Samariya Isagwa m'manja mwa Asiriya

⁶Mu caka cacipfemba ca Hoseya, mambo wa Asiriya akwata Samariya, mbatenga Aizarayeli ku ukapolo ku Asiriya, mbaakhazika ku Hala, pa Habori, nkulo wa Gozani, na m'mizinda ya Mediya.

⁷Pyonsene pyenepi pyacitika thangwi Aizarayeli adadawira Baba wathu, ule adaabulusa ku Ijitu, pantsi pa manja a Farau, mambo wa Ijitu, mbalambira milungu inango, ⁸mbatowera miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu idathamangisa Baba wathu patsogolo pawo, na miyambo idayambisa amambo a Izarayeli. ⁹Aizarayeli acita mwakubisika pinthu pyakuipa kuna Baba wathu, mbamanga mbuto zakulambira padzulu m'mizinda yawo yonsene, kutomera pa nsanza wa alonda mpaka pa nzinda wakukhonthiwa. ¹⁰Iwo akhazikisa miala yakulambira na miti ya Axera pa phiri yonsene yakulapha na pantsi pa muti onsene wauwisi. ¹¹Pa mbuto zonsene zakulambira padzulu iwo apisa ubani, ninga mitundu ya anthu idathamangisa Baba wathu patsogolo pawo. Acita pyakuipa pidacitisa Baba wathu kuipirwa.

¹⁴Mbwenye iwo akhonda kubvesera. Aumisa nkhosi zawo ninga makholo awo, adakhonda kukhulupira Baba wathu. ¹⁵Iwo akhonda mitemo yace, cibverano cidacita Iye na makholo awo, na macenjezo ace. Atowera mafano akukhonda kufunika mbakhala anthu akusowa basa, mbatowezera mitundu ya anthu yakuazungulira, idaakhondesa Baba wathu kuitowezera. ¹⁶Iwo asiya matongero onsene a Baba wathu, mbacita mafano awiri a ana a ng'ombe akutengulwa na utale, na muti wa Axera, mbagodamira nyenyezi zonsene za kudzulu, mbatumikira Baala. ¹⁷Apisa ana awo acimuna na acikazi ninga nsembe, acita kuwombeza na ung'anga, mbagulisa ekhene toera kucita pyakuipa pamaso pa Baba wathu, mbancitisa kuipirwa. ¹⁸Na tenepo Baba wathu, mbakhaipirwa kakamwe na Izarayeli, aabulusa pamaso pace. Pasala basi dzindza ya Yuda, ¹⁹Ayuda ene nkhabe kukoya matongero a Baba wathu, mbwenye atowera miyambo ya Izarayeli. ²⁰Na tenepo Baba wathu akhonda mbumba yonsene ya Izarayeli, aapasa nyatwa, mbaapereka m'manja mwa anyakupanda mpaka pidaataya Iye patsogolo pace. ²¹Baba wathu pidabvungula Iye Izarayeli ku nyumba ya Dhavidhi, iwo asankhula Yerobhowamu mwana wa Nebhati toera akhale mambo wawo. Yerobhowamu athamangisa Izarayeli toera aleke kutowera Baba wathu, mbaacitisa kucita madawo makulu. ²²Aizarayeli apitiriza m'madawo onsene adacita Yerobhowamu; iwo nee asiya pyenepi, ²³mpaka Baba wathu pidabulusa Iye Izarayeli pamaso pace, ninga mudalongera Iye kubulukira mwa atumiki ace onsene aprofeta. Na tenepo Izarayeli abuluswa n'dziko yawo mbaendeswa ku ukapolo ku Asiriya, mbasala kweneko mpaka lero.

Alendo Asakhala M'dziko

²⁴Mambo wa Asiriya abweresa anthu kubulukira ku Bhabhuloni, Kuta, Ava, Hamati, na Sefarivaimu, mbaakhazika m'mizinda ya Samariya m'mbuto mwa Aizarayeli. Iwo atonga Samariya mbakhala m'mizinda yace. ²⁵Mu ndzidzi udatoma iwo kukhala kweneko, iwo nee akhalambira Baba wathu; na tenepo Iye atumiza nkhalamu pakati pawo zidapha anango awo. ²⁶Iwo apanga mambo wa Asiriya kuti: “Mitundu ya anthu idatengesa imwe mbaiendesa m'mizinda ya Samariya nkhabe kudziwa pinafuna mulungu wa dziko ineyi. Na tenepo iye atumiza nkhalamu pakati pawo, zinaapha, thangwi iwo nkhabe kudziwa pinafuna mulungu wa dziko ineyi.”

²⁷Mambo wa Asiriya atonga kuti: “Bwereserani nyantsembe m'bodzi wa ale mudatengesa imwe ku Samariya. Mbaende akakhale kweneko, mbapfundzisa anthu pinafuna mulungu wa dziko ineyi.”

²⁸Na tenepo m'bodzi wa anyantsembe adatengwa ku Samariya aenda kakhala ku Bheteli, mbaapfundzisa kuti analambira tani Baba wathu.

²⁹Mbwenye mutundu onsene wa anthu ucita milungu yawo, mbaiikha m'nyumba zakulambira za pa mbuto zakudzulu zidamanga Asamariya, mutundu onsene wa anthu m'mizinda mudakhala iwo. ³⁰Anthu akubulukira ku Bhabhuloni acita Sukoti-bhenoti, a ku Kuta acita Nerigali, a ku Hamati acita Axima, ³¹Aava acita Nibhazi na Taritaki, Asefarivaimu apisa ana awo pamoto ninga nsembe kuna Adhrameleki na Anameleki, milungu ya Sefarivaimu. ³²Iwo akhalambira Baba wathu, mbwenye asankhula pakati pawo anyantsembe a mitundu yonsene a mbuto zakulambira, adakhacita nsembe m'nyumba zenezi m'mbuto mwawo. ³³Iwo akhalambira Baba wathu, mbwenye akhatumikirambo milungu yawo ene, mwakubverana na miyambo ya mitundu ya anthu idabuluswa iwo. ³⁴Mpaka lero iwo asakoya miyambo yawo yakale. Nkhabe kulambira Baba wathu, nee asatowera mitemo, matongero, mwambo, na pitsogolero pidapasa Baba wathu ana a Yakobe, ule adacemerwa Izarayeli.

³⁵Baba wathu pidacita Iye cibverano na iwo, aapanga tenepa: “Lekani kulambira, kugodamira, kutumikira, peno kucitira nsembe milungu inango. ³⁶Mbwenye Baba wanu, ule adakubulusani ku Ijitu na mphambvu zikulu na nkono wakufungulwa—lambirani Iye. Godamirani Iye; perekani nsembe kuna Iye. ³⁷Citani mphole ndzidzi onsene toera kukoya mitemo, matongero, mwambo, na pitsogolero pidakulemberani Iye. Lekani kulambira milungu inango. ³⁸Lekani kuduwala cibverano cidacita Ine na imwe, nee mulambire milungu inango. ³⁹Mbwenye lambirani Baba wanu, Iye anadzakupulumusani m'manja mwa anyamalwa anu onsene.”

⁴⁰Mbwenye iwo nee abvesera, mbapitiriza na miyambo yawo yakale. ⁴¹Mitundu ya anthu iyi ikhalambira Baba wathu, mbwenye ikhatumikirambo mafano yawo. Ana awo na adzukulu awo asacita ninga mudacitira makholo awo, mpaka lero.
