1 Na rĩrĩ, kwa ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ gũtiarĩ na mbaara gatagatĩ ga Suriata na Isiraeli.
Kwathatha iminyaka kungelampi phakathi kwe-Aramu le-Israyeli.
2 No mwaka-inĩ wa gatatũ, Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wesithathu uJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wayabonana lenkosi yako-Israyeli.
3 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakoretwo eera anene ake atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũtiũĩ atĩ Ramothu-Gileadi nĩ itũũra riitũ, na gũtirĩ ũndũ tũreka wa kũrĩoya rĩngĩ kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Suriata?”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yayike yakhuluma lezikhulu zayo isithi, “Alikwazi na ukuthi eleRamothi Giliyadi ngelethu kodwa asikenzi lutho ukuze silithathe ezandleni zenkosi yase-Aramu?”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu agĩcookeria mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nawe tũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe, andũ akwa no ta andũ aku, na mbarathi ciakwa no ta mbarathi ciaku.”
Ngakho yasicela uJehoshafathi isithi, “Ungahamba lami na ukuze siyehlasela eRamothi Giliyadi?” UJehoshafathi ephendula inkosi yako-Israyeli wathi, “Mina ngikanye lawe, abantu bami banjengabakho, amabhiza ami anjengawakho.”
5 No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
Kodwa uJehoshafathi waphinda wathi enkosini yako-Israyeli, “Akubuze kuThixo kuqala.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookanĩrĩria anabii hamwe, nao maarĩ anabii ta magana mana, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana ndigathiĩ?” Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yahlanganisa abaphrofethi abangaba ngamakhulu amane yasibabuza isithi, “Ngihambe ngiyehlasela iRamothi Giliyadi yini, loba ngiyekele na?” Abaphrofethi bathi, “Hamba ngoba iNkosi izayinikela esandleni sakho.”
7 Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
Kodwa uJehoshafathi wabuza wathi, “Kambe kakusela mphrofethi kaThixo lapha esingabuza kuye na?”
8 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Ukhona oyedwa esingabuza uThixo ngaye kodwa ngiyamzonda ngoba kakaze aphrofethe okuhle ngami, uhlala ekhuluma okubi. Ibizo lakhe nguMikhaya indodana ka-Imla.” UJehoshafathi wathi, “Inkosi kayimelanga itsho njalo.”
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yasibiza omunye wezikhulu zayo yathi kuye, “Phangisa ungilethele uMikhaya indodana ka-Imla.”
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki na magaikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha me mbere yao.
Bembethe izembatho zabo zobukhosi, inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda babehlezi ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi esizeni sokubhulela amabele esangweni laseSamariya labo bonke abaphrofethi bephrofetha phambi kwabo.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana wayekhande impondo zensimbi, wasesithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uthi: ‘Ngempondo lezi uzagwaza ama-Aramu uwabhubhise.’”
12 Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Bonke abaphrofethi babevele bephrofetha okufananayo besithi, “Hlasela iRamothi Giliyadi unqobe, ngoba uThixo uyinikile esandleni senkosi.”
13 Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaya akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, nao mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩĩtĩkanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
Isithunywa esasithunywe ukuyabiza uMikhaya sathi kuye, “Khangela, abanye abaphrofethi bafakaza bengela kuthandabuza ukuthi inkosi izanqoba. Lawe vumelana labo, ukhulume okuyithokozisayo.”
14 Nowe Mikaya akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Jehova ekũnjĩĩra.”
Kodwa uMikhaya wathi, “Njengokutsho kukaThixo, mina ngizayitshela lokho engikuthunywe nguThixo.”
15 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaya, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Ekufikeni kwakhe, inkosi yambuza yathi, “Mikhaya, sihambe siyehlasela iRamothi Giliyadi yini, loba ngiyekele na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Hlasela njalo unqobe, ngoba uThixo uzalinikela ezandleni zakho nkosi.”
16 Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ, tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
Inkosi yathi kuye, “Kumele ngikufungise kangaki ukuze ungangikhohlisi kodwa ungitshele iqiniso ebizweni likaThixo?”
17 Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
Ngakho uMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Ngabona u-Israyeli wonke ehlakazekile ezintabeni njengezimvu ezingelamelusi, kulapho uThixo athi ‘Lababantu abalamkhomkheli. Yekela bonke babuyele emakhaya ngokuthula.’”
18 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Angikutshelanga yini ukuthi uvele kaphrofethi okuhle ngami, kodwa okubi kuphela?”
19 Mikaya agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
UMikhaya waqhubekela phambili wathi, “Ngakho zwana ilizwi likaThixo elithi, Ngabona uThixo ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi lamabutho wonke asezulwini emi ngakwesokunene sakhe lakwesokhohlo sakhe.
20 Nake Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ũũ.
Njalo uThixo wathi, ‘Ngubani ozahugela u-Ahabi ekuhlaseleni iRamothi Giliyadi ukuze ayefela khonale na?’ Omunye waqamba lokhu, lomunye okwakhe.
21 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’
Ekucineni kwavela umoya, wema phambi kukaThixo wathi, ‘Mina ngizamhuga.’
22 “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’ “Naguo ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
UThixo wabuza wathi, ‘Uzakwenza ngandlela bani?’ Umoya waphendula wathi, ‘Ngizahamba ngiyekuba ngumoya wokuqamba amanga emilonyeni yabo bonke abaphrofethi bakhe.’ UThixo wathi, ‘Uzaphumelela ukumhuga. Hamba-ke uyekwenza lokho.’
23 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku othe. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
Ngakho khathesi uThixo usefake umoya wenkohliso emilonyeni yabaphrofethi bakho bonke laba. UThixo usekumisele ukubhujiswa.”
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana agĩkuhĩrĩria na akĩgũtha Mikaya rũhĩ rwa ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova aragereire kũ rĩrĩa aroimire kũrĩ niĩ, nĩguo aarie nawe?”
Kusenjalo uZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana wasondela, wamwakala uMikhaya ebusweni. Wabuza wathi: “Umoya kaThixo wasuka njani kimi ungena kuwe na?”
25 Mikaya agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
UMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Uzazibonela mhla uzakuyacatsha endlini engaphakathi.”
26 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaya mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yalaya yathi, “Thathani uMikhaya limbuyisele ku-Amoni obusa idolobho lakoJowashi indodana yenkosi.
27 na muge atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ, nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
Liyekuthi, ‘Inkosi ithi: Valelani umuntu lo entolongweni lingamniki lutho ngaphandle kwesinkwa lamanzi ngize ngiphenduke ngokuhle.’”
28 Mikaya akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa, inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
UMikhaya waqonqosela wathi: “Nxa ungaphenduka kuhle, uThixo uyabe engakhulumanga ngami.” Waqhubeka wathi, “Lani lonke bantu abambisiseni amazwi ami!”
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda baya eRamothi Giliyadi.
30 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke, no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi: “Mina ngizakuya empini ngizazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sami, kodwa wena gqoka ezakho ezobukhosi.” Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sayo yangena empini.
31 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩathĩte anene ake mĩrongo ĩtatũ na eerĩ a ngaari cia ita, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũmwe, mũnene kana mũnini, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
Inkosi yase-Aramu yayilaye abalawuli bayo bezinqola zokulwa abangamatshumi amathathu lambili yathi, “Lina lingalwi lamuntu, loba eyisikhulu loba engumuntukazana, ngaphandle kwenkosi yako-Israyeli.”
32 Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no rĩrĩa Jehoshafatu aakaire-rĩ,
Abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa bathe bebona uJehoshafathi, bahle bathi “Ngempela le yiyo kanye inkosi yako-Israyeli.” Abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa basebehlasela uJehoshafathi, yena wahlaba umkhosi,
33 anene acio a ngaari cia ita makĩona atĩ ũcio ti mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, magĩtiga kũmũingatithia.
baphanga babona ukuthi kwakungasiyo inkosi yako-Israyeli bahle bayekela ukuxotshana laye.
34 No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari yake ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
Umuntu othile wakhokha umtshoko wakhe watshoka engaqondanga muntu umtshoko wayaciba inkosi yako-Israyeli emkenkeni wesihlangu sayo. Inkosi yasisithi kumtshayeli wenqola yokulwa: “Phendula inqola yakho ungisuse lapha. Sengilimele.”
35 Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha, ĩgĩthiĩ na mbere mũthenya wothe, nake mũthamaki agĩikara anyiitĩrĩirwo ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita angʼetheire Asuriata. Nayo thakame ĩkiura kuuma kĩronda gĩake hau aagurarĩtio, ĩgĩitĩka ngaari-inĩ ya ita, na hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio agĩkua.
Kwalwiwa impi kanzima ilanga lonke. Inkosi yayeyanyiswe enqoleni yayo yokulwa ikhangele ama-Aramu. Igazi lamanxeba ayo lagelezela phansi enqoleni yokulwa, kwathi Ngalokhokuhlwa yafa.
36 Riũa rĩgĩthũa, gũkĩanĩrĩrwo kũrĩ mbũtũ cia ita, ikĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ nĩainũke itũũra rĩake; o mũndũ nĩacooke bũrũri wake!”
Ekutshoneni kwelanga kwamenyezelwa kuyo yonke impi ukuthi: “Abantu bonke kababuyele emizini yakibo, bonke kababuyele lowo lalowo elizweni lakibo!”
37 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩkua na agĩtwarwo Samaria, makĩmũthika kuo.
Ngakho inkosi yafa yasiwa eSamariya, yangcwatshwa khona.
38 Nao magĩthambĩria ngaari ĩyo ya ita karia-inĩ ga Samaria, (harĩa maraya meethambagĩra), nacio ngui igĩcũna thakame yake, o ta ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩoigĩte.
Inqola yokulwa bayigezisela esizibeni seSamariya (endaweni eyayigezela izifebe), izinja zakhotha igazi layo, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
39 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Ahabu, hamwe na maũndũ marĩa we eekire, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aakithirie na ĩkĩgemio na mĩguongo, o na matũũra marĩa airigire na thingo cia hinya, githĩ maũndũ macio matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Konke okunye ngempilo langokubusa kuka-Ahabi lakho konke akwenzayo, ukwakha isigodlo esasiceciswe ngempondo zezindlovu, lamadolobho ayevikelwe okwenqaba, akulotshwanga na egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
40 Ahabu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Ahazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
U-Ahabi wangcwatshwa laboyise. Ubukhosi bakhe bathathwa yindodana yakhe u-Ahaziya.
41 Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
UJehoshafathi indodana ka-Asa waba yinkosi yakoJuda ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kuka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli.
42 Jehoshafatu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Azuba mwarĩ wa Shilihi.
UJehoshafathi waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lemihlanu yokuzalwa, wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lemihlanu. Ibizo likanina kungu-Azubha indodakazi kaShilihi.
43 No maũndũ-inĩ mothe, aarũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya ithe Asa na ndarĩ hĩndĩ aatiganire nayo; nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo, nao andũ magĩthiĩ na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
Kukho konke ayekwenza wayesenyathelweni likayise u-Asa njalo kazange aphambuke; wenza konke okuhle emehlweni kaThixo. Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela kazisuswanga, abantu babelokhu benikela imihlatshelo, betshisa impepha khonapho.
44 Ningĩ Jehoshafatu magĩikara marĩ na thayũ na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
UJehoshafathi wahlalisana ngokuthula lenkosi yako-Israyeli.
45 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoshafatu, na maũndũ marĩa aahingirie, o na ũhootani wake mbaara-inĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Juda?
Okwenzakala ekubuseni kukaJehoshafathi, ukuphumelela kwakhe kanye lokunqoba ezimpini, akulotshwanga na encwadini yembali yamakhosi akoJuda?
46 Nake akĩniina bũrũri-inĩ arũme arĩa maahũũraga ũmaraya na arũme arĩa angĩ mahooero-inĩ, arĩa maatigaire kuo kuuma hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa ithe Asa.
Waqeda insalela yabesilisa ababefeba emathempelini ayelokhu esasele lapho langemva kokubusa kukayise u-Asa.
47 Hĩndĩ ĩyo gũtiarĩ mũthamaki Edomu; mũnini wa mũthamaki nĩwe waathanaga.
Kwakungaselankosi e-Edomi, umsekeli nguye owayebusa.
48 Nake Jehoshafatu nĩaakire marikabu nyingĩ cia wonjoria, cia gũthiĩ kũgĩĩra thahabu Ofiri, no itiigana gũthiĩ, tondũ nĩcioinĩkangĩire kũu Ezioni-Geberi.
UJehoshafathi wakha imikhumbi yokuthutha igolide e-Ofiri, kodwa ayizange isebenze olwandle, yahle yahlikizeka, yabhidlikela e-Eziyoni-Gebheri.
49 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahazia mũrũ wa Ahabu akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩria andũ akwa matherere hamwe na andũ aku,” nowe Jehoshafatu akĩrega.
Ngalesosikhathi u-Ahaziya indodana ka-Ahabi wathi kuJehoshafathi, “Yekela abantu bami bahambe labakho olwandle,” kodwa uJehoshafathi wala.
50 Nake Jehoshafatu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra-inĩ rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoramu agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
Ngakho uJehoshafathi waphumula labokhokho bakhe, wangcwatshwa kanye labo emzini kaDavida uyise. UJehoramu indodana yakhe wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
51 Ahazia mũrũ wa Ahabu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa Jehoshafatu, mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
U-Ahaziya indodana ka-Ahabi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya ngomnyaka wetshumi lesikhombisa wokubusa kukaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda, yena-ke wabusa ko-Israyeli okweminyaka emibili.
52 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, tondũ nĩarũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya ithe na nyina na mĩthiĩre ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, ũrĩa watũmire Isiraeli mehie.
Wona emehlweni kaThixo, ngoba wahamba enyathelweni likayise lelikanina walandela njalo izindlela zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, owabangela u-Israyeli ukuthi enze isono.
53 Nake agĩtungatĩra Baali, akĩmĩinamĩrĩra akĩmĩhooya, na akĩrakaria Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli o ta ũrĩa ithe eekĩte.
Wasebenzela uBhali njalo wamkhonza wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise.
