2 Madzimambo 15

1 Mugore ramakumi maviri namanomwe raJerobhoamu mambo weIsraeri, Azaria mwanakomana waAmazia mambo weJudha akatanga kutonga.

In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel: Azariah, the son of Amaziah, reigned as king of Judah.

2 Akanga ava namakore gumi namatanhatu paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mashanu namaviri. Zita ramai vake rainzi Jekoria; vaibva muJerusarema.

He was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Akaita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaitwa nababa vake Amazia.

And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.

4 Kunyange zvakadaro, matunhu akakwirira haana kubviswa; vanhu vakaramba vachibayira zvibayiro nokupisa zvinonhuhwira ikoko.

Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.

5 Jehovha akarova mambo namaperembudzi kusvikira pazuva raakafa, uye aigara mumba yake oga. Jotamu mwanakomana wamambo ndiye akanga ari mutariri womuzinda uye aitonga vanhu venyika iyoyo.

Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.

6 Zvino zvimwe zvakaitika pakutonga kwaAzaria, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha.

Now the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

7 Azaria akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa pedyo navo muGuta raDhavhidhi. Uye Jotamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.

And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.

In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah, the king of Judah: Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for six months.

9 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaitwa nababa vake. Haana kutendeuka kubva pazvivi zvaJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati zvakaita kuti Israeri iite.

And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

10 Sharumi mwanakomana waJabheshi akamukira Zekaria. Akamurwisa pamberi pavanhu, akamuuraya uye akamutevera paumambo.

Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, conspired against him. And he struck him openly, and killed him. And he reigned in his place.

Now the rest of the words of Zechariah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

12 Saka shoko raJehovha rakataurwa kuna Jehu richiti, “Vana vako vachagara pachigaro choushe chaIsraeri kusvikira kurudzi rwechina,” rakazadziswa.

This was the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Jehu, saying: “Your sons, even to the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.” And so it happened.

Then Menahem struck Tirzah, and all who were in it, and its borders around Tirzah. For they were not willing to open to him. And he killed all of its pregnant women, and he tore them open.

And he did what was evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, during all his days.

19 Ipapo Puri mambo weAsiria akarwisa nyika, uye Menahemi akamupa chiuru chamatarenda esirivha, kuti awane rutsigiro agosimbisa umambo hwake.

Then Pul, the king of the Assyrians, came into the land. And Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, so that he would be a help to him, and so that he might strengthen his kingdom.

20 Menahemi akatora mari iyi somutero kubva kuIsraeri. Murume wose aiva mupfumi aibvisa makumi mashanu amashekeri esirivha kuti apiwe kuna mambo weAsiria. Saka mambo weAsiria akadzokera uye akasagarazve munyika.

And Menahem proclaimed a tax upon Israel, on all who were powerful and wealthy, so that each one would give to the king of the Assyrians fifty shekels of silver. Then the king of the Assyrians turned back, and he did not remain in the land.
