Kuphedwa kwa Banja la Ahabu
1Tsono Ahabu anali ndi ana aamuna 70 a ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehu analemba makalata nawatumiza ku Samariya kwa atsogoleri a mu mzinda wa Yezireeli, kwa akuluakulu ndiponso kwa amene ankalera ana a Ahabu, nati, 2“Inu mukangolandira kalatayi, popeza ana a mbuye wanu ali ndi inu ndiponso muli ndi magaleta ndi akavalo, mzinda wotetezedwa ndi zida zankhondo, 3sankhani mwana wa mbuye wanu amene ndi wooneka bwino ndiponso woyenera, mulowetseni ufumu wa abambo ake. Kenaka muchite nkhondo kuteteza nyumba ya mbuye wanu.”
4Koma anthuwo anachita mantha kwambiri ndipo anati, “Taonani, mafumu awiri sanathe kulimbana naye, nanga ife tingathe bwanji?”
5Choncho woyangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, bwanamkubwa wa mzinda, akuluakulu ena ndiponso olera anawo anatumiza uthenga uwu kwa Yehu: “Ife ndife atumiki anu ndipo tidzachita chilichonse chomwe mutiwuze. Sitidzasankha munthu wina aliyense kukhala mfumu ndipo chitani chimene mukuganiza kuti nʼchabwino kwa inu.”
6Ndipo Yehu anawalembera kalata yachiwiri yonena kuti, “Ngati inu muli mbali yanga ndi kuti mudzandimvera, mudule mitu ya ana a mbuye wanu ndipo mubwere nayo kwa ine ku Yezireeli mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino.”
Tsono ana a mfumu onse 70 anali pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a mu mzindamo, amene ankawalera. 7Kalatayo itafika, anthuwo anatenga ana a mfumu 70 aja ndi kuwapha onse. Anayika mitu yawo mʼmadengu ndi kuyitumiza ku Yezireeli kwa Yehu. 8Mthenga uja atafika, anamuwuza Yehu kuti, “Abweretsa mitu ya ana a mfumu.”
Ndipo Yehu analamula kuti, “Unjikani mituyo mʼmilu iwiri pa chipata cha mzinda ndipo ikhale pamenepo mpaka mmawa.”
9Mmawa mwake Yehu anatuluka. Iye anayimirira pamaso pa anthu onse ndipo anati, “Inu ndinu osalakwa. Ndine amene ndinachita chiwembu mbuye wanu ndi kumupha, koma kodi wapha anthu onsewa ndani? 10Koma dziwani tsono, kuti mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kunena za banja la Ahabu sadzapita padera. Yehova wachita chimene analonjeza kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Eliya.” 11Choncho Yehu anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Yezireeli, pamodzinso ndi akuluakulu ake onse, abwenzi ake ndiponso ansembe ake, sanasiyeko ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
12Kenaka Yehu ananyamuka kupita ku Samariya. Atafika pa malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa, 13Yehu anakumana ndi abale ena a Ahaziya mfumu ya Yuda nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndinu yani?”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndife abale ake a Ahaziya, ndipo tabwera kulonjera banja la mfumu ndi ana a mfumukazi.”
14Yehu analamula kuti, “Atengeni amoyo!” Choncho anawatenga amoyo ndipo anakawaphera ku chitsime cha ku malo otchedwa Beti-Ekedi wa abusa; anthu onse 42. Iye sanasiyepo ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
15Yehu atachoka kumeneko anakumana ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, amene amabwera kudzakumana naye. Yehu anamulonjera nati kwa iye, “Kodi mtima wako uli bwino monga momwe mtima wanga ugwirizana nawo mtima wako?”
Yehonadabu anayankha kuti, “Inde ndikugwirizana nawe.”
Yehu anati, “Ngati ndi choncho, gwire dzanja.” Ndipo iye anaterodi, ndipo Yehu anamugwira dzanja namulowetsa mʼgaleta lake. 16Yehu anati, “Tiye kuno uwone mmene ndikudziperekera kwa Yehova.” Ndipo anayenda naye mʼgaleta mwake.
17Yehu atafika ku Samariya, anapha onse amene anatsala a mʼbanja la Ahabu ku Samariya; anawawonongeratu potsata mawu a Yehova amene anayankhula kudzera mwa Eliya.
Aneneri a Baala Aphedwa
18Ndipo Yehu anasonkhanitsa anthu onse pamodzi nawawuza kuti, “Ahabu ankatumikira Baala pangʼono chabe; Yehu adzamutumikira kwambiri. 19Tsopano itanani aneneri a Baala onse, atumiki ake onse ndi ansembe ake onse. Pasapezeke ndi mmodzi yemwe wotsala chifukwa ine ndidzapereka nsembe yayikulu kwa Baala. Aliyense amene alephere kubwera adzaphedwa.” Koma Yehu anachita zimenezi mwachinyengo ndi cholinga choti awononge atumiki onse a Baala.
20Yehu anati, “Itanitsani msonkhano wodzalemekeza Baala.” Ndipo analengeza za msonkhanowo. 21Pamenepo Yehu anatumiza mawu ku dziko lonse la Israeli ndipo atumiki onse a Baala anabwera; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsala. Iwo anadzaza nyumba ya Baala. Nyumbayo inadzaziratu kuchokera ku khoma lina mpaka ku khoma lina. 22Ndipo Yehu anawuza munthu wosunga mikanjo kuti, “Bweretsa mikanjo yokwanira atumiki onse a Baala.” Ndipo iye anabweretsa mikanjoyo.
23Kenaka Yehu ndi Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu analowa mʼnyumba ya Baala. Yehu anawawuza atumiki a Baala kuti, “Yangʼanitsitsani ndipo muone kuti muno musapezeke atumiki a Yehova, koma mukhale atumiki okhawo a Baala.” 24Choncho Yehu analowa kukapereka nsembe zina ndi nsembe zopsereza. Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yehu atayika anthu 80 kunja kwa nyumbayo ndi chenjezo lakuti, “Ngati wina aliyense wa inu adzathawitsa wina aliyense wa anthu amene ndayika kuti muziwayangʼanira, munthu woteroyo adzaphedwa.”
25Yehu atangotsiriza kupereka nsembe yopsereza, analamula alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo kuti, “Lowani ndipo mukawaphe ndipo musalole kuti wina athawe.” Choncho iwo anawapha ndi lupanga. Alonda ndi akulu a ankhondo anaponya mitembo ya anthuwo panja ndipo anakalowa mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyumba ya Baala. 26Iwo anakatulutsa mwala wopatulika umene unali mʼnyumba ya Baala ndipo anawutentha. 27Anawononga mwala wopatulika wa Baala ndi kugwetsa nyumba ya Baala, ndipo anthu anayisandutsa chimbudzi mpaka lero lino.
28Motero Yehu anawononga Baala mu Israeli. 29Koma Yehuyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli kupembedza mafano a golide a ana angʼombe ku Beteli ndi ku Dani.
30Yehova anati kwa Yehu, “Chifukwa wachita bwino pokwaniritsa kuchita zabwino pamaso panga ndipo wachitira banja la Ahabu zonse zimene zinali mʼmaganizo anga, zidzukulu zako zidzakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.” 31Komatu Yehu sanasamalire kusunga lamulo la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ndi mtima wake wonse. Iyeyo sanaleke machimo a Yeroboamu amene anachimwitsa nawo Israeli.
32Masiku amenewo Yehova anayamba kuchepetsa dziko la Israeli. Hazaeli anagonjetsa Aisraeli, 33kuyambira kummawa kwa Yorodani, dziko lonse la Giliyadi (chigawo cha Gadi, Rubeni ndi Manase), kuchokera ku Aroeri pafupi ndi chigwa cha Arinoni kudutsa Giliyadi mpaka ku Basani.
34Ntchito zina za Yehu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?
35Yehu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake ku Samariya. Ndipo Yehowahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake. 36Yehu analamulira Aisraeli ku Samariya zaka 28.
Ezadde lya Akabu Littibwa
110:1 a 1Bk 13:32 b Bal 8:30 c 1Bk 21:1 d nny 5Mu Samaliya waaliyo batabani ba Akabu nsanvu. Awo Yeeku n’awandiika amabaluwa n’agaweereza e Samaliya10:1 Samaliya kye kyali ekibuga ekikulu eky’Obwakabaka obw’omu Bukiikakkono, okuva mu biro bya kabaka Omuli (1Bk 16:24). eri abakungu b’e Yezuleeri, n’eri abakadde ab’ekibuga, n’eri abakuza b’abaana ba Akabu. N’awandiika nti, 2“Amangwago ng’ebbaluwa eno ebatuuseeko, ng’abaana ba mukama wammwe bwe bali nammwe, ate nga mulina amagaali n’embalaasi, era n’ekibuga kiriko enkomera n’ebyokulwanyisa, 3mulonde ku batabani ba mukama wammwe asinga obulungi, ng’asaanira, mumuteeke ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya kitaawe, mulwanirire ennyumba ya mukama wammwe.” 4Naye ekyo ne bakitya nnyo, ne boogera nti, “Obanga bakabaka ababiri10:4 Bakabaka ababiri aboogerwako wano be ba Yolaamu ne Akaziya (9:22-28). tebaayinza kumwesimbamu, ffe tunaayinza tutya?”
510:5 Yos 9:8; 1Bk 20:4, 32Awo eyavunaanyizibwanga ebyolubiri, n’omukulembeze ow’ekibuga, n’abakuza ab’abaana ne baweereza obubaka eri Yeeku nti, “Ffe tuli baddu bo era tunaakola byonna by’onootulagira. Tetujja kufuula muntu n’omu kabaka; gw’oba okola ky’olowooza nga kye kisinga obulungi.”
6Awo Yeeku n’abawandiikira ebbaluwa eyookubiri ng’agamba nti, “Obanga muli ku lwange era nga muŋŋondera, mutemeeko emitwe gy’abatabani ba mukama wammwe, mugindetere e Yezuleeri, mugintuseeko enkya mu kiseera nga kino.”
Abalangira ensanvu baabeeranga n’abakuza baabwe abaali abaami abakulu mu kibuga ekyo. 710:7 a 1Bk 21:21 b 2Sa 4:8Ebbaluwa bwe yabatuukako, ne bakwata abalangira ensanvu bonna ne babatta, ne bateeka emitwe gyabwe mu bisero, mwe baagiweerereza eri Yeeku e Yezuleeri. 8Omubaka n’agenda n’agamba Yeeku nti, “Emitwe gy’abalangira bagireese.” Yeeku n’alagira nti, “Mugituume entuumo bbiri ku mulyango gwa wankaaki okutuusa enkya.” 9Yeeku n’afuluma, n’ayimirira mu maaso g’abantu bonna n’ayogera nti, “Mmwe temuliiko musango, era nze nasalira mukama wange olukwe ne mutta, naye ani asse bano bonna? 1010:10 a 2Bk 9:7-10 b 1Bk 21:29Kale mukitegeere nga tewali kigambo kya Mukama, kye yayogera ku nnyumba ya Akabu ekitalituukirira, kubanga Mukama akoze ekyo kye yayogerera mu muddu we Eriya.” 1110:11 a Kos 1:4 b nny 14; Yob 18:19Bw’atyo Yeeku n’atta ab’enju ya Akabu bonna abaali basigaddewo mu Yezuleeri; n’atta n’abakungu be, ne mikwano gye enfirabulago, ne bakabona be, obutalekaawo n’omu.
12Awo Yeeku n’asitula n’ayolekera Samaliya. N’asisinkana baganda ba Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda mu kkubo okumpi n’ennyumba eyasalirwangamu endiga ebyoya, 1310:13 a 2Bk 8:24, 29; 2By 22:8 b 1Bk 2:19n’ababuuza nti, “Mmwe b’ani?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuli baganda ba Akaziya, era tuzze okulamusa abaana ba kabaka n’abaana ba nnamasole.” 14N’alagira nti, “Mubakwate.” Ne babakwata, abasajja amakumi ana mu babiri bonna ne babattira kumpi n’obunnya obw’ennyumba gye baasalirangamu endiga ebyoya. N’atalekaawo n’omu.
1510:15 a Yer 35:6, 14-19 b 1By 2:55; Yer 35:2 c Ezr 10:19; Ez 17:18Eyo bwe yavaayo, n’asanga Yekonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu10:15 Abalekabu bazzukulu ba Lekabu, ate era bazzukulu ba Yesero; baawangaala okutuusa mu biro bya Yeremiya (Yer 35:6, 8). Baanyiikira nnyo okusinza Mukama ate nga balunzi ng’ajja okumusisinkana. Yeeku n’amulamusa, n’amubuuza nti, “Ossa kimu nange, nga nze bwe nzisa ekimu naawe?”
Yekonadabu n’addamu nti, “Weewaawo.” Yeeku n’amugamba nti, “Obanga weewaawo, mpa omukono gwo.” N’amuwa omukono gwe, Yeeku n’amulinnyisa gy’ali mu ggaali. 1610:16 Kbl 25:13; 1Bk 19:10Yeeku n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu tugende ffembi olabe obunyiikivu bwange eri Mukama.” Awo n’atambulira wamu naye mu ggaali lye.
1710:17 2Bk 9:8Awo Yeeku bwe yatuuka e Samaliya, n’atta bonna abaali basigaddewo ab’omu nnyumba ya Akabu, n’abazikiriza ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogera eri Eriya bwe kyali.
Okuttibwa kw’Abaweereza ba Baali
1810:18 Bal 2:11; 1Bk 16:31-32Awo Yeeku n’akuŋŋaanya abantu bonna, n’abagamba nti, “Akabu yaweerezaako Baali ebbanga ttono naye Yeeku anaamuweereza okusingawo. 1910:19 1Bk 18:19; 22:6Kale nno muyite bannabbi bonna aba Baali, bakabona be bonna, n’abaweereza be bonna, waleme okubulawo n’omu kubanga ŋŋenda okuwaayo ssaddaaka enkulu ennyo eri Baali, ne buli ataabeerewo alittibwa.” Naye okukola ekyo, Yeeku yasala lukwe alyoke azikirize abaasinzanga Baali.
2010:20 Kuv 32:5; Yo 1:14Yeeku n’alagira nti, “Mukole olukuŋŋaana olutukuvu eri Baali.” Ne balulangirira. 21Awo n’aweereza obubaka okubuna Isirayiri yonna, abaweereza ba Baali bonna ne bajja, n’okusigala n’etasigala muntu n’omu. Ne bakuŋŋaanira mu ssabo lya Baali10:21 Akabu ye yazimba essabo lya Baali (1Bk 16:32), ne lijjulira ddala okuva ku luuyi olumu okutuukira ddala ku luuyi olulala. 22Yeeku n’agamba eyavunaanyizibwanga ebyambalo byabwe nti, “Leetera abaweereza ba Baali bonna ebyambalo.” Bonna n’abaleetera ebyambalo. 23Awo Yeeku ne Yekonadabu mutabani wa Lekabu ne bagenda mu ssabo lya Baali. Yeeku n’agamba abaweereza ba Baali nti, “Mwetegereze nnyo mulabe nga mu mmwe temuliimu muweereza wa Mukama, wabula abasinza Baali bokka.” 2410:24 1Bk 20:39Ne bayingira okuwaayo ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa. Naye Yeeku yali atadde abasajja kinaana ebweru w’essabo, ng’abalabudde nti, “Omuntu yenna anaataako n’omu ku basajja abo be ntadde mu mikono gyammwe, anaaliwa n’obulamu bwe ye.”
2510:25 a Kuv 22:20; 2Bk 11:18 b 1Bk 18:40Amangwago bwe yamala okuwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’alagira abaserikale n’abaami nti, “Muyingire mubatte; waleme okuwonawo n’omu.” Bwe baamala okubatta n’ekitala, ne basuula emirambo gyabwe ebweru, ne bayingira munda mu ssabo ekkulu erya Baali. 2610:26 1Bk 14:23Ne bafulumya empagi ezaali mu ssabo lya Baali, ne bazookya. 2710:27 1Bk 16:32Ne bamenyaamenya empagi ya Baali, ne bamenyaamenya ne ssabo lya Baali, ne balifuula kabuyonjo ne leero.
2810:28 1Bk 19:17Awo Yeeku n’amalirawo ddala okusinza kwa Baali mu Isirayiri. 2910:29 a 1Bk 12:30 b 1Bk 12:28-29 c 1Bk 12:32Naye teyaleka kukola ebibi ebya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, bye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri, ng’okusinza ennyana eza zaabu ezaali mu Beseri ne mu Ddaani.

Era teyakyuka okuva mu kkubo ery’ebibi erya Yerobowaamu, lye yayonoonyesa Isirayiri.
3210:32 a 2Bk 13:25 b 1Bk 19:17; 2Bk 8:12Mu biro ebyo Mukama n’atandika okukendeeza ensalo za Isirayiri. Kazayeeri n’abawangula ng’atandikira 3310:33 Kbl 32:34; Ma 2:36; Bal 11:26; Is 17:2ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mu nsi ey’e Gireyaadi mu bitundu eby’Abagaadi, n’Abalewubeeni, n’Abamanase okuva ku Aloweri okuliraana ekiwonvu kya Alunoni n’okuyita e Gireyaadi okutuuka e Basani.
3410:34 1Bk 15:31Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyabaawo mu mirembe gya Yeeku, n’ebintu byonna ebikulu bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe egya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
35Yeeku n’afa, n’aziikibwa mu Samaliya, Yekoyakaazi mutabani we n’amusikira. 36Ebbanga Yeeku lye yafuga Isirayiri mu Samaliya lyali emyaka amakumi abiri mu munaana.
