1 Wafalme 16
1 Neno la BWANA lilimjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani kinyume cha Baasha, likisema,
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Ju son of Anani to Baasa, [saying],
2 Ingawa Nilikuinua kutoka kwenye mavumbi na kukufanya kuwa kiongozi wa watu wangu Israeli, Lakini umetembea katika njia za Yeroboamu na umewafanya watu wangu Israeli kufanya dhambi, ili kunikasirisha dhidi ya dhambi zao.
Forasmuch as I lifted thee up from the earth, and made thee ruler over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their vanities;
3 Tazama, Nitamfagia kabisa Baasha na familia yake na nitaifanya familia yako kama familia ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.
Behold, I raise up [enemies] after Baasa, and after his house; and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat.
4 Mbwa watamla yeyote ambaye anatoka kwa Baasha wanaofia mjini, na ndege wa angani watamla yeyote anayaefia shambani.”
Him that dies of Baasa in the city the dogs shall devour, and him that dies of his in the field the birds of the sky shall devour.
5 Lakini kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Baasha, aliyofanya, na uwezo wake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
Now the rest of the history of Baasa, and all that he did, and his mighty acts, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
6 Baasha akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Tirza, na Ela mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
And Baasa slept with his fathers, and they bury him in Thersa; and Ela his son reigns in his stead.
7 Kwa kupitia nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani neno la BWANA likaja kinyume na Baasha na familia yake, wote kwa sababu ya maovu yote aliyofanya machoni pa BWANA, akamghadhabisha kwa kazi ya mikono yake, kama familia ya Yeroboamu, na kwa sababu alikuwa ameiua familia yote ya Yeroboamu.
And the Lord spoke by Ju the son of Anani against Baasa, and against his house, [even] all the evil which he wrought before the Lord to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he smote him.
8 Katika mwaka wa kumi na sita wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli kule Tirza; akatawala kwa miaka miwili.
And Ela son of Baasa reigned over Israel two years in Thersa.
9 Mtumishi wake Zimri, mkuu wa nusu ya magari yake akatengeneza hila dhidi yake. Wakati huo Ela alikuwa Tirza, akinywa na kulewa kwenye nyumba ya Arza, ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa watumishi wa nyumbani huko Tirza.
And Zambri, captain of half his cavalry, conspired against him, while he was in Thersa, drinking himself drunk in the house of Osa the steward at Thersa.
10 Zimri akaiingia ndani, akamshambulia na kumwua, katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akawa mfalme mahali pake.
And Zambri went in and smote him and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
11 Zimri alipoaanza kutawala, mara tu baada ya kukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi, akawaua wanafamilia wote wa Baasha. Hakumwacha mtoto hata mmoja wa kiume, hakuna hata wa ndugu yake wala wa rafiki zake.
And it came to pass when he reigned, when he sat upon his throne,
12 Kwa hiyo Zimri aliingamiza familia yote ya Baasha, kama alivyokuwa ameambiwa kwa neno la BWANA, ambalo lilinenwa kinyume na Baasha na nabii Yehu,
that he smote all the house of Baasa, according to the word which the Lord spoke against the house of Baasa, and to Ju the prophet,
13 kwa dhambi zote za Baasha na za Ela mwanae ambazo walizifanya, ambazo kwazo waliisababisha Israeli kufanya dhambi, kiasi c ha kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, kuzikasilikia sanamu zao.
for all the sins of Baasa and Ela his son, as he led Israel astray to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel with their vanities.
14 Kwa mambo mengine yanayohusiana na Ela, yote ambayo alifanya, je hayajaandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
And the rest of the deeds of Ela which he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15 Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri alitawala kwa siku saba tu kule Tirza. Jeshi likafanya kambi kule Gibethoni, ambao ni mji wa Wafilisti.
And Zambri reigned in Thersa seven days: and the army of Israel [was] encamped against Gabathon of the Philistines.
16 Lile jeshi lililokuwa limeweka kambi kule lilisikika lilksema, “Zimri amepanga njama na amemwua mfalme.” Kwa hiyo siku hiyo hapo kambini, Israeli yote ikamtangaza Omri, mkuu wa jeshi, kuwa mfalme wa Israeli.
And the people heard in the army, saying, Zambri has conspired and smitten the king: and the people of Israel made Ambri the captain of the host king in that day in the camp over Israel.
17 Omri akapanda kutoka Gibethoni na Israeli yote pamoja naye, nao wakauhusuru Tirza.
And Ambri went up, and all Israel with him, out of Gabathon; and they besieged Thersa.
18 Kwa hiyoZimri alipoona kuwa mji umetekwa, akaingia kwenye ngome na akaivamia ikulu ya mfalme na kulichoma moto jengo lote pamoja na yeye; kwa hiyo akafa kwa moto.
And it came to pass when Zambri saw that his city was taken, that he goes into the inner chamber of the house of the king, and burnt the king's house over him, and died.
19 Hii ilikuwa ni kwa sababu ya dhambi alizofanya kwa kufanya maovu mbele ya macho ya BWANA, kwa kutembea katika njia ya Yeroboamu na katika dhambi ambazo alifanya, kiasi cha kuifanya Israeli wafanye dhambi.
Because of his sins which he committed, doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, so as to walk in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
20 Pia kwa mambo mengiine yanayomhusu Zimri, na fitina yake aliyofanya, je, hayakuandikwa kwenye kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
And the rest of the history of Zambri, and his conspiracies wherein he conspired, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
21 Sasa watu wa Israeli walikuwa wamegawanyika katika makundi mawili. Nusu ya watu walimfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi, wakamfanya kuwa mfalme, na Nusu walimfufata Omri.
Then the people of Israel divides; half the people goes after Thamni the son of Gonath to make him king; and half the people goes after Ambri.
22 Lakini watu waliomfuata Omri walikuwa na nguvu kuliko wale waliomfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi. Kwa hiyo Tibni akafa, na Omri akawa mfalme.
The people that followed Ambri overpowered the people that followed Thamni son of Gonath; and Thamni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Ambri reigned after Thamni.
23 Omri alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, naye akatawala miaka kumi na miwili. Alitawala akiwa Tirza kwa miaka sita.
In the thirty-first year of king Asa, Ambri begins to reign over Israel twelve years: he reigns six years in Thersa.
24 Akakinunua kilima cha Samaria kutoka kwa Shemeri kwa kilo 68 za fedha. Akajenga mji juu ya mlima na ule mji akauita Samaria, kwa sababu ya jina la Shemeri, mmiliki wa awali wa kile kilima.
And Ambri bought the mount Semeron of Semer the lord of the mountain for two talents of silver; and he built [upon] the mountain, and they called the name of the mountain [on] which he built, after the name of Semer the lord of the mount, Semeron.
25 Omri akafanya maovu mbele ya BWANA na akafanya yaliyo maovu zaidi kuliko wale waliokuwa kabla yake.
And Ambri did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and wrought wickedly beyond all that were before him.
26 Kwa kuwa alitembea katika njia zote za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati na katika dhambi zake ambazo kwa hizo aliwaongoza Waisraeli kufanya dhambi, ili kumkasirisha BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, ili kuwa na hasira juu ya sanamu zao za ubatili.
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins wherewith he caused Israel to sin, to provoke the Lord God of Israel by their vanities.
27 Kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Omri ambayo alfanya, na nguvu zake alizoonyesha, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya wafalme wa Israeli?
And the rest of the acts of Ambri, and all that he did, and all his might, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28 Kwa hiyo Omri akalala na mababu zake na akazikwa Samaria na Ahabu mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
And Ambri slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Achaab his son reigns in his stead.
29 Katika mwaka wa thelathiini na nane wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omri akaanza kutawala juu ya Israeli. Ahabu mwana wa Omri akatawala Israeli kule Samaria kwa miaka ishirini na mbili.
In the second year of Josaphat king of Juda, Achaab son of Ambri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya yaliyo maovu mbele ya BWANA, zaidi ya wote waliokuwa kabla yake.
And Achaab did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more wickedly than all that were before him.
31 Ikawa kidogo tu Ahabu ayaendee makosa ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, kwa hiyo akamwoa Yezebeli binti wa Ethibaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni; akaenda akamwabudu baali na akamsujudia.
And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, but he took to wife, Jezabel the daughter of Jethebaal king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
32 Akamjengea madhabahu Baali, ambayo alikuwa ameijenga kule Samaria.
And he set up an alter to Baal, in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria.
33 Ahabu akatengeneza Ashera. Ahabu akafanya maovu zaidi kumghadhabisha BWANA, Mungu wa Isareli, akamkasirisha kuliko wafalme wote wa Israeli waliokuwa kabla yake.
And Achaab made a grove; and Achaab did yet more abominably, to provoke the Lord God of Israel, and [to sin against] his own life so that he should be destroyed: he did evil above all the kings of Israel that were before him.
34 Katika siku zake Hieli Mbetheli aliijenga tena Yeriko. Akaijenga misingi ya mji kwa kufiwa na Abiramu mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, naye akayajenga malango ya mji kwa kufiwa na mwanae mdogo Segebu, na walifanya hivi kwa sababu walitii neno la BWANA, ambalo alikuwa amelinena kwa kinywa cha Joshua mwana wa Nuni.
And in his days Achiel the Baethelite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiron his first-born, and he set up the doors of it in Segub his younger son, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Joshua the son of Naue.
