< 2 Wafalme 17 >
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja wa Ahazi mfalme Yuda, utawala wa Hoshea mwana wa Elahi ulianza. Alitawala katika Samaria juu ya Israeli kwa muda wa miaka minane.
ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ Αχαζ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ωσηε υἱὸς Ηλα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐννέα ἔτη
2 Alifanya yaliyo maovu usoni pa Yahwe, ila sio kama waflme wa Israeli ambao ulikuwa kabla yake.
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ οἳ ἦσαν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ
3 Shalmanesa mfalme wa Ashuru akamshambulia, na Hoshea akawa mtumishi na kumletea kodi.
ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀνέβη Σαλαμανασαρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ Ωσηε δοῦλος καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτῷ μαναα
4 Kisha mfalme wa Ashuru akaona kwamba Hoshea alikuwa na njama dhidi ya yake, kwa kuwa Hoshea aliwatuma wajumbe kwa So mfalme wa Misri; pia, hakumpatia kodi mfalme wa Ashuru, kama alivyofanya mwaka hadi mwaka.
καὶ εὗρεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ Ωσηε ἀδικίαν ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Σηγωρ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκεν μαναα τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ φυλακῆς
5 Basi mfalme wa Ashuru akamfunga akamtia kifungoni. Kisha mfalme wa Ashuru akaishambulia nchi yote, akaishambulia Samaria na kuizunguka kwa miaka mitatu.
καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν τρία ἔτη
6 Katika mwaka wa tisa wa Hoshea, mfalme wa Ashuru akaichukua Samaria na akawapeleka Israeli hadi Ashuru. Akawaweka kwenye Hala, kwenye Habori Mto wa Gozani, na katika mji wa Wamedi.
ἐν ἔτει ἐνάτῳ Ωσηε συνέλαβεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἀπῴκισεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Αλαε καὶ ἐν Αβωρ ποταμοῖς Γωζαν καὶ Ορη Μήδων
7 Utekwaji huu ulitokea kwa sababu wana wa Israeli walifanya dhambi dhidi ya Yahwe Mungu wao, ambaye aliwaleta kutoka nchi ya Misri, kutoka chini ya mkono wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Watu walikuwa wakiabudu miungu mingine
καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥμαρτον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτῶν τῷ ἀναγαγόντι αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν θεοὺς ἑτέρους
8 na kutembea katika matendo ya wamataifa ambao Yahwe aliwafukuza mbele ya watu wa Israeli, na katika matendo ya wafalme wa Israeli ambayo waliyokuwa wameyafanya.
καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῆρεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ ὅσοι ἐποίησαν
9 Wana wa Israeli wakafanya kwa siri mambo mabaya dhidi ya Yahwe Mungu wao. Wakajijengea mahala pa juu katika miji yao yote, kutoka mnara wa walinzi hadi mji wenye boma.
καὶ ὅσοι ἠμφιέσαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ λόγους οὐχ οὕτως κατὰ κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς
10 Pia wakasimamisha nguzo za mawe na Ashera juu ya kila mlima chini ya kila mti mbichi.
καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους
11 Huko wakafukiza ubani katika mahali pa juu pote, kama mataifa walivyokuwa wamefanya, ambao Yahwe aliwafukuza mbele yao. Waisraeli wakafanya mambo maovu ili kuchochea hasira ya Yahwe,
καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἀπῴκισεν κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν κύριον
12 wakaabudu sanamu, ambazo Yahwe alizokuwa amewaambia, “Msifanye jambo hili.”
καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς εἶπεν κύριος αὐτοῖς οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κυρίῳ
13 Bado Yahwe aliwashuhudia Israeli na Yuda kwa kila nabii na kila muonaji, kusema, “Geukeni kutoka nija zenu mbaya na kuzishika amri zangu na hukumu zangu, na kuwa makini kufuata ile sheria yote niliyowaamuru baba zenu, na ambayo niliwapelekea kwa watumishi wangu manabii.”
καὶ διεμαρτύρατο κύριος ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ιουδα ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ παντὸς ὁρῶντος λέγων ἀποστράφητε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ φυλάξατε τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὸν νόμον ὃν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ὅσα ἀπέστειλα αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν
14 Lakini hawakuweza kusikia; badala yake walikuwa wakaidi kama baba zao ambao hawakumwamini Yahwe Mungu wao.
καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
15 Walizikataa sheria zake na lile agano ambalo alilifanya pamoja na babu zao, na hilo agano wakakubaliana wapewe. Wakafuata mambo yao yasiyofaa na wakawa hawafai. Wakawafuata mataifa ya kipagani ambao waliwazunguka, ambao Yahwe alikuwa amewaamuru wasiige.
καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ ὅσα διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν ὧν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς τοῦ μὴ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα
16 Wakazipuuza amri zote za Yahwe Mungu wao. Wakatengeneza sanamu za kusubu za ndama wawili kuziabudu. Wakatengeza nguzo ya Ashera, na wakaziabudu nyota zote za mbinguni na Baali.
ἐγκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα δύο δαμάλεις καὶ ἐποίησαν ἄλση καὶ προσεκύνησαν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῷ Βααλ
17 Wakawatupia watoto wao wakike kwa wakiume kwenye moto, wakapiga ramli na uchawi, wakajiuza wenyewe kufanya yale ambayo yalikuwa maovu usoni pa Yahwe, na kuichochea hasira yake.
καὶ διῆγον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἐμαντεύοντο μαντείας καὶ οἰωνίζοντο καὶ ἐπράθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν
18 Kwa hiyo Yahwe alikuwa na hasira na Israeli na kuwaondoa usoni mwake. Hakubakia mtu hata mmoja isipokuwa kabila la Yuda peke yake.
καὶ ἐθυμώθη κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ιουδα μονωτάτη
19 Hata watu wa Yuda hawakushika amri za Yahwe Mungu wao, lakini badala yake walifuata mambo hayo hayo ya kipagani ambayo Israeli walifuata.
καί γε Ιουδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν Ισραηλ οἷς ἐποίησαν
20 Hivyo Yahwe akawakataa vizazi vyote vya Israeli; akawatesa na kuwatia kwenye mkono wa wale wenye kuwateka nyara, hadi atakapokuwa amewatupa usoni mwake.
καὶ ἀπεώσαντο τὸν κύριον ἐν παντὶ σπέρματι Ισραηλ καὶ ἐσάλευσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ διαρπαζόντων αὐτούς ἕως οὗ ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ
21 Akawatoa Israeli kutoka kwenye mstari wa kifalme wa Daudi, na wakamfanya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nabeti mfalme. Yeroboamu akawapeleka Israeli mbali kutoka kumfuata Yahwe na kuwafanya wafanye dhambi kubwa.
ὅτι πλὴν Ισραηλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸν Ναβατ καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ιεροβοαμ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐξόπισθεν κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην
22 Wana wa Israeli wakafuata dhambi zote za Yeroboamu na hawakujiepusha nazo,
καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ιεροβοαμ ᾗ ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς
23 basi Yahwe akawaondoa Israeli kutoka usoni pake, kama alivyokuwa amesema kupitia watumishi wake wote manabii kwamba angeweza kufanya. Hivyo Israeli walichukuliwa kutoka nchi yao kwenda Ashuru, na iko hivyo hata leo.
ἕως οὗ μετέστησεν κύριος τὸν Ισραηλ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἀπῳκίσθη Ισραηλ ἐπάνωθεν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
24 Mfalme wa Ashuru akawaleta watu kutoka Babeli na kutoka Kutha, na kutoka Ava, na kutoka Hamathi na Sefarvaimu, na kuwaweka katika mji wa Samaria na kuishi katika huo mji wake.
καὶ ἤγαγεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος τὸν ἐκ Χουνθα καὶ ἀπὸ Αια καὶ ἀπὸ Αιμαθ καὶ Σεπφαρουαιν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας ἀντὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς
25 Ikatokea wakati walipoanza kuishi huko hawakumcha Yahwe. Hivyo Yahwe akatuma simba miongoni mwao ambao waliwaua baadhi yao.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν κύριον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λέοντας καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς
26 Basi wakaongea na mfalme wa Ashuru, wakisema, “Wale mataifa uliowaamisha na kuwaweka kwenye miji ya Samaria hawayajui mambo wanayotakiwa kuyafanya kutokana na mungu wa nchi. Hivyo alikuwa amewatuma simba kwenda kwao, na, tazama, wale simba walikuwa wakiwauua watu huko kwa sababu hawakufahamu yale mambo waliyokuwa wanatakiwa kuyafanya kwa mungu wa nchi.”
καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἀπῴκισας καὶ ἀντεκάθισας ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς τοὺς λέοντας καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν θανατοῦντες αὐτούς καθότι οὐκ οἴδασιν τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς
27 Kisha mfalme wa Ashuru akatoa amri, akisema, “Mchukueni mmoja wa makuhani hapo ambaye mmemleta kutoka huko, na mumwache aende na kuishi huko, na mumwache awafundishe mambo yanayotakiwa kwa mungu wa nchi.”
καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικείτωσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς
28 Hivyo mmoja wa makuhani ambaye walimchukua kutoka Samaria akaja na kuishi katika Betheli; akawafundisha jinsi wavyotakiwa mcha Yahwe.
καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθηλ καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσιν τὸν κύριον
29 Watu wa kila kabila wakajifanyia miungu yao wenyewe, na kuiweka mahala pa juu ambapo Wasamaria walifanya kila kabila katika mji ambako walipoishi.
καὶ ἦσαν ποιοῦντες ἔθνη ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν ὧν ἐποίησαν οἱ Σαμαρῖται ἔθνη ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἐν αἷς κατῴκουν ἐν αὐταῖς
30 Watu wa Babeli wakatengeneza Sakoth Benithi; watu wa Sakoth wakatengeneza Nergali; watu wa Hamathi wakatengeza Ashima;
καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Βαβυλῶνος ἐποίησαν τὴν Σοκχωθβαινιθ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Χουθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Νηριγελ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Αιμαθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Ασιμαθ
31 Waavi wakatengeneza Nibhazi na Tartaki. Nao Wasefarvi wakwachoma watoto wao kwenye moto kwa Adrameleki na Anameleki, wale miungu wa Sefarvaimu.
καὶ οἱ Ευαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Εβλαζερ καὶ τὴν Θαρθακ καὶ οἱ Σεπφαρουαιν κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Αδραμελεχ καὶ Ανημελεχ θεοῖς Σεπφαρουαιν
32 Pia wakamcha Yahwe, na kuwateua kutoka miongoni mwao makuhani wa mahali pa juu, ambao waliteketeza kwa ajili yao kwenye hekalun mahali pa juu.
καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ κατῴκισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει ἐν ᾗ κατῴκουν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν
33 Wakamcha Yahwe na pia kuabudu miungu yao wenyewe, sawa sawa na tamaduni za mataifa kutoka miongoni mwao waliokuwa wamewachukua.
τὸν κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὅθεν ἀπῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν
34 Hadi siku hii ya leo wameshikilia tamaduni zao za zamani. Wala hawamwogopi Yahwe, wala hawazifuati sheria zake, torati, au amri ambazo Yahwe aliwapa watu wa Yakobo ambaye alemwita jina Israeli
ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης αὐτοὶ ἐποίουν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ φοβοῦνται καὶ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν κατὰ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν ἣν ἐνετείλατο κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιακωβ οὗ ἔθηκεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ
35 pamoja na ambao Yahwe alifanya agano nao na kuwaamuru, “Msiiche miungu mingine, wala kuisujudia, wala kuiabudu, wala kuitolea sadaka.
καὶ διέθετο κύριος μετ’ αὐτῶν διαθήκην καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους καὶ οὐ προσκυνήσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ λατρεύσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ θυσιάσετε αὐτοῖς
36 Lakini Yahwe, ambaye aliwatoa kutoka nchi ya Misri kwa nguvu kubwa na mkono ulionyooshwa, yeye ndiye mnayetakiwa kumwabudu, yeye ndiye manayetakiwa kumsujudia, na yeye ndiye mnayetakiwa kumtolea sadaka.
ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ ὃς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύι μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ αὐτὸν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε καὶ αὐτῷ θύσετε
37 Na sheria na hukumu, na torati na amri ambazo alizoziandika kwa ajili yenu, mtazishika milele. Hivyo msiiche miungu mingine,
καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα καὶ τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς ἃς ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν φυλάσσεσθε ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους
38 na agano ambalo nimelifanya pamoja nanyi, hamtalisahau; wala kuicha miungu mingine.
καὶ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διέθετο μεθ’ ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους
39 Lakini Yahwe Mungu wenu, ndiye ambaye mtakayemcha. Atawalinda mbali na nguvu ya maadui zenu,”
ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ τὸν κύριον θεὸν ὑμῶν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν
40 Hawatasikia, kwasababu waliendelea kufanya yale waliyokuwa wameyafanya nyuma.
καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν ὃ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν
41 Hivyo haya mataifa wakamcha Yahwe na pia wakaabudu sanamu zao za kuchonga, na watoto wao wakafanya hivyo hivyo na watoto wa watoto wao. Wakaendelea kufanya yale ambayo babu zao waliyoyafanya, hata leo.
καὶ ἦσαν τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν ἦσαν δουλεύοντες καί γε οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν καθὰ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
