II Oihanaalii 23
1 A I ka hiku o ka makahiki hooikaika iho la o Iehoiada, a lawe pu ae la me ia ma ka berita i na luna haneri, ia Azaria ke keiki a Iehorama, a me Isemaela ke keiki a Iehohanana, a me Azaria ke keiki a Obeda, a me Maaseia ke keiki a Adaia, a me Elisapata ke keiki a Zikeri.
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 A kaahele ae la lakou ma Iuda a hoakoakoa lakou i na Levi mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale a pau o luda, a me ka poe koikoi o na makua o ka Iseraela, a hele mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
Bangena kulolonke elakoJuda, baqoqa abaLevi kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli. Ekufikeni kwabo eJerusalema,
3 A hana na kanaka a pau i berita me ke alii iloko o ka hale o ke Akua. Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, aia hoi, e noho alii auanei ke keiki a ke alii e like me ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no na keiki a Davida.
ibandla lonke lenza isivumelwano lenkosi ethempelini likaNkulunkulu. UJehoyada wathi kubo, “Indodana yenkosi izabusa, njengoba uThixo wathembisa abayinzalo kaDavida.
4 Eia ka mea a oukou e hana'i: O kekahi hapakolu o oukou e komo ana i ka la Sabati, o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, o lilo lakou i poe kiai puka.
Ngakho nanku okumele likwenze: Ingxenye yesithathu yenu baphristi labaLevi abalinda ngeSabatha bafanele balinde eminyango,
5 A e noho kekahi hapakolu o oukou iloko o ka hale o ke alii; o kekahi hapakolu hoi o oukou ma ka puka o ke kahua; a o na kanaka a pau loa iloko o ka lanai o ka hale o Iehova.
eyinye ingxenye yesithathu esigodlweni somndlunkulu kanye lenye njalo ingxenye yesithathu ezalinda eSangweni leSisekelo, kuthi wonke amanye amadoda abesemagumeni ethempeli likaThixo.
6 Mai komo kekahi o oukou iloko o ka hale o Iehova, ka poe kahuna wale no a me na Levi e lawelawe ana; e komo lakou, no ka mea, ua hoolaaia lakou; aka, o na kanaka a pau e kiai lakou ma kahi a Iehova i kauoha mai ai.
Kakho ozangena ethempelini likaThixo ngaphandle kwabaphristi labaLevi abazabe besemsebenzini; labo bezangena ngoba behlanjululwe, kodwa wonke amanye amadoda azalinda lokho azabe ekutshengiswe nguThixo.
7 A e ku na Levi a puni ke alii, kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona mea kaua iloko o kona lima; a o ka mea e komo e make oia; aka, o oukou, me ke alii o oukou i kona komo ana iloko a i kona puka ana iwaho.
AbaLevi bazahonqolozela inkosi, ngulowo lalowo wabo ehlomile. Loba ngubani ozangena ethempelini kumele abulawe. Lingaxekelani lenkosi loba kungaphi lapho ezabe ikhona.”
8 A hana iho la na Levi, a me ka Iuda a pau loa e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiada ke kahuna i kauoha mai ai; a lawe lakou kela mea keia mea i kona poe kanaka i ka poe i komo mai i ka la Sabati, a me ka poe i hele iwaho i ka la Sabati, no ka mea, aole hookuu o Iehoiada ke kahuna i na papa.
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 Haawi aku la hoi o Iehoiada ke kahuna na na luna haneri i na ihe, a me na aahuapoo, a me na palekaua, na mea a Davida ke alii, na mea hoi iloko o ka hale o ke Akua.
Wasenika abalawuli bamaviyo amabutho alikhulu imikhonto lamahawu amakhulu lamancinyane ayekade engawenkosi uDavida ayesethempelini likaNkulunkulu.
10 A hoonoho oia i na kanaka a pau loa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana mea kaua ma kona lima, mai ka aoao akau o ka hale a hiki i ka aoao hema o ka hale, ma kahi kokoke i ke kuahu a me ka hale a puni ke alii.
Wasemisa wonke amadoda, ngamunye ephethe izikhali zakhe ezandleni, ezingelezele inkosi eduze kwe-alithari lethempeli, kusukela eceleni langezansi kusiya enyakatho yethempeli.
11 A alakai mai la lakou iwaho i ke keiki a ke alii, a haawi aku ia ia i ka papale alii a me ke kanawai, a hooalii iho la ia ia; a poni aku la o Iehoiada, a me kana poe keiki ia ia, a olelo aku la lakou, E ola ke alii.
UJehoyada lamadodana akhe basebeveza indodana yenkosi njalo bayethesa umqhele; bayiqhubela lencwadi yesivumelwano bayibeka yaba yinkosi. Bayigcoba bavungama bathi: “Mpilonde nkosi!”
12 A lohe o Atalia i ka halulu o kanaka e mokuawai ana, a e hoomaikai ana i ke alii, hele mai la oia i na kanaka iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
U-Athaliya uthe esizwa umsindo wabantu begijima njalo behalalisa inkosi, wasuka waya kubo ethempelini likaThixo.
13 A ike ae la oia, aia hoi, ke alii e ku ana ma kona wahi ma kahi e komo ai, a, me ke alii na luna a me ka poe hookani, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina e olioli ana, a e hookani ana i na pu, a me ka poe mele, me ka lakou mau mea kani, a me ka poe e ao ana e hoolea aku; haehae iho la o Atalia i kona kapa, olelo aku la, He kipi e, he kipi e!
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 A o Iehoiada ke kahuna, alakai ae la ia iwaho i na luna o na haneri, a me ka poe luna koa, olelo aku ia lakou, E hoopuka aku ia ia iwaho o na keena o ka hale; a o ka mea e puka iwaho mamuli ona e make ia i ka pahikaua: no ka mea, olelo iho la ke kahuna, Mai pepehi ia ia ma ka hale o Iehova.
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 Kau aku la lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna ona; a hiki ia i kahi e komo ai iloko o ka puka lio ma ka hale o ke alii, pepehi lakou ia ia malaila.
Ngakho bambamba esefikile emangenelweni eSango laMabhiza emagumeni esigodlo, njalo kulapho abambulalela khona.
16 A hana o Iehoiada i berita mawaena ona, a mawaena o na kanaka a pau, a mawaena o ke alii, i lilo lakou i poe kanaka no Iehova.
UJehoyada wasesenza isivumelwano sokuthi yena kanye labantu lenkosi bazakuba ngabantu bakaThixo
17 Alaila, hele ae la na kanaka a pau i ka hale o Baala, a wawahi iho la ia mea, a me kona kuahu, a kuipalu no hoi lakou i na kii, a pepehi lakou ia Matana ke kahuna no Baala imua o na kuahu.
Bonke abantu baya ethempelini likaBhali, balidilizela phansi, babhidliza lama-alithare akhe lezithombe zakhe, babulala uMathani umphristi kaBhali phambi kwama-alithare.
18 Alaila, hoonoho o Iehoiada i na kiai ma ka hale o Iehova, ma ka lima o ka poe kahuna, ka Levi, ka poe a Davida i mahele aku ai no ka hale o Iehova, e mohai aku i na mohai o Iehova e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai o Mose, me ka olioli ana, a me ke mele, ma ka lima o Davida.
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 Hoonoho iho la ia i ka poe kiai ma na puka o ka hale o Iehova, i komo ole kekahi i haumia ma kekahi mea.
Wahlalisa njalo abalindiminyango emasangweni ethempeli likaThixo ukuze kungangeni loyedwa ongahlanjululwanga.
20 A lawe ae la oia i na luna haneri, a me na kaukaualii, a me na luna o na kanaka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a alakai ae la lakou i ke alii ilalo mai ka hale o Iehova mai; a komo lakou iloko ma ka puka kiekie, a i ka hale o ke alii, a hoonoho lakou i ke alii maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni.
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 A hauoli na kanaka a pau o ka aina; a ua maluhia ke kulanakauhale mahope o ko lakou pepehi ana ia Atalia me ka pahikaua.
njalo bonke abantu elizweni bajabula. Kwaba lokuthula kulolonke idolobho ngoba u-Athaliya wayesebulewe ngenkemba.
