< 1 Wafalme 22 >

1 Miaka mitatu ilipita bila kuwepo na vita kati ya Washami na Wisraeli.
Therfor thre yeeris passiden with out batel bitwixe Sirie and Israel.
2 Ikawa katika mwaka wa tatu, Yehoshafati mfalme wa Israeli akashuka kwa mfalme wa Isreli.
Forsothe in the thridde yeer Josephat, king of Juda, yede doun to the kyng of Israel.
3 Mfalme wa Israeli alikuwa amewaambia watumishi wake, “Je, mnajua kuwa Ramothi Gileadi ni yetu, ila hatufanyi chochote kuitwaa kutoka kwenye mkono wa mfalme wa Shamu?”
And the kyng of Israel seide to hise seruauntis, Witen ye not, that Ramoth of Galaad is oure, and we ben necgligent to take it fro the hoond of the kyng of Sirie?
4 Kwa hiyo akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Je, utakwenda na mimi katika vita huko Ramothi Gileadi?” Yehoshafati akamjibu mfalme wa Israeli, “Mimi ni kama wewe, watu wangu ni kama watu wako, na farasi wangu ni kama farasi wako.”
And he seide to Josaphat, Whether thou schalt come with me to fiyte in to Ramoth of Galaad?
5 Yehoshafati akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Tafadhali tafuta mwongozo kutoka neno la BWANA juu ya kile unachopaswa kufanya kwanza.”
And Josophat seide to the kyng of Israel, As Y am, so and thou; my puple and thi puple ben oon; and my knyytis and thy knyytis `ben oon. And Josephat seide to the kyng of Israel, Y preie thee, axe thou to dai the word of the Lord.
6 Ndipo mfalme wa Israeli akawakusanya manabii pamoja, walikuwa wanaume elfu nne, akawaambia, “Je, niende Ramothi Gileadi kupigana, au nisiende?” Nao wakamwambia, “Ivamie, kwa kuwa Bwana ataitoa katika mkono wa mfalme.”
Therfor the kyng of Israel gaderide prophetis aboute foure hundrid men, and he seide to hem, Owe Y to go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ethir to reste? Whiche answeriden, Stie thou, and the Lord schal yyue it in the hond of the kyng.
7 Lakini Yehoshafati akasema, “Je, hapa hayupo nabii mwingine wa BWANA ambaye tunaweza kupata ushauri?”
Forsothe Josephat seide, Is not here ony profete of the Lord, that we axe bi hym?
8 Mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Bado kuna mtu mmoja ambaye tunaweza kupata ushauri toka kwa BWANA ili kusaidia, Makaya mwana wa Imla, lakini namchukia kwa sababu huwa hanitabirii mazuri yanayonihusu, ila hunitabiria matatizo tu.” Lakini Yehoshafat akasema, “mfalme na asiseme hivyo,”
And the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, O man, Mychee, sone of Hiemla, is left, bi whom we moun axe the Lord; but Y hate hym, for he prophesieth not good to me, but yuel. To whome Josephat seide, Kyng, spek thou not so.
9 Kisha mfalme wa Israeli akmwita akida na akamwamuru, “Kamlete Makaya mwana wa Imla, sasa hivi.”
Therfor the kyng of Israel clepide summe chaumburleyn, and seide to hym, Haste thou to brynge Mychee, sone of Hiemla.
10 Wakati huo Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli na Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda walikuwa wameketi kila mmoja kwenye kiti cha enzi, wamevaa mavazi yao, katika eneo la wazi kwenye lango la kuingilia Samaria, na manabii walikuwa wakiwatabiria.
Forsothe the kyng of Israel, and Josephat, kyng of Juda, saten, ech in his trone, clothid with kyngis ournement, in the large hows bisidis the dore of the yate of Samarie; and alle prophetis prophecieden in the siyt of hem.
11 Sedekia mwana wa Kenaana akajitengenezea pembe za chuma akasema, “BWANA asema hivi: 'Kwa hili utawasukuma Washami mpaka watakapoisha.'”
Also Sedechie, sone of Chanaan, made to hym silf hornes of yrun, and seide, The Lord God seith these thingis, With these thou schalt scatere Sirye, til thou do awei it.
12 Na manabii wengine wote wakasema hivyo, wakisema, “Ishambulie Ramothi Gileadi na ushinde, kwa kuwa BWANA ameiweka kwenye mkono wa mfalme.”
And alle prophetis prophecieden in lijk maner, and seiden, Stye thou in to Ramoth of Galaad, and go thou with prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake thin enemyes in the hond of the kyng.
13 Yule mjumbe aliyeenda kumwita Makaya akamwambia, akisema, “Tazama sasa, maneno ya manabii kwa kinywa kimoja wanatabiri mambo mema kwa mfalme. Tafadhali maneno yako yawe kama yao ukaseme mambo mazuri.”
Sotheli the messanger, that yede to clepe Mychee, spak to hym, and seide, Lo! the wordis of prophetis with o mouth prechen goodis to the kyng; therfor thi word be lijk hem, and speke thou goodis.
14 Makaya akajibu, “Kama BWANA aishivyo, kile BWANA atakachosema kwangu ndicho nitakachosema.'”
To whom Mychee seide, The Lord lyueth, for what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me, Y schal speke this.
15 Naye alipokuja kwa mfalme, mfalme akamwambia, “Makaya, je twende Ramothi Gileadi kupigana, au tusiende?” Makaya akamjibu, “Ivamie na ushinde. BWANA ataitoa kwenye mkono wa mfalme.”
Therfor he cam to the kyng. And the kyng seide to hym, Mychee, owen we go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ether ceesse? To which kyng he answeride, Stie thou, and go in prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake it `in to the hond of the kyng.
16 Kisha mfalme akamwambia. “Je, nikutake mara ngapi ili kuniapia ukweli kwa jna la BWANA?”
Forsothe the kyng seide to hym, Eft and eft Y coniure thee, that thou speke not to me, not but that that is soth in the name of the Lord.
17 Makaya akasema, “Ninaiona Israeli yote imesambaa kwenye milima, kama kondoo wasiokuwa na mchungaji, na BWANA amesema, 'Hawa hawana mchungaji. Kila mtu na arudi nyumbani kwake kwa amani.'”
And he seide, Y siy al Israel scaterid in the hillis, as scheep not hauynge a scheepherde; and the Lord seide, These han no lord, ech man turne ayen in to his hows in pees.
18 Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Je sikukwambia kuwa huwa hanitabirii mambo mema yanayonihusu, ila majanga tu?”
Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, Whethir Y seide not to thee, that he prophecieth not good to me, but euere yuel?
19 Kisha Makaya akasema, “Kwa hiyo sikiliza neno la BWANA: Nimemwona BWANA akiwa ameketi kwenye kiti chake cha enzi, na majeshi yote ya mbinguni yalikuwa yamesimama karibu yake upande wake wa kulia na upande wake wa kushoto.
Sotheli thilke Mychee addide, and seide, Therefore here thou the word of the Lord; Y siy the Lord sittynge on his trone, and Y siy al the oost of heuene stondynge nyy hym, on the riyt side and on the left side.
20 BWANA akasema, 'Ni nani atakayemdanganya Ahabu, ili kwamba apande akafie Ramothi Gileadi? Na mtu mmoja akajibu kwa njia hii, na mwingine akajbu kwa njia ile.
And the Lord seide, Who schal disseyue Achab, kyng of Israel, that he stye, and falle in Ramoth of Galaad? And oon seide siche wordis, and another in anothir maner.
21 Ndipo pepo moja akajitokeza, akasimama mbele ya BWANA, akasema, 'Mimi nitamdanganya.' BWANA akmwuliza, 'Kwa jinsi gani?'
Sotheli a spirit yede out, and stood bifor the Lord, and seide, Y schal disseyue hym. To whom the Lord spak, In what thing?
22 Yule pepo akamjibu, 'Nitakwenda na kuwa roho idanganyayo katika vinywa vya manabii wake,' BWANA akamjibu, 'utaweza kumdanganya, na utafanikiwa. Nenda sasa ukafanye hivyo.'
And he seide, Y schal go out, and Y schal be a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle hise prophetis. And the Lord seide, Thou schalt disseyue, and schalt haue the maystry; go thou out, and do so.
23 Tazama sasa, BWANA ameweka roho idangayo kwenye vinywa vya hawa manabii wako, na BWANA ametangaza janga kwako.”
Now therfor, lo! the Lord yaf a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle prophetis that ben here; and the Lord spak yuel ayens thee.
24 Kisha Sedekia mwana wa Kenaana, akaja, akamzabua Makaya shavuni, akasema, “Je, yule roho wa Bwana alitokaje kwangu ili asema na wewe?”
Forsothe Sedechie, sone of Canaan, neiyede, and smoot Mychee on the cheke, and seide, Whether the Spirit of the Lord forsook me, and spak to thee?
25 Makaya akasema, “Tazama, “utatambua hilo katika siku hiyo, utakapokimbilia katika chumba cha ndani kujificha.”
And Mychee seide, Thou schalt se in that dai, whanne thou schalt go in to closet with ynne closet, that thou be hid.
26 Mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia mtumishi wake, “Mkamate Makaya umpeleke kwa Amoni, liwali wa mji, na kwa mwanangu, Yoashi.
And the kyng of Israel seide, Take ye Mychee, and dwelle he at Amon, prince of the citee, and at Joas, the sone of Amalech;
27 Mwambie, 'mfalme anasema mweke huyo gerezani na awe anampa mkate kidogo na maji kidogo, mpaka nitakaporudi salama.'”
and seie ye to hem, The kyng seith these thingis, Sende ye this man in to prisoun, and susteyne ye hym with breed of tribulacioun, and with watir of angwisch, til Y turne ayen in pees.
28 Naye Makaya akasema, “Kama utarudi salama basi BWANA hajasema kupitia kinywa changu.” Na akaongeza, “Sikilizeni hili, ninyi watu.”
And Mychee seide, If thou schalt turne ayen in pees, the Lord spak not in me. And he seide, Here ye, alle puplis.
29 Ahabu, mfalme wa Israeli, na Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda, wamepanda Ramothi Gileadi.
Therfor the kyng of Israel stiede, and Josaphat, kyng of Juda, in to Ramoth of Galaad.
30 Mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Nitajibadilisha mwenyewe niende vitani, lakini wewe uvae vazi lako la kifalme.” Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akajibadilisha na akaenda vitani.
Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, Take thou armeris, and entre thou in to batel, and be thou clothid in thi clothis, that is, noble signes of the kyng. Certis the kyng of Israel chaungide hise clothing, and entride in to batel.
31 Naye mfalme wa Shamu alikuwa amewaamuru majemedari thelathini na mbili wa magari yake, akisema, “Msimwamgamize askari wa muhimu au ambaye si wa muhimu, badala yake mshambulieni mfalme wa Israeli tu.”
Sotheli the kyng of Sirie hadde comaundid to two and thritti princes of charis, and seide, Ye schulen not fiyte ayens ony man lesse, ethir more, no but ayens the kyng of Israel oonli.
32 Ikawa wakati majemedari wa magari walipomwona Yehoshafati wakasema, “Hakika huyu ndiye mfalme wa Israeli.” Wakageuka ili kumshambulia, kwahiyo Yehoshafati akapiga kelele.
Therfor whanne the princes of charis hadden seyn Josephat, thei suposiden that he was king of Israel, and bi feersnesse maad thei fouyten ayens hym.
33 Ikawa majemedari wa magari walipoona kuwa yeye hakuwa mfalme wa Israeli, wakamwacha.
And Josephat criede; and the princis of charis vndurstoden, that it was not the king of Israel, and thei ceessiden fro hym.
34 Lakini mtu mmoja akavuta upinde wake kwa kubahatisha na akampiga mfalme wa Israeli katikati ya mwunganiko wa mavazi yake ya chuma. Ahabu akamawambia dereva wa gari lake, “geuza unirudishe kutoka vitani, kwa kuwa nimeumizwa sana.”
Sotheli sum man bente a bowe, and dresside an arowe in to vncerteyn, and bi hap he smoot the kyng of Israel bitwixe the lunge and the stomak. And the kyng seide to his charietere, Turne thin hond, and cast me out of the oost, for Y am woundid greuousli.
35 Vita ikawa mbaya sana siku hiyo na mfalme akalazwazwa garini mwake akiwakabili Washami. Akafa jioni hiyo. Damu ilimwagika kutoka kwenye jeraha lake ndani ya gari.
Therfor batel was ioyned in that dai, and the kyng of Israel stood in his chare ayens men of Sirie, and he was deed at euentid. Forsothe the blood of the wounde fletide doun in to the bothome of the chare.
36 Ikawa wakati wa kuzama jua, kilio kikatawala kwa jeshi lote, wakisema, “Kila mtu arudi kwenye mji wake; na kila mtu arudi kwenye mkoa wake!”
And a criere sownede in al the oost, before that the sunne yede doun, and seide, Ech man turne ayen in to his citee, and in to his lond.
37 Kwa hiyo mfalme Ahabu akafa na akaletwa Samaria, wakamzika huko Samaria.
Forsothe the kyng was deed, and was borun in to Samarie; and thei birieden the kyng of Samarie.
38 Wakaliosha lile gari kwenye birika la Samaria, na mbwa wakaramba damu yake (hapa ni mahali ambapo makahaba waliogea), kama vile neno la BWANA lilivyokuwa limesema.
And thei waischiden his chare in the cisterne of Samarie, and doggis lickiden his blood, and thei wayschiden the reynes, bi the word of the Lord whiche he hadde spoke.
39 Kwa mambo mengine yanayohusisana na Ahabu, yote ambayo alifanya, ile nyumba ya pembe aliyojenga, na miji yote aliyojenga, je, hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio cha wafalme wa Israeli?
Sotheli the residue of wordis of Achab, and alle thingis whiche he dide, and the hows of yuer which he bildide, and of alle citees whiche he bildide, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
40 Kwa hiyo Ahabu akalala pamoja na mababu zake, na Ahaziya mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
Therfor Achab slepte with hise fadris, and Ocozie, his sone, regnede for hym.
41 Kisha Yehoshafati mwana wa Asa alianza kutawala juu ya Yuda katika mwaka wa nne wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli.
Forsothe Josephat, sone of Asa, bigan to regne on Juda in the fourthe yeer of Achab, kyng of Israel.
42 Yehoshafati alikuwa na umri wa miaka thelathini na tano alipoanza kutawala, na akatawala Yerusalemu kwa miaka ishirini na mitano. Mama yake alikuwa Azuba, binti wa Shilhi.
Josephat was of fyue and thretti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede fyue and twenti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Azuba, douyter of Salai.
43 Akatembea katika njia za Asa, baba yake, hakuziacha; akafanya yaliyokuwa mema mbele ya macho ya BWANA. Lakini bado mahali pa juu palikuwa hapajabomolewa. Watu walikuwa bado wanaendelea kutoa dhabihu na kufukiza uvumba mahali pa juu.
And he yede in al the weye of Asa, his fadir, and bowide not fro it; and he dide that, that was riytful in the siyt of the Lord. Netheles he dide not awey hiy thingis, for yit the puple made sacrifice, and brente encense in hiy places.
44 Yehoshafati akafanya amani na mfalme wa Israeli.
And Josephat hadde pees with the king of Israel.
45 Kwa mambo mengine kuhusiana na Yehoshafati, na nguvu zake alizoonyesha, na jinsi alivyopigana vita, je, hayajaandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio cha wafalme wa Israeli?
Sotheli the residue of wordis of Josephat, and the werkis and batels, whiche he dide, whethir these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Juda?
46 Aliwaondoa kutoka katka nchi wale makahaba wa kipagani waliokuwa wamebaki katika siku za baba yake Asa.
But also he took awey fro the loond the relikis of men turned in to wymmens condiciouns, that leften in the daies of Aza, his fadir.
47 Hapakuwepo mfalme katika Edomu isipokuwa kaimu mtawala.
Nethir a kyng was ordeyned thanne in Edom.
48 Yehoshafati alijenga merikebu: ziende Tarshishi na Ofri kuleta dhahabu, lakini hazikusafiri kwa sababu zile merikebu zilivunjika kule Esioni Geberi. Kisha
Forsothe king Josephat made schippis in the see, that schulden seile in to Ophir for gold, and tho myyten not go, for thei weren brokun in Asiongaber.
49 Ahazia mwana wa Ahabu akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Naomba watumishi wangu waende pamoja na watumishi wako merikebuni. “Lakini Yehoshafati hakuruhusu hilo.
Thanne Ocozie, sone of Achab, seide to Josephat, My seruauntis go with thine in schippis.
50 Yehoshafati akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa pamoja nao katika mji wa Daudi, babu yake; Yoramu mwanawe akawa mfalme mahali pake.
And Josephat nolde. And Josephat slepte with hise fadris, and was biried with hem in the citee of Dauid, his fadir; and Joram, his sone, regnede for hym.
51 Ahazia mwana Ahabu alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli ya Samaria katika mwaka wa kumi na saba wa mfalme Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda, na akatawala kwa mika miwili juu ya Israeli.
Forsothe Ocozie, sone of Achab, bigan to regne on Israel, in Samarie, in the seuenetenthe yeer of Josephat, kyng of Juda; and Ocozie regnede on Israel twei yeer.
52 Naye akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA akatembea katika njia za baba yake, katika njia za mama yake na katika njia za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambazo kwazo aliifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.
And he dide yuel in the siyt of the Lord, and yede in the wey of his fadir, and of his modir, and in the weie of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne.
53 Alimtumikia Baali na kumwabudu na kwa hiyo akamghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, katika hasira, kama vile baba yake alivyofanya.
And he seruyde Baal, and worschipide hym, and wraththide the Lord God of Israel, bi alle thingis whiche his fadir hadde do.
