Βασιλειῶν Αʹ 2
1 καὶ εἶπεν ἐστερεώθη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν κυρίῳ ὑψώθη κέρας μου ἐν θεῷ μου ἐπλατύνθη ἐπὶ ἐχθροὺς τὸ στόμα μου εὐφράνθην ἐν σωτηρίᾳ σου
Hana aliomba akasema, “moyo wangu wamtukuza BWANA. Pembe yangu imejulikana katika BWANA. Kinywa changu kinatamba dhidi ya maadui zangu, kwa kuwa naufurahia wokovu wako.
2 ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος ὡς κύριος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἅγιος πλὴν σοῦ
Hakuna aliye mtakatifu kama BWANA, kwa kuwa hakuna mwingine zaidi yako; hakuna mwamba kama Mungu wetu.
3 μὴ καυχᾶσθε καὶ μὴ λαλεῖτε ὑψηλά μὴ ἐξελθάτω μεγαλορρημοσύνη ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν ὅτι θεὸς γνώσεων κύριος καὶ θεὸς ἑτοιμάζων ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ
Msijivune sana hivyo kwa kiburi; vinywa vyenu visitoke majivuno. Kwa kuwa BWANA ni Mungu wa maarifa; yeye huyapima matendo kwa mizani.
4 τόξον δυνατῶν ἠσθένησεν καὶ ἀσθενοῦντες περιεζώσαντο δύναμιν
Pinde za mashujaa zimevunjika, bali wale wanaojikwaa hujivika nguvu kama mshipi.
5 πλήρεις ἄρτων ἠλαττώθησαν καὶ οἱ πεινῶντες παρῆκαν γῆν ὅτι στεῖρα ἔτεκεν ἑπτά καὶ ἡ πολλὴ ἐν τέκνοις ἠσθένησεν
Wale walio na shibe ya kutosha wamejikodisha ili wapate chakula; wale waliokuwa na njaa hawana njaa tena. Hata yule aliye kuwa tasa amezaa watoto saba, bali mwanamke mwenye watoto wengi amenyong'onyea.
BWANA huua na huuisha. Hushusha kuzimu na huleta tena juu. (Sheol h7585)
7 κύριος πτωχίζει καὶ πλουτίζει ταπεινοῖ καὶ ἀνυψοῖ
BWANA humfanya maskini, na yeye ndiye humtajirisha mtu. Yeye hudhili, lakini pia hukweza
8 ἀνιστᾷ ἀπὸ γῆς πένητα καὶ ἀπὸ κοπρίας ἐγείρει πτωχὸν καθίσαι μετὰ δυναστῶν λαῶν καὶ θρόνον δόξης κατακληρονομῶν αὐτοῖς
Yeye humwinua juu maskini toka mavumbini: Huwainua wahitaji toka jalalani na kuwaketisha pamoja na wakuu na kuwarithisha kiti cha enzi cha utukufu. Kwa kuwa nguzo za dunia ni za BWANA na ameukalisha ulimwengu juu yake.
9 διδοὺς εὐχὴν τῷ εὐχομένῳ καὶ εὐλόγησεν ἔτη δικαίου ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ἰσχύι δυνατὸς ἀνήρ
Yeye atazilinda nyayo za watu wake waaminifu, bali waovu watanyamazishwa gizani, kwa maana hakuna atayeshinda kwa nguvu zake.
10 κύριος ἀσθενῆ ποιήσει ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ κύριος ἅγιος μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ φρόνιμος ἐν τῇ φρονήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ πλούσιος ἐν τῷ πλούτῳ αὐτοῦ ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τούτῳ καυχάσθω ὁ καυχώμενος συνίειν καὶ γινώσκειν τὸν κύριον καὶ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς κύριος ἀνέβη εἰς οὐρανοὺς καὶ ἐβρόντησεν αὐτὸς κρινεῖ ἄκρα γῆς καὶ δίδωσιν ἰσχὺν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
Wale wampingao BWANA watavunjwa vipande vipande; atawapiga radi kutokea mbinguni. BWANA atahukumu miisho ya dunia; atampa nguvu mfalme wake na kuinua pembe ya mtiwa mafuta wake.”
11 καὶ κατέλιπον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἀπῆλθον εἰς Αρμαθαιμ καὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἦν λειτουργῶν τῷ προσώπῳ κυρίου ἐνώπιον Ηλι τοῦ ἱερέως
Nndipo Elikana akenda Rama, nyumbani kwake. Na yule mtoto akamtumikia BWANA machoni pa Eli, kuhani.
12 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ηλι τοῦ ἱερέως υἱοὶ λοιμοὶ οὐκ εἰδότες τὸν κύριον
Basi, watoto wa Eli walikuwa wakorofi. Wao hawakumheshimu BWANA.
13 καὶ τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ ἱερέως παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παντὸς τοῦ θύοντος καὶ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως ὡς ἂν ἡψήθη τὸ κρέας καὶ κρεάγρα τριόδους ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ
Desturi ya makuhani na watu ilikuwa kwamba endapo mtu yeyote ametoa dhabihu, mtumishi wa kuhani angekuja akiwa na uma wa meno matatu mkononi mwake, nyama ilipokuwa inatokoswa.
14 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν λέβητα τὸν μέγαν ἢ εἰς τὸ χαλκίον ἢ εἰς τὴν κύθραν πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἀνέβη ἐν τῇ κρεάγρᾳ ἐλάμβανεν ἑαυτῷ ὁ ἱερεύς κατὰ τάδε ἐποίουν παντὶ Ισραηλ τοῖς ἐρχομένοις θῦσαι κυρίῳ ἐν Σηλωμ
Naye angeutia uma huo sufuriani, au birikani au chomboni au chunguni; nyama yote ambayo ingeinuliwa na uma huo ingetwaliwa na kuhani mwenyewe. Ndivyo walivyofanya huko Shilo kwa Waisraeli wote waliokwenda huko.
15 καὶ πρὶν θυμιαθῆναι τὸ στέαρ ἤρχετο τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ ἔλεγεν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ θύοντι δὸς κρέας ὀπτῆσαι τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβω παρὰ σοῦ ἑφθὸν ἐκ τοῦ λέβητος
Tena, kabla ya kuteketeza mafuta, mtumishi wa kuhani alikuja, na kumwambia aliyekuwa akitoa dhabihu, “Tenga nyama ya kuchoma kwa ajili ya kuhani; kwa sababu hataikubali ile ya kutokosa kutoka kwako, bali tu ile mbichi.”
16 καὶ ἔλεγεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ θύων θυμιαθήτω πρῶτον ὡς καθήκει τὸ στέαρ καὶ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ ἐκ πάντων ὧν ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου καὶ εἶπεν οὐχί ὅτι νῦν δώσεις καὶ ἐὰν μή λήμψομαι κραταιῶς
Ikiwa mtu atamwambia, “Wachome mafuta kwanza, na kisha uchukue kiasi utakacho.” Ndipo angesema, “Hapana, utanipatia sasa hivi; la sivyo; Nitaichukua kwa lazima.”
17 καὶ ἦν ἡ ἁμαρτία τῶν παιδαρίων ἐνώπιον κυρίου μεγάλη σφόδρα ὅτι ἠθέτουν τὴν θυσίαν κυρίου
Dhambi ya vijana hawa ilikuwa mbaya sana mbele za BWANA, kwa sababu waliidharau dhabihu ya BWANA.
18 καὶ Σαμουηλ ἦν λειτουργῶν ἐνώπιον κυρίου παιδάριον περιεζωσμένον εφουδ βαρ
Lakini Samweli alimtumikia BWANA akiwa mdogo akivaa nguo ya naivera ya kitani.
19 καὶ διπλοΐδα μικρὰν ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέφερεν αὐτῷ ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς θῦσαι τὴν θυσίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν
Kila mwaka mama yake alimtengenezea kanzu dogo na kumletea, wakati wakija na mmewe kutoa dhabihu ya kila mwaka.
20 καὶ εὐλόγησεν Ηλι τὸν Ελκανα καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ λέγων ἀποτείσαι σοι κύριος σπέρμα ἐκ τῆς γυναικὸς ταύτης ἀντὶ τοῦ χρέους οὗ ἔχρησας τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ
Eli aliwabariki Elikana na mke wake na kusema, “BWANA akupatie watoto zaidi kwa mwanamke huyu kwa sababu ya ahadi yake aliyoitoa kwa BWANA.” Baadaye walirudi nyumbani kwao.
21 καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο κύριος τὴν Ανναν καὶ ἔτεκεν ἔτι τρεῖς υἱοὺς καὶ δύο θυγατέρας καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουηλ ἐνώπιον κυρίου
BWANA alimsaidia tena Hana, akawa amebeba mimba nyingine. Akazaa watoto watatu wa kiume na wa kike wawili. Wakati huo huo mtoto Samweli akakua akiwa mbele za BWANA.
22 καὶ Ηλι πρεσβύτης σφόδρα καὶ ἤκουσεν ἃ ἐποίουν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ
Basi Eli alikuwa mzee sana, akayasikia yote ambayo watoto wake walikuwa wakiwafanyia Waisraeli wote, na jinsi walivyotembea na mwanamke aliyekuwa akitumika katika lango la hema ya kukutania.
23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα τί ποιεῖτε κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὃ ἐγὼ ἀκούω ἐκ στόματος παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ κυρίου
Akawaambia, “Kwa nini mnafanya mambo hayo? Kwa maana nasikia matendo yenu maovu kutoka kwa watu hawa wote.”
24 μή τέκνα ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθὴ ἡ ἀκοή ἣν ἐγὼ ἀκούω μὴ ποιεῖτε οὕτως ὅτι οὐκ ἀγαθαὶ αἱ ἀκοαί ἃς ἐγὼ ἀκούω τοῦ μὴ δουλεύειν λαὸν θεῷ
Sivyo hivyo, watoto wangu, maana hii ninayoisikia siyo taarifa njema. Mnawakosesha watu wa BWANA.
25 ἐὰν ἁμαρτάνων ἁμάρτῃ ἀνὴρ εἰς ἄνδρα καὶ προσεύξονται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἐὰν τῷ κυρίῳ ἁμάρτῃ τίς προσεύξεται ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἤκουον τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν ὅτι βουλόμενος ἐβούλετο κύριος διαφθεῖραι αὐτούς
“Kama mtu mmoja akimkosea mwenzake, Mungu atamhukumu; Lakini mtu akimkosea BWANA, ni nani atakayemtetea mtu huyo?” Lakini hawakuitii sauti ya baba yao, sababu BWANA alinuia kuwaua.
26 καὶ τὸ παιδάριον Σαμουηλ ἐπορεύετο καὶ ἐμεγαλύνετο καὶ ἀγαθὸν καὶ μετὰ κυρίου καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων
Yule mtoto Samweli aliongezeka umri, na kupata kibali kwa BWANA na kwa watu pia.
27 καὶ ἦλθεν ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ πρὸς Ηλι καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀποκαλυφθεὶς ἀπεκαλύφθην πρὸς οἶκον πατρός σου ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ δούλων τῷ οἴκῳ Φαραω
Kisha mtu wa Mungu akamwendea Eli na kumwambia, “BWANA asema, 'Je, sikujifunua mwenyewe kwa nyumba ya baba zako, walipokuwa Misri utumwani nyumbani mwa Farao?
28 καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου ἐκ πάντων τῶν σκήπτρων Ισραηλ ἐμοὶ ἱερατεύειν καὶ ἀναβαίνειν ἐπὶ θυσιαστήριόν μου καὶ θυμιᾶν θυμίαμα καὶ αἴρειν εφουδ καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου τὰ πάντα τοῦ πυρὸς υἱῶν Ισραηλ εἰς βρῶσιν
Mimi nilimchagua yeye kutoka makabila yote ya Israeli awe kuhani wangu, apande madhabahuni kwangu, na kufukiza uvumba, na kuvaa kanzu ya naivera mbele yangu. Niliwapa nyumba ya baba zako dhabihu zote za wana wa Israeli zilizotolewa kwa moto.
29 καὶ ἵνα τί ἐπέβλεψας ἐπὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου καὶ εἰς τὴν θυσίαν μου ἀναιδεῖ ὀφθαλμῷ καὶ ἐδόξασας τοὺς υἱούς σου ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ ἐνευλογεῖσθαι ἀπαρχῆς πάσης θυσίας Ισραηλ ἔμπροσθέν μου
Kwanini basi, unaidharau dhabihu yangu na sadaka ambazo ninazitaka mahali ninapoishi? Kwanini unawaheshimu watoto wako kuliko mimi, kwa kujinenepesha ninyi wenyewe kwa uzuri wa kila sadaka ya watu wangu Israeli?'
30 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ εἶπα ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου διελεύσεται ἐνώπιόν μου ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ νῦν φησιν κύριος μηδαμῶς ἐμοί ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ τοὺς δοξάζοντάς με δοξάσω καὶ ὁ ἐξουθενῶν με ἀτιμωθήσεται
Maana, BWANA, Mungu wa Isareli, asema, niliahidi kwamba nyumba yako, na nyumba ya baba yako, yawapasa kwenda mbele zangu milele,' Lakini sasa BWANA asema. 'Mambo haya yapishe mbali. nami nisifanye hivi, maana nitawaheshimu wanaoniheshimu, bali wanaonidharau mimi hawatakuwa na thamani.
31 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὸ σπέρμα οἴκου πατρός σου
Tazama, siku zinakuja nitakapoondoa nguvu zako na nguvu za nyumba za baba yako, ili kwamba pasije kuwepo mtu mzee katika nyumba yako.
32 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σου πρεσβύτης ἐν οἴκῳ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας
Nawe utalitazama hangaiko katika makao yangu. Ingawa Israeli watapewa jambo jema, hapatakuwapo tena mtu yeyote mzee katika nyumba yako.
33 καὶ ἄνδρα οὐκ ἐξολεθρεύσω σοι ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου μου ἐκλιπεῖν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ καταρρεῖν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς περισσεύων οἴκου σου πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀνδρῶν
Yeyote miongoni mwenu nisiye mwondoa kutoka madhabahuni pangu, Nitasababisha macho yenu yaanguke, na ita nitasababisha huzuni maishani mwenu. Wanaume wote waliozaliwa katika familia yako watakufa.
34 καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον ὃ ἥξει ἐπὶ τοὺς δύο υἱούς σου τούτους Οφνι καὶ Φινεες ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἀποθανοῦνται ἀμφότεροι
Hii ndiyo itakuwa ishara kwako ambayo itawaijia watoto wako wakiume wawili, juu ya Hofni na Finehasi: Wote wawili watakufa siku moja.
35 καὶ ἀναστήσω ἐμαυτῷ ἱερέα πιστόν ὃς πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ μου ποιήσει καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτῷ οἶκον πιστόν καὶ διελεύσεται ἐνώπιον χριστοῦ μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας
Nami nitamwinua juu kuhani wangu mwaminifu atakaye fanya kile kilichomo moyoni mwangu na nafisini mwangu. Nami nitamjengea nyumba madhubuti; naye atakwenda mbele ya mfalme wangu mbarikiwa milele.
36 καὶ ἔσται ὁ περισσεύων ἐν οἴκῳ σου ἥξει προσκυνεῖν αὐτῷ ὀβολοῦ ἀργυρίου λέγων παράρριψόν με ἐπὶ μίαν τῶν ἱερατειῶν σου φαγεῖν ἄρτον
Kila mmoja aliyebakia nyumbani mwako atakuja na kusujudu mbele ya mtu huyo, akiomba kipande cha fedha na mkate mmoja, naye atasema, “Tafadhali uniajiri katika moja ya nafasi za kuhani ili niweze kula kipande cha mkate'”'
