1 Athamaki 16
1 Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinya kũrĩ Jehu mũrũ wa Hanani gĩa gũũkĩrĩra Baasha, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
The LORD’s word came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 “Ndakũrutire kuuma rũkũngũ-inĩ ngĩgũtua mũtongoria wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli, no wee ũkĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu, na ũgĩtũma andũ akwa a Isiraeli meehie, makĩndakaria nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.
“Because I exalted you out of the dust and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins,
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngirie kũniina Baasha na nyũmba yake, na nĩngatũma nyũmba yaku ĩtuĩke ta ĩrĩa ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati.
behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4 Ngui nĩikarĩa andũ a Baasha arĩa magaakuĩra itũũra-inĩ inene, nacio nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ irĩe arĩa magaakuĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ.”
The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”
5 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Baasha, na ũrĩa eekire o na marĩa aahingirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 Baasha akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo kũu Tiriza. Nake mũriũ Ela agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 O na ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinya kũrĩ mũnabii Jehu, mũrũ wa Hanani, gĩkoniĩ Baasha na nyũmba yake, tondũ wa waganu wake wothe ũrĩa eekĩte maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akamũrakaria nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa eekĩte, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũhaana ta nyũmba ya Jeroboamu, o na ningĩ tondũ wa kũmĩniina.
Moreover the LORD’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtandatũ wa Asa, mũthamaki wa Juda, nĩguo Ela mũrũ wa Baasha aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, agĩthamaka arĩ Tiriza mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
9 Nake Zimuri, ũmwe wa anene ake, ũrĩa waathaga nuthu ya ngaari ciake cia ita, agĩciirĩra ũrĩa ekũmũũkĩrĩra. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ela aarĩ Tiriza, akĩnyua njoohi mũciĩ kwa Ariza ũrĩa warĩ mũrori wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kũu Tiriza.
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah;
10 Zimuri agĩtoonya kuo, akĩmũgũtha, akĩmũũraga mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda. Nake agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11 Aambĩrĩria gũthamaka o ro ũguo, na agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene-rĩ, akĩũraga andũ a nyũmba ya Baasha othe. Ndaatigirie mũndũ mũrũme o na ũmwe, arĩ mũndũ wao kana mũrata.
When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He did not leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or his friends.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Zimuri akĩniina nyũmba yothe ya Baasha, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii Jehu gĩa gũũkĩrĩra Baasha.
Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13 Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa mothe Baasha na mũriũ Ela meekĩte na magatũma andũ a Isiraeli mehie, na makĩrakaria Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ wa mĩhianano yao ya kũhooywo ĩtaarĩ kĩene.
for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
14 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Ela na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, Zimuri nĩathamakire kũu Tiriza mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mbũtũ cia ita ciakĩte kambĩ hakuhĩ na Gibethoni, itũũra rĩa Afilisti.
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16 Nao andũ a Isiraeli maarĩ kũu kambĩ makĩigua atĩ Zimuri nĩaciirĩire mũthamaki na akamũũraga. Mũthenya o ro ũcio, marĩ o kũu kambĩ makĩanĩrĩra atĩ Omuri ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa ita nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Omuri na andũ a Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makĩehera Gibethoni na makĩrigiicĩria itũũra inene rĩa Tiriza marĩtahe.
Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Zimuri onire atĩ itũũra inene nĩrĩanyiitwo-rĩ, agĩtoonya gĩikaro-inĩ gĩa kwĩgitĩra kĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, agĩgĩcina na mwaki arĩ kuo thĩinĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩkua,
When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
19 nĩ ũndũ wa mehia marĩa eekĩte, ageeka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na gũthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu o na mehia marĩa eekĩte agatũma Isiraeli meehie.
for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.
20 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Zimuri, o na maũndũ ma ũremi marĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Isiraeli magĩatũkana ikundi igĩrĩ, nuthu ĩmwe makĩrũmĩrĩra Tibini mũrũ wa Ginathu atuĩke mũthamaki, nayo nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ makĩrũmĩrĩra Omuri.
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
22 No rĩrĩ, arũmĩrĩri a Omuri magĩtooria arũmĩrĩri a Tibini mũrũ wa Ginathu; Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Tibini agĩkua, nake Omuri agĩtuĩka mũthamaki.
But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ũmwe wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, nĩguo Omuri aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, ĩtandatũ yayo aathamakire arĩ Tiriza.
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.
24 Nake akĩgũra karĩma ga Samaria kuuma kũrĩ Shemeru na taranda igĩrĩ cia betha, na agĩaka itũũra inene hau karĩma igũrũ, akĩrĩĩta Samaria, arĩĩtanĩtie na Shemeru ũrĩa wakoretwo arĩ mwene karĩma kau.
He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25 No rĩrĩ, Omuri nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩĩhia makĩria ya andũ othe arĩa maarĩ mbere yake.
Omri did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
26 Nĩathiire na mĩthiĩre yothe ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, na mehia-inĩ make marĩa maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli meehie; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩrakaria Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa ngai ciao cia mĩhianano yao ya kũhooywo ĩtarĩ kĩene.
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
27 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Omuri, ũrĩa eekire na marĩa ahingirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 Omuri akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo Samaria. Nake mũriũ Ahabu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
29 Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana wa Asa, mũthamaki wa Juda, Ahabu mũrũ wa Omuri agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli arĩ Samaria mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ.
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Ahabu mũrũ wa Omuri nĩekire maũndũ maingĩ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, makĩria ya mũndũ o wothe wa arĩa maarĩ mbere yake.
Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight above all that were before him.
31 We to kuona onire gwĩka mehia ta ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati arĩ kaũndũ kanini, no-o na nĩahikirie Jezebeli mwarĩ wa Ethibaali mũthamaki wa Asidoni, na akĩambĩrĩria gũtungata na kũhooya Baali.
As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.
32 Nĩathondekeire Baali kĩgongona thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Baali ĩrĩa aakire kũu Samaria.
He raised up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33 Ningĩ Ahabu nĩathondekire gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, na agĩĩka maũndũ maingĩ mooru gũkĩra ũrĩa athamaki othe a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ mbere yake meekĩte ma gũtũma Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli arakare.
Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
34 Ihinda-inĩ rĩa Ahabu, Hieli wa kuuma Betheli nĩacookereirie itũũra rĩa Jeriko. Aahaandire mũthingi wakuo na thogora wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ mũriũ wake wa irigithathi Abiramu, nacio ihingo ciakuo agĩciaka na thogora wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ mũriũ wake Segubu ũrĩa warĩ mũnini, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni.
In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
