2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
Katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi mfalme wa Israeli, Amazia mwana wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka ishirini na tisa. Mama yake aliitwa Yehoadani, kutoka Yerusalemu.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Akatenda yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, lakini sio kama Daudi baba yake alivyokuwa amefanya. Katika kila kitu alifuata mfano wa Yoashi baba yake.
4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places.
Hata hivyo mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father;
Baada ya ufalme kuimarika mikononi mwake, aliwaua maafisa waliomuua mfalme baba yake.
6 but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded saying: 'The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.'
Hata hivyo, hakuwaua wana wa wale wauaji, sawasawa na ilivyoandikwa katika Kitabu cha Sheria ya Mose ambako Bwana aliamuru, “Baba hawatauawa kwa ajili ya watoto wao, wala watoto kwa ajili ya baba zao. Kila mmoja atakufa kwa ajili ya dhambi zake mwenyewe.”
7 He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto this day.
Ndiye aliwashinda Waedomu elfu kumi katika Bonde la Chumvi, na akauteka Sela katika vita, naye akauita Yoktheeli, jina ambalo mji huo unalo hadi leo.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: 'Come, let us look one another in the face.'
Kisha Amazia akatuma wajumbe kwa Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi, mwana wa Yehu, mfalme wa Israeli, akisema, “Njoo, tuonane uso kwa uso.”
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying: 'The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife; and there passed by the wild beasts that were in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.
Lakini Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akamjibu Amazia mfalme wa Yuda: “Mbaruti uliokuwa Lebanoni ulituma ujumbe kwa mwerezi uliokuwa Lebanoni, ‘Mtoe binti yako aolewe na mwanangu.’ Kisha mnyama wa mwituni aliyekuwa Lebanoni akaja na kuukanyaga ule mbaruti.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and will thy heart lift thee up? glory therein, and remain at home; for why shouldest thou meddle with evil, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Hakika umeishinda Edomu, na sasa unajivuna. Jisifu katika ushindi wako, lakini kaa nyumbani kwako! Kwa nini unachokoza na kujiletea anguko lako mwenyewe na la Yuda pia?”
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
Hata hivyo, Amazia hakusikia, hivyo Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akashambulia. Yeye na Amazia mfalme wa Yuda wakakutana uso kwa uso huko Beth-Shemeshi katika Yuda.
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Yuda ikashindwa na Israeli, na kila mtu akakimbilia nyumbani kwake.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli akamteka Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, mwana wa Yoashi, mwana wa Ahazia, huko Beth-Shemeshi. Kisha Yehoashi akaenda Yerusalemu na kuubomoa ukuta wa Yerusalemu kuanzia Lango la Efraimu hadi Lango la Pembeni, sehemu yenye urefu wa kama dhiraa 400.
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Akachukua dhahabu yote na fedha na vyombo vyote vilivyopatikana ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana na katika hazina zote za jumba la mfalme. Akachukua pia mateka na akarudi Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yehoashi, aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake, pamoja na vita vyake dhidi ya Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Yehoashi akalala pamoja na baba zake, akazikwa Samaria pamoja na wafalme wa Israeli, naye Yeroboamu mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Amazia mwana wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda aliishi miaka kumi na mitano baada ya kifo cha Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoahazi mfalme wa Israeli.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Amazia, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Wakafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Amazia huko Yerusalemu, naye akakimbilia Lakishi, lakini wakawatuma watu wamfuatilie huko Lakishi, nao wakamuulia huko.
20 And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Akarudishwa kwa farasi na akazikwa huko Yerusalemu pamoja na baba zake katika Mji wa Daudi.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
Kisha watu wote wa Yuda wakamchukua Azaria aliyekuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita, na kumfanya mfalme mahali pa baba yake Amazia.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Ndiye aliijenga tena Elathi na kuirudisha kwa Yuda baada ya Amazia kulala pamoja na baba zake.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na tano wa utawala wa Amazia mwana wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda, Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehoashi mfalme wa Israeli alianza kutawala huko Samaria, naye akatawala kwa miaka arobaini na mmoja.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, na hakuacha dhambi hata moja ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
Ndiye alirudishia mipaka ya Israeli kuanzia Lebo-Hamathi hadi Bahari ya Araba, sawasawa na neno la Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, lililosemwa kupitia mtumishi wake Yona mwana wa Amitai, nabii kutoka Gath-Heferi.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
Bwana alikuwa ameona jinsi kila mmoja katika Israeli, awe mtumwa au aliye huru, alivyoteseka kwa uchungu; hapakuwepo na yeyote wa kuwasaidia.
27 And the LORD said not that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Kwa kuwa Bwana alikuwa hajasema kuwa atafuta jina la Israeli chini ya mbingu, akawaokoa kwa mkono wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehoashi.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, for Judah in Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yeroboamu, yote aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake ya kijeshi, ikiwa ni pamoja na jinsi alivyorudisha Dameski na Hamathi kwa Israeli, ambayo ilikuwa mali ya Yuda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
Yeroboamu akalala pamoja na baba zake, wafalme wa Israeli. Naye Zekaria mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
