2 Kings 23
1 And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
Pamenepo mfumu inayitanitsa akuluakulu onse a ku Yuda ndi Yerusalemu.
2 And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
Mfumuyo inapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova pamodzi ndi anthu onse a ku Yuda, ndi onse okhala mu Yerusalemu, ansembe ndi aneneri, ndiponso anthu ena onse kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu. Mfumuyo inawerenga mawu onse a mʼBuku la Chipangano limene linapezeka mʼNyumba ya Yehova, anthu onse akumva.
3 And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
Mfumu inayimirira pambali pa chipilala ndi kuchita pangano pamaso pa Yehova kuti idzatsatira Yehova ndi kusunga malamulo, mawu ndi malangizo ake ndi mtima wonse ndi moyo wonse, kukwaniritsa mawu a mʼpanganoli, olembedwa mʼbukuli. Pamenepo anthu onse anadzipereka kutsatira panganoli.
4 And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
Mfumu inalamula wansembe wamkulu Hilikiya, ansembe othandizana naye ndi alonda a pa khomo kuti achotse mʼNyumba ya Yehova ziwiya zonse zopembedzera Baala ndi Asera ndiponso mafano a zinthu zamlengalenga. Yosiya anazitentha kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku minda ya ku Chigwa cha Kidroni ndipo phulusa lake anapita nalo ku Beteli.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
Iye anachotsa ansembe a mafano amene anayikidwa ndi mafumu a Yuda kuti azifukiza lubani ku malo opembedzera mafano a ku mizinda ya ku Yuda ndi kumalo ozungulira Yerusalemu, amene ankafukiza lubani kwa Baala, dzuwa, mwezi, nyenyezi ndi zinthu zonse zamlengalenga.
6 And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
Anachotsa fano la Asera mʼNyumba ya Yehova napita nalo kunja kwa Yerusalemu, ku Chigwa cha Kidroni, nalitentha kumeneko. Anapera fanolo ndi kukataya phulusa lake pa manda a anthu wamba.
7 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
Iye anagwetsanso tinyumba ta ochita zachiwerewere, timene tinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova, kumene akazi ankalukirako mikanjo yovala popembedza Asera.
8 And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
Yosiya anabweretsanso ansembe onse kuchokera mʼmizinda ya Yuda, nawononga malo opembedzera mafano, kuyambira ku Geba mpaka ku Beeriseba, kumene ansembe ankafukizako lubani. Anagwetsa nyumba za milungu zimene zinali pa chipata cha Yoswa, bwanamkubwa wa mzindawo, kumanzere kwa chipata cha mzinda.
9 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
Ngakhale kuti ansembe a ku malo opembedzera mafanowo sanawalole kuti atumikire pa guwa lansembe la Yehova mu Yerusalemu, koma ankadya buledi wopanda yisiti pamodzi ndi ansembe anzawo.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
Mfumu Yosiya anawononganso Tofeti, amene anali ku Chigwa cha Hinomu, kuti wina aliyense asagwiritse ntchito malowo popereka mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi pa moto kwa Moleki.
11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
Anachotsa pa chipata cholowera ku Nyumba ya Yehova akavalo amene mafumu a Yuda anawapereka ngati nsembe kwa dzuwa. Akavalo anali pafupi ndi bwalo la chipinda cha mkulu wina wotchedwa Natani-Meleki. Ndipo Yosiya anatentha magaleta opembedzera dzuwa.
12 And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
Anagwetsa maguwa amene mafumu a Yuda anawamanga pa denga pafupi ndi chipinda chapamwamba cha Ahazi, ndiponso maguwa amene Manase anamanga mʼmabwalo awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova. Yosiya anawachotsa kumeneko nawaphwanya ndi kutaya zidutswa zake mʼChigwa cha Kidroni.
13 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
Mfumuyo inawononga malo opembedzera mafano amene ali kummawa kwa Yerusalemu cha kumpoto kwa Phiri la Chiwonongeko. Maguwawa Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli inamangira Asitoreti, fano lalikazi lonyansa la Asidoni, Kemosi, fano lonyansa la Amowabu, ndi Moleki, fano lonyansa la anthu a ku Amoni.
14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
Yosiya anaphwanya miyala ya chipembedzo ndiponso anadula mitengo ya fano la Asera ndipo anakwirira malowo ndi mafupa a anthu.
15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
Ngakhalenso guwa lansembe la ku Beteli, malo opembedzera mafano amene anapanga Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa Israeli, Yosiya anawononga guwalo ndi malo opembedzera mafanowo. Iye anatentha malo opembedzera mafanowo ndi kuwapera ndipo anatenthanso fano la Asera.
16 And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
Kenaka Yosiya anayangʼanayangʼana ndipo ataona manda amene anali pomwepo, mʼmbali mwa phiri, analamula kuti afukule mandawo ndi kutulutsa mafupa kuti awatenthe paguwapo kuti alidetse, potsatira mawu a Yehova amene munthu wa Mulungu analoseratu za zimenezi.
17 And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
Mfumu inafunsa kuti, “Kodi chizindikiro cha manda chimene ndikuwaonawo ndi chayani?” Anthu a mu mzindamo anayankha kuti, “Ndi chizindikiro cha manda a munthu wa Mulungu wochokera ku Yuda amene ananeneratu zimene inu mwalichita guwa lansembe la Beteli.”
18 And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Mfumuyo inati, “Alekeni manda amenewo, munthu asachotse mafupa ake.” Choncho anawasiya mafupa akewo pamodzi ndi mafupa a mneneri wa ku Samariya uja.
19 Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Monga momwe Yosiya anachitira ku Beteli, anachotsa ndi kuwononga nyumba za milungu zonse ndi malo opembedzera mafano amene mafumu anamanga mʼmizinda ya ku Samariya omwe anakwiyitsa Yehova.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
Yosiya anapha ansembe onse amene ankatumikira ku malo opembedzera mafano, anawaphera pa maguwa awo ndi kutentha mafupa awo. Kenaka iye anapita ku Yerusalemu.
21 And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
Mfumu inalamula anthu onse kuti, “Chitani Chikondwerero cha Paska kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, motsatira zomwe zalembedwa mʼBuku la Chipangano.”
22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
Paska yotere inali isanachitikepo kuyambira nthawi ya oweruza amene anatsogolera Israeli, kapenanso nthawi yonse ya mafumu a Yuda sipanachitikenso Paska ngati imeneyo.
23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
Koma mʼchaka cha 18 cha Mfumu Yosiya, Paska imeneyi anachitira Yehova mu Yerusalemu.
24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
Kuwonjezera apa, Yosiya anachotsa anthu a mawula, woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, milungu ya mʼnyumba, mafano ndiponso zinthu zonse zonyansa zopezeka mu Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anachita izi pokwaniritsa lamulo lolembedwa mʼbuku limene Hilikiya analipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
25 There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
Yosiyayo asanalowe ufumu, ngakhale atamwalira, panalibenso mfumu ina yofanana naye imene inatembenukira kwa Yehova monga anachitira, ndi mtima wake wonse, ndi moyo wake wonse, ndi mphamvu zake zonse, motsatira Malamulo onse a Mose.
26 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
Komabe Yehova sanachotse mkwiyo wake woopsa, umene anali nawo pa Yuda chifukwa cha zonse zimene anachita Manase poputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu.
27 And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
Choncho Yehova anati, “Ndidzawachotsanso anthu a ku Yuda pamaso panga monga ndinachotsera anthu a ku Israeli ndipo ndidzawukana mzinda wa Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha, pamodzi ndi Nyumba ino imene ndinati, ‘Dzina langa lidzakhala mʼmenemo.’”
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Ntchito zina za Yosiya ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
29 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
Yosiya akanali mfumu, Farao wotchedwa Neko, mfumu ya Igupto, anapita ku Mtsinje wa Yufurate kukathandiza mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Mfumu Yosiya anapita kukachita naye nkhondo, koma Neko anakumana naye ndi kumupha ku Megido.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
Atumiki a Yosiyayo ananyamula mtembo wake mu galeta kuchokera ku Megido mpaka ku Yerusalemu ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda akeake. Ndipo anthu a mʼdzikomo anatenga Yehowahazi mwana wa Yosiya namudzoza, ndipo iye analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake.
31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Yehowahazi anakhala mfumu ali ndi 23 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu miyezi itatu. Amayi ake anali Hamutali, mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anachitira makolo ake.
33 And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Farao Neko anamuyika mʼndende ku Ribula mʼdziko la Hamati kuti asalamulirenso mu Yerusalemu. Farao analamula Yuda kuti azikhoma msonkho wa siliva wolemera makilogalamu 3,400, ndiponso golide wolemera makilogalamu 34.
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
Farao Neko anayika Eliyakimu mwana wa Yosiya kuti akhale mfumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake Yosiya, ndipo anasintha dzina lake kukhala Yehoyakimu. Koma iye anatenga Yehowahazi kupita naye ku Igupto ndipo anakafera kumeneko.
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
Yehoyakimu anapereka kwa Farao Neko siliva ndi golide amene anamufuna uja. Koma kuti iye apereke zimenezi, amankhometsa msonkho mʼdziko mwakemo ndipo amalandira siliva ndi golide kuchokera kwa anthu a mʼdzikomo molingana ndi chuma cha munthu aliyense.
36 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
Yehoyakimu anali wa zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 11. Amayi ake anali Zebuda, mwana wa Pedaya wa ku Ruma.
37 And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga momwe anachitira makolo ake.
