2 Kings 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah 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 Jecoliah 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 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
Akatenda yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Amazia baba yake alivyofanya.
4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Hata hivyo, mahali pa juu pa kuabudia hapakuondolewa. Watu waliendelea kutoa kafara na kufukiza uvumba huko.
5 The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham 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 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Azaria na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
7 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
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-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he 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 Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him down at Ibleam and put him to death, and reigned in his place.
Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akafanya shauri baya dhidi ya Zekaria. Akamshambulia mbele ya watu, akamuua na kuingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, look, 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 Jehu, saying, "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." So it came to pass.
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 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned for a 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 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him, and reigned in his place.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, look, 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 Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were in it, and its borders, from Tirzah: because they did not open to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women in it who were with child he ripped up.
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 nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.
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 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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 There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
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 Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and did not stay 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 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren't they 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 Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
Menahemu akalala pamoja na baba zake. Naye Pekahia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Pekahia akafanya uovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
25 Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria, in the citadel of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his place.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, look, 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 two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kuzitenda.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel Beth Maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.
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 Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, look, they 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah 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 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
Alikuwa na miaka ishirini na mitano alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka kumi na sita. Mama yake aliitwa Yerusha binti Sadoki.
34 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
Akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, kama Uzia baba yake alivyokuwa amefanya.
35 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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 against Judah Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
(Katika siku hizo, Bwana akaanza kuwatuma Resini mfalme wa Aramu na Peka mwana wa Remalia dhidi ya Yuda.)
38 Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Yothamu akalala na baba zake, akazikwa pamoja nao katika Mji wa Daudi, mji wa baba zake. Naye Ahazi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
