2 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Azaria mũrũ wa Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
2 He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
Nake aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Jekolia, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
3 He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
4 But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona o na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
5 Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
Jehova nĩahũũrire mũthamaki na mangũ o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire, na aatũũrire nyũmba arĩ wiki. Jothamu mũrũ wa mũthamaki akĩrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agaathaga andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
6 [If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Azaria, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
7 Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
Azaria akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hakuhĩ nao itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jothamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
8 After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Zekaria mũrũ wa Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩeri ĩtandatũ.
9 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli mehie.
10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi nĩaciirĩire gũũkĩrĩra Zekaria. Akĩmũtharĩkĩra mbere ya andũ, akĩmũũraga, nake agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
11 Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Zekaria, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
12 When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩirio Jehu nĩkĩahingire, kĩrĩa kĩoigĩte atĩrĩ: “Njiaro ciaku nĩigaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wa Isiraeli nginya rũciaro rwa kana.”
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
Na rĩrĩ, Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi aatuĩkire mũthamaki mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa ũthamaki wa Uzia mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamaka mweri ũmwe kũu Samaria.
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi akiuma Tiriza, agĩthiĩ Samaria. Agĩtharĩkĩra Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi kũu Samaria, akĩmũũraga, na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
15 Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Shalumu, na ndundu ya gũũkanĩrĩra ĩrĩa aatongoretie, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
16 While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Menahemu, arutĩtie Tiriza agĩtharĩkĩra Tifisa, na akĩũraga mũndũ wothe warĩ itũũra, rĩu inene thĩinĩ o na arĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ narĩo, tondũ nĩmaregire kũhingũra ihingo ciao. Akĩhũũra Tifisa, na agĩtarũra nda cia andũ-a-nja arĩa maarĩ na nda.
17 When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na agĩthamaka Samaria mĩaka ikũmi.
18 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Hĩndĩ ya wathani wake wothe, ndaigana gũtigana na mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
19 Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Puli mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũcio, nake Menahemu akĩmũhe taranda ngiri ĩmwe cia betha nĩguo amũteithĩrĩrie kũrũmia ũthamaki wake wega.
20 Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
Menahemu agĩĩtia mbeeca icio na hinya kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli. Mũndũ o wothe gĩtonga aarĩ arute cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha, nĩguo iheo mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Ashuri akĩehera, na ndaikarire bũrũri ũcio rĩngĩ.
21 [If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Menahemu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
22 Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
Menahemu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Pekaia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
23 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtano wa ũthamaki wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Pekaia mũrũ wa Menahemu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.
Pekaia agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
25 Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
Ũmwe wa anene ake, Peka mũrũ wa Remalia, agĩciirĩra ndundu ya kũmũũkĩrĩra. Arĩ na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano kuuma Gileadi, agĩthiĩ, akĩũraga Pekaia hamwe na Arigobu na Ariehi, kũu Samaria, kĩirigo-inĩ gĩa kwĩgitĩra kĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Peka akĩũraga Pekaia na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
26 Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Pekaia, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
27 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Peka mũrũ wa Remalia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
28 He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Ndaigana gũtigana na mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
29 While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
Hĩndĩ ya Peka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩguo Tigilathu-Pileseru, mũthamaki wa Ashuri, ookire agĩtunyana Ijoni, na Abeli-Bethi-Maaka, na Janoa, na Kadeshi na Hazoru. Nĩatunyanire Gileadi, na Galili, hamwe na bũrũri wothe wa Nafitali na agĩthaamĩria andũ aakuo Ashuri.
30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.
Ningĩ Hoshea mũrũ wa Ela agĩciirĩra ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra Peka mũrũ wa Remalia. Nake akĩmũtharĩkĩra na akĩmũũraga, agĩcooka agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jothamu mũrũ wa Uzia.
31 Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Peka, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
32 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wa Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Jothamu mũrũ wa Uzia mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
33 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ. Nyina eetagwo Jerusha mwarĩ wa Zadoku.
34 He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.
Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa ithe Uzia eekĩte.
35 But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo. Jothamu agĩaka rĩngĩ kĩhingo kĩa rũgongo kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova.
36 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jothamu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
37 It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.
(Matukũ-inĩ macio Jehova akĩambĩrĩria gũtũma Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata, na Peka mũriũ wa Remalia, mokĩrĩre Juda.)
38 Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
Nake Jothamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra inene rĩa Daudi, na norĩo itũũra rĩa ithe. Nake mũriũ Ahazu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
