1 Hanki Josaia'a 8'a kafu nehuno, Juda vahe kini efore huteno, 31ni'a kafufi Jerusalemi rankumatera kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Adaia mofa, Jedidakino Bozkati rankumateti a' mani'ne.

UJosiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka eyisificaminwembili eqalisa ukubusa njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lowodwa. Ibizo likanina lalinguJedida indodakazi ka-Adaya; wayevela eBhozikhathi.

2 Hagi Josaia'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avaza nehuno, negeho Deviti'ma Ra Anumzamofo nanekema amage'ma ante'neaza huno, avua keganti kegma osuno, Ra Anumzamofo nanekea ana maka amage ante'ne.

Wenza okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo njalo wahamba ezindleleni zonke zikayise uDavida, engaphambukeli eceleni kwesokudla loba esenxele.

3 Hagi Josaia'ma Juda vahe kinima 18ni'a kafuma nemanino'a, avontafe negrea ne' Azaria nemofo, Mesulamu negeho Safanina, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega vinogu anage huno hunte'ne,

Ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili wokubusa kwakhe, uJosiya inkosi wathumela unobhala wakhe, uShafani indodana ka-Azaliya, indodana kaMeshulami, ethempelini likaThixo. Wathi,

4 Kagra vunka ugagota pristi ne' Hilkiana ome asamigeno, Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'mo'zama mono no kahanteti'ma zonegiza zagoa hamprino.

“Hamba uye kuHilikhiya umphristi omkhulu uyekuthi kalungise imali elethwe ethempelini likaThixo, ekade iqoqwa ebantwini ngabalindi beminyango.

5 Hagi Hilkiana asamigeno ana zagoa erino, Ra Anumzamofo mono nonte'ma eri'zama eneriza vahete kva vahe zamino. Anama hani'ge'za ana vahe'mo'za eri'za vahera miza senezmantesage'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma havizama hu'nenia zana eri fatgo hugahaze.

Abayigcinise amadoda akhethelwe ukukhangela ukuqhubeka komsebenzi ethempelini. Babe yibo abazaholisa abasebenza ukulungisa kutsha ithempeli likaThixo,

6 Hagi kamunta vahe'ene kva vahe'zamine, havereti'ma noma eri fatgoma hu'za negiza vahe'ene, havema taga hu'za noma eri fatgohu eri'zama erisaza vahera, ana zagonu mi'zana huzmantegahaze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri fatgo hu'za kisaza zafane, ko'ma taga huno eri pehe hunte haveramina ana zagoretike mizasegahaze.

ababazi, abakhi, lababazi bamatshe. Babe yibo njalo abazathenga amapulanka lamatshe abaziweyo okulungisa kutsha ithempeli.

7 Hagi ana zagoma zamisaza kva vahera, inankna hutma zagoa netraze hutma zamantahi onkeho. Na'ankure zamagra fatgo hu'za eri'za eri vahe mani'naze.

Kodwa akudingeki ukuthi babike ngokusetshenziswa kwemali abayigcinisiweyo, ngoba basebenza ngokwethembeka.”

8 Hagi anankema asamitegeno'a, ugagota pristi ne' Hilkia'a amanage huno avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safanina asami'ne, Nagra Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti kasegema me'nea avontafera kena eri'noe, huno nehuno ana avontafera Safanina amigeno hampri'ne.

UHilikhiya umphristi omkhulu wathi kuShafani unobhala, “Sengithole uGwalo lwemiThetho ethempelini likaThixo.” Walunika uShafani walufunda.

9 Anama huteno'a avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safani'a vuno kini ne' Josaiana amanage huno ome asami'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'za ana zagoa eri vgrare'za Ra Anumzamofo mono noma eri fatgo hu erizante'ma kegava hu'naza kva vahe zamazampi ante'naze.

Ngakho uShafani waya enkosini, wayibikela wathi, “Izikhulu zakho sezibhadele imali ebisethempelini likaThixo njalo seziyigcinise izisebenzi kanye labakhangela ethempelini.”

10 Anage nehuno avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safani'a mago'ane kini nera amanage huno asami'ne, Pristi ne' Hilkia'a mago avontafe namige'na eri'na e'noe, nehuno ana avontafera kini ne'mofo avuga hampri'ne.

UShafani unobhala wasebikela inkosi esithi, “UHilikhiya umphristi usenginike ugwalo.” Ngakho uShafani waselubala phambi kwenkosi.

11 Hagi kini ne' Josaia'ma kasege avontafepinti nanekema nentahino'a, zaza kukena'a tagato tagutu hu'ne.

Inkosi ithe isizwile amazwi eNcwadi yoMthetho, yadabula izembatho zayo.

12 Hagi anante Pristi ne' Hilkiama, Safani nemofo Ahikamuma, Makaia nemofo Akborima, avontafe'ma negrea ne' Safanine, kini ne'mofo eri'za ne' Aisaianena kehige'za azageno hankave nanekea amanage huno huzmante'ne.

Yapha leziziqondiso kuHilikhiya umphristi, lo-Ahikhami indodana kaShafani, lo-Akhibhori indodana kaMikhaya loShafani unobhala kanye lo-Asaya inceku yenkosi, yathi:

13 Ra Anumzamo'a nagri'ene ana maka Juda vahe'motagura tusi arimpa aherante'negahie. Na'ankure tagrira tagehe'za ama kasege avontafepima tagriku'ma huno krente'nea nanekea amagera onte'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagra vutma Ra Anumzamofontega nunamu hinkeno, maka kasegemo hu'nea kante amage anteta na'a hugahumpi tasamino.

“Hambani kuThixo liyengibuzela mina labantu kanye loJuda wonke ngalokhu okulotshwe kulolugwalo osolutholakele. Lukhulu ulaka lukaThixo oluvuthayo kithi ngoba okhokho bethu kabawalalelanga amazwi alolugwalo: abakulandelanga konke okulotshiweyo kulo mayelana lathi.”

14 Hagi pristi ne' Hilkia'ma, Ahikamu'ma, Akbori'ma, Safani'ene Asaia'ma hu'za, kinimofo kukenama nentaza nonte kva nehia ne' Harhasi negeho Tikva nemofo Salumu nenaro kasnampa a' Hulda'ma mani'nerega, kenaku Jerusalemi kumamofona mago kaziga vu'naze.

UHilikhiya umphristi, lo-Ahikhami, lo-Akhibhori, loShafani lo-Asaya bayakhuluma lomphrofethikazi uHulida umkaShalumi indodana kaThikhiva, indodana kaHarihasi, umgcini wezigqoko. UHulida wayehlala eJerusalema Esigabeni Sesibili.

15 Anante Hulda'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie. Tamagri'ma huramantegetama nagrite'ma e'naza nera amanage hutma ome asamiho,

Yena wathi kubo: “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuthi, tshelani indoda elithume kimi ukuthi,

16 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra ama avontafepima kre'naza nanekema Juda kini ne'mo'ma hampri'nea nanekea, ana maka amage ante'na, amama mani'naza kuma'ene, vahe'enena tusi'a knazanteti zamazeri havizantfa hugahue.

‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Ngizakwehlisela incithakalo kulindawo lasebantwini bayo ngakho konke okulotshwe egwalweni olubalwa yinkosi yakoJuda.

17 Na'ankure zamagra Juda vahe'mo'za Nagrira zamefi hunami'za, havi anumzante monora hunente'za, zamagrama zamazanteti tro hu'naza zantaminte mnanentake'za kre mna vunte'naze. Anama hazazamo nazeri narimpa hazankino, ana narimpa ahezamo'a vagaoregahie.

Ngoba bangihlamukele, batshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, njalo bangithukuthelisile ngazozonke izithombe abazenze ngezandla zabo, ulaka lwami luzavutha kule indawo lungacitshwa muntu.’

18 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo antahintahigu'ma huramantegetama e'naza Juda kini nera, avontafepinti nanekema hamparizageno'ma antahi'nea zamofo kaziga, Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hutma ome asamiho.

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

19 Nagra amama mani'naza kuma'ene vahe'enena, knazanteti zamazeri haviza nehu'na, kazusi huntegahuema hu'noa nanekema nentahinka, Ra Anumzamo'na navure'ma kavufga anteneraminka, zaza kukenakama tagato tagutu nehunka zavi'ma ate'nana kavunura tamagerfa hu'na hago ke'noe huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Ngenxa yokuthi inhliziyo yakho ivumile njalo uzithobile phambi kukaThixo lapho usizwa engikukhulume ngendawo le labantu bayo, ukuthi bazakuba ngabaqalekisiweyo bachithwe, njalo ngenxa yokuthi udabule izigqoko zakho wakhala phambi kwami, ngikuzwile, kutsho uThixo.

20 E'ina hu'negu kagrira katrenugenka kafahe'zama nehazaza hunka frigahane. Anama hananke'za karimpa frune asegantesnagenka, ana knazama Juda vahe'ma zamisua knazana kagra onkegahane. Hagi ana kasnampa a'mo'ma anankema hutege'za, anankea eri'za kini nete vu'naze.

Ngakho ngizakusa kubokhokho bakho, njalo uzangcwatshwa ngokuthula. Amehlo akho awayikuyibona incithakalo engizayehlisela kule indawo.’” Ngakho izithunywa zayithatha leyompendulo zayisa enkosini.
