1 Mafumu 15

1 Mʼchaka cha 18 cha ulamuliro wa Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Abiya anakhala mfumu ya Yuda,

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

2 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka zitatu. Amayi ake anali Maaka, mwana wa Abisalomu.

Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Abiya anachita zoyipa zonse zimene abambo ake anazichita. Sanali wangwiro pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wake, monga linachitira kholo lake Davide.

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.

4 Komabe chifukwa cha Davide, Yehova Mulungu wake anamupatsa nyale mu Yerusalemu pomupatsa mwana wolowa mʼmalo mwake ndi kumukhazikitsa kukhala wamphamvu mu Yerusalemu;

Nevertheless for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

5 pakuti Davide anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova ndipo sanalephere kusunga chilichonse chimene Yehova anamulamula masiku onse a moyo wake kupatula nkhani ija ya Uriya Mhiti.

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, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Panali nkhondo pakati pa Rehobowamu ndi Yeroboamu masiku onse a moyo wa Abiya.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

7 Tsono ntchito zina za Abiya, ndi zina zonse anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? Panali nkhondo pakati pa Abiya ndi Yeroboamu.

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.

8 Ndipo Abiya anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda momwe anayikidwa makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Asa, mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

9 Mʼchaka cha makumi awiri cha Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli, Asa anakhala mfumu ya Yuda,

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

10 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 41. Agogo ake akazi anali Maaka mwana wa Abisalomu.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Davide kholo lake.

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

12 Iye anachotsa mʼdzikomo amuna onse ochita zadama pochita chipembedzo chawo ndiponso anachotsa mafano onse amene makolo ake anawapanga.

And he banished the sodomites from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Iye anachotsanso gogo wake Maaka pa udindo wake wa amayi a mfumu, chifukwa choti anapanga fano lonyansa la Asera. Asa anagwetsa fanolo nakalitentha ku Chigwa cha Kidroni.

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.

14 Ngakhale sanachotse malo opembedzerapo mafano, mtima wa Asa unali wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Yehova masiku onse a moyo wake.

But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

15 Asa anabweretsa ku Nyumba ya Yehova zinthu zimene abambo ake anazipereka, ndiponso zinthu zimene iye mwini anazipereka: zagolide, siliva ndi ziwiya zotengera.

And he brought 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.

16 Panali nkhondo pakati pa Asa ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wawo.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Baasa mfumu ya Israeli anapita kukathira nkhondo dziko la Yuda, ndipo anamangira linga mzinda wa Rama kuletsa kuti wina aliyense asatuluke kapena kulowa mʼdziko la Asa, mfumu ya Yuda.

And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Tsono Asa anatenga siliva yense pamodzi ndi golide zimene zinatsala ku malo osungira chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Yehova ndiponso ku nyumba yake yaufumu. Anazipereka kwa atumiki ake, nawatuma kupita nazo kwa Beni-Hadadi mwana wa Tabirimoni, mwana wa Heziyoni, mfumu ya Aramu, amene ankakhala ku Damasiko ndipo anakamuwuza kuti,

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasuries 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 Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

19 “Tiyeni tigwirizane inu ndi ine, monga panali mgwirizano pakati pa abambo anu ndi abambo anga. Onani, ndikukutumizirani mphatso za siliva ndi golide. Tsopano kathetseni mgwirizano wanu ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli kuti andisiye.”

There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent to thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

20 Choncho Beni-Hadadi anamvera zimene ananena mfumu Asa ndipo anatumiza olamulira magulu ake ankhondo ku mizinda ya Israeli. Ndipo iye anagonjetsa Iyoni, Dani, Abeli-Beti-Maaka ndi dera lonse la Kinereti kuphatikiza dziko lonse la Nafutali.

So Benhadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Baasa atamva zimenezi, anasiya kumangira linga Rama ndipo anakakhala ku Tiriza.

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard of it, that he stopped building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

22 Pamenepo Mfumu Asa analamula anthu onse a ku Yuda osasiya ndi mmodzi yemwe, ndipo anachotsa ku Rama miyala ndi matabwa amene Baasa ankamangira kumeneko. Zipangizo zimenezi Mfumu Asa inamangira linga la Geba ku Benjamini ndi la ku Mizipa.

Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built it; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Tsono ntchito zina za Asa, za mphamvu zake ndi mizinda imene anayimanga ndi zina zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda? Koma pa nthawi ya ukalamba wake anadwala nthenda ya mapazi.

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.

24 Ndipo Asa anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda momwe anayikidwa makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide kholo lake. Ndipo Yehosafati mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

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.

25 Nadabu, mwana wa Yeroboamu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, ndipo analamulira Israeli zaka ziwiri.

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.

26 Nadabu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, anayenda mʼnjira za abambo ake ndi mu uchimo womwe anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.

27 Baasa mwana wa Ahiya, wa banja la Isakara anakonzera Nadabuyo chiwembu, ndipo anamukantha ku Gibetoni, mzinda wa Afilisti, pamene Nadabu ndi anthu onse a ku Israeli anali atawuzungulira.

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.

28 Baasa anapha Nadabu mʼchaka chachitatu cha Asa, mfumu ya ku Yuda ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

29 Iye atangoyamba kulamulira, anapha anthu onse a banja la Yeroboamu. Sanasiye ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo pa banjapo, koma anawononga anthu onse, molingana ndi mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula mwa mtumiki wake Ahiya wa ku Silo

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 to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

30 chifukwa cha machimo amene Yeroboamu anachita, ndiponso kuchimwitsa anthu a ku Israeli, naputa mkwiyo wa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.

Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

31 Tsono ntchito za Nadabu ndi zina zonse zimene anazichita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

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?

32 Panali nkhondo pakati pa Asa ndi Baasa mfumu ya Israeli pa nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wawo.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 Chaka chachitatu cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, Baasa mwana wa Ahiya anakhala mfumu ya Aisraeli onse ku Tiriza, ndipo analamulira zaka 24.

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.

34 Anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenda mʼnjira za Yeroboamu ndi kuchita tchimo lake limene linachimwitsa anthu a ku Israeli.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.
