2 Kings 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah became king of Judah.
Mʼchaka cha 27 cha Yeroboamu mfumu ya Israeli, Azariya mwana wa Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 16 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 52. Amayi ake anali Yekoliya wa ku Yerusalemu.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
Iyeyo anachita zabwino pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Amaziya abambo ake.
4 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
Komabe malo opembedzerako mafano sanawachotse ndipo anthu anapitirizabe kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
5 And the LORD afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, so that he lived in a separate house while his son Jotham had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
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.
6 As for the rest of the acts of Azariah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Azariya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
7 And Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
Azariya anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Yotamu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria six months.
Mʼchaka cha 38 cha Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Zekariya mwana wa Yeroboamu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli ku Samariya ndipo analamulira miyezi isanu ndi umodzi.
9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
Ndipo iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira makolo ake. Iye sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
10 Then Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah, struck him down and killed him in front of the people, and reigned in his place.
Salumu mwana wa Yabesi anachitira chiwembu Zekariya. Anamukantha anthu akuona, namupha, ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
11 As for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ntchito zina za Zekariya, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.
12 So the word of the LORD spoken to Jehu was fulfilled: “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
Awa ndiwo mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kwa Yehu kuti, “Ana ako adzalamulira Israeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.”
13 In the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah’s reign over Judah, Shallum son of Jabesh became king, and he reigned in Samaria one full month.
Salumu mwana wa Yabesi anakhala mfumu mʼchaka cha 39 cha ulamuliro wa Uziya mfumu ya Yuda ndipo analamulira mu Samariya mwezi umodzi.
14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah to Samaria, struck down and killed Shallum son of Jabesh, and reigned in his place.
Ndipo Menahemu mwana wa Gadi anachoka ku Tiriza napita ku Samariya nakantha Salumu mwana wa Yabesi ku Samariya, namupha ndipo iye analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
15 As for the rest of the acts of Shallum, along with the conspiracy he led, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ntchito zina za Salumu ndiponso za chiwembu chimene anachita, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.
16 At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in its vicinity, because they would not open their gates. So he attacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.
Nthawi imeneyo Menahemu, kuchokera ku Tiriza, anakathira nkhondo mzinda wa Tipisa ndi anthu onse amene anali mʼmenemo ndi dera lonse lozungulira chifukwa iwo anakana kutsekula zipata zawo. Iye anatenga katundu yense mu mzinda wa Tipisa ndi kutumbula akazi onse oyembekezera.
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years.
Mʼchaka cha 39 cha Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Menahemu mwana wa Gadi anakhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo analamulira mu Samariya zaka khumi.
18 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and throughout his reign he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wake sanasiye machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
19 Then Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the kingdom.
Tsono Puli mfumu ya ku Asiriya inadzathira nkhondo dzikolo ndipo Menahemu anapatsa Puliyo makilogalamu 34,000 a siliva kuti amuthandize ndi kulimbikitsa ufumu wake.
20 Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.
Menahemu anapeza ndalamazo kudzera mu msonkho umene ankakhometsa Aisraeli. Munthu aliyense wachuma ankapereka masekeli a siliva makumi asanu kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Choncho mfumu ya ku Asiriya inabwerera ndipo sinakhalenso mʼdzikomo.
21 As for the rest of the acts of Menahem, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Menahemu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
22 And Menahem rested with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah reigned in his place.
Menahemu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Pekahiya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel and reigned in Samaria two years.
Mʼchaka cha makumi asanu a Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Pekahiya mwana wa Menahemu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mu Samariya ndipo analamulira zaka ziwiri.
24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
Pekahiya anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Iye sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, omwe anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
25 Then his officer, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him along with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men of Gilead. And at the citadel of the king’s palace in Samaria, Pekah struck down and killed Pekahiah and reigned in his place.
Ndipo Peka mwana wa Remaliya, mtsogoleri wake wa ankhondo, anamuchita chiwembu. Iye pamodzi ndi anthu makumi asanu a ku Giliyadi anapha Pekahiya pamodzi ndi Arigobu ndi Ariyeli mʼchipinda choteteza nyumba ya mfumu mu Samariya. Kotero Peka anapha Pekahiya ndipo analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
26 As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ntchito zina za Pekahiya ndi zonse zimene anachita zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty years.
Mʼchaka cha 52 cha Azariya mfumu ya Yuda, Peka mwana wa Remaliya anakhala mfumu ya Israeli ku Samariya ndipo analamulira zaka makumi awiri.
28 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.
Nthawi ya Peka mfumu ya Israeli, Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya ku Asiriya anabwera ndi kudzalanda Iyoni, Abeli-Beti-Maaka, Yanowa, Kedesi ndi Hazori. Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inatenga Giliyadi ndi Galileya, kuphatikizanso madera onse a Nafutali ndipo anatumiza Aisraeli ku Asiriya.
30 Then Hoshea son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah, Hoshea attacked Pekah, killed him, and reigned in his place.
Kenaka Hoseya mwana wa Ela anachitira chiwembu Peka mwana wa Remaliya. Anamukantha ndi kumupha ndipo anakhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake mʼchaka makumi awiri cha Yotamu mwana wa Uziya.
31 As for the rest of the acts of Pekah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Ntchito zina za Peka ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
32 In the second year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah over Israel, Jotham son of Uzziah became king of Judah.
Mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Peka mwana wa Remaliya mfumu ya Israeli, Yotamu mwana wa Uziya mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok.
Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 16. Amayi ake anali Yerusa mwana wa Zadoki.
34 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done.
Iye anachita zabwino pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Uziya abambo ake.
35 Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD.
Komabe malo opembedzera mafano sanawachotse ndipo anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
36 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Yotamu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
37 (In those days the LORD began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.)
(Nthawi imeneyo, Yehova anayamba kumatuma Rezini mfumu ya Aaramu ndi Peka mwana wa Remaliya kudzamenyana ndi Yuda).
38 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David his father. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
Yotamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide abambo ake. Ndipo Ahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
