< 2 Chronicles 22 >
1 Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
Anthu a mu Yerusalemu anayika Ahaziya mwana wamngʼono kwambiri wa Yehoramu kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake, popeza gulu lankhondo limene linabwera ndi Aarabu ku misasa, linapha ana onse aakulu. Motero Ahaziya mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
Ahaziya anali wa zaka 22 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu chaka chimodzi. Dzina la amayi ake linali Ataliya, chidzukulu cha Omuri.
3 Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
Nayenso anayenda mʼnjira ya banja la Ahabu, pakuti amayi ake anamulimbikitsa kuchita zolakwika.
4 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe banja la Ahabu linachitira, pakuti atamwalira abambo ake, iwo anakhala alangizi ake, kumene kunali kudziwononga kwake.
5 Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
Iyeyo anatsatiranso uphungu wawo pamene anapita ndi Yehoramu, mwana wa Ahabu, mfumu ya Israeli kukachita nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu ku Ramoti Giliyadi. Aaramu anavulaza Yehoramu,
6 so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
kotero iye anabwerera ku Yezireeli kuti akachire mabala amene anamuvulaza ku Ramoti pa nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aaramu. Ndipo Ahaziya, mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anapita ku Yezireeli kukaona Yehoramu mwana wa Ahabu chifukwa anavulazidwa.
7 Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
Mulungu anakonza kuti Ahaziya akaphedwe pa ulendo wake wokacheza. Ahaziya atafika, iye ndi Yoramu anapita kukakumana ndi Yehu mwana wa Nimisi, amene Yehova anamudzoza kuti akawononge banja la Ahabu.
8 So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
Pamene Yehu ankalanga banja la Ahabu anapeza atsogoleri a ku Yuda ndiponso ana aamuna a abale ake a Ahaziya amene amatumikira Ahaziya, ndipo anawapha.
9 Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
Kenaka anapita kukafunafuna Ahaziya, ndipo anthu ake anagwira Ahaziya pamene amabisala mu Samariya. Anabwera naye kwa Yehu ndipo anaphedwa. Iwo anamuyika mʼmanda, pakuti anati, “Iyeyu anali mwana wa Yehosafati amene anafunafuna Yehova ndi mtima wake wonse.” Kotero panalibe wamphamvu mʼbanja la Ahaziya kuti nʼkukhala mfumu.
10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
Ataliya, amayi ake a Ahaziya, ataona kuti mwana wawo wafa, ananyamuka nakapha onse a banja laufumu la Yuda.
11 But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
Koma Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa mfumu Yehoramu, anatenga Yowasi mwana wa Ahaziya, momuba ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa ana aamuna a mfumu amene amati aphedwe ndipo anamuyika iye ndi mlezi wake mʼchipinda chogona. Motero Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa mfumu Yehoramu, mkazi wa wansembe Yehoyada, yemwe anali mlongo wake wa Ahaziya anamubisa mwanayo kuti Ataliya asamuphe.
12 And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
Mwanayo anakhala mobisala pamodzi ndi iwo mu Nyumba ya Mulungu kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi muulamuliro wa Ataliya.
