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 reigned hath Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah,

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.

a son of sixteen years was he in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned 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 doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father 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 turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume 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 Jehovah smiteth the king, and he is a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelleth 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 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.

And Azariah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers, in the city of David, and reign doth Jotham his son 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 reigned hath Zechariah son of Jeroboam 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did his fathers, he hath 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 conspireth against him, and smiteth him before the people, and putteth him to death, and reigneth 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, lo, they are written on 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.

It [is] the word of Jehovah that He spake unto Jehu, saying, 'Sons of the fourth [generation] do sit for thee on the throne of Israel;' 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 hath reigned in the thirty and ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigneth 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 go up doth Menahem son of Gadi from Tirzah and cometh in to Samaria, and smiteth Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and putteth him to death, and reigneth 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, lo, they are written on 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 doth Menahem smite Tiphsah, and all who [are] in it, and its borders from Tirzah, for it opened not [to him], and he smiteth [it], all its pregnant women he hath 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 thirty and ninth year of Azariah king of Judah reigned hath Menahem son of Gadi over Israel — 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 doth the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath turned not 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 hath come against the land, and Menahem giveth to Pul a thousand talents of silver, 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 bringeth 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 turneth back and hath 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 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 lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Pekahiah his son 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 hath Pekahiah son of Menahem 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath 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, doth conspire against him, and smiteth him in Samaria, in the high place of the house of the king with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the sons of the Gileadites, and he putteth him to death, and reigneth 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, lo, they are written on 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 fifty and second year of Azariah king of Judah, reigned hath Pekah son of Remaliah 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath 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 hath Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur come, and taketh Ijon, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and removeth 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 make a conspiracy doth Hoshea son of Elah against Pekah son of Remaliah, and smiteth him, and putteth him to death, and reigneth 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, lo, they are written on 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 son of Remaliah king of Israel reigned hath Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah.

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.

A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned 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 doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did he hath 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.

Only, the high places have not turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places; he hath built the high gate of the house of Jehovah.

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 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 hath Jehovah begun to send against Judah Rezin king of Amram and Pekah 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.
