Chronicles II 25
1 Amasias began to reign when he was twenty and five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Joadaen of Jerusalem.
Amaziya anali wa zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 29. Dzina la amayi ake linali Yehoyadini wa ku Yerusalemu.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, koma osati ndi mtima wonse.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.
Pamene mphamvu zonse zaufumu zinali mʼmanja mwake, iye anapha akuluakulu amene anapha abambo ake, mfumu ija.
4 But he killed not their sons, according to the covenant of the law of the Lord, as it is written, [and] as the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, but they shall die each for his own sin.
Komabe iye sanaphe ana awo koma anatsatira zolembedwa mʼbuku la Mose, mʼmene Yehova analamula kuti, “Makolo sadzaphedwa chifukwa cha ana awo kapena ana kuphedwa chifukwa cha makolo awo. Aliyense adzafera machimo ake.”
5 And Amasias assembled the house of Juda, and appointed them according to the houses of their families for captains of thousands and captains of hundreds in all Juda and Jerusalem: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand able to go out to war, holding spear and shield.
Amaziya anasonkhanitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndipo anawapatsa zochita molingana ndi mabanja awo kukhala anthu olamulira 1,000, ndi olamulira 100 pa Ayuda onse ndi Benjamini. Ndipo iye anawerenga amene anali ndi zaka makumi awiri kapena kupitirirapo napeza kuti analipo amuna 300,000 okonzeka kugwira ntchito ya usilikali, okhoza kugwiritsa ntchito mkondo ndi chishango.
6 Also he hired of Israel a hundred thousand mighty [men for] a hundred talents of silver.
Iye analembanso ntchito anthu odziwa nkhondo 100,000 ochokera ku Israeli pa mtengo wa makilogalamu 3,400 a siliva.
7 And there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, [even] all the sons of Ephraim.
Koma munthu wa Mulungu anabwera kwa iye ndipo anati, “Inu mfumu, asilikali awa ochokera ku Israeli asapite ndi inu, pakuti Yehova sali ndi Israeli kapena ndi aliyense wa anthu a Efereimu.
8 For if you shall undertake to strengthen [yourself] with these, then the lord shall put you to flight before the enemies: for it is of the Lord both to strengthen and to put to flight.
Ngakhale mupite ndi kuchita nkhondo molimba mtima, Mulungu adzakugonjetsani pamaso pa adani anu, pakuti Mulungu ali ndi mphamvu yothandiza kapena kugonjetsa.”
9 And Amasias said to the man of God, But what shall I do [for] the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God said, The Lord can give you much more than these.
Amaziya anafunsa munthu wa Mulungu kuti, “Koma nanga za makilogalamu aja a siliva amene ndapereka kwa asilikali a Israeli?” Munthu wa Mulungu anayankha kuti, “Yehova atha kukupatsani zambiri kuposa zimenezo.”
10 And Amasias separated from the army that came to him from Ephraim, that they might go away to their place; and they were very angry with Juda, and they returned to their place with great wrath.
Choncho Amaziya anachotsa asilikali amene anabwera kwa iye kuchokera ku Efereimu ndipo anawatumiza kwawo. Iwo anakwiyira anthu a ku Yuda ndipo anapita kwawo atapsa mtima kwambiri.
11 And Amasias strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the valley of salt, and struck there the children of Seir ten thousand.
Ndipo Amaziya analimba mtima ndipo anatsogolera gulu lake lankhondo ku Chigwa cha Mchere, kumene anapha anthu 10,000 a ku Seiri.
12 And the children of Juda took ten thousand prisoners, and they carried them to the top of the precipice, and cast them headlong from the top of the precipice, and they were all dashed to pieces.
Gulu la ankhondo la Yuda linagwiranso anthu amoyo 10,000, napita nawo pamwamba pa thanthwe ndipo anawaponya pansi kotero kuti onse ananyenyeka.
13 And the men of the host whom Amasias sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Baethoron; and they struck three thousand amongst them, and took much spoil.
Pa nthawi imeneyi asilikali amene Amaziya anawabweza ndipo sanawalole kuti achite nawo nkhondo, anakathira nkhondo mizinda ya Yuda kuyambira ku Samariya mpaka ku Beti-Horoni. Iwo anapha anthu 3,000 ndipo anafunkha katundu wambiri.
14 And it came to pass, after Amasias had returned from striking Idumea, that he brought home the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up for himself as gods, and bowed down before them, and he sacrificed to them.
Amaziya atabwerera kuja anakapha Aedomu, anabweretsa milungu ya anthu a ku Seiri. Ndipo anayika kuti ikhale milungu yake, ankayipembedza ndi kupereka nsembe zopsereza.
15 And the anger of the Lord came upon Amasias, and he sent him a prophet, and he said to him, Why have you sought the gods of the people, which have not rescued their own people out of your hand?
Yehova anakwiyira Amaziya, ndipo anamutumizira mneneri amene anati, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukupembedza milungu ya anthu awa, imene sinathe kupulumutsa anthu ake mʼdzanja lanu?”
16 And it came to pass when the prophet was speaking to him, that he said to him, have I made you king's counsellor? take heed lest you be scourged: and the prophet forebore, and said, I know that [God] is disposed against you to destroy you, because you have done this thing, and have not listened to my counsel.
Iye ali kuyankhula, mfumu inati, “Kodi ife takusankha iwe kuti ukhale mlangizi wa mfumu? Khala chete! Ufuna kuphedweranji?” Choncho mneneriyo analeka koma anati, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Mulungu watsimikiza kukuwonongani chifukwa mwachita izi ndipo simunamvere uphungu wanga.”
17 And Amasias king of Juda took counsel, and sent to Joas, son of Joachaz, son of Jeu, king of Israel, saying, Come, and let us look one another in the face.
Amaziya mfumu ya ku Yuda, atafunsa alangizi ake, anatumiza mawu awa kwa Yowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi mwana wa Yehu, mfumu ya Israeli: “Bwera udzakumane nane maso ndi maso.”
18 And Joas king of Israel sent to Amasias king of Juda, saying, The thistle that was in Libanus sent to the cedar that was in Libanus, saying, Give your daughter to my son to wife; but, behold, your wild beasts of the field that are in Libanus shall come: and the wild beasts did come, and trod down the thistle.
Koma Yowasi mfumu ya Israeli inayankha Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda kuti, “Nthawi ina kamtengo kaminga ka ku Lebanoni kanatumiza mawu kwa mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni kuti, ‘Pereka mwana wako wamkazi kwa mwana wanga kuti amukwatire!’ Koma chirombo cha ku Lebanoni chinabwera ndi kupondaponda mtengo wa minga uja.
19 You have said, Behold, I have struck Idumea, and your stout heart exalts you: now stay at home; for why do you implicate yourself in mischief, that you should fall, and Juda with you.
Iwe ukuti wagonjetsa Edomu, ndipo tsopano ukudzikuza ndi kudzitamandira, koma khala kwanu komweko! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukufuna mavuto ndi kudzichititsa kuti ugwe pamodzinso ndi Yuda?”
20 Nevertheless Amasias listened not, for it was of the Lord to deliver him into [the enemy's] hands, because he sought after the gods of the Idumeans.
Komabe Amaziya sanamvere pakuti ndi Mulungu amene anakonzeratu kuti awapereke kwa Yehowasi, chifukwa iwo amapembedza milungu ya ku Edomu.
21 So Joas king of Israel went up; and they saw one another, he and Amasias king of Juda, in Baethsamys, which is of Juda.
Kotero Yowasi mfumu ya Israeli inakamuthira nkhondo. Iye ndi Amaziya anayangʼanana maso ndi maso ku Beti-Semesi ku Yuda.
22 And Juda was put to flight before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
Yuda anagonjetsedwa ndi Israeli ndipo munthu aliyense anathawira kwawo.
23 And Joas king of Israel took prisoner Amasias king of Juda, [son] of Joas, son of Joachaz, in Baethsamys, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he pulled down [part] of the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Yehowahazi mfumu ya Israeli inagwira Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, mwana wa Yowasi, mwana wa Ahaziya ku Beti-Semesi. Yehowasi anabwera naye ku Yerusalemu ndipo anagwetsa khoma la Yerusalemu kuyambira pa Chipata cha Efereimu mpaka ku Chipata Chapangodya, khoma lotalika mamita 180.
24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and with Abdedom, and the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and he returned to Samaria.
Iye anatenga golide ndi siliva yense ndi zida zonse zimene zimapezeka mʼNyumba ya Mulungu zimene ankazisamalira Obedi-Edomu, pamodzinso ndi chuma cha mʼnyumba yaufumu ndipo anatenga anthu ngati chikole.
25 And Amasias the [son] of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas the [son] of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anakhala ndi moyo kwa zaka khumi ndi zisanu atamwalira Yehowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi mfumu ya Israeli.
26 And the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and the last, Behold! are they not written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel?
Ntchito zina za mfumu Amaziya, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka pa mapeto, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mafumu a Yuda ndi Israeli?
27 And at the time when Amasias departed from the Lord, then they formed a conspiracy against him; and he fled from Jerusalem to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
Kuyambira nthawi imene Amaziya analeka kutsatira Yehova anthu anamukonzera chiwembu mu Yerusalemu ndipo anathawira ku Lakisi, koma adaniwo anatumiza anthu ku Lakisiko ndipo anamupha komweko.
28 And they took him up on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Iwo anabwera naye ali pa kavalo ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda ndi makolo ake mu mzinda wa Yuda.
