2 Madzimambo 14
1 Mugore rechipiri raJehoashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi mambo weIsraeri, Amazia mwanakomana waJoashi mambo weJudha akatanga kutonga.
Amaziah, son of Joash, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
2 Akanga ava namakore makumi maviri namashanu paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi maviri namapfumbamwe. Zita ramai vake rainzi Jehoadhini vakanga vachibva muJerusarema.
He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 Akaita zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha, asi kwete sezvakaitwa nababa vake Dhavhidhi. Pazvinhu zvose akatevera muenzaniso wababa vake Joashi.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, but not in the same way as his forefather David had. He did everything just as his father Joash had done.
4 Kunyange zvakadaro matunhu akakwirira haana kubviswa, vanhu vakaramba vachipa zvibayiro nokupisa zvinonhuhwira ikoko.
But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burn offerings in those places.
5 Mushure mokunge umambo hwanyatsosimba mumaoko ake, akauraya vabati vaya vakauraya baba vake iye mambo.
Once he was secure on the throne he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
6 Asi haana kuuraya vanakomana vavaurayi, sezvazvakanyorwa mubhuku romurayiro waMozisi sezvakarayira Jehovha paakati, “Madzibaba haazourayiwi nokuda kwavana vavo, uye vana havaurayiwi nokuda kwamadzibaba avo mumwe nomumwe anofanira kufira zvivi zvake.”
But he did not execute the murderers' children, following the Lord's command in the law of Moses that “Fathers must not be put to death for their children's sins, and children must not be put to death for their father's sins. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
7 Ndiye akakunda gumi rezviuru zvavaEdhomu muMupata woMunyu uye akapamba Sera muhondo, akaritumidza kuti Jokiteeri, rinova zita raro kusvikira nhasi.
Amaziah killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He attacked and captured Sela and renamed it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this very day.
8 Ipapo Amazia akatuma nhume kuna Jehoashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi, mwanakomana waJehu, mambo weIsraeri, akati, “Uya tionane.”
Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, telling him, “Let's fight, face to face!”
9 Asi Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akapindura Amazia mambo weJudha akati, “Rukato rwomuRebhanoni rwakatuma nhume kumusidhari womuRebhanoni, rukati, ‘Ipa mwanasikana wako kuti awanikwe nomwanakomana wangu.’ Ipapo mhuka yesango yomuRebhanoni yakauyapo ikatsika-tsika rukato netsoka dzayo.
Jehoash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah: “In Lebanon a thistle sent a message to a cedar, saying, ‘Give your daughter as a wife to my son.’ But a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thistle.
10 Zvirokwazvo wakakunda Edhomu asi zvino wava kuzvikudza. Zvirumbidze hako pakukunda kwako, asi ugare kumba! Seiko wava kutsvaka bongozozo kuti uzviwisire pasi iwe pamwe chete neJudha?”
You may indeed have defeated Edom. Now you've become arrogant. Stay home and enjoy your victory! Why provoke trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
11 Kunyange zvakadaro, Amazia haana kuda kuteerera, naizvozvo Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akamurwisa. Iye naAmazia mambo weJudha vakasangana paBheti Shemeshi muJudha.
But Amaziah refused to listen, so Jehoash, king of Israel, came to attack him. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
12 VaJudha vakakundwa navaIsraeri, murume mumwe nomumwe akatizira kumusha kwake.
The army of Judah was defeated by Israel, and ran away home.
13 Jehoashi mambo weIsraeri akabata Amazia mambo weJudha, mwanakomana waJoashi, mwanakomana waAhazia, paBheti Shemeshi. Ipapo Jehoashi akaenda kuJerusarema akandoputsa rusvingo rweJerusarema kubva kuSuo raEfuremu kusvikira paSuo repaKona chikamu chinosvika makubhiti mazana mana.
Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash attacked Jerusalem and knocked down the city wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, about four hundred cubits in length.
14 Akatora goridhe rose nesirivha yose nemidziyo yose yakawanikwa iri mutemberi yaJehovha nomumatura omumuzinda wamambo. Akatorawo vasungwa ndokubva adzokera kuSamaria.
He removed all the gold and silver, and all the items found in the Lord's Temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace, and also some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.
15 Zvino zvimwe zvokutonga kwaJehoashi, nezvaakaita uye kubudirira kwake, pamwe nokurwa kwake naAmazia mambo weJudha, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eIsraeri?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements and his war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
16 Jehoashi akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muSamaria pamwe chete namadzimambo eIsraeri. Jerobhoamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
17 Amazia mwanakomana waJoashi mambo weJudha akararama kwamakore gumi namashanu mushure mokufa kwaJehoashi mwanakomana waJehoahazi mambo weIsraeri.
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen more years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
18 Zvino zvimwe zvakaitwa pakutonga kwaAmazia, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
The rest of the events that happened in Amaziah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
19 Vakaita rangano yakaipa pamusoro pake muJerusarema, iye akatizira kuRakishi, asi vakatuma varume vakamutevera kuRakishi vakamuurayira ikoko.
A conspiracy against Amaziah took place in Jerusalem, and he ran away to Lachish. But men were sent after him and they murdered him there.
20 Akadzoswa namabhiza vakamuviga muJerusarema pamwe chete namadzibaba ake, muGuta raDhavhidhi.
They brought him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his forefathers in the City of David.
21 Ipapo vanhu vose veJudha vakatora Azaria, akanga ane makore gumi namatanhatu, vakamuita mambo panzvimbo yababa vake Amazia.
Then all the people of Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king to replace his father. Azariah was sixteen years old.
22 Ndiye akavakazve Erati akaridzorera kuna Judha mushure mokunge Amazia azorora namadzibaba ake.
Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.
23 Mugore regumi namashanu raAmazia mwanakomana waJoashi mambo weJudha, Jerobhoamu mwanakomana waJehoashi mambo weIsraeri akava mambo muSamaria, akatonga kwamakore makumi mana negore rimwe.
Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha akasatendeuka kubva kana pane chimwe chezvivi zvaJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati, zvaakaita kuti Israeri iite.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
25 Ndiye akadzikazve miganhu yeIsraeri kubva paRebho Hamati kusvika kuGungwa reArabha, sezvakarehwa neshoko raJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, rakataurwa kubudikidza nomuranda wake Jona mwanakomana waAmutai, muprofita wokuGati Hefa.
He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.
26 Nokuti Jehovha akanga aona kuti vanhu vose muIsraeri vaitambudzika zvakanyanya sei, vose nhapwa navakasununguka; pakanga pasina angabatsira.
The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.
27 Uye sezvo Jehovha akanga asina kumboti aizodzima zita raIsraeri kubva pasi pedenga, akavaponesa noruoko rwaJerobhoamu mwanakomana waJehoashi.
However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.
28 Zvino zvimwe zvakaitwa pakutonga kwaJerobhoamu, nezvose zvaakaita, nokukunda kwake pakurwa, pamwe nokuti akadzorera sei Dhamasiko neHamati kuIsraeri, aimbova maguta eJudha, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eIsraeri?
The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
29 Jerobhoamu akazorora namadzibaba ake, madzimambo eIsraeri. Zekaria mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
Jeroboam died and was buried with the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
