2 Wafalme 15

1 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Azaria mwana wa Amazia mfalme wa Yuda akaanza kutawala.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah, king of Judah, has reigned;

2 Azaria alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala, na alitawala kwa mda wa miaka hamsini na mbili katika Yerusalemu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yekolia, na alikuwa anatokea Yerusalemu.

he was a son of sixteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem,

3 Alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Yahwe, kama baba yake Amazia alivyofanya.

and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah did,

4 Lakini, mahali pa juu hapakuwa pameondolewa. Watu wakaendelea kutoa sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahala pa juu.

only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.

5 Yhawe akampiga mfalme hivyo basi akawa na ukoma mpaka siku ya kifo chake na alikaa kwenye nyumba ya pekee. Yothamu, mtoto wa mfalme, alikuwa juu ya watu na kuwaongoza watu wa nchi.

And YHWH strikes the king, and he is a leper to the day of his death, and he dwells in a separate house, and Jotham son of the king [is] over the house, judging the people of the land.

6 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Azaria, yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?

And the rest of the matters of Azariah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

7 Hivyo Azaria alilala pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi. Yothamu, mtoto wake, akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

And Azariah lies with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Jotham reigns in his stead.

8 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane mwaka wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Zekaria mwana wa Yeroboamu akatawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria kwa miezi sita.

In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel in Samaria, six months,

9 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe, kama baba zake waliyoyafanya. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kuasi

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH as his fathers did; he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.

10 Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akafanya njama dhidi ya Zekaria, akamshambulia katika Ibleamu, na kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

And Shallum son of Jabesh conspires against him, and strikes him before the people, and puts him to death, and reigns in his stead.

11 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Zekaria, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

And the rest of the matters of Zechariah, behold, they are written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

12 Hili ndilo lililokuwa neno la Yahwe ambalo aliongea na Yehu, kusema, “Kizazi chako kitakaa katika kiti cha Israeli mpaka kizazi cha nne.” Hiyo ikatokea.

It [is] the word of YHWH that He spoke to Jehu, saying, “Sons of the fourth [generation] sit on the throne of Israel for you”; and it is so.

13 Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi akaanza kutawala katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, na kutawala kwa mwezi mmoja tu katika Samaria.

Shallum son of Jabesh has reigned in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigns a month of days in Samaria;

14 Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akapanda kutoka Tirza kwenda Samaria. Akamshambulia Shalumu mwana wa Yabeshi hapo, katika Samria. Akamuua na kuwa mfalme katika mahali pake.

and Menahem son of Gadi goes up from Tirzah and comes to Samaria, and strikes Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and puts him to death, and reigns in his stead.

15 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Shalumu na njama aliyoifanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio cha wafle wa Israeli.

And the rest of the matters of Shallum and his conspiracy that he made, behold, they are written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

16 Ndipo Menahemu akamshambulia Tifsa na wote waliokuwa pale, na mipaka yote kuzunguka Tizra, kwasababu hawakufungua kwenye mji. Hivyo akaushambulia, na akawapasua wanawake wajawazito wote katika hicho kijiji.

Then Menahem strikes Tiphsah, and all who [are] in it, and its borders from Tirzah, for it did not open [to him], and he strikes [it], [and] he has ripped up all its pregnant women.

17 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi akaanza kutawala; alitawala kwa miaka kumi katika Samaria.

In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi has reigned over Israel in Samaria, ten years.

18 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Katika maisha yake yote, hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambaye alifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.

And he does evil in the eyes of YHWH; he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin, all his days.

19 Kisha Pulu mfalme wa Ashuru akaja kinyume cha nchi, na Menahemu akampatia Pulu talanta elfu moja za fedha, hivyo msaada wa Pulu ungeweza kuwa na yeye kuimarisha utawala wa Israeli katika nchi yake.

Pul king of Asshur has come against the land, and Menahem gives one thousand talents of silver to Pul, for his hand being with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menahemu akatoza hii pesa kutoka Israeli kwa kumtaka kila mtu tajiri alipe shekeli hamsini za fedha kwake kumpatia mfalme wa Ashura. Hivyo mfalme wa Ashuru akarudi na hakukaa pale katika ile nchi.

And Menahem brings out the silver [from] Israel, [from] all the mighty men of wealth, to give to the king of Asshur, fifty shekels of silver for each one, and the king of Asshur turns back and has not stayed there in the land.

21 Kama kwa mabo mengine yanayomuhusu Menahemu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya waflme wa Israeli?

And the rest of the matters of Menahem and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

22 Hivyo Menahemu akalala pamoja na babu zake, na Pekahia mtoto wake akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

And Menahem lies with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah reigns in his stead.

23 Katika mwaka wa hamsini wa Azaria mfalme wa Yuda, Pekahia mwana wa Menahemu akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala kwa muda wa miaka miwili.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem has reigned over Israel in Samaria, two years,

24 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni pa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti, ambazo kwa hizo alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH; he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.

25 Pekahia alikuwa na afisa aliyekuwa anaitwa Peka mwana wa Remalia, ambaye alifanya njama dhidi yake. Pamoja na watu hamsini wa Gileadi, Peka akamuua Pekahia pamoja na Argobu na Arie katika Samaria, katika ngome ya nyumba ya mfalme. Peka akamuua alipomua Pekahia akawa mfalme katika mahala pake.

And Pekah son of Remaliah, his captain, conspires against him, and strikes him in Samaria, in the high place of the house of the king with Argob and Arieh; and fifty men of the sons of the Gileadites [were] with him, and he puts him to death, and reigns in his stead.

26 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Pekahia, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

And the rest of the matters of Pekahiah and all that he did, behold, they are written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

27 Katika mwaka wa hamsini na mbili wa Azia mfalme wa Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remalia akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika Samaria; alitawala miaka Ishirini.

In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah has reigned over Israel in Samaria, twenty years,

28 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni mwa Yahwe. Hakuziacha dhambi za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabati, ambaye alisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.

29 Katika siku za Peka mfalme wa Israeli, Tiglath Pileseri mfalme wa Ashuru akaja na kuichukua Iyoni, Abel Beth Maaka, Yanoa, Kadeshi, Hazori, Gileadi, na nchi yote ya Naftali. Akawachukua hao watu hadi Ashuru.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur has come, and takes Ijon, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and removes them to Asshur.

30 Hivyo Hoshea mwana wa Ela akafanya njama dhidi ya Peka mwana wa Remalia. Akaishambulia na kisha kumuua. Kisha akawa mfalme katika mahali pake, katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yothamu mwana wa Uzia.

And Hoshea son of Elah makes a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah, and strikes him, and puts him to death, and reigns in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

31 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Peka, yote aliyoyafanya, yameandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli.

And the rest of the matters of Pekah and all that he did, behold, they are written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

32 Katika mwaka wa pili wa Peka mwana wa Remalia, mfalme wa Israeli, Yothamu mwana wa Azaria, mfalme wa Yuda akaanza kutawala.

In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, has reigned.

33 Alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini alipoanza kutawala; alitawala kwa muda wa miaka kumi na sita katika Yerusalimu. Mama yake alikuwa anaitwa Yerusha; alikuwa binti ya Sadoki.

He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerusha daughter of Zadok,

34 Yotahmu alifanya yaliyo sahihi usoni pa Yahwe. Alifuata mfano wa yote baba yake Azaria aliyofanya.

and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH; he has done according to all that his father Uzziah did.

35 Ila, mahali pa juu hapakuchukuliwa. Watu walikuwa wakitio sadaka na kufukiza ubani katika mahali pa juu. Yothamu akajenga lango la juu la nyumba ya Yahwe.

Only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places; he has built the high gate of the house of YHWH.

36 Kama kwa mambo mengine yanayomuhusu Yothamu, na yote aliyoyafanya, je yameandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda?

And the rest of the matters of Jotham and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

37 Katika zamani hizo Yahwe akaanza kumtuma dhidi ya Yuda Rezini mfalme wa Sahmu, na Peka mwana wa Remalia.

In those days YHWH has begun to send Rezin king of Amram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.

38 Yothamu akalala pamoja na babu zake na akazikwa pamoja na babu zake katika mji wa Daudi, babu yake. Kisha Ahazi, mtoto wake, akwa mfalme katika mhali pake.

And Jotham lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Ahaz reigns in his stead.
