Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa kaJerobhowamu inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Azariya indodana ka-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
2 Nake aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Jekolia, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
Wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha yokuzalwa esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili. Ibizo likanina lalinguJekholiya; evela eJerusalema.
3 Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
Wenza ukulunga phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Amaziya.
4 No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona o na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela, azidilizwanga; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo kanye lokutshisela impepha kuzo.
5 Jehova nĩahũũrire mũthamaki na mangũ o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire, na aatũũrire nyũmba arĩ wiki. Jothamu mũrũ wa mũthamaki akĩrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agaathaga andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
UThixo wehlisela inkosi u-Azariya ubulephero eyabugula yaze yafa, njalo yayihlala yodwa endlini yayo. UJothamu indodana yakhe wayegcina isigodlo senkosi, ephethe labantu belizwe.
6 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Azaria, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Azariya, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
7 Azaria akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hakuhĩ nao itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jothamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
U-Azariya wafa walala kuboyise njalo wangcwatshwa phansi kwabo eMzini kaDavida. UJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
8 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Zekaria mũrũ wa Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩeri ĩtandatũ.
Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu leminyaka efica mibili ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uZakhariya indodana kaJerobhowamu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa okwezinyanga eziyisithupha.
9 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli mehie.
Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe ngoyise. Kazange atshiye izono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, yena owabangela ukuba u-Israyeli azenze.
10 Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi nĩaciirĩire gũũkĩrĩra Zekaria. Akĩmũtharĩkĩra mbere ya andũ, akĩmũũraga, nake agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi wenza amacebo okususa uZakhariya wamhlasela phambi kwabantu, wambulala wahle wathatha ubukhosi waba yinkosi.
11 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Zekaria, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaZakhariya zilotshwe egwalweni lwembali yombuso wamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩirio Jehu nĩkĩahingire, kĩrĩa kĩoigĩte atĩrĩ: “Njiaro ciaku nĩigaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wa Isiraeli nginya rũciaro rwa kana.”
Ngakho kwagcwaliseka ilizwi likaThixo kuJehu elathi: “Abendlu yakho bazabusa u-Israyeli kuze kube yisizukulwane sesine.”
13 Na rĩrĩ, Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi aatuĩkire mũthamaki mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa ũthamaki wa Uzia mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamaka mweri ũmwe kũu Samaria.
UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi waba yinkosi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesificamunwemunye ka-Uziya inkosi yakoJuda, yena wabusa eSamariya okwenyanga eyodwa.
14 Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi akiuma Tiriza, agĩthiĩ Samaria. Agĩtharĩkĩra Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi kũu Samaria, akĩmũũraga, na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Ngakho uMenahemu indodana kaGadi wehla esuka eThiza esiya eSamariya. Wahlasela uShalumi indodana kaJabheshi eSamariya, wambulala wasethatha ubukhosi.

Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaShalumi, lamacebo okuhlamuka lawokukhokhela kwakhe, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Menahemu, arutĩtie Tiriza agĩtharĩkĩra Tifisa, na akĩũraga mũndũ wothe warĩ itũũra, rĩu inene thĩinĩ o na arĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ narĩo, tondũ nĩmaregire kũhingũra ihingo ciao. Akĩhũũra Tifisa, na agĩtarũra nda cia andũ-a-nja arĩa maarĩ na nda.
Ngalesosikhathi uMenahemu, wathi esuka eThiza wahlasela uThifisa laye wonke umuntu owatholakala esedolobheni lababeseduzane lalo, ngoba bala ukuvula amasango abo. Wasuka uThifisa waqhaqha wonke amanina ayezithwele.
17 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na agĩthamaka Samaria mĩaka ikũmi.

19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Puli mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũcio, nake Menahemu akĩmũhe taranda ngiri ĩmwe cia betha nĩguo amũteithĩrĩrie kũrũmia ũthamaki wake wega.
Ngakho uPhuli inkosi yase-Asiriya wahlasela ilizwe, njalo uMenahemu wamnika amathalenta esiliva ayinkulungwane ukuze azuze ukusekelwa lokuqinisa umbuso wakhe.
20 Menahemu agĩĩtia mbeeca icio na hinya kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli. Mũndũ o wothe gĩtonga aarĩ arute cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha, nĩguo iheo mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Ashuri akĩehera, na ndaikarire bũrũri ũcio rĩngĩ.
UMenahemu wathelisa bonke abako-Israyeli. Wonke umuntu onothileyo kwakumele athele ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amahlanu ukuze aphiwe inkosi yase-Asiriya. Ngakho inkosi yase-Asiriya yasuka elizweni, ayizange ibe isahlala khona.
21 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Menahemu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?

24 Pekaia agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
