2 Kings 21
1 Twelve years old was Menasseh when he became king, and fifty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chephzi-bah.
Manase anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 55. Amayi ake anali Hefiziba.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, potsatira mchitidwe wonyansa wa mitundu imene Yehova anayipirikitsa pofika Aisraeli.
3 And he built up again the high-places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a grove, as Achab the king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of heaven, and served them.
Iyetu anamanganso malo opembedzera mafano amene Hezekiya abambo ake anawawononga. Anamangira Baala maguwa a nsembe ndi mtengo wa fano la Asera monga anachitira Ahabu mfumu ya Israeli ndipo ankapembedza zolengedwa zonse zamlengalenga.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Anamanga maguwa ansembewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova, mʼmene Yehova ananena kuti, “Mu Yerusalemu ndidzayikamo Dzina langa.”
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Mʼmabwalo onse awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova, Manase anamangamo maguwa opembedzerapo zinthu zamlengalenga.
6 And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much that is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Iye anapsereza mwana wake pa moto ngati nsembe, ankachita za matsenga, ankawombeza mawula, ankapita kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa ndiponso ankapembedza mizimu. Iyeyo anachita zoyipa zambiri pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anakwiyitsa Yehovayo.
7 And he set a hewn image of the Asherah that he had made in the house, of which the Lord had said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Iye anatenga fano losema la Asera limene analipanga ndi kuliyika mʼNyumba ya Yehova, Nyumba imene Yehova ananena kwa Davide ndi mwana wake Solomoni kuti, “Mʼnyumba iyi ndi mu Yerusalemu ndiwo malo amene ndasankha pakati pa mafuko onse a Aisraeli kuyikamo Dzina langa kwamuyaya.
8 And I will not cause any more the foot of Israel to move out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to act in accordance with all that I have commanded them, and in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
Sindidzalola kuti Aisraeli achotsedwe mʼdziko lawo limene ndinapatsa makolo awo ngati iwowo adzasamala kuchita zinthu zonse zimene ndinawalamula ndi kusunga malamulo onse amene mtumiki wanga Mose anawapatsa.”
9 But they hearkened not: and Menasseh seduced them to do what is evil more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Koma anthu sanamvere. Manase anawasocheretsa, kotero kuti anachita zoyipa zambiri kupambana anthu a mitundu ina amene Yehova anawawononga pamene Aisraeli ankafika.
10 And the Lord spoke by means of his servants the prophets, saying,
Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa atumiki ake, aneneri kuti,
11 Forasmuch as Menasseh the king of Judah hath done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all that the Emorites had done, who were before him, and hath induced Judah also to sin with his idols:
“Manase mfumu ya Yuda wachita machimo onyansawa ndipo wachita zoyipa kupambana Aamori amene analipo kale iye asanabadwe ndi kuchimwitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi mafano ake.
12 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Taonani, ndikubweretsa pa Yerusalemu ndi Yuda mavuto akuti aliyense amene adzawamve adzathedwa nzeru.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measure-line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achab: and I will wipe off Jerusalem as one wipeth off a dish, wiping it, and turning it on its face.
Ndidzalanga Yerusalemu ndi Yuda pogwiritsa ntchito muyeso umene ndinalangira Samariya ndi Ahabu pamodzi ndi nyumba yake. Ndidzayeretsa Yerusalemu monga mmene munthu amachitira popukuta mbale ndipo atayipukuta amayivundikira pansi.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and give them up into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Ndidzawataya anthu otsala amene ndi cholowa changa ndipo ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo. Adzachotsedwa ndipo adaniwo adzawalanda zinthu zonse
15 Forasmuch as they have done what is evil in my eyes, and have been provoking me to anger, from the day that their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
chifukwa anachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndipo akhala akundikwiyitsa kuchokera tsiku limene makolo awo anatuluka mu Igupto mpaka lero lino.’”
16 And also innocent blood did Menasseh shed in very great abundance, till he had filled [therewith] Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he induced Judah to sin, to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Kuwonjezera apo, Manase anakhetsa kwambiri magazi a anthu osalakwa mpaka magaziwo kuyenderera mu Yerusalemu kuyambira mbali ina mpaka mbali ina, kuphatikiza pa kuchimwitsa Yuda, kotero kuti anthu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Menasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Ntchito zina za Manase ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
18 And Menasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of 'Uzza: and Amon his son became king in his stead.
Manase anagona ndi makolo ake ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mʼmunda wa Uza, ku nyumba yaufumu. Ndipo Amoni mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
19 Twenty and two years old was Amon when he became king, and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Charuz of Yotbah.
Amoni anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 22 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka ziwiri. Amayi ake anali Mesulemeti mwana wa Haruzi, wochokera ku Yotiba.
20 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Menasseh had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Manase abambo ake.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself down to them;
Anatsatira makhalidwe onse a abambo ake. Ankapembedza mafano amene abambo akewo ankawapembedza ndipo ankawagwadira.
22 And he forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Iyeyo anasiya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo ake ndipo sanayende mʼnjira ya Yehova.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Nduna za Amoni zinamuchita chiwembu ndipo zinamupha mʼnyumba yake.
24 And the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Koma anthu a mʼdzikomo anapha onse amene anachitira chiwembu Mfumu Amoni, nayika Yosiya mwana wake kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Ntchito zina za Amoni ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of 'Uzza: and Josiah his son became king in his stead.
Iye anayikidwa mʼmanda ake mʼmunda wa Uza. Ndipo Yosiya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
