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 and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

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.

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

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

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

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

Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the 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 the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king's son [was] 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 acts of Azariah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book 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.

So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned 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 and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign 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 did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 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 the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

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

And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold they [are] written in the book 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.

This [was] the word of the LORD which he spoke to Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass.

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 the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month 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.

For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned 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 acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book 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 smote Tiphsah, and all that [were] in it, and the borders of it from Tirzah: because they opened not [to him], therefore he smote [it]; [and] all the women in it that were with child he ripped up.

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 nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years in Samaria.

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 did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

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.

[And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm 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 exacted the money of Israel, [even] of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not 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 acts of Menahem, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book 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 slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned 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 the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] 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 did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 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.

But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.

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

And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book 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 two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] twenty years.

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

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 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 came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

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 the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the 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 acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book 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 the son of Remaliah king of Israel, began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

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.

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

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

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

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.

Yet, the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book 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 the LORD began to send against Judah, Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

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 slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: And Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
