2 Athamaki 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
Ngomnyaka wesibili kaJowashi indodana kaJehowazi, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, uAmaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.
2 Aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ kũu Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na kenda. Nake nyina eetagwo Jehoadini, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguJehowadani weJerusalema.
3 Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa moonagwo magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ti ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte. Maũndũ-inĩ mothe eekire o ta ũrĩa ithe Joashu ekaga.
Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, kodwa kungenjengoDavida uyise; wenza njengakho konke uJowashi uyise akwenzayo.
4 No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
Loba kunjalo indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga; abantu babelokhu benikela imihlatshelo betshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo.
5 Thuutha wa ũthamaki gũkorwo ũrũmĩte moko-inĩ make, akĩũraga anene arĩa moragĩte ithe Joashu ũrĩa warĩ mũthamaki.
Kwasekusithi umbuso wakhe usuqinisiwe esandleni sakhe, watshaya inceku zakhe ezazitshaye inkosi uyise.
6 No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũũraga ariũ a oragani acio, kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho wa Musa harĩa Jehova aathanĩte atĩrĩ: “Maithe ma ciana matikooragwo nĩ ũndũ wa ciana, o na kana ciana ciũragwo nĩ ũndũ wa maithe mao; o mũndũ arĩkuaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make mwene.”
Kodwa abantwana bababulali kababulalanga, njengokubhaliweyo ogwalweni lomlayo kaMozisi lapho iNkosi eyalaya khona isithi: Oyise kabayikubulawa ngenxa yabantwana, labantwana kabayikubulawa ngenxa yaboyise, kodwa wonke umuntu uzabulawelwa isono sakhe.
7 Ningĩ nĩwe wahootire 10,000 cia andũ a Edomu kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Cumbĩ, na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Sela mbaara-inĩ, akĩrĩtua Jokitheeli, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa rĩĩtagwo nginya ũmũthĩ.
Yena wasetshaya amaEdoma azinkulungwane ezilitshumi esihotsheni setshwayi, wathumba iSela ngempi, wabiza ibizo layo ngokuthi yiJokhitheyeli, kuze kube lamuhla.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Amazia agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũrũ wa Jehu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Ũka tũngʼethanĩre ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ.”
Khona uAmaziya wathuma izithunywa kuJehowashi indodana kaJehowahazi indodana kaJehu, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, esithi: Woza sikhangelane ubuso ngobuso.
9 No rĩrĩ, Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ: “Mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ ma kũu Lebanoni nĩmatũmĩire mũtarakwa ndũmĩrĩri o kũu Lebanoni makĩwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Heana mwarĩguo ahikio nĩ mũrũ wakwa.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nyamũ ya gĩthaka kũu Lebanoni ĩgĩũka ĩkĩrangĩrĩria mahiũ macio ma nyeki-inĩ na makinya mayo.
UJehowashi inkosi yakoIsrayeli wasethumela kuAmaziya inkosi yakoJuda esithi: Ukhula oluhlabayo oluseLebhanoni lwathumela emsedarini oseLebhanoni lusithi: Nika indodakazi yakho endodaneni yami ibe ngumkayo; kwasekusedlula isilo seganga esiseLebhanoni, salugxoba ukhula oluhlabayo.
10 Ti-itherũ nĩũtooretie Edomu, na rĩu nĩũtuĩkĩte mwĩtĩĩi. Wĩgaathe nĩ ũndũ wa ũhootani waku, no ikara mũciĩ! Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma wĩrehere thĩĩna, wĩniinithie we mwene, o hamwe na andũ a Juda?”
Uyitshayile lokuyitshaya iEdoma, inhliziyo yakho isikuphakamisile; dumiseka, uhlale endlini yakho; ngoba kungani uzivusela ububi ukuze uwe wena loJuda kanye lawe?
11 O na kũrĩ ũguo, Amazia ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũtharĩkĩra. We na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda makĩngʼethanĩra kũu Bethi-Shemeshu thĩinĩ wa Juda.
Kodwa uAmaziya kezwanga. Ngakho uJehowashi inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyuka, yena-ke loAmaziya inkosi yakoJuda bakhangelana ubuso ngobuso eBeti-Shemeshi eyakoJuda.
12 Andũ a Juda makĩhũũrwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli, na o mũndũ akĩũrĩra gwake mũciĩ.
UJuda wasetshaywa phambi kukaIsrayeli; basebebaleka, ngulowo lalowo waya ethenteni lakhe.
13 Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩnyiita Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda mũrũ wa Joashu mũrũ wa Ahazia, o kũu Bethi-Shemeshu. Ningĩ Jehoashu agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu na akĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, kuuma Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Efiraimu nginya Kĩhingo gĩa Koine, handũ ha buti ta magana matandatũ kũraiha.
UJehowashi inkosi yakoIsrayeli wasembamba uAmaziya inkosi yakoJuda, indodana kaJehowashi indodana kaAhaziya, eBeti-Shemeshi; wafika eJerusalema, wadilizela phansi umduli weJerusalema, kusukela esangweni lakoEfrayimi kusiya esangweni lengonsi, ingalo ezingamakhulu amane.
14 Nake akĩoya thahabu yothe na betha na indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova na iria ciarĩ igĩĩna-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Ningĩ agĩtaha andũ na agĩcooka Samaria.
Wasethatha lonke igolide lesiliva, lezitsha zonke ezatholakala endlini kaJehova lezendlini zenotho zendlu yenkosi, kanye labayisibambiso, wasebuyela eSamariya.
15 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoashu, na marĩa eekire, na marĩa aahingirie, o hamwe na mbaara yake ĩrĩa maarũire na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJehowashi azenzayo, lamandla akhe, lokuthi walwa njani loAmaziya inkosi yakoJuda, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoIsrayeli?
16 Jehoashu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo Samaria hamwe na athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
UJehowashi waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa eSamariya emakhosini akoIsrayeli. UJerobhowamu indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
17 Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtano thuutha wa gĩkuũ kĩa Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
UAmaziya indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakoJuda, wasephila iminyaka elitshumi lanhlanu emva kokufa kukaJehowashi indodana kaJehowahazi inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
18 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ ma wathani wa Amazia, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAmaziya, kazibhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
19 Nao andũ makĩgĩa ndundu ya kũmũũkĩrĩra kũu Jerusalemu, nake Amazia akĩũrĩra Lakishi, no magĩtũma andũ mamũrũmĩrĩre kũu Lakishi, na makĩmũũragĩra kuo.
Basebemenzela ugobe eJerusalema, wabalekela eLakishi; kodwa bathuma bamlandela eLakishi, bambulalela khona.
20 Nĩacookirio akuuĩtwo na mbarathi, agĩthikwo Jerusalemu hamwe na maithe make, itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi.
Basebemthwala ngamabhiza, wangcwatshelwa eJerusalema kuboyise emzini kaDavida.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Azaria arĩ na mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
Bonke abantu bakoJuda basebethatha uAzariya, owayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise uAmaziya.
22 Nĩwe waakire Elathu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka na maithe make.
Yena wakha iElathi, wayibuyisela koJuda emva kokulala kwenkosi laboyise.
23 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa wathani wa Amazia mũrũ wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda, Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩtuĩka mũthamaki kũu Samaria, na agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe.
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu kaAmaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda uJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoIsrayeli waba yinkosi eSamariya; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane lanye.
24 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaatiganire na mehia o na mamwe ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi; kasukanga ezonweni zonke zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati owenza uIsrayeli one.
25 Nĩwe wacookirie mĩhaka ya Isiraeli kuuma Lebo-Hamathu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ ndungata yake Jona mũrũ wa Amitai, ũrĩa warĩ mũnabii kuuma Gathi-Heferi.
Yena wabuyisela umngcele wakoIsrayeli kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kuze kufike elwandle lwamagceke, njengokwelizwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, eyalikhuluma ngesandla senceku yayo uJona indodana kaAmithayi umprofethi, owayevela eGathi-Heferi.
26 Jehova nĩonete ruo rũnene rwa andũ othe a Isiraeli, arĩa maarĩ ngombo na arĩa mataarĩ ngombo, akĩona ũrĩa maathĩĩnĩkĩte, na gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kũmateithia.
Ngoba iNkosi yabona ukuhlupheka kukaIsrayeli, kwakubaba kakhulu, ngoba kwakungekho ovalelweyo, njalo engekho okhululekileyo, njalo kungelamsizi kaIsrayeli.
27 Na tondũ Jehova ndoigĩte atĩ nĩegũtharia rĩĩtwa rĩa Isiraeli gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nĩamahonokirie na guoko kwa Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Jehoashu.
INkosi yayingatshongo-ke ukuthi izalesula ibizo likaIsrayeli ngaphansi kwamazulu; kodwa yabasindisa ngesandla sikaJerobhowamu indodana kaJowashi.
28 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jeroboamu, ũrĩa wothe eekire, o na mbaara iria aahootanire, o na ũrĩa aatunyanĩire Isiraeli matũũra ma Dameski na Hamathu, marĩa maarĩ ma Juda tene-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJerobhowamu, lakho konke akwenzayo, lamandla akhe, ukuthi walwa njani, lokuthi wayibuyisela njani koIsrayeli iDamaseko leHamathi, engeyeJuda, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoIsrayeli?
29 Jeroboamu nĩahurũkire hamwe na maithe make, o acio maarĩ athamaki a Isiraeli. Nake mũriũ Zekaria agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
UJerobhowamu waselala laboyise, emakhosini akoIsrayeli. UZekhariya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
