Jehu
1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yehu mwana wa Hanani juu ya Baasha, kusema,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
Kwa kuwa mimi nilikuinua kutoka katika mavumbi, na kukufanya uwe mkuu juu ya watu wangu Israeli; nawe umeiendea njia ya Yeroboamu, na kuwakosesha watu wangu Israeli, hata wanighadhibishe kwa makosa yao;
3 behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
angalia, kuondoa nitawaondoa Baasha na jamaa yake; tena nitaifanya nyumba yako iwe kama nyumba ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.
4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
Mtu amfiaye Baasha mjini mbwa watamla; naye amfiaye mashambani ndege wa angani watamla.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Basi, mambo yote ya Baasha yaliyosalia, na aliyoyafanya, na nguvu zake, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli?
6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
Baasha akalala na babaze, akazikwa katika Tirza; naye Ela mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
7 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
Tena neno la Bwana likaja kwa mkono wa nabii Yehu mwana wa Hanani juu ya Baasha, na juu ya nyumba yake, kwa sababu ya mabaya yote aliyoyatenda machoni pa Bwana, akimghadhibisha kwa kazi ya mikono yake, kwa kufanana na nyumba ya Yeroboamu, na kwa sababu aliiharibu.
Civil War in Israel
8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na sita wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasha alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli huko Tirza, akatawala miaka miwili.
9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
Na mtumwa wake Zimri, jemadari wa nusu ya magari yake, akamfanyia fitina; alipokuwako Tirza akinywa hata kulewa nyumbani mwa Arsa, aliyekuwa juu ya nyumba huko Tirza;
10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
Zimri akaingia akampiga, akamwua, katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, akatawala mahali pake.
11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
Ikawa, alipoanza kutawala, mara alipoketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi, akawaua nyumba yote ya Baasha; hakumwachia mwanamume ye yote, wa jamaa zake, wala wa rafiki zake.
12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
Hivyo Zimri akaiharibu nyumba yote ya Baasha, sawasawa na neno la Bwana, alilolinena juu ya Baasha kwa Yehu nabii,
13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
kwa sababu ya makosa yake Baasha, na makosa yote ya Ela mwanawe, waliyoyakosa, na kuwakosesha Israeli, wakimghadhibisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kwa matendo yao ya ubatili.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Na mambo yote ya Ela yaliyosalia, na yote aliyoyafanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli?
15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda, Zimri akatawala muda wa siku saba huko Tirza. Basi, watu walikuwa wametua maragoni kupigana na Gibethoni, ulio wa Wafilisti.
16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
Na hao watu waliokuwako maragoni wakasikia habari ya kwamba Zimri amefanya fitina, tena amempiga mfalme; kwa hiyo Israeli wote wakamfanya Omri, jemadari wa jeshi, awe mfalme juu ya Israeli siku ile maragoni.
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Omri akapanda kutoka Gibethoni, na Israeli wote pamoja naye, wakauhusuru Tirza.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
Ikawa Zimri alipoona ya kuwa mji umetwaliwa, akaingia ngomeni mwa nyumba ya mfalme, akaiteketeza nyumba ya mfalme juu yake kwa moto, akafa;
19 for his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
kwa sababu ya makosa aliyoyakosa, akifanya mabaya machoni pa Bwana, kwa kuiendea njia ya Yeroboamu na makosa yake aliyoyafanya akiwakosesha Israeli.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Na mambo yote ya Zimri yaliyosalia na fitina yake aliyoifanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli?
Omri
21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
Ndipo watu wa Israeli wakatengwa sehemu mbili; nusu ya watu wakamfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi, ili wamfanye mfalme; nusu wakamfuata Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
Lakini hao watu waliomfuata Omri wakawashinda watu waliomfuata Tibni mwana wa Ginathi; basi akafa Tibni, akatawala Omri.
23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
Katika mwaka wa thelathini na moja wa Asa, mfalme wa Yuda, Omri alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli, akatawala miaka kumi na miwili. Akatawala huko Tirza miaka sita.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
Kisha akanunua kilima cha Samaria kwa Shemeri kwa talanta mbili za fedha; akajenga juu ya kilima kile, akauita mji alioujenga Samaria, kwa kuliandama jina lake Shemeri, aliyekuwa mwenye kilima.
25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
Omri akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, akatenda maovu kuliko wote waliomtangulia;
26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
kwa kuwa aliiendea njia yote ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, na makosa yake, aliyowakosesha Israeli, ili kumghadhibisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kwa matendo yao ya ubatili.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Nayo mambo yote ya Omri yaliyosalia aliyoyatenda, na uthabiti alioufanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Israeli?
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
Omri akalala na babaze, akazikwa huko Samaria; na Ahabu mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
Ahab
29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri alianza kutawala juu ya Israeli katika mwaka wa thelathini na nane wa Asa mfalme wa Yuda; akatawala Ahabu mwana wa Omri juu ya Israeli katika Samaria miaka ishirini na miwili.
30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
Ahabu mwana wa Omri akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana kuliko wote waliomtangulia.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
Ikawa, kama ingalikuwa neno dogo tu kuyaendea makosa ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, akamwoa Yezebeli binti Ethbaali, mfalme wa Wasidoni, akaenda akamtumikia Baali, akamsujudia.
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
Akamjengea Baali madhabahu katika nyumba ya Baali, aliyoijenga huko Samaria.
33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
Ahabu akaifanya Ashera; Ahabu akazidi kumghadhibisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kuliko wafalme wote wa Israeli waliomtangulia.
34 In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
Katika siku zake, Hieli Mbetheli akajenga Yeriko; akatia misingi yake kwa kufiwa na Abiramu mzaliwa wake wa kwanza, na kuyaweka malango yake kwa kufiwa na mwana wake mdogo Segubu; sawasawa na neno la Bwana alilolinena kwa Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
