2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na tatu wa Yoashi mwana wa Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Yehoazi mwana wa Yehu alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka kumi na saba.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe na kufuata dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kuasi; na Yehoazi hakurudi kutoka kwao
3 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, na akaendelea kuwakabidhi kwenye mikono ya Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu na kwenye mikono ya Ben Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli.
4 Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram oppressed them.
Hivyo Yehoazi akamsihi Yahwe, na Yahwe akamsikiliza kwa sababu aliona mateso ya Israeli, vile mfalme wa Shamu alivyokuwa akiwatesa.
5 (The LORD gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
Basi Yahwe akawapa Israeli ulinzi, na wakakimbia kutoka kwenye mikono ya Washami, na watu wa Israeli wakaanza kuishi kwenye nyumba zao kama walivyokuwa kabla.
6 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin; they walked in them. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
Hata hivyo, hawakuziacha dhambi za nyumba ya Yeroboamu, ambaye alisabisha Israeli kuasi, na wakaendelea katika hayo; na huyo Ashera akabaki hivyo katika Samaria.
7 For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
Washami wakamuacha Yehoazi pamoja na waendesha farasi hamsini tu, magari ya farasi kumi, na watembea kwa miguu elfu kumi, kwa ajili ya mfalme wa Shamu alikuwa ameiharibu na kuwafanya kama makapi yaliyopurwa.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kama mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yehoazi, na yote aliyoyafanya na nguvu zake, je hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.
Basi Yehoyazi akalala na mababu zake, na wakamzika katika samaria. Yohoashi mwanaye akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na saba wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda, utawala wa Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoazi ulianza juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka kumi na sita.
11 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in it.
Akafanya yaliyo maovu kwenye uso wa Yahwe. Hakuacha nyuma dhambi zozote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, kwa kuwa aliwafanya Israeli kuasi, lakini alitembea pamoja nao.
12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yehoashi, na yote aliyoyafanya, na shujaa wake ambaye aliyepigana dhidi ya Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, je hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Yehoashi akalala na mababu zake, na Yeroboamu akakalia kiti chake cha enzi cha kifalme. Yehoashi akazikwa katika Samaria pamoja na wafalme wa Israeli.
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen."
Basi Elisha akaugua ugonjwa ambao baadae ulimuua, hivyo Yehoashi yule mfalme wa Israeli akashuka chini kwake na kumlilia juu yake. Akasema, “Baba yangu, baba yangu, haya magari ya farasi ya Israeli na hawa waendesha farasi wanakuchukua!”
15 Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows.
Elisha akamwambia, “Chukua upinde na mishale,” basi Yoashi akachukua upinde na mishale.
16 He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.
Elisha akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Weka mkono wako kwenye upinde,” basi akaweka mkono wake kwenye huo. Kisha Elisha akalaza mikono yake kwenye mikono ya mfalme.
17 He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot." and he shot. He said, "The LORD's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek, until you have consumed them."
Elisha akasema, “Fungua dirisha upande wa mashariki,” basi akalifungua. Kisha Elisha akasema, “Funga”, na akafunga. Elisha akasema, “Huu ndiyo mshale wa ushindi wa Yahwe, huu mshale wa ushindi juu ya Shamu, kwa kuwa utawapiga Washami katika Afeki hadi utakapowaangamiza.”
18 He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped.
Kisha Elisha aksema, “Chukua mishale,” basi Yoashi akaichukua. Akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Piga chini pamoja nao,” na akapiga chini mara tatu, kisha akaacha.
19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram just three times."
Lakini mtu wa Mungu alikuwa na hasira naye na akasema, “Ungelipiga chini mara tano au mara sita. Ndipo ungeipiga Shamu hadi kuiangamiza, lakini sasa utaipiga Shamu mara tatu tu.”
20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Kisha Elisha akafa, na wakamzika. Sasa vikundi vya Wamoabi wakaingia kwenye nchi mwanzoni mwa mwaka.
21 It happened, as they were burying a man, that look, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
Ikawa walipokuwa wakimzika huyo mtu, wakaona kundi la Wamoabi, hivyo wakautupia ule mwili kwenye kaburi la Elisha. Mara yule mtu alipoigusa mifupa ya Elisha, alifufuka na kusimama kwa miguu yake.
22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akawatesa Israeli siku zote za Yehoazi.
23 But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
Lakini Yahwe aliwahurumia Israeli, na alikuwa na huruma juu yao na kushuhulika kwa ajili yao, kwa sababu ya agano lake na Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Hivyo Yahwe hakuwaangamiza, na bado hakuwatupa kutoka kwenye uwepo wake.
24 Hazael king of Aram died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akafa, na Ben Hadadi mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoazi akairudisha kutoka kwa Ben Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli miji ambayo aliichukua kutoka Yehoazi baba yake kwa vita. Yehoashi akamshambulia mara tatu, na akaipata miji ya Israeli.
