2 Kings 10
1 Ahab had nowe seuentie sonnes in Samaria. And Iehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria vnto the rulers of Izreel, and to the Elders, and to the bringers vp of Ahabs children, to this effect,
Tsono Ahabu anali ndi ana aamuna 70 a ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehu analemba makalata nawatumiza ku Samariya kwa atsogoleri a mu mzinda wa Yezireeli, kwa akuluakulu ndiponso kwa amene ankalera ana a Ahabu, nati,
2 Nowe when this letter commeth to you, (for ye haue with you your masters sonnes, yee haue with you both charets and horses, and a defenced citie, and armour)
“Inu mukangolandira kalatayi, popeza ana a mbuye wanu ali ndi inu ndiponso muli ndi magaleta ndi akavalo, mzinda wotetezedwa ndi zida zankhondo,
3 Consider therefore which of your masters sonnes is best and most meete, and set him on his fathers throne, and fight for your masters house.
sankhani mwana wa mbuye wanu amene ndi wooneka bwino ndiponso woyenera, mulowetseni ufumu wa abambo ake. Kenaka muchite nkhondo kuteteza nyumba ya mbuye wanu.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and saide, Behold two Kings coulde not stande before him, how shall we then stand?
Koma anthuwo anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo anati, “Taonani, mafumu awiri sanathe kulimbana naye, nanga ife tingathe bwanji?”
5 And he that was gouernour of Ahabs house, and he that ruled the citie, and the Elders, and the bringers vp of the children sent to Iehu, saying, We are thy seruants, and will doe all that thou shalt bid vs: we will make no King: do what seemeth good to thee.
Choncho woyangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, bwanamkubwa wa mzinda, akuluakulu ena ndiponso olera anawo anatumiza uthenga uwu kwa Yehu: “Ife ndife atumiki anu ndipo tidzachita chilichonse chomwe mutiwuze. Sitidzasankha munthu wina aliyense kukhala mfumu ndipo chitani chimene mukuganiza kuti nʼchabwino kwa inu.”
6 Then he wrote another letter to them, saying, If ye be mine, and wil obey my voyce, take the heads of ye men that are your masters sonnes, and come to me to Izreel by to morowe this time. (Nowe the Kings sonnes, euen seuentie persons were with the great men of the citie, which brought them vp)
Ndipo Yehu anawalembera kalata yachiwiri yonena kuti, “Ngati inu muli mbali yanga ndi kuti mudzandimvera, mudule mitu ya ana a mbuye wanu ndipo mubwere nayo kwa ine ku Yezireeli mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino.” Tsono ana a mfumu onse 70 anali pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a mu mzindamo, amene ankawalera.
7 And when the letter came to them, they tooke the Kings sonnes, and slewe the seuentie persons, and layde their heads in baskets, and sent them vnto him to Izreel.
Kalatayo itafika, anthuwo anatenga ana a mfumu 70 aja ndi kuwapha onse. Anayika mitu yawo mʼmadengu ndi kuyitumiza ku Yezireeli kwa Yehu.
8 Then there came a messenger and tolde him, saying, They haue brought the heads of the Kings sonnes. And he sayd, Let them lay them on two heapes at the entring in of the gate vntil the morning.
Mthenga uja atafika, anamuwuza Yehu kuti, “Abweretsa mitu ya ana a mfumu.” Ndipo Yehu analamula kuti, “Unjikani mituyo mʼmilu iwiri pa chipata cha mzinda ndipo ikhale pamenepo mpaka mmawa.”
9 And when it was day, he went out, and stood and sayd to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
Mmawa mwake Yehu anatuluka. Iye anayimirira pamaso pa anthu onse ndipo anati, “Inu ndinu osalakwa. Ndine amene ndinachita chiwembu mbuye wanu ndi kumupha, koma kodi wapha anthu onsewa ndani?
10 Knowe nowe that there shall fall vnto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath brought to passe the things that hee spake by his seruant Eliiah.
Koma dziwani tsono, kuti mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kunena za banja la Ahabu sadzapita padera. Yehova wachita chimene analonjeza kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Eliya.”
11 So Iehu slew al that remained of the house of Ahab in Izreel, and all that were great with him, and his familiars and his priestes, so that he let none of his remaine.
Choncho Yehu anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Yezireeli, pamodzinso ndi akuluakulu ake onse, abwenzi ake ndiponso ansembe ake, sanasiyeko ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
12 And he arose, and departed and came to Samaria. And as Iehu was in the way by an house where the shepheards did shere,
Kenaka Yehu ananyamuka kupita ku Samariya. Atafika pa malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa,
13 He met with the brethre of Ahaziah king of Iudah, and sayd, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah, and goe downe to salute the children of the King and the children of the Queene.
Yehu anakumana ndi abale ena a Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu yani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndife abale ake a Ahaziya, ndipo tabwera kulonjera banja la mfumu ndi ana a mfumukazi.”
14 And he sayde, Take them aliue. And they tooke them aliue, and slew them at the well beside the house where the sheepe are shorne, euen two and fourtie men, and he left not one of them.
Yehu analamula kuti, “Atengeni amoyo!” Choncho anawatenga amoyo ndipo anakawaphera ku chitsime cha ku malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa; anthu onse 42. Iye sanasiyepo ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
15 And when he was departed thence, hee met with Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab comming to meete him, and he blessed him, and sayde to him, Is thine heart vpright, as mine heart is towarde thine? And Iehonadab answered, Yea, doubtlesse. Then giue me thine hande. And when he had giuen him his hande, he tooke him vp to him into the charet.
Yehu atachoka kumeneko anakumana ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, amene amabwera kudzakumana naye. Yehu anamulonjera nati kwa iye, “Kodi mtima wako uli bwino monga momwe mtima wanga ugwirizana nawo mtima wako?” Yehonadabu anayankha kuti, “Inde ndikugwirizana nawe.” Yehu anati, “Ngati ndi choncho, gwire dzanja.” Ndipo iye anaterodi, ndipo Yehu anamugwira dzanja namulowetsa mʼgaleta lake.
16 And he sayde, Come with me, and see the zeale that I haue for the Lord: so they made him ride in his charet.
Yehu anati, “Tiye kuno uwone mmene ndikudziperekera kwa Yehova.” Ndipo anayenda naye mʼgaleta mwake.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained vnto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake to Eliiah.
Yehu atafika ku Samariya, anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Samariya; anawawonongeratu potsata mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kudzera mwa Eliya.
18 Then Iehu assembled all the people, and sayd vnto them, Ahab serued Baal a litle, but Iehu shall serue him much more.
Ndipo Yehu anasonkhanitsa anthu onse pamodzi nawawuza kuti, “Ahabu ankatumikira Baala pangʼono chabe; Yehu adzamutumikira kwambiri.
19 Now therefore call vnto me all ye prophets of Baal, all his seruants, and all his priests, and let not a man be lacking: for I haue a great sacrifice for Baal: whosoeuer is lacking, he shall not liue. But Iehu did it by a subtiltie to destroy ye seruats of Baal.
Tsopano itanani aneneri a Baala onse, atumiki ake onse ndi ansembe ake onse. Pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wotsala chifukwa ine ndidzapereka nsembe yayikulu kwa Baala. Aliyense amene alephere kubwera adzaphedwa.” Koma Yehu anachita zimenezi mwachinyengo ndi cholinga choti awononge atumiki onse a Baala.
20 And Iehu sayd, Proclaime a solemne assemblie for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
Yehu anati, “Itanitsani msonkhano wodzalemekeza Baala.” Ndipo analengeza za msonkhanowo.
21 So Iehu sent vnto all Israel, and all the seruants of Baal came, and there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from ende to ende.
Pamenepo Yehu anatumiza mawu ku dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo atumiki onse a Baala anabwera; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsala. Iwo anadzaza nyumba ya Baala. Nyumbayo inadzaziratu kuchokera ku khoma lina mpaka ku khoma lina.
22 Then he said vnto him that had the charge of the vestrie, Bring forth vestments for al the seruants of Baal. And he brought the out vestments.
Ndipo Yehu anawuza munthu wosunga mikanjo kuti, “Bweretsa mikanjo yokwanira atumiki onse a Baala.” Ndipo iye anabweretsa mikanjoyo.
23 And when Iehu went, and Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab into the house of Baal, he sayde vnto the seruants of Baal, Searche diligently, and looke, lest there be here with you any of the seruants of the Lord, but the seruants of Baal only.
Kenaka Yehu ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu analowa mʼnyumba ya Baala. Yehu anawawuza atumiki a Baala kuti, “Yangʼanitsitsani ndipo muone kuti muno musapezeke atumiki a Yehova, koma mukhale atumiki okhawo a Baala.”
24 And when they went in to make sacrifice and burnt offering, Iehu appoynted foure score men without, and sayd, If any of the men whome I haue brought into your hands, escape, his soule shalbe for his soule.
Choncho Yehu analowa kukapereka nsembe zina ndi nsembe zopsereza. Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yehu atayika anthu 80 kunja kwa nyumbayo ndi chenjezo lakuti, “Ngati wina aliyense wa inu adzathawitsa wina aliyense wa anthu amene ndayika kuti muziwayangʼanira, munthu woteroyo adzaphedwa.”
25 And when hee had made an ende of the burnt offring, Iehu sayde to the garde, and to the captaines, Goe in, slay them, let not a man come out. And they smote them with the edge of the sworde. And the garde, and the captaines cast them out, and went vnto the citie, where was the temple of Baal.
Yehu atangotsiriza kupereka nsembe yopsereza, analamula alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo kuti, “Lowani ndipo mukawaphe ndipo musalole kuti wina athawe.” Choncho iwo anawapha ndi lupanga. Alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo anaponya mitembo ya anthuwo panja ndipo anakalowa mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyumba ya Baala.
26 And they brought out the images of the temple of Baal, and burnt them.
Iwo anakatulutsa mwala wopatulika umene unali mʼnyumba ya Baala ndipo anawutentha.
27 And they destroyed the image of Baal, and threwe downe the house of Baal, and made a iakes of it vnto this day.
Anawononga mwala wopatulika wa Baala ndi kugwetsa nyumba ya Baala, ndipo anthu anayisandutsa chimbudzi mpaka lero lino.
28 So Iehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Motero Yehu anawononga Baala mu Israeli.
29 But from the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat which made Israel to sinne, Iehu departed not from them, neither from the golden calues that were in Beth-el and that were in Dan.
Koma Yehuyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli kupembedza mafano a golide a ana angʼombe ku Beteli ndi ku Dani.
30 And the Lord sayde vnto Iehu, Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right in mine eyes, and hast done vnto the house of Ahab according to all things that were in mine heart, therefore shall thy sonnes vnto the fourth generation sit on the throne of Israel.
Yehova anati kwa Yehu, “Chifukwa wachita bwino pokwaniritsa kuchita zabwino pamaso panga ndipo wachitira banja la Ahabu zonse zimene zinali mʼmaganizo anga, zidzukulu zako zidzakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.”
31 But Iehu regarded not to walke in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for hee departed not from the sinnes of Ieroboam, which made Israel to sinne.
Komatu Yehu sanasamalire kusunga lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mtima wake wonse. Iyeyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
32 In those dayes the Lord began to lothe Israel, and Hazael smote them in all the coastes of Israel,
Masiku amenewo Yehova anayamba kuchepetsa dziko la Israeli. Hazaeli anagonjetsa Aisraeli,
33 From Iorden Eastward, euen all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and them that were of Manasseh, from Aroer (which is by the riuer Arnon) and Gilead and Bashan.
kuyambira kummawa kwa Yorodani, dziko lonse la Giliyadi (chigawo cha Gadi, Rubeni ndi Manase), kuchokera ku Aroeri pafupi ndi chigwa cha Arinoni kudutsa Giliyadi mpaka ku Basani.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehu, and all that he did, and all his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yehu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?
35 And Iehu slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in Samaria, and Iehoahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
Yehu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehowahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
36 And the time that Iehu reigned ouer Israel in Samaria is eight and twentie yeeres.
Yehu analamulira Aisraeli ku Samariya zaka 28.
