1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na tano wa mfame Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya alianza kutawala juu yaYuda.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.
Alitawala kwa miaka mitata kule Yerusalemu. Jina la mama yake allikuwa Maaka. Alikuwa binti wa Absalomu.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
Naye alitembea katika dhambi zote ambazo baba yake alizifanya kabla yake; moyo wake haukuwa mkalifu kwa BWANA, Mungu wake kama moyo wa Daudi, babu yake ulivyokuwa.
4 But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
Hata hivyo, kwa ajili ya Daudi, BWANA, Mungu wake alimpa taa Yerusalemu kwa kumwinua mwanae baada yake ili kuiimarisha Yerusalemu.
5 Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.
Mungu alifanya haya kwa sababu Daudi alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pake; wakati wote wa uhai wake, hakugeuka wala hakukosa katika yote aliyomwamuru, isipokuwa tu swala la Uria Mhiti.
6 But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.
Sasa kulikuwa na vita kati ya Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu katika siku zote za maisha ya Abiya.
7 And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.
Kwa mambo mengine ya Abiya, yote aliyofanya, je, hayajaandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda? Sasa kulikuwa na vita kati ya Abiya na Yeroboamu.
8 And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Abiya akalala na mababu zake, nao wakamzika katika mji wa Daudi. Asa mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
9 So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,
Katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Asa akaanza kutawala Yuda.
10 And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.
Alitawala kwa miaka arobaini na moja kule Yerusalemu. Bibi yake alikuwa Maaka, binti wa Absalomu.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:
Asa akafanya yaliyo mema machono mwa BWANA, kama alivyofanya Daudi, babu yake.
12 And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
Yeye aliwafukuza kutoka katika nchi wale makahaba wa kipagani na akaziondoa sanamu zote ambazo babu zake walikuwa wametengeneza.
13 Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:
Pia alimwondoa bibi yake asiwe Malkia, kwa sababu alikuwa amefanya sanamu ya kuchukiza kwa Ashera. Asa aliikata sanamu ya kuchukiza na kuiteketeza katika Bonde la Kidroni.
14 But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:
Lakini pale mahali pa juu hapakuchukuliwa. Hata hivyo. Moyo wa Asa ulikuwa mkamilifu mbele ya BWANA katika siku zake zote.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
Alivirerjesha katika nyumba ya BWANA vitu vile vilivyokuwa vimetengwa kwa ajili ya BWANA, na vile vitu vyake vilivyokuwa vimetengezwa kwa fedha, na dhahabu na vyombo.
16 And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
Basi kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, kwa miaka yao yote.
17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.
Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, akaivamia na kuijenga Rama, kiasi kwamba hakumruhusu yeyote kuondoka au kuingia katika nchi ya Asa mfalme wa Yuda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
Kisha Asa akazichukua zile fedha na dhahabu zilizokuwa zimebaki kwenye hazina kwenye nyumba ya BWANA, na katika hazina ya ikulu ya mfalme. Akaziweka katika mikono ya watumishi wake na kuzituma kwa Beni Hadadi mwana wa Tabrimoni mwana wa Hezioni, mfalme wa Shamu ambaye alikuwa akishi Dameski. Akamwambia,
19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Naomba tufanye patano kati yangu na wewe, kama ilivyokuwa kati ya baba yangu na baba yako. Tazama, Nimekutumia zawadi ya fedha na dhahabu. Ili uvunje agano lako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, ili kwamba aniache.”
20 Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.
Beni Hadadi akamsikiliza mfalme Asa na kutuma wakuu wa majeshi yake, nao wakaishambulia miji ya Israeli. Wakaishambulia Ijoni, Dani, Abeliya Bethi Maaka, na Kinerothi yote, pamoja na nchi yote ya Naftali.
21 And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.
Ikawa Baasha aliposikia haya, akaacha kuijenga Rama akarudi Tirza.
22 But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.
Kisha mfalme Asa akaitangazia Yuda yote. Hakuna aliyeachwa. Wakayabeba mawe na miti ya Rama ambayo Baasha alikuwa akijengea mji. Kisha mfalme Asa akavitumia hivyo vitu kuijenga Geba ya Benjamini na Mispa.
23 But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Mambo mengine yanyohusu utawala wa Asa, uwezo wake wote, yote aliyofanya, na miji aliyoijenga, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda? Lakini wakati wa uzee wake alipata ugonjwa wa miguu.
24 And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned in his place.
Kisha Asa akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa pamoja nao katika mji wa Daudi baba yake. Yehoshafati mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
25 But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.
Nadabu mwana wa Yerobiamu alianza kutawala huko Israeli wakati wa mwaka wa pili wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda; Aliitawala Israeli kwa miaka miwili.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele y a macho ya BWANA naye akatembea katika njia ya baba yake, na katika dhambi yake, aliisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.
27 And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.
Baasha mwana wa Ahiya, wa familia ya Isakari, akafanya hila dhidi ya Nadabu; Baasha akamwua huko Gibethoni, ambao ulikuwa mji wa Wafilisti, kwa kuwa Nadabu na Israeli walikuwa wakiuhusuru Gibethoni.
28 So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned in his place.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha alimwua Nadabu naye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
29 And when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:
Mara tu baad ya kuwa mfalme, Baasha aliwaua watu wote wa familia ya Yeroboamu. Hakumwacha hata mmoja wa uzao wa Yeroboamu awe hai; Kwa njia hii akawa ameuharibu ukoo wote wa kifalme, kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa amesema kupitia mtumishi wake Ahiya Mshilo,
30 Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.
kwa sababu ya dhambi za Yeroboamu ambazo alifanya na akaisababishia Israeli kufanya dhambi, kwa kuwa alimkasirisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli.
31 But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Mambo mengine yanayomhusu Nadabu, na yote aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasa the king of Israel all their days.
Kisha kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli katika siku zao zote.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha mwana wa Ahiya alianza kuitawala Israeli yote huko Tirza naye alitawala kwa miaka ishirini na nne.
34 And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Naye akafanya yaliyo mabaya katika macho ya BWANA na akatembea katika njia ya Yeroboamu na katika dhambi yake ambayo kwa hiyo aliifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.
