12 Mu chaka cha 7 cha ulamuliru waku Yehu,+ Yehowashi+ wanguja fumu ndipu wangulamuliya kwa vyaka 40 ku Yerusalemu. Anyina ŵenga a Zibiya a ku Beresheba.+
2 Yehowashi wangulutirizga kuchita cho ntchakwenere pa masu paku Yehova mu mazuŵa ngosi ngo wasembi Yehoyiyada wamupaskanga ulongozgi.
3 Chinanga kuti venga viyo, malu ngapachanya+ ngangutuzgikamu cha, ndipu ŵanthu angulutirizga kupereka sembi kweniso sembi za josi pamalu ngenanga.
4 Yehowashi wangukambiya asembi kuti: “Toni ndalama zosi zo ŵanthu apereka kunyumba yaku Yehova nge sembi zakupaturika.+ Ndalama zenizi zije zo munthu weyosi walayizga kuti waperekengi,+ zo munthu wapereka nge msonkhu wa munthu weyosi, kweniso zo munthu weyosi wasimikiza mumtima waki kuti wapereki kunyumba yaku Yehova.+
5 Asembi akalondi ŵija ndalama zenizi ku ŵanthu wo aperekengi,* ndipu azigwiriskiyi ntchitu pakunozga nyumba. Anozgi peposi po pakhumbika kunozgeka.”*+
6 Chichifika chaka cha 23 cha ulamuliru wa Fumu Yehowashi, asembi ŵenga ŵechendanozgi nyumba.+
7 Sonu Fumu Yehowashi yingudana wasembi Yehoyiyada+ ndipuso asembi anyaki ndipu yingukamba kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli muleka kunozga nyumba? Sonu muleki kuto ndalama ku ŵanthu wo apereka. Pijapija asani mukhumba kunozga nyumba ndipu muzitongi.”+
8 Mwaviyo asembi angukoliyana kuti aleki kuto ndalama zinyaki ku ŵanthu, kweniso kuti udindu wakunozga nyumba ungajanga so mu manja mwawu cha.
9 Sonu wasembi Yehoyiyada wanguto bokosi,+ wangulitolo pachanya ndipu wanguliŵika pafupi ndi guŵa la sembi, kumaryi kwa khomu lakuselere munyumba yaku Yehova. Mwenumu ndimu asembi wo ateŵetiyanga nge alonda a pakhomu aŵikanga ndalama zosi zo ŵanthu azanga nazu kunyumba yaku Yehova.+
10 Asani awona kuti mubokosi mwe ndalama zinandi, mlembi wa fumu ndipuso wasembi mura azanga ndi kutuzgamu* ndalama zo ŵanthu aza nazu kunyumba yaku Yehova kweniso aziŵerenganga.+
11 Pavuli paki, ndalama zo aziŵerenga aziperekanga ku ŵanthu wo angusankhika kuti awoneriyengi ntchitu yo yagwirikanga pa nyumba yaku Yehova. Ŵanthu ŵenaŵa ndiwu alipiranga makalipentala kweniso wo agwiranga ntchitu yakuzenga panyumba yaku Yehova.+
12 Yiwu alipiranga so ŵanthu wo asemanga mya kweniso wo acheketanga mya. Agulanga so mathabwa ndi mya yakusema yakunozge nyumba yaku Yehova. Ndalama zenizi ndizu so alipiriyanga chechosi cho chakhumbikanga pakunozga nyumba.
13 Kweni pa ndalama zosi zo ŵanthu anguza nazu kunyumba yaku Yehova, pengavi zo angugwiriskiya ntchitu kuti apangiyi mabeseni ngasiliva, vakuzimwiya nyali, mbali zabakuli, mbata,*+ kweniso chinthu chechosi chagolidi pamwenga chasiliva cha munyumba yaku Yehova.+
14 Ndalama zenizi aziperekanga ku ŵanthu wo agwiranga ntchitu pe, ndipu azigwiriskiyanga ntchitu pakunozga nyumba yaku Yehova.
15 Ŵanthu wo apaskikanga ndalama kuti alipiri antchitu, afumbikanga cha kuti akonkhoski mo ndalama zayende, chifukwa ŵenga akugomezgeka.+
16 Kweni ndalama za sembi za mulandu+ kweniso za sembi za ubudi anguza nazu cha kunyumba yaku Yehova chifukwa zenga za asembi.+
17 Penga pa nyengu yeniyi po Hazayeli+ fumu ya ku Siriya wanguza kuzichita nkhondu ndi tawuni ya Gati,+ ndipu Hazayeli wangulonda tawuni yeniyi. Pavuli paki wanguŵanaŵana kuti wayukiyi* Yerusalemu.+
18 Yehowashi fumu ya ku Yuda wati wavwa ivi, wanguto vakupereka vosi vakupaturika vo Yehosafati, Yehoramu kweniso Ahaziya mafumu nga ku Yuda wo ŵenga apapi ŵaki akali anguvitowesa, wanguto so vakupereka vaki vakupaturika kweniso golidi yosi yo wenga muvipinda vakusungamu chuma munyumba yaku Yehova ndipuso munyumba ya fumu,* ndipu wanguvitumiza kwaku Hazayeli fumu ya ku Siriya.+ Mwaviyo Hazayeli wanguleka kuyukiya Yerusalemu.
19 Mbiri yosi yaku Yehowashi kweniso vosi vo wanguchita, asi vikulembeka mubuku la mbiri ya mu nyengu ya mafumu nga ku Yuda?
20 Kweni ateŵeti ŵaki angukoliyana kuti amunozge chiŵembu.+ Yiwu angubaya Yehowashi panyumba ya ku Chimbumira,*+ pafupi ndi msewu wo uluta ku Sila.
