1 Wafalme 20
1 Wakati huu, Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akakusanya jeshi lake lote. Akifuatana na wafalme thelathini na wawili wakiwa na farasi na magari ya vita, akakwea kuuzingira kwa jeshi Samaria na kuishambulia.

2 Akawatuma wajumbe katika mji kwa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi:
and to send: depart messenger to(wards) Ahab king Israel [the] city [to] and to say to/for him thus to say Ben-hadad Ben-hadad

5 Wale wajumbe wakaja tena na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Ben-Hadadi: ‘Nimetuma kutaka fedha yako na dhahabu, wake zako na watoto wako.

7 Mfalme wa Israeli akawaita wazee wote wa nchi na akawaambia, “Tazama jinsi mtu huyu anavyochokoza! Wakati alipotuma apelekewe wake zangu na watoto wangu, fedha zangu na dhahabu yangu, sikumkatalia.”
and to call: call to king Israel to/for all old: elder [the] land: country/planet and to say to know please and to see: see for distress: harm this to seek for to send: depart to(wards) me to/for woman: wife my and to/for son: child my and to/for silver: money my and to/for gold my and not to withhold from him

and to say to(wards) him all [the] old: elder and all [the] people not to hear: hear and not be willing
9 Kwa hiyo akawajibu wajumbe wa Ben-Hadadi, “Mwambieni bwana wangu mfalme, ‘Mtumishi wako atafanya yote uliyoyadai mwanzoni, lakini dai hili la sasa siwezi kulitekeleza.’” Wakaondoka na kupeleka jibu kwa Ben-Hadadi.
and to say to/for messenger Ben-hadad Ben-hadad to say to/for lord my [the] king all which to send: depart to(wards) servant/slave your in/on/with first to make: do and [the] word: thing [the] this not be able to/for to make: do and to go: went [the] messenger and to return: return him word
10 Kisha Ben-Hadadi akatuma ujumbe mwingine kwa Ahabu, kusema “Miungu iniletee maafa, tena makubwa zaidi, ikiwa vumbi la Samaria litatosheleza konzi moja ya kila mtu ya wale wafuatanao nami.”
and to send: depart to(wards) him Ben-hadad Ben-hadad and to say thus to make: do [emph?] to/for me God and thus to add if to suffice dust Samaria to/for handful to/for all [the] people which in/on/with foot my
11 Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Mwambieni, ‘Yule anayevaa mavazi ya vita asije akajisifu kama yule anayevua.’”
and to answer king Israel and to say to speak: speak not to boast: boast to gird like/as to open
12 Ben-Hadadi alisikia ujumbe huu wakati ambapo yeye na wafalme walikuwa wanakunywa katika mahema yao, na akawaamuru watu wake, “Jiandaeni kushambulia.” Kwa hiyo wakajiandaa kuushambulia mji.
and to be like/as to hear: hear [obj] [the] word [the] this and he/she/it to drink he/she/it and [the] king in/on/with booth and to say to(wards) servant/slave his to set: take and to set: take upon [the] city
13 Wakati ule ule nabii akamjia Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli na kutangaza, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Je, unaona jeshi hili kubwa? Nitalitia mkononi mwako leo, nawe ndipo utajua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
and behold prophet one to approach: approach to(wards) Ahab king Israel and to say thus to say LORD to see: see [obj] all [the] crowd [the] great: large [the] this look! I to give: give him in/on/with hand: power your [the] day: today and to know for I LORD
14 Ahabu akauliza, “Ni nani atakayefanya hili?” Nabii akamjibu, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo watafanya hili.’” Akauliza, “Ni nani atakayeanzisha vita?” Nabii akamjibu, “Ni wewe.”
and to say Ahab in/on/with who? and to say thus to say LORD in/on/with youth ruler [the] province and to say who? to bind [the] battle and to say you(m. s.)
15 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akawaita maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo, wanaume 232. Kisha akawakusanya Waisraeli wote waliobaki, jumla yao 7,000.
and to reckon: list [obj] youth ruler [the] province and to be hundred two and thirty and after them to reckon: list [obj] all [the] people all son: descendant/people Israel seven thousand
16 Wakaondoka wakati wa adhuhuri, Ben-Hadadi na wale wafalme thelathini na wawili walioungana naye walipokuwa katika mahema yao wakilewa.
and to come out: come in/on/with midday and Ben-hadad Ben-hadad to drink drunken in/on/with booth he/she/it and [the] king thirty and two king to help [obj] him
17 Maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo waliondoka kwanza. Wakati huu Ben-Hadadi alikuwa amewatuma wapelelezi, ambao walileta taarifa kusema kwamba, “Askari wanasonga mbele kutoka Samaria.”
and to come out: come youth ruler [the] province in/on/with first and to send: depart Ben-hadad Ben-hadad and to tell to/for him to/for to say human to come out: come from Samaria

and to say if to/for peace to come out: come to capture them alive and if to/for battle to come out: come alive to capture them
19 Wale maafisa vijana majemadari wa majimbo wakatoka nje ya mji jeshi likiwa nyuma yao,
and these to come out: come from [the] city youth ruler [the] province and [the] strength: soldiers which after them
20 kila mmoja akamuua adui yake. Hii ilisababisha Waaramu kukimbia, huku Waisraeli wakiwafuatia. Lakini Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu akatoroka akiwa amepanda farasi wake pamoja na baadhi ya wapanda farasi wake.
and to smite man: anyone man his and to flee Syria and to pursue them Israel and to escape Ben-hadad Ben-hadad king Syria upon horse and horseman
21 Mfalme wa Israeli akasonga mbele na kushinda farasi na magari ya vita na kusababisha hasara kubwa kwa Waaramu.
and to come out: come king Israel and to smite [obj] [the] horse and [obj] [the] chariot and to smite in/on/with Syria wound great: large
22 Baadaye nabii akaja kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Jiandae vizuri ufikirie la kufanya, kwa sababu mwakani mfalme wa Aramu atakuja kukushambulia tena.”
and to approach: approach [the] prophet to(wards) king Israel and to say to/for him to go: come! to strengthen: strengthen and to know and to see: examine [obj] which to make: do for to/for turn [the] year king Syria to ascend: rise upon you
23 Wakati ule ule, maafisa wa mfalme wa Aramu wakamshauri, wakamwambia, “Miungu yao ni miungu ya vilimani. Ndiyo sababu walikuwa na nguvu sana kutuzidi. Lakini kama tukipigana nao katika nchi tambarare, hakika tutawashinda.
and servant/slave king Syria to say to(wards) him God mountain: mount God their upon so to strengthen: strengthen from us and but to fight with them in/on/with plain if: surely yes not to strengthen: strengthen from them

25 Ni lazima pia uandae jeshi jingine kama lile ulilopoteza, farasi kwa farasi, gari la vita kwa gari la vita, ili tuweze kupigana na Israeli katika nchi tambarare. Kisha kwa hakika tutakuwa na nguvu kuliko wao.” Akakubaliana nao naye akashughulika ipasavyo.

26 Mwaka uliofuata, majira kama hayo, Ben-Hadadi akawakusanya Waaramu mpaka Afeki kupigana dhidi ya Israeli.
and to be to/for turn [the] year and to reckon: list Ben-hadad Ben-hadad [obj] Syria and to ascend: rise Aphek [to] to/for battle with Israel
27 Baada ya Waisraeli kukusanywa na kupewa mahitaji, walikwenda kukabiliana nao. Waisraeli wakapiga kambi mkabala nao kama makundi mawili madogo ya mbuzi, wakati Waaramu walienea katika nchi yote.
and son: descendant/people Israel to reckon: list and to sustain and to go: went to/for to encounter: toward them and to camp son: descendant/people Israel before them like/as two little flock goat and Syria to fill [obj] [the] land: country/planet
28 Mtu wa Mungu akaja na kumwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo: ‘Kwa sababu Waaramu wanafikiri Bwana ni Mungu wa vilimani na sio Mungu wa mabondeni, nitatia jeshi hili kubwa mkononi mwako, nawe utajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
and to approach: approach man [the] God and to say to(wards) king Israel and to say thus to say LORD because which to say Syria God mountain: mount LORD and not God valley he/she/it and to give: give [obj] all [the] crowd [the] great: large [the] this in/on/with hand: power your and to know for I LORD
29 Kwa siku saba walipiga kambi wakitazamana na siku ya saba vita vikaanza. Waisraeli wakawajeruhi askari wa miguu wa Waaramu 100,000 kwa siku moja.
and to camp these before these seven day and to be in/on/with day [the] seventh and to present: come [the] battle and to smite son: descendant/people Israel [obj] Syria hundred thousand on foot in/on/with day one
30 Waliobaki wakatorokea katika mji wa Afeki, mahali ambapo watu 27,000 waliangukiwa na ukuta. Naye Ben-Hadadi akakimbilia mjini na kujificha kwenye chumba cha ndani.

31 Maafisa wake wakamwambia, “Tazama, tumesikia kwamba wafalme wa nyumba ya Israeli wana huruma. Twendeni kwa mfalme wa Israeli tukiwa tumevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwetu na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyetu. Huenda akakuacha hai.”
and to say to(wards) him servant/slave his behold please to hear: hear for king house: household Israel for king kindness they(masc.) to set: put please sackcloth in/on/with loin our and cord in/on/with head our and to come out: come to(wards) king Israel perhaps to live [obj] soul: life your
32 Wakiwa wamevaa nguo za gunia viunoni mwao na kamba kuzunguka vichwa vyao, walikwenda kwa mfalme wa Israeli na kusema, “Mtumishi wako Ben-Hadadi anasema: ‘Tafadhali, naomba uniache hai.’” Mfalme akajibu, “Je, bado yuko hai? Yeye ni ndugu yangu.”
and to gird sackcloth in/on/with loin their and cord in/on/with head their and to come (in): come to(wards) king Israel and to say servant/slave your Ben-hadad Ben-hadad to say to live please soul: life my and to say still he alive brother: compatriot my he/she/it
33 Wale watu wakalipokea jambo lile kama dalili nzuri nao wakawa wepesi kulichukua neno lake wakisema, “Ndiyo, yeye ni ndugu yako Ben-Hadadi!” Mfalme akawaambia, “Nendeni mkamlete.” Ikawa Ben-Hadadi alipokuja, Ahabu akampandisha katika gari lake la vita. Ben-Hadadi akajitolea, akisema,
and [the] human to divine and to hasten and to catch from him and to say brother: compatriot your Ben-hadad Ben-hadad and to say to come (in): come to take: bring him and to come out: come to(wards) him Ben-hadad Ben-hadad and to ascend: rise him upon [the] chariot
34 “Nitairudisha ile miji ambayo baba yangu aliiteka kutoka kwa baba yako. Unaweza kuweka maeneo yako ya soko katika Dameski, kama baba yangu alivyofanya huko Samaria.” Ahabu akasema, “Katika misingi ya mkataba, nitakuachilia huru.” Kwa hiyo akaweka mkataba naye, akamruhusu aende zake.
and to say to(wards) him [the] city which to take: take father my from with father your to return: rescue and outside to set: make to/for you in/on/with Damascus like/as as which to set: make father my in/on/with Samaria and I in/on/with covenant to send: let go you and to cut: make(covenant) to/for him covenant and to send: let go him
35 Kwa neno la Bwana, mmoja wa wana wa manabii akamwambia mwenzake, “Nipige kwa silaha yako,” lakini yule mtu akakataa.
and man one from son: child [the] prophet to say to(wards) neighbor his in/on/with word LORD to smite me please and to refuse [the] man to/for to smite him
36 Kwa hiyo yule nabii akasema, “Kwa sababu hukumtii Bwana, mara tu tutakapoachana utauawa na simba.” Na baada ya yule mtu kuondoka, simba akatokea na kumuua.
and to say to/for him because which not to hear: obey in/on/with voice LORD look! you to go: went from with me and to smite you [the] lion and to go: went from beside him and to find him [the] lion and to smite him

and to find man another and to say to smite me please and to smite him [the] man to smite and to wound
38 Ndipo nabii akaenda na kusimama barabarani akimsubiri mfalme. Akajibadilisha kwa kushusha kitambaa cha kichwani mwake hadi kwenye macho.
and to go: went [the] prophet and to stand: stand to/for king (upon *LAB(H)*) [the] way: road and to search in/on/with bandage upon eye his
39 Mfalme alipopita pale, yule nabii akamwita, “Mtumishi wako alikwenda vitani wakati vita vilipopamba moto, mtu mmoja akanijia na mateka akasema, ‘Mlinde mtu huyu. Kama akitoroka itakuwa uhai wako kwa uhai wake, ama vipande 3,000 vya fedha.’

40 Wakati mtumishi wako alipokuwa na shughuli nyingi hapa na pale, yule mtu akatoweka.” Mfalme wa Israeli akasema, “Hiyo ndiyo hukumu yako. Wewe umeitaja mwenyewe.”
and to be servant/slave your to make: do here/thus and here/thus and he/she/it nothing he and to say to(wards) him king Israel so justice: judgement your you(m. s.) to decide
41 Kisha yule nabii akajifunua macho yake haraka, na mfalme wa Israeli akamtambua kama mmoja wa manabii.
and to hasten and to turn aside: remove [obj] [the] bandage (from upon *Q(k)*) eye his and to recognize [obj] him king Israel for from [the] prophet he/she/it
