13 ¹Ndipo munthu wa Atate wathu anachokera ku Yuda nabwera ku Beteli mwa mau a Atate wathu, pamene Yerobowamu anaimirira pa guwa kufukiza lubani.

²Mwa mau a Atate wathu analirira guwa nati, “Guwa, guwa, Atate wathu ati, Nyumba ya Davide idzabereka mwana wotchedwa Yosiya. Pa iwe adzapereka nsembe ansembe a pamalo okwera amene amafukiza lubani pa iwe, ndipo mafupa a anthu adzatenthedwa pa iwe.”

³Tsiku lomwelo anapereka chizindikiro nati, “Ichi ndicho chizindikiro chimene Atate wathu ananena, Guwa lidzang'ambika ndipo phulusa lake lidzatayikira panja.”

⁴Pamene mfumu Yerobowamu inamva munthu wa Atate wathu akulirira guwa ku Beteli, inatambasula dzanja lake kuchoka pa guwa, nati, “Mgwireni!” Koma dzanja limene inalitambasulira iye linauma, ndipo sinathe kulibweza kwa iyo yomwe. ⁵Ndipo guwa linang'ambika, ndipo phulusa lake linatayikira panja—chizindikiro chimene munthu wa Atate wathu anapereka mwa mau a Atate wathu. ⁶Mfumu inati kwa munthu wa Atate wathu, “Pempha chifundo cha Mulungu wako; undipempherere, kuti dzanja langa libwezeretsedwe.” Iye anapempha Atate wathu, ndipo dzanja la mfumu linabwezeretsedwa monga kale.

⁷Mfumu inati kwa munthu wa Atate wathu, “Bwera kunyumba, udye ndi ine, ndipo ndidzakupatsa mphatso.”

⁸Munthu wa Atate wathu anati kwa mfumu, “Ngakhale mutandipatsa theka la nyumba yanu, sindidzapita nanu, kapena kudya buledi, kapena kumwa madzi pano.

⁹Pakuti umo ndi mmene mau a Atate wathu anandilamulira, ‘Usadye buledi, usamwe madzi, usabwerere njira imene unadzera.’”

¹⁰Choncho anatsata njira ina ndipo sanabwerere njira imene anadzera ku Beteli.

¹¹Ndipo ku Beteli kunali mneneri wina wokalamba. Ana ake aamuna anabwera namuuza zonse zimene munthu wa Atate wathu anachita tsiku limenelo ku Beteli. Anamuuzanso atate wawo mau amene anayankhula kwa mfumu.

¹²Atate wawo anafunsa nati, “Anadzera njira iti?” Ana ake anamuonetsa njira imene munthu wa Atate wathu wochokera ku Yuda anadzera. ¹³Iye anati kwa ana ake, “Mandikonzere bulu.” Anamukonzera bulu, ndipo anakwera pa iye. ¹⁴Iye anatsata munthu wa Atate wathu, namupeza atakhala pansi pa mtengo wa thundu, nati, “Kodi ndiwe munthu wa Atate wathu amene unachokera ku Yuda?” Iye anayankha nati, “Ndine.”

¹⁵Ndipo anati kwa iye, “Bwera kunyumba ndi ine, udye buledi.”

¹⁶Koma iye anati, “Sindingathe kubwerera nawe kapena kulowa nawe, ndipo sindidzadya buledi kapena kumwa madzi ndi iwe pano. ¹⁷Pakuti Atate wathu anandiuza mwa mau ake, ‘Usadye buledi, usamwe madzi kumeneko, kapena kubwerera njira imene unadzera.’”

¹⁸Iye anati, “Inenso ndine mneneri ngati iwe; ndipo mngelo anandiuza mwa mau a Mulungu, ‘Mubwezere kunyumba kwako kuti adye buledi ndi kumwa madzi.’” Koma iye ananama kwa iye.

¹⁹Choncho munthu wa Atate wathu anabwerera naye, nadya buledi m'nyumba mwake, namwa madzi. ²⁰Pamene anakhala pa tebulo, mau a Atate wathu anafika kwa mneneri amene anamubwezera.

²¹Iye anafuwulira munthu wa Atate wathu wochokera ku Yuda nati, “Atate wathu ati, Chifukwa chakuti unanyoza mau ake, ndipo sunasunge lamulo limene Atate wako anakupatsa, ²²koma unabwerera, nudya buledi, numwa madzi pa malo amene anakuuza, ‘Usadye buledi, usamwe madzi’—mtembo wako sudzafika kumanda a makolo ako.”

²³Munthu wa Atate wathu atatha kudya ndi kumwa, mneneri wokalamba anamukonzera bulu, mneneri amene anamubwezera. ²⁴Pamene ankayenda njira yake, mkango unakumana naye pa njira, numupha. Mtembo wake unatayika pa njira, ndipo bulu anaimirira pambali pake, ndipo mkango unaimirira pambali pa mtembo. ²⁵Anthu odutsa anaona mtembo utatayika pa njira ndi mkango utaimirira pambali pake, ndipo anabwera nafotokoza zimenezi mu mzinda mumene munakhala mneneri wokalamba. ²⁶Mneneri amene anamubwezera panjira atamva izi anati, “Uyu ndi munthu wa Atate wathu amene ananyoza mau a Atate wathu; choncho Atate wathu anamupereka kwa mkango, umene unamung'amba numupha, monga anamuuzira.” ²⁷Ndipo anati kwa ana ake, “Mandikonzere bulu.” Ndipo anamukonzera. ²⁸Anapita napeza mtembo utatayika pa njira, bulu ndi mkango zitaimirira pambali pake; mkango sunadye mtembo kapena kung'amba bulu. ²⁹Mneneri ananyamula mtembo wa munthu wa Atate wathu, nauika pa bulu, naubweza, nabwera ku mzinda kudzalira maliro ndi kumuika m'manda. ³⁰Anayika mtembo m'manda ake, ndipo analira maliro ake nati, “Kalanga mbale wanga!”

³¹Atamuika m'manda, anati kwa ana ake, “Ndikadzafa, mundiike m'manda momwe munthu wa Atate wathu waikidwamo; mafupa anga muwaike pambali pa mafupa ake. ³²Pakuti uthenga umene analirira mwa mau a Atate wathu kutsutsa guwa la ku Beteli ndi malo onse opembedzerapo a pamalo okwera a m'mizinda ya Samariya udzakwaniritsidwa ndithu.”

³³Pambuyo pa zimenezi, Yerobowamu sanatembenuke kuleka njira yake yoipa; koma anapanganso ansembe a pamalo okwera kuchokera kwa anthu onse—aliyense amene anafuna, anamupatula, ndipo anakhala ansembe a pamalo okwera. ³⁴Ndipo ichi chinakhala tchimo kwa nyumba ya Yerobowamu, kuti idulidwe, ndi kuwonongedwa pa dziko lapansi.
