2 Mafumu 9 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

9 ¹Elisa mneneri anaitana mmodzi wa ana a aneneri, nati kwa iye, “Manga lamba wako, nyamula botolo la mafuta ili, ndipo pita ku Ramoti-giliyadi. ²Ukafika, ukapeze Yehu mwana wa Yehosafati, mwana wa Nimusi. Ulowe, umunyamule pakati pa anzake, ndipo umupititse ku chipinda chamʼkati.

³Utenge botolo la mafuta, uthire pamutu pake, ndipo unene kuti, ‘Atate wathu akuti: Ndakudzoza iwe kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.’ Utsekule chitseko, uthawe—usachedwe.”

⁴Choncho mnyamatayo, mtumiki wa mneneri, anapita ku Ramoti-giliyadi. ⁵Atafika, atsogoleri a nkhondo anali atakhala pamodzi. Iye anati, “Ndili ndi uthenga kwa inu, mtsogoleri.” Yehu anafunsa nati, “Kwa yani wa ife?” Iye anati, “Kwa inu, mtsogoleri.”

⁶Yehu ananyamuka, nalowa mʼkati. Mnyamatayo anathira mafuta pamutu pake, nati, “Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, akuti: ‘Ndakudzoza iwe kukhala mfumu ya anthu anga, ya Israeli. ⁷Ukanthe banja la Ahabu mbuye wako, kuti ndibwezere pa Yezebeli magazi a atumiki anga aneneri ndi a onse amene amanditumikira Ine. ⁸Banja lonse la Ahabu lidzafa. Ndidzachotsa kwa Ahabu mwamuna aliyense mu Israeli, kapolo kapena mfulu. ⁹Ndidzasandutsa banja la Ahabu kukhala ngati banja la Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, ndi ngati banja la Baasa mwana wa Ahiya. ¹⁰Koma za Yezebeli, agalu adzamudya mʼmunda wa Yezireeli, popanda wina womukwirira.’ ” Ndipo iye anatsekula chitseko, nathawa.

¹¹Yehu anatulukira kwa akuluakulu a mbuye wake. Mmodzi anafunsa nati, “Kodi zonse zili bwino? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wamisala uyu anadza kwa iwe?” Iye anati, “Mukumdziwa munthu uyu ndi mtundu wa mau amene amanena.”

¹²Iwo anati, “Umenewo ndi bodza! Utiuze.” Iye anati, “Iye anandiuza kuti: ‘Atate wathu akuti: Ndakudzoza iwe kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.’”

¹³Iwo anafulumira, aliyense natenga chovala chake, nachiyala pansi pake pa makwerero. Anaimba lipenga, nafuwula kuti, “Yehu ndi mfumu!”

Yehu Akantha Yoramu ndi Ahaziya

¹⁴Yehu mwana wa Yehosafati, mwana wa Nimusi, anapangana chiwembu cholimbana ndi Yoramu. Ndipo Yoramu pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse anali atateteza Ramoti-giliyadi kwa Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu, ¹⁵koma mfumu Yoramu anali atabwerera ku Yezireeli kuti achire ku zilonda zimene Aaramu anamuvulaza pamene ankamenyana ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya Aramu. Choncho Yehu anati, “Ngati mukuvomera, pasakhale wina wothawa mʼmzinda kupita kukafotokoza izi ku Yezireeli.” ¹⁶Yehu anakwera galeta lake, napita ku Yezireeli, kumene Yoramu anagona. Ndipo Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda anali atabwera kudzamuona. ¹⁷Pamene mlonda amene anali pa nsanja ya Yezireeli anaona gulu la Yehu likudza, anafuwula kuti, “Ndikuona gulu la anthu.” Yoramu analamula nati, “Itana wokwera pa hatchi. Umutume kuti akakumane nawo nʼkufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mtendere?’”

¹⁸Wokwera pa hatchi uja anapita kwa Yehu, nati, “Mfumu ikufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mtendere?’” Yehu anati, “Mtendere ulinanji ndi iwe? Tsata kumbuyo kwanga.” Mlonda anafotokoza kuti, “Wamthenga wafika kwa iwo koma sakubwerera.”

¹⁹Mfumu inatuma wokwera pa hatchi wachiwiri. Iye anafika kwa iwo, nati, “Mfumu ikufunsa kuti, kodi mtendere?” Yehu anayankha nati, “Mtendere ulinanji ndi iwe? Tsata kumbuyo kwanga.”

²⁰Mlonda anafotokoza kuti, “Wafika kwa iwo koma sakubwerera. Kuyendetsa kwake kuli ngati kwa Yehu mwana wa Nimusi—iye amayendetsa ngati wamisala.”

²¹Yoramu analamula nati, “Konzani galeta langa.” Litakonzeka, Yoramu mfumu ya Israeli ndi Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda anatuluka, aliyense mʼgaleta lake, kukakumana ndi Yehu, nakumana naye pa munda wa Naboti wa ku Yezireeli.

²²Ataona Yehu, Yoramu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mtendere, Yehu?” Iye anayankha nati, “Mtendere wanji, pamene zachiwerewere zochuluka ndi zaufiti za amayi ako Yezebeli zikupitirirabe?”

²³Yoramu anatembenuka, nathawa, nafuwulira Ahaziya kuti, “Ndi chiwembu, Ahaziya!”

²⁴Yehu anakoka uta wake ndi mphamvu zake zonse, namukantha Yoramu pakati pa mapewa. Muvi unalasa mtima wake, ndipo iye anagwera mʼgaleta lake. ²⁵Yehu anauza mkulu wake Bidikara kuti, “Munyamule, numuponye mʼmunda wa Naboti wa ku Yezireeli. Kumbukira, pamene iwe ndi ine tinkakwera pamodzi kumbuyo kwa Ahabu atate wake, Atate wathu anamuyikira uneneri uwu:

²⁶‘Ndithudi ndinaona magazi a Naboti ndi magazi a ana ake dzulo, ati Atate wathu, ndipo ndidzakubwezera pa munda womwewu.’ Tsopano munyamule, numuponye mʼmunda uja, monga mmene mau a Atate wathu ananenera.”

²⁷Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda ataona izi, anathawa kutsata njira ya ku Beti-hagani. Yehu anamuthamangitsa, nalamula kuti, “Mumuwomberenso ameneyu!” Iwo anamukantha mʼgaleta lake pa chikweza cha ku Guri pafupi ndi Ibuleamu, koma iye anathawira ku Megido, nafera komweko. ²⁸Atumiki ake anamutenga mʼgaleta kupita naye ku Yerusalemu, namukwirira mʼmanda ake pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu Mzinda wa Davide. ²⁹(Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, Ahaziya anakhala mfumu ya Yuda.).

Mau a Atate Wathu Otsutsa Yezebeli

³⁰Yehu anafika ku Yezireeli. Yezebeli atamva, anapaka maso ake utoto, nakonza tsitsi lake, nasuzumira pa zenera. ³¹Pamene Yehu amalowa pa chipata, iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi mtendere, iwe Zimuri, wopha mbuye wako?” ^a a v31 Yezebeli akunyoza Yehu pomutcha “Zimuri”—mkulu wa nkhondo amene anapha mfumu yake kuti alande mpando waufumu wa Israeli, kenaka nafa mʼmasiku owerengeka chabe; motero akumutcha Yehu wopanduka amene adzawonongeka ndithu.

³²Iye anakweza maso ake kuyangʼana pa zenera, nafuwula kuti, “Ndani ali nane? Ndani?” Adindo awiri kapena atatu anasuzumira kumuyangʼana.

³³Yehu anati, “Muponyeni pansi!” Choncho anamuponya pansi, ndipo magazi ake ena anawaza pa khoma ndi pa akavalo pamene ankamupondaponda.
