2 Kroniku 24

1 Hagi Joasi'a 7ni'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kini efore hu'neankino, 40'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera agi'a Sibiakino agra Beseba kumateti a' mani'ne.

UJowashi waba yinkosi eleminyaka eyisikhombisa yokuzalwa, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amane. Ibizo likanina linguZibhiya owayevela eBherishebha.

2 Hagi pristi ne' Jehoiada'ma mani'nea knafina, Joasi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avake hu'ne.

UJowashi wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo iminyaka yonke uJehoyada engumphristi.

3 Hagi Jehoiada'a tare atre Joasina avre amigeno, ne'mofara kasezmante'ne.

UJehoyada wamdingela abafazi ababili, wazala amadodana lamadodakazi.

4 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, Joasi'a Ra Anumzamofo mono no eri so'e huno kinaku agesa antahi'ne.

Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile uJowashi wabona kufanele ukuthi alungise kutsha ithempeli likaThixo.

5 Ana nehuno pristi vahetamine Livae vahetaminena kehu atru huno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Maka Juda mopafima me'nea rankumatmimpi vuta Israeli vahepintira kafune kafunema Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eriso'e huta ki'nuna silva zagoa zogita egahaze. Hagi anagema huteno'a, ame huta viho huno huzmante'ne. Hianagi Livae vahe'mo'za kema hiazana hu'za ame hu'za ovu'naze.

Wabuthanisa abaphristi labaLevi wathi kubo: “Yanini emizini yakoJuda liyeqoqa imali yomnyaka ngomnyaka kuye wonke umʼIsrayeli, lilungiswe kutsha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu wenu. Kwenzeni khathesi.” Kodwa abaLevi abazange bakwenze masinyane.

6 E'inama hazageno'a kini ne'mo'a ugota pristi ne' Jehoiadana amanage huno antahige'ne, Nahigenka Livae vahetmina ame hunka huozmantanke'za Juda mopafinti'ene Jerusalemi kumapintira Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Mosese'ma hu'nea kantera ante'za takesi zagone, kasegema ante nomofo zagoa zogiza nomaze?

Ngakho inkosi yabiza uJehoyada umphristi omkhulu yathi kuye, “Kungani ungatshelanga abaLevi ukuba baqoqe koJuda laseJerusalema umthelo owabekwa nguMosi inceku kaThixo kanye lasebandleni lako-Israyeli okweThente loBufakazi na?”

7 Na'ankure kefo avu'ava'ene a' Atalia mofavre'ramimo'za Anumzamofo mono nona tapage hu'za ufre'za, Ra Anumzamofo zanema hu'za eri ruotge'ma hunte'naza zantamina eri'za, Bali havi anumzamofonte mono hunte zantami ome ante'naze.

Amadodana ka-Athaliya umfazi oxhwalileyo adiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu abuye azisebenzisela lezinto zalo ezingcwele kuboBhali.

8 Anage nehuno kini ne' Joasi'a ke hige'za mago vogisi tro hu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono kuma kafante ante'naze.

Ngokulaya kwenkosi, kwenziwa ibhokisi labekwa phandle, esangweni lethempeli likaThixo.

9 Hagi Israeli vahetmima hagege kokampima mani'nazageno Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma hige'zama takisima zogi'za eme ami'nazaza hu'za, Judane Jerusalema nemaniza vahetega takisi zagoa erita eho huno kea atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.

Kwasekumenyezelwa kulolonke elakoJuda laseJerusalema ukuba kulethwe kuThixo, umthelo owawumiswe nguMosi inceku kaNkulunkulu enkangala ukuba uzakhitshwa ngabako-Israyeli.

10 Higeno maka kva vahe'mo'zane, maka vahe'mo'zanena muse nehu'za ana vogisifina zagoa eri'za eme nentazageno avite'ne.

Izikhulu zonke labantu bonke baletha okwabo ngokujabula, bakufaka ebhokisini laze lagcwala.

11 Hagi Livae vahe'mo'zama ana zago vogisima eri'za kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete'ene, zago'are'ma kegavama nehaza vahetema azage'za, ana vahe'mo'za ana zagoma ante vogisima kazama silva zagomo'ma avi'matenege'za ana zagoa ruherafi nente'za, ete eri'za ana kuma kafante ome antetere hu'naze. Maka kna ana huvava nehu'za tusi silva zago zogi'naze.

Kwakusithi nxa ibhokisi lingalethwa ngabaLevi ezikhulwini zenkosi zithi zingabona ukuthi sekulemali enengi, unobhala wesigodlweni lesikhulu somphristi omkhulu bafike bathulule okwakusebhokisini babe sebelibuyisela endaweni yalo. Bakwenza lokho ngezikhathi zonke baze babuthelela imali enengi kakhulu.

12 Hagi kini ne' Joasi'ene Jehoiadakea ana zagoa erike Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri so'ema hu' vahe zamazampi ante'na'e. Ana nehuke noma ki vahetamine, zamazanteti'ma keonkezama tro hu vahe'ene, ainine bronsinema kreno ke'onkezama trohu vahetaminena zagoa mizasezmantazage'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri so'e hu'za ki'naze.

Inkosi loJehoyada baholisa abantu ababesenza umsebenzi owawufanele wenziwe ethempelini likaThixo. Baqhatsha ababazi bamatshe lababazi ukuze bakhe kutsha ithempeli likaThixo, labakhandi bezinsimbi kanye labakhandi bethusi besakha kutsha ithempeli.

13 Hagi ana eri'za vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za eri'zana e'nerizageno, eri'zamo'a ome vagarege'za ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za Anumzamofo mono nona eri hanavetiza eri so'e hu'za ki'naze.

Amadoda ayebona ngokuqhutshwa komsebenzi ayekhaliphile, njalo umsebenzi ayewukhangele waqhubeka kuhle. Lakhiwa kutsha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu labuyela esimeni salo elaliyiso njalo baliqinisa.

14 Hagi ana eri'zama eri vagamarete'za amnema me'nea zago'a eri atru hu'za eri'za kini ne'ene, Jehoiadakizni eme znamizageke, ana zagoa erike Ra Anumzamofo nompima antesaza golire zantamima silvare zantamine tro hu'na'e. Hagi Jehoiadama pristima mani'nea kna'afina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompina vahe'mo'za ofa eri'za eme kresramna vu vava hu'naze.

Bathe sebeqedile, baletha imali eyasalayo enkosini lakuJehoyada, benza ngayo impahla zethempeli likaThixo: izitsha zokusebenzela kanye lezeminikelo yokutshiswa, izinditshi lezinye izitsha zegolide lezesiliva. UJehoyada esaphila, iminikelo yokutshiswa yayihlezi ikhona ethempelini likaThixo.

15 Hianagi Jehoiada'a 130'a kafu huteno ozafareno fri'ge'za,

UJehoyada wayeseluphele eleminyaka eminengi, wafa eleminyaka yokuzalwa elikhulu elilamatshumi amathathu.

16 kini vahetmima asenezmantazafi Deviti rankumapi asente'naze. Na'ankure agra Israeli vahete'ene, Anumzamofonte'ene mono nompine agra nagate'enena knare avu'avaza hu'ne.

Wangcwatshwa lamakhosi eMzini kaDavida ngenxa yalokho okuhle akwenza ko-Israyeli ekwenzela uNkulunkulu ethempelini lakhe.

17 Hagi Jehoiada'ma fritege'za Juda kumatamimpinti kva vahe'mo'za kini ne' Joasinte eza eme kepri hu'za ra agi nemi'za antahintahia eme amizageno, ana antahintahi zamia amage ante'ne.

Ngemva kokufa kukaJehoyada, izikhulu zakoJuda zayakhonza enkosini uJowashi, yazilalela.

18 Ana'ma hige'za kini ne'mo'ene vahetamimo'za Ra Anumzana zamagehe'i Anumzamofo mono nona atre'za, zafare'ma antre'za Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'naza zante'ene, kaza osu havi anumzantminte monora hunte'naze. E'ina hazageno Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahera Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.

Balidela ithempeli likaThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise, basebekhonza izinsika zika-Ashera, lezithombe zakhe. Ngenxa yalesisono, ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabakoJuda laseJerusalema.

19 Ra Anumzamo'a antahintahi zamima zamazeri rukrahe hanige'za Agritega ehogu'ma, kasnampa vahetmina huzmantege'za kefo avu'ava zana atretma Anumzamofonte eho hu'za ome zmasamizanagi, ana kezmia ontahi'naze.

Lanxa uThixo wathumela abaphrofethi ebantwini ukuba bababuyisele kuye njalo lanxa bafakaza ngokungavumelani labo, abazange babalalele.

20 Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a pristi ne' Jehoiada nemofo Zekaraiante hanavetino egeno, ana vahetmimofo zamavuga otino amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nahigeta Ra Anumzamofo kasegea amagera nontazageno, maka zama hazazamo'a knarera nosie? Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofona tamagena humizageno, Agranena ana zanke huno amagena tamagrira hurami'ne.

Ngakho uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela kuZakhariya indodana yomphristi uJehoyada. Wema phambi kwabantu wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguNkulunkulu: ‘Kungani lingalaleli imilayo kaThixo? Aliyikuphumelela. Ngenxa yokumlahla uThixo elikwenzileyo, laye uselilahlile.’”

21 Hianagi ahe frinaku kea retro hutazageno, kini ne'mo'a ahe friho hige'za Zekaraiana Ra Anumzamofo mono nonkumapi have knonu ahe fri'naze.

Kodwa bamhlamukela, kwathi ngokuqondisa kwenkosi bamkhanda bambulala ngamatshe egumeni lethempeli likaThixo.

22 Hagi Joasi'a Jehoiada'ma knare'zama hunte'nea zankura agesa ontahi, nemofo Zekaraiana ke'a omne vahera ahe fri'ne. Hagi havenknonu'ma Zekaraiama ahazagenoma nefrino'a amanage hu'ne, Amama haza zana Ra Anumzamo'a negeno, Agra'a nona huzmantesie.

INkosi uJowashi ayizange izihluphe ngomusa eyayiwenzelwe nguJehoyada uyise kaZakhariya kodwa yabulala indodana yakhe, yona yathi ekufeni kwayo, “UThixo kakubone lokhu, aphindisele.”

23 Hagi ana kafumo'ma vagamaneregeno kasefa kafuma agafama nehigeno'a, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'enena ha' eme huzmante'za, maka ranra kva vahetmina zamahe hana nehu'za, maka fenozmia eri'za Damaskasi kini netega atrazageno vu'ne.

Ekupheleni komnyaka amabutho ama-Aramu ahlasela uJowashi; ahlasela koJuda laseJerusalema abulala bonke abakhokheli babantu. Impango yonke ayithumela enkosini yawo eDamaseko.

24 Juda vahera rama'a sondia vahe manizageno, Siria sondia vahera osi'a vahe' e'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a Siria sondia vahe zamazampi Juda sondia vahera zamavarentege'za hara huzmagatere'naze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzamofo zamagena humi'naze. E'i ana agafare Joasina hazenkea ami'naze.

Kwathi loba impi yama-Aramu yayikade ize lamadoda amalutshwana, uThixo wanikela ezandleni zawo ibutho elikhulu kakhulu. Njengoba abakoJuda babemlahlile uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, uJowashi wehlulelwa ngokufaneleyo.

25 Hagi ha'ma huvagamanere'za, Joasina ahe kuzafa nente'za atre'za vu'naze. Ana'ma hazage'za pristi ne' Jehoiada nemofo Zekaraiama ahe fri'nea zante eri'za vahe'aramimo'za ke hugantugma hu'za tafe'are'ma masenere ahe frite'za, Deviti rankumapi ome asente'nazanagi, kini vahe'ma asezmante matipina aseonte'nazanki, rufi ome asente'naze.

Ama-Aramu athi esehlehla, atshiya uJowashi elimele kakhulu. Izikhulu zakhe zamhlamukela ngokubulala kwakhe indodana kaJehoyada umphristi, zahle zambulalela embhedeni wakhe. Ngakho wafa wayangcwatshwa eMzini kaDavida, kodwa kungasikho emathuneni amakhosi.

26 Hagi kema hugantugama huke Joasima ahe fri'na'a ne'trena, Amoni a'mo Simeati kasente'nea ne' Zabadi'ene, Moapu a'mo Simireti'ma kasente'nea ne' Jehozabatike ahe fri'na'e.

Laba abaceba ukumbulala kwakunguZabhadi, indodana kaShimeyathi owesifazane wama-Amoni loJehozabhadi, indodana kaShimirithi owesifazane wamaMowabi.

27 Hagi kini vahetmimofo zamagenkema krente'naza avontafepi, Joasi mofavrerami zamagenkene, kasnampa vahe'mo'zama agrikuma kasnampa kema hu'naza nanekea krente'naze. Hagi anama hutegeno'a nemofo Amasia Joasi nona erino kinia mani'ne.

Imbali yamadodana akhe, iziphrofethi ezinengi ngaye, lembali yokwakhiwa kutsha kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu kulotshiwe egwalweni lwezindaba zamakhosi. U-Amaziya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
