Kronika 2 28
1 Ahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem, ke mewɔ nu si dzɔ le Yehowa ŋkume abe tɔgbuia David ene o.
U-Ahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili ubudala nyakana esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Kenzanga njengoyise uDavida, kazange enze okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo.
2 Edze fia siwo nɔ Israel la ƒe kpɔɖeŋuwo yome eye wòsubɔ Baal ƒe legbawo.
Wahamba ngezindlela zamakhosi ako-Israyeli njalo wabaza izithombe zokukhonza oBhali.
3 Edea Ben Hinom ƒe Balime gɔ̃ hã, menye be yeado dzudzɔ na legbawo ko o, ke boŋ etsɔ eya ŋutɔ viawo sa vɔe le dzo me abe ale si trɔ̃subɔla siwo Yehowa nya le anyigba la dzi be Israel nakpɔ teƒe la wɔna ene.
Watshisa imihlatshelo eSigodini saseBheni-Hinomu wanikela amadodana akhe emlilweni, elandela izindlela ezenyanyekayo zezizwe uThixo ayezixotshe mandulo kokufika kwabako-Israyeli.
4 Esa vɔ eye wòdoa dzudzɔ hã le nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi kple le vɔsamlekpui geɖe siwo le atiwo te la dzi.
Wanikela imihlatshelo njalo watshisa impepha ezindaweni zokukhonzela phezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.
5 Nu sia ta Yehowa Mawu tsɔe de asi na Aram fia eye wosii heɖe aboyo eƒe ame geɖewo yi Damasko. Wotsɔe de asi na Israel fia hã, ame si sii vevie ŋutɔ.
Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnikela enkosini yama-Aramu. Ama-Aramu amnqoba athumba abantu bakhe abanengi abaletha eDamaseko. Yena njalo wanikelwa ezandleni zenkosi yako-Israyeli, yona eyambulalela abantu abanengi kakhulu.
6 Le ŋkeke ɖeka pɛ aɖe dzi la, Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, wu Yudatɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla kalẽtɔ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve sɔŋ elabena wotrɔ le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, yome.
Kwathi ngelanga elilodwa uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya wabulala amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili koJuda ngoba abakoJuda babemfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
7 Emegbe la, Zikri, aʋawɔla sesẽ aɖe, tso Efraim, wu fiavi, Maaseya kple fia la ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Azrikam kple Elkana, ame si nye ŋusẽtɔ evelia kplɔ fia la ɖo.
UZikhiri ibutho lako-Efrayimi, wabulala uMaseya indodana yenkosi, lo-Azirikhamu isikhulu somndlunkulu, kanye lo-Elikhana, owayengumsekeli wenkosi.
8 Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔwo ɖe aboyo Yudatɔwo ƒe nyɔnu kple ɖevi akpe alafa eve eye woha afunyinu geɖewo tsɔ yi Samaria.
Abako-Israyeli bathumba ezihlotsheni zabo zakoJuda omkabo, lamadodana lamadodakazi abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. Babutha njalo impango enengi kakhulu, abayithwala babuyela layo eSamariya.
9 Ke Obed, Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖe nɔ afi ma le Samaria. Èɖado go aʋakɔ si trɔ gbɔna aƒe eye wòdo ɣli be, “Kpɔ ɖa! Yehowa, mia fofowo ƒe Mawu, do dɔmedzoe ɖe Yuda ŋu eye wòna miesi eƒe amewo eye miewu wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe. Nu sia medze dziƒo blibo la ŋu o.
Kodwa umphrofethi wenkosi okwakuthiwa ngu-Odedi wayekhonale, ngakho waphuma ukuyahlangabeza ibutho ekuphendukeni kwalo eSamariya. Wathi kulo, “Ngenxa yokuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo wayethukuthelele abakoJuda, wabanikela ezandleni zenu. Kodwa lina selibabhubhise ngolaka oluze lwayathinta ezulwini.
10 Azɔ la, ɖe miele nana ge Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo siaa nazu kluviwoa? Mieɖo ŋku miawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ gbogbo siwo miewɔ ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu ŋuti dzi oa?
Khathesi selifuna ukuthi amadoda labesifazane bakoJuda laseJerusalema babe yizigqili zenu. Kodwa lina ngokwenu kalonanga yini kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu na?
11 Miɖo tom eye miagbugbɔ miaƒe ƒometɔwo ayi wo dewoe kpoo elabena azɔ la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe le bibim sesĩe ɖe mia ŋu.”
Lalelani kimi! Buyiselani amadoda akini eliwenze izibotshwa, ngoba ulaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo luphezu kwenu.”
12 Efraim ƒe kplɔlawo ƒe amegã aɖewo hã ƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe nuwɔna sia ŋu. Ame siawoe nye Azaria, Yehohanan ƒe vi kple Berekia, Mesilemɔt ƒe vi kple Yehizkiya, Salum ƒe vi kple Amasa, Hadlai ƒe vi.
Abanye babakhokheli bako-Efrayimi u-Azariya indodana kaJehohanani, loBherekhiya indodana kaMeshilemothi, loJehizikhiya indodana kaShalumi, kanye lo-Amasa indodana kaHadilayi bamelana lalabo ababevela empini bathi kubo,
13 Wogblɔ be, “Miekpɔ mɔ akplɔ aboyomeawo va afi sia o. Ne miekplɔ wo vɛ la, Yehowa ado dɔmedzoe eye nu vɔ̃ sia akpe ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃ bubu geɖeawo ŋu. Dɔmedzoe si Mawu do ɖe mía ŋu la, sɔ gbɔ xoxo.”
“Lingalethi lezozibotshwa lapha, ngoba kungenzeka sibe lecala phambi kukaThixo. Selidinga ukuthi lengezelele lelocala phezu kwesono sethu na? Ngoba icala lethu livele likhulu, njalo lentukuthelo yakhe eyesabekayo iphezu kwabako-Israyeli.”
14 Ale asrafomegãwo tsɔ aboyomeawo kple afunyinuawo de asi na dukɔa kplɔlawo be woabu ta me tso nu si woawɔ kple wo la ŋu.
Ngakho amabutho akhulula ababebotshiwe asebuyisela lempahla ezaziyimpango phambi kwezikhulu laphambi kwebandla.
15 Ame ene siwo woyɔ va yi la, ma awuwo tso afunyinuawo me na nyɔnu kple ɖevi siwo hiã awuwo eye wotsɔ afɔkpawo, nuɖuɖu kple wain na wo. Wotsɔ dɔnɔwo kple ame tsitsiwo ɖe tedziwo dzi, gbugbɔ wo yi na woƒe ƒometɔwo le Yeriko, Detiwo Ƒe Du me eye ame siwo kplɔ wo yi la trɔ va Samaria.
Amadoda ayeqanjwe ngamabizo abuyisela izibotshwa ezimpahleni zempango bagqokisa ababenqunu. Babanika izigqoko lamanyathelo, ukudla lokunathwayo, kanye lomuthi wokwelapha. Bonke ababuthakathaka babagadisa obabhemi. Ngakho babathatha bababuyisela kwabanye babo eJerikho, iDolobho lamaLala, basebebuyela eSamariya.
16 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, fia Ahaz dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Asiria fiawo be woava xɔ na ye.
Ngalesosikhathi inkosi u-Ahazi yacela uncedo enkosini yase-Asiriya.
17 Edomtɔwo gava dze Yuda dzi eye woɖe aboyo ameawo
Ama-Edomi ayesephendukile ezohlasela abakoJuda njalo asuka eqhuba izibotshwa,
18 le esime Filistitɔwo va ha du siwo nɔ togbeawo dzi kple esiwo nɔ Negev le Yuda. Woxɔ du siawo: Bet Semes, Aiyalon kple Gederot Timna, Soko kple Gimzo kpakple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlã wo eye wonɔ wo me.
kanti amaFilistiya lawo ngapha ayesehlasele amadolobho angaphansi kwamaqaqa kanye laseNegebi yakoJuda. Bathumba basebehlala khona eBhethi-Shemeshi, le-Ayijaloni leGederothi, kanye laseSokho, leThimina leGimizo lemizana eyayiseduze lalapho.
19 Esia va eme elabena Yehowa bɔbɔ Yuda ɖe anyi le Yuda fia, Ahaz ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ ta elabena egblẽ Yudatɔwo ƒe gbɔgbɔmegbenɔnɔ me eye menɔ Yehowa yome o.
UThixo wabatshaya abakoJuda ngoba u-Ahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli wayekhuthaze ukona kwabakoJuda watshengisela ukungathembeki okukhulu kuThixo.
20 Ke esi Asiria fia Tilgat Pilneser va ɖo la, eɖe fu na Fia Ahaz le esime wòakpe ɖe eŋu teƒe.
UThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya esikhundleni sokumsiza laye wafika wengezelela uhlupho.
21 Ale, Ahaz tsɔ nu siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me ƒe akpa aɖewo kpakple dɔnunɔlawo tɔ hetsɔ na Asiria fia la gake egbe kpekpe ɖe eŋu.
U-Ahazi wathatha ezinye zezimpahla zasethempelini likaThixo lezinye azithatha endlini yomndlunkulu esigodlweni waze wathatha lezamakhosana wayaziqhubela inkosi yase-Asiriya, kodwa lakho lokhu akumncedanga.
22 Fia Ahaz ŋlɔ Mawu be le eƒe xaxaɣi sia me.
Kwathi lanxa inkosi u-Ahazi iphakathi kobunzima, yandisa ukona kwayo kuThixo.
23 Esa vɔ na Damaskotɔ siwo ɖu edzi le aʋa me la ƒe mawuwo elabena ebu be, mawu siawoe kpe ɖe Siria fia ŋu eya ta woakpe ɖe ye hã ŋu ne yesa vɔ na wo. Ke mawu mawo boŋue he dzɔgbevɔ̃e va eya ŋutɔ kple Israel katã dzi.
Yanikela imihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu baseDamaseko, ababeyehlule, ngoba yakhumbula yathi, “Njengoba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ama-Aramu bewancedile, ngizanikela imihlatshelo kubo ukuze bangisize lami.” Kodwa-ke kwahle kwaba yikuwa kwayo lokuchitheka kwabako-Israyeli.
24 Fia la tsɔ sikatreawo tso gbedoxɔ la me eye wògbã wo kakɛkakɛ. Etu gbedoxɔ la ƒe ʋɔtruwo ale be ame aɖeke magasubɔ Mawu le afi ma o eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yerusalem ƒe dzogoe ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
U-Ahazi wabutha zonke izitsha ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wazisusa. Wavala iminyango yethempeli likaThixo wasesakha ama-alithare kuwo wonke amajiko eJerusalema.
25 Gawu la, ewɔ nu ma ke le Yuda ƒe du ɖe sia ɖe me eye wòto esia me do dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu.
Wakha izindawo zokukhonzela kuwo wonke amadolobho akoJuda ukuze atshisele onkulunkulu imihlatshelo; wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
26 Woŋlɔ nu tso Fia Ahazia ƒe agbenɔnɔ kple nuwɔwɔ bubuawo tso gɔmedzedzea va se nuwuwu ŋu ɖe Yuda fiawo kple Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso wakhe lezindlela zakhe zonke, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda lako-Israyeli.
27 Esi Fia Ahaz ku la, woɖii ɖe Yerusalem du la me, ke menye ɖe fiawo ƒe ɖiƒe o, eye via Hezekia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
U-Ahazi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo emzini waseJerusalema, kodwa kabekwanga emathuneni amakhosi ako-Israyeli. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.
