II Oihanaalii 36
1 A LAILA, lawe na kanaka o ka aina ia Iehoaza, ke keiki a Iosia, a hoolilo ia ia i alii ma Ierusalema mahope o kona makuakane.
Abantu belizwe bathatha uJehowahazi indodana kaJosiya bamenza inkosi eJerusalema esikhundleni sikayise.
2 He iwakalua na makahiki a me kumamakolu o Iehoaza i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema ekolu malama.
UJehowahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu yobudala esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okwezinyanga ezintathu.
3 A hoopau ke alii o Aigupita i kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema, a auhau oia i ka aina i hookahi haneri talena kala, a hookahi talena gula.
Inkosi yaseGibhithe yamethula ubukhosi eJerusalema njalo yathelisa abakoJuda amathalenta alikhulu esiliva kanye lethalenta legolide.
4 A hoolilo ke alii o Aigupita ia Eliakima kona kaikuaana i alii maluna o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema, a hoololi i kona inoa o Iehoiakima: a lalau iho o Neko ia Iehoaza i kona kaikaina a lawe aku ia ia i Aigupita.
Inkosi yaseGibhithe, yabeka u-Eliyakhimu, umfowabo kaJehowahazi, ukuba abe yinkosi yakoJuda laseJerusalema yasiguqula ibizo lika-Eliyakhimu laba nguJehoyakhimi. Kodwa uNekho wathatha umfowabo ka-Eliyakhimu uJehowahazi wamusa eGibhithe.
5 He iwakaluakumamalima makahiki o Iehoiakima i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema he umikumamakahi mau makahiki; a hana ino ia imua o Iehova kona Akua.
UJehoyakhimi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubudala esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lanye. Wenza ububi phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
6 Alaila, pii mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a hana paa ia ia i na kupee keleawe, a lawe aku ia ia i Babulona.
UNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wamhlasela wambopha ngamaketane ethusi wasemusa eBhabhiloni.
7 Ua lawe aku o Nebukaneza i kekahi o na kiaha o ka hale o Iehova i Babulona, a waiho ia mau mea iloko o kona luakini ma Babulona.
UNebhukhadineza wasuka lezinye impahla zethempeli likaThixo wazisa ethempelini lakhe elaliseBhabhiloni.
8 A o na mea i koe a Iehoiakima i hana'i, a me na mea hoopailuaia ana i hana'i, a me ka mea i loaa iloko ona, aia hoi, ua kakauia ia mau mea iloko o ka buke no na'lii o Iseraela a me Iuda; a noho alii iho la o Iehoiakina kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaJehoyakhimi, lamanyala awenzayo lakho konke okwatholakala kulihlazo ngaye, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwamakhosi ako-Israyeli lakoJuda. UJehoyakhini indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.
9 Ewalu makahiki ko Iehoia kina i kona wa i alii ai; a noho alii iho la ia ekolu malama a me na la he umi ma Ierusalema; a hana ino ia imua o Iehova.
UJehoyakhini wayeleminyaka elitshumi lasificaminwembili ubudala esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okwezinyanga ezintathu lezinsuku ezilitshumi. Wenza ububi phambi kukaThixo.
10 A i ka pau ana o ka makahiki, hoouna mai ke alii o Nebukaneza, a lawe aku ia ia i Babulona me na ipu maikai o ka hale o Iehova, a hoolilo oia ia Zedekia kona hoahanau i alii maluna o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema.
Kwathi entwasa, inkosi uNebhukhadineza yathumela ukuthi bamlethe eBhabhiloni, kanye lempahla eziligugu ezazivela ethempelini likaThixo, wabeka uZedekhiya isinini sikaJehoyakhini ukuba yinkosi yakoJuda laseJerusalema.
11 He iwakaluakumamakahi makahiki o Zedekia i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema i na makahiki he umikumamakahi.
UZedekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lanye.
12 A hana ino ia imua o Iehova kona Akua, aole ia i hoohaahaa ia ia iho imua o Ieremia ke kaula i kana olelo ana, mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
Wenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe njalo kazange azithobe ngaphansi komphrofethi uJeremiya, owayekhulumela uThixo.
13 Kipi no hoi ia i ke alii ia Nebukaneza, ka mea nana i kena mai ia ia e hoohiki i ke Akua; hooolea ia i kona a-i, a hoopaakiki ia i kona naau i huli ole ai ia Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Wahlamukela inkosi uNebhukhadineza, owayemfungise ngebizo likaNkulunkulu. Waba lenkani, lenhliziyo elukhuni, kazange azithobe kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
14 A o na luna a pau o na kahuna, a me na kanaka, hoonui lakou i ka lakou hana hewa ana e like me na mea ino a pau o na lahuikanaka; a hoohaumia lakou i ka hale o Iehova ka mea ana i hoano ai ma Ierusalema.
Abakhokheli bonke babaphristi lababantu baqhubeka ngokungathembeki, belandela izenzo ezingamanyala zezizwe, bengcolisa ithempeli likaThixo, ayezehlukanisele lona eJerusalema.
15 A hoouna o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna io lakou la ma kana poe elele, e ala ana i ke kakahiaka nui, a e hoouna ana, no ka mea, miuamina ia i kona poe kanaka, a me kona wahi i noho ai.
UThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, wathumela ilizwi ephindaphinda ngezithunywa zakhe, ngoba wayelesihawu ebantwini bakhe kanye lendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
16 Aka, ua akaaka lakou i ka poe elele a ke Akua, hoowahawaha i ka lakou mau olelo, a hana ino aku i kana poe kaula, a aia mai la ka huhu o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, aole hoi mea e ola'i.
Kodwa izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu babezihleka ulunya, beseyisa amazwi akhe njalo beklolodela abaphrofethi bakhe lwaze lwavutha ulaka lukaThixo ebantwini bakhe kungasekho okunganceda.
17 No ia mea, hoouna mai la oia io lakou la i ke alii o ko Kaledea, a penehi ia i ko lakou poe kanaka ui i ka pahikaua iloko o ko lakou hale hoano; aole i aloha oia i ke kanaka ui, aole hoi i ke kaikamahine, aole i ka elemakule a me ke kolopupu; haawi oia ia lakou a pau loa iloko o kona lima.
Ngakho wathuma inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, yabulala amajaha akibo ngenkemba endlini engcwele, njalo akusindanga jaha loba ntombi, indoda endala loba oseluphele. UNkulunkulu wabanikela bonke esandleni sikaNebhukhadineza.
18 A me na kiaha o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea nui a me na mea liilii. a me na waihona mea laa o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka waihona waiwai o ke alii a me na kaukaualii ona; lawe ia i keia mau mea a pau loa i Babulona.
Wathutha zonke impahla zethempeli likaNkulunkulu wazisa eBhabhiloni, zonke ezincinyane lezinkulu, kanye lezenotho yethempelini likaThixo lezenotho yenkosi leyezikhulu zayo.
19 A puhi lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, a wawahi lakou i ka pa o Ierusalema, a puhi lakou i na hale alii malaila a pau i ke ahi, a wawahi i ko laila mau kiaha maikai a pau.
Batshisa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu njalo badiliza umduli weJerusalema; batshisa zonke izigodlo batshabalalisa lakho konke okwakuligugu khonapho.
20 A o ke koena, ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, lawe aku la oia ia lakou i Babulona; a lilo lakou i poe kauwa nana, a na kana poe keiki a hiki i ka lanakila ana o ke aupuni o Peresia;
Wathatha bonke ababesele bengadliwanga yinkemba wabasa eBhabhiloni baba yizichaka zakhe lezamadodana akhe kwaze kwangena umbuso wasePhezhiya.
21 I hookoia ka olelo a Iehova ma ka waha o Ieremia, a hiki i ka wa i hoomaha ai ka aina i kona mau Sabati; no ka mea, i kona wa i mehameha ai, hoomaha no ia, a lawa no na makahiki he kanahiku.
Ilizwe lazuza ukuphumula kwalo kwamasabatha; kusosonke isikhathi salo sencithakalo laphumula kwaze kwaphela iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa ukugcwalisa ilizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa nguJeremiya.
22 I ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, i hookoia'i ka olelo a Iehova ma ka waha o Ieremia, hoala ae o Iehova i ka naau o Kuro, ke alii o Peresia, a kena aku oia e kukala ma kona aupuni a pau, a ma ka palapala hoi i aku la,
Ngomnyaka wakuqala wenkosi yasePhezhiya uKhurosi, ukuze kugcwaliseke ilizwi likaThixo elakhulunywa nguJeremiya, uThixo wathinta inhliziyo kaKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya ukuba yenze isimemezelo kuwo wonke umbuso wayo, ukuthi sibhalwe phansi kuthiwe:
23 Peneia i olelo ai o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, Ua haawi mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka lani ia'u i na aupuni a pau o ka honua, a ua kauoha mai no hoi oia ia'u e hana i hale nona ma Ierusalema, ma Iuda. Owai la ka mea mawaena o oukou no kona poe kanaka a pau? e pii ae oia, a, o Iehova kona Akua kekahi pu me ia.
“Nanti ilizwi likaKhurosi inkosi yasePhezhiya elithi: ‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu wasezulwini unginike yonke imibuso yomhlaba njalo ungikhethile ukuba ngimakhele ithempeli eJerusalema koJuda. Loba ngubani, wabantu bakhe phakathi kwenu sengathi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe angaba laye, kahambe.’”
