2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, as his father David,
Ahazi anali ndi zaka makumi awiri pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16. Iye sanachite zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Davide kholo lake.
2 and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘alim,
Iye anayenda mʼnjira za mafumu a Israeli ndipo anawumbanso mafano a chipembedzo cha Abaala.
3 and has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
Iye amapsereza nsembe ku chigwa cha Hinomu, ndipo anaperekanso ana ake aamuna ngati nsembe yopsereza kutsatira njira zonyansa za mitundu imene Yehova anayithamangitsa pamaso pa Aisraeli.
4 and sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
Iyeyo ankapereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani pa malo opembedzerapo mafano, pamwamba pa mapiri ndi pansi pa mtengo uliwonse waukulu.
5 And his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Mulungu wake anamupereka mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya Aramu. Aaramu anamugonjetsa ndipo anagwira ukapolo anthu ake ambiri napita nawo ku Damasiko. Yehova anamuperekanso mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya Israeli, imene inamuzunza ndi kumuphera anthu ake ambiri.
6 And Pekah son of Remaliah slays one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day (the whole [are] sons of valor), because of their forsaking YHWH, God of their fathers.
Pa tsiku limodzi, Peka mwana wa Remaliya anapha asilikali 120,000 mu Yuda chifukwa Yuda anasiya Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo.
7 And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slays Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second to the king.
Zikiri msilikali wa ku Efereimu, anapha Maaseya mwana wa mfumu, Azirikamu woyangʼanira nyumba yaufumu, ndi Elikana wachiwiri kwa mfumu.
8 And the sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.
Aisraeli anagwira ukapolo abale awo, akazi, ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi okwanira 200,000. Iwo anafunkhanso katundu wambiri amene anapita naye ku Samariya.
9 And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to the heavens;
Koma kumeneko kunali mneneri wa Yehova dzina lake Odedi, ndipo anapita kukakumana ndi gulu lankhondo pamene linabwerera ku Samariya. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Chifukwa Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo anu anakwiyira Ayuda, Iye anawapereka mʼdzanja lanu. Koma inu mwawapha mwaukali, ukali wake wofika mpaka kumwamba.
10 and now you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
Ndipo tsopano mukufuna kuti amuna ndi akazi a ku Yuda ndi ku Yerusalemu akhale akapolo anu.
11 And now, hear me, and send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on you.”
Tsono mvereni! Abwezeni abale anu amene mwawagwira ukapolo, pakuti mkwiyo wa Yehova uli pa inu.”
12 And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
Tsono atsogoleri ena a ku Efereimu, Azariya mwana wa Yehohanani, Berekiya mwana wa Mesilemoti, Yehizikiya mwana wa Salumu, ndi Amasa mwana wa Hadilayi anatsutsana nawo amene ankachokera ku nkhondo kuja.
13 and say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.”
Iwo anati, “Musabweretse akapolowo kuno, pakuti ife tidzakhala olakwa pamaso pa Yehova. Kodi mukufuna kuwonjezera pa machimo athu ndi kulakwa kwathu? Pakuti zolakwa zathu ndi zambiri kale ndipo mkwiyo wake woopsa uli pa Israeli.”
14 And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
Kotero asilikali aja anawasiya akapolowo pamodzi ndi katundu amene analanda ku nkhondo pamaso pa akuluakulu ndi gulu lonse la anthu.
15 and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and return to Samaria.
Anthu amene atchulidwa mayina aja anatenga akapolowo, ndipo kuchokera pa zolanda ku nkhondo, anawaveka onse amene anali maliseche. Anawapatsa zovala ndi nsapato, chakudya ndi chakumwa ndi mankhwala. Onse amene anali ofowoka anawakweza pa abulu. Choncho anabwera nawo kwa abale awo ku Yeriko, Mzinda wa Migwalangwa, ndipo kenaka anawabweza ku Samariya.
16 At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
Pa nthawi imeneyo mfumu Ahazi inatumiza mawu kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya kupempha chithandizo.
17 and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
Ankhondo a ku Edomu anabweranso ndi kuthira nkhondo Yuda ndi kugwira akapolo.
18 And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,
Pamenepo nʼkuti Afilisti atathira nkhondo mizinda ya mʼmbali mwa phiri ndi ku Negevi ku Yuda. Iwo analanda mizindayo nakhala ku Beti-Semesi, Ayaloni ndi Gederoti, komanso Soko, Timna ndi Gimizo pamodzi ndi midzi yawo yozungulira.
19 for YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
Yehova anapeputsa Yuda chifukwa cha mfumu Ahazi ya Israeli, pakuti analimbikitsa zoyipa ku Yuda ndipo anali munthu wosakhulupirika kwambiri pamaso pa Yehova.
20 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
Tigilati-Pileseri mfumu ya ku Asiriya anabwera kwa iye, ndipo anabweretsa mavuto mʼmalo momuthandiza.
21 though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
Ahazi anatenga zinthu zochokera mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi mʼnyumba yaufumu ndi kwa atsogoleri ndipo anazipereka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, koma zimenezo sizinamuthandize.
22 And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
Pa nthawi yake yamavutoyi mfumu Ahazi inapitirira kukhalabe yosakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova.
23 and he sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.
Ahazi ankapereka nsembe kwa milungu ya ku Damasiko, imene inamugonjetsa. Iye ankaganiza kuti, “Popeza milungu ya mafumu a Aaramu yawathandiza, ine ndidzapereka nsembe kwa iyo kuti indithandize.” Koma iyoyo inakhala kugwa kwake ndi kugwa kwa Aisraeli onse.
24 And Ahaz gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in Jerusalem.
Ahazi anasonkhanitsa pamodzi zinthu zonse kuchokera mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anazitenga. Iye anatseka zitseko za Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anayimika maguwa ansembe pa ngodya iliyonse ya msewu mu Yerusalemu.
25 And in each and every city of Judah he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, God of his fathers.
Mu mzinda uliwonse wa Yuda anamangamo malo achipembedzo, operekerapo nsembe zopsereza kwa milungu ina ndipo anaputa mkwiyo wa Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo ake.
26 And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Zochitika zina pa ulamuliro wake ndi machitidwe ake onse, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka pa mapeto, zalembedwa mʼbuku la mafumu a Yuda ndi Israeli.
27 And Ahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
Ahazi anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mu mzinda wa Yerusalemu, koma sanamuyike mʼmanda a mafumu a Israeli. Ndipo Hezekiya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
