Kings IV 9
1 And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this cruse of oil in your hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
Nabii Elisha akamwita mtu mmoja kutoka kwa wana wa manabii na kumwambia, “Jikaze viuno, uichukue hii chupa ya mafuta, na uende Ramoth-Gileadi.
2 And you shall enter there, and shall see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shall go in and make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and shall bring him into a secret chamber.
Ukifika huko, mtafute Yehu mwana wa Yehoshafati, mwana wa Nimshi. Enda kwake, umtenge na wenzake, na umpeleke katika chumba cha ndani.
3 And you shall take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say you, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you king over Israel: and you shall open the door, and flee, and not wait.
Kisha chukua hii chupa na umimine mafuta juu ya kichwa chake, nawe utangaze, ‘Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: Ninakutia mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya Israeli.’ Kisha ufungue mlango na ukimbie; usikawie!”
4 And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
Basi yule kijana nabii akaenda Ramoth-Gileadi.
5 And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to you, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
Wakati alipofika, akawakuta maafisa wa jeshi wameketi pamoja, akasema, “Nina ujumbe wako, ee jemadari.” Yehu akauliza, “Kwa yupi miongoni mwetu?” Akamjibu, “Kwako wewe, jemadari.”
6 And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed you to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
Yehu akainuka na kuingia ndani ya nyumba. Ndipo yule nabii akamimina mafuta juu ya kichwa cha Yehu na kutangaza, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: ‘Ninakutia mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya watu wa Bwana, yaani Israeli.
7 And you shall utterly destroy the house of Achaab your master from before me, and shall avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
Inakupasa uiangamize nyumba ya bwana wako Ahabu, nami nitalipiza kisasi cha damu ya watumishi wangu manabii na damu ya watumishi wote wa Bwana iliyomwagwa na Yezebeli.
8 and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and you shall utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
Nyumba yote ya Ahabu itaangamia. Nitamkatilia mbali kila mzaliwa wa kiume wa Ahabu katika Israeli, aliye mtumwa ama aliye huru.
9 And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
Nitaifanya nyumba ya Ahabu kuwa kama ile nyumba ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, na kama ile nyumba ya Baasha mwana wa Ahiya.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
Kuhusu Yezebeli, mbwa watamla kwenye kiwanja huko Yezreeli, wala hakuna mtu atakayemzika.’” Kisha akafungua mlango na kukimbia.
11 And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
Yehu alipotoka nje na kurudi kwenda kwa maafisa wenzake, mmoja wao akamuuliza, “Je, kila kitu ni salama? Kwa nini huyu mwenye wazimu alikuja kwako?” Yehu akajibu, “Wewe unamfahamu huyo mtu, na aina ya mambo ambayo yeye husema.”
12 And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you to be king over Israel.
Wakasema, “Hiyo siyo kweli! Tuambie.” Yehu akasema, “Haya ndiyo aliyoniambia: ‘Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: Ninakutia mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya Israeli.’”
13 And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
Wakaharakisha kuvua mavazi yao, na kuyatandaza chini ya Yehu ili akanyage juu kwenye ngazi ya nje. Kisha wakapiga tarumbeta na kupaza sauti wakisema, “Yehu ni mfalme!”
14 So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
Basi Yehu mwana wa Yehoshafati, mwana wa Nimshi, akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Yoramu. (Wakati huu, Yoramu na Israeli wote walikuwa wakiilinda Ramoth-Gileadi dhidi ya Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu,
15 And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
lakini Mfalme Yoramu alikuwa amerudishwa Yezreeli ili kujiuguza kutokana na majeraha ambayo Waaramu walimtia katika vita na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu.) Yehu akasema, “Kama hii ndiyo nia yenu, msimruhusu hata mmoja kutoroka nje ya mji kwenda kupeleka habari huko Yezreeli.”
16 And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
Ndipo Yehu akaingia katika gari lake la vita na kuendesha kwenda Yezreeli, kwa sababu Yoramu alikuwa amepumzika huko, na Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda alikuwa ameenda kumwona.
17 And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
Mlinzi aliyesimama juu ya kinara cha Yezreeli alipoona askari wa Yehu wanakuja, akaita akisema, “Naona askari wanakuja.” Yoramu akaamuru, “Mtwae mpanda farasi umtume akakutane nao na kuuliza, ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’”
18 And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
Mpanda farasi akaondoka kwenda kukutana na Yehu na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo mfalme: ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’” Yehu akamjibu, “Una nini na amani? Unga msafara nyuma yangu.” Mlinzi akatoa habari, “Mjumbe amewafikia lakini harudi.”
19 And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
Basi mfalme akamtuma mpanda farasi wa pili. Wakati alipowafikia akasema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo mfalme, ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’” Yehu akajibu, “Una nini na amani? Unga msafara nyuma yangu.”
20 And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
Yule mlinzi akatoa taarifa akasema, “Mjumbe amewafikia, lakini hata yeye harudi. Uendeshaji ule ni kama wa Yehu mwana wa Nimshi, anaendesha kama mwenye wazimu!”
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
Yoramu akaagiza, akasema, “Weka tayari gari langu la vita.” Na baada ya gari kuwa tayari, Yoramu mfalme wa Israeli, na Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, wakaondoka kila mmoja kwenye gari lake ili kukutana na Yehu. Walikutana naye katika shamba lililokuwa mali ya Nabothi, Myezreeli.
22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of your mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
Yoramu alipomwona Yehu akauliza, “Je, Yehu, umekuja kwa amani?” Yehu akajibu, “Kunawezaje kuwa na amani wakati ibada za sanamu na uchawi wa mama yako Yezebeli ungaliko?”
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
Yoramu akageuka nyuma na kukimbia, akimwambia Ahazia, “Huu ni uhaini, Ahazia!”
24 And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
Kisha Yehu akatwaa upinde wake na kumchoma Yoramu katikati ya mabega. Mshale ukapenya kwenye moyo wake, naye akaanguka ghafula ndani ya gari lake.
25 And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and you remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
Yehu akamwambia Bidkari, mwendeshaji wa gari lake, “Mwinue na umtupe katika shamba lililokuwa mali ya Nabothi, Myezreeli. Kumbuka jinsi mimi na wewe tulivyokuwa tukiendesha pamoja magari yetu nyuma ya Ahabu baba yake, wakati Bwana alipotoa unabii huu kumhusu:
26 Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, says the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, says the Lord. Now then, I pray you, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
‘Jana niliona damu ya Nabothi na damu ya wanawe, nami kwa hakika nitakufanya uilipe juu ya shamba hili, asema Bwana.’ Sasa basi, mwinue na umtupe juu ya kiwanja, kulingana na neno la Bwana.”
27 And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one struck him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
Wakati Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda alipoona kilichotokea, akakimbia kupitia barabara ya Beth-Hagani. Yehu akamkimbiza akipaza sauti na kusema, “Muue naye pia!” Wakamjeruhi katika gari lake kwenye njia ielekeayo Guri karibu na Ibleamu, lakini akatorokea Megido na akafia huko.
28 And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
Watumishi wake wakambeba kwa gari la vita na kumpeleka Yerusalemu, wakamzika pamoja na baba zake kwenye kaburi lake katika Mji wa Daudi.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
(Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, Ahazia alianza kutawala katika Yuda.)
30 And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
Kisha Yehu akaenda Yezreeli. Yezebeli aliposikia habari hii, akayapaka macho yake rangi, akatengeneza nywele zake na kutazama nje dirishani.
31 And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
Yehu alipokuwa akiingia langoni, Yezebeli akasema, “Je, umekuja kwa amani, Zimri, wewe muuaji wa bwana wako?”
32 And he lifted up his face towards the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
Yehu akaangalia juu dirishani na kuita, “Je, ni nani aliye upande wangu? Ni nani?” Matowashi wawili au watatu wakamtazama.
33 And he said, Throw her [down]. And they threw her [down]; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and they trampled on her.
Yehu akasema, “Mtupeni huyo mwanamke chini!” Kwa hiyo wakamtupa chini, nayo baadhi ya damu yake ikatapanyika ukutani na nyingine juu ya farasi walipokuwa wakimkanyaga kwa miguu yao.
34 And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
Yehu akaingia ndani, akala na akanywa. Akasema, “Mshughulikieni huyo mwanamke aliyelaaniwa. Mzikeni, kwa sababu alikuwa binti wa mfalme.”
35 And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Lakini walipotoka kwenda kumzika, hawakukuta kitu chochote isipokuwa fuvu la kichwa, miguu yake na mikono.
36 And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
Wakarudi na kumwambia Yehu, ambaye alisema, “Hili ndilo neno la Bwana alilosema kupitia kinywa cha mtumishi wake Eliya Mtishbi, kwamba: Katika kiwanja cha Yezreeli, mbwa wataikula nyama ya Yezebeli.
37 And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
Maiti ya Yezebeli itakuwa kama mavi shambani katika uwanja wa Yezreeli, kwamba hakutakuwepo mtu atakayeweza kusema, ‘Huyu ndiye Yezebeli.’”
