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 Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Azaria mwana wa Amazia mfalme wa Yuda akaanza 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.
Azaria alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala, na alitawala kwa mda wa miaka hamsini na mbili katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yekolia, na alikuwa anatokea Yerusalemu.
3 And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.
Alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Yahwe, kama baba yake Amazia alivyofanya.
4 But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Lakini, mahali pa juu hapakuwa pameondolewa. Watu wakaendelea kutoa sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahala pa juu.
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.
Yhawe akampiga mfalme hivyo basi akawa na ukoma mpaka siku ya kifo chake na alikaa kwenye nyumba ya pekee. Yothamu, mtoto wa mfalme, alikuwa juu ya watu na kuwaongoza 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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Azaria, yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya 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.
Hivyo Azaria alilala pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi. Yothamu, mtoto wake, akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.
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 mwaka wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Zekaria mwana wa Yeroboamu akatawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria kwa 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.
Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe, kama baba zake waliyoyafanya. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kuasi
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 njama dhidi ya Zekaria, akamshambulia katika Ibleamu, na kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.
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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Zekaria, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya 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.
Hili ndilo lililokuwa neno la Yahwe ambalo aliongea na Yehu, kusema, “Kizazi chako kitakaa katika kiti cha Israeli mpaka kizazi cha nne.” Hiyo ikatokea.
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 akaanza kutawala katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, na kutawala kwa mwezi mmoja tu katika Samaria.
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.
Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akapanda kutoka Tirza kwenda Samaria. Akamshambulia Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi hapo, katika Samria. Akamuua na kuwa mfalme katika mahali pake.
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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Shalumu na njama aliyoifanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio cha wafle 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.
Ndipo Menahemu akamshambulia Tifsa na wote waliokuwa pale, na mipaka yote kuzunguka Tizra, kwasababu hawakufungua kwenye mji. Hivyo akaushambulia, na akawapasua wanawake wajawazito wote katika hicho kijiji.
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 Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akaanza kutawala; alitawala kwa miaka kumi katika Samaria.
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.
Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Katika maisha yake yote, hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.
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 akaja kinyume cha nchi, na Menahemu akampatia Pulu talanta elfu moja za fedha, hivyo msaada wa Pulu ungeweza kuwa na yeye kuimarisha utawala wa Israeli katika nchi yake.
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 hii pesa kutoka Israeli kwa kumtaka kila mtu tajiri alipe shekeli hamsini za fedha kwake kumpatia mfalme wa Ashura. Hivyo mfalme wa Ashuru akarudi na hakukaa pale katika ile 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?
Kama kwa mabo mengine yanayomuhusu Menahemu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya waflme wa Israeli?
22 And Manahem slept with his fathers: and Phaceia his son reigned in his stead.
Hivyo Menahemu akalala pamoja na babu zake, na Pekahia mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.
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 Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Pekahia mwana wa Menahemu akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala kwa muda wa 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.
Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni pa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambazo kwa hizo alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.
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.
Pekahia alikuwa na afisa aliyekuwa anaitwa Peka mwana wa Remalia, ambaye alifanya njama dhidi yake. Pamoja na watu hamsini wa Gileadi, Peka akamuua Pekahia pamoja na Argobu na Arie katika Samaria, katika ngome ya nyumba ya mfalme. Peka akamuua alipomua Pekahia akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.
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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Pekahia, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya 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 Azia mfalme wa Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remalia akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; 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.
Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.
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.
Katika siku za Peka mfalme wa Israeli, Tiglath Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru akaja na kuichukua Iyoni, Abel Beth Maaka, Yanoa, Kadeshi, Hazori, Gileadi, na nchi yote ya Naftali. Akawachukua hao watu hadi 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.
Hivyo Hoshea mwana wa Ela akafanya njama dhidi ya Peka mwana wa Remalia. Akaishambulia na kisha kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahali pake, 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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Peka, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya 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 Peka mwana wa Remalia, mfalme wa Israeli, Yothamu mwana wa Azaria, mfalme wa Yuda akaanza 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 umri wa miaka ishirini alipoanza kutawala; alitawala kwa muda wa miaka kumi na sita katika Yerusalimu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yerusha; alikuwa binti ya Sadoki.
34 And he did that which was right before the Lord: according to all that his father Ozias had done, so did he.
Yotahmu alifanya yaliyo sahihi usoni pa Yahwe. Alifuata mfano wa yote baba yake Azaria aliyofanya.
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.
Ila, mahali pa juu hapakuchukuliwa. Watu walikuwa wakitio sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahali pa juu. Yothamu akajenga lango la juu la nyumba ya Yahwe.
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?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yothamu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je yameandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya 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 zamani hizo Yahwe akaanza kumtuma dhidi ya Yuda Rezini mfalme wa Sahmu, na Peka mwana wa Remalia.
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 pamoja na babu zake na akazikwa pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi, babu yake. Kisha Ahazi, mtoto wake, akwa mfalme katika mhali pake.
