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 Vakazvimisira matombo namatanda okunamata pamusoro pezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira napasi pemiti yose yakapfumvutira.
Anayimika miyala ya chipembedzo ndi mitengo ya mafano a Asera pa phiri lililonse lalitali ndi pansi pa mtengo uliwonse wa masamba ambiri.
11 Vakapisa zvinonhuhwira panzvimbo dzose dzakakwirira, sezvakanga zvichiitwa nendudzi dzakadzingwa pamberi pavo naJehovha. Vakaita zvinhu zvakaipa zvikatsamwisa Jehovha.

12 Vakanamata zvifananidzo, kunyange Jehovha akanga ati, “Musaita izvi.”
Ndipo iwowo ankapembedza mafano ngakhale Yehova ananena kuti, “Musadzachite zimenezi.”
13 Jehovha akayambira Israeri neJudha kubudikidza navaprofita vake vose navaoni akati, “Ibvai panzira dzenyu dzakaipa. Cherechedzai mirayiro nemitemo yangu maererano noMurayiro wose wandakarayira madzibaba enyu kuti vauteerere uye uyo wandakapa kwamuri kubudikidza navaranda vangu vaprofita.”
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.”

Vakatevedzera ndudzi dzakanga dzakavakomberedza kunyange Jehovha akanga avarayira akati, “Musaita sezvavanoita,” asi vakaita zvinhu zvavakarambidzwa naJehovha.
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.

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 Vakabayira vanakomana vavo navanasikana vavo mumoto. Vakaita zvokuvuka nouroyi vakazvitengesa kuti vaite zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, vakamutsamwisa nazvo.
Ndipo anadutsitsa mʼmoto ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi. Iwo ankawombeza mawula, namachitanso zanyanga ndipo anadzipereka kuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova namukwiyitsa.
18 Naizvozvo Jehovha akatsamwira Israeri zvikuru akavabvisa pamberi pake. Rudzi rwaJudha chete ndirwo rwakasara,
Choncho Yehova anakwiya nawo kwambiri Aisraeli ndipo anawachotsa pamaso pake. Palibe amene anatsala kupatula fuko la Yuda lokha.
19 uye kunyange vaJudhawo havana kuchengeta mirayiro yaJehovha Mwari wavo. Vakatevera tsika dzakanga dzatangwa neIsraeri.

20 Naizvozvo Jehovha akaramba vanhu vose veIsraeri; akavatambudza akavapa mumaoko avaparadzi, kusvikira avabvisa pamberi pake.
Motero Yehova anakana Aisraeli onse. Iye anawazunza nawapereka mʼmanja mwa anthu ofunkha mpaka Iye atawachotseratu pamaso pake.
21 Akati abvarura Israeri kubva muimba yaDhavhidhi, vakaita Jerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati mambo wavo. Jerobhoamu akatsausa Israeri pakutevera Jehovha akavaita kuti vaite chivi chikuru.
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 VaIsraeri vakaramba vari muzvivi zvose zvaJerobhoamu uye havana kutendeuka kubva pazviri
Aisraeli anakakamira machimo onse amene Yeroboamu anachita ndipo sanawasiye
23 kusvikira Jehovha avabvisa pamberi pake, sezvaakanga avayambira kubudikidza navaranda vake vose vaprofita. Saka vanhu veIsraeri vakatapwa kubva kunyika yavo vakaendeswa kuusungwa muAsiria, uye vachiriko nanhasi.
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 Mambo weAsiria akauya navanhu kubva kuBhabhironi, nokuKuta, neAvha, neHamati neSefarivhaimu ndokuvagarisa mumaguta eSamaria pachinzvimbo chavaIsraeri. Vakatora Samaria vakagara mumaguta ayo.
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 Pavakatanga kugarako, vakanga vasinganamati Jehovha; naizvozvo akatuma shumba pakati pavo dzikauraya vamwe vavo.
Iwo atayamba kukhala kumeneko, sanapembedze Yehova choncho Yehova anatumiza mikango pakati pawo ndipo inapha ena mwa iwo.
26 Vakazivisa mambo weAsiria kuti: “Vanhu vamabvisa mukavagarisa mumaguta eSamaria havazivi zvinodikanwa naMwari wenyika iyoyo. Akatuma shumba pakati pavo, dziri kuvauraya, nokuti vanhu havazivi zvaanoda.”

28 Saka mumwe wavaprista vakanga vatapwa kubva kuSamaria akauya kuzogara muBheteri akavadzidzisa kunamata Jehovha.
Choncho mmodzi mwa ansembe amene anawatenga ku Samariya anabwera kudzakhala ku Beteli ndipo ankaphunzitsa anthuwo kupembedza Yehova.

Pamene Yehova anachita pangano ndi Aisraeli, Iye anawalamula kuti, “Musapembedze milungu ina kapena kuyigwadira iyo, kuyitumikira kapena kupereka nsembe kwa iyoyo.
36 Asi Jehovha uyo akakubudisai kubva munyika yeIjipiti nesimba guru uye noruoko rwakatambanudzwa, ndiye oga wamunofanira kunamata. Ndiye wamunofanira kupfugamira uye ndiye wamunofanira kupa zvibayiro.
