2 Mafumu 10 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

10 ¹Ahabu anali ndi ana aamuna makumi asanu ndi awiri mu Samariya. Ndipo Yehu anatumiza makalata ku Samariya, kwa akuluakulu a mzinda, akulu, ndi oyang'anira ana a Ahabu, nalemba kuti: ²“Kalata iyi ikakufikani, popeza ana a mbuye wanu ali ndi inu, komanso magaleta, akavalo, mzinda wotetezedwa, ndi zida, ³sankhani mwana wa mbuye wanu wabwino ndi woyenerera koposa, mumuike pa mpando waufumu wa atate wake, ndipo mumenyere nkhondo nyumba ya mbuye wanu.”

⁴Koma iwo anachita mantha, anachita mantha kwambiri, nati, “Taonani, mafumu awiri sanathe kuyima pamaso pake. Nanga ife tingathe bwanji kuyima?” ⁵Ndipo woyang'anira nyumba yaufumu, bwanamkubwa wa mzinda, akulu, ndi oyang'anira anatumiza mawu kwa Yehu kuti, “Ife ndife atumiki anu; tidzachita zonse zimene mudzanena. Sitidzaika aliyense kukhala mfumu—chitani chimene chili chabwino pamaso panu.”

⁶Ndipo Yehu anawalembera kalata yachiwiri kuti, “Ngati muli ndi ine ndipo mudzandimvera, tengani mitu ya ana a mbuye wanu ndipo mubwere kwa ine ku Yezireeli nthawi ngati ino mawa.” Tsono ana aamuna makumi asanu ndi awiri a mfumu anali ndi akuluakulu a mzinda, amene anali kuwalera.

⁷Kalata itafika, iwo anagwira ana a mfumu, naphera onse makumi asanu ndi awiri, naika mitu yawo m'madengu, nawatumiza kwa Yehu ku Yezireeli. ⁸Wamthenga anamuuza kuti, “Abwera nayo mitu ya ana a mfumu.” Iye anati, “Muyiunjike m'miunjo iwiri pa khomo la chipata mpaka m'mawa.”

⁹M'mawa iye anatuluka, nayima pamaso pa anthu onse, nati, “Inu mulibe mlandu. Ine ndinapangana chiwembu ndi mbuye wanga ndi kumupha, koma ndani anapha onsewa? ¹⁰Dziwani kuti palibe mawu a Atate wathu otsutsa nyumba ya Ahabu amene adzagwera pansi. Atate wathu wachita chimene ananena kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Eliya.”

¹¹Choncho Yehu anapha onse otsala a nyumba ya Ahabu mu Yezireeli—akuluakulu ake, abwenzi ake apamtima, ndi ansembe ake—osamusiyira wopulumuka ngakhale mmodzi.

¹²Ndipo iye ananyamuka, napita cha ku Samariya. Ali panjira, pa Beti-ekedi wa Abusa, ¹³Yehu anakumana ndi abale a Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda, nawafunsa kuti, “Inu ndinu ndani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndife abale a Ahaziya, tikubwera kudzalonjera mabanja a mfumu ndi a mayi wa mfumu.”

¹⁴Iye anati, “Agwireni amoyo!” Ndipo iwo anawagwira amoyo, nawaphera pa dzenje la Beti-ekedi—amuna makumi anayi ndi awiri, osatsala ngakhale mmodzi.

¹⁵Atachoka kumeneko, anakumana ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu amene anali kudza kumukumana. Yehu anamulonjera, namufunsa kuti, “Kodi mtima wako uli woona kwa ine, monga wanga ulili kwa iwe?” Yehonadabu anati, “Inde, uli choncho.” Yehu anati, “Ngati zili choncho, patse dzanja lako.” Iye anapereka dzanja lake, ndipo Yehu anamukweza m'galeta.

¹⁶Iye anati, “Tiye ndi ine, udzaone changu changa cha Atate wathu.” Choncho anamukweza kuti akwere m'galeta lake. ¹⁷Atafika mu Samariya, Yehu anapha onse otsala a Ahabu kumeneko, nawawonongeratu, monga momwe Atate wathu anamuuzira Eliya.

Yehu Awononga Kupembedza Baala

¹⁸Ndipo Yehu anasonkhanitsa anthu onse, nati, “Ahabu anatumikira Baala pang'ono; koma Yehu adzamutumikira kwambiri. ¹⁹Ndiyitanireni aneneri onse a Baala, opembedza ake onse, ansembe ake onse—pasakhale wosowa; pakuti ndili ndi nsembe yayikulu ya Baala, ndipo aliyense wosowa sadzakhala ndi moyo.” Koma Yehu anachita mwa chinyengo, kuti awononge opembedza Baala.

²⁰Yehu analamula kuti, “Lengezani msonkhano woyera wa Baala.” Choncho iwo anawulengeza.

²¹Yehu anatumiza mawu mu Isiraeli monse; opembedza onse a Baala anabwera, palibe amene anatsala. Iwo analowa m'nyumba ya Baala, ndipo anayidzaza kuchokera mbali ina mpaka inayo. ²²Yehu anauza woyang'anira zovala kuti, “Tulutsa mikanjo ya opembedza onse a Baala.” Ndipo iye anayitulutsa.

²³Yehu ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu analowa m'nyumba ya Baala. Iye anauza opembedza Baala kuti, “Fufuzani mosamala—onetsetsani kuti pasakhale atumiki a Atate wathu pano pakati panu, koma opembedza Baala okha.”

²⁴Iwo analowa kuti apereke nsembe ndi nsembe zopsereza. Tsono Yehu anali ataika amuna makumi asanu ndi atatu panja, nawachenjeza kuti, “Aliyense amene adzalola kuti wina mwa anthu amene ndikuwayika m'manja mwanu athawe, moyo wako udzaperekedwa m'malo mwa moyo wake.”

²⁵Nsembe yopsereza itatha, Yehu anauza alonda ndi akuluakulu kuti, “Lowani, muwaphe—pasatuluke ngakhale mmodzi.” Ndipo iwo anawakantha ndi lupanga; alonda ndi akuluakulu anawaponya kunja, nalowa m'chipinda chamkati cha nyumba ya Baala. ²⁶Anatulutsa zipilala zopatulika za m'nyumba ya Baala, nazitentha. ²⁷Anagwetsa chipilala chopatulika cha Baala, nagwetsanso nyumba ya Baala, nayisandutsa chimbudzi mpaka lero.

²⁸Choncho Yehu anawononga kupembedza Baala mu Isiraeli. ²⁹Komabe Yehu sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa nawo Isiraeli—ana a ng'ombe agolide a ku Beteli ndi Dani.

³⁰Atate wathu anauza Yehu kuti, “Chifukwa unachita bwino, nuchita chokhoza pamaso panga, ndipo unachita zonse zimene ndinafuna kuchitira nyumba ya Ahabu, zidzukulu zako zidzakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Isiraeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.”

³¹Koma Yehu sanasamalire kutsatira ndi mtima wake wonse lamulo la Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Isiraeli. Iye sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu, amene anachimwitsa Isiraeli.

³²Masiku amenewo Atate wathu anayamba kuchepetsa Isiraeli. Hazaeli anawakantha mʼmalire onse a Isiraeli. ³³Kummawa kwa Yordano—dziko lonse la Giliyadi, dziko la Gadi, Rubeni, ndi Manase—kuyambira Aroeri pafupi ndi Chigwa cha Arinoni, kudutsa Giliyadi ndi Basani.

³⁴Zochita zina za Yehu—zonse zimene anachita ndi mphamvu zake zonse—kodi sizinalembedwe m'buku la mbiri ya mafumu a Isiraeli? ³⁵Yehu anagona ndi makolo ake, nayikidwa m'manda mu Samariya; ndipo Yehoahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu m'malo mwake. ³⁶Nthawi imene Yehu analamulira Isiraeli ali mu Samariya inali zaka makumi awiri ndi zisanu ndi zitatu.
