Shunammite Woman's Estate
1 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
Basi Elisha alikuwa amemwambia yule mwanamke, ambaye alimfufulia mwanawe, akasema, Ondoka, ukaende wewe na jamaa yako, ukae hali ya kigeni utakakoweza kukaa; kwa sababu Bwana ameiita njaa; nayo itakuja juu ya nchi hii muda wa miaka saba.
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Akaondoka yule mwanamke, akafanya kama alivyosema mtu wa Mungu; akaenda, yeye na jamaa yake, akakaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti miaka saba.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
Ikawa miaka saba ilipoisha, yule mwanamke akarudi kutoka nchi ya Wafilisti; akatokea amlilie mfalme kwa ajili ya nyumba yake na shamba lake.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
Basi mfalme alikuwa akizungumza na Gehazi, mtumishi wa mtu wa Mungu, akinena, Uniambie, nakusihi, mambo makuu yote aliyoyafanya Elisha.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
Ikawa, alipokuwa katika kumwambia mfalme jinsi alivyomfufua mtu aliyekufa, tazama, huyo mwanamke aliyemfufulia mwanawe, alimlilia mfalme kwa ajili ya nyumba yake na shamba lake. Gehazi akasema, Bwana wangu mfalme, huyu ndiye mwanamke, na huyu ndiye mwanawe, ambaye Elisha alimfufua.
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was her's, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
Na mfalme alipomwuliza yule mwanamke, yeye akamweleza. Basi mfalme akamtolea akida, akasema, Mrudishie yote aliyokuwa nayo, na mapato yote ya shamba lake tangu siku aliposafiri, hata leo.
Elisha and Hazael
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
Kisha, Elisha akaenda Dameski; na Ben-hadadi, mfalme wa Shamu, alikuwa hawezi; akaambiwa ya kwamba, Yule mtu wa Mungu amefika hapa.
8 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
Mfalme akamwambia Hazaeli, Chukua zawadi mkononi mwako, ukaende ili kumlaki yule mtu wa Mungu, ukamwulize Bwana kwa kinywa chake, kusema, Je! Nitapona ugonjwa huu?
9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
Basi Hazaeli akaenda kumlaki, akachukua zawadi mkononi mwake, za kila kitu chema kilichopatikana Dameski, kiasi cha mizigo ya ngamia arobaini, akaenda, akasimama mbele yake akasema, Mwana wako Ben-hadadi, mfalme wa Shamu, amenituma kwako, kusema, Je nitapona ugonjwa huu?
10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
Elisha akamwambia, Enenda, ukamwambie, Bila shaka utapona; lakini Bwana amenionyesha ya kwamba bila shaka atakufa.
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
Akamkazia macho hata akatahayari; na yule mtu wa Mungu akalia machozi.
12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
Hazaeli akasema, Bwana wangu analilia nini? Akajibu, Kwa sababu nayajua mabaya utakayowatenda wana wa Israeli; utazichoma moto ngome zao, utawaua vijana wao kwa upanga, utawaseta-seta watoto wao wachanga na wanawake wao wenye mimba utawapasua.
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
Hazaeli akasema, Lakini mimi mtumwa wako ni nani, mimi niliye mbwa tu, hata nifanye jambo hili kubwa? Elisha akajibu, Bwana amenionyesha ya kwamba wewe utakuwa mfalme juu ya Shamu.
14 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
Ndipo akamwacha Elisha, akarudi kwa bwana wake; naye akamwambia, Elisha alikuambiaje? Akajibu, Aliniambia ya kuwa bila shaka utapona.
15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
Ikawa siku ya pili yake, akatwaa tandiko la kitanda, akalichovya katika maji, akalitandaza juu ya uso wake, hata akafa. Na Hazaeli akatawala badala yake.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
Katika mwaka wa tano wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, [Yehoshafati alipokuwa mfalme wa Yuda], alianza kutawala Yehoramu mwana wa Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda.
17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Alikuwa na umri wa miaka thelathini na miwili alipoanza kutawala, akatawala miaka minane huko Yerusalemu.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
Akaiendea njia ya wafalme wa Israeli kama walivyofanya nyumba ya Ahabu; kwa kuwa alikuwa amemwoa binti Ahabu; akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana.
19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
Walakini Bwana hakupenda kuiharibu Yuda, kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wake, kama alivyomwahidia akasema, kuwa atampa taa, yeye na wazao wake siku zote.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
Zamani zake, Edomu wakaasi mkononi mwa Yuda, wakajifanyia mfalme.
21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
Basi akaenda Yehoramu mpaka Sairi, na magari yake yote pamoja naye. Akaondoka usiku, akawapiga Waedomi waliomzunguka yeye na maakida wa magari; na watu wakakimbilia hemani kwao.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
Hivyo Edomu wakaasi mkononi mwa Yuda hata leo. Na Libna wakaasi zamani zizo hizo.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Na mambo yote ya Yehoramu yaliyosalia, na yote aliyoyafanya, je! Hayakuandikwa katika kitabu-cha-tarehe cha wafalme wa Yuda?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Akalala Yehoramu na baba zake, akazikwa pamoja na baba zake mjini mwa Daudi; na Ahazia mwanawe akatawala mahali pake.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli, Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu mfalme wa Yuda alianza kutawala.
26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Ahazia alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na miwili alipoanza kutawala; akatawala mwaka mmoja huko Yerusalemu. Na jina la mamaye aliitwa Athalia binti Omri mfalme wa Israeli.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
Akaiendea njia ya nyumba ya Ahabu, akafanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, kama walivyofanya nyumba ya Ahabu, kwa kuwa alikuwa mkwe wa jamaa ya Ahabu.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Akaenda pamoja na Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu ili kupigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu, huko Ramoth-gileadi; nao Washami wakamtia Yoramu jeraha.
29 And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Akarudi Yoramu mfalme, auguzwe katika Yezreeli jeraha walizotia Washami huko Rama alipopigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Shamu. Naye Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu mfalme wa Yuda akashuka amtazame Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu huko Yezreeli, kwa sababu alikuwa hawezi.
