2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
Mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Yehowasi mwana wa Yowahazi mfumu ya Israeli, Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anayamba kulamulira.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Iye anali ndi zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 29. Amayi ake anali Yehoyadini wa ku Yerusalemu.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not like David his father; he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, koma osafanana ndi zomwe anachita Davide kholo lake. Iye anatsatira zochita zonse za Yowasi abambo ake.
4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places.
Komabe sanachotse malo opembedzerapo mafano. Anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father;
Atakhazikika mu ufumu wake, Amaziya anapha atumiki ake amene anapha abambo ake, mfumu ija.
6 but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded saying: 'The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.'
Komatu iye sanaphe ana a anthu amene anapha abambo ake potsatira zomwe zinalembedwa mʼbuku la Malamulo a Mose. Mʼmenemo Yehova analamula kuti, “Makolo asaphedwe chifukwa cha ana awo, ndipo ana asaphedwe chifukwa cha makolo awo, koma aliyense ayenera kufa chifukwa cha zolakwa zake.”
7 He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto this day.
Iye ndiye amene anapha Aedomu 10,000 mʼchigwa cha Mchere nalanda mzinda wa Sela pa nkhondo ndipo anawutcha Yokiteeli, dzina lake ndi lomwelo mpaka lero lino.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: 'Come, let us look one another in the face.'
Tsono Amaziya anatuma amithenga kwa Yehowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi, mwana wa Yehu mfumu ya Israeli ndi kumuopseza kuti, “Bwera tidzaonane maso ndi maso.”
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying: 'The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife; and there passed by the wild beasts that were in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.
Koma Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anabweza mawu kwa Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda kuti, “Mtengo wa minga wa ku Lebanoni unatumiza uthenga kwa mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni. ‘Patse mwana wako wamkazi kuti ndimukwatire.’ Kenaka chirombo cha ku Lebanoni chinabwera ndi kupondaponda mtengo wa mingawo.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and will thy heart lift thee up? glory therein, and remain at home; for why shouldest thou meddle with evil, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
Inde iwe wagonjetsa Edomu ndipo tsopano wayamba kudzikuza. Dzitamandire chifukwa cha kupambana kwako, koma khala kwanu konko! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuyamba dala mavuto amene adzakuwononga pamodzi ndi Yuda?”
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
Koma Amaziya sanamvere zimenezi. Choncho Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anakamuthira nkhondo. Yehowasi ndi Amaziya anakumana maso ndi maso ku Beti-Semesi mʼdziko la Yuda.
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
Israeli anagonjetsa Yuda ndipo munthu aliyense anathawira kwawo.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli anagwira Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, mwana wa Yowasi, mwana wa Ahaziya ku Beti-Semesi. Ndipo anapita ku Yerusalemu nakagwetsa khoma la Yerusalemu kuyambira ku Chipata cha Efereimu mpaka ku Chipata Chapangodya, gawo lotalika mamita 180.
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Iye anatenga golide ndi siliva yense pamodzi ndi ziwiya zonse zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi zimene zinali mosungira chuma cha nyumba ya mfumu. Iye anagwiranso anthu nabwerera ku Samariya.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yehowasi ndi zonse zimene anachita, kuwonjezera za nkhondo yake ndi Amaziya mfumu ya Yuda, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
Yehowasi anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Samariya pamodzi ndi mafumu a Israeli. Ndipo mwana wake Yeroboamu analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda anakhala zaka khumi ndi zisanu atamwalira Yehowasi mwana wa Yehowahazi mfumu ya Israeli.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Amaziya, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Anthu anapangana zomuchita chiwembu mu Yerusalemu ndipo Amaziya anathawira ku Lakisi, koma anatumiza anthu ku Lakisiko nakamuphera komweko.
20 And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Anabwera naye ku pa kavalo ku Yerusalemu ndi kumuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
Ndipo anthu onse a ku Yuda anatenga Azariya, amene anali ndi zaka 16 namulonga ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake Amaziya.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Azariya anamanga mzinda wa Elati ndi kuwubwezeretsa ku Yuda, Amaziya atamwalira.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chisanu cha Amaziya mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Yuda, Yeroboamu mwana wa Yehowasi mfumu ya Israeli analowa ufumu ku Samariya ndipo analamulira za 41.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo sanasiye machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
Iye ndi amene anabwezeretsanso malire a Israeli kuyambira ku Lebo Hamati mpaka ku Nyanja ya Araba, molingana ndi zimene ananena Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Yona mwana wa Amitai, mneneri wochokera ku Gati-Heferi.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel.
Pakuti Yehova anaona masautso a Israeli amene anali owawa kwambiri, panalibe kapolo kapena mfulu ngakhale wina aliyense amene akanathandiza Israeli.
27 And the LORD said not that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Pakuti Yehova anali asananene zofafaniza ufumu wa Israeli pa dziko lapansi, Iye anawapulumutsa kudzera mʼdzanja la Yeroboamu mwana wa Yowasi.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, for Judah in Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yeroboamu ndi zonse zimene anachita, za kupambana kwake pa nkhondo, za mmene anagonjetsera Damasiko ndi Hamati, imene inali mizinda ya Yuda, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
Yeroboamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi mafumu a Israeli. Ndipo Zekariya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
