1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
Wakati huo Abiya mwana wa Yeroboamu akawa mgonjwa sana.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over this people.
Yeroboamu akamwambia mke wake, “amka ujibadilishe, ili wasikutambue kuwa wewe ndiye mke wangu, na uende Shilo, kwa sababu nabii Ahiya yuko huko, yeye ndiye aliyeninea mimi kuwa nitakuwa mfalme juu ya watu hawa.
3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
Uchukue mikate kumi, na kaki na mtungi wa asali, na uende kwa Ahiya. Naye atakuambia kitakachotokea kwa mtoto.”
4 And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Mke wa Yeroboamu akafanya hivyo; akaenda Shilo mpaka kwenye nyumba ya Ahiya. Wakati huo Ahiya alikuwa hawezi kuona, kwa kuwa macho yake yalikuwa yameishiwa nguvu kwa sababu ya umri wake.
5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is] sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself [to be] another [woman].
BWANA akamwambia Ahiya, “Tazama mke wa Ahiya anakuja kutafuta kutaka ushauri toka kwako kuhusiana na mwanae, kwa kuwa ni mgonjwa. Mwambie hivi na hivi, kwa sababu atakapofika atajifanya kuwa ni mwanamke mwingine.”
6 And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another? for I [am] sent to thee [with] heavy [tidings].
Naye Ahiya aliposikia sauti za miguu yake alipokuwa akiukaribia mlango, akasema, “karibu, mke wa Yeroboamu. Kwa nini unajifanya kuwa mtu mwingine? Nimetumwa kwako nikiwa na habaari mbaya.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
Nenda ukamwambia Yeroboamu kwamba BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema, 'Nilikuinua kutoka kati ya watu na kukufanya uwe kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli.
8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do [that] only [which was] right in mine eyes;
Niliugawa ufalme kutoka kwa Daudi na kukupa wewe, lakini bado hutaki kuwa kama mtumishi wangu Daudi, ambaye alizishika amri zangu na kunifuata kwa moyo wake wote, na kufanya kilichokuwa sawa mbele ya macho yangu.
9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
Badala yake, umefanya maovu, zaidi ya wote waliokutangulia. Umetengeneza miungu mingine, na umetengeneza sanamu za kuyeyushwa ili kunikasirisha na kunitupa nyuma yako.
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
Kwa hiyo, tazama, Nitaleta majanga kwenye familia yako; Nitawatupilia mbali watoto wako wote wa kiume katika Israeli, kama ni mtumwa au ni huru, na nitaiondoa familia yako, kama mtu anayechoma mavi mpaka yaishe.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
Yeyote ambaye ni mwanafamilia yako atakayefia mjini ataliwa na mbwa, na yeyote atakayefia shamabani ataliwa na ndege wa angani, kwa kuwa Mimi BWANA, nimesema;
12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
Kwa hiyo inuka wewe mke wa Yeroboamu, na uende nyumbani kwako; na mguu wako utakapokanyaga mjini, yule mtoto wa Abiya atakufa.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found [some] good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
Na Israeli yote itamwombolezea na kumzika. Ni yeye pekee katika familia ya Abiya atakayepelekwa makaburini, kwa sababu ni yeye pekee yake kutoka kwenye nyumba ya Abiya, ambaye BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli alimwona kuwa ni mwema.
14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
Pia BWANA atainua mfalme katika Israeli ambaye ataifutilia mbali familia ya Yeroboamu katika siku hiyo. Leo ndiyo siku hiyo, sasa hivi.
15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
Kwa kuwa BWANA ataishambulia Israeli kama vile majani yanavyotikiswa majini, na ataing'oa Israeli katika nchi hii njema ambayo aliwpa mababu. Atawatawanya hata ng'ambo ya Mto Frati, kwa sababu wamefanya nguzo za Ashera kumkasirisha BWANA.
16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
Ataiacha Israeli kwa sababu ya dhambi ya Yeroboamu, dhambi ambazo ametenda, na kwa hizo ameifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.
17 And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
Kwa hiyo mke wa Yeroboamu akainuka na akaondoka na akaenda mpaka Tirza. Naye alipofika kizingitini kwa nyumba yake, yule mtoto akafa.
18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Isareli wote wakamzika na kumwombolezea, kama vile alivyokuwa ameambiwa kwa neno la BWANA ambalo amelisema kupitia mtumishi wake nabii Ahiya.
19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Na kwa mambo mengine yanayOmhusu Yeroboamu, jinsi alivyopigana vita na jinsi alivyotawala, tazama yameandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.
20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
Yeroboamu alitawala kwa miaka ishirini na mbili naye akalala na babu zake, na Nadabu mwanawe akawa mfalme mahali pake.
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
Sasa Rehoboamu mwana wa Sulemani alikuwa mtawala wa Yuda. Rehoboamu alikuwa na umri wa miaka arobaini na moja alipokuwa mfalme, na akatawala kwa miaka kumi na saba kule Yerusalemu, mji ambao BWANA alikuwa ameuchagua kati ya makabila yote ya Israeli ili aweke jina lake kule. Jina la mama yake alikuwa Naama Mwamori.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Yuda ikafanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA; wakamtia wivu kwa makosa yao, zaidi ya yote ambayo baba zao walikuwa wamefanya
23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
Kwa kuwa walijijengea wenyewe mahali pa juu, nguzo za mawe, na nguzo za Ashera katika kila mahali pa juu na katika kila mti wenye majani mabichi.
24 And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Pia kulikuwepo na ukahaba wa kipagani katika nchi. Walifanya machukizo yaleyale kama wa mataifa yale ambayo BWANA alikuwa amewafukuza kutoka kwa watu wa Israeli.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
Ilitokea wakati wa mwaka wa tano wa mfalme Rehoboamu wakati Shishaki akiwa mfalme wa Misri, akaja kinyume na Yerusalemu.
26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
Akaichukua hazina iliyokuwa kwenye nyumba ya BWANA, na ile hazina iliyokuwa kwenye nyumba ya Mfalme. Akachukua kila kitu; Pia alizichukua zile ngao za dhahabu ambazo Sulemani alikuwa ametengeneza.
27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed [them] unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house.
Mfalme Rehoboamu akatengeneza ngao za shaba mahali pake na akazikabidhi kwa wakuu wa walinzi, ambao walilinda malango ya kuingia kwa mfalme.
28 And it was [so], when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
Na ikawa kila mfalme alipoingia kwenye nyumba ya BWANA, wale walinzi walizibeba na baadaye walizirudisha katika chumba cha walinzi.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Lakini katika mambo mengine kuhusiana na Rehoboamu, na yote yale aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?
30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.
Kulikuwa na mapigano yasiyokoma kati ya nyumba ya Rehoboamu na nyumba ya Yeroboamu.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother’s name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
Kwa hiyo Rehoboamu akalala na mababu zake naye akazikwa pamoja nao katika mji wa Daudi Jina la mama yake alikuwa Naama Mwamori. Abiya mwanawe akawa mfalme mahali pake
