1 Mafumu 22
1 Kwa zaka zitatu panalibe nkhondo pakati pa Aramu ndi Israeli.
Pea naʻa nau nofo pe ʻo tolu taʻu mo e taʻefai ha tau ʻe Silia mo ʻIsileli.
2 Koma pa chaka chachitatu, Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anapita kukacheza ndi mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, naʻe hoko hifo ʻa Sihosafate ko e tuʻi Siuta ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3 Mfumu ya ku Israeli nʼkuti itawuza atumiki ake kuti, “Kodi inu simukudziwa kuti Ramoti Giliyadi ndi dera lathu ndipo ife palibe chimene tikuchita kuti tilitenge deralo mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya Aramu?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻotautolu ʻa Lemoti ʻi Kiliati, ka ʻoku tau nofo noa pe, mo taʻetoʻoa mai ia mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia?”
4 Tsono iye anafunsa Yehosafati kuti, “Kodi udzapita nane ku nkhondo ku Ramoti Giliyadi?” Yehosafati anayankha mfumu ya ku Israeli kuti, “Ine ndili monga inu, anthu anga monga anthu anu, akavalo anga monga akavalo anu.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Sihosafate, “Te ke fie ʻalu mo au ki he tau ki Lemoti-Kiliati?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou hangē ko koe, mo ʻeku kakai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai, mo ʻeku fanga hoosi ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fanga hoosi.”
5 Koma Yehosafati anawuzanso mfumu ya ku Israeli kuti, “Poyamba mupemphe nzeru kwa Yehova.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻOku ou kole, ke ke fakafehuʻi he ʻaho ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”
6 Choncho mfumu ya Israeli inasonkhanitsa pamodzi aneneri okwanira 400, ndipo inawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, kapena ndileke?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Pitani, pakuti Ambuye waupereka mzindawo mʼmanja mwa mfumu.”
Pea naʻe toki tānaki mai fakataha ʻae kau tangata kikite ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau nai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Te u ʻalu atu ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻAlu hake; he koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
7 Koma Yehosafati anafunsa kuti, “Kodi kuno kulibenso mneneri wina wa Yehova kumene ife tingakafunsireko nzeru?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi heni ha palōfita foki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi meiate ia?”
8 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inayankha Yehosafati kuti, “Alipo munthu mmodzi amene ife tingakafunsire kwa Yehova, koma ndimadana naye chifukwa iyeyo samanenera kanthu kalikonse kabwino ka ine, koma zoyipa nthawi zonse. Dzina lake ndi Mikaya mwana wa Imula.” Yehosafati anayankha kuti, “Mfumu musatero.”
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku ai mo e tangata ʻe tokotaha, ko Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila, ʻaia te tau faʻa fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kikite ʻaki ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
9 Choncho mfumu ya Israeli inayitana mmodzi mwa atumiki ake ndipo inati, “Kayitane Mikaya mwana wa Imula msangamsanga.”
Pea naʻe toki ui mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ha matāpule, ʻo ne pehē, “Omi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.”
10 Atavala mikanjo yawo yaufumu, mfumu ya ku Israeli ndi Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anakhala pa mipando yawo yaufumu pabwalo lopondera tirigu pafupi ndi chipata cha Samariya, pamodzi ndi aneneri onse akunenera pamaso pawo.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, taki taha ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea kuo na ʻai hona ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi, ʻi he potu ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe kikite ʻi hona ʻao ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē.
11 Tsono Zedekiya mwana wa Kenaana nʼkuti atapanga nyanga zachitsulo ndipo iye ananenera kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Ndi nyanga izi, inu mudzagunda nazo Aaramu mpaka iwo atawonongeka.’”
Pea naʻe ngaohi maʻana ʻe Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko eni ia te ke tekeʻi ʻaki ʻae kakai Silia, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha kinautolu.’”
12 Aneneri ena onse ananenera zomwezonso. Iwo anati, “Kathireni nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi ndipo mukapambana, pakuti Yehova adzawupereka mzindawo mʼdzanja la mfumu.”
Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻae kikite ʻae kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo [nau ]pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea[mou ]monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
13 Wamthenga amene anapita kukayitana Mikaya anamuwuza kuti, “Taonani, aneneri onse monga munthu mmodzi akunenera za kupambana kwa mfumu. Mawu anunso akhale ogwirizana ndi mawu awo, ndipo mukayankhule zabwino.”
Pea naʻe lea kia Mikaia ʻe he talafekau naʻe ʻalu ke ui kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai mai, ʻOku ngutu taha pe ʻae kau kikite ʻi he lea ʻaki ʻae lelei ki he tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ou kole ke ke tuku hoʻo lea ke tatau mo e lea ʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke lea ʻaki ʻae lelei.”
14 Koma Mikaya anati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, ine ndikawawuza zokhazo zimene Yehova akandiwuze.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea ko ia ʻoku folofolaʻaki kiate au ʻe Sihova, ko ia pe te u leaʻaki.
15 Atafika, Ahabu anamufunsa kuti, “Mikaya, kodi tipite kukathira nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, kapena tileke?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Pitani ndipo mukapambana, pakuti Yehova adzawupereka mzindawo mʼdzanja la mfumu.”
Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he tuʻi. Pea naʻe pehē kiate ia ʻe he tuʻi, “ʻE Mikaia, te ma ʻalu hake ke tauʻi ʻa Lemoti-Kiliati, pe ʻikai?” Pea naʻa ne tali ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu, pea mo monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
16 Ahabu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ndikulumbiritse kangati kuti undiwuze zoona zokhazokha mʼdzina la Yehova?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE tuʻo fiha ʻa ʻeku takitalaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakahā mai ha meʻa ka ko ia pe ʻoku moʻoni ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
17 Pamenepo Mikaya anayankha kuti, “Ndinaona Aisraeli onse atamwazikana pa mapiri ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa, ndipo Yehova anati, ‘Anthu awa alibe mbuye wawo. Aliyense apite kwawo mwamtendere.’”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki he fakamovetevete ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he ngaahi funga moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻeiki kiate kinautolu ni: tuku ke nau taki taha ʻalu ʻae tangata ki hono fale ʻi he melino.
18 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inati kwa Yehosafati, “Kodi ine sindinakuwuzeni kuti ameneyu samanenera kanthu kalikonse kabwino ka ine, koma zoyipa zokhazokha?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te ne kikite ʻaki ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi?”
19 Mikaya anapitiriza kuyankhula nati, “Tsono imvani mawu a Yehova: Ine ndinaona Yehova atakhala pa mpando wake waufumu, gulu lonse la kumwamba litayima ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi ku dzanja lake lamanzere.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko ia foki, fanongo koe ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: naʻaku mamata ki he ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki hono ʻafioʻanga, pea mo e tutuʻu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono nima toʻohema ʻae ngaahi tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoe langi.
20 Ndipo Yehova anati, ‘Kodi ndani amene akamukope Ahabu kuti akathire nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, nʼkukafera komweko?’” “Wina anapereka maganizo ena ndipo winanso maganizo ena.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai te ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne ʻalu hake mo hinga ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati?’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻae lea ʻae tokotaha, kae pehē ʻe he tokotaha kehe.
21 Potsirizira, mzimu wina unabwera ndi kuyima pamaso pa Yehova ndipo unati, ‘Ine ndidzamukopa.’”
Pea naʻe hū mai ha laumālie, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia ʻeau.’
22 Yehova anafunsa kuti, “Ukamukopa bwanji?” Mzimuwo unati, “Ndidzapita ndi kukakhala mzimu wabodza pakamwa pa aneneri ake onse.” Yehova anati, “‘Iwe udzamukopadi. Pita kachite zomwezo.’
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, ‘ʻO fēfeeʻi?’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea te u hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau kikite kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻa ne pehē, ‘Te ke fakalotoʻi ia, pea te ke lavaʻi foki: ʻalu atu, mo ke fai pehē.’”
23 “Ndipo tsopano taonani, Yehova wayika mzimu wabodza mʼkamwa mwa aneneri anu onsewa. Yehova waneneratu kuti mukaona mavuto.”
Pea ko ia foki, “Vakai, kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loi ki he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata kikite na ʻoʻou, pea kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
24 Pamenepo Zedekiya mwana wa Kenaana anapita pafupi namenya Mikaya patsaya. Iye anafunsa Mikaya kuti, “Kodi mzimu wa Yehova unadzera njira iti pamene umatuluka mwa ine kuti uziyankhula ndi iwe?”
Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ke ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi hono kouʻahe, mo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he hala fē ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
25 Mikaya anayankha kuti, “Udzaona pa tsiku limene uzikalowa mʼchipinda chamʼkati kuti ukabisale.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke toki mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia te ke hū atu ai ki he ngaahi loki ke fakafufū koe.”
26 Pamenepo mfumu ya ku Israeli inalamula kuti, “Mugwireni Mikaya ndipo mubwerere naye kwa Amoni mkulu wa mzinda, ndi kwa Yowasi mwana wa mfumu
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi;
27 ndipo mukanene kuti, ‘Chimene mfumu ikunena ndi ichi; Muyikeni mʼndende munthu uyu ndipo musamupatse chakudya china koma buledi ndi madzi pangʼono mpaka nditabwerera mwamtendere.’”
Pea fakahā ange, ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻAi ʻae siana ni ki he fale pōpula, pea fafangaʻaki ia ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi mo e vai ʻoe fakamamahi ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku [toe ]haʻu ʻi he melino.”
28 Mikaya ananena kuti, “Ngati mudzabwerera mwamtendere, Yehova sanayankhule kudzera mwa ine.” Ndipo iye anapitiriza kunena kuti, “Gwiritsitsani mawu angawa, anthu inu nonse!”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke toe foki mai ʻi he melino, tā kuo ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fanongo kotoa pē, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai.”
29 Choncho mfumu ya ku Israeli ndi Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anapita ku Ramoti Giliyadi.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki Lemoti-Kiliati.
30 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inawuza Yehosafati kuti, “Ine ndidzalowa mu nkhondoyi modzibisa, koma inu muvale zovala zanu zaufumu.” Choncho mfumu ya ku Israeli inadzibisa ndi kupita ku nkhondo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, Te u fakapulipuli au, ʻi heʻeku hū atu ki he tau; ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻaho ngaahi kofu fakatuʻi. Pea naʻe fakapulipuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ka ʻalu atu ki he tau.
31 Tsono mfumu ya ku Aramu nʼkuti italamulira anthu ake 32 olamulira magaleta kuti, “Musamenyane ndi wina aliyense, wamngʼono kapena wamkulu, koma mfumu ya ku Israeli.”
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻe toko tolungofulu ma ua naʻe pule ki heʻene ngaahi saliote ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa mo tau mo ia ʻoku siʻi pe ko ia ʻoku lahi, ka ko e tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.
32 Olamulira magaleta ataona Yehosafati, ankaganiza kuti, “Ndithu iyi ndiye mfumu ya ku Israeli.” Choncho anabwerera kukamenyana naye, koma Yehosafati atafuwula,
Pea ʻi he mamata ē ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, ko eni moʻoni ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻa nau foki atu ke tau mo ia: pea naʻe kalanga atu ʻa Sihosafate.
33 olamulira akavalo anaona kuti sanali mfumu ya ku Israeli ndipo analeka kumuthamangitsa.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi saliote naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki atu mei heʻenau tuli kiate ia.
34 Koma munthu wina anaponya muvi wake mwachiponyeponye ndi kulasa mfumu ya ku Israeli polumikizira malaya ake odzitetezera. Mfumu inawuza woyendetsa galeta lake kuti, “Tembenuka ndipo undichotse pa nkhondo pano pakuti ndalasidwa.”
Pea naʻe teke noa pe ʻe ha tangata ʻae kaufana, pea naʻe fanaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa hokoʻanga ʻo ʻene mahafutau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki he tangata naʻe fakahinoʻi ʻa ʻene saliote, “Fakatafoki atu ho nima,” pea ke ʻave au mei he tau: he kuo u lavea.
35 Nkhondo inakula kwambiri tsiku limenelo, ndipo mfumu inakhala tsonga mʼgaleta lake moyangʼanana ndi Aaramu. Magazi ake ankayenderera pansi kuchokera mʼgaleta, ndipo pa nthawi ya madzulo inamwalira.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea naʻe poupou hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono saliote ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻi he efiafi: pea naʻe tafe ʻae toto mei he matalavea ki he loto saliote.
36 Pamene dzuwa linkalowa, kunamveka mfuwu wa nkhondo kuti, “Munthu aliyense apite ku mzinda wa kwawo, aliyense apite ku dziko la kwawo!”
Pea feʻunga mo e tō hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fanongonongo ki he kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kolo, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
37 Ndipo mfumu ija inafa, nabwera nayo ku Samariya, ndipo anayika mʼmanda kumeneko.
Naʻe pehē ʻae pekia ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Samēlia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae putu ʻoe tuʻi ʻi Samēlia.
38 Anatsuka galeta lija pa dziwe la ku Samariya (pamene ankasamba akazi achiwerewere) ndipo agalu ananyambita magazi a mfumuyo, monga momwe Yehova ananenera.
Pea naʻe fufulu ʻae saliote ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he vaikeli ʻo Samēlia; pea naʻe ʻemo hake ʻe he fanga kulī ʻa hono toto pea naʻa nau fufulu ʻa ʻene mahafutau ʻo fakatatau mo e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki.
39 Tsono ntchito zina za Ahabu, kuphatikiza zonse anazichita, nyumba yaufumu imene anamanga yokutidwa ndi minyanga ya njovu, mizinda yotetezedwa, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?
Pea ko eni, ko e toenga ngāue ʻa ʻEhapi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo e fale lei naʻa ne ngaohi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻa ne langa, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?
40 Ahabu anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Ahaziya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
Ko ia, naʻe mohe ʻa ʻEhapi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasia.
41 Yehosafati, mwana wa Asa anakhala mfumu ya ku Yuda chaka chachinayi cha Ahabu mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Pea naʻe kamata pule ʻa Sihosafate ko e foha ʻo ʻAsa ki Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
42 Yehosafati anali wa zaka 35 pamene analowa ufumu, ndipo analamulira ku Yerusalemu zaka 25. Amayi ake anali Azuba mwana wa Silihi.
Naʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻae taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ʻi heʻene kamata pule; pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma nima. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻAsupa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sili.
43 Pa zinthu zonse, Yehosafati anayenda mʼnjira za Asa abambo ake ndipo sanachite zotsutsana ndi machitidwe a abambo ake. Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova. Komabe, malo azipembedzo sanawawononge, ndipo anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
Pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa; naʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki mei ai, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga; naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
44 Yehosafati anakhala mwamtendere ndi mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Pea naʻe alea ʻa Sihosafate mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke na melino pe.
45 Ntchito zake zina za Yehosafati, zinthu zimene anachita ndi zamphamvu zimene anaonetsa, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Yuda?
Pea ko eni, ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihosafate, mo e mālohi naʻe hā ʻiate ia, mo ʻene faʻa tau, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
46 Iye anachotsa mʼdzikomo amuna onse ochita zachiwerewere mwa chipembedzo amene anatsalira pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Asa, abambo ake.
Pea ko e toenga kakai angafakasotoma ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAsa, naʻa ne ʻave mei he fonua.
47 Nthawi imeneyo kunalibe mfumu ku Edomu, amene ankalamulira anali munthu woyikidwa ndi mfumu ya ku Yuda.
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi: ka naʻe pule ha tokotaha maʻae tuʻi.
48 Yehosafati anapanga sitima zapamadzi zopita ku Ofiri kukatenga golide, koma sitimazo sizinayende chifukwa zinawonongeka ku Ezioni Geberi.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihosafate ʻae ngaahi vaka mei Tasisi ke folau ki Ofeli ke ʻomi koula; ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae folau; he naʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi Esioni-Kepa.
49 Nthawi imeneyo Ahaziya mwana wa Ahabu anawuza Yehosafati kuti, “Anthu anga ayende pa madzi pamodzi ndi anthu anu,” koma Yehosafati anakana.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi kia Sihosafate, Tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he folau. Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sihosafate.
50 Ndipo Yehosafati anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Yoramu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he [potu ]ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
51 Ahaziya mwana wa Ahabu anakhala mfumu ya ku Israeli ku Samariya mʼchaka cha 17 cha Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda, ndipo analamulira Israeli zaka ziwiri.
Naʻe kamata pule ʻa ʻAhasia ko e foha ʻo ʻEhapi ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻi hono hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi ʻIsileli.
52 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, chifukwa anayenda mʼnjira za abambo ndi amayi ake komanso mʼnjira za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa Israeli.
Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo ʻene tamai mo e hala ʻo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻi he hala ʻo Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli:
53 Potumikira ndi kupembedza Baala, iye anakwiyitsa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, monga momwe anachitira abambo ake.
He naʻa ne tauhi kia Peali, mo ne lotu kiate ia, mo ne fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.
