2 Kva 16

1 Hanki Remalia nemofo Peka'ma 17ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemani'geno'a, Jotamu nemofo Ahasi'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesikhombisa kaPhekha indodana kaRemaliya, u-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.

2 Ahasi'a 20'a kafu nehuno kinia fore huteno, Jerusalemi rankumapi mani'neno Juda vahera 16ni'a kafufi kegava hu'ne. Hagi Ra Anumzana agri Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'avaza nehuno, negeho Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava zana osu'ne.

U-Ahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili esiba yinkosi, yena wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Wayengafanani loyise uDavida, ngoba kazange enze ukulunga phambi kukaThixo.

3 Agra Israeli kinimoza'ma hu'naza havi avu'avaza zamavaririno nehuno, ko'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma, Israeli negazageno Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe natitre'nea vahe'mokizmi kasrino havizantfa hu'nea zamavu'zmavaza nehuno, ne'mofonena aheno tevefi kresramna vu'ne.

Wahamba ngezindlela zamakhosi ako-Israyeli waze wenza umnikelo wokutshiswa ngendodana yakhe, elandela izindlela zezizwe ezingamanyala uThixo ayezixotshe abako-Israyeli bengakangeni kulelolizwe.

4 Ana nehuno agra mono'ma nehaza kumatmimpine, agonaregane ranra zafaramimofo agafine vuno, Kresramana vu ofa nehuno mnanentake paurana tevefi kre mna vu'ne.

Wanikela imihlatshelo njalo watshisa impepha ezindaweni zokukhonzela phezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.

5 Hagi Ahasi'ma Juda kinima mani'negekea, Siria kini ne' Rezini'ene Israeli kini ne' Remalia nemofo Peka'enena Ahasina ha' eme hunenteke Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'na'anagi azeri agateore'na'e.

Ngakho uRezini inkosi yama-Aramu kanye loPhekha indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yako-Israyeli basuka bayahlasela iJerusalema bavimbezela u-Ahazi, kodwa abazange bamehlule.

6 Hagi ana knafina Siria kini ne' Resini'a Juda vahera Elati rankumapintira hahuzamagatereno ete ana kumara agrarega erinenteno, zamavare atrege'za vu'naze. Anama hige'za Idomu vahe'mo'za ana kumapina ufre'za umani'ne'za meni'nena mani'naze.

Ngalesosikhathi, uRezini inkosi yase-Aramu, wahluthuna i-Elathi wayibuyisela kuma-Aramu ngokududula abantu bakoJuda. Ama-Edomi ahle angena e-Elathi ahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.

7 Hagi Ahasi'a amanage huno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesantega nanekea atrente'ne. Nagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nena kagri kagorga manigahuanki, Siria kini ne'ene, Israeli kinimoke'ma eke ha'ma hunenanta'ana eme hara hunka naza huo.

U-Ahazi wathuma izithunywa ukuthi ziyekuthi kuThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya, “Ngiyinceku yakho lesichaka. Woza uzongikhulula esandleni senkosi yase-Aramu lasesandleni senkosi yako-Israyeli, amakhosi angihlaselayo.”

8 Ahasi'ma anagema huteno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ra mono nompine, kinimofo nompima zagoma nentafima me'nea silvane goliraminena erino, Asiria kinirega museza atrente'ne.

Ngakho u-Ahazi wathatha isiliva legolide elafunyanwa ethempelini likaThixo lasezindlini zenotho zesigodlweni senkosi wakuthumela kwaba yisipho senkosi yase-Asiriya.

9 Anama higeno'a Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Ahasi'ma hiankea antahinemino, sondia vahe'a zamavarege'za e'za Aramu vahe rankuma Damaskasi ha' eme hu'za ana kumara eri zamagrarega atre'naze. Anama huteno anante Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Siria kini ne' Resinina ahe nefrino, ana maka Damaskasima nemaniza vahera zamavareno Kiri rankumate ome kina huzmante'ne.

Inkosi yase-Asiriya yahle yamhlomulela ngokuhlasela iDamaseko yayithumba. Yakhupha ababehlala khona yabaxotshela eKhiri njalo uRezini yahle yambulala.

10 Anama hutegeno henka kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasi vuno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa ome kenaku vu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'ma Damaskasima mani'neno'a kresramna vu ita mago me'nea keteno, ana itamofo amema'a krenenteno, inankna huno anahukna itama tro'ma hania zamofo naneke'a ana maka krenteteno, atregeno pristi ne' Uria'ma Jerusalema mani'nerega vu'ne.

Ngakho inkosi u-Ahazi yasisiya eDamaseko ukuze ibonane loThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya. Yabona i-alithari eDamaseko yasithumela umdwebo walelo alithare ku-Uriya umphristi lengcazelo egcweleyo yokwakhiwa.

11 E'ina higeno pristi ne' Uria'a avompima kretregeno e'nea kante anteno Damaskasima me'nea kresramnavu itagna ita tro hu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'a Damaskasia atreno Jerusalemia viana ana ita pristi ne' Uria'a ko tro huvagarente'nego ome ke'ne.

Ngakho u-Uriya umphristi wasesakha i-alithari ngomdwebo owawuvela enkosini u-Ahazi eDamaseko waliqeda inkosi u-Ahazi ingakaphenduki.

12 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasiti eno, ana ita eme negeno erava'o huno, ana itare ofa hunaku mareri'ne.

Inkosi ithe isivela eDamaseko yabona i-alithari yahle yayanikela kulo.

13 Hagi Ahasi'a ana itarera tevefi kre fanane hu ofane, witi ofane, tima tagi tre ofanena nehuno, kora rutritri huno rimpa fru ofa kresramana vu itamofo agofetu hu'ne.

Inkosi yanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wamabele, yathela okunathwayo komnikelo, yachela igazi lomnikelo wobudlelwano e-alithareni.

14 Ahasi'ma ofama huteno'a, ko'ma bronsiretima tro'ma hu'naza kresramna vu ita, Ra Anumzamofo mono none, kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo amu'nozanifima me'neana erino kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo noti kaziga erinte'ne.

I-alithari lethusi elalimi phambi kukaThixo yaliletha livela ngaphambili ethempelini, phakathi kwe-alithari elitsha lethempeli likaThixo, yalifaka ngenyakatho ye-alithare elitsha.

15 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a amanage huno pristi ne' Uriana asmi'ne, kasefa'ma trohu kresramna vu itarera, nanterana tevefi kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, kinaga witi ofa nehunka, kinimofo kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, witi ofa'anena nehunka, maka vahe'mokizmi tevefi kre fanane hu ofazamine witi ofazamine tima tagitre ofazaminena nehunka, ana maka tevefima kre fananehu ofama hanaza ofamofone ruga'a ofama hanaza ofamofo korana erinka itamofo agofetu runi'ni huo. Hianagi bronsireti'ma trohu ita, nagri su'za me'nenige'na ana itare nagra ofa nehu'na, nanknazama nagripima hania zamofona Ra Anumzamofona antahigegahue.

Inkosi u-Ahazi yasilaya u-Uriya umphristi yathi, “Phezu kwe-alithari elikhulu elitsha, nikela umnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni kuthi ntambama kube ngumnikelo wamabele, lomnikelo wabantu bonke elizweni, lomnikelo wabo wonke wamabele kanye lowokunathwayo. Chela i-alithari ngalo lonke igazi leminikelo yokutshiswa kanye lemihlatshelo. Kodwa ngizasebenzisa i-alithari lethusi ukucela iziqondiso.”

16 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'ma asamia nanekea pristi ne' Uria'a amage anteno ana maka'zana tro hu'ne.

Ngakho u-Uriya umphristi wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe yinkosi u-Ahazi.

17 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira bronsireti'ma tro huntene'za erigantugmama nehaza tra'mofo asoparegati timafinte kavoa ome enerino, ana itare'ma me'nea osi zuomparamina eri'ne. Ana nehuno timafinte rankavoma, bronsireti'ma trohu bulimakaomo'ma vazisgama hunte'neana ana bulimakaona eritreno havereti tra'a trohuno ana timafinte rankavoa ana agofetu retrure'ne.

Inkosi u-Ahazi yasusa izinsimbi zenqodlana lemiganu phezulu, yethula uLwandle phezu kwenkabi zethusi ezazingaphansi kwalo, yalubeka phezu kwesisekelo selitshe.

18 Ana nehuno Ahasi'a Sabati zupama retaneraza seli nona ra mono no tvaontetira erinetreno, kinimofo nonteti'ma ra mono nomofo kumapima nevaza kahana renkanire'ne. E'ina maka'zama hu'neana, Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa antahintahi avaririno anara hu'ne.

Yasusa isembeso seSabatha esasakhiwe ethempelini, yavala intuba yokungena inkosi eyayiphandle kwethempeli likaThixo, ivumela okwakufunwa yinkosi yase-Asiriya.

19 Hagi Ahasi'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore hu'nea zamtamine, ana maka zama tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agenkea, Juda vahe kinimofo agigenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Ahazi, kanye lokunye akwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?

20 Hanki Ahasi'ma frige'za afahe'ima asenezmantazafi, Deviti rankumapi asente'naze. Anama hutazageno nemofo Hezekaia nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.

U-Ahazi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe eMzini kaDavida. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi.
