1 Kings 16
1 And the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasa, saying:
Neno la BWANA lilimjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani kinyume cha Baasha, likisema,
2 'Forasmuch as I 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 with their sins;
Ingawa Nilikuinua kutoka kwenye mavumbi na kukufanya kuwa kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli, Lakini umetembea katika njia za Yeroboamu na umewafanya watu wangu Israeli kufanya dhambi, ili kunikasirisha dhidi ya dhambi zao.
3 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasa and his house; and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Tazama, Nitamfagia kabisa Baasha na familia yake na nitaifanya familia yako kama familia ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.
4 Him that dieth of Baasa in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'
Mbwa watamla yeyote ambaye anatoka kwa Baasha wanaofia mjini, na ndege wa angani watamla yeyote anayaefia shambani.”
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasa, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Lakini kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Baasha, aliyofanya, na uwezo wake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
6 And Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
Baasha akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Tirza, na Ela mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
7 And moreover by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasa, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.
Kwa kupitia nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani neno la BWANA likaja kinyume na Baasha na familia yake, wote kwa sababu ya maovu yote aliyofanya machoni pa BWANA, akamghadhabisha kwa kazi ya mikono yake, kama familia ya Yeroboamu, na kwa sababu alikuwa ameiua familia yote ya Yeroboamu.
8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasa to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na sita wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli kule Tirza; akatawala kwa miaka miwili.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him; now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;
Mtumishi wake Zimri, mkuu wa nusu ya magari yake akatengeneza hila dhidi yake. Wakati huo Ela alikuwa Tirza, akinywa na kulewa kwenye nyumba ya Arza, ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa watumishi wa nyumbani huko Tirza.
10 and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
Zimri akaiingia ndani, akamshambulia na kumwua, katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasa; he left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
Zimri alipoaanza kutawala, mara tu baada ya kukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi, akawaua wanafamilia wote wa Baasha. Hakumwacha mtoto hata mmoja wa kiume, hakuna hata wa ndugu yake wala wa rafiki zake.
12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke against Baasa by Jehu the prophet,
Kwa hiyo Zimri aliingamiza familia yote ya Baasha, kama alivyokuwa ameambiwa kwa neno la BWANA, ambalo lilinenwa kinyume na Baasha na nabii Yehu,
13 for all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
kwa dhambi zote za Baasha na za Ela mwanae ambazo walizifanya, ambazo kwazo waliisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi, kiasi c ha kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, kuzikasilikia sanamu zao.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Ela, yote ambayo alifanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri alitawala kwa siku saba tu kule Tirza. Jeshi likafanya kambi kule Gibethoni, ambao ni mji wa Wafilisti.
16 And the people that were encamped heard say: 'Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king'; wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
Lile jeshi lililokuwa limeweka kambi kule lilisikika lilksema, “Zimri amepanga njama na amemwua mfalme.” Kwa hiyo siku hiyo hapo kambini, Israeli yote ikamtangaza Omri, mkuu wa jeshi, kuwa mfalme wa Israeli.
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Omri akapanda kutoka Gibethoni na Israeli yote pamoja naye, nao wakauhusuru Tirza.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died;
Kwa hiyoZimri alipoona kuwa mji umetekwa, akaingia kwenye ngome na akaivamia ikulu ya mfalme na kulichoma moto jengo lote pamoja na yeye; kwa hiyo akafa kwa moto.
19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
Hii ilikuwa ni kwa sababu ya dhambi alizofanya kwa kufanya maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA, kwa kutembea katika njia ya Yeroboamu na katika dhambi ambazo alifanya, kiasi cha kuifanya Israeli wafanye dhambi.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pia kwa mambo mengiine yanayomhusu Zimri, na fitina yake aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
Sasa watu wa Israeli walikuwa wamegawanyika katika makundi mawili. Nusu ya watu walimfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi, wakamfanya kuwa mfalme, na Nusu walimfufata Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
Lakini watu waliomfuata Omri walikuwa na nguvu kuliko wale waliomfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Kwa hiyo Tibni akafa, na Omri akawa mfalme.
23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years; six years reigned he in Tirzah.
Omri alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akatawala miaka kumi na miwili. Alitawala akiwa Tirza kwa miaka sita.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
Akakinunua kilima cha Samaria kutoka kwa Shemeri kwa kilo 68 za fedha. Akajenga mji juu ya mlima na ule mji akauita Samaria, kwa sababu ya jina la Shemeri, mmiliki wa awali wa kile kilima.
25 And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him.
Omri akafanya maovu mbele ya BWANA na akafanya yaliyo maovu zaidi kuliko wale waliokuwa kabla yake.
26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
Kwa kuwa alitembea katika njia zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati na katika dhambi zake ambazo kwa hizo aliwaongoza Waisraeli kufanya dhambi, ili kumkasirisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, ili kuwa na hasira juu ya sanamu zao za ubatili.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Omri ambayo alfanya, na nguvu zake alizoonyesha, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
Kwa hiyo Omri akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Samaria na Ahabu mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
Katika mwaka wa thelathiini na nane wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omri akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli. Ahabu mwana wa Omri akatawala Israeli kule Samaria kwa miaka ishirini na mbili.
30 And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya BWANA, zaidi ya wote waliokuwa kabla yake.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
Ikawa kidogo tu Ahabu ayaendee makosa ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, kwa hiyo akamwoa Yezebeli binti wa Ethibaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni; akaenda akamwabudu baali na akamsujudia.
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
Akamjengea madhabahu Baali, ambayo alikuwa ameijenga kule Samaria.
33 And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
Ahabu akatengeneza Ashera. Ahabu akafanya maovu zaidi kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Isareli, akamkasirisha kuliko wafalme wote wa Israeli waliokuwa kabla yake.
34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho; with Abiram his first-born he laid the foundation thereof, and with his youngest son Segub he set up the gates thereof; according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun.
Katika siku zake Hieli Mbetheli aliijenga tena Yeriko. Akaijenga misingi ya mji kwa kufiwa na Abiramu mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, naye akayajenga malango ya mji kwa kufiwa na mwanae mdogo Segebu, na walifanya hivi kwa sababu walitii neno la BWANA, ambalo alikuwa amelinena kwa kinywa cha Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
