Jeroboam's Son
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
Siku zile akaugua Abiya, mwana wa Yeroboamu.
2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
Yeroboamu akamwambia mkewe, Ondoka, tafadhali, ujibadilishe, wasikujue kuwa mkewe Yeroboamu; ukaende Shilo; tazama, yuko huko Ahiya nabii, aliyeninena mimi ya kwamba nitakuwa mfalme juu ya watu hawa.
3 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
Twaa mkononi mikate kumi, na kaki, na mtungi wa asali, ukamwendee; naye atakuambia kijana atakuwaje.
4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Akafanya hivi mkewe Yeroboamu, akaondoka, akaenda Shilo, akaja nyumbani kwa Ahiya. Basi Ahiya hakuweza kuona; kwa kuwa macho yake yamepofuka kwa sababu ya uzee wake.
5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman .
Bwana akamwambia Ahiya, Angalia, mkewe Yeroboamu anakuja akuulize mambo ya mwanawe; kwa maana hawezi; hivi na hivi umwambie; kwani itakuwa akiingia atajifanya kuwa mwanamke mwingine.
6 And it was so , when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings .
Ikawa, Ahiya alipoisikia sauti ya miguu yake, akiingia mlangoni, alisema, Karibu, mkewe Yeroboamu; mbona wajifanya kuwa mwingine maana nimetumwa kwako wewe, mwenye maneno mazito.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
Nenda, umwambie Yeroboamu, Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Kwa kuwa nilikutukuza miongoni mwa watu, nikakufanya uwe mkuu juu ya watu wangu Israeli,
8 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
nikaurarulia mbali ufalme utoke nyumba yake Daudi, na kukupa wewe; walakini wewe hukuwa kama mtumishi wangu Daudi, aliyezishika amri zangu, na kunifuata kwa moyo wake wote, asifanye lo lote ila yaliyo mema machoni pangu;
9 but hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
lakini umekosa kuliko wote waliokutangulia, umekwenda kujifanyia miungu mingine, na sanamu zilizoyeyuka, unikasirishe, na kunitupa nyuma yako;
10 therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
tazama, kwa hiyo mimi nitaleta mabaya juu ya nyumba yake Yeroboamu, nami nitamkatia Yeroboamu kila mwanamume, aliyefungwa na aliyeachwa katika Israeli, nami kuondoa nitawaondoa waliobaki wa nyumba yake Yeroboamu, kama mtu aondoavyo mavi, hata itakapokwisha pia.
11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it .
Yeye afaye wa Yeroboamu mjini mbwa watamla; afaye mashambani ndege wa angani watamla; kwa kuwa Bwana amelinena hilo.
12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
Basi ondoka, urudi nyumbani kwako; na miguu yako itakapoingia mjini huyo kijana atakufa.
13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
Na Israeli wote watamlilia, na kumzika, kwa maana ndiye peke yake wa Yeroboamu atakayeingia kaburini; kwa sababu limeonekana ndani yake jambo lililo jema kwa Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, nyumbani mwa Yeroboamu.
14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
Tena Bwana atajiinulia mfalme wa Israeli atakayeiharibu nyumba ya Yeroboamu siku ile; na nini tena hata sasa?
15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
Kwa kuwa Bwana atawapiga Israeli kama manyasi yatikiswavyo majini; naye atawang'oa Israeli katika nchi hii njema, aliyowapa baba zao, naye atawatawanya ng'ambo ya Mto; kwa sababu wamejifanyia maashera yao, wakimkasirisha Bwana.
16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
Naye atawatoa Israeli kwa ajili ya makosa ya Yeroboamu, aliyoyakosa, ambayo kwa hayo amewakosesha Israeli.
17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
Basi mkewe Yeroboamu akaondoka, akaenda zake, akafika Tirza; naye alipofika kizingitini kwa nyumba, huyo kijana akafa.
18 and they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Israeli wote wakamzika, wakamlilia; sawasawa na neno la Bwana, alilolinena kwa mkono wa mtumishi wake Ahiya nabii.
19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Na mambo yake Yeroboamu yaliyosalia, ya kupigana na ya kutawala, tazama, yameandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli.
20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
Na siku alizotawala Yeroboamu zilikuwa miaka ishirini na miwili; akalala na babaze, naye Nadabu mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
Judah
Rehoboam
21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
Naye Rehoboamu mwana wa Sulemani akatawala katika Yuda. Rehoboamu akaanza kutawala alipokuwa mwenye miaka arobaini na mmoja, akatawala miaka kumi na saba huko Yerusalemu, mji aliouchagua Bwana miongoni mwa kabila zote za Israeli, ili aliweke jina lake huko. Na jina la mamaye aliitwa Naama, Mwamoni.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Basi Yuda wakafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana; wakamtia wivu, kwa makosa yao waliyoyakosa, kuliko yote waliyoyafanya baba zao.
23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
Maana hao pia wakajijengea mahali pa juu, na nguzo, na maashera, juu ya kila kilima kirefu, na chini ya kila mti wenye majani mabichi.
24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Na mahanithi walikuwako katika nchi, wakafanya sawasawa na machukizo yote ya mataifa Bwana aliowafukuza mbele ya wana wa Israeli.
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
Ikawa, mwaka wa tano wa mfalme Rehoboamu, akapanda Shishaki, mfalme wa Misri, juu ya Yerusalemu;
26 and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
akazichukua hazina za nyumba ya Bwana, na hazina za nyumba ya mfalme; akazichukua zote. Akazichukua pia ngao zote za dhahabu alizozifanya Sulemani.
27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
Mfalme Rehoboamu akafanya ngao za shaba mahali pake, akawakabidhi wakuu wa walinzi, waliongoja mlangoni pa nyumba ya mfalme.
28 And it was so , when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
Ikawa kila wakati mfalme alipoingia nyumbani mwa Bwana, hao walinzi walizichukua; wakazirudisha tena katika chumba cha walinzi.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Na mambo yake Rehoboamu yaliyosalia, na yote aliyoyafanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Yuda?
30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Rehoboamu na Yeroboamu siku zote.
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
Rehoboamu akalala na babaze, akazikwa pamoja na babaze mjini mwa Daudi. Na jina la mamaye aliitwa Naama, Mwamoni. Na mwanawe, Abiya, alitawala mahali pake.
