Chifukwa chake mfumu ya Asiriya inamugwira, nimmanga m'ndende. ⁵Mfumu ya Asiriya inalowa m'dziko lonse, nafika ku Samariya, naizinga mzindawo zaka zitatu.

Samariya Lagwa m'manja mwa Asiriya

⁶M'chaka cha chisanu ndi chinayi cha Hoseya, mfumu ya Asiriya inagwira Samariya, nasamutsa Aisiraeli ku Asiriya, nawakhazika ku Hala, ndi m'mphepete mwa mtsinje wa Habori wa ku Gozani, ndi m'mizinda ya Amedi.

⁷Zonsezi zinachitika chifukwa Aisiraeli anachimwira Atate wathu, amene anawatulutsa ku Igupto, kuwachotsa m'manja mwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto, ndipo analambira milungu ina, ⁸natsatira miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu imene Atate wathu anaithamangitsa pamaso pawo, ndi miyambo imene mafumu a Isiraeli anaiyambitsa. ⁹Aisiraeli anachita zinthu zoipa mwamseri kutsutsana ndi Atate wathu, namanga malo okwera m'mizinda yawo yonse, kuyambira pa nsanja ya alonda kufikira mzinda wotetezedwa. ¹⁰Anaimika zipilala zopatulika ndi mitengo ya Asera pa phiri lililonse lalitali, ndi pansi pa mtengo uliwonse wobiriwira. ¹¹Pa malo aliwonse okwera anafukiza lubani, monga mitundu ya anthu imene Atate wathu anaithamangitsa pamaso pawo. Anachita zoipa zimene zinaputa Atate wathu kuti akwiye.

¹²Anatumikira mafano, ngakhale Atate wathu anali atawauza kuti, “Musachite zimenezi.” ¹³Atate wathu anachenjeza Isiraeli ndi Yuda kudzera mwa mneneri aliyense ndi wamasomphenya, nati: “Lekani njira zanu zoipa, nisunge malamulo anga ndi ziphunzitso zanga—chilamulo chonse chimene ndinapatsa makolo anu, nichikutumizirani kudzera mwa atumiki anga aneneri.”

¹⁴Koma sanamvere. Anawumitsa makosi awo monga makolo awo, amene sanakhulupirire Atate wathu. ¹⁵Anakana ziphunzitso zake, pangano limene anachita ndi makolo awo, ndi machenjezo ake. Anatsatira mafano achabechabe, nakhala achabe, natsanzira mitundu ya anthu owazungulira imene Atate wathu anawaletsa kutsanzira. ¹⁶Anasiya malamulo onse a Atate wathu, napanga mafano awiri a ana a ng'ombe owumba, ndi mtengo wa Asera, nagwadira zonse za gulu la nyenyezi za kumwamba, natumikira Baala. ¹⁷Anawotcha ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi ngati nsembe, nachita za ulosi wonyenga ndi za ufiti, nadzigulitsa okha kuchita zoipa pamaso pa Atate wathu, naputa mkwiyo wake. ¹⁸Chifukwa chake Atate wathu, atakwiya kwambiri ndi Isiraeli, anawachotsa pamaso pake. Panangotsala fuko la Yuda lokha, ¹⁹Yudanso sanasunge malamulo a Atate wathu, koma anatsatira machitidwe a Isiraeli. ²⁰Chifukwa chake Atate wathu anakana zidzukulu zonse za Isiraeli, nabweretsa masautso pa iwo, nawapereka m'manja mwa ofunkha mpaka atawataya pamaso pake. ²¹Pamene Atate wathu anang'amba Isiraeli kuwachotsa pa banja la Davide, iwo anaika Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati kukhala mfumu yawo. Yeroboamu anachotsa Isiraeli pa kutsatira Atate wathu, nawatsogolera ku tchimo lalikulu. ²²Aisiraeli anapitiriza m'machimo onse amene Yeroboamu anachita; sanasiye machimowo, ²³mpaka Atate wathu atachotsa Isiraeli pamaso pake, monga ananenera kudzera mwa atumiki ake onse aneneri. Choncho Isiraeli anasamutsidwa kuchoka m'dziko lawo kupita ku Asiriya, nakhalabe komweko mpaka lero.

Alendo Akhazikika M'dziko

²⁴Mfumu ya Asiriya inabweretsa anthu ochokera ku Babuloni, ku Kuta, ku Ava, ku Hamati, ndi ku Sefaravaimu, naiwakhazika m'mizinda ya Samariya m'malo mwa Aisiraeli. Iwo analanda Samariya, nakhala m'mizinda yake. ²⁵Pamene anayamba kukhala komweko, sanalambire Atate wathu; chifukwa chake Iye anatumiza mikango pakati pawo imene inapha ena a iwo. ²⁶Iwo anawuza mfumu ya Asiriya, nati: “Mitundu ya anthu imene munaisamutsa kupita m'mizinda ya Samariya sikudziwa zimene mulungu wa dziko lija amafuna. Chifukwa chake watumiza mikango pakati pawo, ikuwapha, chifukwa sadziwa zimene mulungu wa dzikolo amafuna.”

²⁷Mfumu ya Asiriya inalamula, nati: “Bwezerani kumeneko wansembe mmodzi amene munamsamutsa kuchoka ku Samariya. Akhale komweko, nakaphunzitse anthu zimene mulungu wa dzikolo amafuna.”

²⁸Choncho mmodzi wa ansembe amene anasamutsidwa kuchoka ku Samariya anakhala ku Beteli, nawaphunzitsa mmene angalambirire Atate wathu.

²⁹Koma mtundu uliwonse wa anthu unapanga milungu yawoyawo, nauiika m'nyumba za malo okwera zimene Asamariya anamanga, mtundu uliwonse m'mizinda imene unkakhalamo. ³⁰Anthu ochokera ku Babuloni anapanga Sukoti-benoti, a ku Kuta anapanga Nerigala, a ku Hamati anapanga Asima, ³¹Aava anapanga Nibihazi ndi Taritaki, ndipo Asefaravaimu anawotcha ana awo pa moto ngati nsembe kwa Adaramuleki ndi Anamuleki, milungu ya Sefaravaimu. ³²Ankalambira Atate wathu, komabe anadzisankhira pakati pawo ansembe a mitundumitundu a malo okwera, amene ankawaperekera nsembe m'nyumba za malowo. ³³Ankalambira Atate wathu, komabe ankatumikira milungu yawoyawo motsatira miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu imene anachokera. ³⁴Mpaka lero akusunga miyambo yawo yakale. Salambira Atate wathu, ndiponso satsatira malangizo, malamulo, chilamulo, ndi lamulo limene Atate wathu anapatsa ana a Yakobo, amene anawatcha dzina lakuti Isiraeli.

³⁵Pamene Atate wathu anachita pangano ndi iwo, anawalamula, nati: “Musalambire, kugwadira, kutumikira, kapena kuperekera nsembe milungu ina. ³⁶Koma Atate wanu anakutulutsani ku Igupto ndi mphamvu yaikulu ndi dzanja lotambasuka—mulambireni Iye. Mugwadireni Iye; mumuperekere nsembe. ³⁷Muzisamala nthawi zonse kusunga malangizo, malamulo, chilamulo, ndi lamulo limene Iye anakulemberani. Musalambire milungu ina. ³⁸Musaiwale pangano limene ndinachita ndi inu, ndipo musalambire milungu ina. ³⁹Koma lambirani Atate wanu, ndipo Iye adzakupulumutsani m'manja mwa adani anu onse.”

⁴⁰Komabe sanamvere, koma anapitiriza kuchita miyambo yawo yakale. ⁴¹Mitundu ya anthu iyi inkalambira Atate wathu, komabe inkatumikira mafano awo. Ana awo ndi zidzukulu zawo amachita monga anachitira makolo awo, mpaka lero.
