1 Wafalme 16
1 Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani dhidi ya Baasha, kusema:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jehu
2 “Nilikuinua kutoka mavumbini na kukufanya kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli, lakini ukaenenda katika njia za Yeroboamu na kusababisha watu wangu Israeli kutenda dhambi na kunikasirisha kwa dhambi zao.
son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying: Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel, —and yet thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and caused, my people Israel, to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,
3 Basi nitamwangamiza Baasha pamoja na nyumba yake, nami nitaifanya nyumba yako kama ile ya Yeroboamu mwanawe Nebati.
Behold me! consuming after Baasha, and after his house, —and I will deliver up thy house, like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat:
4 Mbwa watawala watu wa Baasha watakaofia mjini na ndege wa angani watajilisha kwa wale watakaofia mashambani.”
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth of his in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat.
5 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Baasha, aliyoyafanya na mafanikio yake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
Now, the rest of the story of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
6 Baasha akalala na baba zake naye akazikwa huko Tirsa. Naye Ela mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, —and, Elah his son, reigned, in his stead.
7 Zaidi ya hayo, neno la Bwana likamjia Baasha pamoja na nyumba yake kupitia kwa nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani, kwa sababu ya maovu yote aliyokuwa ametenda machoni pa Bwana, akamkasirisha kwa mambo aliyotenda, na kuwa kama nyumba ya Yeroboamu, na pia kwa sababu aliiangamiza.
Moreover also, through Jehu son of Hanani the prophet, the word of Yahweh, came against Baasha and against his house, even because of all the wickedness that he had done in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, becoming like the house of Jeroboam, —notwithstanding that he smote him.
8 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na sita wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala huko Tirsa kwa miaka miwili.
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, began Elah son of Baasha to reign over Israel, in Tirzah, [and he reigned] two years.
9 Zimri, mmoja wa maafisa wake, aliyekuwa na amri juu ya nusu ya magari yake ya vita, akafanya hila mbaya dhidi ya Ela. Wakati huo Ela alikuwa Tirsa, akilewa katika nyumba ya Arsa, mtu aliyekuwa msimamizi wa jumba la kifalme huko Tirsa.
Then conspired against him his servant Zimri, captain of half the chariots, —as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk, in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
10 Zimri akaingia, akampiga na kumuua katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda. Kisha Zimri akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme.
And Zimri went in, and smote him and slew him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, —and reigned in his stead.
11 Mara tu alipoanza kutawala na kuketi juu ya kiti cha ufalme, aliua jamaa yote ya Baasha. Hakumwacha mwanaume hata mmoja, akiwa ni ndugu au rafiki.
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha, he left him not even the meanest, —neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
12 Hivyo Zimri akaangamiza jamaa yote ya Baasha, kulingana na neno la Bwana lililonenwa dhidi ya Baasha kupitia nabii Yehu:
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, —according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto Baasha, through Jehu the prophet;
13 kwa sababu ya dhambi zote Baasha na mwanawe Ela walizokuwa wametenda na wakasababisha Israeli kuzitenda, basi wakamkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli kwa sanamu zao zisizofaa.
as to all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, —wherewith they sinned, and wherewith they caused, Israel, to sin, provoking to anger Yahweh God of Israel, with their vanities.
14 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Ela, na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
Now, the rest of the story of Elah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
15 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri akatawala huko Tirsa siku saba. Jeshi lilikuwa limepiga kambi karibu na Gibethoni, mji wa Wafilisti.
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, did Zimri reign, seven days in Tirzah, —but, the people, were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistine.
16 Wakati Waisraeli waliokuwa kambini waliposikia kuwa Zimri alikuwa amefanya hila mbaya dhidi ya mfalme na kumuua, wakamtangaza Omri, jemadari wa jeshi, kuwa mfalme wa Israeli siku iyo hiyo huko kambini.
When therefore the people who were encamped, heard say, Zimri hath conspired, moreover also, he hath smitten the king, all Israel made Omri, general of the army, king over Israel, on that day, in the camp.
17 Ndipo Omri na Waisraeli wote pamoja naye wakaondoka Gibethoni na kuizingira Tirsa.
So Omri, and all Israel with him, went up from Gibbethon, —and laid siege against Tirzah.
18 Wakati Zimri alipoona kuwa mji umechukuliwa, alikwenda ndani ya ngome ya jumba la kifalme na kulichoma moto jumba la kifalme na kujiteketeza ndani yake. Kwa hiyo akafa,
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was captured, that he entered into the citadel of the house of the king, —and burned over him the house of the king, with fire, and died:
19 kwa sababu ya dhambi alizofanya, akitenda maovu machoni pa Bwana na kuenenda katika njia za Yeroboamu na katika dhambi alizofanya na kusababisha Israeli kuzifanya.
because of his sins which he committed by doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —by walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he committed, by causing, Israel, to sin.
20 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Zimri, na uasi alioutenda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
Now, the rest of the story of Zimri, and his conspiracy wherein he conspired, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
21 Ndipo watu wa Israeli wakagawanyika katika makundi mawili, nusu wakamuunga mkono Tibni mwana wa Ginathi ili awe mfalme na nusu nyingine wakamuunga mkono Omri.
Then, were the people of Israel divided, —half the people, were following Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and, half, following Omri.
22 Lakini wafuasi wa Omri wakajionyesha wenye nguvu kuliko wale wa Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Hivyo Tibni akafa na Omri akawa mfalme.
But, the people that followed Omri, prevailed against, the people that followed Tibni son of Ginath; so that, Tibni, died, and, Omri, reigned.
23 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Omri akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala kwa miaka kumi na miwili, sita kati ya hiyo katika Tirsa.
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, began Omri to reign over Israel [and he reigned] twelve years: in Tirzah, reigned he six years.
24 Alinunua kilima cha Samaria kutoka kwa Shemeri kwa talanta mbili za fedha na akajenga mji juu ya hicho kilima, akiuita Samaria, kutokana na Shemeri, jina la mmiliki wa kwanza wa kilima hicho.
And he bought the hill Samaria, of Shemer, for two talents of silver, —and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer lord of the hill—Samaria.
25 Lakini Omri akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana na kutenda dhambi kuliko wote waliomtangulia.
And Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all who were before him;
26 Akaenenda katika njia zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati na katika dhambi zake, ambazo alisababisha Israeli kutenda, hivyo basi wakamkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli kwa sanamu zao zisizofaa.
yea he walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —provoking to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, with their vanities.
27 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Omri, yale aliyofanya na vitu alivyovifanikisha, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?
Now, the rest of the story of Omri, what he did, and his might that he shewed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
28 Omri akalala pamoja na baba zake na akazikwa huko Samaria. Ahabu mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, —and, Ahab his son, reigned, in his stead.
29 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane wa utawala wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omri akawa mfalme wa Israeli, naye akatawala Israeli akiwa Samaria kwa miaka ishirini na miwili.
Now, Ahab son of Omri, began to reign over Israel, in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, —and Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel, in Samaria, twenty-two years.
30 Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya maovu zaidi machoni mwa Bwana kuliko yeyote aliyewatangulia.
And Ahab son of Omri did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and did more wickedly than all that were before him.
31 Kama vile haikutosha kuishi kama Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, akamwoa Yezebeli binti wa Ethbaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni, naye akaanza kumtumikia Baali na kumwabudu.
And it come to pass, as though it had been too light a thing that he should walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and bowed down to him.
32 Akajenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya Baali katika hekalu la Baali lile alilolijenga huko Samaria.
And he reared an altar unto Baal, —in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.
33 Pia Ahabu akatengeneza nguzo ya Ashera na kufanya mengi ili kumkasirisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kuliko walivyofanya wafalme wote wa Israeli waliomtangulia.
And Ahab made the Sacred Stem, —and Ahab did yet more to provoke to anger Yahweh God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
34 Katika wakati wa Ahabu, Hieli, Mbetheli, akaijenga upya Yeriko. Aliweka misingi yake kwa gharama ya mzaliwa wake wa kwanza Abiramu, na kuweka malango yake kwa gharama ya mwanawe mdogo Segubu, kulingana na neno la Bwana alilosema kupitia Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
In his days, did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho, —At the price of Abiram his firstborn, he laid its foundation, and, at the price of Segub his youngest, he set up its doors, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake through Joshua son of Nun.
