Oweruza 2
1 Mngelo wa Yehova anapita ku Bokimu kuchokera ku Giligala ndipo anati kwa Aisraeli, “Ndinakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndikukulowetsani mʼdziko limene ndinalumbira kwa makolo anu. Ndinati ‘Sindidzaswa pangano langa ndi inu,
And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 ndipo inu musadzachite pangano ndi anthu a dziko lino, koma mudzaphwanye maguwa awo ansembe.’ Koma inu simunamvere lamulo langa. Chifukwa chiyani mwachita zimenezi?
And all of you shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; all of you shall throw down their altars: but all of you have not obeyed my voice: why have all of you done this?
3 Ndikukuwuzani tsopano kuti sindithamangitsa nzikazo pamene inu mukufika. Ndidzawasandutsa kukhala adani anu ndipo milungu yawo idzakhala ngati msampha kwa inu.”
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
4 Mngelo wa Mulungu atayankhula izi kwa Aisraeli, onse analira mokweza,
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 ndipo anatcha malowo kuti Bokimu (kutanthauza kuti Olira). Pamenepo anapereka nsembe kwa Yehova.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
6 Yoswa atawuza Aisraeli kuti achoke, iwo anapita kukatenga dzikolo, aliyense dera lake.
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 Anthuwo anatumikira Yehova masiku onse a moyo wa Yoswa. Atamwalira Yoswa, Aisraeli anatumikirabe Yehova nthawi yonse ya moyo wa akuluakulu amene anaona zazikulu zimene Yehova anawachitira.
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
8 Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, mtumiki wa Yehova, anamwalira ali ndi zaka 110.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 Ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda a mʼdziko lake, ku Timnati-Heresi mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu, kumpoto kwa phiri la Gaasi.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 Mʼbado onse utapita kukakhala ndi anthu a mtundu awo, kenaka panauka mʼbado wina umene sunadziwe Yehova ngakhale ntchito zazikulu zimene Yehova anachitira Aisraeli.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Choncho Aisraeli anayamba kuchita zinthu zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anatumikira Abaala.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
12 Iwo anasiya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo awo, amene anawatulutsa ku Igupto. Ndipo anatsatira ndi kupembedza milungu yosiyanasiyana ya anthu amene anawazungulira. Motero Aisraeli anakwiyitsa Yehova.
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Iwo anasiya Yehova ndi kumatumikira Baala ndi Asiteroti.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Yehova anapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anawapereka mʼmanja mwa anthu ofunkha amene ankasakaza zinthu zawo. Ndipo analola kuti adani awo owazungulira amene sanathenso kulimbana nawo, awagonjetse.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Nthawi zonse Aisraeli ankati akapita ku nkhondo, Yehova amalimbana nawo kuti agonjetsedwe, monga ananenera molumbira kuti zidzaterodi. Choncho iwo anali pa mavuto aakulu.
Anywhere they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Choncho Yehova anawawutsira atsogoleri amene ankawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa anthu amene ankasakaza zinthu zawo.
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Komabe iwo sanawamvere atsogoleri awowo popeza ankapembedza milungu ina ndi kumayigwadira. Iwo anapatuka msangamsanga mu njira imene ankayendamo makolo awo. Iwo aja ankamvera malamulo a Yehova, koma mʼbado uwu ayi.
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
18 Nthawi zonse Yehova akawautsira mtsogoleri, Iye amakhala naye, ndipo mtsogoleriyo ankawapulumutsa Aisraeliwo mʼmanja mwa adani awo mʼnthawi imene anali moyo. Yehova ankawamvera chisoni Aisraeli pamene ankabuwula chifukwa cha anthu owazunza ndi kuwasautsa.
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 Koma nthawi zonse mtsogoleri akamwalira, Aisraeli ankabwerera mʼmbuyo. Iwo amadzisandutsa oyipa kupambana makolo awo popeza ankatsata milungu ina, kuyitumikira ndi kumayigwadira. Anakana kusiya makhalidwe awo oyipa ndi njira zawo zamakani.
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Choncho Yehova anawapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anati, “Chifukwa mtundu uwu waswa pangano limene ndinakhazikitsa ndi makolo awo ndipo sanandimvere,
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
21 Inenso sindidzapirikitsanso mtundu uli wonse wa anthu amene Yoswa anawasiya pomwalira.
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 Ndidzatero kuti ndiwayese Aisraeli ndi kuona ngati adzasamala kuyenda mʼnjira ya Ine Yehova monga momwe ankachitira makolo awo.”
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Choncho Yehova anayileka mitundu imeneyi ndipo sanayithamangitse kapena kuyipereka mʼmanja mwa Yoswa.
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
