Amambo Wakutoma 20:1-43
20 Bheni-Adhadhi+ Mambo wa ku Sirya+ acemeresa anyankhondo ace onsene pabodzi na amambo 32 akuti akhali na makavalo na ngolo za nkhondo; iye aenda ku Samariya,+ azungulira+ nzinda mbamenyana na anthu a mu nzinda unoyu.
2 Buluka penepo, iye atumiza mphangwa kuna Akabu,+ Mambo wa Izraeli wakuti akhali mu nzinda, mbampanga: “Bheni-Adhadhi alonga tenepa:
3 ‘Parata na ouro yako ndi yanga, pontho akazako akubalika na anako amuna ndi anga.’”
4 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli atawira: “Mbapicitike ninga mudalongera imwe mbuyanga mambo, ine ndine wanu pabodzi na pinthu pyanga pyonsene.”+
5 Mukupita kwa ndzidzi ale adatumwa, abwerera mbalonga: “Bheni-Adhadhi alonga tenepa: ‘Ine ndatumiza mphangwa izi kuna iwe: “Unadzandipasa parata yako, ouro yako, akazako na anako amuna.”
6 Mbwenye mangwana pa ndzidzi ninga uno, ndinadzatuma atumiki anga toera abwere kudzasaka mwadidi n’nyumba mwako na n’nyumba za atumiki ako, pontho iwo anabulusa pinthu pyako pyonsene pyadidi, mbapikwata.’”
7 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli acemeresa akulu onsene a dziko ineyi mbaapanga: “Ndaphata miyendo, bveserani mwadidi. Onani basi, mamuna uyu asafuna kutibweresera nyatwa, iye andiphemba toera ndimpase akazanga, ananga amuna, parata yanga na ouro yanga, mbwenye ine nee ndan’khondera.”
8 Penepo akulu a mbumba na mbumba yonsene, ampanga: “Lekani kumbvera, pontho lekani kutsalakana pidalonga iye.”
9 Natenepa iye apanga ale adatumwa na Bheni-Adhadhi: “Ndokoni mukapange mbuyanga mambo kuti: ‘Ine ntumiki wace ndinacita pyonsene pidalonga iye pakutoma, mbwenye nee ndinacita pidalonga iye cincino.’” Buluka penepo ale adatumwa aenda kuna Bheni-Adhadhi, mbampanga mphangwa zenezi.
10 Natenepa Bheni-Adhadhi atuma anthu toera akampange tenepa: “Alungu mbanditcunyuse kakamwe, pingakwanisika kuti pfumbi ya ku Samariya idzale n’djanja ya m’bodzi na m’bodzi wa anyankhondo anga!”
11 Mambo wa Izraeli antawira: “Mpangeni kuti: ‘Munthu mbadzati kumenya nkhondo, nkhabe kupasika mbiri ninga awina kale nkhondo.’”+
12 Pidabva iye ntawiro unoyu, mu ndzidzi ukhamwa iye na amambo m’misasa yawo, iye apanga atumiki ace: “Khunganyikani toera kumenya nkhondo!” Natenepa iwo akhunganyika toera kuenda kamenya nkhondo mu nzinda.
13 Penepo mprofeta afendedzera Akabu,+ Mambo wa Izraeli mbampanga: “Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova: ‘Uli kuona nsoka uyu ukulu wa anyankhondo? Lero ine ndinaupereka m’manja mwako, penepo iwe unadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova.’”+
14 Akabu abvundza: “Mbani anafuna imwe kuphatisira?” Iye atawira: “Yahova alonga tenepa: ‘Ndinadzaphatisira atumiki a atsogoleri a m’maprovinsya.’” Natenepa iye abvundza: “Mbani anafuna kutomesa nkhondo?” Iye atawira: “Ndiwe!”
15 Buluka penepo Akabu alengesa atumiki a atsogoleri a m’maprovinsya, iwo akhali 232; pidamala iye alengesambo anyankhondo onsene a Izraeli, iwo akhali 7.000.
16 Iwo abuluka mu nzinda namasikati mu ndzidzi wakuti Bheni-Adhadhi akhamwa mbaledzera m’misasa pabodzi na amambo 32 akuti akham’phedza.
17 Atumiki a atsogoleri a m’maprovinsya pidabuluka iwo mu nzinda, Bheni-Adhadhi atuma anthu toera aende kaone kuti ninji pinacitika, natenepa iwo abwerera mbampanga: “Kwabwera anthu adabuluka ku Samariya.”
18 Penepo iye alonga: “Khala iwo adzera ntendere peno nkhondo aphateni, mbwenye lekani kuapha.”
19 Mbwenye atumiki a atsogoleri a m’maprovinsya pabodzi na anyankhondo akhaatowera pidabuluka iwo mu nzinda,
20 iwo atoma kupha anyamalwa awo. Buluka penepo anyankhondo a ku Sirya athawa,+ Aizraeli mbaatowera, mbwenye Bheni-Adhadhi Mambo wa ku Sirya athawa na kavalo pabodzi na anyamakavalo anango.
21 Mbwenye mambo wa Izraeli apitiriza kupha anyamalwa akuti akhali pa makavalo na ale akhafamba na ngolo za nkhondo, pontho iye apha anthu azinji kakamwe a ku Sirya.
22 Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, mprofeta+ unango aenda kuna mambo wa Izraeli, mbampanga: “Ndokoni mukawangise nsoka wanu wa anyankhondo mbamunyerezera pinafuna imwe kucita,+ thangwi kutoma kwa caka cinafuna kudza* mambo wa ku Sirya anabwera kudzamenyana na imwe.”+
23 Atumiki a mambo wa ku Sirya, ampanga: “Mulungu wawo ndi Mulungu wa mapiri. Na thangwi ineyi, iwo atikunda. Mbwenye ife tingamenyana nawo pa mbuto yakusowa mapiri, tinaakunda.
24 Kusiyapo pyenepi, citani ipi: Bulusani amambo onsene+ pa mbuto zawo ninga akulu anyankhondo mbamuikha atsogoleri pa mbuto zenezi.
25 Buluka penepo gumanyani nsoka wa anyankhondo ninga udaluza ife, wakuti uli na numero ibodzi ene ya makavalo na ngolo za nkhondo. Mungamala, tendeni kamenyana nawo pa mbuto yakusowa mapiri, mwakukhonda penula ife tinawina.” Natenepa iye abvera uphungu wawo, mbacita pinthu mwakubverana na uphungu unoyu.
26 Pakutoma kwa caka,* Bheni-Adhadhi acemeresa anthu a ku Sirya mbaenda ku Afeki+ toera akamenyane na Aizraeli.
27 Mbumba ya Izraeli yacemeresanambo mbipaswa cakudya, buluka penepo yaenda kuna iwo. Mbumba ya Izraeli pidamanga iyo misasa patsogolo pawo, iyo ikhaoneka ninga mikumbi miwiri ming’ono ya mbuzi, mbwenye anyankhondo a ku Sirya akhadadzala mucisa ceneci consene.+
28 Ntumiki wa Mulungu wandimomwene afendedzera mambo wa Izraeli mbampanga: “Yahova alonga tenepa: ‘Nakuti anyankhondo a ku Sirya alonga kuti: “Yahova ndi Mulungu wa mapiri, tayu Mulungu wa m’mbuto zakusowa mapiri,” ine ndinadzapereka mwinji uyu onsene m’manja mwako,+ pontho imwe munadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova.’”+
29 Misoka ineyi miwiri yapitiriza m’misasa yawo mbikayang’anisana mu ntsiku zinomwe, mbwenye pa ntsiku yacinomwe nkhondo yatoma. Mbumba ya Izraeli yapha anyankhondo* a ku Sirya akukwana 100.000 pa ntsiku ibodzi.
30 Ale adasala athawira mu nzinda wa Afeki.+ Mbwenye amuna anewa adasala akukwana 27.000 agwerwa na mpanda. Bheni-Adhadhi athawirambo mu nzinda unoyu, mbabisala n’kwartu yankati.
31 Natenepa atumiki ace ampanga: “Onani, ife tabva kuti amambo a dzindza ya Izraeli ndi amambo antsisi kakamwe. Taphata miyendo, tendeni timange masakha ncunu mwathu, timange nkhambala* m’misolo mwathu, mbatienda kaonana na mambo wa Izraeli. Panango iye nee anakuphani.”+
32 Penepo iwo amanga masakha ncunu mwawo, amanga nkhambala m’misolo mwawo, pontho iwo aenda kuna mambo wa Izraeli, mbampanga: “Ntumiki wanu Bheni-Adhadhi alonga tenepa: ‘Ndaphata miyendo, lekani kundipha.’” Iye atawira: “Aciri m’maso? Iye ndi m’bale wanga.”
33 Natenepa amuna anewa aona mafala anewa ninga cidzindikiro cadidi, mbanyerezera kuti mafalace akhali andimomwene. Na thangwi ineyi iwo alonga: “Bheni-Adhadhi ndi m’bale wanu.” Buluka penepo iye alonga: “Ndokoni mukankwate.” Bheni-Adhadhi abwera kuna Akabu, mbankwizisa mu ngolo yace ya nkhondo.
34 Bheni-Adhadhi ampanga: “Ine ndinakubwezerani mizinda idakwata babanga kuna babanu, pontho mangani misika* ku Dhamasku ninga pidacita babanga ku Samariya.”
Akabu atawira: “Mwakubverana na cibverano ici, ndinakusiyani toera muende.”
Natenepa Akabu acita cibverano na iye, mbansiya toera aende.
35 Mwakubverana na mafala a Yahova, m’bodzi wa ana a aprofeta,*+ apanga ndzace: “Ndaphata miyendo, ndimenye.” Mbwenye ndzace akhonda kum’menya.
36 Natenepa iye ampanga: “Nakuti iwe nee wabvera mafala a Yahova, ungabuluka pano unaphiwa na nkhalamu.” Pidabuluka iye, nkhalamu yabwera kuna iye, mbimupha.
37 Iye agumana mamuna unango, mbampanga: “Ndaphata miyendo, ndimenye.” Natenepa mamuna unoyu am’menya, mbam’phekesa.
38 Buluka penepo mprofeta amanga maso ace na nguwo toera akhonde kudzindikirwa, mbaenda kadikhira mambo mu nseu.
39 Mu ndzidzi ukhapita mambo, mprofeta akhuwira mambo mbalonga: “Ine ntumiki wanu ndikhali pakati pa nkhondo, natenepa mamuna m’bodzi abweresa mamuna unango, mbandipanga: ‘Onera mamuna uyu, iye angathawa, umaso wako unakhala pa mbuto ya umaso wace+ peno unadzalipa talento ibodzi* ya parata.’
40 Mu ndzidzi ukhadzudzumika ine ntumiki wanu na pinthu pinango, mamuna unoyu azambazika.” Mambo wa Izraeli ampanga: “Iwe unadzatongwa munjira ibodzi ene; walonga wekha.”
41 Natenepa iye abulusa mwakucimbiza nguwo ikhadamanga na iye maso ace, penepo mambo wa Izraeli adzindikira kuti mamuna unoyu akhali m’bodzi wa aprofeta.+
42 Iye ampanga: “Yahova alonga tenepa: ‘Nakuti wathawisa munthu adalonga ine kuti asafunika kuphiwa,+ m’mbuto mwa iye anafuna kufa ndiwe,+ m’mbuto mwa mbumba yace inafuna kufa ndi mbumba yako.’”+
43 Natenepa mambo wa Izraeli aenda kunyumba kwace ku Samariya,+ mbali wakuipirwa na wakutsukwala.
