6 Kweni Yerobowamu+ mwana waku Nebati, mteŵeti waku Solomoni mwana waku Davidi wangusoka ndi kugarukiya ambuyaki.+
7 Ndipu ŵanthu wo asoŵanga vakuchita kweniso abwekabweka angulutirizga kuwungana kwaku iyu. Yiwu anguja ndi nthazi kuluska Rehobowamu mwana waku Solomoni. Pa nyengu yeniyi Rehobowamu wenga munamana, wenga ndi mantha ndipu watingi wafiskengi cha kulimbana nawu.

9 Asi mukudikisa asembi aku Yehova+ wo mbana aku Aroni ndipuso Alevi, ndipu mukujisankhiya asembi nge mo ŵanthu a muvyaru vinyaki achitiya?+ Weyosi yo waza* ndi tholi kweniso mbereri zinthulumi 7, waja wasembi wa angoza wo mbachiuta cha.

11 Yiwu apereka sembi zakupiriza kwaku Yehova mlenji wewosi kweniso mazulu ngengosi+ limoza ndi vakununkhira,+ chiŵandi chakuyereka*+ che pathebulu lagolidi chayiyu kweniso mazulu ngengosi yiwu abuska nyali+ pachakuŵikapu nyali chagolidi,+ pakuti isi tifiska udindu widu kwaku Yehova Chiuta widu, kweni yimwi mwamujowo.
12 Sonu awonani! Chiuta wauneneska we ndi isi, iyu watitilongozga limoza ndi asembi ŵaki kweniso mbata* zo zititiziŵisa nkhondu yakulimbana ndi yimwi. Yimwi Ayisirayeli, mungachitanga cha nkhondu yakulimbana ndi Yehova Chiuta wa apapi ŵinu akali, chifukwa vikuyendiyeningi cha.”+
13 Kweni Yerobowamu wangutuma ŵanthu kuti akabisami kuti akaŵayukiyi kutuliya kuvuli kwawu. Mwaviyo, Yerobowamu ndi asilikali ŵaki ŵenga kunthazi kwa ŵanthu aku Yuda ndipu ŵanthu wo angubisama ŵenga kuvuli kwawu.
14 Sonu ŵanthu a ku Yuda ŵati ang’anamuka anguwona kuti akhumbika kuchita nkhondu kuvigaŵa vosi, kunthazi ndi kuvuli. Yiwu angwamba kuliriya Yehova,+ ndipu pa nyengu yeniyi, asembi ambanga mbata mwakudaniriza.
15 Anthulumi a ku Yuda angwamba kudaniriza chiwawa cha nkhondu. Sonu yiwu ŵati adaniriza chiwawa cha nkhondu, Chiuta wauneneska wanguthereska Yerobowamu ndi Ayisirayeli wosi pa masu paku Abiya ndi ŵanthu a ku Yuda.
16 Ayisirayeli anguthaŵa pa masu pa ŵanthu a ku Yuda, ndipu Chiuta wanguŵapereka mu janja lawu.
17 Abiya ndi ŵanthu ŵaki angubaya Ayisirayeli anandi. Ayisirayeli angulutirizga kubayika, ndipu anthulumi 500,000 wo angusambizika mo angachitiya nkhondu* angubayika.
18 Mwaviyo, Ayisirayeli angulengeseka pa nyengu yeniyi, kweni anthulumi a ku Yuda anguphara nkhondu chifukwa chakuti anguthemba* Yehova Chiuta wa apapi ŵawu akali.+
19 Abiya wangulutirizga kutchimbiza Yerobowamu ndipu wangumuphanga matawuni. Iyu wanguphanga Beteli+ ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana,* Yeshana ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana kweniso Efurayini+ ndi matawuni ngaki ngamanangamana.
20 Yerobowamu wangujapu so wanthazi cha mu nyengu yaku Abiya. Pavuli paki, Yehova wangumulanga ndipu wangufwa.+
