1In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2wakange anamakore ane gumi namatanhatu pakutanga kwake kubata ushe, akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore ana makumi mashanu namaviri; zita ramai vake rakanga riri Jekoria weJerusaremu.
2Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3Akaita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita baba vake Amazia pazvose.
3He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4Kunyange zvakadaro, matunhu akakwirira haana kubviswa, vanhu vakaramba vachibayira nokupisa zvinonhuhwira pamatunhu akakwirira.
4However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
5Jehovha akarova mambo, akava namaperembudzi kusvikira zuva rokufa kwake, akagara ari oga muimba. Jotamu mwanakomana wamambo akava mutariri weimba, akatongawo mhosva dzavanhu venyika.
5Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land.
6Zvino mamwe mabasa aAzaria, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?
6Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
7Azaria akavata namadzibaba ake, vakamuviga kuna madzibaba ake muguta raDhavhidhi; Jotamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.
7Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

8In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months.
9Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita madzibaba ake; haana kutsauka pazvivi zvaJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati, zvaakatadzisa Isiraeri nazvo.
9He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done: he didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
10Sharumi mwanakomana waJabheshi akamumukira, akamubaya pamberi pavanhu, akamuuraya, iye akamutevera paushe.
10Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place.

11Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12Ndiro shoko raJehovha raakataura kuna Jehu, achiti, Vanakomana vako vachagara pachigaro choushe hwaIsiraeri kusvikira parudzi rwechina. Zvikaitwa saizvozvo.
12This was the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.

16Then Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were therein, and its borders, from Tirzah: because they didn’t open to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women therein who were with child he ripped up.

18He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
19Zvino Puri mambo weAsiria akauya kuzorwa nenyika; Menahemi akapa Puri matarenda ane chiuru chimwe chesirivha, kuti amubatsire kusimbisa ushe hwake.
19There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
20Menahemi akateresa Isiraeri, mumwe nomumwe wakange ane simba, akafuma, akabudisa mashekeri ana makumi mashanu esirivha, kuti zvipiwe mambo weAsiria; naizvozvo mambo weAsiria akadzokera hake, akasagara panyika.
20Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
21Zvino mamwe mabasa aMenahemi, nezvose zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aIsiraeri?
21Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
