Ana nehuno Jerusalemi rankumamofo gavana ne' Josua kafa tva'onte'ma hoga kaziga me'nege'za havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama nevaza itaraminena eri haviza hutre'ne.

Wakhupha bonke abapristi emizini yakoJuda, wangcolisa indawo eziphakemeyo lapho abapristi ababetshisela khona impepha, kusukela eGeba kusiya eBherishebha. Wadiliza indawo eziphakemeyo zamasango ezisekungeneni kwesango likaJoshuwa umbusi womuzi, ezazingakwesokhohlo somuntu esangweni lomuzi.

11 Hagi kotama mani'za e'naza Juda kini vahe'mo'za mago'a hosi afu'ma havi anumza zage anumzamofontegama ami'naza hosirami amema'ma, Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafa tvaonte atruma nehaza kumapi ante'nazana Josaia'a eri atre'ne.

Lamalathi ayesephahleni lwendlu kaAhazi engaphezulu awenzayo amakhosi akoJuda, lamalathi uManase ayewenzile emagumeni womabili endlu yeNkosi, inkosi yawadiliza yawachoboza iwasusa lapho, yaluphosela uthuli lwawo esifuleni iKidroni.

13 Anama huteno'a Jerusalemi kumamofo zage hanati kaziga, Olivi agonamofo sauti kazigama, agoteno havizama hu'nea Saidoni vahe anumza Astoretine, Moapu vahe havi anumza Kemosine, Amoni vahe havi anumzama Molekinte enema kresramna vu itaramima, kini ne' Solomoni'ma tro'ma hunte'neana Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne.

14 Hagi have retru re'neza Asera havi anumzante mono'ma hunentaza havea erino rutamna tamanu hunetreno, zafare antre'za Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama trohu'za retruma re'nazana akasinetreno, ana zafama akasima atraza kerifina, Josaia'a vahe zaferinareti antevite'ne.

Wasephahlaza insika eziyizithombe, wagamula izixuku, wagcwalisa izindawo zazo ngamathambo abantu.

15 Hagi ko'ma Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma, Beteli ran kumate'ma havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte kuma'ene Kresramanama vu itama tro'ma hunte'neno, mono'ma hunenteno Israeli vahe zamatufege'za kumi hu'naza kumatmina ana zanke huno, Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne. Ana nehuno havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumate'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zantamina erino tevefi kregeno tetegeno, osa'a erino kane osi osi hu'ne. Ana nehuno Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama antre'zama tro hunte'nazana erino tevefi anazanke huno kre'ne.

Lelathi lalo elaliseBhetheli, lendawo ephakemeyo, ayenzayo uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati owenza uIsrayeli ukuthi one, kokubili lelolathi lendawo ephakemeyo wakudiliza, watshisa indawo ephakemeyo, wayichoboza yaba luthuli, watshisa isixuku.

16 Hagi Josaia'a anante oti'neno osi agonamofo asoparega keana, vahe'ma asenezmantaza havega me'negeno negeno, vahe huzmantege'za vu'za vahe zaferinaramina anampinti ome eri'za azageno, Jeroboamu'ma tro'ma hunte'nea itare ana zaferinaramina kreno ana ita, vahe zamavurera eri haviza hu'ne. Hagi e'i anazama Josaia'ma tro'ma hu'nea zamo'a, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma korapa kasnampa ke hunte'nea zamo nena raga'are'ne.

Lapho uJosiya ephenduka wabona amangcwaba ayelapho entabeni, wathuma wasekhupha amathambo emangcwabeni, wawatshisela phezu kwelathi, walingcolisa, njengelizwi leNkosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu ayelimemezele, owamemezela lamazwi.

17 Hagi anazama Josaia'ma huteno'a mago mati me'negeno negeno amanage hu'ne, Ama matira iza matire? Anagema hige'za Beteli rankumate vahe'mo'za asamiza, Juda kumateti mago kasnampa ne' eno, menima ama itare'ma tro'ma hana zamofonku, kasnampa kema hunte'nea ne'mofo mati me'ne.

Wasesithi: Yisikhumbuzo sani lesiyana engisibonayo? Abantu bomuzi basebesithi kuye: Lingcwaba lomuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda wamemezela lezizinto ozenzileyo umelene lelathi leBhetheli.

18 Hagi anante Josaia'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Mago vahe'mo'e huno zaferina'a avako osina atrenkeno meno. Anagema hige'za ana kasnampa ne'mofo zaferinane, mago'a Sameria kumateti kasnampa vahe zaferinanena atrazageno me'ne.

Wasesithi: Myekeleni, kakungabi lamuntu othinta amathambo akhe. Basebewayekela amathambo akhe kanye lamathambo omprofethi owavela eSamariya.

19 Hagi Israeli kini vahe'mo'zama Sameriama me'nea ranra kumatmimpima, havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentazageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma rimpama ahezamante'nea kumatmina, Beteli rankumate'ma hiaza huno Josaia'a eri haviza hu'ne.

Njalo lazo zonke izindlu zezindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yeSamariya, amakhosi akoIsrayeli ayezenzile ukuthukuthelisa, uJosiya wazisusa, wenza kizo njengayo yonke imisebenzi ayeyenze eBhetheli.

20 Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumapima eri'zama eneri'za pristi vahera, Josaia'a ana maka zamaheno kresramna vu itazamire nenteno, fri vahe zaferina zamagofetu anteno teve hanavazino kre'ne. Anama huteno'a Josaia'a ete Jerusale kumate vu'ne.

Wasebulala bonke abapristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo, ababekhonapho, phezu kwamalathi, watshisa amathambo abantu phezu kwawo. Wasebuyela eJerusalema.

21 Hagi anante kini ne' Josaia'a amanage huno maka vahera zamasami'ne, Ama hugagerafi huvempage avontafepima hu'nea kante anteta Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmahe zamagtere'nea knagura antahimita ne'zana kreta neneta musena hunteho.

Inkosi yasilaya bonke abantu isithi: Gcinani iphasika eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, njengalokhu kubhaliwe kulolugwalo lwesivumelwano.

22 Hagi kema refko'ma hu kva vahe'mo'zama kegavama huzmante'nareti'ma eno Jerusalemine, Juda kini vahe'mo'zama kvama huzmante'nare'ma egeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma ozmaheno zamagtere'nea zankura antahimi'za magore hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za musena huonte'naze.

Ngoba kwakungagcinwanga elinjengaleli iphasika kusukela ensukwini zabehluleli abehlulela uIsrayeli, kumbe kuzo zonke izinsuku zamakhosi akoIsrayeli, kumbe zamakhosi akoJuda.

23 Hianagi Josaia'ma 18ni'a kafuma kinima maninege'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumate e'za, Israeli vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma ozamahe zamagtere'nea zankura antahimi'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za, Ra Anumzamofona musena hunte'naze.

Kodwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya lagcinwa leliphasika eNkosini eJerusalema.

24 Hagi fri vahe hankro'enema keaga nehaza vahe'ene, havi avamu'mofo eri'zama e'neriza vahe'ene, nozamifima havi anumzama tro hunte'neza mono hunentaza zantamine, havi anumzamofo amema'aramine, maka agotega zantamima Jerusalemi kumate'ene Juda kumapinema me'neana, Josaia'a ana zanke huno ana maka eritre vagare'ne. E'inama hu'neana pristi ne' Hilkia'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti'ma keno eri'nea avontafepima me'nea kasege avaririno anara hu'ne.

Ngaphezu kwalokho-ke abalamadlozi, labalumbayo, lamatherafi, lezithombe, lawo wonke amanyala abonakala elizweni lakoJuda leJerusalema, uJosiya wakususa, ukuze aqinise amazwi omlayo ayebhalwe ogwalweni uHilikhiya umpristi alufica endlini yeNkosi.

25 Hagi Josaia'ma frige'za ko'ma mani'za e'naza kini vahe'ene henkama fore'ma hu'naza kini vahe'mo'za Josaia'ma maka agu'areti'ene, agu'amententi'ene, hankave'areti'enema huno Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegefima me'nea nanekema amage'ma ante fatgoma hu'neazana huno, mago kinimo'a anara osu'naze.

Langaphambi kwakhe kakubanga khona inkosi eyafanana laye eyaphendukela eNkosini ngenhliziyo yayo yonke langomphefumulo wayo wonke langamandla ayo wonke, njengokomlayo wonke kaMozisi. Futhi emva kwakhe kakuvelanga eyafanana laye.

26 Hianagi ko'ma Manase'ma havi avu'avazama nehuno Ra Anumzamofoma azeri arimpama ahegeno'ma Juda vahe'ma tusi arimpama ahezamante'nea arimpa ahe'zamo'a vaga'ore'ne.

Kanti iNkosi kayiphendukanga ekuvutheni kolaka lwayo olukhulu, olaka lwayo eyavuthela ngalo uJuda, ngenxa yazo zonke intukutheliso uManase ayithukuthelisa ngazo.

27 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra ko'ma Israeli vahe'ma hu'noaza hu'na, Juda vahera mopa zamifintira zamazeri atresuge'za afete mopare vugahaze. Ana nehu'na Jerusalemi kuma'ma Nagri su'ane hu'nama huhampari'noa kumara namefi hunemi'na, Nagri nagi me'nesigetama monora hunantegahazema hu'noa mono nonena, nagra namefi humigahue.

INkosi yasisithi: Ngizamsusa loJuda phambi kwami, njengoba ngasusa uIsrayeli, ngiwulahle lumuzi weJerusalema engawukhethayo, lendlu engathi ngayo: Ibizo lami lizakuba lapho.

28 Hagi mago'a zama Josaia'ma kini mani'nea knafima efore'ma hu'nea zantamine, agrama tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agenkea, Juda kini vahe'mokizmi zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJosiya, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?

29 Hagi Josaia'ma kinima mani'nea knafina, Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a sondia vahe zaga'a zamavareno, Yufretisi tintega Asiria kini ne' ome aza hunaku vu'ne. Anama nehigeno'a, kini ne' Josaia'a avatga huno ha' hunteku sondia vahe'a zamavareno nevigeno, Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a Megido kumate eme tutagiha hunteno Josaiana ahe fri'ne.

Ensukwini zakhe uFaro Neko inkosi yeGibhithe wenyuka wamelana lenkosi yeAsiriya emfuleni iYufrathi. Inkosi uJosiya yasisiyahlangabezana laye; wayibulalela eMegido eseyibonile.

30 Ana hutazage'za Josaiana eri'za vahe'amo'za Megidotira avufga'a karisifi erinte'za vu'za Jerusalemi kumapi, agri'a matipi ome asente'naze. Hagi ana kumapi, Josaia nemofo Jehoahasina, avre'za masave frentete'za huhamprintazageno nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.

Inceku zakhe zasezimthwala efile ngenqola, zisuka eMegido, zamusa eJerusalema, zamngcwaba engcwabeni lakhe. Abantu belizwe basebethatha uJehowahazi indodana kaJosiya, bamgcoba, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise.

31 Hagi Jehoahasia 23'a kafu nehuno kini efore huno, Jerusalemi kumatera 3'a ikampi kinia mani'ne. Nerera'a Libna ran kumateti, Jeremaia mofakino agi'a Hamutali'e.

UJehowahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa inyanga ezintathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya weLibhina.

32 Hagi agehe'zama hu'nazaza huno Jehoahasi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi avu'avaza hu'ne.

Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke oyise abakwenzayo.

33 Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a, Jehoahasina azeriteno Hamati mopafina Ribla kumate kina hunte'ne. Ana higeno Jehoahasi'a Jerusalemi kumatera mago'ene kinia omani'ne. Ana higeno Isipi kini ne Fero Niko'a Juda vahekura huno, silvama kna'amo'ma 3,400 kiloma hu'nesiane, golima kna'amo'ma 34 kiloma hu'nesia namigahaze hu'ne.

UFaro Neko wasembopha eRibila elizweni leHamathi ukuthi angabusi eJerusalema, wahlawulisa ilizwe amathalenta esiliva alikhulu lethalenta legolide.

34 Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'a, Josaiana mago ne' mofavre'a, Eliakimina nefa no erino Juda vahe kinia maninogu azeri o'netino, agi'a Jehoiakimi'e huno ru agi antemi'ne. Hianagi Jehoahasina avreno Isipi mopare umani'negeno anantega fri'ne.

UFaro Neko wasebeka uEliyakhimi indodana kaJosiya ukuthi abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikaJosiya uyise, waphendula ibizo lakhe wathi nguJehoyakhimi. Wasethatha uJehowahazi; wasesiza eGibhithe, wafela khona.

35 Hagi Isipi kini ne' Fero Niko'ma huhampari'nea silvane, golinema Jehoiakimi'ma aminakura, vahepinti hige'za mani'naza avamente takisi zagoa eme amitere hazageno, erino Isipi kini netega atregeno vu'ne.

UJehoyakhimi wasemnika uFaro isiliva legolide, kodwa wathelisa ilizwe ukuze anike leyomali njengokomlayo kaFaro. Wakhuphisa abantu belizwe isiliva legolide, ngulowo lalowo ngokomthelo wakhe, yokunika uFaro Neko.

36 Hagi Jehoakimina kafu'amo'a 25fu nehigeno agafa huno kinia mani'ne. Ana huteno Jerusalemi mani'neno 11ni'a kafufi Juda vahera kegava hu'ne. Nerera'a Ruma ran kumateti, Pedaia mofakino agi'a Sebida'e.

UJehoyakhimi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguZebida indodakazi kaPhedaya weRuma.

37 Hagi agehezama hu'nazaza huno Jehoakimi'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera havi avu'avaza hu'ne.

Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengakho konke oyise abakwenzayo.
