UHezekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAbhiya indodakazi kaZekhariya.

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

Wasesenza okuqondileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengokwenza konke kukaDavida uyise.

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.

Yena, ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yokuqala, wavula iminyango yendlu yeNkosi, wayilungisa.

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

Wasengenisa abapristi lamaLevi, wababuthanisa egumeni elingasempumalanga.

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.

Wasesithi kubo: Ngilalelani, maLevi; khathesi zingcweliseni, njalo lingcwelise indlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, likhuphe ingcekeza 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.

Ngoba obaba babephambukile, benza okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, bayitshiya, baphendula ubuso babo bebususa endaweni yokuhlala yeNkosi, bafulathela.

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 leminyango yekhulusi, bacitsha izibane, kabatshisanga impepha, kabanikelanga umnikelo wokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endaweni engcwele.

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 lweNkosi lwaba phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema, yabanikela evalweni, ekuchithekeni, lekuncifelweni, njengoba libona ngamehlo enu.

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

Ngoba khangelani, obaba bawile ngenkemba, lamadodana ethu lamadodakazi ethu labomkethu basekuthunjweni ngenxa yalokhu.

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 kusenhliziyweni yami ukwenza isivumelwano leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ukuze ukuvutha kolaka lwayo kuphenduke kusuke kithi.

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, khathesi lingonwabi, ngoba iNkosi ilikhethile ukuthi lime phambi kwayo, liyikhonze, libe zinceku zayo labatshisi bempepha.

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.

Asesukuma amaLevi, oMahathi indodana kaAmasayi loJoweli indodana kaAzariya emadodaneni amaKohathi; lemadodaneni kaMerari oKishi indodana kaAbidi loAzariya indodana kaJehaleleli; lakumaGerishoni oJowa indodana kaZima loEdeni indodana kaJowa;

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

lemadodaneni kaElizafani oShimiri loJehiyeli; lemadodaneni kaAsafi oZekhariya loMathaniya;

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

lemadodaneni kaHemani oJehiyeli loShimeyi; lemadodaneni kaJeduthuni oShemaya loUziyeli.

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.

Basebebuthanisa abafowabo, bazingcwelisa, beza njengomlayo wenkosi ngamazwi kaJehova, ukuhlanza indlu kaJehova.

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.

Abapristi basebengena ngaphakathi kwendlu yeNkosi ukuyihlanza, bakhupha konke ukungcola abakuthola ethempelini leNkosi egumeni lendlu yeNkosi; lamaLevi akuthatha, akukhuphela esifuleni iKidroni ngaphandle.

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.

Basebeqala ukungcwelisa ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala, njalo ngosuku lwesificaminwembili lwenyanga bafika ekhulusini leNkosi; bangcwelisa indlu yeNkosi ngensuku eziyisificaminwembili; kwathi ngosuku lwetshumi lesithupha lwenyanga yokuqala baqeda.

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 phakathi kuHezekhiya inkosi bathi: Sesiyihlanzile yonke indlu yeNkosi, lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke, letafula lezinkwa zokubukiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke.

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.

Lazo zonke izitsha inkosi uAhazi eyayizilahlile ekubuseni kwayo, esiphambekweni sayo, sizilungisile sazingcwelisa, khangela-ke, ziphambi kwelathi leNkosi.

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.

UHezekhiya inkosi wasevuka ngovivi, wabuthanisa izinduna zomuzi, wenyukela endlini kaJehova.

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.

Basebeletha amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa lamawundlu ayisikhombisa lempongo eziyisikhombisa, kwaba ngumnikelo wesono sombuso lesendlu engcwele lesakoJuda. Wasesithi emadodaneni kaAroni, abapristi, akunikele phezu kwelathi leNkosi.

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.

Basebehlaba izinkabi, labapristi bemukela igazi balifafaza elathini; bahlaba lezinqama bafafaza igazi elathini; bahlaba lamawundlu bafafaza igazi elathini.

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.

Basebesondeza impongo zomnikelo wesono phambi kwenkosi lebandla, 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.

Abapristi basebezihlaba, benza ukubuyisana ngegazi lazo phezu kwelathi ukwenzela uIsrayeli wonke inhlawulo yokuthula. Ngoba inkosi yalaya: Umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono ngokaIsrayeli wonke.

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.

Wasebeka amaLevi endlini kaJehova elensimbi ezincencethayo, lezigubhu zezintambo, njalo lamachacho, njengomlayo kaDavida lokaGadi umboni wenkosi lokaNathani umprofethi; ngoba lumlayo wawungesandla sikaJehova ngesandla sabaprofethi 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.

LamaLevi ema elezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida labapristi belempondo.

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 waselaya ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi; kwathi ngesikhathi umnikelo wokutshiswa uqalisa, ingoma yeNkosi yaqalisa kanye lezimpondo, langezandla zezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.

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.

Lebandla lonke lakhonza, labahlabeleli bahlabelela, labakhalisi bempondo bakhalisa; konke lokhu, 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.

Lekupheleleni kokunikela inkosi labo bonke abatholakala layo bakhothama 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.

Khona uHezekhiya inkosi leziphathamandla bathi kumaLevi kawayidumise iNkosi ngamazwi kaDavida lakaAsafi umboni. Asedumisa kwaze kwaba yintokozo, akhothama akhonza.

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 wasephendula wathi: Selizehlukanisele iNkosi; sondelani lilethe imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga endlini yeNkosi. Ibandla laseliletha imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga, laye wonke olenhliziyo ekhululekileyo, 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.

Lenani leminikelo yokutshiswa ibandla elayilethayo lalizinkunzi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, inqama ezilikhulu, amawundlu angamakhulu amabili; konke lokhu kwakungokomnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.

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.

Izinto ezazingcwelisiwe kwakuzinkunzi ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lezimvu 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 abapristi babebalutshwana, okokuthi babengelakho ukuhlinza yonke iminikelo yokutshiswa; ngakho abafowabo amaLevi babancedisa waze waphela umsebenzi, labapristi baze bazingcwelisa, ngoba amaLevi ayeqondile ngenhliziyo kulabapristi ukuzingcwelisa.

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.

Leminikelo yokutshiswa layo yayiminengi, lamahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula kanye leminikelo yokunathwayo yeminikelo yokutshiswa. Ngokunjalo inkonzo yendlu yeNkosi yamiswa.

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 labantu bonke basebethokoza ngalokho uNkulunkulu ayekulungisele abantu, ngoba into yahle yenzeka.
