2 Kings 8
1 Then spake Elisha vnto the woman, whose sonne he had restored to life, saying, Vp, and goe, thou, and thine house, and soiourne where thou canst soiourne: for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it commeth also vpon the land seuen yeeres.
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 the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God, and went both shee and her housholde and soiourned in the lande of the Philistims seuen yeeres.
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 at the seuen yeeres ende, the woman returned out of the lande of the Philistims, and went out to call vpon the King for her house and for her land.
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 Gehazi the seruant of the man of God, saying, Tell mee, I pray thee, all the great actes, that Elisha hath done.
Ndipo mfumu inkayankhula ndi Gehazi, mtumiki wa munthu wa Mulungu kuti, “Tandiwuza zinthu zikuluzikulu zimene Elisa wachita.”
5 And as he told the King, howe he had restored one dead to life, behold, the woman, whose sonne he had raised to life, called vpon the King for her house and for her land. Then Gehazi sayd, My lorde, O King, this is the woman, and this is her sonne, whom Elisha restored 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 when the King asked the woman, shee told him: so the King appoynted her an Eunuch, saying, Restore thou all that are hers, and all the fruites of her landes since the day shee left the land, euen vntill this time.
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 Then Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-hadad the King of Aram was sicke, and one 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 sayd vnto Hazael, Take a present in thine hande, and goe meete the man of God, that thou mayest inquire of ye Lord by him, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
inawuza Hazaeli kuti, “Tenga mphatso ndipo pita ukakumane ndi munthu wa Mulungu. Ukandifunsire kwa Yehova kudzera mwa iye kuti, ‘Kodi ndidzachira matenda angawa?’”
9 So Hazael went to meete him, and tooke the present in his hand, and of euery good thing of Damascus, euen the burden of fourtie camels, and came and stood before him, and sayde, Thy sonne Ben-hadad King of Aram hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
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 Elisha sayd to him, Goe, and say vnto him, Thou shalt recouer: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me, that he shall surely dye.
Elisa anayankha kuti, “Pita ndipo ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Udzachira ndithu,’ koma Yehova wandionetsa kuti adzafabe.”
11 And hee looked vpon him stedfastly, till Hazael was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
Elisa anamuyangʼana kwambiri Hazaeli mpaka anachita manyazi. Pamenepo munthu wa Mulungu anayamba kulira.
12 And Hazael sayde, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I knowe the euill that thou shalt do vnto the children of Israel: for their strong cities shalt thou set on fire, and their yong men shalt thou slay with the sworde, and shalt dash their infantes against the stones, and rent in pieces their women with child.
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 Then Hazael said, What? is thy seruant a dog, that I should doe this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed mee, that thou shalt be King of Aram.
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 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What saide Elisha to thee? And he answered, Hee tolde mee that thou shouldest recouer.
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 morow he tooke a thick cloth and dipt in it water, and spread it on his face, and hee dyed: 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 Now in the fift yere of Ioram ye sonne of Ahab King of Israel, and of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah began to reigne.
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 thirtie yere olde, when he began to reigne: and hee reigned eight yeere in Ierusalem.
Yehoramu analowa ufumu ali ndi zaka 32, ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka zisanu ndi zitatu.
18 And hee walked in the wayes of the Kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife, and hee did euill 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 Yet the Lord would not destroy Iudah, for Dauid his seruants sake, as he had promised him to giue him a light, and to his children for euer.
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 those dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer themselues.
Pa nthawi ya Yehoramu, Edomu anawukira ulamuliro wa Yuda ndipo anadzisankhira mfumu.
21 Therefore Ioram went to Zair, and all his charets with him, and he arose by night, and smote the Edomites which were about him with the captains of the charets, and 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 rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. then Libnah rebelled at that same time.
Mpaka lero lino Edomu ndi wowukira Yuda. Nthawi yomweyo mzinda wa Libina unawukiranso.
23 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioram and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Ndipo ntchito zina za Yehoramu ndi zonse zomwe anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
24 And Ioram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid. And Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his 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 twelft yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel did Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah begin to reigne.
Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri cha Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfumu ya Israeli, Ahaziya mwana wa Yehoramu mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
26 Two and twentie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri 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 way of the house of Ahab, and did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for hee was the sonne in law of the house of Ahab.
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 And he went with Ioram the sonne of Ahab to warre against Hazael King of Aram in Ramoth Gilead, and the Aramites smote Ioram.
Ahaziya anapita pamodzi ndi Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu kukachita nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu ku Ramoti Giliyadi. Aaramu anavulaza Yoramu.
29 And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the wounds which ye Aramites had giuen him at Ramah, whe he fought against Hazael King of Aram. And Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Ioram the sonne of Ahab in Izreel, because he was sicke.
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.
