2 Kings 17
1 Yn the tweluethe yeer of Achaz, kyng of Juda, Osee, sone of Hela, regnyde in Samarie on Israel nyne yeer.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili wa utawala wa Ahazi mfalme wa Yuda, Hoshea mwana wa Ela akawa mfalme wa Israeli katika Samaria, akatawala kwa miaka tisa.
2 And he dide yuel bifor the Lord, but not as the kyngis of Israel, that weren bifor hym.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, lakini si kama wafalme wengine wa Israeli waliomtangulia.
3 Salmanasar, kyng of Assiriens, stiede ayens this Osee, and Osee was maad seruaunt to hym, and yildide tributis to hym.
Mfalme Shalmanesa wa Ashuru akainuka dhidi ya Mfalme Hoshea, ambaye hapo mbeleni alikuwa mtumwa wake na kumlipa ushuru.
4 And whanne the kyng of Assiriens hadde perseyued, that Osee he enforside to be rebelle, and hadde sent messangeris to Sua, kyng of Egipt, that he schulde not yyue tributis to the kyng of Assiriens, as he was wont bi alle yeeris, `the kyng of Assiriens bisegide hym, and sente him boundun in to prisoun.
Lakini mfalme wa Ashuru akagundua kuwa Hoshea alikuwa msaliti, kwa kuwa alikuwa ametuma wajumbe kwa So mfalme wa Misri, naye hakuendelea kulipa ushuru kwa mfalme wa Ashuru tena kama alivyokuwa anafanya kila mwaka. Kwa hiyo Shalmanesa akamkamata na kumtia gerezani.
5 And he yede thoruy al the lond, and he stiede to Samarie, and bisegide it bi thre yeer.
Mfalme wa Ashuru akaishambulia nchi yote, akapigana dhidi ya Samaria na kuizunguka kwa majeshi miaka mitatu.
6 Forsothe in the nynthe yeer of Osee, the kyng of Assiriens took Samarie, and translatide Israel in to Assiriens; and he puttide hem in Hela, and in Thabor, bisidis the flood Gozam, in the citee of Medeis.
Katika mwaka wa tisa wa Hoshea, mfalme wa Ashuru akaiteka Samaria na kuwahamishia Waisraeli huko Ashuru. Akawaweka huko Hala, na Gozani karibu na Mto Habori, na katika miji ya Wamedi.
7 Forsothe it was don, whanne the sones of Israel hadden synned bifor her Lord God, that ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hond of Farao, kyng of Egipt, thei worschipeden alien goddis;
Yote haya yalitokea kwa sababu Waisraeli walikuwa wametenda dhambi dhidi ya Bwana Mungu wao, ambaye alikuwa amewapandisha kutoka Misri akiwatoa chini ya utawala wa nguvu wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Waliabudu miungu mingine
8 and yeden bi the custom of hethene men, whiche the Lord hadde wastid in the siyt of the sones of Israel, and of the kyngis of Israel, for thei hadden do in lijk maner.
na kufuata desturi za mataifa ambayo Bwana alikuwa ameyafukuza mbele yao, pamoja na desturi ambazo wafalme wa Israeli walizileta.
9 And the sones of Israel offendiden her Lord God bi wordis not riytful, and thei bildiden to hem silf hiy thingis in alle her citees, fro the tour of keperis `til to a strengthid citee.
Waisraeli wakafanya vitu kwa siri dhidi ya Bwana Mungu wao, ambavyo havikuwa sawa. Kuanzia kwenye mnara wa ulinzi hadi kwenye mji wenye maboma walijijengea wenyewe mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu katika miji yao yote.
10 And thei maden to hem ymagis, and wodis, in ech hiy hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis;
Wakaweka mawe ya kuabudiwa na nguzo za Ashera juu ya kila kilima kirefu na chini ya kila mti uliotanda.
11 and thei brenten there encence on the auteris bi the custom of hethene men, whiche the Lord hadde translatid fro the face of hem. And thei diden werste wordis, and thei wraththiden the Lord;
Wakafukiza uvumba kila mahali palipoinuka, kama yalivyofanya yale mataifa ambayo Bwana alikuwa ameyafukuza mbele yao. Wakafanya mambo maovu ambayo yalimghadhibisha Bwana.
12 and worschipiden vnclenesses, of whiche the Lord comaundide to hem, that thei schulden not do this word.
Wakaabudu sanamu, ingawa Bwana alikuwa amesema, “Msifanye mambo haya.”
13 And the Lord witnesside in Israel and in Juda, bi the hond of alle prophetis and seeris, and seide, Turne ye ayen fro youre werste weies, and kepe ye my comaundementis, and ceremonyes, bi al the lawe whiche Y comaundide to youre fadris, and as Y sente to you in the hond of my seruauntis prophetis.
Bwana akawaonya Israeli na Yuda kupitia kwa manabii na waonaji wake wote: “Acheni njia zenu mbaya. Shikeni amri na maagizo yangu, kufuatana na sheria yangu yote niliyowaagiza baba zenu kuitii ambayo niliileta kwenu kupitia kwa watumishi wangu manabii.”
14 Whiche herden not, but maden hard her nol bi the nol of her fadris, that nolden obeie to her Lord God.
Lakini hawakusikiliza, walikuwa na shingo ngumu kama baba zao, ambao hawakumtegemea Bwana Mungu wao.
15 And thei castiden, awei the lawful thingis of hym, and the couenaunt which he couenauntide with her fadris, and the witnessyngis bi whiche he witnesside to hem; and thei sueden vanytees, `that is, idols, and diden veynli; and sueden hethene men, that weren `bi the cumpas of hem; of whiche vanytees the Lord comaundide to hem, that thei schulden not do as also tho hethene men diden.
Walizikataa amri zake, na agano alilokuwa amelifanya na baba zao, na maonyo aliyokuwa amewapa. Wakafuata sanamu zisizofaa, nao wenyewe wakawa hawafai. Wakayaiga mataifa yaliyowazunguka, ingawa Bwana alikuwa amewaonya akiwaambia, “Msifanye kama wanavyofanya,” nao wakafanya mambo ambayo Bwana alikuwa amewakataza wasifanye.
16 And thei forsoken alle the comaundementis of her Lord God, and thei maden to hem twei yotun calues, and wodis, and worschipiden al the knyythod of heuene; and thei seruyden Baal, and halewiden to hym her sones,
Wakayaacha maagizo yote ya Bwana Mungu wao na kujitengenezea sanamu mbili, walizozisubu katika sura ya ndama na nguzo ya Ashera. Wakasujudia mianga yote ya angani, na wakamtumikia Baali.
17 and her douytris thoruy fier, and thei seruyden to fals dyuynyng, and to dyuynyng bi chiterynge of briddis; and thei yauen hem silf to do yuel bifor the Lord, and thei wraththiden hym.
Wakawatoa kafara wana wao na mabinti zao katika moto. Wakafanya uaguzi na uchawi, nao wakajiuza wenyewe katika kutenda uovu machoni pa Bwana, wakamghadhibisha.
18 And the Lord was wrooth greetli to Israel; and he took awei hem fro his siyt, and noon lefte, no but the lynage of Juda oneli.
Basi Bwana akawakasirikia sana Israeli na kuwaondoa kwenye uwepo wake. Ni kabila la Yuda tu lililobaki;
19 But nether Juda hym silf kepte the heestis of `his Lord God, netheles he erride, and yede in the errour of Israel, whiche it wrouyte.
na hata hivyo nao Yuda hawakuzishika amri za Bwana Mungu wao. Wakafuata desturi ambazo Israeli walikuwa wamezianzisha.
20 And the Lord castide awei al the seed of Israel, and turmentide hem, and bitook hem in the hond of rauynouris; til he castide awei hem fro his face,
Kwa hiyo Bwana aliwakataa watu wote wa Israeli; akawatesa na kuwaachia katika mikono ya wateka nyara hadi alipowaondoa kutoka kwenye uwepo wake.
21 fro that tyme in which Israel was departid fro the hous of Dauid, and maden to hem a kyng, Jeroboam, sone of Nabath. For Jeroboam departide Israel fro the Lord, and made hem to do a greet synne.
Alipokwisha kuwatenga Israeli mbali na nyumba ya Daudi, wakamfanya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kuwa mfalme wao. Yeroboamu akawashawishi Israeli waache kumfuata Bwana na akawasababisha kutenda dhambi kuu.
22 And the sones of Israel yeden in alle the synnes of Jeroboam, whiche he hadde do; and thei departiden not fro tho synnes,
Nao Israeli wakadumu katika dhambi zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, nao hawakuziacha
23 til the Lord dide awei Israel fro his face, as he spak in the hond of alle hise seruauntis prophetis; and Israel was translatid fro his lond in to Assiriens til in to this dai.
hadi Bwana alipowaondoa kutoka kwenye uwepo wake, kama vile alivyokuwa ameonya kupitia watumishi wake wote manabii. Hivyo watu wa Israeli wakaondolewa kutoka nchi yao kwenda uhamishoni Ashuru, nao wako huko mpaka sasa.
24 Forsothe the kyng of Assiriens brouyte puple fro Babiloyne, and fro Cutha, and fro Hailath, and fro Emath, and fro Sepharuaym, and settide hem in the citees of Samarie for the sones of Israel; whiche hadden in possessioun Samarie, and dwelliden in the citees therof.
Mfalme wa Ashuru akawaleta watu kutoka Babeli, Kutha, Ava, Hamathi na Sefarvaimu na kuwaweka katika miji ya Samaria badala ya Waisraeli. Wakaimiliki Samaria na kuishi katika miji yake.
25 And whanne thei bigunnen to dwelle there, thei dredden not the Lord; and the Lord sente to hem liouns, that killiden hem.
Wakati walianza kuishi humo, hawakumwabudu Bwana, kwa hiyo akatuma simba miongoni mwao, wakawaua baadhi ya watu.
26 And it was teld to the kyng of Assiriens, and was seid, The folkis whiche thou translatidist, and madist to dwelle in the citees of Samarie, kunnen not the lawful thingis of God of the lond; and the Lord sente liouns in to hem, and lo! liouns sleen hem; for thei kunnen not the custom of God of the lond.
Habari ikapelekwa kwa mfalme wa Ashuru, kusema: “Watu uliowahamisha na kuwaweka katika miji ya Samaria hawajui kile Mungu wa nchi hiyo anachokitaka. Ametuma simba miongoni mwao, ambao wanawaua, kwa sababu watu hawajui anachokitaka.”
27 Sotheli the kyng of Assiriens comaundide, and seide, Lede ye thidur oon of the preestis, whiche ye brouyten prisoneris fro thennus, that he go, and dwelle with hem, and teche hem the lawful thingis of God of the lond.
Ndipo mfalme wa Ashuru akaamuru hivi: “Mtwae mmoja wa makuhani uliowachukua mateka kutoka Samaria ili arudi kuishi humo na awafundishe watu kile ambacho Mungu wa nchi anataka.”
28 Therfor whanne oon of these preestis had come, that weren led prisoneris fro Samarie, he dwellide in Bethel, and tauyte hem, how thei schulden worschipe the Lord.
Basi mmoja wa makuhani ambaye alikuwa amepelekwa uhamishoni kutoka Samaria akaja kuishi Betheli na kuwafundisha jinsi ya kumwabudu Bwana.
29 And ech folk made his god, and thei settiden tho goddis in the hiy templis, whiche the men of Samarie hadden maad, folk and folk in her citees, in whiche thei dwelliden.
Hata hivyo, kila kikundi cha taifa lililoletwa Samaria kilitengeneza miungu yao wenyewe katika miji kadhaa mahali walipoishi, nao wakaiweka mahali pa ibada za miungu ambapo watu wa Samaria walikuwa wametengeneza katika mahali pa juu.
30 For men of Babiloyne maden Socoth Benoth; forsothe men of Cutha maden Vergel; and men of Emath maden Asyma;
Watu kutoka Babeli wakamtengeneza Sukoth-Benothi kuwa mungu wao, watu kutoka Kutha wakamtengeneza Nergali, na watu kutoka Hamathi wakamtengeneza Ashima;
31 forsothe Eueis maden Nabaath and Tharcha; sotheli thei that weren of Sepharuaym brenten her sones in fier to Adramelech and Anamelech, goddis of Sepharuaym.
Waavi wakatengeneza Nibhazi na Tartaki, nao Wasefarvi wakachoma watoto wao kama kafara kwa Adrameleki na Anameleki, miungu ya Sefarvaimu.
32 And netheles thei worschipiden the Lord; forsothe of the laste men thei maden preestis of the hiye thingis, and settiden hem in hiye templis.
Walimwabudu Bwana, lakini pia waliteua aina zote za watu wao ili kuwawakilisha kama makuhani katika mahali pa kuabudia miungu kwenye mahali pa juu pa ibada.
33 And whanne thei worschipiden God, thei serueden also her goddis, bi the custom of hethene men, fro whiche thei weren translatid to Samarie;
Walimwabudu Bwana, lakini pia waliitumikia miungu yao kulingana na desturi za mataifa walikotoka.
34 `til in to present dai thei suen the eld custom; thei dredden not the Lord, nethir thei kepen hise cerymonyes, and domes, and lawe, and comaundement, which the Lord comaundide to the sones of Jacob, whom he nemyde Israel;
Mpaka leo wanashikilia desturi zao za zamani. Hawamwabudu Bwana wala kuzishika hukumu na maagizo, sheria na amri ambazo Bwana aliwapa uzao wa Yakobo, ambaye alimwita Israeli.
35 and he smoot a couenaunt with hem, and comaundide to hem, and seide, Nyle ye drede alien goddis, and onoure ye not outwardli hem, nethir worschipe ye inwardli hem, and make ye not sacrifice to hem;
Wakati Bwana alipofanya Agano na Waisraeli, aliwaamuru akisema: “Msiiabudu miungu mingine yoyote wala kuisujudia, wala kuitumikia wala kuitolea dhabihu.
36 but youre Lord God, that ledde you out of the lond of Egipt in greet strengthe, and in arm holdun forth, drede ye hym, and worschipe ye hym, and make ye sacrifice to hym.
Bali imewapasa kumwabudu Bwana aliyewapandisha kutoka Misri kwa uwezo wake mkuu na kwa mkono wake ulionyooshwa. Kwake yeye mtasujudu na kwake yeye mtatoa dhabihu.
37 And kepe ye the cerymonyes, and domes, and the lawe, and comaundement, which he wroot to you, that ye do in alle daies; and drede ye not alien goddis.
Imewapasa daima kuwa waangalifu kutunza hukumu na maagizo, sheria na amri alizowaandikia. Msiabudu miungu mingine.
38 And nyle ye foryete the couenaunt, which he smoot with you, nether worschipe ye alien goddis;
Msisahau agano nililofanya nanyi, wala msiabudu miungu mingine.
39 but drede ye youre Lord God, and he schal delyuere you fro the hond of alle youre enemyes.
Bali, mtamwabudu Bwana Mungu wenu, kwani yeye ndiye atakayewakomboa kutoka mikononi mwa adui zenu wote.”
40 Forsothe thei herden not, but diden bi her formere custom.
Hata hivyo hawakusikiliza, lakini waliendelea na desturi zao za awali.
41 Therfor these hethene men dredden sotheli God; but netheles thei serueden also her idols, for bothe her sones and the sones of sones doen so, til in to present dai, as her fadris diden.
Hata wakati watu hawa walipokuwa wanamwabudu Bwana, walikuwa bado wakitumikia sanamu zao. Mpaka leo watoto wao na watoto wa watoto wao wanaendelea kufanya kama baba zao walivyofanya.
