2 Kroniku 13

1 Jeroboamu'ma 18ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemanigeno'a, Abija'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJerobhowamu uAbhiya wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.

2 Hagi Abija'a 3'a kafu Jerusalemia kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Gibea kumateti Urieli mofakino agi'a Mikaia'e. Hagi Jeroboamu'ene Abijakea ana knafina tusi ha' hu'na'e.

Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMikhaya indodakazi kaUriyeli weGibeya. Kwasekusiba khona impi phakathi kukaAbhiya loJerobhowamu.

3 Hagi Abija'a 400 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe'aramina zamavareno Jeroboamuna hara hunte'naku vigeno, Jeroboamu'a 800 tauseni'a hankavenentake sondia vahe zamavareno Juda vahera hara hu'zmantenaku e'ne.

UAbhiya wasehlela impi elebutho lamaqhawe empi, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. UJerobhowamu wasehlela impi ukumelana laye elamadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, amaqhawe alamandla.

4 Hagi Abija'a Efraemi agona kokampi Zemaraimi agonare oti'neno amanage huno kezanati'ne, Jeroboamugane, maka Israeli vahe'mota kama antahiho!

UAbhiya wasesima entabeni iZemarayimi esentabeni yakoEfrayimi wathi: Ngizwa Jerobhowamu, loIsrayeli wonke!

5 Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'ma hanavenentake huvempage huno, Israeli vahe kini trara Devitine agripinti'ma fore hunante anante'ma hanaza vahe'mokizmi kini tra mevava hugahie huno'ma hu'neana ontahi'nazo?

Kakusikwenu yini ukwazi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yanika uDavida umbuso phezu kukaIsrayeli phakade, kuye lakumadodana akhe ngesivumelwano setshwayi?

6 Hianagi korapara Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu, Deviti eri'za nemo otino Deviti nemofo kva ne'a Solomonina hararente'ne.

Kodwa uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, inceku kaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, wasukuma wavukela inkosi yakhe.

7 Ana'ma nehige'za mago'a kumazafa vahe'mo'za Solomoni nemofo Rehoboamu'na hararente'naze. Hagi ana knafina Rehoboamu'a osi mofavre mani'neankino, ana kezmirera mago zana osu'ne.

Kwasekubuthana kuye abantu abayize, abantwana bakaBheliyali, baziqinisa ukumelana loRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, uRehobhowamu esesengumfana njalo ebuthakathaka ngenhliziyo engemelane labo.

8 Hagi kagri'ma ohampriga'a hanave sondia vaheka'a manizageno, havi anumzama golire bulimakao anentama Jeroboamu'ma tro hugami'nea anumzama ante'nana zanku nentahinka, Ra Anumzamo'ma Deviti naga'ma huvempa huno ami'nea kini tra eri atregahue hunka nehano?

Khathesi-ke lina lithi lizamelana lombuso weNkosi esandleni samadodana kaDavida; futhi lilixuku elikhulu, kodwa lilamathole egolide uJerobhowamu alenzela wona abe ngonkulunkulu.

9 Hagi kagra Aroni naga'ene, Livae nagapinti Ra Anumzamofo pristi vahera zmahenatinka, ru mopafi vahe'mo'zama nehazaza hunka, kagra'a pristi vahetami zamazeri oti'nane. Hagi iza'oma mago agaho bulimakaogi, 7ni'a ve sipisipima avrenoma agra'ama azeri ruotge'ma hunaku'ma e'nea vahera, zamavarenka havi anumzamofo pristi vahe zmantanke'za manitere hu'naze.

Kalibaxotshanga yini abapristi beNkosi, amadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi, lazenzela abapristi njengezizwe zelizwe? Loba ngubani ozegcwalisa isandla sakhe ngejongosi, ithole lenkomo, lezinqama eziyisikhombisa uba ngumpristi wabangeyisibo onkulunkulu.

10 Hianagi tagra, Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofona tamagena huomi'none. Aroni mofavremo'za pristi eri'zana erizageno, Livae naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana zamaza hu'za e'nerize.

Kodwa thina, iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wethu, kasiyidelanga; labapristi abayikhonzayo iNkosi bangamadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi asemsebenzini.

11 Hagi zamagra mika kna nanterane, kinaganena tare zupa Ra Anumzamofontega ofane mnanentake insensinena kre mna vuntetere nehu'za, Anumzamofo avugama ante bretia goli itare nente'za, golire tro hunte'nea tavi azotare mika kinaga tavira rekru huntetere nehaze. Tagra Ra Anumzamofo amage anteta nevarurunketa, tamagra tamefi agrira humi'naze.

Njalo bayahlabela iNkosi ikuseni ngekuseni lentambama ngentambama iminikelo yokutshiswa lempepha elephunga elimnandi; lokulungisa izinkwa etafuleni elihlambulukileyo, lokulumathisa uluthi lwesibane lwegolide lezibane zalo kusihlwa ngakusihlwa. Ngoba thina sigcina umlindo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, kodwa lina liyidelile.

12 Hagi menina antahiho, Anumzamo'a tagri kaziga mani'neankino, pristi vahe'mo'za ha'ma huramante ufe renaku retro hu'za mani'naze. Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamofona ha' reonteho. Na'ankure hara hu ageteoregahaze.

Ngakho khangelani, uNkulunkulu ulathi eyinhloko, labapristi bakhe belempondo zokukhalisa ukuhlaba umkhosi bemelene lani. Bantwana bakoIsrayeli, lingalwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngoba kaliyikuphumelela.

13 Hagi Jeroboamu'a sondia vahetmina huzmantege'za zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naku kafona ome ante'naze. Hagi mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za Juda sondia vahe zamavuga manizage'za, mago'amo'za zamefi kafona eme ante'naze.

Kodwa uJerobhowamu wayebhodise abacathameli ukuthi beze bengasemva kwabo. Ngakho babephambi kukaJuda, labacathameli bengemva kwabo.

14 Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama kazana ha' vahe'mo'za zamavugati'ene zamefikati'ene e'naze. Ana'ma hige'za Ra Anumzamofontega zamazama hanigura krafage hazageno, pristi vahe'mo'za ufere'naze.

Lapho uJuda ephenduka, khangela-ke, impi yayimelene labo ngaphambili langemuva; basebekhala eNkosini, labapristi bakhalisa izimpondo,

15 Ana'ma hute'za Juda sondia vahe'mo'za ha'mahu kezati'naze. Hagi Juda vahe'mo'za hahu kezati'za krafagema nehazageno'a, Jeroboamune maka Israeli vahera Anumzamo'a hara huzmanteno, Abijane Juda vahe zamavuga hara huzmagatere'ne.

labantu bakoJuda bamemeza; kwasekusithi ekumemezeni kwabantu bakoJuda uNkulunkulu watshaya oJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke phambi kukaAbhiya loJuda.

16 Ana'ma higeno'a, Israeli vahe'mo'za koro frazageno, Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera Juda vahe zamazampi zamavarente'ne.

Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebaleka phambi kobuso bukaJuda, uNkulunkulu wasebanikela esandleni sabo.

17 Hagi Abija'ene Juda vahe'mo'za hanavenentake Israeli sondia vahera tusi vahekrerfa zamahe'nazankino, ana zupa 500 tauseni'a sondia vahe zamahe fri'naze.

UAbhiya labantu bakhe basebebatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu; kwasekusiwa ababuleweyo koIsrayeli, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.

18 E'ina hu'za Juda vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mo'za zamagra Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzante zamentintia hu'nazagu anara hu'naze.

Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bathotshiswa ngalesosikhathi, labantwana bakoJuda baba lamandla ngoba beyama eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.

19 Ana higeno Abija'ene sondia vahe'amo'za Jeroboamune sondia vahe'a zamahe'za zamarotgo hazage'za nefrage'za mago'a ranra kuma'zmia zamahe'za hanare'ne. E'i ana kumatmina, Beteli rankumaki, Jesana rankumaki, Efroni rankumaki, maka neone kumatmima ana rankumataminte'ma megagi'nea kumatmina zamahe'za hanare'naze.

UAbhiya wasexotshana loJerobhowamu, wathumba imizi kuye, iBhetheli lemizana yayo, leJeshana lemizana yayo, leEfroni lemizana yayo.

20 Hagi Abija'ma hanaventino kinima mani'neno'ma kegava hu'nea knafina, Jeroboamu'a mago'enena hihamua erino kinia omanigeno, Ra Anumzamo'a henka ahe fri'ne.

UJerobhowamu akabe esaba lamandla ensukwini zikaAbhiya. INkosi yasimtshaya, wafa.

21 Hianagi Abija'a tusiza huno hankavenentake kini efore nehuno, 14ni'a a'ne anteneno, 22'a ne' mofavreraminki, 16ni'a mofanegi huno zamante'ne.

Kodwa uAbhiya waziqinisa, wazithathela abafazi abalitshumi lane, wazala amadodana angamatshumi amabili lambili, lamadodakazi alitshumi lesithupha.

22 Hagi maka'zama Abijama hu'nea zamofo agenkea kasnampa ne' Ido avontafepi krente'naze.

Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAbhiya, lezindlela zakhe, lamazwi akhe, kubhaliwe ezindabeni zomprofethi uIdo.
