1 Wafalme 21
1 Basi ikawa baada ya hayo, Nabothi Myezreeli alikuwa na shamba la mizabibu kule Yezreeli, karibu na ikulu ya Ahabu, mfalme wa Samaria.
And it was after the things these a vineyard it belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite which [was] in Jezreel beside [the] palace of Ahab [the] king of Samaria.
2 Ahabu akamwambia Nabothi, akisema, “Nipe shamba lako, ili nilifanye kuwa bustani ya mboga, kwa sababu iko karibu na nyumba yangu. Badala yake nitakupa shamba zuri la mizabibu, au, kama ukipenda nitakulipa thamani yake kwa fedha.”
And he spoke Ahab to Naboth - saying - give! to me vineyard your so may it belong to me to a garden of vegetables for it [is] near beside house my and I will give to you in place of it a vineyard good more than it if [it is] good in view your I will give to you money [the] price of this [one].
3 Nabothi akamjibu Ahabu, “BWANA na alizuie hilo nisije nikatoa urithi wa mababu zangu kwako.”
And he said Naboth to Ahab far be it to me from Yahweh than to give I [the] inheritance of ancestors my to you.
4 Ahabu akaingia kwenye ikulu yake akiwa mchovu na mwenye hasira kwa sababu ya jibu ambalo Nabothi Myezreeli alimpa aliposema, “Sitakupa urithi wa mababu zangu.” Akalala kitandani kwake, akiwa amegeuza uso wake upande ule, na akagoma kula chakula chochote.
And he went Ahab to house his sullen and furious on the word which he had spoken to him Naboth the Jezreelite and he said not I will give to you [the] inheritance of ancestors my and he lay down on bed his and he turned around face his and not he ate food.
5 Yezebeli mke wake akaiingia kwake, akamwambia “Kwa nini moyo wako una huzuni, kiasi kwamba hutaki kula?”
And she came to him Jezebel wife his and she spoke to him why? this [is] spirit your sullen and not you [are] eating food.
6 Naye akamjibu,” Niliongea na Nabothi Myezreeli nikamwambia, 'Nipe shamba lako nami nitakupa pesa, au kama inakupendeza, nitakupa shamba jingine ili liwe lako.' Naye akanijibu, 'Sitakupa shamba langu.'”
And he spoke to her for I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and I said to him give! to me vineyard your for money or if [are] desiring you I will give to you a vineyard in place of it and he said not I will give to you vineyard my.
7 Naye Yezebeli mkewe akamjibu, “Je, wewe si mtawala wa ufalme wa Israeli? Inuka ule; na moyo wako uwe na amani. Nitalichukua hilo shamba la mizabibu la Nabothi Myezreeli kwa ajili yako.
And she said to him Jezebel wife his you now are you doing? kingship over Israel arise eat food so it may be good heart your I I will give to you [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Kwa hiyo Yezebeli akaandika barua kwa jina la Ahabu, akaitia muhuri wake, akazituma kwa wazee na kwa watu tajiri alioketi nao kwenye vikao, na ambao pia waliishi karibu na Nabothi.
And she wrote letters in [the] name of Ahab and she sealed [them] with seal his and she sent (letters *Q(K)*) to the elders and to the nobles who [were] in city his who dwelt with Naboth.
9 Katika ile barua aliyoandika, ilisema hivi, “Pigeni mbiu ya kufunga mkamkalishe Nabothi juu mbele ya watu.
And she wrote in the letters saying proclaim a fast and make sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
10 Pia mwaweke watu wawili wasiokuwa waaminifu pamoja naye na wale watu watoe ushahidi kinyume naye, waseme, 'Ulimlaani Mungu na mfalme.”Halafu mchukueni nje mkampige kwa mawe mpaka afe.
And make sit two men sons of worthlessness before him and let them testify against him saying you have blessed God and [the] king and take out him and stone him so may he die.
11 Kwa hiyo watu wa mji wake, wazee na watu tajiri waishio kwenye huo mji, wakafanya kama Yezebeli alivyowaeleza, kama ilivyoandikwa kwenye zile baraua ambazo alikuwa amewatumia.
And they did [the] people of city his the elders and the nobles who [were] the [ones who] dwelt in city his just as she had sent to them Jezebel just as [it was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 Wakapiga mbiu ya kufunga wakamkalisha Nabothi juu mbele ya watu.
They proclaimed a fast and they made sit Naboth at [the] head of the people.
13 Na wale watu wawili wasiokuwa waaminifu wakaja wakakaa mbele ya Nabothi; nao wakatoa ushuhuda wao dhidi ya Nabothi kuwa amemlaani Mungu na mfalme.” Kisha wakamchukua nje ya mji wakampiga kwa mawe mpaka akafa.
And they came [the] two the men sons of worthlessness and they sat before him and they testified against him [the] men of worthlessness Naboth before the people saying he has blessed Naboth God and [the] king and they took out him from [the] outside of the city and they stoned him with stones and he died.
14 Kisha wazee wakatuma neno kwa Yezebeli, wakisema, “Nabothi ameshapigwa mawe na amekufa.”
And they sent to Jezebel saying he has been stoned Naboth and he has died.
15 Naye Yezebeli aliposikia kuwa Nabothi ameshapigwa mawe na alikuwa amekufa, akamwabia Ahabu, “Inuka na ukamiliki shamba la mizabibu la Nabothi Myezreeli, ambalo alikataa kukuuzia, kwa sababu Nabothi hayuko hai, bali amekufa.”
And it was when heard Jezebel that he had been stoned Naboth and he had died and she said Jezebel to Ahab arise take possession of [the] vineyard of - Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to give to you for money for not Naboth [is] alive for he has died.
16 Ahabu aliposikia kuwa Nabothi amekufa, akainuka ili aende kwenye lile shamba la mizabibu la Nabothi Myezreeli na kulimiliki.
And it was when heard Ahab that he had died Naboth and he arose Ahab to go down to [the] vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
17 Ndipo neno la BWANA likamjia Eliya Mtishibi, likisema,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
18 “Inuka uende ukakutane na Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, ambaye anaishi Samaria. Yumo kwenye shamba la Nabothi, ambako ameenda kuchukua umiliki wa shamba hilo.
Arise go down to meet Ahab [the] king of Israel who [is] in Samaria there! [he is] in [the] vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down there to take possession of it.
19 Ukaongee naye umwambie kwamba BWANA anasema, 'Je, umeua na kujimilikisha?' na utamwambia kwamba BWANA anasema, 'Mahali pale ambapo mbwa wameramba damu ya Nabothi, ndipo mbwa watakaporamba damu yako, ndiyo, damu yako.'”
And you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh ¿ have you murdered and also have you taken possession? and you will speak to him saying thus he says Yahweh in [the] place where they licked up the dogs [the] blood of Naboth they will lick up the dogs blood your also you.
20 Ahabu akamwambia Eliya, “Je, umenipatia, adui yangu?” Eliya akamjibu, “Nimekupata wewe kwa sababu, umejiuza mwenyewe kufanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA.
And he said Ahab to Elijah ¿ have you found me O enemy my and he said I have found [you] because you having sold yourself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
21 BWANA anakwambia hivi: 'Tazama, Nitaleta janga kwako na litakuangamiza kabisa na kufutilia mbali kila mtoto mume na mtumwa na mtu huru katika Israeli.
Here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to you evil and I will sweep away after you and I will cut off to Ahab [one who] urinates on a wall and shut up and freed in Israel.
22 Nitaifanya familia yako kama familia ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, na kama familia ya Baasha mwana wa Ahiya, kwa sababu umenighadhabisha na umewasababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.
And I will make house your like [the] house of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and like [the] house of Baasha [the] son of Ahijah because of the provocation which you have provoked to anger and you have caused to sin Israel.
23 Pia BWANA ameongea kuhusu Yezebeli, amesema, “mbwa watamla Yezebeli pembeni mwa ukuta wa Yezreeli.'
And also of Jezebel he has spoken Yahweh saying the dogs they will devour Jezebel in [the] rampart of Jezreel.
24 Yeyote ambaye ni mtu wa familia ya Ahabu ambaye atafia mjini - mbwa watamla. Na yeyote ambaye atafia shambani - ataliwa na ndege wa angani.”
The [one who] dies of Ahab in the city they will devour the dogs and the [one who] dies in the open country they will devour [the] bird[s] of the heavens.
25 Hapakuwepo na mtu kama Ahabu, ambaye alijiuza mwenyewe kufanya maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA, ambaye mke wake Yezebeli alimchochea kufanya dhambi.
Certainly not anyone was like Ahab who he sold himself to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh whom she incited him Jezebel wife his.
26 Ahabu alifanya matendo yachukizayo kwa ajili ya sanamu alizofanya, kama vile yale yote ambayo Waamori walifanya, BWANA akawafukuza mbele ya watu wa Israeli.
And he acted abominably exceedingly by walking after the idols according to all that they had done the Amorite[s] whom he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
27 Ahabu aliposikis maneno haya, Akachana mavazi yake na akavaa magunia kwenye mwili wake na akfaunga, na akalala kwenye magunia na akahuzunika sana.
And it was when heard Ahab the words these and he tore clothes his and he put sackcloth on body his and he fasted and he lay down in the sackcloth and he went about dejectedly.
28 Kisha neno la BWANA likamjia Eliya Mtishibi likisema,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to Elijah the Tishbite saying.
29 “Je, unamwona jinsi Ahabu anavyojinyenyekeza mbele yangu? Kwa sababu anajinyeyenyekeza mwenyewe mbele yangu, Sitaleta lile janga katika siku zake; Ni katika siku za mwanae, nitakpolileta hilo janga katika familia yake.”
¿ Have you seen that he has humbled himself Ahab from to before me because for he has humbled himself from before me not (I will bring *Q(k)*) evil in days his in [the] days of son his I will bring evil on house his.
