1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
Pa nthawi imeneyo Abiya mwana wa Yeroboamu anayamba kudwala,
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Look, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.
ndipo Yeroboamu anati kwa mkazi wake, “Nyamuka ndipo udzibise kuti usadziwike kuti ndiwe mkazi wa Yeroboamu, ndipo upite ku Silo. Kumeneko kuli mneneri Ahiya amene anandiwuza kuti ndidzakhala mfumu ya anthu awa.
3 Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child."
Utenge buledi khumi, makeke ndiponso botolo la uchi ndipo upite kwa mneneriyo. Iye adzakuwuza zimene zidzamuchitikire mwanayu.”
4 Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
Choncho mkazi wa Yeroboamu anadzibisa ndipo anapita ku nyumba ya Ahiya ku Silo. Tsono Ahiya sankatha kupenya bwino. Ankangoona kuti mbuu chifukwa cha ukalamba.
5 YHWH said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."
Koma Yehova nʼkuti atamuwuza Ahiya kuti, “Taona, mkazi wa Yeroboamu akubwera kudzafunsa iwe za mwana wake pakuti akudwala, ndiye udzamuyankhe zakutizakuti mkaziyo. Iye akafika, adzadzibisa.”
6 It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, "Come in, you wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
Tsono Ahiya atamva mgugu wa mapazi ake pa khomo, anati, “Lowa, iwe mkazi wa Yeroboamu. Bwanji ukudzibisa? Ine ndatumidwa kuti ndikuwuze nkhani yoyipa.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
Pita, kamuwuze Yeroboamu kuti Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ine ndinakukweza pakati pa anthu ndipo ndinakuyika kukhala mtsogoleri wa anthu anga Aisraeli.
8 and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,
Ndinachotsa ufumu ku nyumba ya Davide ndi kuwupereka kwa iwe, koma iwe sunafanane ndi mtumiki wanga Davide, amene ankasunga malamulo anga ndi kunditsata Ine ndi mtima wake wonse, kuchita zolungama zokhazokha pamaso panga.
9 but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:
Ndipo iwe wachita zoyipa kupambana onse amene analipo kale. Wadzipangira milungu ina, mafano a zitsulo. Iweyo wandikwiyitsa ndipo wandiwukira.
10 therefore, look, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.
“‘Choncho taona, ndidzabweretsa masautso pa nyumba ya Yeroboamu. Ndipo ndidzawononga munthu wamwamuna aliyense wa pa banja lako, kapolo pamodzi ndi mfulu yemwe mʼdziko la Israeli. Ndidzatentha nyumba ya Yeroboamu monga mmene munthu amatenthera ndowe mpaka yonse kutheratu.
11 He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for YHWH has spoken it."'
Agalu adzadya aliyense wa banja la Yeroboamu amene adzafere mu mzinda, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zidzadya iwo amene adzafere ku thengo, pakuti Yehova watero!’
12 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
“Ndipo iwe nyamuka, bwerera ku nyumba kwako. Phazi lako likadzangoponda mu mzindamo, mwanayo adzamwalira.
13 All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward YHWH, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
Aisraeli onse adzalira maliro ake ndi kumuyika mʼmanda. Ndi yekhayo wa banja la Yeroboamu amene adzayikidwe mʼmanda, pakuti ndi mwa iye yekha mmene Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli wapezamo kanthu kabwino.
14 Moreover YHWH will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day. What? Even now.
“Koma Yehova adzadzisankhira yekha mfumu yolamulira Israeli imene idzawononga banja la Yeroboamu. Tsiku lake ndi lero! Ndati chiyani? Inde, ndi lero lomwe lino.
15 For YHWH will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking YHWH to anger.
Ndipo Yehova adzakantha Israeli, kotero kuti adzakhala ngati bango logwedera pa madzi. Iye adzazula Israeli mʼdziko labwino limene analipereka kwa makolo ake ndi kuwamwazira kutsidya kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate, chifukwa anakwiyitsa Yehova pamene anapanga mafano a Asera.
16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin."
Ndipo Iye sadzasamalanso Israeli chifukwa cha machimo amene anachita Yeroboamu ndi kuchimwitsa nawo Israeli.”
17 Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
Tsono mkazi wa Yeroboamu anayimirira nachoka kupita ku Tiriza. Atangoponda pa khonde la nyumba yake, mwana uja anamwalira.
18 All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Aisraeli anamuyika mʼmanda, ndipo onse analira maliro ake, monga momwe Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa mtumiki wake, mneneri Ahiya.
19 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, look, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Ntchito zina pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yeroboamu, nkhondo zake ndi mmene ankalamulirira zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli.
20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
Iye analamulira zaka 22 ndipo anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Nadabu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
21 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Rehobowamu mwana wa Solomoni anali mfumu ya ku Yuda. Iye analowa ufumu ali ndi zaka 41, ndipo analamulira zaka 17 ku Yerusalemu, mzinda umene Yehova anawusankha pakati pa mafuko a Israeli kuti ayikemo Dzina lake. Amayi ake anali Naama, wa ku Amoni.
22 Judah did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
Anthu a ku Yuda anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova kupambana mmene anachitira makolo awo ndipo Yehova anawakwiyira.
23 For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
Iwonso anadzipangira malo opembedzerapo mafano pa chitunda chilichonse ndi kuyimika miyala ya chipembedzo ndi mitengo ya Asera pa mtengo uliwonse wa masamba ambiri.
24 and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which YHWH drove out before the children of Israel.
Mʼdzikomo munalinso amuna ochita zachiwerewere mwa chipembedzo. Anthu ankachita zonyansa zonse za anthu a mitundu ina imene Yehova anayipirikitsa asanafike Aisraeli.
25 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
Chaka chachisanu cha ufumu wa Rehobowamu, Sisaki, mfumu ya Igupto, anadzathira nkhondo Yerusalemu.
26 and he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
Ananyamula chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Yehova ndiponso chuma cha ku nyumba ya mfumu. Anatenga chilichonse, ngakhalenso zishango zonse zagolide zimene Solomoni anapanga.
27 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
Ndipo Mfumu Rehobowamu anapanga zishango zamkuwa mʼmalo mwake, nazipereka mʼmanja mwa olamulira alonda a pa khomo pa nyumba ya mfumu.
28 It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of YHWH, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
Nthawi zonse mfumu ikamapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova, alonda ankanyamula zishangozo, kenaka ankazisunga mʼchipinda cha alonda.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Tsono ntchito zina za Rehobowamu ndi zina zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Panali nkhondo zosalekeza pakati pa Rehobowamu ndi Yeroboamu.
31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
Ndipo Rehobowamu anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide. Amayi ake anali Naama wa ku Amoni. Ndipo Abiya analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwa abambo ake.
