2 Makoronike 28
1 Ahazi aiva namakore makumi maviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore gumi namatanhatu. Haana kufanana naDhavhidhi baba vake, haana kuita zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha.
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,
2 Akafamba nomunzira dzamadzimambo eIsraeri akagadzirawo zvifananidzo zvokunamatisa vaBhaari.
and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘alim,
3 Akapisa zvipiriso zvinopiswa mumupata weBheni Hinomi akabayira vanakomana vake mumoto, achitevedzera nzira dzinonyangadza dzendudzi dzakanga dzadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavaIsraeri.
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,
4 Akapa zvibayiro uye akapisira zvinonhuhwira panzvimbo dzakakwirira, pamusoro pezvikomo napasi pomuti wose wakapfumvutira.
and sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.
5 Naizvozvo Jehovha Mwari wake akamuisa mumaoko amambo weAramu. VaAramu vakamukunda uye vakatora vanhu vake vazhinji senhapwa vakauya navo kuDhamasiko. Akaiswawo mumaoko amambo weIsraeri uyo akauraya vanhu vazhinji kwazvo.
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.
6 Pazuva rimwe chete, Peka mwanakomana waRemaria akauraya varwi zviuru zana namakumi maviri muJudha, nokuti Judha yakanga yarasa Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo.
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.
7 Zikiri murwi wokuEfuremu, akauraya Maaseya mwanakomana wamambo, Azirikami mutariri mukuru womuzinda naErikana, mutevedzeri wamambo.
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.
8 VaIsraeri vakatapa kubva kuhama dzavo vakadzi navanakomana navanasikana zviuru mazana maviri. Vakapambawo zvinhu zvakawanda, zvavakatakura vakadzokera nazvo kuSamaria.
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.
9 Asi muprofita waJehovha ainzi Odhedhi akanga aripo, uye akabuda kundosangana nehondo payakadzoka kubva kuSamaria. Akati kwavari, “Nokuti Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba enyu akanga atsamwira Judha, akavaisa muruoko rwenyu. Asi mavauraya nehasha dzinosvika kudenga.
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;
10 Uye zvino mava kuda kuita varume navakadzi veJudha neJerusarema nhapwa dzenyu. Asi imiwo hamuna here mhosva dzezvivi zvamakaitira Jehovha Mwari wenyu?
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?
11 Zvino chiteererai kwandiri! Dzorerai kwakare hama dzenyu dzamatora savasungwa, nokuti kutsamwa kwaMwari kunotyisa kuri pamusoro penyu.”
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.”
12 Ipapo vamwe vatungamiri vemuEfuremu vaiti Azaria, mwanakomana waJehohanani, Bherekia mwanakomana waMeshiremoti, Jehizikia mwanakomana waSharumi naAmasa mwanakomana waHadhirai, vakandotongesa avo vakanga vachisvika vachibva kuhondo.
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,
13 Vakati, “Hamufaniri kuuyisa vasungwa ivavo kuno kuti tirege kuva nemhosva pamberi paJehovha. Munoda kuwedzera here pamusoro pechivi chedu nemhosva yedu? Nokuti mhosva yedu yatokura kare, uye kutsamwa kwake kunotyisa kwava pamusoro peIsraeri.”
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.”
14 Saka varwi vakasiya vasungwa nezvose zvavakanga vapamba pamberi pavakuru neungano yose.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
15 Varume varehwa namazita avo vakatora vasungwa uye kubva pane zvavakanga vapamba vakapfekedza vakanga vakashama. Vakavapa nguo neshangu, zvokudya nezvokunwa, uye namafuta okuporesa. Avo vose vakanga vasina simba vakavakwidza pambongoro. Saizvozvo vakavadzorera kunyika yavo kuJeriko, muGuta reMichindwe uye vakadzokera kuSamaria.
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.
16 Panguva iyoyo mambo Ahazi akatsvaka rubatsiro kubva kuna mambo weAsiria.
At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 VaEdhomu vakanga vauyazve vakarwisa Judha uye vakaenda navasungwa.
and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
18 Panguva imwe cheteyo vaFiristia vakanga vapamba maguta omujinga mezvikomo nomuNegevhi yeJudha. Vakatora uye vakagara muBheti Shemeshi, Aijaroni neGedheroti pamwe chete neSoko, Timina neGimizo nemisha yawo yose yakaapoteredza.
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,
19 Jehovha akaninipisa Judha nokuda kwaAhazi mambo weIsraeri, nokuti akanga akurudzira zvakaipa muJudha uye akanga anyanya kusatendeka kuna Jehovha.
for YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
20 Tigirati-Pireseri mambo weAsiria akauya kwaari, asi akamupa matambudziko pano kuti amubatsire.
And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
21 Ahazi akatora zvimwe zvezvinhu zvaiva mutemberi yaJehovha, uye kubva mumuzinda wamambo nokumachinda amambo, akazvipa kuna mambo weAsiria, asi izvi hazvina kumubatsira.
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.
22 Munguva yake yokutambudzika mambo Ahazi akatonyanya kusatendeka kuna Jehovha.
And in the time of his distress—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this King Ahaz),
23 Akapa zvibayiro kuna vamwari veDhamasiko vakanga vamukunda; nokuti akafunga akati, “Sezvo vamwari vemadzimambo eAramu vakavabatsira ini ndichapa zvibayiro kwavari kuti vangondibatsira.” Asi ndivo vakava kuwa kwake nokweIsraeri yose.
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.
24 Ahazi akaunganidza midziyo yose yomutemberi akaitakura akaenda nayo. Akapfiga masuo etemberi yaJehovha akagadzira aritari pamakona ose emigwagwa yeJerusarema.
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.
25 Muguta rimwe nerimwe reJudha akavaka nzvimbo dzakakwirira kuti agopisira zvipiriso kuna vamwe vamwari uye zvikamutsa kutsamwa kwaJehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba ake.
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.
26 Zvimwe zvaakaita pamazuva okutonga kwake nenzira dzake dzose kubva pakutanga kusvikira pakupedzisira zvakanyorwa mubhuku ramadzimambo eJudha neIsraeri.
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.
27 Ahazi akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muguta reJerusarema, asi haana kuradzikwa mumakuva amadzimambo eIsraeri. Uye Hezekia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
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.
