2 Mbiri 22
1 Anthu a mu Yerusalemu anayika Ahaziya mwana wamngʼono kwambiri wa Yehoramu kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake, popeza gulu lankhondo limene linabwera ndi Aarabu ku misasa, linapha ana onse aakulu. Motero Ahaziya mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
Abahlali beJerusalema basebebeka uAhaziya indodana yakhe elicinathunjana waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe; ngoba iviyo elafika lamaArabhiya enkambeni lalibulele bonke abadala. Ngakho uAhaziya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.
2 Ahaziya anali wa zaka 22 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu chaka chimodzi. Dzina la amayi ake linali Ataliya, chidzukulu cha Omuri.
UAhaziya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amane lambili esiba yinkosi, wabusa umnyaka owodwa eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAthaliya indodakazi kaOmri.
3 Nayenso anayenda mʼnjira ya banja la Ahabu, pakuti amayi ake anamulimbikitsa kuchita zolakwika.
Laye wahamba ngezindlela zendlu kaAhabi, ngoba unina wayengumelulekikazi wakhe ukwenza okubi.
4 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe banja la Ahabu linachitira, pakuti atamwalira abambo ake, iwo anakhala alangizi ake, kumene kunali kudziwononga kwake.
Ngakho wenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengendlu kaAhabi, ngoba bona babengabeluleki bakhe emva kokufa kukayise, kwaba yikuchitheka kwakhe.
5 Iyeyo anatsatiranso uphungu wawo pamene anapita ndi Yehoramu, mwana wa Ahabu, mfumu ya Israeli kukachita nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu ku Ramoti Giliyadi. Aaramu anavulaza Yehoramu,
Futhi wahamba ngeseluleko sabo, wahamba loJehoramu indodana kaAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli waya empini emelene loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya eRamothi-Gileyadi. AmaSiriya asemtshaya uJoramu.
6 kotero iye anabwerera ku Yezireeli kuti akachire mabala amene anamuvulaza ku Ramoti pa nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aaramu. Ndipo Ahaziya, mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anapita ku Yezireeli kukaona Yehoramu mwana wa Ahabu chifukwa anavulazidwa.
Wasebuyela ukuyakwelatshwa eJizereyeli ngenxa yamanxeba ayewatshaywe eRama, ekulweni kwakhe loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya. UAzariya indodana kaJehoramu inkosi yakoJuda wehlela ukubona uJehoramu indodana kaAhabi eJizereyeli, ngoba wayegula.
7 Mulungu anakonza kuti Ahaziya akaphedwe pa ulendo wake wokacheza. Ahaziya atafika, iye ndi Yoramu anapita kukakumana ndi Yehu mwana wa Nimisi, amene Yehova anamudzoza kuti akawononge banja la Ahabu.
Lokubhujiswa kukaAhaziya kwakuvele kuNkulunkulu ngokuthi eze kuJoramu. Ngoba ekufikeni kwakhe waphuma loJehoramu esiya kuJehu indodana kaNimshi, iNkosi eyayimgcobele ukuthi aqume indlu kaAhabi.
8 Pamene Yehu ankalanga banja la Ahabu anapeza atsogoleri a ku Yuda ndiponso ana aamuna a abale ake a Ahaziya amene amatumikira Ahaziya, ndipo anawapha.
Kwasekusithi lapho uJehu esenza isahlulelo kundlu kaAhabi, wafica iziphathamandla zakoJuda lamadodana abafowabo bakaAhaziya ababesebenzela uAhaziya, wababulala.
9 Kenaka anapita kukafunafuna Ahaziya, ndipo anthu ake anagwira Ahaziya pamene amabisala mu Samariya. Anabwera naye kwa Yehu ndipo anaphedwa. Iwo anamuyika mʼmanda, pakuti anati, “Iyeyu anali mwana wa Yehosafati amene anafunafuna Yehova ndi mtima wake wonse.” Kotero panalibe wamphamvu mʼbanja la Ahaziya kuti nʼkukhala mfumu.
Wasedinga uAhaziya, basebembamba, ngoba wayecatshile eSamariya, bamletha kuJehu, bambulala, bamngcwaba, ngoba bathi: Uyindodana kaJehoshafathi owadinga iNkosi ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke. Ngakho indlu kaAhaziya yayingelamuntu wokugcina amandla ombuso.
10 Ataliya, amayi ake a Ahaziya, ataona kuti mwana wawo wafa, ananyamuka nakapha onse a banja laufumu la Yuda.
Kwathi uAthaliya unina kaAhaziya ebone ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile, wasukuma wabhubhisa yonke inzalo yobukhosi yendlu yakoJuda.
11 Koma Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa mfumu Yehoramu, anatenga Yowasi mwana wa Ahaziya, momuba ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa ana aamuna a mfumu amene amati aphedwe ndipo anamuyika iye ndi mlezi wake mʼchipinda chogona. Motero Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa mfumu Yehoramu, mkazi wa wansembe Yehoyada, yemwe anali mlongo wake wa Ahaziya anamubisa mwanayo kuti Ataliya asamuphe.
Kodwa uJehoshabeyathi indodakazi yenkosi wathatha uJowashi indodana kaAhaziya, wameba emsusa phakathi kwamadodana enkosi ayebulawa, wambeka lomlizane wakhe endlini yokulala. Ngokunjalo uJehoshabeyathi indodakazi yenkosi uJehoramu, umkaJehoyada umpristi, ngoba yena wayengudadewabo kaAhaziya, wamfihla ebusweni bukaAthaliya ukuze angambulali.
12 Mwanayo anakhala mobisala pamodzi ndi iwo mu Nyumba ya Mulungu kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muulamuliro wa Ataliya.
Wasecatsha labo endlini kaNkulunkulu iminyaka eyisithupha; uAthaliya wabusa-ke phezu kwelizwe.
