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

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

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

He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 Komabe malo opembedzerako mafano sanawachotse ndipo anthu anapitirizabe 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 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.

The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, 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 that he did, aren’t they 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.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

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 the LORD’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
