2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth yeere of Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah King of Iudah, Iehoahaz the sonne of Iehu began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, and he reigned seuenteene yeere.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na tatu wa utawala wa Yoashi mwana wa Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Yehoahazi mwana wa Yehu alianza kutawala Israeli katika Samaria, naye akatawala miaka kumi na saba.
2 And he did euil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana kwa kufuata dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuzitenda, na wala hakuziacha.
3 And the Lord was angry with Israel, and deliuered them into the hand of Hazael King of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the sonne of Hazael, all his dayes.
Kwa hiyo hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli na kwa muda mrefu akawaweka chini ya utawala wa Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu, na Ben-Hadadi mwanawe.
4 And Iehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the trouble of Israel, wherewith the King of Aram troubled them.
Ndipo Yehoahazi akamsihi Bwana rehema, naye Bwana akamsikiliza, kwa maana aliona jinsi mfalme wa Aramu alivyokuwa akiwatesa Israeli vikali.
5 (And the Lord gaue Israel a deliuerer, so that they came out from vnder the subiection of the Aramites. And the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before time.
Bwana akamtoa mwokozi kwa ajili ya Israeli, nao wakaokoka kutoka kwenye mamlaka ya Aramu. Hivyo Waisraeli wakaishi katika nyumba zao wenyewe kama ilivyokuwa hapo awali.
6 Neuerthelesse they departed not from the sinnes of the house of Ieroboam which made Israel sinne, but walked in them. euen the groue also remayned still in Samaria)
Lakini hawakuziacha dhambi za nyumba ya Yeroboamu, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda, bali wakaendelea kuzitenda. Nguzo ya Ashera pia iliendelea kusimama katika Samaria.
7 For he had left of the people to Iehoahaz but fiftie horsemen, and tenne charets, and tenne thousand footemen, because the King of Aram had destroyed them, and made them like dust beaten to pouder.
Hapakubaki kitu chochote katika jeshi la Yehoahazi isipokuwa wapanda farasi hamsini, magari kumi ya vita na askari wa miguu elfu kumi, kwa kuwa mfalme wa Aramu alikuwa amewaangamiza hao wengine na kuwafanya kama mavumbi wakati wa kupura nafaka.
8 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoahaz and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yehoahazi yote aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
9 And Iehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, and Ioash his sonne reigned in his steade.
Yehoahazi akalala pamoja na baba zake, akazikwa huko Samaria. Naye Yehoashi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
10 In the seuen and thirtieth yere of Ioash King of Iudah began Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteene yeere,
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na saba wa utawala wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda, Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi alianza kutawala Israeli huko Samaria, naye akatawala miaka kumi na sita.
11 And did euil in the sight of the Lord: for he departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat that made Israel to sinne, but he walked therein.
Alifanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, na hakuacha dhambi yoyote kati ya zile za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ambazo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuzitenda, bali aliendelea kuzitenda.
12 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioash and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, and how he fought against Amaziah King of Iudah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Na kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yehoashi, yote aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake, pamoja na vita yake dhidi ya Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
13 And Ioash slept with his fathers, and Ieroboam sate vpon his seate: and Ioash was buryed in Samaria among the Kings of Israel.
Yehoashi akalala pamoja na baba zake, akazikwa Samaria pamoja na wafalme wa Israeli. Yeroboamu akawa mfalme baada yake.
14 When Elisha fell sicke of his sickenesse whereof he dyed, Ioash the King of Israel came downe vnto him, and wept vpon his face, and sayd, O my father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen of the same.
Wakati huu, Elisha alikuwa anaumwa na ugonjwa ambao baadaye ulimuua. Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akashuka kwenda kumwona na kumlilia. Akalia, “Baba yangu! Baba yangu! Magari ya vita ya Israeli na wapanda farasi wake!”
15 Then Elisha sayde vnto him, Take a bowe and arrowes. And he tooke vnto him bowe and arrowes.
Elisha akasema, “Leta upinde na baadhi ya mishale,” naye mfalme akafanya hivyo.
16 And he sayde to the King of Israel, Put thine hand vpon the bowe. And he put his hand vpon it. And Elisha put his hands vpon the Kings hands,
Elisha akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Shika upinde mikononi mwako.” Alipokwisha kuichukua, Elisha akaweka mikono yake juu ya mikono ya mfalme.
17 And saide, Open the windowe Eastward. And when he had opened it, Elisha said, Shoote. And he shot. And he sayd, Beholde the arrowe of the Lordes deliuerance and the arrowe of deliuerance against Aram: for thou shalt smite the Aramites in Aphek, till thou hast consumed them.
Elisha akasema, “Fungua dirisha la mashariki,” naye akalifungua. Elisha akasema, “Piga mshale!” Naye akapiga mshale. Elisha akasema, “Mshale wa ushindi wa Bwana, mshale wa ushindi juu ya Aramu! Utawaangamiza Waaramu kabisa huko Afeki.”
18 Againe he said, Take the arrowes. And he tooke them. And he sayde vnto the King of Israel, Smite the ground. And he smote thrise, and ceased.
Kisha akasema, “Chukua mishale,” naye mfalme akaichukua. Elisha akamwambia, “Piga ardhi kwa hiyo mishale.” Akaipiga mara tatu, halafu akaacha.
19 Then the man of God was angry with him, and sayde, Thou shouldest haue smitten fiue or sixe times, so thou shouldest haue smitten Aram, till thou haddest consumed it, where nowe thou shalt smite Aram but thrise.
Mtu wa Mungu akamkasirikia na akasema, “Ungepiga chini mara tano au sita, ndipo ungeishinda Aramu na kuiangamiza kabisa. Lakini sasa utaishinda mara tatu tu.”
20 So Elisha dyed, and they buryed him. And certaine bandes of the Moabites came into the land that yeere.
Elisha akafa, nao wakamzika. Vikosi vya Wamoabu vilikuwa vinashambulia nchi kwa vita kila mwaka wakati wa vuli.
21 And as they were burying a man, behold, they saw the souldiers: therfore they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha. And when the man was downe, and touched the bones of Elisha, he reuiued and stoode vpon his feete.
Ikawa Waisraeli fulani walipokuwa wanamzika mtu, ghafula wakaona kikosi cha washambuliaji, basi wakaitupa ile maiti ya yule mtu ndani ya kaburi la Elisha. Wakati ile maiti ilipogusa mifupa ya Elisha, yule mtu akafufuka na kusimama kwa miguu yake.
22 But Hazael King of Aram vexed Israel all the dayes of Iehoahaz.
Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu aliwatesa Israeli wakati wote wa utawala wa Yehoahazi.
23 Therefore the Lord had mercy on them and pitied them, and had respect vnto them because of his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from him as yet.
Lakini Bwana akawarehemu na akawahurumia, akaonyesha kujishughulisha nao kwa sababu ya Agano lake na Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo. Hadi leo, hajawaangamiza wala kuwafukuza mbele zake.
24 So Hazael the King of Aram dyed: and Ben-hadad his sonne reigned in his stead.
Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akafa, naye Ben-Hadadi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
25 Therefore Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz returned, and tooke out of the hand of Ben-hadad the sonne of Hazael the cities which he had taken away by warre out of the hand of Iehoahaz his father: for three times did Ioash beate him, and restored the cities vnto Israel.
Kisha Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi akateka tena kutoka kwa Ben-Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli ile miji aliyokuwa ameitwaa kwa vita kutoka kwa baba yake Yehoahazi. Yehoashi alimshinda mara tatu, hivyo akaweza kuiteka tena ile miji ya Waisraeli.
