2 Kings 15

1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became 'Azaryah, the son of Amazyah king of Judah, king.

Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Azaria mwana wa Amazia mfalme wa Yuda akaanza kutawala.

2 Sixteen years old was he when he became king, and two and fifty years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yecholyahu of Jerusalem.

Azaria alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala, na alitawala kwa mda wa miaka hamsini na mbili katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yekolia, na alikuwa anatokea Yerusalemu.

3 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Amazyahu his father had done;

Alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Yahwe, kama baba yake Amazia alivyofanya.

4 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.

Lakini, mahali pa juu hapakuwa pameondolewa. Watu wakaendelea kutoa sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahala pa juu.

5 And the Lord afflicted the king with leprosy, and he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in the leper-house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, [and] judged the people of the land.

Yhawe akampiga mfalme hivyo basi akawa na ukoma mpaka siku ya kifo chake na alikaa kwenye nyumba ya pekee. Yothamu, mtoto wa mfalme, alikuwa juu ya watu na kuwaongoza watu wa nchi.

6 And the rest of the acts of 'Azaryahu, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Azaria, yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?

7 And 'Azaryah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.

Hivyo Azaria alilala pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi. Yothamu, mtoto wake, akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

8 In the thirty and eighth year of 'Azaryahu the king of Judah became Zechariah the son of Jerobo'am king over Israel in Samaria [for] six months.

Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane mwaka wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Zekaria mwana wa Yeroboamu akatawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria kwa miezi sita.

9 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.

Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe, kama baba zake waliyoyafanya. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kuasi

10 And Shallum the son of Yabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.

Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akafanya njama dhidi ya Zekaria, akamshambulia katika Ibleamu, na kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

11 And the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Zekaria, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

12 This was the word of the Lord which he spoke unto Jehu, saying, Sons of the fourth generation shall sit after thee on the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.

Hili ndilo lililokuwa neno la Yahwe ambalo aliongea na Yehu, kusema, “Kizazi chako kitakaa katika kiti cha Israeli mpaka kizazi cha nne.” Hiyo ikatokea.

13 Shallum the son of Yabesh became king in the nine and thirtieth year of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah; and he reigned for the space of one month in Samaria.

Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akaanza kutawala katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, na kutawala kwa mwezi mmoja tu katika Samaria.

14 Then went up Menachem the son of Gadi from Thirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Yabesh in Samaria, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.

Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akapanda kutoka Tirza kwenda Samaria. Akamshambulia Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi hapo, katika Samria. Akamuua na kuwa mfalme katika mahali pake.

15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Shalumu na njama aliyoifanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio cha wafle wa Israeli.

16 At that time did Menachem smite Thiphsach, and all that was therein, and its territory from Thirzah; because they opened not to him, he smote it; and all the pregnant women therein he ripped up.

Ndipo Menahemu akamshambulia Tifsa na wote waliokuwa pale, na mipaka yote kuzunguka Tizra, kwasababu hawakufungua kwenye mji. Hivyo akaushambulia, na akawapasua wanawake wajawazito wote katika hicho kijiji.

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Menachem the son of Gadi king over Israel, [for] ten years, in Samaria.

Katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akaanza kutawala; alitawala kwa miaka kumi katika Samaria.

18 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, all his days.

Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Katika maisha yake yote, hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.

19 [Then] came Pul the king of Assyria against the land: and Menachem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.

Kisha Pulu mfalme wa Ashuru akaja kinyume cha nchi, na Menahemu akampatia Pulu talanta elfu moja za fedha, hivyo msaada wa Pulu ungeweza kuwa na yeye kuimarisha utawala wa Israeli katika nchi yake.

20 And Menachem exacted the money from all Israel, from all the mighty men of the army, to give to the king of Assyria, fifty shekels of silver from every man; and the king of Assyria then returned and stayed not there in the land.

Menahemu akatoza hii pesa kutoka Israeli kwa kumtaka kila mtu tajiri alipe shekeli hamsini za fedha kwake kumpatia mfalme wa Ashura. Hivyo mfalme wa Ashuru akarudi na hakukaa pale katika ile nchi.

21 And the rest of the acts of Menachem, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Kama kwa mabo mengine yanayomuhusu Menahemu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya waflme wa Israeli?

22 And Menachem slept with his fathers; and Pekachyah his son became king in his stead.

Hivyo Menahemu akalala pamoja na babu zake, na Pekahia mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

23 In the fiftieth year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Pekachyah the son of Menachem king over Israel in Samaria, [for] two years.

Katika mwaka wa hamsini wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Pekahia mwana wa Menahemu akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala kwa muda wa miaka miwili.

24 And he did what is evil m the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.

Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni pa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambazo kwa hizo alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.

25 And Pekach the son of Remalyahu, an officer of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king's house, with the aid of Argob and the Aryeh, and with him were fifty men of the children of the Gil'adites: and he put him to death, and became king in his stead.

Pekahia alikuwa na afisa aliyekuwa anaitwa Peka mwana wa Remalia, ambaye alifanya njama dhidi yake. Pamoja na watu hamsini wa Gileadi, Peka akamuua Pekahia pamoja na Argobu na Arie katika Samaria, katika ngome ya nyumba ya mfalme. Peka akamuua alipomua Pekahia akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

26 And the rest of the acts of Pekachyah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Pekahia, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

27 In the fifty-second year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Pekach the son of Remalyahu king over Israel in Samaria, [for] twenty years.

Katika mwaka wa hamsini na mbili wa Azia mfalme wa Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remalia akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka Ishirini.

28 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.

Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.

29 In the days of Pekach the king of Israel came Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria, and took 'Iyon, and Abel-beth, ma'achah, and Yanoach, and Kedesh, and Chazor, and Gil'ad, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and led them away as exiles to Assyria.

Katika siku za Peka mfalme wa Israeli, Tiglath Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru akaja na kuichukua Iyoni, Abel Beth Maaka, Yanoa, Kadeshi, Hazori, Gileadi, na nchi yote ya Naftali. Akawachukua hao watu hadi Ashuru.

30 And Hoshea' the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekach the son of Remalyahu, and smote him, and put him to death, and became king in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of 'Uzziyah.

Hivyo Hoshea mwana wa Ela akafanya njama dhidi ya Peka mwana wa Remalia. Akaishambulia na kisha kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahali pake, katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yothamu mwana wa Uzia.

31 And the rest of the acts of Pekach, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Peka, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

32 In the second year of Pekach the son of Remalyahu the king of Israel became Jotham, the son of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah, king.

Katika mwaka wa pili wa Peka mwana wa Remalia, mfalme wa Israeli, Yothamu mwana wa Azaria, mfalme wa Yuda akaanza kutawala.

33 Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

Alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini alipoanza kutawala; alitawala kwa muda wa miaka kumi na sita katika Yerusalimu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yerusha; alikuwa binti ya Sadoki.

34 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord: in accordance with all that 'Uzziyahu his father had done, [so] did he.

Yotahmu alifanya yaliyo sahihi usoni pa Yahwe. Alifuata mfano wa yote baba yake Azaria aliyofanya.

35 Nevertheless, the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places. He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord.

Ila, mahali pa juu hapakuchukuliwa. Watu walikuwa wakitio sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahali pa juu. Yothamu akajenga lango la juu la nyumba ya Yahwe.

36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yothamu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je yameandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?

37 In those days began the Lord to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu.

Katika zamani hizo Yahwe akaanza kumtuma dhidi ya Yuda Rezini mfalme wa Sahmu, na Peka mwana wa Remalia.

38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.

Yothamu akalala pamoja na babu zake na akazikwa pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi, babu yake. Kisha Ahazi, mtoto wake, akwa mfalme katika mhali pake.
