2 Mafumu 15

1 Mʼchaka cha 27 cha Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli, Azariya mwana wa Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.

In the twenty-seventh year of the rule of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah.

2 Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 16 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 52. Amayi ake anali Yekoliya wa ku Yerusalemu.

He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Iyeyo anachita zabwino pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Amaziya abambo ake.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.

4 Komabe malo opembedzerako mafano sanawachotse ndipo anthu anapitirizabe kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.

But he did not take away the high places, and the people still went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.

5 Ndipo Yehova analanga mfumu ndi nthenda ya khate mpaka tsiku limene inamwalira. Tsono mfumuyo inkakhala mʼnyumba yakeyake yapadera. Mwana wake Yotamu ndiye amene ankayangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu ndiponso ndiye amene ankalamulira anthu mʼdzikomo.

And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.

6 Ntchito zina za Azariya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done, not turning away from the sin which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do.

10 Salumu mwana wa Yabesi anachitira chiwembu Zekariya. Anamukantha anthu akuona, namupha, ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

12 Awa ndiwo mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kwa Yehu kuti, “Ana ako adzalamulira Israeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.”

This was what the Lord had said to Jehu, Your sons to the fourth generation will be kings of Israel. And so it came about.

In his day, Pul, the king of Assyria, came up against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that he might let him keep the kingdom.

And Menahem got the money from Israel, from all the men of wealth, fifty silver shekels from every man, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria went back without stopping in the land.
