Ngakho u-Abhija waya kubokhokho bakhe wembelwa eMzini kaDavida. Indodana yakhe u-Asa wathatha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkosi, njalo ngezinsuku zokubusa kwakhe kwaba lokuthula elizweni okweminyaka elitshumi.
2 Hagi Asa'a fatgo avu'ava Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo avurera hu'ne.
U-Asa wenza okuhle lokulungileyo phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
3 Na'ankure Asa'a havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kre sramnavu itane, mono'ma hunentaza kuma'ma agonaregama me'neana taganavazitreno mono'ma hunentaza havene, havi anumza asera amema'ama antrente'nezama mono'ma hunentaza zafaraminena antagi atre'ne.
Wasusa wonke ama-alithare ezizweni lezindawo zokukhonzela, wadiliza izinsika zakhona lezithombe zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera.
4 Ana nehuno Asa'a maka Juda vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamofo monora hunenteta Agri kasegene, tra ke'ane amagera anteho huno hu'ne.
Walaya abakoJuda ukuba bakhonze uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, balandele yonke imithetho lemilayo yakhe.
5 Hagi maka Juda rankumampintira agonaregama havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine, mnanentake'zama kre mna nevaza itanena tagna vazinetreno, Juda vahera kegava huzmantege'za hara osu fru hu'za mani'naze.
Wavala izindawo zokukhonzela lama-alithare empepha kuwo wonke amadolobho akoJuda, ngakho kwaba lokuthula ekubuseni kwakhe.
6 Hagi ana knafina ha'zana omnegeno, Asa'a Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimofo kuma kegina eri hankavetino ki'ne. E'ina kafu'afina ha'ma hu'zana omnene. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a mani fru ami'negu anara hu'ne.
Wakha imizi ebiyelweyo koJuda, njengoba kwakulokuthula elizweni. Kakho owalwa impi laye ngaleyominyaka, ngoba uThixo wamnika ukuphumula.
7 Hagi Asa'a amanage huno Juda vahe'mokizmia zamasami'ne, Ranra kumatmi kita vihurami tro huganegita, kvama hu'za mani'naza nontamine, kuma kafane hagentesune. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofo amage antonkeno, maka kaziga mopa tamigeta hara huta eri'none. Anage nehige'za ranra kumatmina negizageno maka zama hazazamo'a knareke'za hu'ne.
Wathi kwabakoJuda, “Kasakheni imizi le siyizingelezele ngemiduli, lemiphotshongo, lamasango leminxibo. Ilizwe lilokhu lingelethu, ngoba simtholile uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; simkhonzile usesilethele ukuthula inxa zonke.” Basebesakha njalo baphumelela.
8 Hagi Asa sondia vahera Juda nagapina ranra hankoramine karugru keveraminema eri sondia vahetmina 300tauseni'a manizageno, Benzameni nagapina osi hankoramine atine kevene eri sondia vahetamina 280 tauseni'a vahe mani'naze.
U-Asa wayelamabutho empi azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu koJuda, ayehlome ngamahawu amakhulu lemikhonto, lamanye azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili alamatshumi ayisificaminwembili koBhenjamini, ayehlome ngezihlangu ezincinyane lamadandili. Wonke kungamadoda alezibindi zokulwa.
9 Hagi Itiopia ne' Zera'a 1milioni'a sondia vahe nezmavreno, 300'a karisine erino hara eme huzmante'naku Juda mopafina, Maresa kumate ehanati'ne.
UZera umKhushi waphuma ebathukuthelele ephelekezelwa libutho elikhulu lezinqola zokulwa ezingamakhulu amathathu, waze wayafika eMaresha.
10 Anama higeno'a Asa'a ha' ome hunte'naku sondia vahe'ane vuno, Maresa kuma tava'onte Zefati agupofi ome avazuhumpi hu'za oti'naze.
U-Asa waphuma laye ukuyamjamela, bafika bajama eSigodini saseZefatha phansi kweMaresha.
11 Anama nehazageno'a Asa'a Ra Anumzana, agra'a Anumzamofontega anage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka, sondia vaheni'ane nagranena hankavetia omne vahe manunkeno, Zerana rama'a sondia vahetami mani'naze. Hianagi Kagra hankavezmima omne sondia vahe zamaza nehanke'za, hanave sondia vahera hara hu'za zamagateneraza Anumza mani'nane. Kagri kagire tamentinti hunankino, mago vahe'mo'e huno hara Ra Anumzamoka hu kagateoregahie.
U-Asa wasekhuleka kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe wathi: “Thixo, kakho omunye onjengawe ongavikela ababuthakathaka kwabalamandla. Sisize, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, ngoba thina sithembele kuwe, ngebizo lakho siphumile ukuba silwe lalelibutho lempi elikhulu kangaka. Oh Thixo, unguNkulunkulu wethu; umuntu angezake amelane lawe.”
12 Anagema hutegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Asane Juda vahetmimofo zmavuga, Itiopia sondia vahera hara hu zmagaterege'za, Itiopia sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za koro fre'naze.
UThixo wawatshaya wawabhuqa amaKhushi phambi kuka-Asa labakoJuda. AmaKhushi abaleka,
13 Hagi Asa'ene sondia vahe'amo'za zamagenere'za zamaheme vu'za Gerari kumate Itiopia vahera ome zamahage'za rama'a vahe fri'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofone sondia vahe'amofo avuga panani hu'za fre'naze. Ana nehu'za Itiopia vahe keonke'zana tusi'a zantmi eri'za e'naze.
kodwa u-Asa lamabutho akhe waxotshana lawo waze wayawafikisa eGerari. Kwafa amaKhushi amanengi okokuthi kasazange azame ukuqoqana kutsha; abhuqwa phambi kukaThixo laphambi kwamabutho akhe. Amadoda akoJuda atshuquluza impango enengi kakhulu.
14 Hagi Gerari tva'onte'ma megagi'nea kumatmina ha' huzmante'za kumazmia eri haviza hu'naze. Na'ankure tusiza huno Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri koro hu'ne. Ana nehu'za ana kumatamimpintira fenona eri'naze. Na'ankure ana kumatmimpina tusi'a feno me'nege'za anara hu'naze.
Atshabalalisa yonke imizi yaseGerari, ngoba ukuthukuthela kukaThixo kwakuphezu kwayo. Atshuquluza yonke imizi ngoba impango yayinengi kuyo.
15 Hagi sipisipi afutamine meme afutaminte'ma kegavama nehaza vahetmimofo seli nona zamahe'za tagana nevazi'za sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamine, kemoli afutaminena zamavare'za Jerusalemi e'naze.
