2 Kings 10
1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of the city, even the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying,
Tsono Ahabu anali ndi ana aamuna 70 a ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehu analemba makalata nawatumiza ku Samariya kwa atsogoleri a mu mzinda wa Yezireeli, kwa akuluakulu ndiponso kwa amene ankalera ana a Ahabu, nati,
2 "Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and weapons.
“Inu mukangolandira kalatayi, popeza ana a mbuye wanu ali ndi inu ndiponso muli ndi magaleta ndi akavalo, mzinda wotetezedwa ndi zida zankhondo,
3 Select the best and fittest of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house."
sankhani mwana wa mbuye wanu amene ndi wooneka bwino ndiponso woyenera, mulowetseni ufumu wa abambo ake. Kenaka muchite nkhondo kuteteza nyumba ya mbuye wanu.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, "Look, the two kings did not stand before him. How then shall we stand?"
Koma anthuwo anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo anati, “Taonani, mafumu awiri sanathe kulimbana naye, nanga ife tingathe bwanji?”
5 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, "We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes."
Choncho woyangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, bwanamkubwa wa mzinda, akuluakulu ena ndiponso olera anawo anatumiza uthenga uwu kwa Yehu: “Ife ndife atumiki anu ndipo tidzachita chilichonse chomwe mutiwuze. Sitidzasankha munthu wina aliyense kukhala mfumu ndipo chitani chimene mukuganiza kuti nʼchabwino kwa inu.”
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, "If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time." Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
Ndipo Yehu anawalembera kalata yachiwiri yonena kuti, “Ngati inu muli mbali yanga ndi kuti mudzandimvera, mudule mitu ya ana a mbuye wanu ndipo mubwere nayo kwa ine ku Yezireeli mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino.” Tsono ana a mfumu onse 70 anali pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a mu mzindamo, amene ankawalera.
7 It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
Kalatayo itafika, anthuwo anatenga ana a mfumu 70 aja ndi kuwapha onse. Anayika mitu yawo mʼmadengu ndi kuyitumiza ku Yezireeli kwa Yehu.
8 A messenger came, and told him, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons." He said, "Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning."
Mthenga uja atafika, anamuwuza Yehu kuti, “Abweretsa mitu ya ana a mfumu.” Ndipo Yehu analamula kuti, “Unjikani mituyo mʼmilu iwiri pa chipata cha mzinda ndipo ikhale pamenepo mpaka mmawa.”
9 It happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, "You are righteous. Look, I conspired against my master, and killed him; but who struck all these?
Mmawa mwake Yehu anatuluka. Iye anayimirira pamaso pa anthu onse ndipo anati, “Inu ndinu osalakwa. Ndine amene ndinachita chiwembu mbuye wanu ndi kumupha, koma kodi wapha anthu onsewa ndani?
10 Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of YHWH, which YHWH spoke concerning the house of Ahab. For YHWH has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah."
Koma dziwani tsono, kuti mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kunena za banja la Ahabu sadzapita padera. Yehova wachita chimene analonjeza kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Eliya.”
11 So Jehu struck all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
Choncho Yehu anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Yezireeli, pamodzinso ndi akuluakulu ake onse, abwenzi ake ndiponso ansembe ake, sanasiyeko ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
12 He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at Beth Eked of the Shepherds on the way,
Kenaka Yehu ananyamuka kupita ku Samariya. Atafika pa malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa,
13 Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, "Who are you?" They answered, "We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen."
Yehu anakumana ndi abale ena a Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu yani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndife abale ake a Ahaziya, ndipo tabwera kulonjera banja la mfumu ndi ana a mfumukazi.”
14 He said, "Take them alive." They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He did not leave any of them.
Yehu analamula kuti, “Atengeni amoyo!” Choncho anawatenga amoyo ndipo anakawaphera ku chitsime cha ku malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa; anthu onse 42. Iye sanasiyepo ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
15 When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?" Jehonadab answered, "It is." And he said, "If it is, give me your hand." He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Yehu atachoka kumeneko anakumana ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, amene amabwera kudzakumana naye. Yehu anamulonjera nati kwa iye, “Kodi mtima wako uli bwino monga momwe mtima wanga ugwirizana nawo mtima wako?” Yehonadabu anayankha kuti, “Inde ndikugwirizana nawe.” Yehu anati, “Ngati ndi choncho, gwire dzanja.” Ndipo iye anaterodi, ndipo Yehu anamugwira dzanja namulowetsa mʼgaleta lake.
16 He said, "Come with me, and see my zeal for YHWH." So he made him ride in his chariot.
Yehu anati, “Tiye kuno uwone mmene ndikudziperekera kwa Yehova.” Ndipo anayenda naye mʼgaleta mwake.
17 When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke to Elijah.
Yehu atafika ku Samariya, anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Samariya; anawawonongeratu potsata mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kudzera mwa Eliya.
18 Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, "Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.
Ndipo Yehu anasonkhanitsa anthu onse pamodzi nawawuza kuti, “Ahabu ankatumikira Baala pangʼono chabe; Yehu adzamutumikira kwambiri.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let none be absent; for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live." But Jehu did it in subtlety, intending that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Tsopano itanani aneneri a Baala onse, atumiki ake onse ndi ansembe ake onse. Pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wotsala chifukwa ine ndidzapereka nsembe yayikulu kwa Baala. Aliyense amene alephere kubwera adzaphedwa.” Koma Yehu anachita zimenezi mwachinyengo ndi cholinga choti awononge atumiki onse a Baala.
20 Jehu said, "Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal." They proclaimed it.
Yehu anati, “Itanitsani msonkhano wodzalemekeza Baala.” Ndipo analengeza za msonkhanowo.
21 Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that did not come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
Pamenepo Yehu anatumiza mawu ku dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo atumiki onse a Baala anabwera; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsala. Iwo anadzaza nyumba ya Baala. Nyumbayo inadzaziratu kuchokera ku khoma lina mpaka ku khoma lina.
22 He said to him who was over the vestry, "Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal." He brought robes out to them.
Ndipo Yehu anawuza munthu wosunga mikanjo kuti, “Bweretsa mikanjo yokwanira atumiki onse a Baala.” Ndipo iye anabweretsa mikanjoyo.
23 Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, "Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of YHWH, but the worshippers of Baal only."
Kenaka Yehu ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu analowa mʼnyumba ya Baala. Yehu anawawuza atumiki a Baala kuti, “Yangʼanitsitsani ndipo muone kuti muno musapezeke atumiki a Yehova, koma mukhale atumiki okhawo a Baala.”
24 They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him eighty men outside, and said, "If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him."
Choncho Yehu analowa kukapereka nsembe zina ndi nsembe zopsereza. Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yehu atayika anthu 80 kunja kwa nyumbayo ndi chenjezo lakuti, “Ngati wina aliyense wa inu adzathawitsa wina aliyense wa anthu amene ndayika kuti muziwayangʼanira, munthu woteroyo adzaphedwa.”
25 It happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, "Go in, and kill them. Let none escape." They struck them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
Yehu atangotsiriza kupereka nsembe yopsereza, analamula alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo kuti, “Lowani ndipo mukawaphe ndipo musalole kuti wina athawe.” Choncho iwo anawapha ndi lupanga. Alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo anaponya mitembo ya anthuwo panja ndipo anakalowa mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyumba ya Baala.
26 They brought out the pillar that was in the house of Baal, and burned it.
Iwo anakatulutsa mwala wopatulika umene unali mʼnyumba ya Baala ndipo anawutentha.
27 They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
Anawononga mwala wopatulika wa Baala ndi kugwetsa nyumba ya Baala, ndipo anthu anayisandutsa chimbudzi mpaka lero lino.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Motero Yehu anawononga Baala mu Israeli.
29 However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu did not depart from after them, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
Koma Yehuyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli kupembedza mafano a golide a ana angʼombe ku Beteli ndi ku Dani.
30 YHWH said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."
Yehova anati kwa Yehu, “Chifukwa wachita bwino pokwaniritsa kuchita zabwino pamaso panga ndipo wachitira banja la Ahabu zonse zimene zinali mʼmaganizo anga, zidzukulu zako zidzakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.”
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of YHWH, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
Komatu Yehu sanasamalire kusunga lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mtima wake wonse. Iyeyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
32 In those days YHWH began to cut off from Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel;
Masiku amenewo Yehova anayamba kuchepetsa dziko la Israeli. Hazaeli anagonjetsa Aisraeli,
33 from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
kuyambira kummawa kwa Yorodani, dziko lonse la Giliyadi (chigawo cha Gadi, Rubeni ndi Manase), kuchokera ku Aroeri pafupi ndi chigwa cha Arinoni kudutsa Giliyadi mpaka ku Basani.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ntchito zina za Yehu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?
35 Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
Yehu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehowahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Yehu analamulira Aisraeli ku Samariya zaka 28.
