Bavala leminyango yekhulusi, bacitsha izibane, kabatshisanga impepha, kabanikelanga umnikelo wokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endaweni engcwele.
8 Saboda haka, fushin Ubangiji ya fāɗo a kan Yahuda da Urushalima; ya mai da su abin tsoro da abin banrazana da kuma abin ba’a, kamar yadda kuke gani da idanunku.
Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwaba phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema, yabanikela evalweni, ekuchithekeni, lekuncifelweni, njengoba libona ngamehlo enu.
9 Abin da ya sa ke nan kakanninmu suka fāɗi ta takobi, kuma shi ya sa aka kai’ya’yanmu maza da’ya’yanmu mata da matanmu bauta.
Ngoba khangelani, obaba bawile ngenkemba, lamadodana ethu lamadodakazi ethu labomkethu basekuthunjweni ngenxa yalokhu.
10 Yanzu ina niyya in yi alkawari da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, domin fushinsa yă kauce daga gare mu.
Khathesi kusenhliziyweni yami ukwenza isivumelwano leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ukuze ukuvutha kolaka lwayo kuphenduke kusuke kithi.
11 ’Ya’yana maza, kada ku yi sakaci yanzu, gama Ubangiji ya zaɓe ku don ku tsaya a gabansa ku kuma yi masa hidima, don ku yi hidima a gabansa ku kuma ƙone turare.”
Madodana ami, khathesi lingonwabi, ngoba iNkosi ilikhethile ukuthi lime phambi kwayo, liyikhonze, libe zinceku zayo labatshisi bempepha.

15 Da suka tattara’yan’uwansu suka kuma tsarkake kansu, sai suka shiga ciki suka tsarkake haikalin Ubangiji, kamar yadda sarki ya umarta, suna bin maganar Ubangiji.
Basebebuthanisa abafowabo, bazingcwelisa, beza njengomlayo wenkosi ngamazwi kaJehova, ukuhlanza indlu kaJehova.
16 Firistoci suka shiga cikin wuri mai tsarki na Ubangiji suka tsarkake shi. Suka fitar da dukan abin da yake marar tsabta da suka samu a haikalin Ubangiji zuwa filin haikalin Ubangiji. Lawiyawa suka ɗauke su suka kai su Kwarin Kidron.
Abapristi basebengena ngaphakathi kwendlu yeNkosi ukuyihlanza, bakhupha konke ukungcola abakuthola ethempelini leNkosi egumeni lendlu yeNkosi; lamaLevi akuthatha, akukhuphela esifuleni iKidroni ngaphandle.
17 Suka fara tsarkakewar a rana ta farko na farkon wata, a rana ta takwas na watan kuwa suka kai shirayin Ubangiji. Karin kwana takwas kuma suka tsarkake haikalin Ubangiji kansa, suka gama a rana ta goma sha shida na farkon wata.
Basebeqala ukungcwelisa ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala, njalo ngosuku lwesificaminwembili lwenyanga bafika ekhulusini leNkosi; bangcwelisa indlu yeNkosi ngensuku eziyisificaminwembili; kwathi ngosuku lwetshumi lesithupha lwenyanga yokuqala baqeda.
18 Sa’an nan suka tafi wurin Sarki Hezekiya suka faɗa masa, “Mun tsarkake haikalin Ubangiji gaba ɗaya, bagaden ƙone hadaya tare da dukan kayayyakinsa, da tebur don shirya tsarkaken burodi, tare da dukan kayayyakinsa.
Basebengena phakathi kuHezekhiya inkosi bathi: Sesiyihlanzile yonke indlu yeNkosi, lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke, letafula lezinkwa zokubukiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke.
19 Mun shirya muka kuma tsarkake dukan kayayyakin da Sarki Ahaz ya cire cikin rashin amincinsa yayinda yake sarki. Yanzu suna a gaban bagaden Ubangiji.”
Lazo zonke izitsha inkosi uAhazi eyayizilahlile ekubuseni kwayo, esiphambekweni sayo, sizilungisile sazingcwelisa, khangela-ke, ziphambi kwelathi leNkosi.
20 Da sassafe kashegari Sarki Hezekiya ya tattara manyan birni wuri ɗaya, suka haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji.
UHezekhiya inkosi wasevuka ngovivi, wabuthanisa izinduna zomuzi, wenyukela endlini kaJehova.
21 Suka kawo bijimai bakwai, raguna bakwai, bunsurai bakwai da kuma awaki mata bakwai a matsayin hadaya don zunubi domin masarauta, domin wuri mai tsarki da kuma domin Yahuda. Sarki ya umarce firistoci, zuriyar Haruna, su miƙa waɗannan a bagaden Ubangiji.
Basebeletha amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa lamawundlu ayisikhombisa lempongo eziyisikhombisa, kwaba ngumnikelo wesono sombuso lesendlu engcwele lesakoJuda. Wasesithi emadodaneni kaAroni, abapristi, akunikele phezu kwelathi leNkosi.
22 Saboda haka suka yayyanka bijiman, firistoci suka karɓi jinin suka yayyafa a kan bagade. Suka kuma yanka ragunan suka yayyafa jinin a bagaden. Haka kuma suka yanka’yan ragunan suka yayyafa jinin a bagaden.
Basebehlaba izinkabi, labapristi bemukela igazi balifafaza elathini; bahlaba lezinqama bafafaza igazi elathini; bahlaba lamawundlu bafafaza igazi elathini.
23 Aka kawo awaki domin hadaya don zunubi a gaban sarki da taron, suka kuwa ɗibiya hannuwansu a kansu.
Basebesondeza impongo zomnikelo wesono phambi kwenkosi lebandla, babeka izandla zabo phezu kwazo.
24 Sa’an nan firistoci suka yayyanka awakin suka miƙa jininsu a bagade domin hadaya don zunubi don kafara saboda dukan Isra’ila, domin sarki ya umarta a yi hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya don zunubi domin dukan Isra’ila.
Abapristi basebezihlaba, benza ukubuyisana ngegazi lazo phezu kwelathi ukwenzela uIsrayeli wonke inhlawulo yokuthula. Ngoba inkosi yalaya: Umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono ngokaIsrayeli wonke.
25 Sarki Hezekiya ya ajiye Lawiyawa a cikin haikalin Ubangiji tare da ganguna, garayu da molaye, yadda Dawuda da Gad mai duba na sarki da kuma annabi Natan suka tsara. Ubangiji ne ya umarta wannan ta wurin annabawansa.
Wasebeka amaLevi endlini kaJehova elensimbi ezincencethayo, lezigubhu zezintambo, njalo lamachacho, njengomlayo kaDavida lokaGadi umboni wenkosi lokaNathani umprofethi; ngoba lumlayo wawungesandla sikaJehova ngesandla sabaprofethi bakhe.
26 Saboda haka Lawiyawa suka tsaya a shirye tare da kayan kiɗin Dawuda, firistoci kuma tare da ƙahoninsu.
LamaLevi ema elezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida labapristi belempondo.
27 Hezekiya ya ba da umarni a miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa a kan bagade. Yayinda aka fara miƙawa, ana rerawa ga Ubangiji, tare da bushe-bushe da kiɗe-kiɗen kayan waƙa na Dawuda sarkin Isra’ila.
UHezekhiya waselaya ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi; kwathi ngesikhathi umnikelo wokutshiswa uqalisa, ingoma yeNkosi yaqalisa kanye lezimpondo, langezandla zezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
28 Dukan taron suka durƙusa suka yi sujada, yayinda mawaƙa suke rerawa, ana kuma busa ƙahoni, dukan wannan ya ci gaba sai da aka gama miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.
Lebandla lonke lakhonza, labahlabeleli bahlabelela, labakhalisi bempondo bakhalisa; konke lokhu, kwaze kwaphela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
29 Sa’ad da aka gama miƙawa, sai sarki da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka durƙusa suka yi sujada.
Lekupheleleni kokunikela inkosi labo bonke abatholakala layo bakhothama bakhonza.
30 Sarki Hezekiya da fadawansa suka umarci Lawiyawa su yabi Ubangiji da kalmomin Dawuda da na Asaf mai duba. Saboda haka suka rera yabai da murna, suka sunkuyar da kawunansu suka yi sujada.
Khona uHezekhiya inkosi leziphathamandla bathi kumaLevi kawayidumise iNkosi ngamazwi kaDavida lakaAsafi umboni. Asedumisa kwaze kwaba yintokozo, akhothama akhonza.
31 Sa’an nan Hezekiya ya ce, “Yanzu kun keɓe kanku ga Ubangiji. Ku zo ku kuma kawo hadayu da hadayun godiya zuwa ga haikalin Ubangiji.” Saboda haka taron suka kawo hadayu da hadayun godiya, da kuma dukan waɗanda suke da niyya suka kawo hadayun ƙonawa.
UHezekhiya wasephendula wathi: Selizehlukanisele iNkosi; sondelani lilethe imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga endlini yeNkosi. Ibandla laseliletha imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga, laye wonke olenhliziyo ekhululekileyo, iminikelo yokutshiswa.
32 Yawan hadayun ƙonawan da taron suka kawo, bijimai saba’in ne, raguna ɗari da kuma bunsurai ɗari biyu, dukansu kuwa domin hadayun ƙonawa ga Ubangiji ne.
Lenani leminikelo yokutshiswa ibandla elayilethayo lalizinkunzi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, inqama ezilikhulu, amawundlu angamakhulu amabili; konke lokhu kwakungokomnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
33 Dabbobin da aka tsarkake a matsayi hadayu sun kai bijimai ɗari shida da tumaki da kuma awaki dubu uku.
Izinto ezazingcwelisiwe kwakuzinkunzi ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezintathu.
34 Firistoci fa, suka kāsa sosai don fiɗan dukan dabbobin da za a miƙa don hadayun ƙonawa; saboda haka’yan’uwansu Lawiyawa suka taimake su har aka gama aiki kafin sauran firistoci su sami damar tsarkake kansu. Gama Lawiyawa sun fi firistoci himma wajen tsarkakewar kansu.
Kodwa abapristi babebalutshwana, okokuthi babengelakho ukuhlinza yonke iminikelo yokutshiswa; ngakho abafowabo amaLevi babancedisa waze waphela umsebenzi, labapristi baze bazingcwelisa, ngoba amaLevi ayeqondile ngenhliziyo kulabapristi ukuzingcwelisa.
35 Aka kasance da hadayun ƙonawa a yalwace, tare da kitsen hadayun salama da hadayun sha da suke tafe da hadayun ƙonawa. Saboda haka aka sāke kafa hidimar haikalin Ubangiji.
Leminikelo yokutshiswa layo yayiminengi, lamahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula kanye leminikelo yokunathwayo yeminikelo yokutshiswa. Ngokunjalo inkonzo yendlu yeNkosi yamiswa.
36 Hezekiya da dukan mutane suka yi farin ciki game da abin da Allah ya yi wa mutanensa, domin ya faru farat ɗaya.
UHezekhiya labantu bonke basebethokoza ngalokho uNkulunkulu ayekulungisele abantu, ngoba into yahle yenzeka.
