13 Anage'ma nehigeno'a, mika Juda venenemo'za ne'one mofavrezmine, a'nezamine, mofavre'zmine Ra Anumzamofo avuga oti'za mani'nazageno,
UJuda wonke wasesima phambi kweNkosi, lensane zabo, omkabo labantwana babo.
14 ana vahe amu'nompi Zekaraia nemofo Jahazielinte Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a e'ne. Hagi Zekaraia'a Benia nemofo'e, Benia'a Jeieli nemofo'e, Jeieli'a Matania nemofo Livae nekino, Asapu ne' mofavreramimpinti ne' mani'ne.
Khona uJahaziyeli indodana kaZekhariya indodana kaBhenaya indodana kaJeyiyeli indodana kaMathaniya, umLevi emadodaneni kaAsafi, uMoya weNkosi wafika phezu kwakhe phakathi kwebandla.
15 Hagi Jahazieli'a amanage hu'ne, Mika Juda vahe'ma, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'motane kini ne' Jehosafetiganena antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ha'ma huramante'naku'ma, tusi'a sondia vahekrerfamo'zama aza vahekura tamahirahikura huta korora osiho, na'ankure ama hara tamagri hara omne'neanki, Anumzamofo ha' me'ne.
Wasesithi: Lalelani lonke bakoJuda labahlali beJerusalema, lawe nkosi Jehoshafathi; itsho njalo iNkosi kini: Lina lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo ngenxa yalelixuku elikhulu, ngoba impi kayisiyo yenu, kodwa ngekaNkulunkulu.
16 Oki'na uramita hara ome huzmanteho. Zamagra Zizi krahopinti marerigahazankita Jerueli hagege kokamofo zage hanati kaziga ome zamagegahaze.
Kusasa yehlani limelane labo; khangela, bayenyuka ngomqanso weZizi; lizabathola ekucineni kwesihotsha phambi kwenkangala yeJeruweli.
17 Tamagra ama ana hapina hara osugahazanki, oti hankavetita retrohuta manineta Ra Anumzamo'ma tamagritegama anteno tamagu'ma vaziniana keho. Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahe'mota korora nehuta tamahirahikura osiho. Ra Anumzamo'a tamagrane manigahianki, okina hara ome huzmanteho.
Kakusikwenu ukulwa kule impi; zimiseni lime, libone usindiso lweNkosi lani, Juda leJerusalema. Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; kusasa phumani limelene labo, ngoba iNkosi izakuba lani.
18 Anage'ma higeno'a, Jehosafati'a mopafi renaregeno, Juda vahe'mo'zane, Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzamofo avuga zamarena re'za kepri hu'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.
UJehoshafathi wasekhothamisa ikhanda emhlabathini, laye wonke uJuda labahlali beJerusalema bawa phambi kweNkosi, beyikhonza iNkosi.
19 Ana hazageno Kohati nagapinti Livae vahe'mo'zane, Kora naga'mo'zanena oti'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzana ranke hu'za zagamera hu'za agi'a ahentesga hu'naze.
AmaLevi kubantwana bakoKohathi lakubantwana bakoKora asesukuma ukudumisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ngelizwi elikhulu eliphezulu.
20 Hagi nanterame oti'za hagege kokampi Tekoa vu'naze. Hagi anama nevazageno'a, Jehosafati'a otino amanage hu'ne, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'enena kama antahiho, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofonte tamentintia hinkeno tamagu vazino tamaza nehina, Agri kasnampa vahetmimofo kere tamentinti nehuta, knarera huta manigahaze.
Basebevuka ekuseni kakhulu, baphuma baya enkangala yeThekhowa; lekuphumeni kwabo uJehoshafathi wema wathi: Ngilalelani Juda labahlali beJerusalema. Kholwani eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lizaqiniswa; likholwe kubaprofethi bayo, lizaphumelela.
21 Hagi zamavare atru huno ana nanekema zmasamiteno'a, ruotge'ma hu'nea kukena hu'neza vugote'za nevu'za zagamera hu'za Ra Anumzamofoma agima ahentesgama hanaza vahetami zamazeri oti'ne. Hagi anama hutege'za amanage hu'za ana zagamera hu'naze, Ra Anumzamofona susu huntone, na'ankure avesirante'nea zamo'a mevava huno vugahie.
Esecebisene labantu wamisela iNkosi abahlabeleli, abazadumisa ubuhle bobungcwele, ekuphumeni phambi kwabahlomileyo, besithi: Dumisani iNkosi, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube nininini.
22 Anagema hutege'za agafa hu'za zagamera ranke hu'za nehazageno Amoni vahe'ma, Moapu vahe'ma, Seiri agonafima nemaniza vahetaminena Ra Anumzamo'a agafa huno zamazeri savri hige'za, hara zamagra zamagra hu'za ohefri ahefria hu'naze.
Kwathi lapho beqalisa ukuhlabelela lokudumisa, iNkosi yabeka abacathameli ukumelana labantwana bakoAmoni, uMowabi, lentaba iSeyiri, ababezemelana loJuda; basebetshaywa.
23 Amoni vahe'ene Moapu vahe'mo'zanena rukrahe hu'za, Seiri agonafi vahera hara huzmante'za zamahe'naze. Hagi Seiri agonafi vahe'ma zamahe vagamarete'za, ete Moapu vahe'mo'zane Amoni vahe'mo'za oti'za zamagra zamagra ohefri ahefri hu'naze.
Ngoba abantwana bakoAmoni labakoMowabi basukuma bamelana labahlali bentaba yeSeyiri ukutshabalalisa lokuchitha; njalo sebebaqedile abahlali beSeyiri, bancedisa ngulowo umakhelwane wakhe encithakalweni.
24 Hagi hagege kokamofoma uruha'ma nehaza agonare Juda vahe'mo'za emarerite'za, kegamanute'za hagege kokantegama kazana mago'mo'e huno atre'nora ofre'neanki ana maka vahetmimo'za fri'za uvase evase hu'nazage'za ke'naze.
UJuda esefikile enqabeni yokulinda enkangala bakhangela ngasexukwini, khangela-ke, kwakulezidumbu eziwele emhlabathini; njalo kungekho ophephileyo.
25 Hagi kini ne' Jehosafati'ene vahe'amo'zanema ana vahetmimofo fenoma erinaku'ma e'za eme kazana, ana fri vahetmimofo fenoma, ne'zama, kukenama, zago'amo mareri zantaminena, tusi feno me'nege'za eri vagaregara osu'naze. Ana fenoma eri'nazana tusi'a fenonkino, 3'a zage knafi fenona hantage'naze.
UJehoshafathi labantu bakhe sebefikile ukuphanga impango bathola phakathi kwabo ngobunengi, impahla lazo, lezidumbu, lezinto eziligugu, baziphangela baze behluleka ukuzithwala. Njalo baba lensuku ezintathu bephanga impango ngoba yayinengi.
26 Hagi namba 4kna zupa Beraka agupofi emeri tru hu'za muse nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo agi'a ahentesga hu'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana agupomofo agia Berake (Berakaema hu'nena asomure hu'ne) hu'za hazageno meno eno menina ama knarera ehanati'ne.
Njalo ngosuku lwesine babuthana esihotsheni seBeraka, ngoba lapho bayibusisa iNkosi; ngenxa yalokho babiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yisihotsha seBeraka kuze kube lamuhla.
27 Ana hutazageno Jehosafati'a vugota huzmantege'za maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena Ra Anumzamo'ma ha' vahe'zmima ha'ma huzmagaterea zanku zagame nehu'za tusi muse hume Jerusalemi vu'naze.
Basebebuyela, wonke umuntu wakoJuda leJerusalema, loJehoshafathi enhlokweni yabo, ukuthi babuyele eJerusalema belentokozo, ngoba iNkosi yabathokozisa phezu kwezitha zabo.

Basebengena eJerusalema belezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho lezimpondo, baya endlini yeNkosi.
29 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamaza huno ha' vahezmima zamaheankema ruga'a kumatmimpi vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, Anumzamofonkura tusi koro hu'naze.
Uvalo ngoNkulunkulu lwaselusiba phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe lapho besizwa ukuthi iNkosi yalwa lezitha zikaIsrayeli.
30 E'ina higeno Jehosafeti'ma kinima mani'noma vu'nea knafina, agri Anumzamo'a ha'zana eri atrege'za maka kazigatira hara eme huozmantage'za fru hu'za mani'naze.
Ngakho umbuso kaJehoshafathi waba lokuthula, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakhe wamphumuza inhlangothi zonke.

UJehoshafathi wabusa-ke phezu kukaJuda; wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAzuba indodakazi kaShilehi.
32 Hagi Jehosafati'a ko'ma nefa Asa'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'neaza huno, Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'ava hu'ne.
Wasehamba ngendlela kayise uAsa, kaphambukanga kuyo, esenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi.
33 Hianagi havi anumzante'ma mono hunentaza kumatmina eri haviza osu'neanki'za, vahe'mo'za zmafahemofo Anumzantera zamagu'aretira hu'za amagera onte'naze.
Lanxa kunjalo indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga; ngoba abantu babelokhu bengalungisanga inhliziyo yabo kuNkulunkulu waboyise.
34 Hagi Jehosafati'ma agafa huno kinima mani'neretima vuno vagamaretema vu'nea knafima tro'ma hu'nea zantmimofo agenkea, Hanani nemofo Jehu avontafepi krentegeno, Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krentenazafi me'ne.
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJehoshafathi, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe ezindabeni zikaJehu indodana kaHanani ezagoqelwa egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli.
35 Hagi henka Juda kini ne' Jehosafati'a havi avu'avazama nehia Israeli kini ne' Ahasia'ene eri hagerafino mani'ne.
Lemva kwalokho uJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wazihlanganisa loAhaziya inkosi yakoIsrayeli owenza ngenkohlakalo ekwenzeni.
36 Hagi ana kini netremokea vente trohuke Tasisi vunaku mago zanarimpa huteke, ana venteramina Ezion-Geba kumate trohu'na'e.
