2 Kings 15
1 In the seven and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Azarias son of Amasias, king of Juda.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Azaria mwana wa Amazia mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
2 He was sixteen years old, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka hamsini na miwili. Mama yake aliitwa Yekolia wa Yerusalemu.
3 And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.
Akatenda yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Amazia baba yake alivyofanya.
4 But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Hata hivyo, mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko.
5 And the Lord struck the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a free house apart: but Joatham the king’s soil governed the palace, and judged the people of the land.
Bwana akampiga mfalme kwa ukoma mpaka siku aliyokufa, naye aliishi katika nyumba iliyotengwa peke yake. Yothamu mwana wa mfalme akawa msimamizi wa jumba la mfalme, na akawatawala watu wa nchi.
6 And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Azaria na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
7 And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Azaria akalala pamoja na baba zake, naye akazikwa karibu nao katika Mji wa Daudi, na Yothamu mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
8 In the eight and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda, reigned Zacharias son of Jeroboam over Israel in Samaria six months:
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Zekaria mwana wa Yeroboamu akawa mfalme wa Israeli katika Samaria, naye akatawala miezi sita.
9 And he did that which is evil before the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat who made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, kama baba zake walivyofanya. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
10 And Sellum the son of Jabes conspired against him: and struck him publicly and killed him, and reigned in his place.
Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Zekaria. Akamshambulia mbele ya watu, akamuua na kuingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zacharias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Zekaria yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
12 This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: Thy children to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.
Kwa hiyo neno la Bwana lililonenwa kwa Yehu likatimia, kwamba, “Wazao wako wataketi juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli hadi kizazi cha nne.”
13 Sellum the son of Jabes began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda: and reigned one month in Samaria.
Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akawa mfalme katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Uzia mfalme wa Yuda, naye akatawala katika Samaria kwa mwezi mmoja.
14 And Manahem the son of Gadi went up from Thersa: and he came into Samaria, and struck Sellum the son of Jabes in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
Kisha Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akaenda kutoka Tirsa mpaka Samaria. Akamshambulia Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi huko Samaria, akamuua na kuingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
15 And the rest of the acts of Sellum, and his conspiracy, which he made, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Shalumu, na mauaji aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
16 Then Manahem destroyed Thapsa and all that were in it and the borders thereof from Thersa, because they would not open to him: and he slew all the women thereof that were with child, and ripped them up.
Wakati ule, akianzia Tirsa, Menahemu alishambulia Tifsa na kila mtu ndani yake, na wale waliokuwa maeneo jirani, kwa sababu walikataa kufungua malango yao. Akaiangamiza Tifsa yote, na kuwapasua matumbo wanawake wote wenye mimba.
17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azarias king of Juda, reigned Manahem son of Gadi over Israel ten years in Samaria.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akawa mfalme wa Israeli, akatawala huko Samaria kwa miaka kumi.
18 And he did that which was evil before the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin all his days.
Akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana. Katika wakati wa utawala wake wote, hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
19 And Phul king of the Assyrians came into the land, and Manahem gave Phul a thousand talents of silver, to aid him and to establish him in the kingdom.
Kisha Pulu mfalme wa Ashuru akaishambulia Israeli. Menahemu mfalme wa Israeli akampa talanta elfu moja za fedha ili amsaidie na kumwezesha katika utawala wake.
20 And Manahem laid a tax upon Israel, on all that were mighty and rich, to give the king of the Assyrians, each man fifty sides of silver: so the king of the Assyrians turned back, and did not stay in the land.
Menahemu akatoza fedha hizi kwa nguvu kutoka kwa Israeli. Kila mtu tajiri alilazimika kuchanga shekeli hamsini za fedha ambazo alipewa mfalme wa Ashuru. Basi mfalme wa Ashuru akajiondoa na hakuendelea kuikalia nchi.
21 And the rest of the acts of Manahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Menahemu na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
22 And Manahem slept with his fathers: and Phaceia his son reigned in his stead.
Menahemu akalala pamoja na baba zake. Naye Pekahia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azarias king of Juda reigned Phaceia the son of Manahem over Israel in Samaria two years.
Katika mwaka wa hamsini wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Pekahia mwana wa Menahemu akawa mfalme wa Israeli huko Samaria, akatawala miaka miwili.
24 And he did that which was evil before the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Pekahia akafanya uovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
25 And Phacee the son of Romelia, his captain conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the tower of the king’s house, near Argob, and near Arie, and with him fifty men of the sons of the Galaadites, and he slew him and reigned in his stead.
Mmoja wa maafisa wake wakuu, Peka mwana wa Remalia, akafanya shauri baya dhidi yake. Akachukua watu hamsini wa Gileadi pamoja naye, akamuua Pekahia, pamoja na Argobu na Aria, katika ngome ya jumba la kifalme huko Samaria. Kwa hiyo Peka akamuua Pekahia, naye akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
26 And the rest of the acts of Phaceia, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Pekahia na yote aliyoyafanya yameandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azarias king of Juda reigned Phacee the son of Romelia over Israel in Samaria twenty years.
Katika mwaka wa hamsini na mbili wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remalia akawa mfalme wa Israeli huko Samaria, naye alitawala miaka ishirini.
28 And he did that which was evil before the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
29 In the days of Phacee king of Israel came Theglathphalasar king of Assyria, and took Aion, and Abel Domum Maacha and Janoe, and Cedes, and Asor, and Galaad, and Galilee, and all the land of Nephtali: and carried them captives into Assyria.
Wakati wa utawala wa Peka mfalme wa Israeli, Tiglath-Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru alikuja na kuteka Iyoni, Abel-Beth-Maaka, Yanoa, Kedeshi na Hazori. Akateka miji ya Gileadi na Galilaya, pamoja na nchi yote ya Naftali, na kuwahamishia watu wote Ashuru.
30 Now Osee son of Ela conspired, and formed a plot against Phacee, the son of Romelia, and struck him, and slew him: and reigned in his stead in the twentieth year of Joatham the son of Ozias.
Kisha Hoshea mwana wa Ela akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Peka mwana wa Remalia. Akamshambulia na kumuua, kisha akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yothamu mwana wa Uzia.
31 But the rest of the acts of Phaces, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Peka na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
32 In the second year of Phacee the son of Romelia king of Israel reigned Joatham son of Ozias king of Juda.
Katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Peka mwana wa Remalia mfalme wa Israeli, Yothamu mwana wa Uzia mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
33 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa, the daughter of Sadoc.
Alikuwa na miaka ishirini na mitano alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka kumi na sita. Mama yake aliitwa Yerusha binti Sadoki.
34 And he did that which was right before the Lord: according to all that his father Ozias had done, so did he.
Akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Uzia baba yake alivyokuwa amefanya.
35 But the high places he took not away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places: he built the highest gate of the house of the Lord.
Hata hivyo, mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko. Yothamu akajenga upya Lango la Juu la Hekalu la Bwana.
36 But the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yothamu na yale aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
37 In those days the Lord began to send into Juda Basin king of Syria, and Phacee the son of Romelia.
(Katika siku hizo, Bwana akaanza kuwatuma Resini mfalme wa Aramu na Peka mwana wa Remalia dhidi ya Yuda.)
38 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father, and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Yothamu akalala na baba zake, akazikwa pamoja nao katika Mji wa Daudi, mji wa baba zake. Naye Ahazi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
