2 Wafalme 10

1 Wakati huu katika Samaria walikuwepo wana sabini wa nyumba ya Ahabu. Kwa hiyo Yehu akaandika barua na kuzituma Samaria: kwa maafisa wa Yezreeli, kwa wazee, na kwa walezi wa watoto wa Ahabu. Akasema,

and to/for Ahab seventy son: child in/on/with Samaria and to write Jehu scroll: document and to send: depart Samaria to(wards) ruler Jezreel [the] old: elder and to(wards) [the] be faithful Ahab to/for to say

2 “Mara tu barua hii itakapokufikia, kwa kuwa wana wa bwana wako wapo pamoja nawe, nawe una magari ya vita na farasi, mji wenye ngome na silaha,

and now (in/on/with to come (in): come *LB(ah)*) [the] scroll: document [the] this to(wards) you and with you son: child lord your and with you [the] chariot and [the] horse and city fortification and [the] weapon

3 mchague mwenye uwezo zaidi kati ya wana wa bwana wako, na umweke juu ya kiti cha enzi cha baba yake. Kisha upigane kwa ajili ya nyumba ya bwana wako.”

and to see: select [the] pleasant and [the] upright from son: child lord your and to set: make upon throne father his and to fight upon house: household lord your

4 Lakini wakaogopa sana na kusema, “Ikiwa wafalme wawili hawakuweza kupambana na Yehu, sisi tutawezaje?”

and to fear much much and to say behold two [the] king not to stand: stand to/for face: before his and how? to stand: stand we

5 Basi msimamizi wa jumba la mfalme, mtawala wa mji, na wazee na walezi wakatuma ujumbe huu kwa Yehu: “Sisi tu watumishi wako, na tutafanya kila kitu utakachosema. Hatutamteuwa mtu yeyote kuwa mfalme. Wewe fanya uonalo kuwa ni bora.”

and to send: depart which upon [the] house: home and which upon [the] city and [the] old: elder and [the] be faithful to(wards) Jehu to/for to say servant/slave your we and all which to say to(wards) us to make: do not to reign man: anyone [the] pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance your to make: do

6 Kisha Yehu akawaandikia barua ya pili, akisema, “Ikiwa ninyi mko upande wangu na mtanitii mimi, twaeni vichwa vya wana wa bwana wenu, na mnijie huku Yezreeli kesho wakati kama huu.” Wakati huo wana sabini wa mfalme walikuwa wakiishi pamoja na viongozi wa mji wa Samaria, waliokuwa wakiwalea.

and to write to(wards) them scroll: document second to/for to say if to/for me you(m. p.) and to/for voice: message my you(m. p.) to hear: obey to take: take [obj] head human son: child lord your and to come (in): come to(wards) me like/as time tomorrow Jezreel [to] and son: child [the] king seventy man with great: large [the] city to magnify [obj] them

7 Hiyo barua ilipowafikia, watu hawa wakawachukua wale wana sabini wa mfalme na kuwachinja wote. Wakaweka vichwa vyao ndani ya makapu na kumpelekea Yehu huko Yezreeli.

and to be like/as to come (in): come [the] scroll: document to(wards) them and to take: take [obj] son: child [the] king and to slaughter seventy man and to set: put [obj] head their in/on/with pot and to send: depart to(wards) him Jezreel [to]

8 Mjumbe alipofika, akamwambia Yehu, “Wameleta vichwa vya wana wa mfalme.” Ndipo Yehu akaagiza, “Viwekeni malundo mawili katika ingilio la lango la mji mpaka asubuhi.”

and to come (in): come [the] messenger and to tell to/for him to/for to say to come (in): bring head son: child [the] king and to say to set: put [obj] them two heap entrance [the] gate till [the] morning

9 Asubuhi yake, Yehu akatoka nje. Akasimama mbele ya watu wote na akasema, “Hamna hatia. Ni mimi niliyefanya shauri baya dhidi ya bwana wangu na kumuua, lakini ni nani aliyewaua wote hawa?

and to be in/on/with morning and to come out: come and to stand: stand and to say to(wards) all [the] people righteous you(m. p.) behold I to conspire upon lord my and to kill him and who? to smite [obj] all these

10 Fahamuni basi kwamba, hakuna neno ambalo Bwana amesema dhidi ya nyumba ya Ahabu ambalo halitatimia. Bwana amefanya lile aliloahidi kupitia mtumishi wake Eliya.”

to know then for not to fall: fall from word LORD land: country/planet [to] which to speak: speak LORD upon house: household Ahab and LORD to make: do [obj] which to speak: speak in/on/with hand: by servant/slave his Elijah

11 Hivyo Yehu akaua kila mtu huko Yezreeli aliyekuwa amebaki wa nyumba ya Ahabu, ikiwa ni pamoja na wakuu wake, rafiki zake wa karibu, na makuhani wake. Hakuacha yeyote anusurike.

and to smite Jehu [obj] all [the] to remain to/for house: household Ahab in/on/with Jezreel and all great: large his and to know his and priest his till lest to remain to/for him survivor

12 Kisha Yehu akaondoka kuelekea Samaria. Alipokuwa njiani karibu na nyumba ya kukatia manyoya ya kondoo, yaani, Beth-Ekedi ya wachunga kondoo,

and to arise: rise and to come (in): come and to go: went Samaria he/she/it Beth-eked Beth-eked House of Shepherds in/on/with way: journey

13 Yehu akakutana na watu wa jamaa ya Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, akauliza, “Ninyi ni nani?” Wao wakasema, “Sisi ni jamaa ya Ahazia, nasi tumeshuka kuwasalimu jamaa ya mfalme na ya mama malkia.”

and Jehu to find [obj] brother: male-relative Ahaziah king Judah and to say who? you(m. p.) and to say brother: male-relative Ahaziah we and to go down to/for peace: greeting son: child [the] king and son: child [the] queen

14 Yehu akaagiza, “Wakamateni wakiwa hai!” Kwa hiyo wakawachukua wakiwa hai, watu arobaini na wawili, na kuwachinja kando ya kisima cha Beth-Ekedi. Hakuacha yeyote anusurike.

and to say to capture them alive and to capture them alive and to slaughter them to(wards) pit Beth-eked Beth-eked forty and two man and not to remain man: anyone from them

15 Baada ya kuondoka hapo, alimkuta Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, aliyekuwa akienda kumlaki. Yehu akamsalimu na kusema, “Je, moyo wako ni mnyofu kwangu kama moyo wangu ulivyo kwako?” Yehonadabu akajibu, “Ndiyo.” Yehu akasema, “Kama ndivyo, nipe mkono wako.” Yeye akampa mkono, naye Yehu akampandisha kwenye gari lake la vita.

and to go: went from there and to find [obj] Jonadab son: child Rechab to/for to encounter: meet him and to bless him and to say to(wards) him there with heart your upright like/as as which heart my with heart your and to say Jonadab there and there to give: give [emph?] [obj] hand your and to give: give hand his and to ascend: rise him to(wards) him to(wards) [the] chariot

16 Yehu akasema, “Twende pamoja ukaone wivu wangu kwa ajili ya Bwana.” Hivyo wakasafiri pamoja kwenye gari lake.

and to say to go: come [emph?] with me and to see: see in/on/with jealousy my to/for LORD and to ride [obj] him in/on/with chariot his

17 Yehu alipofika Samaria, akawaua wale wote waliokuwa wamesalia wa jamaa ya Ahabu, akawaangamiza, sawasawa na neno la Bwana alilosema kupitia Eliya.

and to come (in): come Samaria and to smite [obj] all [the] to remain to/for Ahab in/on/with Samaria till to destroy him like/as word LORD which to speak: speak to(wards) Elijah

18 Kisha Yehu akawaleta watu wote pamoja na kuwaambia, “Ahabu alimtumikia Baali kidogo. Lakini Yehu atamtumikia zaidi.

and to gather Jehu [obj] all [the] people and to say to(wards) them Ahab to serve: minister [obj] [the] Baal little Jehu to serve: minister him to multiply

19 Sasa waiteni manabii wote wa Baali, watumishi wake wote na makuhani wake wote. Hakikisheni kwamba hakuna hata mmoja atakayekosekana, kwa sababu ninakwenda kutoa kafara kubwa sana kwa Baali. Yeyote atakayeshindwa kuja hataendelea kuishi.” Lakini Yehu alifanya hivyo kwa hila ili apate kuwaangamiza watumishi wote wa Baali.

and now all prophet [the] Baal all to serve: minister him and all priest his to call: call to to(wards) me man: anyone not to reckon: missing for sacrifice great: large to/for me to/for Baal all which to reckon: missing not to live and Jehu to make: do in/on/with cunning because to perish [obj] to serve: minister [the] Baal

20 Yehu akasema, “Itisheni kusanyiko kwa heshima ya Baali.” Basi wakatangaza jambo hilo.

and to say Jehu to consecrate: consecate assembly to/for Baal and to call: call out

21 Kisha Yehu akapeleka ujumbe katika Israeli yote, nao watumishi wote wa Baali wakaja, hakuna hata mmoja ambaye hakufika. Wakasongana ndani ya hekalu la Baali hadi likajaa tangu mlango hadi mwisho wake.

and to send: depart Jehu in/on/with all Israel and to come (in): come all to serve: minister [the] Baal and not to remain man: anyone which not to come (in): come and to come (in): come house: home [the] Baal and to fill house: home [the] Baal lip: edge to/for lip: edge

22 Naye Yehu akamwambia yule aliyekuwa mtunza chumba cha mavazi, “Leta majoho kwa ajili ya watumishi wote wa Baali.” Basi akawaletea majoho.

and to say to/for which upon [the] apparel to come out: send clothing to/for all to serve: minister [the] Baal and to come out: send to/for them [the] garment

23 Kisha Yehu na Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu wakaingia ndani ya hekalu la Baali. Yehu akawaambia watumishi wa Baali, “Tazameni kila mahali mhakikishe kwamba hakuna hata mtumishi mmoja wa Bwana aliye hapa pamoja nanyi, ila ni watumishi wa Baali tu.”

and to come (in): come Jehu and Jonadab son: child Rechab house: home [the] Baal and to say to/for to serve: minister [the] Baal to search and to see: see lest there here with you from servant/slave LORD that if: except if: except to serve: minister [the] Baal to/for alone them

24 Kwa hiyo wakaingia ndani ili kutoa kafara na sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Wakati huu, Yehu alikuwa amewaweka watu wake themanini akiwa amewapa onyo kwamba, “Ikiwa mmoja wenu atamwachia mtu yeyote ninayemweka mikononi mwake atoroke, itakuwa uhai wako kwa uhai wake.”

and to come (in): come to/for to make: offer sacrifice and burnt offering and Jehu to set: put to/for him in/on/with outside eighty man and to say [the] man which to escape from [the] human which I to come (in): come upon hand: power your soul: life his underneath: instead soul: life his

25 Mara baada ya Yehu kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa, akawaamuru walinzi na maafisa: “Ingieni ndani, waueni; asitoroke hata mmoja.” Basi wakawakatakata kwa upanga. Walinzi na maafisa wakazitupa zile maiti nje, kisha wakaingia mahali pa ndani pa kuabudia miungu katika hekalu la Baali.

and to be like/as to end: finish he to/for to make: offer [the] burnt offering and to say Jehu to/for to run: guard and to/for officer to come (in): come to smite them man: anyone not to come out: come and to smite them to/for lip: edge sword and to throw [the] to run: guard and [the] officer and to go: went till city house: home [the] Baal

26 Wakaileta ile nguzo ya kuabudiwa nje ya hekalu la Baali, na wakaichoma moto.

and to come out: send [obj] pillar house: home [the] Baal and to burn her

27 Wakabomoa ile nguzo ya kuabudiwa ya Baali pamoja na hekalu la Baali, nao watu wakapafanya kuwa choo hadi leo.

and to tear [obj] pillar [the] Baal and to tear [obj] house: home [the] Baal and to set: make him (to/for going forth *Q(K)*) till [the] day: today

28 Kwa hiyo Yehu akaangamiza kuabudiwa kwa Baali katika Israeli.

and to destroy Jehu [obj] [the] Baal from Israel

29 Hata hivyo, Yehu hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuzitenda, yaani kuabudu ndama za dhahabu huko Betheli ya Dani.

except sin Jeroboam son: child Nebat which to sin [obj] Israel not to turn aside: turn aside Jehu from after them calf [the] gold which Bethel Bethel and which in/on/with Dan

30 Bwana akamwambia Yehu, “Kwa kuwa umefanya vyema kwa kutimiza yaliyo sawa machoni pangu, na umetenda kwa nyumba ya Ahabu yale yote niliyokuwa nimekusudia kutenda, wazao wako wataketi juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli hadi kizazi cha nne.”

and to say LORD to(wards) Jehu because which be pleasing to/for to make: do [the] upright in/on/with eye: appearance my like/as all which in/on/with heart my to make: do to/for house: household Ahab son: descendant/people fourth to dwell to/for you upon throne Israel

31 Lakini Yehu hakuwa mwangalifu kushika sheria za Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kwa moyo wake wote. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu, ambazo alikuwa amesababisha Israeli kuzitenda.

and Jehu not to keep: careful to/for to go: walk in/on/with instruction LORD God Israel in/on/with all heart his not to turn aside: turn aside from upon sin Jeroboam which to sin [obj] Israel

32 Katika siku hizo, Bwana akaanza kupunguza ukubwa wa Israeli. Hazaeli akawashinda Waisraeli sehemu zote za nchi yao

in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) to profane/begin: begin LORD to/for to cut off in/on/with Israel and to smite them Hazael in/on/with all border: area Israel

33 mashariki ya Yordani, katika nchi yote ya Gileadi (eneo la Gadi, Reubeni na Manase), kutoka Aroeri karibu na Bonde la Arnoni kupitia Gileadi hadi Bashani.

from [the] Jordan east [the] sun [obj] all land: country/planet [the] Gilead [the] Gad and [the] Reubenite and [the] Manassite from Aroer which upon torrent: valley Arnon and [the] Gilead and [the] Bashan

34 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yehu, yote aliyofanya na mafanikio yake yote, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli?

and remainder word: deed Jehu and all which to make: do and all might his not they(masc.) to write upon scroll: book Chronicles [the] day to/for king Israel

35 Yehu akalala pamoja na baba zake, naye akazikwa huko Samaria. Naye Yehoahazi mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.

and to lie down: be dead Jehu with father his and to bury [obj] him in/on/with Samaria and to reign Jehoahaz son: child his underneath: instead him

36 Muda Yehu aliotawala juu ya Israeli huko Samaria ilikuwa miaka ishirini na minane.

and [the] day which to reign Jehu upon Israel twenty and eight year in/on/with Samaria
