1 Hagi ana'ma higeno Juda kini ne' Jehosafati'a, hazenkea e'ori knare huno ete noma'arega Jerusalemia e'ne.
UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi esebuyela eJerusalema esigodlweni sakhe ephephile,
2 Hianagi kasnampa ne' Hanani nemofo Jehu'a, anante ome keno kini ne' Jehosafatina amanage huno asmi'ne, Kagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehuno, Ra Anumzamofoma avresrama hunentaza kefo vahe zamaza nehunka kavesizmante'nane. Ana hanku Ra Anumzamo'a tusi rimpa ahegante'ne.
uJehu umboni, indodana kaHanani, waphuma ukuba ayomhlangabeza wasesithi enkosini, “Kufanele yini ukuba uncedise ababi njalo uthande abamzondayo uThixo? Ngenxa yalokho, ulaka lukaThixo luphezu kwakho.
3 Hianagi kagripina mago'a knare zana me'ne. Na'ankure kagra mika Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama antre'za tro'ma hunte'nazana antagitrenka mika kagu'areti hunka Anumzamofona amage ante'nane.
Kodwa-ke kukhona okuhle ngawe, ngoba uziqedile elizweni lonke izinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera, inhliziyo yakho wayimisela ukudinga uNkulunkulu.”
4 Hagi Jehosafati'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'neno, Beseba kumateti agafa huteno vuno Efraemi agona moparegama uhanati'nea kumatmimpina vano nehuno, Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzamofoma avararihogura veamokizmia zamazeri hankavetino vano hu'ne.
UJehoshafathi wayehlala eJerusalema, waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBherishebha kusiya elizweni lamaqaqa lako-Efrayimi wabaphendula ukuba bamkhonze uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
5 Hagi maka Juda mopafima hanave vihuma hugagiterema hazageno me'nea ranra kumapina, nanekema refkoma hu kva vahetmina zamazeri otitere nehuno,
Wakhetha abehluleli elizweni, kuwo wonke amadolobho abiyelweyo akoJuda.
6 amanage huno zamasmitere hu'ne, Kva hu'neta vahetmimofo keaga refko hiho. Na'ankure tamagra vahe'mofo eri'zana e'norizanki, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za e'nerizankino, Agra tamagrane mani'nena keaga refko huta vahera zamaza hugahaze.
Wabatshela wathi: “Linanzelele elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleli umuntu kodwa lehlulela uThixo, yena uzalisiza ekwahluleleni.
7 Hagi menina atrenkeno Ra Anumzamofoma koroma hunenteno fatgo huno'ma refkoma hu avu'avamo tamagranena meno. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'a magomofontega anteno, magomofo azeri havizahu Anumza nera omani'ne. Hagi Agra vahe'mo'zama zamaza hinogu'ma masavema hu'za amisaza zana e'ori Anumza mani'ne.
Ngakho mesabeni uThixo linanzelele elikwenzayo, yahlulelani ngonanzelelo ngoba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakukho ukwehlulela kubi loba ubandlululo loba ukufumbathisana.”
8 Ana nehuno Jerusalemia Jehosafati'a mago'a Livae vahe'ene, pristi vahetamine, Israeli vahepima mago mago nagate'ma ugotama hu'ne'za keagama refkoma hanaza kva vahe zamazeri otige'za, ranra keagama Jerusalemi kumapima fore'ma hige'za keaga refko nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo eri'zana eri'naze.
Lakhona eJerusalema, uJehoshafathi wabeka abaLevi abathile labaphristi lezinhloko zezindlu zabako-Israyeli ukuba balawule umthetho kaThixo balamule lemibango. Babehlala eJerusalema.
9 Hagi agra amanage huno kea zamasmi'ne, Ra Anumzamofonku koro hunteta agorga'a mani'neta, tamagu'areti huta eri'zana eriho.
Wabanika iziqondiso ezithi: “Kumele lethembeke ngokumesaba uThixo, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo nye epheleleyo.
10 Hagi tamagri vahe'ma rankumapima nemaniza naga'mo'zama, vahe ahefri ke'ma eri'za ege, mago'a kasegeo, trake'ma hantagi'nenaza keagama eme hanageta, zamavumro zmantenke'za Ra Anumzamofo avurera kumira osiho. Hagi ana'ma osnazana Anumzamofo rimpahezamo'a tamagrite'ene tamafuhe'inte'ene egahie. Hagi kema antahitama ana'ma hanazana, nagatmimofo knazana tamagra e'origahaze.
Wonke amacala eza kini evela ezihlotsheni zenu kuwo wonke amadolobho elihlala kiwo loba kungamacala okuchitha igazi loba awokwephula umthetho, imilayo, izimiso loba iziqondiso, baxwayiseni ukuba bangoni kuThixo, funa ulaka lwakhe lwehlele phezu kwenu labafowenu. Lingenza lokho aliyikwenza isono.
11 Hagi antahiho, ugagota pristi ne' Amaria'a maka zama Ra Anumzamofonte'ma hanaza zantera kegava hugahie. Hagi Ismaeli nemofo Zebadaia'a Juda vahe'mokizmi rankva mani'neno maka keagama kini netegama erita esazana refko hugahie. Hagi Livae naga'mo'za eri'za vaheka'arami mani'neza kagri eri'zana erigahaze. Hagi hankavetita eri'zana e'nerinkeno, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgoma hu'za eri'zama erisaza naga'ene manigahie.
U-Amariya umphristi omkhulu nguye ozalikhangela emsebenzini wonke kaThixo, kuthi uZebhadiya indodana ka-Ishumayeli, umkhokheli wesizwe sakoJuda alikhokhele ezintweni eziqondane lenkosi, abaLevi labo bazakuba yizikhulu zenu. Yenzani ngesibindi, njalo sengathi uThixo angaba lalabo abazakwenza ngobuqotho.”
