2 Mafumu 23
1 Pamenepo mfumu inayitanitsa akuluakulu onse a ku Yuda ndi Yerusalemu.
Then the King sent, and there gathered vnto him all the Elders of Iudah and of Ierusalem.
2 Mfumuyo inapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova pamodzi ndi anthu onse a ku Yuda, ndi onse okhala mu Yerusalemu, ansembe ndi aneneri, ndiponso anthu ena onse kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu. Mfumuyo inawerenga mawu onse a mʼBuku la Chipangano limene linapezeka mʼNyumba ya Yehova, anthu onse akumva.
And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, with all the men of Iudah and all the inhabitants of Ierusalem with him, and the Priests and Prophets, and all the people both small and great: and he reade in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
3 Mfumu inayimirira pambali pa chipilala ndi kuchita pangano pamaso pa Yehova kuti idzatsatira Yehova ndi kusunga malamulo, mawu ndi malangizo ake ndi mtima wonse ndi moyo wonse, kukwaniritsa mawu a mʼpanganoli, olembedwa mʼbukuli. Pamenepo anthu onse anadzipereka kutsatira panganoli.
And the King stood by the pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, that they shoulde walke after the Lord, and keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes with all their heart, and with all their soule, that they might accomplish the wordes of this couenant written in this booke. And all the people stood to the couenant.
4 Mfumu inalamula wansembe wamkulu Hilikiya, ansembe othandizana naye ndi alonda a pa khomo kuti achotse mʼNyumba ya Yehova ziwiya zonse zopembedzera Baala ndi Asera ndiponso mafano a zinthu zamlengalenga. Yosiya anazitentha kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku minda ya ku Chigwa cha Kidroni ndipo phulusa lake anapita nalo ku Beteli.
Then the King commanded Hilkiah the hie Priest and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the doore, to bring out of ye Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the groue, and for all the hoste of heauen, and he burnt them without Ierusalem in the fieldes of Kedron, and caryed the pouder of them into Beth-el.
5 Iye anachotsa ansembe a mafano amene anayikidwa ndi mafumu a Yuda kuti azifukiza lubani ku malo opembedzera mafano a ku mizinda ya ku Yuda ndi kumalo ozungulira Yerusalemu, amene ankafukiza lubani kwa Baala, dzuwa, mwezi, nyenyezi ndi zinthu zonse zamlengalenga.
And he put downe the Chemarims, whom the Kings of Iudah had founded to burne incense in the hie places, and in the cities of Iudah, and about Ierusalem, and also them that burnt incense vnto Baal, to the sunne and to the moone, and to the planets, and to all the hoste of heauen.
6 Anachotsa fano la Asera mʼNyumba ya Yehova napita nalo kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku Chigwa cha Kidroni, nalitentha kumeneko. Anapera fanolo ndi kukataya phulusa lake pa manda a anthu wamba.
And he brought out the groue from the Temple of the Lord without Ierusalem vnto the valley of Kedron, and burnt it in the valley Kedron, and stampt it to pouder, and cast the dust thereof vpon the graues of the children of the people.
7 Iye anagwetsanso tinyumba ta ochita zachiwerewere, timene tinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova, kumene akazi ankalukirako mikanjo yovala popembedza Asera.
And hee brake downe the houses of the Sodomites, that were in the house of the Lord, where the women woue hangings for the groue.
8 Yosiya anabweretsanso ansembe onse kuchokera mʼmizinda ya Yuda, nawononga malo opembedzera mafano, kuyambira ku Geba mpaka ku Beeriseba, kumene ansembe ankafukizako lubani. Anagwetsa nyumba za milungu zimene zinali pa chipata cha Yoswa, bwanamkubwa wa mzindawo, kumanzere kwa chipata cha mzinda.
Also he brought all the priests out of the cities of Iudah, and defiled the hie places where the Priests had burnt incense, euen from Geba to Beer-sheba, and destroyed the hie places of the gates, that were in the entring in of the gate of Ioshua the gouernour of the citie, which was at the left hand of the gate of the citie.
9 Ngakhale kuti ansembe a ku malo opembedzera mafanowo sanawalole kuti atumikire pa guwa lansembe la Yehova mu Yerusalemu, koma ankadya buledi wopanda yisiti pamodzi ndi ansembe anzawo.
Neuerthelesse the Priests of the hie places came not vp to the altar of the Lord in Ierusalem, saue onely they did eate of the vnleauened bread among their brethren.
10 Mfumu Yosiya anawononganso Tofeti, amene anali ku Chigwa cha Hinomu, kuti wina aliyense asagwiritse ntchito malowo popereka mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi pa moto kwa Moleki.
He defiled also Topheth, which was in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man shoulde make his sonne or his daughter passe through the fire to Molech.
11 Anachotsa pa chipata cholowera ku Nyumba ya Yehova akavalo amene mafumu a Yuda anawapereka ngati nsembe kwa dzuwa. Akavalo anali pafupi ndi bwalo la chipinda cha mkulu wina wotchedwa Natani-Meleki. Ndipo Yosiya anatentha magaleta opembedzera dzuwa.
He put downe also the horses that the Kings of Iudah had giuen to the sunne at the entring in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the eunuche, which was ruler of the suburbes, and burnt the charets of the sunne with fire.
12 Anagwetsa maguwa amene mafumu a Yuda anawamanga pa denga pafupi ndi chipinda chapamwamba cha Ahazi, ndiponso maguwa amene Manase anamanga mʼmabwalo awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova. Yosiya anawachotsa kumeneko nawaphwanya ndi kutaya zidutswa zake mʼChigwa cha Kidroni.
And the altars that were on the top of the chamber of Ahaz, which the Kings of Iudah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord did the King breake downe, and hasted thence, and cast the dust of them in the brooke Kedron.
13 Mfumuyo inawononga malo opembedzera mafano amene ali kummawa kwa Yerusalemu cha kumpoto kwa Phiri la Chiwonongeko. Maguwawa Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli inamangira Asitoreti, fano lalikazi lonyansa la Asidoni, Kemosi, fano lonyansa la Amowabu, ndi Moleki, fano lonyansa la anthu a ku Amoni.
Moreouer the King defiled the hie places that were before Ierusalem and on the right hand of the mount of corruption (which Salomon the King of Israel had buylt for Ashtoreth the idole of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the idole of the Moabites, and for Milchom the abomination of the children of Ammon)
14 Yosiya anaphwanya miyala ya chipembedzo ndiponso anadula mitengo ya fano la Asera ndipo anakwirira malowo ndi mafupa a anthu.
And he brake the images in pieces, and cut downe the groues and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Ngakhalenso guwa lansembe la ku Beteli, malo opembedzera mafano amene anapanga Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa Israeli, Yosiya anawononga guwalo ndi malo opembedzera mafanowo. Iye anatentha malo opembedzera mafanowo ndi kuwapera ndipo anatenthanso fano la Asera.
Furthermore the altar that was at Beth-el, and the hie place made by Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, both this altar and also the hie place, brake he downe, and burnt the hie place, and stampt it to powder and burnt the groue.
16 Kenaka Yosiya anayangʼanayangʼana ndipo ataona manda amene anali pomwepo, mʼmbali mwa phiri, analamula kuti afukule mandawo ndi kutulutsa mafupa kuti awatenthe paguwapo kuti alidetse, potsatira mawu a Yehova amene munthu wa Mulungu analoseratu za zimenezi.
And as Iosiah turned himselfe, he spied the graues, that were in the mount, and sent and tooke the bones out of the graues, and burnt them vpon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord, that the man of God proclaimed, which cryed the same wordes.
17 Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro cha manda chimene ndikuwaonawo ndi chayani?” Anthu a mu mzindamo anayankha kuti, “Ndi chizindikiro cha manda a munthu wa Mulungu wochokera ku Yuda amene ananeneratu zimene inu mwalichita guwa lansembe la Beteli.”
Then he sayde, What title is that which I see? And the men of the citie sayd vnto him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Iudah, and tolde these things that thou hast done to the altar of Beth-el.
18 Mfumuyo inati, “Alekeni manda amenewo, munthu asachotse mafupa ake.” Choncho anawasiya mafupa akewo pamodzi ndi mafupa a mneneri wa ku Samariya uja.
Then sayde he, Let him alone: let none remooue his bones. So his bones were saued with the bones of the Prophet that came from Samaria.
19 Monga momwe Yosiya anachitira ku Beteli, anachotsa ndi kuwononga nyumba za milungu zonse ndi malo opembedzera mafano amene mafumu anamanga mʼmizinda ya ku Samariya omwe anakwiyitsa Yehova.
Iosiah also tooke away all the houses of the hie places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the Kings of Israel had made to anger the Lord, and did to them according to all the factes that he had done in Beth-el.
20 Yosiya anapha ansembe onse amene ankatumikira ku malo opembedzera mafano, anawaphera pa maguwa awo ndi kutentha mafupa awo. Kenaka iye anapita ku Yerusalemu.
And he sacrificed all the Priests of the hie places, that were there vpon the altars, and burnt mens bones vpon them, and returned to Ierusalem.
21 Mfumu inalamula anthu onse kuti, “Chitani Chikondwerero cha Paska kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, motsatira zomwe zalembedwa mʼBuku la Chipangano.”
Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Keepe the passeouer vnto the Lord your God, as it is written in the booke of this couenant.
22 Paska yotere inali isanachitikepo kuyambira nthawi ya oweruza amene anatsogolera Israeli, kapenanso nthawi yonse ya mafumu a Yuda sipanachitikenso Paska ngati imeneyo.
And there was no Passeouer holden like that from the dayes of the Iudges that iudged Israel, nor in all the dayes of the Kinges of Israel, and of the Kings of Iudah.
23 Koma mʼchaka cha 18 cha Mfumu Yosiya, Paska imeneyi anachitira Yehova mu Yerusalemu.
And in the eightenth yere of King Iosiah was this Passeouer celebrated to the Lord in Ierusalem.
24 Kuwonjezera apa, Yosiya anachotsa anthu a mawula, woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, milungu ya mʼnyumba, mafano ndiponso zinthu zonse zonyansa zopezeka mu Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anachita izi pokwaniritsa lamulo lolembedwa mʼbuku limene Hilikiya analipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
Iosiah also tooke away them that had familiar spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images, and the idoles, and al the abominations that were espied in the lande of Iudah and in Ierusalem, to performe the wordes of the Lawe, which were written in the booke that Hilkiah the Priest found in the house of the Lord.
25 Yosiyayo asanalowe ufumu, ngakhale atamwalira, panalibenso mfumu ina yofanana naye imene inatembenukira kwa Yehova monga anachitira, ndi mtima wake wonse, ndi moyo wake wonse, ndi mphamvu zake zonse, motsatira Malamulo onse a Mose.
Like vnto him was there no King before him, that turned to the Lord with al his heart, and with all his soule, and with all his might according to all the Lawe of Moses, neither after him arose there anie like him.
26 Komabe Yehova sanachotse mkwiyo wake woopsa, umene anali nawo pa Yuda chifukwa cha zonse zimene anachita Manase poputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu.
Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fiercenesse of his great wrath wherewith he was angrie against Iudah, because of all the prouocatios wherwith Manasseh had prouoked him.
27 Choncho Yehova anati, “Ndidzawachotsanso anthu a ku Yuda pamaso panga monga ndinachotsera anthu a ku Israeli ndipo ndidzawukana mzinda wa Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha, pamodzi ndi Nyumba ino imene ndinati, ‘Dzina langa lidzakhala mʼmenemo.’”
Therefore the Lord saide, I will put Iudah also out of my sight, as I haue put away Israel, and will cast off this citie Ierusalem, which I haue chosen, and the house whereof I said, My name shalbe there.
28 Ntchito zina za Yosiya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
29 Yosiya akanali mfumu, Farao wotchedwa Neko, mfumu ya Igupto, anapita ku Mtsinje wa Yufurate kukathandiza mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Mfumu Yosiya anapita kukachita naye nkhondo, koma Neko anakumana naye ndi kumupha ku Megido.
In his dayes Pharaoh Nechoh King of Egypt went vp against the King of Asshur to the riuer Perath. And King Iosiah went against him, whome when Pharaoh sawe, he slewe him at Megiddo.
30 Atumiki a Yosiyayo ananyamula mtembo wake mu galeta kuchokera ku Megido mpaka ku Yerusalemu ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda akeake. Ndipo anthu a mʼdzikomo anatenga Yehowahazi mwana wa Yosiya namudzoza, ndipo iye analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake.
Then his seruants caryed him dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Ierusalem, and buried him in his owne sepulchre. And the people of the lande tooke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosiah, and anointed him, and made him King in his fathers steade.
31 Yehowahazi anakhala mfumu ali ndi 23 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu miyezi itatu. Amayi ake anali Hamutali, mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
Iehoahaz was three and twentie yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and reigned three moneths in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
32 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anachitira makolo ake.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Farao Neko anamuyika mʼndende ku Ribula mʼdziko la Hamati kuti asalamulirenso mu Yerusalemu. Farao analamula Yuda kuti azikhoma msonkho wa siliva wolemera makilogalamu 3,400, ndiponso golide wolemera makilogalamu 34.
And Pharaoh Nechoh put him in bondes at Riblah in the lande of Hamath, while he reigned in Ierusalem, and put the lande to a tribute of an hundreth talents of siluer, and a talent of golde.
34 Farao Neko anayika Eliyakimu mwana wa Yosiya kuti akhale mfumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake Yosiya, ndipo anasintha dzina lake kukhala Yehoyakimu. Koma iye anatenga Yehowahazi kupita naye ku Igupto ndipo anakafera kumeneko.
And Pharaoh Nechoh made Eliakim the sonne of Iosiah King in steade of Iosiah his father, and turned his name to Iehoiakim, and tooke Iehoahaz away, which when he came to Egypt, dyed there.
35 Yehoyakimu anapereka kwa Farao Neko siliva ndi golide amene anamufuna uja. Koma kuti iye apereke zimenezi, amankhometsa msonkho mʼdziko mwakemo ndipo amalandira siliva ndi golide kuchokera kwa anthu a mʼdzikomo molingana ndi chuma cha munthu aliyense.
And Iehoiakim gaue the siluer and the golde to Pharaoh, and taxed the land to giue the money, according to the commadement of Pharaoh: he leuyed of euery man of the people of the lande, according to his value, siluer and golde to giue vnto Pharaoh Nechoh.
36 Yehoyakimu anali wa zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 11. Amayi ake anali Zebuda, mwana wa Pedaya wa ku Ruma.
Iehoiakim was fiue and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anachitira makolo ake.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
