1 Mafumu 16

1 Ndipo Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa Yehu mwana wa Hanani, mawu odzudzula Baasa kuti,

And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

2 “Ine ndinakukuza kuchokera pa fumbi ndipo ndinakupanga kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu anga Aisraeli, koma iwe wakhala ukuyenda mʼnjira za Yeroboamu ndi kuchimwitsa anthu anga Aisraeli naputa mkwiyo wanga chifukwa cha machimo awo.

Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins,

3 Taonani, Ine ndatsala pangʼono kuwononga Baasa pamodzi ndi nyumba yake, ndipo ndidzachitira nyumba yake zimene ndinachita pa nyumba ya Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati.

behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house, and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

4 Agalu adzadya aliyense wa banja la Baasa amene adzafere mu mzinda, ndipo mbalame za mu mlengalenga zidzadya iwo amene adzafere kuthengo.”

He of Baasha who dies in the city shall the dogs eat, and he of his who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

5 Tsono ntchito zina za Baasa ndi zamphamvu zake zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

6 Baasa anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda amene anayikidwa makolo ake ku Tiriza. Ndipo Ela mwana wake anakhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.

And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

7 Komatu Yehova anayankhula kwa Baasa pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse kudzera mwa mneneri Yehu mwana wa Hanani, chifukwa cha zoyipa zonse zimene iye anachita pamaso pa Yehova, kukwiyitsa Yehovayo nakhala ngati nyumba ya Yeroboamu ndiponso chifukwa anawonongeratu banja la Yeroboamu.

And moreover the word of Jehovah came against Baasha by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.

8 Mʼchaka cha 26 cha ufumu wa Asa mfumu ya Yuda, Ela mwana wa Baasa anakhala mfumu ya Israeli, ndipo analamulira ku Tiriza zaka ziwiri.

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.

9 Zimuri, mmodzi mwa akuluakulu ake, amene ankalamulira theka la magaleta ake, anamuchitira chiwembu. Nthawi imeneyi Ela anali ku Tiriza, akumwa koledzera nako mʼnyumba ya Ariza, munthu amene ankayangʼanira nyumba yaufumu ku Tiriza.

And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.

10 Zimuri anadzalowa, namukantha ndi kumupha mʼchaka cha 27 cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda. Ndipo Zimuriyo anakhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.

And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

11 Zimuri atangoyamba kulamulira, anapha banja lonse la Baasa. Sanasiyepo munthu wamwamuna ndi mmodzi yemwe, wachibale kapena bwenzi lake.

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha. He left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinfolks, nor of his friends.

12 Choncho Zimuri anawononga banja lonse la Baasa, molingana ndi mawu amene Yehova anayankhula motsutsa Baasa kudzera mwa mneneri Yehu,

Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

13 chifukwa cha machimo onse amene Baasa ndi mwana wake Ela anachita nachimwitsa Israeli, anakwiyitsa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mafano awo osapindulitsa.

for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

14 Tsono ntchito zina za Ela ndi zina zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

15 Mʼchaka cha 27 cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, Zimuri analamulira ku Tiriza masiku asanu ndi awiri. Gulu la ankhondo linali litamanga misasa pafupi ndi Gibetoni, mzinda wa Afilisti.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

16 Ankhondo amene anali ku misasa atamva kuti Zimuri wachita chiwembu ndi kupha mfumu, tsiku lomwelo ku misasako anasankha Omuri, mkulu wa ankhondo kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.

And the people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also smitten the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

17 Tsono Omuri ndi Aisraeli onse amene anali naye anachoka ku Gibetoni ndi kukazinga Mzinda wa Tiriza.

And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.

18 Zimuri ataona kuti mzinda walandidwa, anathawira ku nsanja ya nyumba ya mfumu ndipo anatentha nyumbayo iye ali momwemo. Kotero iyeyo anafa,

And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire,

19 chifukwa cha machimo amene iye anachita, kuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndi kuyenda mʼnjira za Yeroboamu, nachimwitsa nazo Aisraeli.

and died for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make Israel to sin.

20 Tsono ntchito zina za Zimuri ndi chiwembu chake chimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

21 Pambuyo pake Aisraeli anagawikana pakati: theka linatsatira Tibini mwana wa Ginati kuti limulonge ufumu, ndipo theka lina linatsatira Omuri.

Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts; half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.

22 Koma anthu otsatira Omuri anali amphamvu kupambana amene ankatsatira Tibini mwana wa Ginati. Choncho Tibini anafa ndipo Omuri anakhala mfumu.

But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

23 Mʼchaka cha 31 cha Asa mfumu ya Yuda, Omuri anakhala mfumu ya Israeli, ndipo analamulira zaka 12 ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi ku Tiriza.

In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.

24 Iye anagula phiri la Samariya kwa Semeri pa mtengo wa ndalama 6,000 za siliva ndipo pa phiripo anamangapo mzinda, nawutcha Samariya, potsata dzina la Semeri, dzina la mwini wakale wa phirilo.

And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

25 Koma Omuri anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anachimwa kuposa mafumu ena onse amene analipo iye asanakhale mfumu.

And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.

26 Pakuti iye anayenda mʼnjira zonse za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ndipo tchimo lake anachimwitsa nalo Aisraeli, nakwiyitsa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mafano awo opandapake.

For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.

27 Tsono ntchito zina za Omuri ndi zamphamvu zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Israeli?

Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

28 Choncho Omuri anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda amene anayikidwa makolo ake ku Samariya. Ndipo Ahabu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.

So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

29 Mʼchaka cha 38 cha ufumu wa Asa, mfumu ya Yuda, Ahabu mwana wa Omuri anakhala mfumu ya Israeli nalamulira Israeli ku Samariya zaka 22.

And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. And Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

30 Ahabu mwana wa Omuri anachita zoyipa zambiri pamaso pa Yehova kupambana mafumu onse akale.

And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah above all who were before him.

31 Iye sanachiyese ngati chinthu chochepa chabe kuchita machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, koma anakwatiranso Yezebeli, mwana wa Etibaala mfumu ya Asidoni, nayamba kutumikira Baala ndi kumupembedza.

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

32 Iye anapangira Baala guwa lansembe mʼnyumba ya Baala imene anamanga ku Samariya.

And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

33 Ahabu anapanganso fano la Asera ndi kukwiyitsa kwambiri Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kupambana mafumu onse a Israeli amene analipo iye asanakhale mfumu.

And Ahab made the Asherah. And Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

34 Pa nthawi ya Ahabu, Hiyeli wa ku Beteli anamanganso mzinda wa Yeriko. Pa nthawi yomanga maziko ake, mwana wake woyamba wa mwamuna, Abiramu anamwalira, ndipo pa nthawi yomanga zipata zake, mwana wa mngʼono wa mwamuna Segubu, anamwaliranso. Izi zinachitika monga momwe Yehova ananenera kudzera mwa Yoswa mwana wa Nuni.

In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho. He laid the foundation of it with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates of it with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
