Hagi ana maka Judama me'nea ranra kumapintira, pristi vahera Josai'a kehige'za Jerusalemi azageno, ana kumapima havi anumzante'ma kresramnama nevaza kumatmina eri haviza nehuno, noti kaziga Geba ran kumateti agafa huteno vuno Sauti kaziga Beseba ran kumate uramigeno, ana kumatmimpima havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama nevaza kumatmina vahe zamavufi eri pagehena hu'ne. Ana nehuno Jerusalemi rankumamofo gavana ne' Josua kafa tva'onte'ma hoga kaziga me'nege'za havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama nevaza itaraminena eri haviza hutre'ne.

Hagi kini ne'mo'ma kehige'zama e'naza pristi vahe'mo'za zo'ore bretima mago'a pristi vahe'mo'zama nazafintira amne ne'naze. Hianagi zamagra Ra Anumzamofonte Kresramana vunte itama Jerusalema me'nea itarera kresramna ovu'naze.

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.

Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kuma'ma, Hinomu agupo tvaonte Tofetima me'neana, vahe zamavufi Josaia'a eri haviza higeno pehenage hu'ne. Ana higeno mago'mo'e huno ana kumatera Moleki havi anumzantega ne' mofavre'a kresramna vuntegara osu'ne.

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.

Hagi kotama mani'za e'naza Juda kini vahe'mo'za mago'a hosi afu'ma havi anumza zage anumzamofontegama ami'naza hosirami amema'ma, Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafa tvaonte atruma nehaza kumapi ante'nazana Josaia'a eri atre'ne. Ana hosi afutamima ante'nazana, kini nemofo mago eri'za ne' Natanmeleki no tvaonte ante'naze. Hagi ana karisiramima zage anumzamofoma ami'naza karisia Josaia'a erino tevefi hanavazino kre'ne.

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.

Hagi ko'ma maniza e'naza Juda kini vahe'mo'zama, mago kresramna vu itama trohu'za Ahasi nomofo agofetu'ma ante'nazana, Josaia'a eri netreno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima tare kuma'ma me'nege'za atruma nehazafima, Manase'ma kresramna vu itararema tro'ma hunte'neana eritreno ru tamana tamanu huteno, erino Kidroni agupofi ome atre'ne.

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.

Anama huteno'a Jerusalemi kumamofo zage hanati kaziga, Olivi agonamofo sauti kazigama, agoteno havizama hu'nea Saidoni vahe anumza Astoretine, Moapu vahe havi anumza Kemosine, Amoni vahe havi anumzama Molekinte enema kresramna vu itaramima, kini ne' Solomoni'ma tro'ma hunte'neana Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne.

14 Yosiya anaphwanya miyala ya chipembedzo ndiponso anadula mitengo ya fano la Asera ndipo anakwirira malowo ndi mafupa a anthu.

Hagi have retru re'neza Asera havi anumzante mono'ma hunentaza havea erino rutamna tamanu hunetreno, zafare antre'za Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama trohu'za retruma re'nazana akasinetreno, ana zafama akasima atraza kerifina, Josaia'a vahe zaferinareti antevite'ne.

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.

Hagi ko'ma Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma, Beteli ran kumate'ma havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte kuma'ene Kresramanama vu itama tro'ma hunte'neno, mono'ma hunenteno Israeli vahe zamatufege'za kumi hu'naza kumatmina ana zanke huno, Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne. Ana nehuno havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumate'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zantamina erino tevefi kregeno tetegeno, osa'a erino kane osi osi hu'ne. Ana nehuno Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama antre'zama tro hunte'nazana erino tevefi anazanke huno kre'ne.

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.

Hagi Josaia'a anante oti'neno osi agonamofo asoparega keana, vahe'ma asenezmantaza havega me'negeno negeno, vahe huzmantege'za vu'za vahe zaferinaramina anampinti ome eri'za azageno, Jeroboamu'ma tro'ma hunte'nea itare ana zaferinaramina kreno ana ita, vahe zamavurera eri haviza hu'ne. Hagi e'i anazama Josaia'ma tro'ma hu'nea zamo'a, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma korapa kasnampa ke hunte'nea zamo nena raga'are'ne.

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.”

Hagi anazama Josaia'ma huteno'a mago mati me'negeno negeno amanage hu'ne, Ama matira iza matire? Anagema hige'za Beteli rankumate vahe'mo'za asamiza, Juda kumateti mago kasnampa ne' eno, menima ama itare'ma tro'ma hana zamofonku, kasnampa kema hunte'nea ne'mofo mati me'ne.

18 Mfumuyo inati, “Alekeni manda amenewo, munthu asachotse mafupa ake.” Choncho anawasiya mafupa akewo pamodzi ndi mafupa a mneneri wa ku Samariya uja.

Hagi anante Josaia'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Mago vahe'mo'e huno zaferina'a avako osina atrenkeno meno. Anagema hige'za ana kasnampa ne'mofo zaferinane, mago'a Sameria kumateti kasnampa vahe zaferinanena atrazageno me'ne.

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.

Hagi Israeli kini vahe'mo'zama Sameriama me'nea ranra kumatmimpima, havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentazageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma rimpama ahezamante'nea kumatmina, Beteli rankumate'ma hiaza huno Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne.

20 Yosiya anapha ansembe onse amene ankatumikira ku malo opembedzera mafano, anawaphera pa maguwa awo ndi kutentha mafupa awo. Kenaka iye anapita ku Yerusalemu.

Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumapima eri'zama eneri'za pristi vahera, Josaia'a ana maka zamaheno kresramna vu itazamire nenteno, fri vahe zaferina zamagofetu anteno teve hanavazino kre'ne. Anama huteno'a Josaia'a ete Jerusale kumate vu'ne.

21 Mfumu inalamula anthu onse kuti, “Chitani Chikondwerero cha Paska kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, motsatira zomwe zalembedwa mʼBuku la Chipangano.”

Hagi anante kini ne' Josaia'a amanage huno maka vahera zamasami'ne, Ama hugagerafi huvempage avontafepima hu'nea kante anteta Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmahe zamagtere'nea knagura antahimita ne'zana kreta neneta musena hunteho.

22 Paska yotere inali isanachitikepo kuyambira nthawi ya oweruza amene anatsogolera Israeli, kapenanso nthawi yonse ya mafumu a Yuda sipanachitikenso Paska ngati imeneyo.

Hagi kema refko'ma hu kva vahe'mo'zama kegavama huzmante'nareti'ma eno Jerusalemine, Juda kini vahe'mo'zama kvama huzmante'nare'ma egeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmaheno zamagtere'nea zankura antahimi'za magore hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za musena huonte'naze.

23 Koma mʼchaka cha 18 cha Mfumu Yosiya, Paska imeneyi anachitira Yehova mu Yerusalemu.

Hianagi Josaia'ma 18ni'a kafuma kinima maninege'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumate e'za, Israeli vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma ozamahe zamagtere'nea zankura antahimi'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za, Ra Anumzamofona musena hunte'naze.

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.

Hagi fri vahe hankro'enema keaga nehaza vahe'ene, havi avamu'mofo eri'zama e'neriza vahe'ene, nozamifima havi anumzama tro hunte'neza mono hunentaza zantamine, havi anumzamofo amema'aramine, maka agotega zantamima Jerusalemi kumate'ene Juda kumapinema me'neana, Josaia'a ana zanke huno ana maka eritre vagare'ne. E'inama hu'neana pristi ne' Hilkia'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma keno eri'nea avontafepima me'nea kasege avaririno anara hu'ne.

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.

Hagi Josaia'ma frige'za ko'ma mani'za e'naza kini vahe'ene henkama fore'ma hu'naza kini vahe'mo'za Josaia'ma maka agu'areti'ene, agu'amententi'ene, hankave'areti'enema huno Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegefima me'nea nanekema amage'ma ante fatgoma hu'neazana huno, mago kinimo'a anara osu'naze.

26 Komabe Yehova sanachotse mkwiyo wake woopsa, umene anali nawo pa Yuda chifukwa cha zonse zimene anachita Manase poputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu.

Hianagi ko'ma Manase'ma havi avu'avazama nehuno Ra Anumzamofoma azeri arimpama ahegeno'ma Juda vahe'ma tusi arimpama ahezamante'nea arimpa ahe'zamo'a vaga'ore'ne.

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.’”

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra ko'ma Israeli vahe'ma hu'noaza hu'na, Juda vahera mopa zamifintira zamazeri atresuge'za afete mopare vugahaze. Ana nehu'na Jerusalemi kuma'ma Nagri su'ane hu'nama huhampari'noa kumara namefi hunemi'na, Nagri nagi me'nesigetama monora hunantegahazema hu'noa mono nonena, nagra namefi humigahue.

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

Hagi mago'a zama Josaia'ma kini mani'nea knafima efore'ma hu'nea zantamine, agrama tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agenkea, Juda kini vahe'mokizmi zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

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.

Hagi Josaia'ma kinima mani'nea knafina, Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a sondia vahe zaga'a zamavareno, Yufretisi tintega Asiria kini ne' ome aza hunaku vu'ne. Anama nehigeno'a, kini ne' Josaia'a avatga huno ha' hunteku sondia vahe'a zamavareno nevigeno, Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a Megido kumate eme tutagiha hunteno Josaiana ahe fri'ne.

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.

Ana hutazage'za Josaiana eri'za vahe'amo'za Megidotira avufga'a karisifi erinte'za vu'za Jerusalemi kumapi, agri'a matipi ome asente'naze. Hagi ana kumapi, Josaia nemofo Jehoahasina, avre'za masave frentete'za huhamprintazageno nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.

31 Yehowahazi anakhala mfumu ali ndi 23 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu miyezi itatu. Amayi ake anali Hamutali, mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.

Hagi Jehoahasia 23'a kafu nehuno kini efore huno, Jerusalemi kumatera 3'a ikampi kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Libna ran kumateti, Jeremaia mofakino agi'a Hamutali'e.

32 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anachitira makolo ake.

Hagi agehe'zama hu'nazaza huno Jehoahasi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi avu'avaza hu'ne.

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.

Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a, Jehoahasina azeriteno Hamati mopafina Ribla kumate kina hunte'ne. Ana higeno Jehoahasi'a Jerusalemi kumatera mago'ene kinia omani'ne. Ana higeno Isipi kini ne Fero Niko'a Juda vahekura huno, silvama kna'amo'ma 3,400 kiloma hu'nesiane, golima kna'amo'ma 34 kiloma hu'nesia namigahaze hu'ne.

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.

Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a, Josaiana mago ne' mofavre'a, Eliakimina nefa no erino Juda vahe kinia maninogu azeri o'netino, agi'a Jehoiakimi'e huno ru agi antemi'ne. Hianagi Jehoahasina avreno Isipi mopare umani'negeno anantega fri'ne.

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.

Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'ma huhampari'nea silvane, golinema Jehoiakimi'ma aminakura, vahepinti hige'za mani'naza avamente takisi zagoa eme amitere hazageno, erino Isipi kini netega atregeno vu'ne.

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.

Hagi Jehoakimina kafu'amo'a 25fu nehigeno agafa huno kinia mani'ne. Ana huteno Jerusalemi mani'neno 11ni'a kafufi Juda vahera kegava hu'ne. Nerera'a Ruma ran kumateti, Pedaia mofakino agi'a Sebida'e.

Hagi agehezama hu'nazaza huno Jehoakimi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi avu'avaza hu'ne.
