2 Mafumu 15

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

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

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

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

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

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

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

Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on 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 smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son [was] over the 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?

And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

7 Azariya anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Yotamu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

8 Mʼchaka cha 38 cha Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Zekariya mwana wa Yeroboamu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli ku Samariya ndipo analamulira miyezi isanu ndi umodzi.

In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 Ndipo iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira makolo ake. Iye sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

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

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

11 Ntchito zina za Zekariya, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.

And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

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

This [was] the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass.

13 Salumu mwana wa Yabesi anakhala mfumu mʼchaka cha 39 cha ulamuliro wa Uziya mfumu ya Yuda ndipo analamulira mu Samariya mwezi umodzi.

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.

14 Ndipo Menahemu mwana wa Gadi anachoka ku Tiriza napita ku Samariya nakantha Salumu mwana wa Yabesi ku Samariya, namupha ndipo iye analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

15 Ntchito zina za Salumu ndiponso za chiwembu chimene anachita, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.

And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

16 Nthawi imeneyo Menahemu, kuchokera ku Tiriza, anakathira nkhondo mzinda wa Tipisa ndi anthu onse amene anali mʼmenemo ndi dera lonse lozungulira chifukwa iwo anakana kutsekula zipata zawo. Iye anatenga katundu yense mu mzinda wa Tipisa ndi kutumbula akazi onse oyembekezera.

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that [were] therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not [to him], therefore he smote [it; and] all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

17 Mʼchaka cha 39 cha Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi anakhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo analamulira mu Samariya zaka khumi.

In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years in Samaria.

18 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wake sanasiye machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

19 Tsono Puli mfumu ya ku Asiriya inadzathira nkhondo dzikolo ndipo Menahemu anapatsa Puliyo makilogalamu 34,000 a siliva kuti amuthandize ndi kulimbikitsa ufumu wake.

[And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20 Menahemu anapeza ndalamazo kudzera mu msonkho umene ankakhometsa Aisraeli. Munthu aliyense wachuma ankapereka masekeli a siliva makumi asanu kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Choncho mfumu ya ku Asiriya inabwerera ndipo sinakhalenso mʼdzikomo.

And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, [even] of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

21 Ntchito zina za Menahemu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

22 Menahemu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Pekahiya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] two years.

24 Pekahiya anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Iye sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, omwe anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

25 Ndipo Peka mwana wa Remaliya, mtsogoleri wake wa ankhondo, anamuchita chiwembu. Iye pamodzi ndi anthu makumi asanu a ku Giliyadi anapha Pekahiya pamodzi ndi Arigobu ndi Ariyeli mʼchipinda choteteza nyumba ya mfumu mu Samariya. Kotero Peka anapha Pekahiya ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.

26 Ntchito zina za Pekahiya ndi zonse zimene anachita zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.

And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

29 Nthawi ya Peka mfumu ya Israeli, Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya ku Asiriya anabwera ndi kudzalanda Iyoni, Abeli-Beti-Maaka, Yanowa, Kedesi ndi Hazori. Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inatenga Giliyadi ndi Galileya, kuphatikizanso madera onse a Nafutali ndipo anatumiza Aisraeli ku Asiriya.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Komabe malo opembedzera mafano sanawachotse ndipo anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.

Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.
