1 Hagi Hezekaia 25'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kini efore huno 29ni'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera'a Zekaraia mofakino agi'a Abija'e.

UHezekhiya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lemihlanu ubudala ethatha ubukhosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lasificamunwemunye. Ibizo likanina lalingu-Abhija indodakazi kaZakhariya.

2 Hagi agra Ra Anumzamofo avurera negeho Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno fatgo avu'ava hu'ne.

Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida.

3 Hagi Hezekaima kinima agafa huno nemanino'a ese kafumofo ese ikantera Ra Anumzamofo mono nonkafantamima ahenkanima re'nazana anagino eri hagro nehuno eri so'e hu'ne.

Ngenyanga yakuqala ngomnyaka wakuqala wokubusa kwakhe, wavula iminyango yethempeli likaThixo wayilungisa.

4 Hagi pristi vahe'ene Livae vahe'enena mono kumamofona zage hanati kaziga kehige'za eme atru hazageno,

Wamema abaphristi kanye labaLevi, wababuthanisa egumeni eliseceleni langempumalanga

5 amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagrama hanua kea Livae nagamota kama antahiho, menina tamagra'a tamazeri agru nehuta, Ra Anumzana tamagehe'i Anumzamofo mono nona azeri agru nehuta, ana mono nompima agru osu zantmima me'neana eri atreho.

wathi: “Lalelani kimi, lina baLevi! Zihlambululeni khathesi njalo lihlambulule lethempeli likaThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo. Lisuse amanyala endaweni engcwele.

6 Hagi tagehe'za Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofona netreza, amagera onte kefo avu'ava hu'naze. Zamagra Ra Anumzamofone, Agrama nemania mono noma'anena zamagena humi'naze.

Obaba babengathembekanga; benza okubi emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu bamdela. Indawo kaThixo bayincitsha ubuso bakhangela eceleni njalo bamfulathela uThixo.

7 Hagi ra mono nonkafana eriginente'za, zotare'ma tavima nereana husu hunente'za, mnanentake zane kre fananehu ofanena Israeli vahe Anumzamofo mono nompina kresramana ovu'naze.

Bavala njalo izivalo zomphempe bacitsha izibane. Abazange batshise impepha njalo kabalethanga iminikelo yokutshiswa endaweni engcwele kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

8 E'ina hazageno Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumate vahe'enena Ra Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahenezmanteno, zamazeri haviza hige'za vahe'mo'za nege'za kizazokago kema huzamante'naza zana tamagra tamavufintira ke'naze.

Ngakho ulaka lukaThixo selwehlele phezu kwabakoJuda laphezu kwabaseJerusalema; uThixo usebenze besabeka, bathuthumelisa baba yinto yokweyiswa, njengoba lizibonela ngawenu amehlo.

9 E'ina agafare tafahe'ina bainati kazintetira zamahe nefri'za, ne mofavretine, mofanetine, a'netinena kina huzmante'za zamavare'za vu'naze.

Lokhu sekubangele ukubulawa kwabo ngenkemba njalo lokuthi amadodana lamadodakazi labomkethu babe sekuthunjweni.

10 Hagi nagra menina nagu'areti hu'na Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzane eri hagerafi huvempage huankino tusi rimpama ahenerantea zamo'a rurava hegahie.

Khathesi ngifuna ukwenza isivumelwano loThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ukuze ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo lusidedele.

11 E'ina hu'negu namoheta erizantmia otreho, na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agri avugama eri'zama enerita ofama hanaza eri'za vahera ko tamagri huhampri tamante'ne.

Madodana ami, kalingabi ngabangananziyo ngoba uThixo uselikhethile lina ukuma phambi kwakhe limkhonze, limsebenzele lokutshisa impepha.”

12 Anagema hige'za oti'za ana eri'zama eri'naza Livae vahera, Kohati nagapinti Amasai nemofo Mahati'ma, Azaraia nemofo Joeli'e. Hagi Merari nagapintira, Abdi nemofo Kisi'ma, Jehaleleli nemofo Azaraia'e. Hagi Gesoni nagapintira, Zima nemofo Joa'ma, Joa nemofo Edeni'e.

Ngakho laba abaLevi bahle baqalisa umsebenzi: KwabakaKhohathi, uMahathi indodana ka-Amasayi loJoweli indodana ka-Azariya; kwabakaMerari, uKhishi indodana ka-Abhidi lo-Azariya indodana kaJehaleleli; kwabakaGeshoni, uJowa indodana kaZima lo-Edeni indodana kaJowa;

13 Hagi Elisafani ne' mofavrerarena Simri'ene Jeuelike. Hagi Asapu ne' mofavrerarena Zekaraia'ene Matanaiake.

kwabosendo luka-Elizafani, kunguShimiri loJeyiyeli; kwabosendo luka-Asafi, kunguZakhariya loMathaniya;

14 Hagi Hemani nagapintira, Jahieli'ene Simeike. Hagi Jedutuni nagapintira Semaia'ene Uzielike.

kwabosendo lukaHemani, kunguJehiyeli loShimeyi; kwabosendo lukaJeduthuni, kunguShemaya lo-Uziyeli.

15 Hagi ana Livae vahe'mo'za zamafuhe'ina zamagna kehu atru hu'za zamazeri agru hute'za, kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasegema avaririno zamasmia kante ante'za mono nona eri agru hu'naze.

Bathi sebebuthanise abafowabo bazihlambulula bona, bangena ukuyahlambulula ithempeli likaThixo, njengokuqondisa kwenkosi, eyayilandela ilizwi likaThixo.

16 Hagi ana pristi vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi mareri'za maka pehenama hu'nea zantamina kaza zantamina eri fegi'a mono kumapi atre'naze. Ana hutazage'za anantetira Livae vahe'mo'za eri'za Kidroni Agupofi vu'naze.

Abaphristi bangena endaweni engcwele kaThixo ukuba bayeyihlambulula. Konke okwakungcolile ethempelini likaThixo bakukhuphela egumeni lethempeli likaThixo. AbaLevi bakuthwala baya lakho eSigodini saseKhidironi.

17 Hagi ana vahetmimo'za ese ikamofona ese knazupa eri'zana agafa hu'za eri'za nevazageno 8ti knazupa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima ufre kafantera ehanati'naze. Hagi mago 8'a knafi mono noma eri agruhu eri'zana eri'za vu'za ese ikamofona 16ni knazupa ana eri'zana eri vagare'naze.

Baqalisa ukwahlukanisela ngosuku lwakuqala lwenyanga yakuqala, kwathi ngosuku lwesificaminwembili lwenyanga bafika emphempeni kaThixo. Ngezinsuku ezilandelayo ezificaminwembili bangcwelisa ithempeli likaThixo uqobo, baze baqeda ngosuku lwetshumi lesithupha lwenyanga yakuqala.

18 Ana hute'za vu'za Kini ne' Hezekaiana amanage hu'za ome asmi'naze, Hago tagra ana maka Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri agruhu vagareteta, kresra mnama vu itane maka anante'ma eri'zama e'neriza zantamine, ruotge bretima ante itane, anante'ma eri'zama eri zantaminena maka eri agru huvagare'none.

Basebengena enkosini uHezekhiya ukuba bayembikela bathi: “Sesilihlambulule lonke ithempeli likaThixo, le-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa lezitsha zalo zonke, kanye lethala lokwendlalela isinkwa esingcwelisiweyo kanye lazozonke impahla zakhona.

19 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'ma Ra Anumzamofoma amefi'ma hunemino mono noma'ama eri'negino, maka eri'za zantmima ana nompinti'ma eritrerema hu'nea zantamina eritru huta eri ante fatgo nehuta eri agru huteta Ra Anumzamofonte'ma kre sramnavu itamofo avuga antonkeno me'ne.

Sesilungise sangcwelisa zonke izitsha ezasuswa yinkosi u-Ahazi ngokungathembeki kwakhe eseseyinkosi. Khathesi seziphambi kwe-alithari likaThixo.”

20 Anagema hazageno'a, Hezekaia'a anante knazupa nanterame otino rankumapi eri'za vahe'aramina kehige'za atru hazageno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega zamavareno mareri'ne.

Ekuseni ngosuku olulandelayo inkosi uHezekhiya wabuthanisa izikhulu zedolobho ndawonye wasesiya ethempelini likaThixo.

21 Ana'ma higeno'a ana vahe'mo'za 7ni'a bulimakaonki, 7ni'a ve sipisipi afutminki, 7ni'a ve sipisipi afu anentatminki, 7ni'a meme afutminki hu'za, kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopare'ene, mono nonte'ene, Juda vahete'enema kumi ofama hu'zana avre'za vu'naze. Ana hazageno kini ne' Hezekaia'a Aronimpinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza pristi vahekura huno, Ra Anumzamofo kresramana vu itare afutamina aheta kresramana viho hu'ne.

Baletha inkunzi eziyisikhombisa, lenqama eziyisikhombisa, lamazinyane ezimvu amaduna ayisikhombisa kanye lempongo eziyisikhombisa kungumnikelo wesono sombuso, lesendlu yokukhonzela kanye lesikaJuda. Inkosi yalaya abaphristi, abenzalo ka-Aroni, ukunikela ngalokho e-alithareni likaThixo.

22 Hige'za pristi vahe'mo'za ana bulimakao afutamina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze. Ana nehu'za ve sipisipi afutamina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze. Hagi anantera sipisipi afu anentatmina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze.

Ngakho babulala inkunzi, abaphristi bathatha igazi bachela ngalo e-alithareni; kwalandela inqama abazibulala bachela igazi lazo e-alithareni; basebebulala amazinyane ezimvu bachela igazi lawo e-alithareni.

23 Ana hute'za kumite'ma ofama hu meme afutamina kini ne'mofo avugane maka vahetmimofo zmavugane zamavare'za azage'za, kini ne'ene maka vahe'mo'zanena zamazana ana meme afutami agofetu ante'naze.

Impongo zomnikelo wesono zalethwa phambi kwenkosi laphambi kwebandla, babeka izandla zabo phezu kwazo.

24 Ana hutazageno, ana pristi vahe'mo'za ana meme afutamina aheza korama'a tagiza maka Israeli vahe'mofo kumi nona huza Kresramana vu itare rutritri hu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne'mo'a huno, Maka Israeli vahete kre fanane hu ofane, kumite ofanena hiho huno huzmante'ne.

Abaphristi basebebulala impongo baletha igazi lazo e-alithareni kungumnikelo wesono ukuze kwenzelwe wonke u-Israyeli indlela yokubuyisana, ngoba inkosi yayilaye ukuthi kube lomnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono kunikelelwa wonke u-Israyeli.

25 Ana nehuno kini ne' Hezekaia'a Livae nagara zamazeri otitere hige'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi nase'nasepane, hapu zavenane, lairiema nehaza zavenane eri'za otihoma hire otitere hu'naze. Na'ankure e'i ana'ma hu'nazana Devitine, Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Gatine, kasnampa ne' Neteninema Ra Anumzamo'ma zamasamige'za hu'naza kante anteno zamazeri otitere hu'ne.

AbaLevi yababeka phakathi kwethempeli likaThixo belezigubhu, lamachacho lemihubhe njengalokho okwakumiswe nguDavida loGadi umboni wenkosi loNathani umphrofethi; lokhu kwakungumlayo kaThixo oweza ngabaphrofethi bakhe.

26 Hagi ko'ma Deviti'ma ruzahu ruzahu zavenaramima tro'ma hunte'neana Livae vahe'mo'za eri'neza retrotra hu'za otitere hu'naze. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zanena ufena eri'za otitere hu'naze.

Ngakho abaLevi balinda belamachacho kaDavida, abaphristi belamacilongo.

27 Ana hutazageno Hezekaia'a Kresramana vu itare Kresramana viho hige'za, tevefima kre fananehu ofama nehazageno'a, Ra Anumzamofo agima erisgama hu zagamera agafa nehazageno, ufena nerazageno, Israeli vahe kini ne' Deviti'ma tro'ma hu'nea zavenaramima eri'naza vahetmimo'zanena ana zavenaramina nehe'za zagamera hu'naze.

UHezekhiya wakhupha isiqondiso sokuba kwenziwe umnikelo wokutshiswa e-alithareni. Kuthe kuqalisa umnikelo, ukuhlabelela uThixo lakho kwaqalisa, kwahamba kanyekanye lamacilongo kanye lamachacho kaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli.

28 Ana'ma nehazageno'a maka vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunentazageno, zagame'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zagamera nehazageno, ufema neraza vahe'mo'za ufena re'naze. Hagi e'ina hu'za zagamera nehu'za monora nehazageno kre fanane hu' ofama kre'naza ofamo'a tefanane hu'ne.

Ibandla lonke lakhothama lakhonza, abahlabeleli behlabela labamacilongo bewavuthela. Konke lokhu kwaqhubeka kwaze kwaphela umnikelo wokutshiswa.

29 Hagi ana ofamo'ma tefananema hutege'za, kini ne' Hezekaia'ene mika anampima mani'naza zamare'na re'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

Ngemva kokuphela kweminikelo inkosi labo bonke ababekhona baguqa bakhonza.

30 Hagi kini ne' Hezekaia'ene vugota eri'za vahe'amo'zanena Livae vahe'tmina zamasmi'za, Devitine kasnampa ne' Asapukizni nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo agia erisga hiho hu'za zamasmi'naze. Anage hazage'za musezampinti nehu'za kepri hu'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

Inkosi uHezekhiya lezikhulu zayo yatshela abaLevi ukuba badumise uThixo ngamazwi kaDavida kanye laka-Asafi umboni. Ngakho badumisa ngokuhlabelela ngenjabulo bakhothamisa amakhanda abo bakhonza.

31 Ana hutazageno, Hezekaia'a anante huama huno, Menina Ra Anumzamofonte tamagra'a tamazeri ruotge hazanki, Kresramanama vu ofane, Ra Anumzamofoma susu hunte ofenena erita Ra Anumzamofo nompi eho. Anage hige'za ana vahetmimo'za kre fanane hu' ofama susu'ma hunte ofanena eriza neazageno, izano agu'amo'ma musema himo'a agra avesite musema huno'ma hu ofa erino etere hu'ne.

UHezekhiya wasesithi, “Selizinikele kuThixo khathesi. Wozani lilethe imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga ethempelini likaThixo.” Ngakho ibandla laletha imihlatshelo leminikelo, yokubonga, njalo ababelenhliziyo ezivumayo baletha iminikelo yokutshiswa.

32 Anama hazage'za Ra Anumzamofontegama tevefima kre fanane hu' ofa hu'zama vahe'mo'zama eri'za e'nazana, 70'a ve bulimakao afutminki, 100'a ve sipisipiafutminki, 200'a sipisipi anentataminki, hu'za avre'za e'naze.

Inani leminikelo yokutshiswa eyalethwa libandla kwakuzinkunzi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, inqama ezilikhulu lamazinyane amaduna ezimvu angamakhulu amabili, konke kungokomnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.

33 Hagi ana nehu'za erinte ruotge'ma hu'naza ofama eri'zama e'nazana, 600'a bulimakao afutminki, 3tauseni'a sipisipi afutami avre'za e'naze.

Izifuyo ezahlukaniselwa ukuba ngumhlatshelo kwakuzinkunzi ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lezimvu lembuzi ezizinkulungwane ezintathu.

34 Hianagi ana mika afutmima aheno kararuvazi pristi vahera rama'a omani'naze. E'ina hu'negu zamafuhe'za Livae naga'mo'za zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana enerizage'za rama'a pristi vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamazeri agru hute'za eri'za zamirera e'za eme zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana eri vagare'naze. Na'ankure Livae vahe'mo'za ana eri'zama eri'nazana zamagu'areti hu'za pristi vahera zamagatere'za zamagra'a zamazeri agrua hu'naze.

Kodwa, abaphristi babebalutshwana kakhulu ekuhlinzeni ezomnikelo wokutshiswa; ngakho basebencediswa ngabafowabo abaLevi waze waphela umsebenzi njalo abanye abaphristi baze bangcweliswa ngoba abaLevi babekunanzelele kakhulu ukuzingcwelisa kulabaphristi.

35 Hagi rama'a kre fanane hu ofama hazafina, arimpa fruhu ofama haza bulimakao afumofo afova'ane, waini ti ofanena hu'naze. E'ina hazageno Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima mono'ma hu'zana agafa hu'ne.

Umnikelo wokutshiswa wawumnengi, kanye lamafutha omnikelo wobudlelwano kanye lomnikelo wokunathwayo okwakuhambelana lomnikelo wokutshiswa. Ngakho lokhu kwaba yikuvuselelwa kwenkonzo ethempelini likaThixo.

36 Hagi Anumzamo'ma zamaza hige'za ame hu'za maka zama huvagama raza zankura Hezekaia'ene mika vahe'mo'zanena tusi muse hu'naze.

UHezekhiya labo bonke abantu bajabula ngababekuphiwe nguNkulunkulu ekwenzela abantu bakhe, ngoba kwakwenzakale ngokuphangisa.
