Abijam
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
Mwaka wa kumi na nane wa mfalme Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya alianza kutawala juu ya Yuda.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Miaka mitatu akatawala huko Yerusalemu; na jina la mamaye aliitwa Maaka, binti Absalomu.
3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
Akaziendea dhambi zote za babaye, alizozifanya kabla yake; wala moyo wake haukuwa mkamilifu na Bwana, Mungu wake, kama moyo wa Daudi babaye.
4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
Walakini kwa ajili ya Daudi, Bwana, Mungu wake, akampa taa humo Yerusalemu, amwinue mwanawe baada yake, na kuufanya imara Yerusalemu;
5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
kwa sababu Daudi alifanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Bwana, wala hakukosa katika yote aliyomwamuru, siku zote za maisha yake, isipokuwa katika habari ya Uria, Mhiti.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
Basi kulikuwa na vita kati ya Rehoboamu na Yeroboamu siku zote za maisha yake.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Na mambo yote ya Abiya yaliyosalia, na yote aliyoyafanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Yuda? Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Abiya na Yeroboamu.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
Abiya akalala na baba zake, wakamzika mjini mwa Daudi. Akatawala Asa mwanawe mahali pake.
Asa
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
Mwaka wa ishirini wa Yeroboamu mfalme wa Israeli, Asa alianza kutawala juu ya Yuda.
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Akatawala miaka arobaini na mmoja huko Yerusalemu; na jina la mamaye aliitwa Maaka, binti Absalomu.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
Basi, Asa akafanya yaliyo mema machoni pa Mungu, kama alivyofanya babaye Daudi.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Akawafukuza mahanithi katika nchi, akaziondoa sanamu zote walizozifanya baba zake.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
Hata na Maaka, mamaye, akamwondolea daraja yake asiwe malkia, kwa kuwa amefanya sanamu ya kuchukiza kwa Ashera; basi Asa akaikata sanamu yake akaiteketeza penye kijito cha Kidroni.
14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
Lakini mahali pa juu hapakuondoshwa; ila moyo wake Asa ulikuwa mkamilifu kwa Bwana siku zake zote.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Akavileta vile vitu alivyovitakasa baba yake, na vile alivyovitakasa yeye mwenyewe, katika nyumba ya Bwana, fedha; na dhahabu, na vyombo.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli siku zao zote.
17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Kisha, Baasha mfalme wa Israeli akaondoka juu ya Yuda, akaujenga Rama, ili asimwache mtu ye yote kutoka wala kuingia kwa Asa mfalme wa Yuda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Ndipo Asa akazitwaa fedha zote na dhahabu zilizosalia katika hazina za nyumba ya Bwana, na hazina za nyumba ya mfalme, akazitia mikononi mwa watumishi wake; mfalme Asa akawatuma kwa Ben-hadadi, mwana wa Tabrimoni, mwana wa Hezioni, mfalme wa Shamu, aliyekaa Dameski, akasema,
19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
Tumepatana mimi nawe, na baba yangu na baba yako; angalia, nimekuletea zawadi, fedha na dhahabu; basi nenda, uyavunje mapatano yako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli, ili aniondokee mimi.
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Naye Ben-hadadi akamsikiliza mfalme Asa, akawatuma wakuu wa majeshi yake juu ya miji ya Israeli, akapiga Iyoni, na Dani, na Abel-beth-maaka na Kinerothi yote, na nchi yote ya Naftali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof , that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
Ikawa Baasha aliposikia habari hiyo akaacha kuujenga Rama, akaenda akakaa Tirza.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Ndipo mfalme Asa akatangaza kwa Yuda pia; asiachiliwe mtu; nao wakayachukua mawe ya Rama na miti yake, aliyoijengea Baasha; naye mfalme Asa akajenga kwa vitu hivyo Geba wa Benyamini na Mispa.
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Na mambo yote ya Asa yaliyosalia, na nguvu zake zote, na yote aliyoyafanya, na miji aliyoijenga, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Yuda? Lakini alipokuwa mzee alikuwa na ugonjwa wa miguu.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
Asa akalala na babaze, akazikwa pamoja na babaze mjini mwa Daudi baba yake. Na Yehoshafati mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
Israel
Nadab
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
Nadabu mwana wa Yeroboamu alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli, mwaka wa pili wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, akatawala juu ya Israeli miaka miwili.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, akaiendea njia ya baba yake, na kosa lake alilowakosesha Israeli.
Baasha
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
Basi Baasha wa Ahiya, wa mbari ya Isakari, akamfanyia fitina; Baasha akampiga huko Gibethoni ulio wa Wafilisti; kwani Nadabu na Israeli wote walikuwa wakiuhusuru Gibethoni.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
Mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda Baasha akamwua, akatawala mahali pake.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
Ikawa mara alipotawala, akawapiga nyumba yote ya Yeroboamu. Hakumwachia Yeroboamu mwenye pumzi ye yote, hata alipomharibu sawasawa na neno la Bwana alilolinena kwa mtumishi wake Ahiya, Mshiloni;
30 because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
kwa sababu ya makosa yake Yeroboamu aliyoyakosa, ambayo kwa hayo aliwakosesha Israeli; kwa sababu ya chukizo lake alilomchukiza Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, hata kumghadhibisha.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Basi mambo yote ya Nadabu yaliyosalia, na yote aliyoyafanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Kulikuwa na vita kati ya Asa na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli siku zao zote.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
Katika mwaka wa tatu wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Baasha mwana wa Ahiya alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli wote huko Tirza, akatawala miaka ishirini na minne.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana akaiendea njia ya Yeroboamu, na kosa lake ambalo kwa hilo aliwakosesha Israeli.
