1 Hagi Josaia'a 8'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kinia efore huteno, 31'a kafu Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne.

UJosiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka eyisificaminwembili ubudala njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanye.

2 Hagi Josaia'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'ava huno ufrege efregera osuno, negeho Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava avariri'ne.

Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo njalo wahamba ngenyathelo likayise uDavida, kazange aphambukele kwesokudla loba esokhohlo.

3 Hagi Josaia'a 8'a kafuma kinima nemanino, 15ni'a kafu hu'neno agafa huno negeho Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno Anumzamofona monora hunte'ne. Hagi namba 12fu kafurera Juda mopafine, Jerusalemi kumapinena vano nehuno, maka havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina tapage hunetreno, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza zantamina antagi netreno, zafare'ma antre'za kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'aramima tro'ma hunte'naza zantamina rutmanatmanu hunetreno, kre mramrama hu'za havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'naza zantaminena rutmana tamanu hutre'ne. Hagi Josaia'a e'inahu huno Juda mopane, Jerusalemi kuma'enena azeri agru hu'ne.

Ngomnyaka wesificaminwembili wokubusa kwakhe, elokhu esesengumntwana, waqalisa ukumdinga uNkulunkulu kakhokho wakhe uDavida. Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili waqalisa ukuhlambulula elakoJuda laseJerusalema, wavala izindawo zokukhonzela, izinsika zika-Ashera, izithombe ezibaziweyo lezikhandiweyo.

4 Ana nehuno Josaia'a hige'za Bali havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramana vu itaramina negege'za tagnavazi netre'za, mnanentake'za insensima kre mnama nevaza itaraminena tagna vazitre'naze. Ana nehuno Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama me'nea zafaramine, kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'ama antre'za tro'ma huntenaza zantamine, kre mramrama hu'za havi anumzamofo amema'ama troma hunte'naza ame'ma'aramina rutmana hu'za rufuzafupete'za, ana anumzantminte'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'mokizmi matipi atre'za vano hu'naze.

Ngeziqondiso zakhe kwabhidlizwa ama-alithare aboBhali; waqoba ama-alithare empepha ayengaphezu kwawo; wahlikiza izinsika zika-Ashera, izithombe kanye lemifanekiso. Lokhu wakuvadlaza wasekuchithizela phezu kwamangcwaba alabo ababenikele imihlatshelo kulezozithombe.

5 Ana nehuno Josaia havi anumzantmimofo pristi vahe'mokizmi zaferinaramina Kresramana vu itazmire kreno Juda mopane, Jerusalemi kuma'enena eri agru hu'ne.

Watshisela amathambo abaphristi ema-alithareni abo, ngalokho wahlambulula elakoJuda laseJerusalema.

6 Hagi anazanke huno Manase nagamokizmi rankumapine, Efraemi nagamokizmi rankumapine, Simioni nagamokizmi rankumapine, Nafatari nagamokizmi rankumapine, tava'ozmire'ma me'nea kuma'ma havizama hu'nea kumatamimpinena vuno,

Emizini yakoManase, lako-Efrayimi lakoSimiyoni, kuze kuyefika koNafithali, lasemanxiweni aseduzane layo,

7 havi anumzamofonte'ma kresramana vu itaramine, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama me'nea zafaramina maka antagino kitagi kotago hunetreno, havi anumzamofo amema'aramima tro hunte'nazana rutamna huno ru fuzafupenetreno, mnanentake'za insensima kre mnama nevaza itaraminena Israeli mopafintira maka tagna vazitreteno, ete Jerusalemi kumate vu'ne.

wadiliza ama-alithare lezinsika zika-Ashera njalo wahlifiza izithombe zaba yimpuphu wachithiza ama-alithare empepha kulolonke elako-Israyeli aba yizicucu. Wasebuyela eJerusalema.

8 Josaia'ma 18ni'a kafuma kinima nemanino'a, havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza zantamina eri haviza huno Juda mopane, ran mono nonena eri agru huteno, Azalia nemofo Safanima, rankumamofo kva ne' Ma'aseiama, avonkre eri'za e'neria ne' Joahazi nemofo Joanki huno Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo no eriso'e hiho huno huzmante'ne.

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJosiya, ukuze ahlambulule ilizwe kanye lethempeli, wathumela uShafani indodana ka-Azaliya loMaseya umbusi wedolobho, loJowa indodana kaJowahazi, umlobi, ukuba bavuselele ithempeli likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.

9 Hige'za e'za Manase nagama, Efraemi nagama, mago'a Israeli naga'ma, maka Juda mopafinti vahetmima, Benzameni naga'ma, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanema Anumzamofo mono nompima ne-eza, zagoa eri'za Livae vahetami eme zami'zage'za, eri'za ugagota pristi ne' Hilkaiana ome ami'naze.

Baya kuHilikhiya umphristi omkhulu bamnika imali eyayilethwe ethempelini likaNkulunkulu, eyayiqoqwe ngabaLevi ababengabagcini beminyango beyiqoqa ebantwini bakoManase, lako-Efrayimi layo yonke insalela yabako-Israyeli lakubo bonke abantu bakoJuda labakoBhenjamini lababehlala eJerusalema.

10 Hagi ana zagoa erino mono noma eri so'e nehaza vahe'mokizimi kva vahe zamige'za, ana zagoa eri'za mono noma eriso'ema nehaza vahe'mokizmi miza sezmante'naze.

Basebeyiqhubela amadoda ayekhethelwe ukukhangela ukuqhubeka komsebenzi wasethempelini likaThixo. Lamadoda ayeholisa ababevuselela lokwakha kutsha ithempeli.

11 Hagi ana zagoma zami'nazana, zamagra ana zagoa eri'za noma negi'za vahe'ene ke'onkezama tagama hunte haverami miza nese'za, zafarami mizase'za Juda kini vahe'mo'zama eri so'ema osu'za atrazageno'ma havizama hu'nea nomofo zafaramina eri fatgo hu'naze.

Eyinye bayiqhubela ababazi labakhi ukuze bathenge amatshe abaziweyo lezigodo lezintungo zezindlu ezadilika amakhosi akoJuda engananzelele.

12 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za eri'zana hankaveti'za eri'naze. Ana eri'za vahetmima kegavama huzmante'naza vahetmina, Merari nagapinti Livae netre Jahati'ene, Obadaiakegi, Kohati nagapinti netre Zekaraiake Mesulamuke. Hagi ana maka Livae nagaki'za zavenama ahe'za zagame'ma hu zana antahi ankere'naza vaheki'za,

Amadoda ayisebenza imisebenzi yawo ngokwethembeka. Ayekhokhelwa njalo eqondiswa ngoJahathi lo-Obhadaya, abaLevi bosendo lukaMerari, uZakhariya loMeshulami abosendo lukaKhohathi. AbaLevi bonke ababengamagabazi kwezamachacho omculo,

13 eri'za vahetmina kegava nehu'za, erizante'ma vugote'zama kegavama hu'naza vahera e'ina hiho, amana hiho hu'za antahintahi zami'naze. Hagi mago'a Livae vahe'mo'za avonkre eri'za e'nerizageno, mago'amo'za Kasegema kreno eri fatgoma hu eri'za enerizageno, mago'amo'za kafante'ma kegava hu eri'za eri'naze.

babephethe izisebenzi njalo bekhangele izisebenzi kulowo lalowo umsebenzi. Abanye abaLevi babengonobhala, labalobi kanye labalindi beminyango.

14 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo nompima ana zagoma eri'za e'naza zagoma eri'za atineramizageno'a, pristi ne' Hilkaia'a Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea Kasege Avontafera keno eri'ne.

Besakhipha imali eyayingeniswe ethempelini likaThixo, uHilikhiya umphristi wafumana uGwalo loMthetho kaThixo owawuphiwe uMosi.

15 Hagi Hilkaia'ma ana kasege avontafema hakreno enerino'a, kasegema kreno eri fatgo nehia ne' Safanina amanage huno asmi'ne, Kasege avontafera Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti kena erue, nehuno ana avontafera Safani ami'ne.

UHilikhiya wathi kuShafani unobhala, “Sengilutholile uGwalo loMthetho ethempelini likaThixo.” Waselunika uShafani.

16 Ana higeno Safani'a ana avontafera erino kini ne' Josaia ome nemino, eri'zamofo agenkea anage huno asmi'ne, Eri'za vaheka'ama maka eri'zama zami'nana eri'zana knare hu'za e'nerize.

Ngalokho uShafani waluthatha walusa enkosini wayibikela wathi: “Izikhulu zakho ziyakwenza konke ozilaye ukuba zikwenze.

17 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima me'nea zagoa eri'za, eri'zante'ma vugote'za kegavama hu'naza vahetami zami'naze.

Sebeyibhadele imali leyo eyayisethempelini likaThixo njalo sebeyitshiyele abakhangeli bomsebenzi kanye lezisebenzi.”

18 Hagi mago'ane Safani'a kini nera asmino, Ama avontafera pristi ne' Hilkaia nami'ne, huno nesmino ana avontafera kini nemofo avuga hampri'ne.

Ngakho uShafani unobhala wabikela inkosi, wathi, “UHilikhiya umphristi usengiphe ugwalo.” Ngakho uShafani waselubala phambi kwenkosi.

19 Hagi kini ne' Josaia'ma kasegefima me'nea nanekeramima nentahino'a, zaza kukena'a tagato hu'ne.

Inkosi yonela ukuzwa amazwi oMthetho, yadabula izembatho zayo

20 Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a Hilkaiama, Safani nemofo Ahikamuma, Maika nemofo Abdonima, avon kre eri'za ne' Safanima, kini ne'mofo eri'za ne' Asaianena amanage huno zamasami'ne,

yapha leziziqondiso kuHilikhiya, lo-Ahikhami indodana kaShefani, lo-Abhidoni indodana kaMikha, loShafani unobhala kanye lo-Asaya inceku yenkosi yathi:

21 Hagi nagrane maka Israeli vahe'ene, Juda vahe'motanena ama avontafepima me'nea nanekerera na'a hugahumpi, vuta Ra Anumzamofona ome antahigeta keho. Na'ankure tagehe'mo'za ama avontafepima me'nea kasegea ovaririnazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a tagrira tusi arimpa aherante'ne.

“Hambani liyengibuzela kuThixo lensalela yako-Israyeli labakoJuda ngalokhu okulotshwe kulolugwalo olutholakeleyo. Lukhulu ulaka lukaThixo phezu kwethu ngenxa yabokhokho abangazange balilalele ilizwi likaThixo; kabenzanga ngendlela okulotshwe ngayo kulolugwalo.”

22 E'inage higeno Hilkaia'ene kini ne'mo'ma huzmantea vahe'mo'zanena, kasnampa a' Hulda kenaku Jerusalemi kumapina, noti kaziga mago kuma me'nea kumapi vu'naze. Hagi ana a'mofo neve'a, Salumukino Tokhati nemofo Hasra negeho'e. Hagi agra kukena nonte kva ne' mani'ne. Hagi ana kini ne'mo'ma hiankea ana vahe'mo'za kasnampa ara ome asami'naze.

UHilikhiya lalabo ayethunywe labo yinkosi bahamba ukuba bayekhuluma loHulida umphrofethikazi owayengumkaShalumi indodana kaThokhathi, indodana kaHasira, umlondolozi wezembatho. UHulida wayehlala eJerusalema endaweni yeSiqinti Sesibili.

23 Hagi ana kasnampa a'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, huramantegeta e'naza nera amanage huta ome asamiho,

Wathi kubo, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Tshelani umuntu olithume kimi lithi,

24 Ama kumate'ene ama ana kumapi vahete'enena, Juda kini ne'mofo avugama nehampri'za avontafepima me'nea hazenkezane, maka kazusizanena atrenugeno egahie.

‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uthi: Ngizakwehlisela lindawo labantu bayo incithakalo lazozonke izithuko ezilotshiweyo egwalweni olufundwe phambi kwenkosi yakoJuda.

25 Na'ankure zamagra Nagrira zamefi hunami'za, ru anumzantminte Kresramana nevu'za, monora hunente'za, havi zamavu'zmava'ma hazazamo'a, tusiza huno Nagrira nazeri narimpa ahe'ne. E'ina hu'negu ama kumapi vahetmima narimpama ahezmante'noa zana, mago zamo'a eri amne hugara osu'ne.

Ngoba bangidelile batshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha njalo bangithukuthelisile ngakho konke abakwenze ngezandla zabo, ulaka lwami luzakwehlela phezu kwalindawo njalo aluyikucitshwa.’

26 Hianagi Juda kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofoma ome agenoka huta antahiho huno'ma huramantegetama e'naza nera, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a ko'ma hamprizagenka antahi'nana kerera amanage hie huta ome asmiho,

Tshelani inkosi yakoJuda, elithume ukuzabuza kuThixo lithi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, mayelana lamazwi owezwileyo:

27 Na'ankure nagra ama kumate'ene, ama kumapi vahetema hunaku'ma hua nanekema nentahinka, kagu'a anteraminka Anumzamo'na navuga nemaninka, kukenaka'a tagato hunka kasunkura nehunka, zavira atanke'na antahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie huta ome asamiho.

Njengoba uzisolile wazehlisa ngaphansi kukaNkulunkulu wezwa ukuthi utheni ngalindawo labantu bayo njalo langenxa yokuthi uzehlisile wazithoba phambi kwami wadabula izembatho zakho walila phambi kwami, ngikuzwile, utsho njalo uThixo.

28 Hagi menina ama kumate'ene ana kumapi vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hanuazana onkenenka knare hunka mani'nenka frigahane. Anage hige'za ana vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za, Hulda'ma hiankea kini ne' Josaiana ome asmi'naze.

Wena ngizakususa ngikuse kubokhokho bakho, njalo uzangcwatshwa ngokuthula. Amehlo akho awayikubona leyoncithakalo engizayehlisela indawo le lakulabo abahlala khona.’” Ngempela bayithatha leyompendulo baya layo enkosini.

29 Higeno kini ne' Josaia'a mika Juda kumapi ranra vahetamine, Jerusalemi kumapi ranra vahetamina kehu atru hu'ne.

Inkosi yasibuthanisa bonke abadala bakoJuda labaseJerusalema.

30 Ana huteno vuno maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemi vahetamine, pristi vahetamine, Livae vahetaminena Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi zamavare atru higeno, ositeti'ma vuno ra vahetema vu'neana maka atru hu'naze. Ana hutazageno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma ke'za eri'naza avontafepima me'nea nanekea ranke huno maka hampri vagare'ne.

Yaya ethempelini likaThixo labantu bakoJuda, kanye labaseJerusalema, labaphristi kanye labaLevi labantu bonke kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu. Inkosi yabafundela wonke amazwi ayeseGwalweni lweSivumelwano, olwatholakala ethempelini likaThixo.

31 Ana huteno kini ne' Josaia'a kini vahe'mo'zama oneti'zare otino, Ra Anumzamofo kasege'ane, avu'ava'ane, tra ke'anema ama avontafepima krente'neana, maka nagu namenteti hu'na avaririgahue huno huvempa hu'ne.

Inkosi yema ensikeni yayo yavuselela isivumelwano sayo phambi kukaThixo, ukumkhonza uThixo lokwamukela imilayo yakhe, leziqondiso, lezimiso zakhe ngenhliziyo yayo yonke langomphefumulo wayo wonke, lokulalela amazwi esivumelwano esilotshiweyo ogwalweni.

32 Ana nehuno miko Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'ene, Benzameni naga'enena hige'za agri'ene oti'naze. Ana hazageno Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempa kemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za, zamafahe'mofo Anumzantera huvempa hu'naze.

Yasifungisa bonke ababeseJerusalema labakoBhenjamini ukuba bazasigcina; abantu baseJerusalema bakwenza lokho belandela isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.

33 Hagi mika Israeli mopa agu'afima kaza osu havi anumzantmimofo amema'aramina Josaia'a ru takoraku hunetreno, maka vahetmina hige'za Ra Anumzana zamagehe'mokizmi Anumzante monora hunte'naze. Hagi Josaia'ama kegavama hu'nea knafina Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzana atre'za ru anumzantmina monora huonte'naze.

UJosiya wasusa zonke izithombe ezenyanyekayo ezabelweni zonke ezazingezako-Israyeli, wenza bonke abako-Israyeli bamkhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo. Ngezinsuku zokuphila kwakhe kazange aphambuke endleleni kaThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
