2 Kroniku 25

1 Amasia'a 25'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kinia efore huteno, 29ni'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera'a Jerusalemi kumateti akino, agi'a Jehoadini'e.

U-Amaziya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubudala ekubekweni kwakhe ukuba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lasificamunwemunye. Ibizo likanina linguJehowadani evela eJerusalema.

2 Hagi Amasia'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera knare avu'ava hu'neanagi, tamage huno agu'aretira amagera onte'ne.

Wenza okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo, kodwa kakwenzanga ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke.

3 Hagi Amasia'ma kini trate'ma umani hankavenetino'a, ko'ma ne'fama kinima maninege'za ahe fri'naza eri'za vahetamina, zamahe fri vagare'ne.

Kwathi umbuso wakhe usuqinile, wabulala izikhulu zakhe ezazibulele inkosi uyise.

4 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asamigeno kasege avontafepima krente'nea kante anteno, ana eri'za vahe'mokizmi mofavreramina ozamahe zamatre'ne. Hagi ana kasege avontafepina amanage hu'ne, mofavre'amo'ma hania hazenkerera nefana ahe ofrige, nefa'ma hu'nenia hazenkerera nemofona ahe ofriho. Hianagi iza'o kumima hanimo'a, agra'a kumimofo knazana erino fritere hugahie hu'ne.

Kodwa amadodana azo kawabulalanga, wenza okuseMthethweni, eNcwadini kaMosi, lapho uThixo wapha umlayo wathi: “Oyise kabayikubulawa ngenxa yabantwababo, labantwababo kabayikubulawa ngenxa yaboyise; ngulowo lalowo uzafela izono zakhe.”

5 Amasia'a Juda naga'ene Benzameni naga'enena kehige'za, kafu'zimimo'ma 20'a kafuma agatere'nea vahetmina, nagate nofite hu'za 300tauseni'a vahetami eri atru hu'naze. Hagi ana 300tauseni'a vahetmina kasefa vahetminki'za, hanko eri'za ha'ma huga vahetami zamavare atru hutegeno, ana vahe kevurera 100'a vahete kva vahe azeri onetino, 1 tauseni'a vahetema kegavahu kva vahe zamazeri otitere hu'ne.

U-Amaziya wabuthanisa abantu bakoJuda wabamisa ngezindlu zabo bephethwe yizinduna zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu kwelakoJuda lelakoBhenjamini. Wasebutha kusukela kwabaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu, wathola bezinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu, amadoda akhethiweyo, angaphuma impi, angahloma ngemikhonto langezihlangu.

6 Ana nehuno Amasia'a 100tauseni'a hanavenentake Israeli sondia vahetmina, kna'amo'a 3tauseni'a kilo hu'nea silva zagonuti azama hu'za ha'ma hanagura mizasege'za e'naze.

Wabuya waqhatsha ko-Israyeli amaqhawe alamandla azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ngamathalenta esiliva alikhulu.

7 Hianagi Anumzamofo kasnampa ne'mo'a eno amanage huno Amasiana eme asami'ne, Kini ne'moka ama Israeli sondia vahe'ma e'naza vahera atrege'za hatera kavaririza oviho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'enena nomanino, nomanino, maka Efraemi vahe'enena omani'ne.

Kodwa kwafika kuye inceku kaNkulunkulu yathi: “Nkosi yami, amabutho ako-Israyeli la akufanelanga aphume impi kanye lawe ngoba uThixo kakho kwabako-Israyeli, kakho lakubani ebantwini bako-Efrayimi.

8 Kagra korora osu hankavetinka hara ome hugahananagi, Anumzamo'a katrehanigeno ha' vahekamo'za hara hugateregahaze. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a agrake vahera zamaza hige'za hara hu agatenerazageno, Agrake'za vahera zmatrege'za hapina evuneramize.

Loba ungaze uhambe uyekulwa ngesibindi empini, uNkulunkulu uzakuchitha phambi kwesitha ngoba uNkulunkulu ulamandla okukusiza loba ukukuchitha.”

9 Higeno Amasia'a amanage huno Anumzamofo kasnampa nera asmi'ne, ana hu'neanagi 3tauseni'a kiloma hu'nea silva zagoma Israeli sondia vahe'ma mizama sezmante'noana inankna hugahie? Higeno Anumzamofo kasnampa ne'mo'a kenona hunteno amanage hu'ne, E'ima atre'nana zagoa Ra Anumzamo'a ru agatereno rama'a zago kamigahie.

U-Amaziya wasebuza inceku kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Pho ngizakuthini ngamathalenta alikhulu engiwabhadalele amabutho ako-Israyeli?” Inceku kaNkulunkulu yaphendula yathi, “UThixo angakunika okunengi kakhulu kulalokho.”

10 Anage higeno Amasia'a Efraemiti'ma e'naza sondia vahetmina huzmantege'za nozmirega vu'naze. Ana higeno, Efraemi sondia vahe'mo'za Juda vahetaminkura tusi zamarimpa ahenezmante'za nozmirega vu'naze.

U-Amaziya wawakhulula amabutho ayevela ko-Efrayimi wathi kawabuyele kibo. Lokhu amabutho abazondela abakoJuda abuyela kibo ngokufuthelana okukhulu.

11 Hianagi Amasia'a korora osuno, sondia vahe'a zamavareno Hage Agupoe nehaza agupofi vuno 10tauseni'a Seiri sondia vahetmina ome zamahe fri'ne.

U-Amaziya wasequnga isibindi, waphuma lamabutho akhe, waya eSigodini seTswayi, lapho abulala khona amadoda aseSeyiri azinkulungwane ezilitshumi.

12 Ana nehu'za Juda sondia vahetmimo'za 10tauseni'a ha' vahetmina zamavuaga zamazerite'za e'za have zavateti eme zamaretufe atrazageno havere zamaheno ru tagnatagnu vazige'za fri'naze.

Ibutho lakoJuda lathumba amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi ephila, lawaqhuba layawafikisa engqongeni yeliwa lapho awaphosela khona phansi aphahlazeka wonke aba yizicucu.

13 Ana'ma nehazageno'a, Amasia'ma huzmantege'zama ha'ma osu nontega vaza sondia vahe'mo'za, Juda mopafima me'nea rankumatamina Sameria kumateti eri agafa huteno vuno Bet-Horoni kumate'ma uhanati'nea kumatamimpi vahetamina, ha' eme huzmante'za 3tauseni'a vahe zamahe nefri'za, tusi'a fenozmi eri'za vu'naze.

Kwathi amabutho ayebuyiselwe emuva ngu-Amaziya ngoba engasafuni ukuthi amlwele impi, ahamba ehlasela imizi yaseSamariya laseBhethi-Horoni kwelakoJuda. Abulala abantu abazinkulungwane ezintathu njalo athutha impango enengi kakhulu.

14 Hagi Amasiama Idomu vahe'ma ha'ma ome huzmanteno zamahe fri vagamareteno ne-eno'a, Seiri vahe anumzana erino eazamo agra'a anumza eri'neseno, kepri huno monora hunenteno, ofa kremna vunte'ne.

U-Amaziya wathi esevela bulala ama-Edomi wabuya ethwele onkulunkulu babantu baseSeyiri. Wabamisa baba ngonkulunkulu bakhe wakhothama kubo wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa.

15 Ana'ma higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Amasiana tusi arimpa ahenenteno, kasnampa ne'a huntegeno amanage huno ome asami'ne, nagafare vahe'ama kagri kazampinti'ma zamagu'ma ovazia havi anumzana nevaririnka, monora hunentane?

Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha wathukuthelela u-Amaziya, wasethuma umphrofethi owafika wambuza wathi, “Kungani udinga uncedo kubonkulunkulu balababantu na, abehluleka ukuvikela abantu babo ekubahlaseleni kwakho?”

16 Hianagi kasnampa ne'mo'a ana nanekea huvaga ore'negeno, kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, kagrira kini vahe'ma antahintahizmi ne' kazeri oti'nazo? Kahesugenka frigahananki kasnampa kea osunka taganenka vuo. Higeno kasnampa ne'mo'a tagneana higeno anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a kahe frinaku nehige'na nagra antahi'nena nehue. Na'ankure knare antahintahima kamuana ontahinka kagra amazana nehane.

Wathi esakhuluma, inkosi yathi kuye, “Sikubekile yini ukuba ngumcebisi wenkosi na? Thula! Kungani udinga ukubulawa na?” Ngakho umphrofethi wema kodwa wasesithi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzimisele ukuthi akubhubhise, ngoba lokhu akwenzileyo kutsho ukuthi awuzange ulalele ukucebisa kwami.”

17 Ana hutegeno, Amasia'a antahintahima nemiza Juda kva vahetmina kehu tru huno keaga retro huteno, keagama erino vuno eno'ma hu vahera huntegeno Israeli kini ne' Jehoahasi nemofo Jehu negeho Joasintega vu'neana, hapi oge agea hanu'e huno kea atrente'ne.

Ngemva kokuba u-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda eseke wabuza abacebisi bakhe, wathumela ilizwi kuJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi, indodana kaJehu, inkosi yako-Israyeli wathi: “Woza, siqondane ubuso ngobuso.”

18 Anankema nentahino'a Israeli kini ne' Joasi'a amanage huno fronka kea Juda kini nera asami'ne, Lebanoni zafafinti ave'ave trazamo'a Lebanoni zafafi sida zafagura huno, nenamofona mofaka'a amigeno a' erinteno hu'ne. Hianagi Lebanoni zafafinti afi'zagamo eno ana ave'ave trazana eme repri'geno haviza hu'ne.

Kodwa uJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli waphendula u-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda wathi: “Isihlahla sameva saseLebhanoni sathumela umbiko kwesomsedari waseLebhanoni sathi: ‘Yendisela indodakazi yakho endodaneni yami ibe ngumkayo.’ Ngakho kwavela isilo saseLebhanoni sanyathela safohloza isihlahla sameva.

19 Hagi Amasiaga hunka Idomu vahe hara huzmagateroe hunka kavufga ra hane. Hianagi kagra omenka, nonka'are manio. Hagi kagrama hazenkema eri fore'ma hanunka, kagrane Juda vahe'enena frigahaze.

Uzitshela ukuthi usuyinqobile i-Edomi, khathesi usuziqhenya. Kodwa hlala ekhaya! Kungani uzibangela uhlupho oluzakuchitha luze luchithe loJuda na?”

20 Hianagi Anumzamo'a zamavareno ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi ome ante'naku Amasiana antahintahi'a erigigeno anankea ontahi'ne. Na'ankure zamagra Idomu vahe anumzama monora hunente'za amage'ante'nazagu anara hu'ne.

Kodwa u-Amaziya kazange alalele ngoba uNkulunkulu wayekumisile ukuthi uzabanikela kuJowashi, ngenxa yokukhonza kwabo onkulunkulu bama-Edomi.

21 E'ina higeno Israeli kini ne' Jehoasi'a marerino Juda vahe mopafi Bet-Semesi kumate, Juda kini ne' Amasia'ene ome tutagiha hu'na'e.

Ngakho uJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli wasehlasela. Yena kanye lo-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda baqondana ubuso ngobuso eBhethi-Shemeshi koJuda.

22 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Juda vahera hara huzmagaterazage'za, koro fre'za kumazmirega vu'za e'za hu'naze.

UJuda wachithwa ngu-Israyeli, kwathi amadoda wonke abalekela emizini yawo.

23 Hagi Israeli kini ne' Jehoasi'a, Juda kini ne' Joasi nemofo Ahazia negeho Amasiana Betsemesi kumateti azeriteno, avreno Jerusalemi kumate vu'ne. Ana huteno Jehoasi'a Jerusalemi kuma vihua Efraemi kafanteti eri agafa huno, tapage huno vuno Konae nehaza kafante ome atre'neankino, 180'a mita tapage hu'ne.

UJowashi inkosi yako-Israyeli wathumba u-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda, indodana kaJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, eBhethi-Shemeshi. Ngakho uJowashi waya laye eJerusalema njalo wadiliza umduli weJerusalema kusukela eSangweni lika-Efrayimi kusiya eSangweni laseJikweni isibanga esingaba ngamanyathelo angamakhulu ayisithupha ubude baso.

24 Hagi Jehoasi'a maka goline silvane maka zantamima Anumzamofo mono nompima Obed-edomu'ma kegavama hu'neana e'nerino, kini ne'mofo nompintira maka fenone zagonena e'nerino, vahe'enena kina huzmanteno zamavareno Sameria vu'ne.

Wasethatha lonke igolide lesiliva lazozonke impahla azithola ethempelini likaNkulunkulu ezazilindwe ngu-Obhedi-Edomi, kanye leziligugu zenotho yesigodlweni lezithunjwa, wasebuyela eSamariya.

25 Hagi Israeli kini ne' Jehoahasi nemofo Joasi'ma fritegeno'a, Juda kini ne' Joasi nemofo Amasia'a 15ni'a kafu mani'ne.

U-Amaziya indodana kaJowashi inkosi yakoJuda waphila okweminyaka elitshumi lemihlanu ngemva kokufa kukaJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli.

26 Hagi mikazama Amasia'ma kinima mani'neno hu'nea zantamina, esetetima vuno atumpare'ma vu'neana mika Juda vahe kinine Israeli vahe kini vahetmimofo zmagenkema krenentea avontafepi krente'ne.

Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Amaziya, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, azilotshwanga yini egwalweni lwamakhosi akoJuda lako-Israyeli na?

27 Hagi Amasia'ma Ra Anumzamofoma amagena humigeno, mago'a vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumapi oku'a kea retro hute'za ahe'za hazage'za, freno Lakisi kumate vige'za, anantega avaririza ome azeri'za ahe fri'naze.

Kusukela ekuphambukeni kuka-Amaziya engasalandeli uThixo, bamsongela eJerusalema wabalekela eLakhishi, kodwa bathumela amadoda amlandela eLakhishi ambulalela khonale.

28 Hagi avufga'a hosi afutamimofo agumpi erinte'za eri'za vu'za, Deviti rankumapi Jerusalemima agehe'mokizmima asente'naza matipi Juda vahe mopafi eme asente'naze.

Wabuyiswa esethwelwe ngebhiza wangcwatshwa labokhokho bakhe eMzini kaJuda.
