Amambo Wakutoma

22 Mu pyaka pitatu nee paoneka nkhondo pakati pa Sirya na Izraeli. 2 Mu caka cacitatu, Mambo Yosafate+ wa ku Yuda aenda kuna mambo wa Izraeli.+ 3 Buluka penepo mambo wa Izraeli apanga atumiki ace: “Imwe musadziwa kuti nzinda wa Ramoti-Jiliyadhi+ ndi wathu? Ngakhale tenepo, ife tisanyinyirika toera kuenda kaukwata m’manja mwa mambo wa ku Sirya.” 4 Buluka penepo iye abvundza Yosafate: “Munaenda kamenya nkhondo pabodzi na ine ku Ramoti-Jiliyadhi?” Yosafate atawira mambo wa Izraeli: “Ine ndinadzakhala na imwe.* Mbumba yanga inadzakhala na mbumba yanu, pontho makavalo anu na anga ndi mabodzi ene.”+

5 Mbwenye Yosafate apanga mambo wa Izraeli: “Ndaphata miyendo, pakutoma bvundzani+ Yahova thangwi ya pyenepi.”+ 6 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli acemeresa aprofeta akukwana 400, mbaabvundza: “Ndiende kamenyana na nzinda wa Ramoti-Jiliyadhi peno nkhabe?” Iwo atawira: “Ndokoni, pontho Yahova anaupereka m’manja mwanu.”

7 Buluka penepo Yosafate abvundza: “Kuno nkhabe mprofeta wa Yahova? Tendeni tibvundze Mulungu kubulukira kuna iye.”+ 8 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli apanga Yosafate: “Pana mamuna unango m’bodzi wakuti ife tinakwanisa kubvundzisa Yahova+ kubulukira kuna iye; mbwenye ine ndisamuida+ thangwi angalonga pya ine, nee asalonga maprofesiya adidi, basi ene asalonga akuipa.+ Iye ndi Mikaya mwana wa Imila.” Mbwenye Yosafate ampanga: “Mambo, lekani kulonga pyenepi.”

9 Mambo wa Izraeli acemera ntumiki wace, mbampanga: “Cimbiza, ndoko ukacemere Mikaya mwana wa Imila.”+ 10 Mambo wa Izraeli na Yosafate mambo wa ku Yuda akhali nawa m’mipando yawo ya umambo, pontho akhadabvala nguwo zawo za umambo. Iwo akhali pa mbuwa* dhuzi na nsuwo ukulu wa nzinda wa Samariya, pontho aprofeta onsene akhalonga maprofesiya patsogolo pawo.+ 11 Penepo Zedhekiya mwana wa Kenana asasanya nyanga za utale mbalonga: “Yahova alonga tenepa: ‘Na nyanga izi, imwe munadzapha* anthu a ku Sirya mpaka kuamalisa.’” 12 Aprofeta anango onsene akhalonga maprofesiya munjira ibodzi ene kuti: “Ndokoni ku Ramoti-Jiliyadhi, imwe munawina thangwi Yahova anapereka nzinda unoyu m’manja mwanu.”

13 Natenepa, munthu adaenda kacemera Mikaya ampanga: “Dziwa kuti mafala onsene adalonga aprofeta ndi adidi kuna mambo. Ndaphata miyendo, mafala ako mbakhale sawasawa na awo, mbulongambo pinthu pyadidi.”+ 14 Mbwenye Mikaya alonga: “Ndiri kudumbira mu dzina ya Yahova Mulungu wa m’maso kuti pire pinafuna kundipanga Yahova ndipyo pinafuna ine kulonga.” 15 Buluka penepo iye aenda kuna mambo, mambo mbambvundza: “Mikaya, tiende kamenyana na nzinda wa Ramoti-Jiliyadhi peno nkhabe?” Penepo pene iye atawira: “Ndokoni, imwe munawina thangwi Yahova anapereka nzinda unoyu m’manja mwanu.” 16 Penepo mambo ambvundza: “Kodi ndisafunika kukucitisa kudumbira kangasi toera undipange undimomwene mu dzina ya Yahova?” 17 Penepo iye alonga: “Ndikuona Aizraeli onsene balala m’mapiri+ ninga mabira akusowa nkumbizi. Yahova alonga: ‘Iwo nkhabebve ntsogoleri. M’bodzi na m’bodzi mbabwerere kunyumba kwace muntendere.’”

18 Buluka penepo, mambo wa Izraeli apanga Yosafate: “Ine nee ndakupanga kuti: ‘Iye angalonga pya ine nee asalonga maprofesiya adidi, basi ene asalonga akuipa’?”+

19 Penepo Mikaya alonga: “Cincino bveserani mafala a Yahova: Ine ndaona Yahova akhali nawa pa mpando wace waumambo,+ pontho ndaona anyankhondo onsene akudzulu akhali dzololo n’khundu mwace, anango kukhundu yamadyo anango kukhundu yabzwere.+ 20 Yahova abvundza: ‘Mbani anafuna kuenda kanyengeza Akabu toera iye aende ku Ramoti-Jiliyadhi mbafera kweneko?’ Anju m’bodzi akhalonga ipi, unango akhalonga pinango. 21 Buluka penepo, anju*+ m’bodzi aenda kutsogolo, alimira pamaso pa Yahova mbalonga: ‘Ine ndinaenda kan’nyengeza.’ Yahova ambvundza: ‘Unacita tani pyenepi?’ 22 Iye atawira: ‘Ndinaenda kacitisa aprofeta ace toera alonge uthambi.’+ Natenepa Mulungu alonga: ‘Iwe unakwanisa kun’nyengeza, kusiyapo pyenepi, iwe unapembera. Ndoko ukacite pidalonga iwe.’ 23 Yahova atawirisa kuti anju acitise aprofeta awa onsene kulonga uthambi kuna imwe.+ Mbwenye Yahova alonga kuti imwe munagwerwa na nyatwa.”+

24 Zedhekiya mwana wa Kenana afendedzera Mikaya, am’menya mbama mbalonga: “Iwe usafuna kulonga kuti nzimu wa Yahova wandisiya toera ulonge na iwe?”+ 25 Mikaya atawira: “Unadziwa pyenepi pa ntsiku inafuna iwe kupita nkwartu yankati kakamwe toera kubisala.” 26 Buluka penepo mambo wa Izraeli alonga: “Kwatani Mikaya mbamuenda naye kuna Amoni nkulu wa nzinda na kuna Yowasi mwana wa mambo. 27 Apangeni kuti ‘mambo alonga tenepa: “Ikhani munthu uyu nkaidi,+ pontho mpaseni cakudya cakucepa na madzi akucepa mpaka ine ndingabwerera muntendere.”’” 28 Mbwenye Mikaya alonga: “Imwe mungabwerera muntendere, Yahova nee alonga na ine.”+ Buluka penepo iye athimiza: “Bveserani pyenepi imwe mbumba zonsene.”

29 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli na Yosafate mambo wa ku Yuda aenda ku Ramoti-Jiliyadhi.+ 30 Mambo wa Izraeli apanga Yosafate: “Ine ndinacinja nguwo zanga toera ndikhonde kudzindikirwa, mbandienda kunkhondo, mbwenye imwe musafunika kubvala nguwo zanu zaumambo.” Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli acinja nguwo zace,+ mbaenda kamenya nkhondo. 31 Mambo wa ku Sirya akhadapereka ntemo uyu kuna atsogoleri ace a ngolo za nkhondo+ akukwana 32: “Lekani kumenyana na munthu unango, nyankhondo peno ntsogoleri, mbwenye basi ene menyanani na mambo wa Izraeli.” 32 Atsogoleri a ngolo za nkhondo pidaona iwo Yosafate, alonga: “Mwakukhonda penula, ule ndi mambo wa Izraeli.” Natenepa iwo aenda kuna iye toera amenyane naye; penepo Yosafate atoma kukhuwa mbaphemba ciphedzo. 33 Atsogoleri a ngolo za nkhondo pidaona iwo kuti nee ndi mambo wa Izraeli, penepo pene iwo asiya kuntowera mbabwerera pyawo.

34 Mbwenye mamuna m’bodzi aponya pswimo yace, mwasusudeu* yaenda kalasa mambo wa Izraeli mule mudaphatanizwa cakutsidzikiza diti ca utale. Natenepa mambo apanga nyakufambisa ngolo yace ya nkhondo: “Zungunuka toera undibuluse pa mbuto ino, thangwi ndaphekeswa kakamwe.”+ 35 Nkhondo ikhadatekera kakamwe pa ntsiku ineyi, pontho mambo alimiriswa mu ngolo yace ya nkhondo kutsogolo kwa anyankhondo a ku Sirya. Ciropa cikhabuluka padaphekeswa iye cikhacucira mu ngolo ya nkhondo, iye mbafa namaulo.+ 36 Mu ndzidzi ukhabira dzuwa, kwabveka n’khuwo uyu kuna anyankhondo a Izraeli: “M’bodzi na m’bodzi mbabwerere ku nzinda wace! M’bodzi na m’bodzi mbabwerere ku dziko yace!”+ 37 Natenepa mambo afa, aendeswa ku Samariya, mbaikhwa kweneko. 38 Pikhatsuka iwo ngolo ya nkhondo pa thawala ya ku Samariya, anambwa akhanyanguta ciropa cace, pontho maputa akhasamba penepo,* mwakubverana na mafala adalonga Yahova.+

39 Mphangwa zinango zinalonga pya umaso wa Akabu, pyonsene pidacita iye, nyumba idabalikisa iye na nyanga za ndzou+ na mizinda yonsene idamanga iye, pyalembwa m’bukhu inalonga pinthu pidacitika mu ndzidzi wa amambo a ku Izraeli. 40 Pakumalisa, Akabu afa ninga pidacita ambuyace;+ pontho mwanace anacemerwa Akaziya+ adzakhala mambo pa mbuto yace.

41 Yosafate+ mwana wa Aza adzakhala mambo wa ku Yuda mu caka cacinai ca Mambo Akabu wa Izraeli. 42 Yosafate akhali na pyaka 35 pidatoma iye kutonga, pontho iye atonga mu Yerusalemu mu pyaka 25. Mai wace akhacemerwa Azubha mwana wa Sili. 43 Iye apitiriza kufamba munjira zonsene za pai wace akhacemerwa Aza.+ Iye nee asiya kufamba munjira zenezi, pontho iye acita pinthu pyadidi pamaso pa Yahova.+ Mbwenye iye nee afudza mbuto zaulambiri, pontho anthu akhapitiriza basi kupereka ntsembe mbacitisa kuti utci wa ntsembe zenezi uende kuna alungu awo.+ 44 Yosafate apitiriza kukhala muntendere na mambo wa Izraeli.+ 45 Mphangwa zinango zinalonga pya umaso wa Yosafate, pinthu pya mphambvu pidacita iye na nkhondo zidamenya iye, pyalembwa m’bukhu inalonga pinthu pidacitika mu ndzidzi wa amambo a ku Yuda. 46 Pontho iye athamangisa mu dziko ineyi amuna a pa templo akuti akhapita m’mabonde na amuna andzawo,+ ale akuti akhadasalikira mu ntsiku za babace, Aza.+

47 Mu ndzidzi unoyu, ku Edhomi+ nee kukhali mambo; ntsogoleri wa dhistritu ndiye akhatumikira ninga mambo.+

48 Yosafate acitambo mabote* a ku Tarsi toera aende kakwata ouro ku Ofire,+ mbwenye mabote anewa nee akwanisa kuenda kweneko thangwi alobzweka ku Ezioni-Jebheri.+ 49 Na thangwi ineyi, Akaziya mwana wa Akabu apanga Yosafate: “Tawirisani kuti anyabasa anga aende pabodzi na anyabasa anu m’mabote.” Mbwenye Yosafate akhonda.

50 Pakumalisa, Yosafate afa ninga pidacita ambuyace,+ mbaikhwa munthumbi pabodzi na iwo mu Nzinda wa Dhavidhi wakuti ndi mbuyace; ­pontho mwanace akhacemerwa Yeoramu+ adzakhala mambo pa mbuto yace.

51 Akaziya+ mwana wa Akabu adzakhala mambo wa Izraeli ku Samariya mu caka 17 ca Mambo Yosafate wa ku Yuda, pontho iye atonga Izraeli mu pyaka piwiri. 52 Iye apitiriza kucita pinthu pyakuipa pamaso pa Yahova mbafamba munjira za babace+ na mai wace,+ pontho afamba munjira za Yerobhoamu mwana wa Nebhati, ule adacitisa Aizraeli kudawa.+ 53 Iye apitiriza kulambira Bhaale,+ mbatsukwalisa Yahova Mulungu wa Izraeli+ ninga pidacita babace.
