Kings III 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na tano wa mfame Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya alianza kutawala juu yaYuda.
2 And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
Alitawala kwa miaka mitata kule Yerusalemu. Jina la mama yake allikuwa Maaka. Alikuwa binti wa Absalomu.
3 And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].
Naye alitembea katika dhambi zote ambazo baba yake alizifanya kabla yake; moyo wake haukuwa mkalifu kwa BWANA, Mungu wake kama moyo wa Daudi, babu yake ulivyokuwa.
4 Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
Hata hivyo, kwa ajili ya Daudi, BWANA, Mungu wake alimpa taa Yerusalemu kwa kumwinua mwanae baada yake ili kuiimarisha Yerusalemu.
5 Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
Mungu alifanya haya kwa sababu Daudi alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pake; wakati wote wa uhai wake, hakugeuka wala hakukosa katika yote aliyomwamuru, isipokuwa tu swala la Uria Mhiti.
Sasa kulikuwa na vita kati ya Rehoboamu na Jeroboamu katika siku zote za maisha ya Abiya.
7 And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.
Kwa mambo mengine ya Abiya, yote aliyofanya, je, hayajaandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda? Sasa kulikuwa na vita kati ya Abiya na Yeroboamu.
8 And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.
Abiya akalala na mababu zake, nao wakamzika katika mji wa Daudi. Asa mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
9 In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Asa akaanza kutawala Yuda.
10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
Alitawala kwa miaka arobaini na moja kule Yerusalemu. Bibi yake alikuwa Maaka, binti wa Absalomu.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
Asa akafanya yaliyo mema machono mwa BWANA, kama alivyofanya Daudi, babu yake.
12 And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.
Yeye aliwafukuza kutoka katika nchi wale makahaba wa kipagani na akaziondoa sanamu zote ambazo babu zake walikuwa wametengeneza.
13 And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
Pia alimwondoa bibi yake asiwe Malkia, kwa sababu alikuwa amefanya sanamu ya kuchukiza kwa Ashera. Asa aliikata sanamu ya kuchukiza na kuiteketeza katika Bonde la Kidroni.
14 But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.
Lakini pale mahali pa juu hapakuchukuliwa. Hata hivyo. Moyo wa Asa ulikuwa mkamilifu mbele ya BWANA katika siku zake zote.
15 And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.
Alivirerjesha katika nyumba ya BWANA vitu vile vilivyokuwa vimetengwa kwa ajili ya BWANA, na vile vitu vyake vilivyokuwa vimetengezwa kwa fedha, na dhahabu na vyombo.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
Basi kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, kwa miaka yao yote.
17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.
Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, akaivamia na kuijenga Rama, kiasi kwamba hakumruhusu yeyote kuondoka au kuingia katika nchi ya Asa mfalme wa Yuda.
18 And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
Kisha Asa akazichukua zile fedha na dhahabu zilizokuwa zimebaki kwenye hazina kwenye nyumba ya BWANA, na katika hazina ya ikulu ya mfalme. Akaziweka katika mikono ya watumishi wake na kuzituma kwa Beni Hadadi mwana wa Tabrimoni mwana wa Hezioni, mfalme wa Shamu ambaye alikuwa akishi Dameski. Akamwambia,
19 Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
“Naomba tufanye patano kati yangu na wewe, kama ilivyokuwa kati ya baba yangu na baba yako. Tazama, Nimekutumia zawadi ya fedha na dhahabu. Ili uvunje agano lako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, ili kwamba aniache.”
20 And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
Beni Hadadi akamsikiliza mfalme Asa na kutuma wakuu wa majeshi yake, nao wakaishambulia miji ya Israeli. Wakaishambulia Ijoni, Dani, Abeliya Bethi Maaka, na Kinerothi yote, pamoja na nchi yote ya Naftali.
21 And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
Ikawa Baasha aliposikia haya, akaacha kuijenga Rama akarudi Tirza.
22 And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
Kisha mfalme Asa akaitangazia Yuda yote. Hakuna aliyeachwa. Wakayabeba mawe na miti ya Rama ambayo Baasha alikuwa akijengea mji. Kisha mfalme Asa akavitumia hivyo vitu kuijenga Geba ya Benjamini na Mispa.
23 And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Mambo mengine yanyohusu utawala wa Asa, uwezo wake wote, yote aliyofanya, na miji aliyoijenga, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Yuda? Lakini wakati wa uzee wake alipata ugonjwa wa miguu.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
Kisha Asa akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa pamoja nao katika mji wa Daudi baba yake. Yehoshafati mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
25 And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.
Nadabu mwana wa Yerobiamu alianza kutawala huko Israeli wakati wa mwaka wa pili wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda; Aliitawala Israeli kwa miaka miwili.
26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
Akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele y a macho ya BWANA naye akatembea katika njia ya baba yake, na katika dhambi yake, aliisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi.
27 And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and smote him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
Baasha mwana wa Ahiya, wa familia ya Isakari, akafanya hila dhidi ya Nadabu; Baasha akamwua huko Gibethoni, ambao ulikuwa mji wa Wafilisti, kwa kuwa Nadabu na Israeli walikuwa wakiuhusuru Gibethoni.
28 And Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha alimwua Nadabu naye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
29 And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,
Mara tu baad ya kuwa mfalme, Baasha aliwaua watu wote wa familia ya Yeroboamu. Hakumwacha hata mmoja wa uzao wa Yeroboamu awe hai; Kwa njia hii akawa ameuharibu ukoo wote wa kifalme, kama vile BWANA alivyokuwa amesema kupitia mtumishi wake Ahiya Mshilo,
30 for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
kwa sababu ya dhambi za Yeroboamu ambazo alifanya na akaisababishia Israeli kufanya dhambi, kwa kuwa alimkasirisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli.
31 And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Mambo mengine yanayomhusu Nadabu, na yote aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
32 [And there was a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in all their days. ]
Kisha kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli katika siku zao zote.
33 And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha mwana wa Ahiya alianza kuitawala Israeli yote huko Tirza naye alitawala kwa miaka ishirini na nne.
34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
Naye akafanya yaliyo mabaya katika macho ya BWANA na akatembea katika njia ya Yeroboamu na katika dhambi yake ambayo kwa hiyo aliifanya Israeli kufanya dhambi.
