Kings IV 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] seventeen years.
Mʼchaka cha 23 cha ufumu wa Yowasi mwana wa Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda, Yehowahazi, mwana wa Yehu anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mu Samariya, ndipo analamulira zaka 17.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova potsatira machimo a Yeroboamu mwana Nebati amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli ndipo iye sanawaleke machimowo.
3 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.
Ndipo Yehova anakwiyira Aisraeli nawayika pansi pa ulamuliro wa Hazaeli mfumu ya Siriya ndi Beni-Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli masiku awo onse.
4 And Joachaz implored the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.
Tsono Yehowahazi anapempha Yehova kuti amuchitire chifundo ndipo Yehova anamva pempho lake chifukwa anaona momwe mfumu ya Aramu inkapsinjira Aisraeli.
5 And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel lived in their tents as heretofore.
Yehova anapatsa Aisraeli munthu woti awapulumutse ndipo anapulumuka mʼdzanja la Aramu. Choncho Aisraeli anakhala mʼnyumba zawo monga ankachitira kale.
6 Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.
Komabe Aisraeli sanaleke kuchita machimo a nyumba ya Yeroboamu, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli. Iwo anapitirira kuchita machimowo. Ndiponso fano la Asera linakhalabe ku Samariya.
7 Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.
Yehowahazi sanatsale ndi ankhondo ambiri koma 50 okha okwera pa akavalo, magaleta khumi ndi asilikali oyenda pansi 10,000.
8 And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yehowahazi ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
9 And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.
Yehowahazi anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Samariya. Ndipo Yowasi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.
Mʼchaka cha 37 cha Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda, Yehowahazi anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mu Samariya, ndipo analamulira zaka 16.
11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo sanaleke kuchita tchimo la Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati limene anachimwitsa nalo Israeli.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yowasi ndi zonse zimene anachita, kuphatikizapo nkhondo yake ndi Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
13 And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Yowasi anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake ndipo Yeroboamu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake. Yowasi anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Samariya pamodzi ndi mafumu a Israeli.
14 Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, [My] father, [my] father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!
Tsono Elisa anadwala matenda amene anafa nawo. Yowasi mfumu ya Israeli inapita kukamuona ndipo inamulirira. Iye polira ankanena kuti, “Abambo anga! Abambo anga! Magaleta a Israeli ndi okwerapo ake a Israeli!”
15 And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.
Elisa anamuwuza kuti, “Tenga uta ndi mivi.” Ndipo anaterodi.
16 And he said to the king, Put your hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon [it]: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.
Elisa anawuza mfumu ya Israeli kuti, “Tenga uta mʼdzanja lako.” Pamene anatenga utawo, Elisa anayika manja ake pa manja a mfumuyo.
17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And [Elisaie] said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and you shall strike the Syrians in Aphec until you have consumed them.
Elisa anamuwuza kuti, “Tsekula zenera.” Ndipo anatsekuladi. Elisa anati, “Ponya muviwo!” Ndipo anaponyadi. Elisa anati, “Muvi wa chigonjetso cha Yehova, muvi wogonjetsera Aaramu! Iwe udzawawononga kwathunthu Aaramu ku Afeki.”
18 And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And [he] said to the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And the king struck three times, and stayed.
Kenaka Elisa anati, “Tenga mivi.” Ndipo mfumu inatenga miviyo. Iye anati, “Lasa pansi.” Mfumu inalasa pansi miviyo katatu nʼkuleka.
19 And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If you had struck five or six times, then you should have struck Syria till you had consumed them; but now you shall strike Syria [only] thrice.
Munthu wa Mulungu anapsera mtima mfumuyo ndipo anati, “Ukanalasa pansi kasanu kapena kasanu nʼkamodzi. Pamenepo ukanatha kuwagonjetsa Aaramu ndi kuwawononga kwathunthu. Koma tsopano udzawagonjetsa katatu kokha.”
20 And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.
Elisa anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda. Tsono magulu a ankhondo a Amowabu ankabwera kudzalowa ndi kudzathira nkhondo dzikolo nthawi ya dzinja.
21 And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band [of men], and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.
Tsiku lina Aisraeli ena akukayika maliro mʼmanda, mwadzidzidzi anaona gulu lankhondo ndipo munthu womwalirayo anamuponyera mʼmanda a Elisa. Pamene mtembowo unakhudza mafupa a Elisa, munthu wakufayo anatsitsimuka nayimirira.
22 And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.
Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu inazunza Aisraeli nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wa Yehowahazi.
23 And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.
Koma Yehova anawachitira chifundo Aisraeliwo ndi kukhudzika ndi zomwe zinkawachitikira chifukwa cha pangano lake ndi Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo. Mpaka lero lino Iye sanafune kuwawononga kapena kuwachotsa pamaso pake.
24 And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.
Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu inamwalira ndipo mwana wake Beni-Hadadi analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
25 And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas strike him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
Pamenepo Yowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi analandanso kwa Beni-Hadadi mwana wa Hazaeli mizinda yonse imene iye analanda Yehowahazi abambo ake. Yehowasi anagonjetsa Beni-Hadadi katatu ndipo anatenganso mizinda ya Israeli.
