abiramu, na kuweka malango yake kwa gharama ya mwanawe mdogo Segubu, kulingana na neno la Bwana alilosema kupitia Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
