2 Wafalme 13
1 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na tatu wa Yoashi mwana wa Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Yehoazi mwana wa Yehu alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka kumi na saba.
In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] seventeen years.
2 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe na kufuata dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kuasi; na Yehoazi hakurudi kutoka kwao
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.
3 Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, na akaendelea kuwakabidhi kwenye mikono ya Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu na kwenye mikono ya Ben Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.
4 Hivyo Yehoazi akamsihi Yahwe, na Yahwe akamsikiliza kwa sababu aliona mateso ya Israeli, vile mfalme wa Shamu alivyokuwa akiwatesa.
And Joachaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.
5 Basi Yahwe akawapa Israeli ulinzi, na wakakimbia kutoka kwenye mikono ya Washami, na watu wa Israeli wakaanza kuishi kwenye nyumba zao kama walivyokuwa kabla.
And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as heretofore.
6 Hata hivyo, hawakuziacha dhambi za nyumba ya Yeroboamu, ambaye alisabisha Israeli kuasi, na wakaendelea katika hayo; na huyo Ashera akabaki hivyo katika Samaria.
Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.
7 Washami wakamuacha Yehoazi pamoja na waendesha farasi hamsini tu, magari ya farasi kumi, na watembea kwa miguu elfu kumi, kwa ajili ya mfalme wa Shamu alikuwa ameiharibu na kuwafanya kama makapi yaliyopurwa.
Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.
8 Kama mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yehoazi, na yote aliyoyafanya na nguvu zake, je hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Basi Yehoyazi akalala na mababu zake, na wakamzika katika samaria. Yohoashi mwanaye akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.
10 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na saba wa Yoashi mfalme wa Yuda, utawala wa Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoazi ulianza juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka kumi na sita.
In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.
11 Akafanya yaliyo maovu kwenye uso wa Yahwe. Hakuacha nyuma dhambi zozote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, kwa kuwa aliwafanya Israeli kuasi, lakini alitembea pamoja nao.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.
12 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yehoashi, na yote aliyoyafanya, na shujaa wake ambaye aliyepigana dhidi ya Amazia mfalme wa Yuda, je hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Yehoashi akalala na mababu zake, na Yeroboamu akakalia kiti chake cha enzi cha kifalme. Yehoashi akazikwa katika Samaria pamoja na wafalme wa Israeli.
And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Basi Elisha akaugua ugonjwa ambao baadae ulimuua, hivyo Yehoashi yule mfalme wa Israeli akashuka chini kwake na kumlilia juu yake. Akasema, “Baba yangu, baba yangu, haya magari ya farasi ya Israeli na hawa waendesha farasi wanakuchukua!”
Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, [My] father, [my] father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!
15 Elisha akamwambia, “Chukua upinde na mishale,” basi Yoashi akachukua upinde na mishale.
And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.
16 Elisha akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Weka mkono wako kwenye upinde,” basi akaweka mkono wake kwenye huo. Kisha Elisha akalaza mikono yake kwenye mikono ya mfalme.
And he said to the king, Put thy hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon [it]: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.
17 Elisha akasema, “Fungua dirisha upande wa mashariki,” basi akalifungua. Kisha Elisha akasema, “Funga”, na akafunga. Elisha akasema, “Huu ndiyo mshale wa ushindi wa Yahwe, huu mshale wa ushindi juu ya Shamu, kwa kuwa utawapiga Washami katika Afeki hadi utakapowaangamiza.”
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And [Elisaie] said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphec until thou have consumed them.
18 Kisha Elisha aksema, “Chukua mishale,” basi Yoashi akaichukua. Akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Piga chini pamoja nao,” na akapiga chini mara tatu, kisha akaacha.
And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And [he] said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And the king smote three times, and stayed.
19 Lakini mtu wa Mungu alikuwa na hasira naye na akasema, “Ungelipiga chini mara tano au mara sita. Ndipo ungeipiga Shamu hadi kuiangamiza, lakini sasa utaipiga Shamu mara tatu tu.”
And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If thou hadst smitten five or six times, then thou shouldest have smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed them; but now thou shalt smite Syria [only] thrice.
20 Kisha Elisha akafa, na wakamzika. Sasa vikundi vya Wamoabi wakaingia kwenye nchi mwanzoni mwa mwaka.
And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.
21 Ikawa walipokuwa wakimzika huyo mtu, wakaona kundi la Wamoabi, hivyo wakautupia ule mwili kwenye kaburi la Elisha. Mara yule mtu alipoigusa mifupa ya Elisha, alifufuka na kusimama kwa miguu yake.
And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band [of men], and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akawatesa Israeli siku zote za Yehoazi.
And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.
23 Lakini Yahwe aliwahurumia Israeli, na alikuwa na huruma juu yao na kushuhulika kwa ajili yao, kwa sababu ya agano lake na Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Hivyo Yahwe hakuwaangamiza, na bado hakuwatupa kutoka kwenye uwepo wake.
And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.
24 Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akafa, na Ben Hadadi mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.
25 Yehoashi mwana wa Yehoazi akairudisha kutoka kwa Ben Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli miji ambayo aliichukua kutoka Yehoazi baba yake kwa vita. Yehoashi akamshambulia mara tatu, na akaipata miji ya Israeli.
And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas smite him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
