1 Athamaki 16

1 Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinya kũrĩ Jehu mũrũ wa Hanani gĩa gũũkĩrĩra Baasha, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,

And a word of YHWH is to Jehu 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 that I have raised you up out of the dust, and appoint you leader over My people Israel, and you walk in the way of Jeroboam, and cause 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 am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the posterity of his house, and have given up your house as the house of Jeroboam 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 eat him who dies of Baasha in a city, and [the] bird of the heavens eats him who dies of his in a field.”

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?

And the rest of the matters of Baasha, and that which he did, and his might, are they not written on the scroll 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.

And Baasha lies with his fathers, and is buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigns in his stead.

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.

And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet a word of YHWH has been concerning Baasha, and concerning his house, and concerning all the evil that he did in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, to be like the house of Jeroboam, and concerning that for which 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 son of Baasha has reigned over Israel in Tirzah, 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.

and his servant Zimri conspires against him (head of the half of the chariots) and he [is] in Tirzah drinking—a drunkard in the house of Arza, who [is] over the house 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 comes in and strikes him, and puts him to death, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead;

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.

and it comes to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on his throne, he has struck the whole house of Baasha; he has not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers, and of 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.

And Zimri destroys the whole house of Baasha, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke concerning Baasha, by the hand of 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.

concerning all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of his son Elah, that they sinned, and that they caused Israel to sin to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, 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?

And the rest of the matters of Elah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll 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 has reigned seven days in Tirzah; and the people are encamping 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.

and the people who are encamping hear, saying, “Zimri has conspired, and also has struck the king”; and all Israel causes Omri head of the host to reign over Israel on 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.

And Omri goes up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they lay siege to 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,

And it comes to pass, at Zimri’s seeing that the city has been captured, that he comes into a high place of the house of the king, and burns the house of the king over himself with fire, and he dies,

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 that he sinned, to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he did, to cause 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?

and the rest of the matters of Zimri and his conspiracy that he made, are they not written on the scroll 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 sons of Israel are parted into halves; half of the people have been after Tibni son of Ginath to cause him to reign, and the [other] half after Omri;

22 No rĩrĩ, arũmĩrĩri a Omuri magĩtooria arũmĩrĩri a Tibini mũrũ wa Ginathu; Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Tibini agĩkua, nake Omuri agĩtuĩka mũthamaki.

and the people that are after Omri are stronger than the people that are after Tibni son of Ginath, and Tibni dies, and Omri reigns.

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 has reigned over Israel twelve years; he has reigned in Tirzah six years,

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.

and he buys the Mount of Samaria from Shemer with two talents of silver, and builds [on] the mountain, and calls the name of the city that he has built by the name of Shemer, lord of the hill—Samaria.

25 No rĩrĩ, Omuri nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩĩhia makĩria ya andũ othe arĩa maarĩ mbere yake.

And Omri does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and does evil above all who [are] 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.

and walks in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, 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?

And the rest of the matters of Omri that he did and his might that he exercised, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

28 Omuri akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo Samaria. Nake mũriũ Ahabu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.

And Omri lies with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigns in his stead.

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.

And Ahab son of Omri has reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of Omri reigns 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.

and Ahab son of Omri does evil in the eyes of YHWH above all who [are] 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.

And it comes to pass, as if it had been trivial—his walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat—that he takes a wife, Jezebel daughter of Ethba‘al, king of the Zidonians, and goes and serves Ba‘al, and bows himself to it,

32 Nĩathondekeire Baali kĩgongona thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Baali ĩrĩa aakire kũu Samaria.

and raises up an altar for Ba‘al in the house of the Ba‘al, which he 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.

and Ahab makes the Asherah, and Ahab adds to do so as to provoke YHWH, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel who have been 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 Beth-Elite has built Jericho; he laid its foundation with Abiram his firstborn, and he set up its doors with Segub his youngest, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
