< 2 Kings 17 >

1 In year two [plus] ten of Ahaz [the] king of Judah he became king Hoshea [the] son of Elah in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Mʼchaka cha 12 cha Ahazi mfumu ya Yuda, Hoseya mwana wa Ela anakhala mfumu ya Israeli mu Samariya ndipo analamulira zaka zisanu ndi zinayi.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, koma osafanana ndi mafumu a Israeli amene ankalamulira iye asanalowe ufumuwo.
3 On him he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria and he became of him Hoshea subject and he returned to him tribute.
Salimenezeri mfumu ya ku Asiriya anabwera kudzathira nkhondo Hoseya amene anali pansi pa ulamuliro wake ndipo ankapereka msonkho kwa iyeyo.
4 And he found [the] king of Assyria in Hoshea treason that he had sent messengers to So [the] king of Egypt and not he had brought up tribute to [the] king of Assyria as a year in a year and he arrested him [the] king of Assyria and he confined him [the] house of imprisonment.
Koma mfumu ya ku Asiriya inazindikira kuti Hoseya akuwukira, pakuti Hoseyayo anali atatumiza nthumwi kwa So mfumu ya Igupto ndiponso analeka kukhoma msonkho kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, monga ankachitira chaka ndi chaka. Choncho Salimenezeri anagwira Hoseya ndi kumuyika mʼndende.
5 And he came up [the] king of Assyria in all the land and he came up Samaria and he laid siege on it three years.
Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inapita kukathira nkhondo dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo inapita mpaka ku Samariya ndipo inazinga mzindawo kwa zaka zitatu.
6 In [the] year ninth of Hoshea he captured [the] king of Assyria Samaria and he took into exile Israel Assyria towards and he caused to dwell them in Halah and on [the] Habor [the] river of Gozan and [the] cities of Media.
Mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chinayi cha Hoseya, mfumu ya ku Asiriya inalanda Samariya ndipo inatenga Aisraeli ndi kupita nawo ku Asiriya. Anakawakhazika ku Hala ndi Habori mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Gozani ndi mʼmizinda ya Amedi.
7 And it was that they had sinned [the] people of Israel to Yahweh God their who had brought up them from [the] land of Egypt from under [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and they had feared gods other.
Zonsezi zinachitika chifukwa Aisraeli anachimwira Yehova Mulungu wawo, amene anawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto pansi pa ulamuliro wa Farao mfumu ya Igupto. Iwo ankapembedza milungu ina,
8 And they had walked in [the] customs of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel and [the] kings of Israel which they had done.
ndiponso ankatsatira miyambo ya anthu a mitundu imene Yehova anayichotsa pamene iwo ankafika mʼdzikomo pamodzinso ndi miyambo yonse imene mafumu a Israeli anayambitsa.
9 And they did secretly [the] people of Israel things which [were] not right on Yahweh God their and they built for themselves high places in all cities their from a tower of watchmen unto a city of fortification.
Ndipo Aisraeli ankachita zoyipa mwamseri kutsutsana ndi Yehova Mulungu wawo. Kuchokera ku nsanja ya alonda mpaka ku mzinda wotetezedwa, mʼmizinda yawo yonse anamangamo malo opembedzeramo mafano.
10 And they erected for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant.
Anayimika miyala ya chipembedzo ndi mitengo ya mafano a Asera pa phiri lililonse lalitali ndi pansi pa mtengo uliwonse wa masamba ambiri.
11 And they made smoke there at all [the] high places like the nations which he had taken into exile Yahweh from before them and they did things evil to provoke to anger Yahweh.
Pa malo aliwonse opembedzera mafano, anthuwa ankafukiza lubani monga momwe ankachitira anthu a mitundu imene Yehova anayichotsa pamene iwo ankafika. Iwo anachita zinthu zoyipa zomwe zinaputa mkwiyo wa Yehova.
12 And they served the idols which he had said Yahweh to them not you must do the thing this.
Ndipo iwowo ankapembedza mafano ngakhale Yehova ananena kuti, “Musadzachite zimenezi.”
13 And he warned Yahweh Israel and Judah by [the] hand of every ([the] prophets *Q(K)*) every seer saying turn back from ways your evil and keep commandments my statutes my according to all the law which I commanded ancestors your and which I sent to you by [the] hand of servants my the prophets.
Yehova anachenjeza Israeli ndi Yuda kudzera mwa aneneri ake onse ndi alosi kuti, “Lekani mchitidwe wanu woyipawo. Mverani malamulo anga ndi malangizo anga potsatira zonse zolembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose, zimene ndinalamulira makolo anu kuti azimvere, kudzera mwa aneneri, atumiki anga.”
14 And not they listened and they stiffened neck their like [the] neck of ancestors their who not they trusted in Yahweh God their.
Koma anthuwa sanamvere ndipo anawumitsa khosi ngati momwe analili makolo awo, amene sanadalire Yehova Mulungu wawo.
15 And they rejected statutes his and covenant his which he had made with ancestors their and testimonies his which he warned them and they walked after vanity and they became vain and after the nations which [were] around them which he had commanded Yahweh them to not to do like them.
Anakana malangizo ake ndi pangano anachita ndi makolo awo ndipo ananyoza zochenjeza za Yehova. Iwo anatsatira mafano achabechabe nasanduka achabechabe. Anthuwa anatsanzira mitundu ya anthu owazungulira ngakhale kuti Yehova anawalamula kuti, “Musamachite zomwe iwo amachita,” koma iwo anachita zomwe Yehova anawaletsa.
16 And they forsook all [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they made for themselves a molten image (two *Q(K)*) calves and they made an Asherah pole and they bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and they served Baal.
Iwowo anasiya malamulo onse a Yehova Mulungu wawo, nadzipangira mafano awiri osungunula a ana angʼombe ndiponso fano la Asera, napembedza zonse zamlengalenga ndi kutumikira Baala.
17 And they made pass sons their and daughters their in the fire and they divined divinations and they practiced divination and they sold themselves to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.
Ndipo anadutsitsa mʼmoto ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi. Iwo ankawombeza mawula, namachitanso zanyanga ndipo anadzipereka kuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova namukwiyitsa.
18 And he was angry Yahweh very with Israel and he removed them from on face his not anyone was left only [the] tribe of Judah to only it.
Choncho Yehova anakwiya nawo kwambiri Aisraeli ndipo anawachotsa pamaso pake. Palibe amene anatsala kupatula fuko la Yuda lokha.
19 Also Judah not it kept [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they walked in [the] customs of Israel which they had done.
Yuda nayenso sanasunge malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wawo. Iwo ankatsatira machitidwe amene Israeli anayambitsa.
20 And he rejected Yahweh all [the] offspring of Israel and he afflicted them and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers until that he threw them from before him.
Motero Yehova anakana Aisraeli onse. Iye anawazunza nawapereka mʼmanja mwa anthu ofunkha mpaka Iye atawachotseratu pamaso pake.
21 If he tore Israel from with [the] house of David and they made king Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat (and he enticed away *Q(K)*) Jeroboam Israel from after Yahweh and he caused to sin them a sin great.
Yehova atangʼamba Israeli kumuchotsa ku nyumba ya Davide, Aisraeliwo anasankha Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kukhala mfumu yawo. Yeroboamu ananyengerera Aisraeli kuti asatsatire Yehova ndipo anawachimwitsa tchimo lalikulu.
22 And they walked [the] people of Israel in all [the] sins of Jeroboam which he did not they turned aside from it.
Aisraeli anakakamira machimo onse amene Yeroboamu anachita ndipo sanawasiye
23 Until that he removed Yahweh Israel from on face his just as he had spoken by [the] hand of all servants his the prophets and it went into exile Israel from on land its Assyria towards until the day this.
mpaka pamene Yehova anawachotsa pamaso pake monga anawachenjezera kudzera mwa atumiki ake onse, aneneri. Choncho Aisraeli anachotsedwa mʼdziko lawo kupita ku ukapolo ku Asiriya ndipo ali komweko mpaka lero lino.
24 And he brought [people] [the] king of Assyria from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sepharvaim and he caused [them] to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria in place of [the] people of Israel and they took possession of Samaria and they dwelt in cities its.
Mfumu ya ku Asiriya inabweretsa anthu a ku Babuloni, Kuta, Awa, Hamati ndi a ku Sefaravaimu kudzawakhazika mʼmizinda ya Samariya kulowa mʼmalo mwa Aisraeli. Iwo anatenga Samariya ndi kukhala mʼmizinda yake.
25 And it was at [the] beginning of dwelling they there not they feared Yahweh and he sent Yahweh among them lions and they were killing in them.
Iwo atayamba kukhala kumeneko, sanapembedze Yehova choncho Yehova anatumiza mikango pakati pawo ndipo inapha ena mwa iwo.
26 And people said to [the] king of Assyria saying the nations which you took into exile and you caused to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria not they know [the] custom of [the] god of the land and he has sent among them lions and there they [are] killing them since not they [are] knowing [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Tsono mfumu ya ku Asiriya inawuzidwa za nkhaniyi kuti, “Anthu amene munawatumiza ndi kuwakhazika mʼmizinda ya Samariya sakudziwa chimene Mulungu wa dzikolo amafuna. Choncho Iye watumiza mikango pakati pawo imene ikuwapha chifukwa anthuwo sadziwa chimene Mulungu wa dzikolo amafuna.”
27 And he commanded [the] king of Assyria saying take there towards one from the priests whom you took into exile from there so they may go and they may dwell there so he may teach them [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
Tsono mfumu ya ku Asiriya inalamula kuti, “Tengani wansembe mmodzi mwa amene munawagwira ukapolo, mupite naye kumeneko ndipo akakhale komweko nakaphunzitse anthu zimene Mulungu wa dzikolo amafuna.”
28 And he went one from the priests whom they had taken into exile from Samaria and he dwelt in Beth-el and he was teaching them how? will they fear Yahweh.
Choncho mmodzi mwa ansembe amene anawatenga ku Samariya anabwera kudzakhala ku Beteli ndipo ankaphunzitsa anthuwo kupembedza Yehova.
29 And they were making nation nation own gods its and they placed [them] - in [the] house of the high places which they had made the Samaritans nation nation in own cities their where they [were] dwelling there.
Koma mtundu uliwonse wa anthu unkapangabe mafano a milungu yawoyawo mʼmizinda yambiri imene anthuwo ankakhala, ndipo anayika milunguyo mʼnyumba za milungu zimene anthu a ku Samariya anamanga ku malo opembedzera mafano.
30 And [the] people of Babylon they made Succoth Benoth and [the] people of Cuthah they made Nergal and [the] people of Hamath they made Ashima.
Anthu a ku Babuloni anapanga Sukoti-Benoti, anthu a ku Kuti anapanga Nerigali, ndipo anthu a ku Hamati anapanga Asima;
31 And the Avvites they made Nibhaz and Tartak and the Sepharvites [were] burning children their in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech ([the] gods of Sepharvaim. *Q(K)*)
Aava anapanga Nibihazi ndi Taritaki, ndipo Asefaravaimu ankawotcha ana awo pa moto ngati nsembe kwa Adirameleki ndi Anameleki, milungu ya Asefaravaimu.
32 And they were fearing Yahweh and they appointed for themselves from among themselves priests of [the] high places and they were offering for them in [the] house of the high places.
Iwo ankapembedza Yehova, koma ankadzisankhira okha pakati pawo anthu wamba kuti akhale ansembe awo ku nyumba za milungu za ku malo opembedzera mafano.
33 Yahweh they were fearing and own gods their they were serving according to [the] custom of the nations which they had taken into exile them from there.
Iwowo ankapembedza Yehova, komanso ankatumikira milungu yawo molingana ndi miyambo ya mitundu ya kumene ankachokera.
34 Until the day this they [are] doing according to the customs former not they [are] fearing Yahweh and not they [are] doing according to statutes their and according to judgment their and according to the law and according to the commandment which he commanded Yahweh [the] descendants of Jacob whom he made name his Israel.
Mpaka lero lino iwo akupitirizabe kuchita zimene ankachita poyamba. Sapembedza Yehova kapenanso kutsata malangizo ake ndi malamulo ake, chiphunzitso chake monga mwa malamulo amene Yehova anawapereka kwa zidzukulu za Yakobo, amene anamutcha Israeli.
35 And he made Yahweh with them a covenant and he commanded them saying not you must fear gods other and not you must bow down to them and not you must serve them and not you must sacrifice to them.
Pamene Yehova anachita pangano ndi Aisraeli, Iye anawalamula kuti, “Musapembedze milungu ina kapena kuyigwadira iyo, kuyitumikira kapena kupereka nsembe kwa iyoyo.
36 That except Yahweh who he brought up you from [the] land of Egypt with power great and by an arm outstretched him you will fear and to him you will bow down and to him you will sacrifice.
Koma Yehova amene anakutulutsani mʼdziko la Igupto ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu ndiye amene muyenera kumupembedza.
37 And the statutes and the judgments and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you you will take care! to do all the days and not you must fear gods other.
Muyenera kusamalitsa nthawi zonse kusunga malangizo anga ndi malemba anga, chiphunzitso ndi malamulo amene anakulemberani. Musapembedze milungu ina.
38 And the covenant which I made with you not you must forget and not you must fear gods other.
Musayiwale pangano limene ndinapangana nanu ndipo musamapembedze milungu ina.
39 That except Yahweh God your you will fear and he he will deliver you from [the] hand of all enemies your.
Mʼmalo mwake muzipembedza Yehova Mulungu wanu pakuti ndiye amene adzakulanditsani mʼdzanja la adani anu onse.”
40 And not they listened that except according to custom their former they [were] doing.
Komabe iwo sanamvere ndipo anapitiriza kuchita zomwe ankachita kale.
41 And they were - the nations these fearing Yahweh and idols their they were serving also children their - and [the] children of children their just as they did fathers their they [are] doing until the day this.
Ngakhale anthuwo ankapembedza Yehova, ankatumikiranso mafano awo. Mpaka lero lino ana awo ndi zidzukulu zawo zikupitiriza kuchita zomwe ankachita makolo awo.
