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 three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and 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 followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
4 Hivyo Yehoazi akamsihi Yahwe, na Yahwe akamsikiliza kwa sababu aliona mateso ya Israeli, vile mfalme wa Shamu alivyokuwa akiwatesa.
And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed 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 Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
6 Hata hivyo, hawakuziacha dhambi za nyumba ya Yeroboamu, ambaye alisabisha Israeli kuasi, na wakaendelea katika hayo; na huyo Ashera akabaki hivyo katika Samaria.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also 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.
Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
8 Kama mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yehoazi, na yote aliyoyafanya na nguvu zake, je hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not 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 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash 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 and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned 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 sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
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 Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not 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 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash 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 Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
15 Elisha akamwambia, “Chukua upinde na mishale,” basi Yoashi akachukua upinde na mishale.
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him 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 of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha 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. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till 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 he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, 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 wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
20 Kisha Elisha akafa, na wakamzika. Sasa vikundi vya Wamoabi wakaingia kwenye nchi mwanzoni mwa mwaka.
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in 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 spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akawatesa Israeli siku zote za Yehoazi.
But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
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 was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu akafa, na Ben Hadadi mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika sehemu yake.
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben-hadad 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 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
