2 Nyakati 28
1 Ahazi alikuwa na miaka ishirini alipoanza kutawala. Akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka kumi na sita. Tofauti na Daudi baba yake, hakufanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana.
[was] a son of Twenty year[s] Ahaz when became king he and six-teen year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and not he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh like David ancestor his.
2 Akaenenda katika njia za wafalme wa Israeli, na pia akasubu sanamu kwa ajili ya kuabudu Mabaali.
And he walked in [the] ways of [the] kings of Israel and also molten images he made for the Baals.
3 Akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa katika Bonde la Ben-Hinomu, na kuwatoa wanawe kafara kwa kuwateketeza kwa moto, akifuata njia za machukizo za yale mataifa Bwana aliyoyafukuza humo mbele ya Waisraeli.
And he he made smoke in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom and he burned sons his in the fire according to [the] abominations of the nations which he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
4 Akatoa sadaka na kufukiza uvumba katika mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, juu ya vilima, na chini ya kila mti uliotanda.
And he sacrificed and he made smoke at the high places and on the hills and under every tree luxuriant.
5 Kwa hiyo Bwana Mungu wake akamtia mikononi mwa mfalme wa Aramu. Waaramu wakamshinda, wakachukua watu wake wengi mateka na kuwaleta mpaka Dameski. Tena alitiwa mikononi mwa mfalme wa Israeli, ambaye aliwaua watu wake wengi.
And he gave him Yahweh God his in [the] hand of [the] king of Aram and they defeated him and they took captive from him a group of captives large and they brought [them] Damascus and also in [the] hand of [the] king of Israel he was given and he defeated him a defeat great.
6 Kwa siku moja Peka mwana wa Remalia aliwaua askari 120,000 katika Yuda, kwa kuwa Yuda walikuwa wamemwacha Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao.
And he killed Pekah [the] son of Remaliah among Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in a day one all [were] sons of strength because had forsaken they Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
7 Zikri, askari shujaa Mwefraimu, akamuua Maaseya mwana wa mfalme, Azrikamu mkuu wa jumba la kifalme na Elikana aliyekuwa wa pili kwa mfalme.
And he killed Zikri - warrior of Ephraim Maaseiah [the] son of the king and Azrikam [the] officer of the house and Elkanah [the] second of the king.
8 Waisraeli wakawachukua mateka kutoka ndugu zao, watu wapatao 200,000 hawa wakiwa ni wanawake, watoto wa kiume na wa kike. Wakachukua pia kiasi kikubwa cha nyara, ambazo walirudi nazo Samaria.
And they took captive [the] people of Israel of relatives their two hundred thousand women sons and daughters and also booty much they plundered from them and they brought the booty to Samaria.
9 Lakini kulikuwako huko nabii wa Bwana aliyeitwa Odedi, akaondoka ili kukutana na jeshi liliporejea Samaria. Akawaambia, “Kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu wa baba zenu, aliwakasirikia Yuda, aliwatia mikononi mwenu. Lakini mmewachinja kwa hasira ambayo imefika hadi mbinguni.
And there he was a prophet of Yahweh [was] Oded name his and he went out before the army which was coming to Samaria and he said to them here! in [the] wrath of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your towards Judah he gave them in hand your and you have killed among them in a rage [which] to to the heavens it has reached.
10 Nanyi sasa mnakusudia kuwafanya wanaume na wanawake wa Yuda na Yerusalemu watumwa wenu. Lakini ninyi je, hamna pia hatia ya dhambi mliyotenda dhidi ya Bwana Mungu wenu?
And now [the] people of Judah and Jerusalem you [are] saying to subjugate to [male] slaves and to female slaves for yourselves ¿ not certainly you with you [are] guilt to Yahweh God your.
11 Basi nisikilizeni! Mkawarudishe mateka mliowachukua kutoka kwa ndugu zenu, kwa kuwa hasira kali ya Bwana iko juu yenu.”
And therefore listen to me and return the group of captives which you have taken captive from relatives your for [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh [is] towards you.
12 Ndipo baadhi ya viongozi katika Efraimu, yaani, Azaria mwana wa Yehohanani, Berekia mwana wa Meshilemothi, Yehizkia mwana wa Shalumu na Amasa mwana wa Hadlai, wakakubaliana na huyo nabii, hivyo wakawapinga wale waliokuwa wanawasili kutoka vitani.
And they rose up men some of [the] leaders of [the] descendants of Ephraim Azariah [the] son of Jehohanan Berekiah [the] son of Meshillemoth and Jechizkiah [the] son of Shallum and Amasa [the] son of Hadlai on the [ones who] were coming from the war.
13 Wakamwambia, “Hamna ruhusa kuwaleta hao wafungwa hapa, ama sivyo tutakuwa na hatia mbele za Bwana. Je, mnataka kuongezea dhambi yetu na hatia yetu? Kwa sababu hatia yetu tayari ni kubwa, nayo hasira kali ya Bwana iko juu ya Israeli.”
And they said to them not you must bring the group of captives here for to [the] guilt of Yahweh on us [are] you? saying to add to sins our and to guilt our for much guilt [belongs] to us and burning of anger [is] towards Israel.
14 Hivyo wale askari wakawaacha wale mateka pamoja na nyara mbele ya hao maafisa na kusanyiko lote.
And he left the [man] equipped the group of captives and the plunder before the commanders and all the assembly.
15 Kisha watu waliotajwa kwa majina wakawachukua wale mateka na kutoka zile nyara, wakachukua mavazi wakawavika wale wafungwa wote waliokuwa uchi. Wakawapatia nguo na viatu, chakula na cha kunywa, wakawapa matibabu, wote waliokuwa dhaifu miongoni mwao wakawapandisha juu ya punda, wakawaleta ndugu zao mpaka Yeriko, ndio Mji wa Mitende, kisha wakarudi Samaria.
And they arose the men who they had been designated by names and they took hold on the group of captives and all naked people their they clothed from the booty and they clothed them and they shod them and they fed them and they gave to drink them and they anointed them and they led them on donkeys any [one who] stumbled and they brought them Jericho [the] city of the palm trees beside relatives their and they returned Samaria.
16 Wakati ule, Mfalme Ahazi akatuma wajumbe kwa mfalme wa Ashuru kuomba msaada.
At the time that he sent the king Ahaz to [the] kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Waedomu walikuwa wamekuja tena na kuwashambulia Yuda na kuchukua mateka.
And again [the] Edomites they had come and they had defeated Judah and they had taken captive captive[s].
18 Pia Wafilisti walikuwa wameshambulia miji iliyokuwa chini ya vilima na katika miji ya Negebu ya Yuda. Nao wakawa wametwaa Beth-Shemeshi, Aiyaloni, Gederothi, Soko pamoja na vijiji vyake, Timna pamoja na vijiji vyake, Gimzo pia pamoja na vijiji vyake na kuishi humo.
And [the] Philistines they had made a raid on [the] cities of the Shephelah and the Negev of Judah and they had captured Beth Shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Socoh and daughters its and Timnah and daughters its and Gimzo and daughters its and they dwelt there.
19 Bwana aliishusha Yuda kwa sababu ya Ahazi mfalme wa Israeli, kwa kuwa alikuwa ameongeza uovu katika Yuda na kumkosea Bwana mno.
For he had humbled Yahweh Judah for sake of Ahaz [the] king of Israel for he had allowed lack of restraint in Judah and he had acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness against Yahweh.
20 Hivyo Tiglath-Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru akaja kumtesa badala ya kumsaidia.
And he came on him Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria and he harassed him and not he strengthened him.
21 Ahazi akachukua baadhi ya vitu kutoka Hekalu la Bwana, jumba la kifalme na kutoka kwa wakuu wake na kumpa mfalme wa Ashuru kama ushuru, lakini hilo halikumsaidia.
For he had plundered Ahaz [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and the officials and he had given to [the] king of Assyria and not for help for him.
22 Katika wakati wake wa mateso Mfalme Ahazi akazidi kukosa uaminifu kwa Bwana.
And at [the] time harassed him and he increased to act unfaithfully against Yahweh that the king Ahaz.
23 Akatoa kafara kwa miungu ya Dameski, waliokuwa wamemshinda, kwa kuwa aliwaza, “Kwa kuwa miungu ya mfalme wa Aramu imewasaidia wao, nitaitolea dhabihu ili inisaidie na mimi.” Lakini haya ndiyo yaliyokuwa maangamizi yake na Israeli wote.
And he sacrificed to [the] gods of Damascus which had defeated him and he said that [the] gods of [the] kings of Aram they [are] helping them to them I will sacrifice and they will help me and they they became for him causing overthrow his and all Israel.
24 Ahazi akakusanya pamoja vyombo vya nyumba ya Mungu na kuvivunja vipande vipande. Akafunga milango ya Hekalu la Bwana na kusimamisha madhabahu katika kila njia panda ya barabara za Yerusalemu.
And he gathered Ahaz [the] utensils of [the] house of God and he cut up [the] utensils of [the] house of God and he closed [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars at every corner in Jerusalem.
25 Katika kila mji wa Yuda akajenga mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu ili kutolea miungu mingine kafara za kuteketezwa na kuchochea hasira ya Bwana, Mungu wa baba zake.
And in every city and a city of Judah he made high places to make smoke to gods other and he provoked Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his.
26 Matukio mengine ya utawala wake na njia zake nyingine zote, tangu mwanzo hadi mwisho, zimeandikwa katika kitabu cha wafalme wa Yuda na Israeli.
And [the] rest of matters his and all ways his former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Ahazi akalala na baba zake na akazikwa katika Mji wa Yerusalemu, lakini hawakumleta kwenye makaburi ya wafalme wa Israeli. Naye Hezekia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
And he lay down Ahaz with ancestors his and people buried him in the city in Jerusalem for not they brought him to [the] graves of [the] kings of Israel and he became king Hezekiah son his in place of him.
