Kronika 2 24
1 Yoas xɔ ƒe adre esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe blaene le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Zibia tso Beerseba.
UJowashi waba yinkosi eleminyaka eyisikhombisa yokuzalwa, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amane. Ibizo likanina linguZibhiya owayevela eBherishebha.
2 Yoas wɔ nu si nyo le Yehowa ŋkume, le nunɔla Yehoiada ƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
UJowashi wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo iminyaka yonke uJehoyada engumphristi.
3 Yehoiada ɖe srɔ̃ eve nɛ, ame siwo dzi viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo nɛ.
UJehoyada wamdingela abafazi ababili, wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.
4 Emegbe la, Yoas ɖo ta me be yeadzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo.
Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile uJowashi wabona kufanele ukuthi alungise kutsha ithempeli likaThixo.
5 Eyɔ nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi Yuda duwo katã me eye miadzɔ xɔtuga le Israelviwo si ale be míate ŋu adzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo. Mitso ɖe eŋu kaba! Migahe ɖe megbe o!” Ke Levitɔwo metso ɖe eŋu enumake o.
Wabuthanisa abaphristi labaLevi wathi kubo: “Yanini emizini yakoJuda liyeqoqa imali yomnyaka ngomnyaka kuye wonke umʼIsrayeli, lilungiswe kutsha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu wenu. Kwenzeni khathesi.” Kodwa abaLevi abazange bakwenze masinyane.
6 Ale fia la yɔ Yehoiada, nunɔlagã la eye wòbiae be, “Nu ka ta mèzi Levitɔwo dzi be woaɖaxɔ ga tso Yuda duwo me kple Yerusalem hena gbedoxɔ la dzadzraɖo o? Ele be míakpɔ egbɔ be wowɔ se si Mose, Yehowa ƒe dɔla, de la dzi ale be míate ŋu adzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo.”
Ngakho inkosi yabiza uJehoyada umphristi omkhulu yathi kuye, “Kungani ungatshelanga abaLevi ukuba baqoqe koJuda laseJerusalema umthelo owabekwa nguMosi inceku kaThixo kanye lasebandleni lako-Israyeli okweThente loBufakazi na?”
7 Azɔ la, nyɔnu vɔ̃ɖi ma, Atalia ƒe viŋutsuwo gbã ʋɔa ge ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me eye wowɔ nu kɔkɔeawo gɔ̃ hã ŋu dɔ na Baalwo.
Amadodana ka-Athaliya umfazi oxhwalileyo adiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu abuye azisebenzisela lezinto zalo ezingcwele kuboBhali.
8 Le fia la ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu la, wokpa tsitrenuɖaka aɖe da ɖe gota le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbo nu.
Ngokulaya kwenkosi, kwenziwa ibhokisi labekwa phandle, esangweni lethempeli likaThixo.
9 Woɖe gbeƒã le Yuda kple Yerusalem be woatsɔ adzɔga si Mawu ƒe dɔla Mose bia tso Israel si le gbea dzi la vɛ na Yehowa.
Kwasekumenyezelwa kulolonke elakoJuda laseJerusalema ukuba kulethwe kuThixo, umthelo owawumiswe nguMosi inceku kaNkulunkulu enkangala ukuba uzakhitshwa ngabako-Israyeli.
10 Dɔnunɔlawo katã kple ameawo katã tsɔ woƒe nudzɔdzɔwo vɛ kple dzidzɔ eye woda wo ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me va se ɖe esime wòyɔ banaa.
Izikhulu zonke labantu bonke baletha okwabo ngokujabula, bakufaka ebhokisini laze lagcwala.
11 Nenye be Levitɔwo tsɔ gaɖaka la vɛ na fia la ƒe dɔdzikpɔlawo eye wokpɔ be ga geɖe le eme la, fiasãmegbalẽŋlɔla la kple nunɔlagã ƒe dɔdzikpɔla va trɔa ga la le aɖaka la me eye wotsɔa aɖaka ƒuƒlu la ɖadana ɖe enɔƒe. Wowɔa esia enuenu eye wokpɔ ga home gã aɖe.
Kwakusithi nxa ibhokisi lingalethwa ngabaLevi ezikhulwini zenkosi zithi zingabona ukuthi sekulemali enengi, unobhala wesigodlweni lesikhulu somphristi omkhulu bafike bathulule okwakusebhokisini babe sebelibuyisela endaweni yalo. Bakwenza lokho ngezikhathi zonke baze babuthelela imali enengi kakhulu.
12 Fia la kple Yehoiada tsɔa ga la naa ŋutsu siwo wɔa dɔ siwo hiã le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu. Wotsɔa gliɖolawo kple atikpalawo be woaɖɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ɖo. Nenema kee wotsɔa gayibɔ kple akɔbli dɔwɔlawo be woaɖɔ gbedoxɔ la ɖo.
Inkosi loJehoyada baholisa abantu ababesenza umsebenzi owawufanele wenziwe ethempelini likaThixo. Baqhatsha ababazi bamatshe lababazi ukuze bakhe kutsha ithempeli likaThixo, labakhandi bezinsimbi kanye labakhandi bethusi besakha kutsha ithempeli.
13 Ŋutsu siwo nɔ dɔa nu la wɔ dɔ kple kutrikuku eye ɖɔɖɔɖodɔ la yi edzi nyuie le woƒe kpɔkplɔ te. Wogbugbɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la tu, heglãe ɖe eƒe tata gbãtɔ nu.
Amadoda ayebona ngokuqhutshwa komsebenzi ayekhaliphile, njalo umsebenzi ayewukhangele waqhubeka kuhle. Lakhiwa kutsha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu labuyela esimeni salo elaliyiso njalo baliqinisa.
14 Esi wowu dɔ la nu la, wotsɔ ga si susɔ la vɛ na fia la kple Yehoiada eye wotsɔe wɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔmenu siawoe: subɔsubɔnuwo, numevɔsanuwo kple agbawo kple klosalo kple sikanuwo. Zi ale si Yehoiada nɔ agbe la, numevɔsa yi edzi ɣe sia ɣi le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
Bathe sebeqedile, baletha imali eyasalayo enkosini lakuJehoyada, benza ngayo impahla zethempeli likaThixo: izitsha zokusebenzela kanye lezeminikelo yokutshiswa, izinditshi lezinye izitsha zegolide lezesiliva. UJehoyada esaphila, iminikelo yokutshiswa yayihlezi ikhona ethempelini likaThixo.
15 Yehoiada tsi ŋutɔ, exɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃ hafi ku.
UJehoyada wayeseluphele eleminyaka eminengi, wafa eleminyaka yokuzalwa elikhulu elilamatshumi amathathu.
16 Woɖii ɖe David ƒe Du la me ɖe fiawo dome elabena ewɔ nu nyui geɖewo na Israel kple Mawu kple gbedoxɔ la.
Wangcwatshwa lamakhosi eMzini kaDavida ngenxa yalokho okuhle akwenza ko-Israyeli ekwenzela uNkulunkulu ethempelini lakhe.
17 Le Yehoiada ƒe ku megbe la, Israel kplɔlawo va de ta agu na fia la eye fia la ɖo to wo.
Ngemva kokufa kukaJehoyada, izikhulu zakoJuda zayakhonza enkosini uJowashi, yazilalela.
18 Woɖe asi le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu eye wosubɔ aƒeliwo kple legbawo. Le woƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ta la, Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖi Yuda kple Yerusalem ŋu.
Balidela ithempeli likaThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise, basebekhonza izinsika zika-Ashera, lezithombe zakhe. Ngenxa yalesisono, ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabakoJuda laseJerusalema.
19 Mawu ɖo nyagblɔɖilawo ɖa be woana ameawo natrɔ va ye gbɔ gake ameawo meɖo to wo o.
Lanxa uThixo wathumela abaphrofethi ebantwini ukuba bababuyisele kuye njalo lanxa bafakaza ngokungavumelani labo, abazange babalalele.
20 Azɔ Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va dze Zekaria, Yehoiada ƒe vi, dzi. Eyɔ ameawo katã ƒo ƒu. Etsi tsitre ɖe kplɔ̃ aɖe dzi le ameawo ŋgɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Mawu di be yeanya nu si na miele yeƒe sewo dzi wɔm o. Nu sia tae naneke megadzea edzi na mi o. Miegble Yehowa ɖi eya ta eya hã gble mi ɖi azɔ.”
Ngakho uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela kuZakhariya indodana yomphristi uJehoyada. Wema phambi kwabantu wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguNkulunkulu: ‘Kungani lingalaleli imilayo kaThixo? Aliyikuphumelela. Ngenxa yokumlahla uThixo elikwenzileyo, laye uselilahlile.’”
21 Tete wobla ɖe eŋu eye woƒu kpee le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu, le fia la ƒe sedede nu.
Kodwa bamhlamukela, kwathi ngokuqondisa kwenkosi bamkhanda bambulala ngamatshe egumeni lethempeli likaThixo.
22 Fia Yoas meɖo ŋku dɔmenyo Zaxarya fofo, Yehoiada, wɔ nɛ la dzi o eye wòwu Via ŋutsu, Zaxarya, ame si gblɔ esi wòmlɔ anyi nɔ kukum be, “Yehowa, kpɔ nu si wowɔ la ɖa eye nàɖo eteƒe na wo.”
INkosi uJowashi ayizange izihluphe ngomusa eyayiwenzelwe nguJehoyada uyise kaZakhariya kodwa yabulala indodana yakhe, yona yathi ekufeni kwayo, “UThixo kakubone lokhu, aphindisele.”
23 Le ɣleti aɖewo megbe la, Siria ƒe aʋakɔ va ɖu Yuda kple Yerusalem dzi eye wowu dukɔa kplɔlawo katã. Woha afunyinu geɖewo ɖo ɖe woƒe fia le Damasko.
Ekupheleni komnyaka amabutho ama-Aramu ahlasela uJowashi; ahlasela koJuda laseJerusalema abulala bonke abakhokheli babantu. Impango yonke ayithumela enkosini yawo eDamaseko.
24 Yehowae na Siria ƒe aʋakɔ sue la ɖu Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ gã la dzi elabena Yudatɔwo gble Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la ɖi. Ale Mawu he to na Yoas.
Kwathi loba impi yama-Aramu yayikade ize lamadoda amalutshwana, uThixo wanikela ezandleni zawo ibutho elikhulu kakhulu. Njengoba abakoJuda babemlahlile uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, uJowashi wehlulelwa ngokufaneleyo.
25 Esi Siria ƒe aʋakɔ la dzo la, Yoas tsi aba dzi le abi gã si wòxɔ la ta. Yoas ŋutɔ ŋumewo ɖo ta me be yewoawui le esi wòwu nunɔla Yehoiada ƒe vi, Zaxarya ta. Ale wowui le eƒe aba dzi eye woɖii ɖe David Ƒe Du la me gake menye ɖe fiawo ɖiƒe o.
Ama-Aramu athi esehlehla, atshiya uJowashi elimele kakhulu. Izikhulu zakhe zamhlamukela ngokubulala kwakhe indodana kaJehoyada umphristi, zahle zambulalela embhedeni wakhe. Ngakho wafa wayangcwatshwa eMzini kaDavida, kodwa kungasikho emathuneni amakhosi.
26 Ame siwo wɔ babla ɖe eŋu la woe nye Zabad, ame si dadae nye Simeat, Amon ƒe viwo dometɔ ɖeka kple Yehozabad, Simirit, nyɔnu aɖe si tso Moab.
Laba abaceba ukumbulala kwakunguZabhadi, indodana kaShimeyathi owesifazane wama-Amoni loJehozabhadi, indodana kaShimirithi owesifazane wamaMowabi.
27 Woŋlɔ nu tso Yoas ƒe viŋutsuwo, fiƒode siwo woli kɔe ɖe Yoas dzi kple ale si wogakɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋuti la ɖe Fiawo ƒe ŋutinyawo me. Esi Yoas ku la, via Amazia ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Imbali yamadodana akhe, iziphrofethi ezinengi ngaye, lembali yokwakhiwa kutsha kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu kulotshiwe egwalweni lwezindaba zamakhosi. U-Amaziya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
