II Na Lii 16
1 I KA makahiki nmikumamahiku o Peka ke keiki a Remalia, i lilo ai o Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke alii o ka Iuda, i alii.
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesikhombisa kaPheka indodana kaRemaliya uAhazi indodana kaJothamu inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.
2 He iwakalua na makahiki o Ahaza i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he umikumamaono na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema; aole ia i hana pono imua o Iehova kona Akua, e like me Davida kona kupuna.
UAhazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesithupha eJerusalema. Kenzanga-ke okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengoDavida uyise.
3 Aka, hele no ia ma ka aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, a hoohelo aku hoi i kana keiki iloko o ke ahi, e like me na mea hoowahawahaia o na lahuikanaka a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ke alo aku o na mamo a Iseraela.
Kodwa wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akoIsrayeli, yebo, futhi wenza indodana yakhe idabule emlilweni, njengezinengiso zezizwe iNkosi eyazixotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
4 A kaumaha aku no hoi a kuni i ka mea ala ma na heiau, a ma na pun, a malalo o na laau uliuli a pau.
Wanikela imihlatshelo watshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo laphezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza.
5 Alaila hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i Ierusalema i ke kaua; a hoopilikia lakou ia Ahaza, aole e hiki ia lakou ke hoopio ia ia.
Khona uRezini inkosi yeSiriya loPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, benyukela eJerusalema ukulwa, bamvimbezela uAhazi kodwa kababanga lakho ukunqoba.
6 Ia manawa, hoihoi aku la o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, ia Elata no Suria, a kipaku aka la i na Iudaio mai Elata aku: a hele mai ko Suria i Elata, a noho ilaila a hiki i keia manawa.
Ngalesosikhathi uRezini inkosi yeSiriya wabuyisela iElathi eSiriya, waxotsha amaJuda eElathi; amaSiriya asesiza eElathi ahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.
7 A hoouna aku la o Ahaza i na elele ia Tigelatepilesera ke alii o Asuria, i aku la, Owau no kau kauwa, a o kau keiki hoi; e pii mai oe, a e hoopakele ia'u mai ka lima mai o ke alii o Suria, a mai ka lima mai o ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e mai ana ia'u.
UAhazi wasethuma izithunywa kuTigilathi Pileseri inkosi yeAsiriya esithi: Ngiyinceku yakho lendodana yakho; yenyuka ungisindise esandleni senkosi yeSiriya lesandleni senkosi yakoIsrayeli abangivukelayo.
8 A lawe aku la o Ahaza i ke kala a me ke gula i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka waihonakala o ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la i makana no ke alii o Asuria.
UAhazi wasethatha isiliva legolide okwakutholwa endlini kaJehova lenothweni yendlu yenkosi, wathumela isipho enkosini yeAsiriya.
9 A hoolohe mai ke alii o Asuria ia ia; a hele aku la ke alii o Asuria i Damaseko, a hoopio aku la ia, a lawe pio aku la i kolaila ma Kira, a pepehi aku la ia Rezina.
Inkosi yeAsiriya yasimlalela, ngoba inkosi yeAsiriya yenyuka imelene leDamaseko yayithumba, yabathumbela eKiri abantu bayo, yabulala uRezini.
10 A hele aku la o Ahaza ke alii e halawai me Tigelatepilesera ke alii o Asuria ma Damaseko; a ike aku la ia i kekahi kuahu ma Damaseko; a hoouna aku la o Ahaza ke alii io Uriia la ke kahuna i ke ano o ke kuahu a me kana kii, e like me ka hana'na o ia mea a pau.
Inkosi uAhazi yasisiya eDamaseko ukuhlangana loTigilathi Pileseri inkosi yeAsiriya, yabona ilathi elaliseDamaseko. Inkosi uAhazi yasithumela kuUriya umpristi isimo selathi lomfanekiso walo njengokwenziwa kwalo konke.
11 A hana aku la o Uriia ke kahuna i ke kuahu e like me ka mea a pau a Ahaza ke alii i hoouna aku ai mai Damaseko aku; pela o Uriia ke kahuna i hana'i i ka hoi ana mai o Ahaza ke alii mai Damaseko mai.
U-Uriya umpristi wasesakha ilathi njengakho konke uAhazi akuthumela kuvela eDamaseko; uUriya umpristi wenza njalo, yaze yafika inkosi uAhazi ivela eDamaseko.
12 A hiki mai ke alii mai Damaseko mai, ike aku la ke alii i ke kuahu, a hele aku la a kokoke i ke kuahu, a kaumaha aku maluna ona.
Inkosi isibuyile eDamaseko inkosi yalibona ilathi. Inkosi yasondela elathini, yanikela phezu kwalo.
13 A puhi aku la i ka mohaikuni, a me kana mohai ai, a ninini iho la i kana mohai inu, a kapipi i ke koko o kana mau mohai hoomalu maluna o ke kuahu.
Yasitshisa umnikelo wayo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wayo wokudla, yathela umnikelo wayo wokunathwayo, yafafaza igazi leminikelo yokuthula eyayilayo phezu kwelathi.
14 A lawe mai no hoi ia i ke kuahu keleawe imua o Iehova mai ke alo mai o ka hale, maiwaena mai o ke kuahu a o ka hale o Iehova, a waiho aku la ia mea ma ka aoao akau o ke kuahu.
Kodwa ilathi lethusi elaliphambi kweNkosi yaliletha lisuka phambi kwendlu, lisuka phakathi kwelathi lendlu yeNkosi, yalifaka ehlangothini lwenyakatho lwelathi.
15 A kauoha aku la o Ahaza ke alii ia Uriia ke kahuna, i aku la, Maluna o ke kuahu nui e puhi aku i ka mohaikuni kakahiaka, a me ka mohai ai o ke ahiahi, a me ka mohaikuni a ke alii, a me kana mohai ai, me ka mohaikuni a na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a me ka lakou mohai ai, a me ka lakou mohai inu; a e kapipi maluna ona i ke koko a pau o ka mohaikuni, a me ke koko a pau o ka mohai: a no'u ke kuahu keleawe e ninau aku ai.
Inkosi uAhazi yasimlaya uUriya umpristi isithi: Phezu kwelathi elikhulu tshisa umnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni, lomnikelo wokudla wantambama, lomnikelo wokutshiswa wenkosi, lomnikelo wayo wokudla, lomnikelo wokutshiswa wabo bonke abantu belizwe, lomnikelo wabo wokudla, leminikelo yabo yokunathwayo; ufafaze phezu kwalo lonke igazi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lalo lonke igazi lomhlatshelo. Kodwa ilathi lethusi lizakuba ngelami ukubuza ngalo.
16 A hana iho la o Uriia ke kahuna e like me na mea a pau a ke alii, a Ahaza i kauoha aku ai.
U-Uriya umpristi wasesenza njengakho konke inkosi uAhazi eyayikulayile.
17 A oki iho o Ahaza ke alii i na kihi o na kumu, a lawe aku i ka ipu holoi mai o lakou aku; a lawe ae la ia i ka ipu nui mai na bipi keleawe mai malalo iho ona, a kau iho la ia mea maluna o na pohaku i hoonohoia.
Inkosi uAhazi yasiquma imiphetho yezisekelo, yasusa inditshi yokugezela kuzo, yethula ulwandle phezu kwenkabi zethusi ezazingaphansi kwalo, yalubeka phezu kokugandelwe ngamatshe.
18 A o ka lanai no ka Sabati a lakou i kukulu ai ma ka hale, a o ke keena komo a ke alii mawaho, hoohuli ae la ia mai ka hale o Iehova aku no ke alii o Asuria.
Lokwembesiweyo kwesabatha ababekwakhe endlini, lentuba yenkosi phandle, yakususa endlini yeNkosi, ngenxa yenkosi yeAsiriya.
19 A o na hana i koe a Ahaza, o na mea ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAhazi azenzayo, kazibhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
20 A hiamoe iho la o Abaza me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanuia oia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida: a nobo alii iho la o Hezekia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
UAhazi waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa kuboyise emzini kaDavida. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
