2 Mafumu 14
1 Mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Yehowasi mwana wa Yowahazi mfumu ya Israeli, Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
2 Iye anali ndi zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 29. Amayi ake anali Yehoyadini wa ku Yerusalemu.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, koma osafanana ndi zomwe anachita Davide kholo lake. Iye anatsatira zochita zonse za Yowasi abambo ake.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Komabe sanachotse malo opembedzerapo mafano. Anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
5 Atakhazikika mu ufumu wake, Amaziya anapha atumiki ake amene anapha abambo ake, mfumu ija.
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
6 Komatu iye sanaphe ana a anthu amene anapha abambo ake potsatira zomwe zinalembedwa mʼbuku la Malamulo a Mose. Mʼmenemo Yehova analamula kuti, “Makolo asaphedwe chifukwa cha ana awo, ndipo ana asaphedwe chifukwa cha makolo awo, koma aliyense ayenera kufa chifukwa cha zolakwa zake.”
but he did not put to death the sons of the murderers, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the sons, nor the sons be put to death for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
7 Iye ndiye amene anapha Aedomu 10,000 mʼchigwa cha Mchere nalanda mzinda wa Sela pa nkhondo ndipo anawutcha Yokiteeli, dzina lake ndi lomwelo mpaka lero lino.
He killed ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, to this day.
8 Tsono Amaziya anatuma amithenga kwa Yehowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi, mwana wa Yehu mfumu ya Israeli ndi kumuopseza kuti, “Bwera tidzaonane maso ndi maso.”
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look each other in the face.
9 Koma Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anabweza mawu kwa Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda kuti, “Mtengo wa minga wa ku Lebanoni unatumiza uthenga kwa mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni. ‘Patse mwana wako wamkazi kuti ndimukwatire.’ Kenaka chirombo cha ku Lebanoni chinabwera ndi kupondaponda mtengo wa mingawo.
And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled the thistle.
10 Inde iwe wagonjetsa Edomu ndipo tsopano wayamba kudzikuza. Dzitamandire chifukwa cha kupambana kwako, koma khala kwanu konko! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuyamba dala mavuto amene adzakuwononga pamodzi ndi Yuda?”
Thou have indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up. Glory by it, and abide at home, for why should thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou should fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
11 Koma Amaziya sanamvere zimenezi. Choncho Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anakamuthira nkhondo. Yehowasi ndi Amaziya anakumana maso ndi maso ku Beti-Semesi mʼdziko la Yuda.
But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up. And he and Amaziah king of Judah looked each other in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Israeli anagonjetsa Yuda ndipo munthu aliyense anathawira kwawo.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
13 Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anagwira Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, mwana wa Yowasi, mwana wa Ahaziya ku Beti-Semesi. Ndipo anapita ku Yerusalemu nakagwetsa khoma la Yerusalemu kuyambira ku Chipata cha Efereimu mpaka ku Chipata Chapangodya, gawo lotalika mamita 180.
And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14 Iye anatenga golide ndi siliva yense pamodzi ndi ziwiya zonse zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi zimene zinali mosungira chuma cha nyumba ya mfumu. Iye anagwiranso anthu nabwerera ku Samariya.
And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Ntchito zina za Yehowasi ndi zonse zimene anachita, kuwonjezera za nkhondo yake ndi Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Yehowasi anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Samariya pamodzi ndi mafumu a Israeli. Ndipo mwana wake Yeroboamu analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
17 Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anakhala zaka khumi ndi zisanu atamwalira Yehowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi mfumu ya Israeli.
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18 Ntchito zina za Amaziya, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 Anthu anapangana zomuchita chiwembu mu Yerusalemu ndipo Amaziya anathawira ku Lakisi, koma anatumiza anthu ku Lakisiko nakamuphera komweko.
And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. But they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there.
20 Anabwera naye ku pa kavalo ku Yerusalemu ndi kumuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide.
And they brought him upon horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
21 Ndipo anthu onse a ku Yuda anatenga Azariya, amene anali ndi zaka 16 namulonga ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake Amaziya.
And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 Azariya anamanga mzinda wa Elati ndi kuwubwezeretsa ku Yuda, Amaziya atamwalira.
He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
23 Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chisanu cha Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda, Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli analowa ufumu ku Samariya ndipo analamulira za 41.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.
24 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo sanasiye machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Iye ndi amene anabwezeretsanso malire a Israeli kuyambira ku Lebo Hamati mpaka ku Nyanja ya Araba, molingana ndi zimene ananena Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Yona mwana wa Amitai, mneneri wochokera ku Gati-Heferi.
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
26 Pakuti Yehova anaona masautso a Israeli amene anali owawa kwambiri, panalibe kapolo kapena mfulu ngakhale wina aliyense amene akanathandiza Israeli.
For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter, for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
27 Pakuti Yehova anali asananene zofafaniza ufumu wa Israeli pa dziko lapansi, Iye anawapulumutsa kudzera mʼdzanja la Yeroboamu mwana wa Yowasi.
And Jehovah did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Ntchito zina za Yeroboamu ndi zonse zimene anachita, za kupambana kwake pa nkhondo, za mmene anagonjetsera Damasiko ndi Hamati, imene inali mizinda ya Yuda, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Yeroboamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi mafumu a Israeli. Ndipo Zekariya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
