< 2 Kings 8 >

1 And Eliseus spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst find: for the Lord hath exiled a famine, and it shall come upon the land seven years.
Ndipo Elisa anawuza mayi amene anamuukitsira mwana wake kuti, “Choka kuno pamodzi ndi banja lako ndipo ukakhale kulikonse ukufuna, chifukwa Yehova akubweretsa njala ya zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri mʼdziko muno.”
2 And she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Mayiyo ananyamuka nachita zimene munthu wa Mulungu ananena. Iye pamodzi ndi banja lake anachoka nakakhala ku dziko la Afilisti zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri.
3 And when the seven years were ended, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, and she went forth to speak to the king for her house, and for her lands.
Zitatha zaka zisanu ndi ziwirizo anabwera kuchokera ku dziko la Afilisti ndipo anapita kwa mfumu kukafunsa za nyumba yake ndi munda wake.
4 And the king talked with Giezi, the servant of the man of God, saying: Tell me all the great things that Eliseus hath done.
Ndipo mfumu inkayankhula ndi Gehazi, mtumiki wa munthu wa Mulungu kuti, “Tandiwuza zinthu zikuluzikulu zimene Elisa wachita.”
5 And when he was telling the king how he had raised one dead to life, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying to the king for her house, and her lands. And Giezi said: My lord O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Eliseus raised to life.
Pamene Gehazi ankayiwuza mfumuyo momwe Elisa anaukitsira anthu akufa, mayi amene mwana wake Elisa anamuukitsa kwa akufayo analowa kudzafunsa mfumu za nyumba yake ndi munda wake. Gehazi anati, “Mbuye wanga mfumu, mayi wake ndi uyu ndipo mwana wakeyo ndi uyu amene Elisa anamuukitsa kwa akufa.”
6 And the king asked the woman: and she told him. And the king appointed her an eunuch, saying: Restore her all that is hers, and all the revenues of the lands, from the day that she left the land, to this present.
Mfumu inafunsa mayiyo za nkhaniyi ndipo iye anayifotokozera mfumuyo. Ndipo mfumu inasankha munthu woti ayendetse nkhani yake ndipo inati, “Mubwezereni zonse zimene zinali zake, kuphatikizapo phindu lonse lochokera mʼmunda wake, kuyambira tsiku limene anachoka mpaka tsopano lino.”
7 Eliseus also came to Damascus, and Benadad king of Syria was sick: and they told him, saying: The man of God is come hither.
Elisa anapita ku Damasiko, ndipo Beni-Hadadi mfumu ya ku Aramu ankadwala. Mfumuyo itawuzidwa kuti, “Munthu wa Mulungu wabwera kuno kuchokera kutali,”
8 And the king said to Hazael: Take with thee presents, and go to meet the man of God, and consult the Lord by him, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
inawuza Hazaeli kuti, “Tenga mphatso ndipo pita ukakumane ndi munthu wa Mulungu. Ukandifunsire kwa Yehova kudzera mwa iye kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzachira matenda angawa?’”
9 And Hazael went to meet him, taking with him presents, and all the good things of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he stood before him, he said: Thy son Benadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
Choncho Hazaeli anapita kukakumana ndi Elisa, atasenzetsa ngamira 40 mphatso za zinthu zosiyanasiyana zabwino kwambiri za ku Damasiko. Iye analowa mʼnyumba ya Elisa ndi kuyima pamaso pake, ndipo anati, “Mwana wanu Beni-Hadadi wandituma kuti ndidzakufunseni kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzachira matenda angawa?’”
10 And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: bat the Lord hath shewn me that he shall surely die.
Elisa anayankha kuti, “Pita ndipo ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Udzachira ndithu,’ koma Yehova wandionetsa kuti adzafabe.”
11 And he stood with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: and the man of God wept.
Elisa anamuyangʼana kwambiri Hazaeli mpaka anachita manyazi. Pamenepo munthu wa Mulungu anayamba kulira.
12 And Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities then wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women.
Hazaeli anafunsa kuti, “Mbuye wanga mukulira chifukwa chiyani?” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Chifukwa ndikudziwa choyipa chimene udzachitira Aisraeli. Udzatentha mizinda yawo ya chitetezo, udzapha anyamata awo ndi lupanga, udzaphwanyitsa pansi makanda awo ndiponso udzatumbula mimba za akazi awo oyembekezera.”
13 And Hazael said: But what am I thy servant a dog, that I should do this great thing? And Eliseus said: The Lord hath shewn me that thou shalt be king of Syria.
Ndipo Hazaeli anati, “Kodi kapolo wanune, amene ndine wonyozeka ngati galu, ndingathe bwanji kuchita chinthu chachikulu chotere?” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Yehova wandionetsa kuti iwe udzakhala mfumu ya ku Aramu.”
14 And when he was departed from Eliseus, he came to his master, who said to him: What saith Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover.
Choncho Hazaeli anasiyana ndi Elisa ndi kubwerera kwa mbuye wake. Beni-Hadadi atafunsa kuti, “Elisa wakuwuza chiyani?” Hazaeli anayankha kuti, “Elisa wandiwuza kuti inu mudzachira ndithu.”
15 And on the next day he took a blanket, and pouted water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead.
Koma mmawa mwake Hazaeli anatenga nsalu yokhuthala ndi kuyiviyika mʼmadzi ndipo anaphimba nayo nkhope ya mfumu, kotero mfumuyo inafa. Hazaeli analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
16 In the fifth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, and of Josaphat king of Juda, reigned Joram son of Josaphat king of Juda.
Chaka chachisanu cha ufumu wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfumu ya ku Israeli, Yehosafati ali mfumu ya ku Yuda, Yehoramu mwana wake anakhala mfumu ya Ayuda.
17 He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Yehoramu analowa ufumu ali ndi zaka 32, ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka zisanu ndi zitatu.
18 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Iye anatsatira khalidwe la mafumu a ku Israeli, monga mmene linachitira banja la Ahabu, popeza iye anakwatira mwana wa Ahabu. Yehoramu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova.
19 But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant’s sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always.
Komabe, chifukwa cha mtumiki wake Davide, Yehova sanafune kuwononga Yuda popeza Yehova analonjeza Davide kuti adzamupatsa nyale pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zake mpaka muyaya.
20 In his days Edom revolted, from being under Juda, and made themselves a king.
Pa nthawi ya Yehoramu, Edomu anawukira ulamuliro wa Yuda ndipo anadzisankhira mfumu.
21 And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents.
Choncho Yehoramu anapita ku Zairi pamodzi ndi magaleta ake onse. Ndipo iye anakantha Aedomu amene anamuzungulira pamodzi ndi oyendetsa magaleta ake usiku. Koma ankhondo ake anathawa napita ku misasa yawo.
22 So Edom revolted from being under Juda, unto this day. Then Lobna also revolted at the same time.
Mpaka lero lino Edomu ndi wowukira Yuda. Nthawi yomweyo mzinda wa Libina unawukiranso.
23 But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Ndipo ntchito zina za Yehoramu ndi zonse zomwe anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias his son reigned in Iris stead.
Choncho Yehoramu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Ahaziya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, reigned Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda.
Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri cha Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfumu ya Israeli, Ahaziya mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
26 Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel.
Ahaziya anali ndi zaka 22 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu chaka chimodzi. Amayi ake anali Ataliya, chidzukulu cha Omiri mfumu ya Israeli.
27 And he walked in the ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab.
Iye anatsatira makhalidwe a banja la Ahabu ndipo anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, monga linachitira banja la Ahabu, pakuti anali mkamwini wa banja la Ahabu.
28 He went also with Joram son of Achab, to fight against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth Galaad, and the Syrians wounded Joram:
Ahaziya anapita pamodzi ndi Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu kukachita nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu ku Ramoti Giliyadi. Aaramu anavulaza Yoramu.
29 And he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel, because he was sick there.
Choncho mfumu Yoramu inabwerera ku Yezireeli kuti ikachire mabala ake amene Aaramu anamuvulaza ku Rama pa nkhondo yake ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu. Tsono Ahaziya mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya ku Yuda anapita ku Yezireeli kuti akamuone Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, popeza nʼkuti akudwala.
