2 Wafalme 8
1 Wakati huu, Elisha alikuwa amemwambia yule mwanamke ambaye mwanawe alikuwa amefufuliwa, “Ondoka wewe na jamaa yako ukaishi mahali popote unapoweza kwa kitambo kidogo, kwa sababu Bwana ameamuru njaa katika nchi hii ambayo itadumu kwa miaka saba.”
And Elisha spake unto the woman whose son he had revived, saying, 'Rise and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn where thou dost sojourn, for Jehovah hath called for a famine, and also, it is coming unto the land seven years.'
2 Yule mwanamke akafanya kama vile yule mtu wa Mungu alivyosema. Yeye na jamaa yake wakaondoka na kwenda kuishi katika nchi ya Wafilisti kwa miaka saba.
And the woman riseth, and doth according to the word of the man of God, and goeth, she and her household, and sojourneth in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Baada ya miaka saba, yule mwanamke akarudi kutoka nchi ya Wafilisti, akaenda kwa mfalme kumsihi kwa ajili ya nyumba yake na shamba lake.
And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman turneth back from the land of the Philistines, and goeth out to cry unto the king, for her house, and for her field.
4 Mfalme alikuwa anazungumza na Gehazi, mtumishi wa mtu wa Mungu, naye alikuwa amesema, “Hebu niambie mambo yote makuu yaliyofanywa na Elisha.”
And the king is speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, 'Recount, I pray thee, to me, the whole of the great things that Elisha hath done.'
5 Wakati Gehazi alipokuwa akimweleza mfalme jinsi Elisha alivyomfufua mtu, yule mwanamke ambaye mwanawe alikuwa amefufuliwa na Elisha akaja ili amsihi mfalme kwa ajili ya nyumba yake na shamba lake. Gehazi akasema, “Huyu ndiye huyo mwanamke, bwana wangu mfalme, na huyu ndiye mwanawe ambaye Elisha alimfufua.”
And it cometh to pass, he is recounting to the king how he had revived the dead, and lo, the woman whose son he had revived is crying unto the king, for her house and for her field, and Gehazi saith, 'My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this her son, whom Elisha revived.'
6 Mfalme akamuuliza yule mwanamke kuhusu mambo hayo, naye akamweleza. Ndipo akaamuru afisa ashughulikie shauri lake na kumwambia, “Mrudishie huyu mwanamke kila kitu kilichokuwa mali yake, pamoja na mapato yote yaliyotokana na shamba lake tangu siku alipoondoka nchini hadi sasa.”
And the king asketh at the woman, and she recounteth to him, and the king appointeth to her a certain eunuch, saying, 'Give back all that she hath, and all the increase of the field from the day of her leaving the land even till now.'
7 Elisha akaenda Dameski, naye Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu alikuwa mgonjwa. Mfalme alipoambiwa, “Mtu wa Mungu ametoka mbali akapanda hadi hapa,”
And Elisha cometh in to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram is sick, and it is declared to him, saying, 'The man of God hath come hither.'
8 mfalme akamwambia Hazaeli. “Chukua zawadi na uende kumlaki huyo mtu wa Mungu. Muulize Bwana kupitia yeye, kwamba, ‘Je, nitapona ugonjwa huu?’”
And the king saith unto Hazael, 'Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, and thou hast sought Jehovah by him, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?'
9 Hazaeli akaenda kumlaki Elisha, akiwa amechukua zawadi ya kila kitu kizuri kilichopatikana Dameski, mizigo iliyobebwa na ngamia arobaini. Akaingia ndani na kusimama mbele yake, akasema, “Mwanao Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu amenituma niulize, ‘Je, nitapona ugonjwa huu?’”
And Hazael goeth to meet him, and taketh a present in his hand, even of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty camels, and he cometh in and standeth before him, and saith, 'Thy son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?'
10 Elisha akajibu, “Nenda ukamwambie, ‘Hakika utapona’; lakini Bwana amenifunulia kwamba kweli atakufa.”
And Elisha saith unto him, 'Go, say, Thou dost certainly not revive, seeing Jehovah hath shewed me that he doth surely die.'
11 Elisha akamkazia Hazaeli macho kwa nguvu mpaka akaona aibu. Kisha mtu wa Mungu akaanza kulia.
And he setteth his face, yea, he setteth [it] till he is ashamed, and the man of God weepeth.
12 Hazaeli akauliza “Kwa nini bwana wangu analia?” Elisha akajibu, “Kwa sababu najua mabaya utakayowatendea Waisraeli. Utachoma moto ngome zao, utawaua vijana wao kwa upanga, kuwatupa chini kwa nguvu watoto wachanga, na kuwatumbua wanawake wenye mimba.”
And Hazael saith, 'Wherefore is my lord weeping?' and he saith, 'Because I have known the evil that thou dost to the sons of Israel — their fenced places thou dost send into fire, and their young men with sword thou dost slay, and their sucklings thou dost dash to pieces, and their pregnant women thou dost rip up.'
13 Hazaeli akasema, “Itawezekanaje mtumishi wako, aliye mbwa tu, kufanya tendo la ajabu namna hiyo?” Elisha akamjibu, “Bwana amenionyesha kuwa utakuwa mfalme wa Aramu.”
And Hazael saith, 'But what, [is] thy servant the dog, that he doth this great thing?' And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah hath shewed me thee — king of Aram.'
14 Kisha Hazaeli akamwacha Elisha na kumrudia bwana wake. Ben-Hadadi akamuuliza, “Elisha alikuambia nini?” Hazaeli akajibu, “Aliniambia kwamba hakika utapona.”
And he goeth from Elisha, and cometh in unto his lord, and he saith unto him, 'What said Elisha to thee?' and he saith, 'He said to me, Thou dost certainly recover.'
15 Lakini kesho yake Hazaeli akachukua nguo nzito, akailoweka ndani ya maji, akaitandaza juu ya uso wa mfalme, hivyo akafa. Kisha Hazaeli akaingia mahali pake kuwa mfalme wa Aramu.
And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that he taketh the coarse cloth, and dippeth in water, and spreadeth on his face, and he dieth, and Hazael reigneth in his stead.
16 Katika mwaka wa tano wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, wakati huo Yehoshafati akiwa mfalme wa Yuda, Yehoramu mwana wa Yehoshafati akaanza kutawala kama mfalme wa Yuda.
And in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel — and Jehoshaphat [is] king of Judah — hath Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah reigned;
17 Alikuwa na umri wa miaka thelathini na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka minane.
a son of thirty and two years was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem.
18 Akaenenda katika njia za wafalme wa Israeli, kama nyumba ya Ahabu ilivyokuwa imefanya, kwa kuwa alimwoa binti wa Ahabu. Akatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana.
And he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,
19 Hata hivyo, kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wake, Bwana hakutaka kuiangamiza Yuda. Alikuwa ameahidi kuidumisha taa kwa ajili ya Daudi na wazao wake milele.
and Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as He said to him, to give to him a lamp — to his sons all the days.
20 Wakati wa Yehoramu, Edomu waliasi dhidi ya Yuda na kujiwekea mfalme wao wenyewe.
In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them,
21 Basi Yehoramu akaenda Sairi pamoja na magari yake yote ya vita. Waedomu wakamzunguka yeye na majemadari wake wa magari yake ya vita, lakini akaondoka, akapenya usiku na kuwashambulia Waedomu. Hata hivyo, jeshi lake likatorokea nyumbani mwao.
and Joram passeth over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he himself hath risen by night, and smiteth Edom, that is coming round about unto him, and the heads of the chariots, and the people fleeth to its tents;
22 Hadi leo Edomu wameasi dhidi ya Yuda. Libna pia wakaasi wakati huo huo.
and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah till this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time.
23 Kwa matukio mengine ya utawala wa Yehoramu na yote aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
And the rest of the matters of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Yehoramu akalala pamoja na baba zake, na akazikwa pamoja nao katika Mji wa Daudi. Naye Ahazia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
And Joram lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaziah his son in his stead.
25 Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili wa utawala wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel reigned hath Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah;
26 Ahazia alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala katika Yerusalemu kwa mwaka mmoja. Mama yake aliitwa Athalia, mjukuu wa Omri mfalme wa Israeli.
a son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri king of Israel,
27 Akaenenda katika njia za nyumba ya Ahabu, na kutenda maovu machoni pa Bwana, kama nyumba ya Ahabu ilivyokuwa imefanya, kwa kuwa alikuwa ameoa kutoka nyumba ya Ahabu.
and he walketh in the way of the house of Ahab, and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for he [is] son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Ahazia akaenda vitani na Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu kupigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu huko Ramoth-Gileadi. Waaramu wakamjeruhi Yoramu.
And he goeth with Joram son of Ahab to battle with Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and the Aramaeans smite Joram,
29 Hivyo Mfalme Yoramu akarudi Yezreeli ili apate kuuguza majeraha aliyojeruhiwa na Waaramu huko Ramothi alipopigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu. Ndipo Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu mfalme wa Yuda akashuka kwenda Yezreeli kumtazama Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, kwa sababu alikuwa amejeruhiwa.
and Joram the king turneth back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds with which the Arameans smite him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he is sick.
