1 Kings 16
1 Then came the word of the Lord to Jehu the son of Chanani against Ba'sha, saying,
Neno la BWANA lilimjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani kinyume cha Baasha, likisema,
2 Forasmuch as I lifted thee up out of the dust, and I set thee as prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and hast induced my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger 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 sweep out after Ba'sha, and after his house; and I will render thy house like the house of Jerobo'am 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 Ba'sha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
Mbwa watamla yeyote ambaye anatoka kwa Baasha wanaofia mjini, na ndege wa angani watamla yeyote anayaefia shambani.”
5 And the rest of the acts of Ba'sha, and what he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are 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 Ba'sha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thirzah: and Elah his son became king in his stead.
Baasha akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Tirza, na Ela mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
7 And also by the hand of Jehu the son of Chanani, the prophet, came the word of the Lord against Ba'sha, and against his house, both for all the evil that he did in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, thus being like the house of Jerobo'am; and because he had killed 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 Assa the king of Judah became Elah the son of Ba'sha king over Israel in Thirzah, [for] 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 there conspired against him his servant Zimri, captain of half the chariots, as he was in Thirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was set over the house in Thirzah.
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 Assa the king of Judah, and became king 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 slew all the house of Ba'sha: he left him not a single male, 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 exterminate all the house of Ba'sha, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken against Ba'sha by the agency of 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 Ba'sha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned, and by which they had induced Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger 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, behold, they are 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 Assa the king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Thirzah: and 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 when the people that were encamped heard it said, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: all Israel made 'Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel on 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, and all Israel with him from Gibbethon, and they besieged Thirzah.
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 captured, that he went into the strong-hold of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and he 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 had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to walk in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin which he did, to induce 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 And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracy that he contrived, behold, they are 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 At that time were the people of Israel divided into two parts: one half of the people followed Thibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and the other 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 Thibni the son of Ginath: and Thibni [also] died, and 'Omri became king.
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 Assa the king of Judah became 'Omri king over Israel, [for] twelve years; in Thirzah he reigned six years.
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 mount Samaria, of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the mount, and called the name of the city which he had built, after the name of Shemer, the Lord of the mount, 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him.
Omri akafanya maovu mbele ya BWANA na akafanya yaliyo maovu zaidi kuliko wale waliokuwa kabla yake.
26 And he walked in all the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he induced Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger 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 mighty deeds that he displayed, behold, they are 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 Achab his son became king in his stead.
Kwa hiyo Omri akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Samaria na Ahabu mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
29 And Achab the son of 'omri became king over Israel in the thirty and eighth year of Assa the king of Judah; and Achab 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 Achab the son of 'Omri did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord more than all that had been 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 too light a thing for him to walk in the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, that he took for wife Izebel the daughter of Ethba'al the king of the Zidonians, and went and served Ba'al, 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 erected an altar for Ba'al in the house of Ba'al, which he had built in Samaria.
Akamjengea madhabahu Baali, ambayo alikuwa ameijenga kule Samaria.
33 And Achab made a grove; and Achab did yet more, so as to provoke the Lord the God of Israel to anger, than all the kings of Israel that had been 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 Chiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: with Abiram his first-born laid he the foundation thereof, and with Segub his youngest son set he up the gates thereof, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means 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.
