1 Kings 16
1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasa, saying:
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani dhidi ya Baasha, kusema:
2 Forasmuch as I have 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, to provoke me to anger with their sins:
“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 will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Basi nitamwangamiza Baasha pamoja na nyumba yake, nami nitaifanya nyumba yako kama ile ya Yeroboamu mwanawe Nebati.
4 Him that dieth of Baasa in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour.
Mbwa watawala watu wa Baasha watakaofia mjini na ndege wa angani watajilisha kwa wale watakaofia mashambani.”
5 But the rest of the acts of Baasa and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela his son reigned in his stead.
Baasha akalala na baba zake naye akazikwa huko Tirsa. Naye Ela mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
7 And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him, that is to say, Jehu the son of Hanani, the prophet.
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 In the six and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Ela the son of Baasa reigned over Israel in Thersa two years.
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 his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa the governor of 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 rushing in, struck him and slew him in the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, and he 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 when he was king and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall, and all his kinsfolks and friends.
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 And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa in the hand of Jehu 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 the sins of Ela his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord the 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 But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 In the seven and twentieth year of Asa king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon a city 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 when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day.
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 Amri went up, and all Israel with him from Gebbethon, and they besieged Thersa.
Ndipo Omri na Waisraeli wote pamoja naye wakaondoka Gibethoni na kuizingira Tirsa.
18 And Zambri seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace and burnt himself with the king’s house: and he 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 In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made 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 But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thebni the son of Gineth, to make him king: and one half followed Amri.
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 But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned.
Lakini wafuasi wa Omri wakajionyesha wenye nguvu kuliko wale wa Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Hivyo Tibni akafa na Omri akawa mfalme.
23 In the one and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.
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 he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer the owner of the hill.
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 Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above 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 made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger with 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 Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days 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 Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab his son reigned in his stead.
Omri akalala pamoja na baba zake na akazikwa huko Samaria. Ahabu mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
29 Now Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa king of Juda. And Achab the son of Amri reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty 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 Achab the son of Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya maovu zaidi machoni mwa Bwana kuliko yeyote aliyewatangulia.
31 Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored 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 for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria,
Akajenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya Baali katika hekalu la Baali lile alilolijenga huko Samaria.
33 And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord the God of Israel, than 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 In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho: in Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue the son of Nun.
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.
