1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya akawa mfalme wa Yuda,
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka mitatu. Mama yake aliitwa Maaka binti Abishalomu.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
Alitenda dhambi zote baba yake alizotenda kabla yake; moyo wake haukuwa mkamilifu kwa Bwana Mungu wake kama moyo wa Daudi baba yake ulivyokuwa.
4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
Pamoja na hayo, kwa ajili ya Daudi, Bwana Mungu wake akampa taa katika Yerusalemu kwa kumwinua mwana atawale badala yake na kwa kuifanya Yerusalemu kuwa imara.
5 Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Kwa kuwa Daudi alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana na hakushindwa kushika maagizo yote ya Bwana siku zote za uhai wake, isipokuwa katika habari ya Uria, Mhiti.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Rehoboamu na Yeroboamu wakati wote wa maisha ya Abiya.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Kwa habari ya matukio mengine ya utawala wa Abiya na yote aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda? Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Abiya na Yeroboamu.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Naye Abiya akalala na baba zake akazikwa katika Mji wa Daudi. Asa mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Asa akawa mfalme wa Yuda,
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
naye akatawala katika Yerusalemu miaka arobaini na mmoja. Bibi yake aliitwa Maaka binti Abishalomu.
11 And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.
Asa akatenda yaliyo mema machoni mwa Bwana, kama alivyokuwa ametenda Daudi baba yake.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Akawafukuza mahanithi wa mahali pa kuabudia miungu kutoka nchi na kuondoa sanamu zote ambazo baba zake walikuwa wametengeneza.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
Hata akamwondoa bibi yake Maaka kwenye wadhifa wake kama mama malkia, kwa sababu alikuwa ametengeneza nguzo ya Ashera ya kuchukiza. Asa akaikata hiyo nguzo na kuiteketeza kwa moto katika Bonde la Kidroni.
14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
Ijapokuwa hakuondoa mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, moyo wa Asa ulikuwa umejiweka kwa Bwana kikamilifu maisha yake yote.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Akaleta ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana fedha na dhahabu na vile vyombo ambavyo yeye na baba yake walikuwa wameviweka wakfu.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli siku zote za utawala wao.
17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Mfalme Baasha wa Israeli akashambulia Yuda na kuweka ngome mji wa Rama ili kumzuia yeyote asitoke wala kuingia nchi ya Mfalme Asa wa Yuda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were] left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Kisha Asa akachukua fedha yote na dhahabu iliyokuwa imeachwa katika hazina za Hekalu la Bwana na za jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme. Akawakabidhi maafisa wake na kuwatuma kwa Ben-Hadadi mwana wa Tabrimoni, mwana wa Hezioni, mfalme wa Aramu, aliyekuwa akitawala Dameski.
19 [There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
“Akasema na pawepo mkataba kati yangu na wewe, kama ulivyokuwepo kati ya baba yangu na baba yako. Tazama, nimekuletea zawadi ya fedha na dhahabu. Sasa vunja mkataba wako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli ili aniondokee mimi.”
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Ben-Hadadi akakubaliana na Mfalme Asa na kutuma majemadari wa majeshi yake dhidi ya miji ya Israeli. Akaishinda miji ya Iyoni, Dani, Abel-Beth-Maaka na Kinerethi yote, pamoja na Naftali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Wakati Baasha aliposikia hili, akaacha kuijenga Rama na akaenda kuishi Tirsa.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Kisha Mfalme Asa akatoa amri kwa Yuda yote, pasipo kumbagua hata mmoja, kubeba mawe na mbao kutoka Rama, ambazo Baasha alikuwa akitumia huko. Mfalme Asa akazitumia kujengea Geba iliyoko Benyamini na Mispa pia.
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Kwa matukio yote ya utawala wa Asa, mafanikio yake yote, yote aliyofanya na miji aliyoijenga, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda? Katika uzee wake, hata hivyo, alipata ugonjwa wa miguu.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
Kisha Asa akalala pamoja na baba zake na kuzikwa pamoja nao katika mji wa Daudi baba yake. Naye Yehoshafati mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
Nadabu mwana wa Yeroboamu akawa mfalme wa Israeli katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Mfalme Asa wa Yuda, naye akatawala Israeli kwa miaka miwili.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, akienenda katika njia za baba yake na katika dhambi yake, ambayo alisababisha Israeli kuifanya.
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
Baasha mwana wa Ahiya wa nyumba ya Isakari akafanya shauri baya dhidi yake, naye akamuua huko Gibethoni, mji wa Wafilisti, wakati Nadabu na Israeli yote walipokuwa wameuzingira.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
Baasha akamuua Nadabu katika mwaka wa tatu wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye Baasha akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
Mara tu alipoanza kutawala, aliua jamaa yote ya Yeroboamu. Hakumwachia Yeroboamu yeyote aliyekuwa hai, bali aliwaangamiza wote, kulingana na neno la Bwana lililotolewa kupitia kwa mtumishi wake Ahiya Mshiloni,
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
kwa sababu ya dhambi alizokuwa amezitenda Yeroboamu na kusababisha Israeli kuzitenda, tena kwa sababu alimkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Nadabu na yote aliyofanya, je hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli wakati wote wa utawala wao.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha mwana wa Ahiya akawa mfalme wa Israeli yote huko Tirsa, naye akatawala kwa miaka ishirini na minne.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana, akienenda katika njia za Yeroboamu na dhambi yake, ambayo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuitenda.
