Kings IV 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel Azarias the son of Amessias king of Juda began to reign.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Azaria mwana wa Amazia mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka hamsini na miwili. Mama yake aliitwa Yekolia wa Yerusalemu.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all things that Amessias his father did.
Akatenda yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Amazia baba yake alivyofanya.
4 Only he took not away [any] of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Hata hivyo, mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko.
5 And the Lord plagued the king, and he was leprous till the day of his death; and he reigned in a separate house. And Joatham the king's son [was] over the household, judging the people of the land.
Bwana akampiga mfalme kwa ukoma mpaka siku aliyokufa, naye aliishi katika nyumba iliyotengwa peke yake. Yothamu mwana wa mfalme akawa msimamizi wa jumba la mfalme, na akawatawala watu wa nchi.
6 And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Azaria na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
7 And Azarias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Azaria akalala pamoja na baba zake, naye akazikwa karibu nao katika Mji wa Daudi, na Yothamu mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azarias king of Juda Zacharias the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Zekaria mwana wa Yeroboamu akawa mfalme wa Israeli katika Samaria, naye akatawala miezi sita.
9 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, kama baba zake walivyofanya. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
10 And Sellum the son of Jabis [and others] conspired against him, and they struck him [in] Keblaam, and killed him, and he reigned in his stead.
Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Zekaria. Akamshambulia mbele ya watu, akamuua na kuingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
11 And the rest of the acts of Zacharias, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Zekaria yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
12 [This was] the word of the Lord which he spoke to Ju, saying, Your sons of the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel: and it was so.
Kwa hiyo neno la Bwana lililonenwa kwa Yehu likatimia, kwamba, “Wazao wako wataketi juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli hadi kizazi cha nne.”
13 And Sellum the son of Jabis reigned: and in the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Sellum to reign a full month in Samaria.
Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akawa mfalme katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Uzia mfalme wa Yuda, naye akatawala katika Samaria kwa mwezi mmoja.
14 And Manaem the son of Gaddi went up out of Tharsila, and came to Samaria, and struck Sellum the son of Jabis in Samaria, and killed him.
Kisha Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akaenda kutoka Tirsa mpaka Samaria. Akamshambulia Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi huko Samaria, akamuua na kuingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
15 And the rest of the acts of Sellum, and his conspiracy wherein he was engaged, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Shalumu, na mauaji aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
16 Then Manaem struck both Thersa and all that was in it, and its borders extending beyond Thersa, because they opened not to him: and he struck it, and ripped up the women with child.
Wakati ule, akianzia Tirsa, Menahemu alishambulia Tifsa na kila mtu ndani yake, na wale waliokuwa maeneo jirani, kwa sababu walikataa kufungua malango yao. Akaiangamiza Tifsa yote, na kuwapasua matumbo wanawake wote wenye mimba.
17 In the thirty and ninth year of Azarias king of Juda began Manaem the son of Gaddi to reign over Israel in Samaria ten years.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akawa mfalme wa Israeli, akatawala huko Samaria kwa miaka kumi.
18 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 Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
Akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana. Katika wakati wa utawala wake wote, hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
19 In his days went up Phua king of the Assyrians against the land: and Manaem gave to Phua a thousand talents of silver to aid him with his power.
Kisha Pulu mfalme wa Ashuru akaishambulia Israeli. Menahemu mfalme wa Israeli akampa talanta elfu moja za fedha ili amsaidie na kumwezesha katika utawala wake.
20 And Manaem raised the silver [by a tax] upon Israel, even on every mighty man in wealth, to give to the king of the Assyrians, fifty shekels [levied] on each man; and the king of the Assyrians departed, and remained not there in the land.
Menahemu akatoza fedha hizi kwa nguvu kutoka kwa Israeli. Kila mtu tajiri alilazimika kuchanga shekeli hamsini za fedha ambazo alipewa mfalme wa Ashuru. Basi mfalme wa Ashuru akajiondoa na hakuendelea kuikalia nchi.
21 And the rest of the acts of Manaem, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Menahemu na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
22 And Manaem slept with his fathers; and Phakesias his son reigned in his stead.
Menahemu akalala pamoja na baba zake. Naye Pekahia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
23 In the fifties year of Azarias king of Juda, began Phakesias the son of Manaem to reign over Israel in Samaria two years.
Katika mwaka wa hamsini wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Pekahia mwana wa Menahemu akawa mfalme wa Israeli huko Samaria, akatawala miaka miwili.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Pekahia akafanya uovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
25 And Phakee the son of Romelias, his officer, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria in the front of the king's house, with Argob and Aria, and with him [there were] fifty men of the four hundred: and he killed him, and reigned in his stead.
Mmoja wa maafisa wake wakuu, Peka mwana wa Remalia, akafanya shauri baya dhidi yake. Akachukua watu hamsini wa Gileadi pamoja naye, akamuua Pekahia, pamoja na Argobu na Aria, katika ngome ya jumba la kifalme huko Samaria. Kwa hiyo Peka akamuua Pekahia, naye akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
26 And the rest of the acts of Phakesias, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Pekahia na yote aliyoyafanya yameandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azarias king of Juda began Phakee the son of Romelias to reign over Israel in Samaria twenty years.
Katika mwaka wa hamsini na mbili wa utawala wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remalia akawa mfalme wa Israeli huko Samaria, naye alitawala miaka ishirini.
28 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
29 In the days of Phakee king of Israel came Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, and took Ain, and Abel, and Thamaacha, and Anioch, and Kenez, and Asor, and Galaa, and Galilee, [even] all the land of Nephthali, and carried them away to the Assyrians.
Wakati wa utawala wa Peka mfalme wa Israeli, Tiglath-Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru alikuja na kuteka Iyoni, Abel-Beth-Maaka, Yanoa, Kedeshi na Hazori. Akateka miji ya Gileadi na Galilaya, pamoja na nchi yote ya Naftali, na kuwahamishia watu wote Ashuru.
30 And Osee son of Ela formed a conspiracy against Phakee the son of Romelias, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Joatham the son of Azarias.
Kisha Hoshea mwana wa Ela akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Peka mwana wa Remalia. Akamshambulia na kumuua, kisha akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yothamu mwana wa Uzia.
31 And the rest of the acts of Phakee, and all that he did, behold, these [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Peka na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
32 In the second year of Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel began Joatham the son of Azarias king of Juda to reign.
Katika mwaka wa pili wa utawala wa Peka mwana wa Remalia mfalme wa Israeli, Yothamu mwana wa Uzia mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
33 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa daughter of Sadoc.
Alikuwa na miaka ishirini na mitano alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka kumi na sita. Mama yake aliitwa Yerusha binti Sadoki.
34 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all things that his father Azarias did.
Akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Uzia baba yake alivyokuwa amefanya.
35 Nevertheless he took not away the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. He built the upper gate of the Lord's house.
Hata hivyo, mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko. Yothamu akajenga upya Lango la Juu la Hekalu la Bwana.
36 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yothamu na yale aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
37 In those days the Lord began to send forth against Juda Raasson king of Syria, and Phakee son of Romelias.
(Katika siku hizo, Bwana akaanza kuwatuma Resini mfalme wa Aramu na Peka mwana wa Remalia dhidi ya Yuda.)
38 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
Yothamu akalala na baba zake, akazikwa pamoja nao katika Mji wa Daudi, mji wa baba zake. Naye Ahazi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
