1 Kings 16
1 And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
Neno la BWANA lilimjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani kinyume cha Baasha, likisema,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins;
Ingawa Nilikuinua kutoka kwenye mavumbi na kukufanya kuwa kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli, Lakini umetembea katika njia za Yeroboamu na umewafanya watu wangu Israeli kufanya dhambi, ili kunikasirisha dhidi ya dhambi zao.
3 behold, I will take away Baasha and his house, and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Tazama, Nitamfagia kabisa Baasha na familia yake na nitaifanya familia yako kama familia ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.
4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat.
Mbwa watamla yeyote ambaye anatoka kwa Baasha wanaofia mjini, na ndege wa angani watamla yeyote anayaefia shambani.”
5 And the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Lakini kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Baasha, aliyofanya, na uwezo wake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
6 And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
Baasha akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Tirza, na Ela mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
7 And also through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani the word of Jehovah came against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he had smitten him.
Kwa kupitia nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani neno la BWANA likaja kinyume na Baasha na familia yake, wote kwa sababu ya maovu yote aliyofanya machoni pa BWANA, akamghadhabisha kwa kazi ya mikono yake, kama familia ya Yeroboamu, na kwa sababu alikuwa ameiua familia yote ya Yeroboamu.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na sita wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli kule Tirza; akatawala kwa miaka miwili.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots, conspired against him; and he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was the steward of his house in Tirzah;
Mtumishi wake Zimri, mkuu wa nusu ya magari yake akatengeneza hila dhidi yake. Wakati huo Ela alikuwa Tirza, akinywa na kulewa kwenye nyumba ya Arza, ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa watumishi wa nyumbani huko Tirza.
10 and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned in his stead.
Zimri akaiingia ndani, akamshambulia na kumwua, katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
11 And it came to pass when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not a male, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends.
Zimri alipoaanza kutawala, mara tu baada ya kukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi, akawaua wanafamilia wote wa Baasha. Hakumwacha mtoto hata mmoja wa kiume, hakuna hata wa ndugu yake wala wa rafiki zake.
12 And Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke against Baasha through Jehu the prophet,
Kwa hiyo Zimri aliingamiza familia yote ya Baasha, kama alivyokuwa ameambiwa kwa neno la BWANA, ambalo lilinenwa kinyume na Baasha na nabii Yehu,
13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and wherewith they made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
kwa dhambi zote za Baasha na za Ela mwanae ambazo walizifanya, ambazo kwazo waliisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi, kiasi c ha kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, kuzikasilikia sanamu zao.
14 And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Ela, yote ambayo alifanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri alitawala kwa siku saba tu kule Tirza. Jeshi likafanya kambi kule Gibethoni, ambao ni mji wa Wafilisti.
16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also smitten the king; and all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
Lile jeshi lililokuwa limeweka kambi kule lilisikika lilksema, “Zimri amepanga njama na amemwua mfalme.” Kwa hiyo siku hiyo hapo kambini, Israeli yote ikamtangaza Omri, mkuu wa jeshi, kuwa mfalme wa Israeli.
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Omri akapanda kutoka Gibethoni na Israeli yote pamoja naye, nao wakauhusuru Tirza.
18 And it came to pass when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burned the king's house over him with fire;
Kwa hiyoZimri alipoona kuwa mji umetekwa, akaingia kwenye ngome na akaivamia ikulu ya mfalme na kulichoma moto jengo lote pamoja na yeye; kwa hiyo akafa kwa moto.
19 and he died for his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, making Israel to sin.
Hii ilikuwa ni kwa sababu ya dhambi alizofanya kwa kufanya maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA, kwa kutembea katika njia ya Yeroboamu na katika dhambi ambazo alifanya, kiasi cha kuifanya Israeli wafanye dhambi.
20 And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracy which he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pia kwa mambo mengiine yanayomhusu Zimri, na fitina yake aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
Sasa watu wa Israeli walikuwa wamegawanyika katika makundi mawili. Nusu ya watu walimfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi, wakamfanya kuwa mfalme, na Nusu walimfufata Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri overcame the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; and Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
Lakini watu waliomfuata Omri walikuwa na nguvu kuliko wale waliomfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Kwa hiyo Tibni akafa, na Omri akawa mfalme.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, — twelve years; he reigned six years in Tirzah.
Omri alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akatawala miaka kumi na miwili. Alitawala akiwa Tirza kwa miaka sita.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and built on the hill, and called the name of the city that he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
Akakinunua kilima cha Samaria kutoka kwa Shemeri kwa kilo 68 za fedha. Akajenga mji juu ya mlima na ule mji akauita Samaria, kwa sababu ya jina la Shemeri, mmiliki wa awali wa kile kilima.
25 And Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did worse than all that were before him.
Omri akafanya maovu mbele ya BWANA na akafanya yaliyo maovu zaidi kuliko wale waliokuwa kabla yake.
26 And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
Kwa kuwa alitembea katika njia zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati na katika dhambi zake ambazo kwa hizo aliwaongoza Waisraeli kufanya dhambi, ili kumkasirisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, ili kuwa na hasira juu ya sanamu zao za ubatili.
27 And the rest of the acts of Omri, what he did, and his might which he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Omri ambayo alfanya, na nguvu zake alizoonyesha, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
Kwa hiyo Omri akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Samaria na Ahabu mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
29 And Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
Katika mwaka wa thelathiini na nane wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omri akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli. Ahabu mwana wa Omri akatawala Israeli kule Samaria kwa miaka ishirini na mbili.
30 And Ahab the son of Omri wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah more than all that were before him.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya BWANA, zaidi ya wote waliokuwa kabla yake.
31 And it came to pass, as if it was a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshipped him.
Ikawa kidogo tu Ahabu ayaendee makosa ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, kwa hiyo akamwoa Yezebeli binti wa Ethibaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni; akaenda akamwabudu baali na akamsujudia.
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.
Akamjengea madhabahu Baali, ambayo alikuwa ameijenga kule Samaria.
33 And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
Ahabu akatengeneza Ashera. Ahabu akafanya maovu zaidi kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Isareli, akamkasirisha kuliko wafalme wote wa Israeli waliokuwa kabla yake.
34 In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundation in Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates in Segub his youngest, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke through Joshua the son of Nun.
Katika siku zake Hieli Mbetheli aliijenga tena Yeriko. Akaijenga misingi ya mji kwa kufiwa na Abiramu mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, naye akayajenga malango ya mji kwa kufiwa na mwanae mdogo Segebu, na walifanya hivi kwa sababu walitii neno la BWANA, ambalo alikuwa amelinena kwa kinywa cha Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
