2 Maũndũ 23
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa mũgwanja Jehoiada nĩonanirie hinya wake. Nĩathondekire kĩrĩkanĩro na anene a ita a thigari 100 nao maarĩ: Azaria mũrũ wa Jerohamu, na Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Jehohanani, na Azaria mũrũ wa Obedi, na Maaseia mũrũ wa Adaia, na Elishafatu mũrũ wa Zikiri.
Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada waqunga isibindi. Wenza isivumelwano labalawuli bamakhulu embuthweni: o-Azariya indodana kaJerohamu lo-Ishumayeli indodana kaJehohanani, lo-Azariya indodana ka-Obhedi, loMaseya indodana ka-Adaya kanye lo-Elishafathi indodana kaZikhiri.
2 Nao magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Juda wothe makĩũnganagia Alawii na atongoria a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma matũũra-inĩ mothe. Rĩrĩa mookire Jerusalemu-rĩ,
Bangena kulolonke elakoJuda, baqoqa abaLevi kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli. Ekufikeni kwabo eJerusalema,
3 kĩũngano gĩothe nĩkĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na mũthamaki kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai. Jehoiada akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ wa mũthamaki no nginya athamake, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ njiaro cia Daudi.
ibandla lonke lenza isivumelwano lenkosi ethempelini likaNkulunkulu. UJehoyada wathi kubo, “Indodana yenkosi izabusa, njengoba uThixo wathembisa abayinzalo kaDavida.
4 Na rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo mũgwĩka: Gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩa inyuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa megũthiĩ wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ mũrangĩre mĩrango,
Ngakho nanku okumele likwenze: Ingxenye yesithathu yenu baphristi labaLevi abalinda ngeSabatha bafanele balinde eminyango,
5 gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩanyu mũrangĩre nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ mũrangĩre kĩhingo kĩa mũthingi, nao andũ acio angĩ othe maikare nja cia hekarũ ya Jehova.
eyinye ingxenye yesithathu esigodlweni somndlunkulu kanye lenye njalo ingxenye yesithathu ezalinda eSangweni leSisekelo, kuthi wonke amanye amadoda abesemagumeni ethempeli likaThixo.
6 Mũtikanareke mũndũ o na ũmwe atoonye hekarũ ya Jehova tiga o athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa marĩ wĩra-inĩ; acio no matoonye tondũ nĩ aamũre, no andũ acio angĩ othe marangĩre kĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte marangĩre.
Kakho ozangena ethempelini likaThixo ngaphandle kwabaphristi labaLevi abazabe besemsebenzini; labo bezangena ngoba behlanjululwe, kodwa wonke amanye amadoda azalinda lokho azabe ekutshengiswe nguThixo.
7 Alawii makeiga mathiũrũrũkĩirie mũthamaki, o mũndũ arĩ na indo ciake cia mbaara guoko-inĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya hekarũ no nginya oragwo. Ikaragai hakuhĩ na mũthamaki kũrĩa guothe angĩthiĩ.”
AbaLevi bazahonqolozela inkosi, ngulowo lalowo wabo ehlomile. Loba ngubani ozangena ethempelini kumele abulawe. Lingaxekelani lenkosi loba kungaphi lapho ezabe ikhona.”
8 Nao Alawii na andũ othe a Juda magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aathanire. O mũndũ akĩoya andũ ake arĩa maathiiaga wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ na arĩa moimagĩra wĩra, nĩgũkorwo Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ndarĩ gĩkundi o na kĩmwe aarekereirie.
AbaLevi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda benza khonokho kanye ababekutshelwe nguJehoyada umphristi. Kwaba ngulowo lalowo wathatha abantu bakhe, kulabanye ababesiyaqalisa amazopho abo ngeSabatha labanye ababetshayisa ngemva kwamazopha abo ngoba uJehoyada umphristi wayelokhu engakakhululi loba iviyo elilodwa.
9 Ningĩ akĩhe anene a ita a thigari 100 matimũ na ngo iria nene na nini iria ciarĩ cia Mũthamaki Daudi iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai.
Wasenika abalawuli bamaviyo amabutho alikhulu imikhonto lamahawu amakhulu lamancinyane ayekade engawenkosi uDavida ayesethempelini likaNkulunkulu.
10 Akĩrũgamia andũ othe, o mũndũ na indo ciake cia mbaara, magĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũthamaki, hau hakuhĩ na kĩgongona, na hakuhĩ na hekarũ, kuuma mwena wa gũthini nginya mwene wa gathigathini wayo.
Wasemisa wonke amadoda, ngamunye ephethe izikhali zakhe ezandleni, ezingelezele inkosi eduze kwe-alithari lethempeli, kusukela eceleni langezansi kusiya enyakatho yethempeli.
11 Jehoiada na ariũ ake makĩruta mũriũ wa mũthamaki na makĩmwĩkĩra thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki; makĩmũnengera ibuku rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na makĩanĩrĩra atĩ nĩwe mũthamaki. Makĩmũitĩrĩria maguta na makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene!”
UJehoyada lamadodana akhe basebeveza indodana yenkosi njalo bayethesa umqhele; bayiqhubela lencwadi yesivumelwano bayibeka yaba yinkosi. Bayigcoba bavungama bathi: “Mpilonde nkosi!”
12 Rĩrĩa Athalia aaiguire inegene rĩa andũ makĩhanyũka magĩkũngũyagĩra mũthamaki, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
U-Athaliya uthe esizwa umsindo wabantu begijima njalo behalalisa inkosi, wasuka waya kubo ethempelini likaThixo.
13 Agĩcũthĩrĩria, na akĩona mũthamaki arũgamĩte gĩtugĩ-inĩ gĩake itoonyero-inĩ. Nao anene na ahuhi tũrumbeta marũgamĩte hakuhĩ na mũthamaki, na andũ othe a bũrũri magagĩkena makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta, nao aini marĩ na indo cia kũina magatongoria andũ arĩa angĩ na nyĩmbo cia kũgooca. Nake Athalia agĩtembũranga nguo ciake cia igũrũ, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ungumania! Ungumania!”
Lakanye wayibona inkosi imi ensikeni yayo ngasemangenelweni. Izikhulu labavutheli bamacilongo besekele inkosi, njalo bonke abantu belizwe bejabula bevuthela amacilongo, kanye labahlabeleli bephethe izinto zokuhlabelela bekhokhela emkhosini wokuhaya inkosi. U-Athaliya wadabula izigqoko zakhe njalo wamemeza ethi: “Umvukela! Umvukela!”
14 Nake Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩtũma anene a ita a thigari igana igana, arĩa maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a mbũtũ cia ita, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrutũrũrei, mũmũrehe arĩ gatagatĩ ga thigari, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmuuma thuutha, oragwo.” Nĩgũkorwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũũragĩre hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.”
UJehoyada umphristi wathumela abalawuli bamaviyo amabutho alikhulu, ababelawula amabutho, wathi: “Mkhupheleni phandle u-Athaliya phakathi kwamaviyo kuthi loba ngubani omlandelayo limbulale ngenkemba.” Ngoba umphristi wayethe, “Lingambulaleli ethempelini likaThixo.”
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, agĩkinya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Mbarathi, o kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, makĩmũũragĩra hau.
Ngakho bambamba esefikile emangenelweni eSango laMabhiza emagumeni esigodlo, njalo kulapho abambulalela khona.
16 Nake Jehoiada akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro atĩ we, na andũ, na mũthamaki megũtuĩka andũ a Jehova.
UJehoyada wasesenza isivumelwano sokuthi yena kanye labantu lenkosi bazakuba ngabantu bakaThixo
17 Nao andũ othe magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Baali na makĩmĩtharia. Makiunanga igongona na mĩhianano na makĩũragĩra Matani ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Baali hau mbere ya igongona icio.
Bonke abantu baya ethempelini likaBhali, balidilizela phansi, babhidliza lama-alithare akhe lezithombe zakhe, babulala uMathani umphristi kaBhali phambi kwama-alithare.
18 Ningĩ Jehoiada akĩneana ũrũgamĩrĩri wa hekarũ ya Jehova moko-inĩ ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, arĩa maaheetwo wĩra hekarũ-inĩ nĩ Daudi, marutagĩre Jehova magongona ma njino o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa, o makĩinaga na magakena o ta ũrĩa Daudi aathanĩte.
UJehoyada wabeka abalindi bethempeli likaThixo ezandleni zabaphristi, ababengabaLevi, bona uDavida ayevele ebenzele amazopho abo ethempelini, ukuze balethe iminikelo yokutshiswa kaThixo njengokulotshwa kwayo eMthethweni kaMosi, kulokujabula lokuhlabelela njengokulaya kukaDavida.
19 O na ningĩ nĩaigire aikaria a mĩrango ihingo-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũtetheretie ũngĩtoonya.
Wahlalisa njalo abalindiminyango emasangweni ethempeli likaThixo ukuze kungangeni loyedwa ongahlanjululwanga.
20 Akĩoya anene a ita thigari igana, na anene arĩa angĩ, na aathani a andũ, na andũ othe a bũrũri, magĩikũrũkia mũthamaki kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova. Magĩtoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki magereire Kĩhingo kĩa Rũgongo na magĩikarĩria mũthamaki gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene,
Wasethatha abalawuli bamabutho alikhulu, lezikhulu lababusi babantu kanye labantu bonke belizwe basebeletha inkosi ethempelini likaThixo. Bangena esigodlweni ngeSango elingaPhezulu bahlalisa khona inkosi esihlalweni soBukhosi,
21 nao andũ othe a bũrũri magĩkena. Narĩo itũũra inene rĩkĩhoorera, tondũ Athalia nĩarĩkĩtie kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
njalo bonke abantu elizweni bajabula. Kwaba lokuthula kulolonke idolobho ngoba u-Athaliya wayesebulewe ngenkemba.
