2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram [the] son of Ahab he became king over Israel in Samaria in year eight-teen of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah and he reigned two [plus] ten year[s].
Basi katika mwaka wa kumi na nane wa Yehoshefati mfalme wa Yuda, Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu alianza kutawala juu ta Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka kumi na miwili.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like father his and like mother his and he removed [the] sacred pillar of Baal which he had made father his.
Alifanya yaliyo maovo usoni kwa Yahwe, lakini si kama baba yake na mama yake; kwa kuwa aliiondoa ile nguzo ya mungu wa Baali ambayo baba yake aliitengeneza.
3 Only to [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel he clung not he turned aside from it.
Hata hivyo alishikilia dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi; wala hakuziacha mbali nao.
4 And Mesha [the] king of Moab he was a sheep-breeder and he returned to [the] king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams wool.
Basi Mesha mfalme wa Moabu alifuga kondoo. Alikuwa akimpatia mfalme wa Israeli kondoo 100, 000 na manyoya ya kondoo dume 100, 000.
5 And it was when died Ahab and he rebelled [the] king of Moab against [the] king of Israel.
Ila baada ya Ahabu kufa, yule mfalme wa Moabu aliasi dhidi ya mfalme wa Israeli.
6 And he went out the king Jehoram on the day that from Samaria and he mustered all Israel.
Hivyo Mfalme Joramu alikaondoka Samaria katika muda huo kuwahamasisha Waisraeli wote kwa ajili ya vita.
7 And he went and he sent to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah saying [the] king of Moab he has rebelled against me ¿ will you go with me against Moab for battle and he said I will go up as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.
Akatuma mjumbe kwa Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda, akisema, “Mfalme wa Moabu ameasi dhidi yangu. Je mtakwenda pamoja nami kupigana dhidi ya Moabu?” Yehoshafati akajibu, “Nitaenda. Mimi ni kama wewe, watu wangu ni kama watu wako, farasi wangu ni kama farasi wako.”
8 And he said where? this [is] the way [which] we will go up and he said [the] way of [the] wilderness of Edom.
Ndipo akasema, “Tutawashambulia kwa njia gani?” Yehoshafati akajibu, “Kwa njia ya jangwa la Edemu.
9 And he went [the] king of Israel and [the] king of Judah and [the] king of Edom and they went around a journey of seven days and not it belonged water to the army and to the animal[s] which [was] at feet their.
Hivyo huyo mfalme wa Israeli, Yuda, na Edomu wakazunguka kwa mda wa siku saba. Hapakuwa na maji kwa ajili ya jeshi lao, wala kwa farasi au wanyama.
10 And he said [the] king of Israel alas! for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Basi mfalme wa Israeli akasema, “Hii ni nini? Yahwe amewaita wafalme watatu ili kutekwa mikononi mwa Moabu?”
11 And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh and let us consult Yahweh from him and he answered one from [the] servants of [the] king of Israel and he said [is] here Elisha [the] son of Shaphat who he poured water on [the] hands of Elijah.
Lakini Yehoshafati akasema, “je hakuna nabii wa Yahwe, ambaye tunaweza kufanya shauri kuhusu Yahwe kupitia yeye?” Mtumishi mmoja wa wafalme wa Israeli akajibu na kusema, “Elisha mwana wa Shafati yuko hapa, ambaye alikuwa akimimina maji kwenye mikono ya Eliya.”
12 And he said Jehoshaphat there him [is] [the] word of Yahweh and they went down to him [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and [the] king of Edom.
Yehoshafati akasema, “Neno la Yahwe liko pamoja nami.” Hivyo mfalme wa Israeli, Yehoshaphati, na mfalme wa Edomu wakashuka chini kwenda kwake.
13 And he said Elisha to [the] king of Israel what? [is] to me and to you go to [the] prophets of father your and to [the] prophets of mother your and he said to him [the] king of Israel may not [it be so] for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Elisha akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Nifanye nini kwa ajili yako? Nenda kwa manabii wa baba na mama yako.” Ndipo mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia, “Hapana, kwa sababu Yahwe amewaita hawa wafalme watatu pamoja ili kuruhusu jeshi la Moabu liwateke.”
14 And he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for if not [the] face of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah I [am] lifting up if I will look to you and if I will see you.
Elisha akajibu, “Kama Yawhe wa majeshi aishivo, ambaye nimesimama mbele zake, hakika kama nisingemheshimu uwepo wa Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yeda, Nisingevuta usikivu kwako, au hata kukutazama.
15 And now fetch for me a musician and it was when played the musician and it was on him [the] hand of Yahweh.
Lakini sasa niletee mwanamuziki.” Ndipo alipokuja mpiga muziki alipocheza, mkono wa Yahwe ukaja juu ya Elisha.
16 And he said thus he says Yahweh make the wadi this ditches - ditches.
Akasema, “'Yahwe asema hivi, 'Fanya hili bonde la mto mkavu lijae mahandaki.'
17 For thus - he says Yahweh not you will see wind and not you will see rain and the wadi that it will be filled water and you will drink you and livestock your and animal[s] your.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe asema hivi, 'Hutaona upepo, wala hamtaona mvua, bali hili bonde la mto litajaa maji, na mtakunywa, ninyi na mifugo yenu na wanyama wenu wote.'
18 And it will be trifling this in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will give Moab in hand your.
Hiki ni kitu rahisi usoni mwa Yahwe. Pia atawapa ushindi juu ya hao Wamoabu.
19 And you will strike down every city of fortification and every city of choice and every tree good you will make fall and all [the] springs of water you will stop up and every portion of land good you will spoil with stones.
Mtaiteka kila ngome ya mji na kila mji mzuri, kukata kila mti mzuri, kusimamisha chemichemi zote za maji, na kuharibu kila sehemu nzuri ya nchi na miamba.”
20 And it was in the morning when went up the offering and there! waters [were] coming from [the] direction of Edom and it was filled the land the waters.
Hivyo asubuhi karibia na mda wa kutoa sadaka ya kuteketeza, yakaja maji kutoka uelekeo wa Edomu; nchi ikajaa maji.
21 And all Moab they had heard that they had come up the kings to fight against them and they were summoned from every [one who] girds on a belt and up-wards and they took their stand at the border.
Ndipo wakati Wamoabu wote waliposikia kwamba wafalme wamekuja kupigana dhidi yao, walikusanyika pamoja, wote waliotakiwa kubeba silaha, na wakasimama mpakani.
22 And they rose early in the morning and the sun it shone on the water and they saw Moab from before the water red like blood.
Walitembea asubuhi na mapema na jua likang'aa kwenye maji. Wakati Wamoabu walipoyaona yale maji yaliyowaelekea, yanaonekana mekundu kama damu.
23 And they said [is] blood this certainly they have fought one another the kings and they have struck down each neighbor his and therefore to the plunder O Moab.
Wakatamka kwa hasira, “Hii ni damu! Yamkini hao wafalme wameharibiwa, na wameuna wao kwa wao! Sasa basi, Moabu, ngoja tuende tukawateke nyara!”
24 And they came to [the] camp of Israel and they arose Israel and they struck down Moab and they fled from before them (and they struck down *Q(K)*) it and they struck down Moab.
Wakati walipokuja kwenye kambi ya Israeli, Waisraeli wakawashtukiza na kuwashambulia Wamoabi, ambao walikimbia mbele yao. Hilo jeshi la Israeli waliwakimbiza hao Wamoabu hadi kwao wakiwaua.
25 And the cities they tore down and every portion of land good they threw each stone his and they filled it and every spring of water they stopped up and every tree good they made fall until he left behind stones its in Kir Hareseth and they surrounded [it] the slingers and they struck it.
Waliiharibu miji, na kila aina ya amani ya nchi kila mtu alirusha jiwe mpaka ulipojaa. Walizuia kila chemichemi ya maji na kukata chini miti mizuri yote. Kir-haresethi tu ndiyo ilichwa na mawe yake. Lakini hao maaskari wakawashambulia na makombeo wakiwazunguka na kuishambulia.
26 And he saw [the] king of Moab that it was [too] strong for him the battle and he took him seven hundred man [who] drew a sword to break through to [the] king of Edom and not they were able.
Ndipo Mfalme Mesha wa Moabu alipoona kwamba ameshindwa, alichukua watu hodari wa upanga mia saba pamoja naye kwenda kwa mfalme wa Edomu, lakini walishindwa.
27 And he took son his the firstborn who he will reign in place of him and he offered up him a burnt offering on the wall and it was wrath great towards Israel and they departed from on him and they returned to the land.
Ndipo akamchukua mtoto wake wa kwanza, ambaye angetawala baada ya yeye, na akamuudhi kwa kumtoa kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu ya ukuta. Hivyo, kulikuwa na hasira kubwa dhidi ya Israeli, na hao Waisraeli, na Jeshi la Israeli likamuacha mfalme Mesha na kurudi kwenye nchi yao.
