2 Wafalme 16
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na saba wa utawala wa Peka mwana wa Remalia, Ahazi mwana wa Yothamu mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
In year seven-teen year of Pekah [the] son of Remaliah he became king Ahaz [the] son of Jotham [the] king of Judah.
2 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, Mungu wake.
[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 God his like David ancestor his.
3 Akaenenda katika njia za wafalme wa Israeli, na hata akamtoa mwanawe kafara katika moto, akifuata njia za machukizo za mataifa ambayo Bwana alikuwa ameyafukuza mbele ya Waisraeli.
And he walked in [the] way of [the] kings of Israel and also son his he made pass in the fire according to [the] abominations of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh them from before [the] people of Israel.
4 Akatoa kafara 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 Kisha Resini mfalme wa Aramu na Peka mwana wa Remalia mfalme wa Israeli wakaondoka kwenda kupigana dhidi ya Yerusalemu na kumzunguka Ahazi kwa jeshi, lakini hawakuweza kumshinda.
Then he came up Rezin [the] king of Aram and Pekah [the] son of Remaliah [the] king of Israel Jerusalem for battle and they laid siege on Ahaz and not they were able to do battle.
6 Wakati ule, Resini mfalme wa Aramu akaurudisha Elathi kwa Aramu kwa kuwafukuza watu wa Yuda. Kisha Waedomu wakahamia Elathi, nao wanaishi huko mpaka leo.
At the time that he restored Rezin [the] king of Aram Elath to Aram and he cleared out the Jews from Elath (and Edomites *Q(K)*) they came Elath and they have dwelt there until the day this.
7 Ahazi akatuma wajumbe kumwambia Tiglath-Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru kwamba, “Mimi ni mtumishi na mtumwa wako. Njoo na uniokoe kutoka mkononi mwa mfalme wa Aramu na wa mfalme wa Israeli, ambao wananishambulia.”
And he sent Ahaz messengers to Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria saying [am] servant your and son your I come up and deliver me from [the] hand of [the] king of Aram and from [the] hand of [the] king of Israel who are rising up on me.
8 Naye Ahazi akachukua fedha na dhahabu zilizopatikana ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana na katika hazina ya jumba la mfalme, na kuzituma kama zawadi kwa mfalme wa Ashuru.
And he took Ahaz the silver and the gold which was found [the] house of Yahweh and in [the] treasuries of [the] house of the king and he sent [it] to [the] king of Assyria a gift.
9 Mfalme wa Ashuru akamwitikia kwa kushambulia Dameski na kuiteka. Akawahamishia wenyeji wake huko Kiri, na kumuua Resini.
And he listened to him [the] king of Assyria and he came up [the] king of Assyria to Damascus and he seized it and he took into exile it Kir towards and Rezin he put to death.
10 Kisha Mfalme Ahazi akaenda Dameski kukutana na Tiglath-Pileseri wa Ashuru. Akaona madhabahu huko Dameski, naye akamtumia Uria kuhani mchoro wa hayo madhabahu, pamoja na maelezo ya mpango kamili wa ujenzi wake.
And he went the king Ahaz to meet Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria Damascus and he saw the altar which [was] in Damascus and he sent the king Ahaz to Uriah the priest [the] likeness of the altar and pattern its for all work its.
11 Kwa hiyo Uria kuhani akajenga madhabahu kulingana na mipango yote ambayo Mfalme Ahazi alikuwa ameituma kutoka Dameski, na akamaliza ujenzi kabla ya Mfalme Ahazi kurudi.
And he built Uriah the priest the altar according to all that he had sent the king Ahaz from Damascus so he did Uriah the priest until came the king Ahaz from Damascus.
12 Mfalme aliporudi kutoka Dameski na kuona hayo madhabahu, akayasogelea na kutoa sadaka juu yake.
And he came the king from Damascus and he saw the king the altar and he drew near the king to the altar and he offered up on it.
13 Akatoa sadaka yake ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya nafaka, akamimina sadaka ya kinywaji na kunyunyizia damu ya sadaka zake za amani juu ya hayo madhabahu.
And he made smoke burnt offering his and grain offering his and he poured out drink offering his and he sprinkled [the] blood of the peace offerings which [belonged] to him on the altar.
14 Mfalme Ahazi akayaondoa madhabahu ya zamani ya shaba kutoka hapo mbele ya Hekalu la Bwana, yaliyokuwa yamesimama kati ya ingilio la Hekalu na hayo madhabahu mapya, naye akayaweka upande wa kaskazini mwa hayo madhabahu mapya.
And the altar of bronze which [was] before Yahweh and he brought near from with [the] face of the house from between the altar and from between [the] house of Yahweh and he put it on [the] side of the altar north-ward.
15 Ndipo Mfalme Ahazi akatoa amri zifuatazo kwa Uria kuhani: “Juu ya hayo madhabahu kubwa mapya, toa sadaka ya asubuhi ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya jioni ya nafaka, sadaka ya mfalme ya kuteketezwa pamoja na sadaka yake ya nafaka, sadaka ya kuteketezwa ya watu wote wa nchi, pamoja na sadaka yao ya nafaka na sadaka yao ya kinywaji. Unyunyize juu ya hayo madhabahu damu yote ya sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu. Lakini mimi nitatumia hayo madhabahu ya zamani ya shaba kwa ajili ya kutafuta uongozi.”
(And he commanded *Q(K)*) the king Ahaz Uriah the priest saying on the altar great make smoke [the] burnt offering of the morning and [the] grain offering of the evening and [the] burnt offering of the king and grain offering his and [the] burnt offering of all [the] people of the land and grain offering their and drink offerings their and all [the] blood of [the] burnt offering and all [the] blood of [the] sacrifice on it you will sprinkle and [the] altar of bronze it will belong to me to consult.
16 Naye Uria kuhani akafanya kama Mfalme Ahazi alivyoagiza.
And he did Uriah the priest according to all that he commanded the king Ahaz.
17 Mfalme Ahazi akaondoa mbao za pembeni na kuondoa masinia kwenye vile vishikilio vilivyohamishika. Akaondoa ile Bahari kutoka kwenye mafahali wa shaba walioishikilia, na kuiweka kwenye kitako cha jiwe.
And he cut off the king Ahaz the rims of the stands and he removed from on them (*Q(K)*) the laver and the sea he took down from on the ox[en] the bronze which [were] under it and he put it on a pavement of stone.
18 Kwa heshima ya mfalme wa Ashuru, akaliondoa pia pazia la Sabato lililokuwa limewekwa ndani ya Hekalu, na akaondoa ile njia ya kifalme ya kuingia kwenye Hekalu la Bwana.
And ([the] covered structure of *Q(K)*) the sabbath which people had built in the house and [the] entrance of the king outer he removed [the] house of Yahweh because of [the] king of Assyria.
19 Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Ahazi na yale aliyoyafanya, je hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Ahaz which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
20 Ahazi akalala na baba zake, naye akazikwa pamoja nao katika Mji wa Daudi. Naye Hezekia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
And he lay down Ahaz with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David and he became king Hezekiah son his in place of him.
