2 Ebyomumirembe 17
1 Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’asikira Asa bw’atyo n’afuuka kabaka, n’okwenyweza ne yeenyweza eri Isirayiri.

2 N’ateeka abaserikale mu bibuga ebiriko bbugwe ebya Yuda, n’ateeka n’eggye mu Yuda, ne mu bibuga ebya Efulayimu, kitaawe Asa bye yali awambye.
Iye anayika magulu a asilikali mʼmizinda yonse yotetezedwa ya Yuda, ndipo anamanga maboma mu Yuda ndi mʼmizinda yonse ya Efereimu imene Asa abambo ake analanda.
3 Mukama n’abeera wamu ne Yekosafaati kubanga mu buto bwe yatambuliranga mu makubo ga jjajjaawe Dawudi ge yatambulirangamu. Teyeebuuza ku Babaali,
Yehova anali ndi Yehosafati chifukwa mʼzaka zoyambirira anatsatira makhalidwe a Davide abambo ake. Iye sanafunsire kwa Abaala.

Koma anafunafuna Mulungu wa abambo ake ndipo anatsatira malamulo ake osati zochita za Israeli.
5 Mukama n’anyweza obwakabaka mu mukono gwe, era Yuda yenna ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, n’aba n’obugagga bungi n’ekitiibwa kinene.
Yehova anakhazikitsa kolimba ufumuwo mʼmanja mwake ndipo Ayuda onse anabweretsa mphatso kwa Yehosafati, kotero kuti anali ndi chuma ndi ulemu wambiri.
6 Omutima gwe ne gunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama, n’okuggyawo n’aggyawo ebifo ebigulumivu n’ebifaananyi bya Baasera mu Yuda.
Mtima wake anawupereka kutsatira Yehova, kuwonjezera apo, anachotsa malo onse achipembedzo ndi mafano a Asera mu Yuda.
7 Mu mwaka ogwokusatu ogw’obufuzi bwe, n’atuma abakungu be bano: Benikayiri, ne Obadiya, ne Zekkaliya, ne Nesaneeri, ne Mikaaya okugenda nga bayigiriza mu bibuga bya Yuda.
Mʼchaka chachitatu cha ufumu wake, iye anatuma akuluakulu ake Beni-Haili, Obadiya, Zekariya, Netaneli ndi Mikaya kukaphunzitsa mʼmizinda ya Yuda.
8 Ne wabaawo n’Abaleevi abagenda nabo: Semaaya, ne Nesaniya, ne Zebadiya, ne Asakeri, ne Semiramoosi, ne Yekonasaani, ne Adoniya, ne Tobbiya, ne Tobadoniya, wamu ne Erisaama ne Yekolaamu.
Pamodzi ndi iwo panali Alevi ena: Semaya, Netaniya, Zebadiya, Asaheli, Semiramoti, Yonatani, Adoniya, Tobiya ndi Tobu-Adoniya ndiponso ansembe Elisama ndi Yehoramu.
9 Ne bayigiriza mu Yuda yonna, nga bakozesa Ekitabo ekya Mateeka ga Mukama; ne babuna mu bibuga byonna ebya Yuda ne bayigiriza abantu.
Iwo anaphunzitsa mu Yuda monse atatenga Buku la Malamulo a Yehova iwo anayenda mʼmizinda yonse ya ku Yuda ndipo anaphunzitsa anthu.
10 Awo entiisa ya Mukama n’egwa ku bwakabaka obw’amawanga agaali geetoolodde Yuda, ne batakola ntalo na Yekosafaati.
Kuopsa kwa Yehova kunali pa maufumu onse a mayiko oyandikana ndi Yuda, kotero kuti sanachite nkhondo ndi Yehosafati.
11 Abamu ku Bafirisuuti ne baleetera Yekosafaati ebirabo, ne ffeeza ng’omusolo, ate Abawalabu ne bamuleetera ebisibo eby’endiga ennume kasanvu mu lusanvu, n’embuzi kasanvu mu lusanvu.
Afilisti ena anabweretsa kwa Yehosafati mphatso ndi siliva ngati msonkho, ndipo Aarabu anabweretsa ziweto: nkhosa zazimuna 7,700 ndi mbuzi 7,700.
12 Yekosafaati ne yeeyongeranga amaanyi, n’azimba ebigo n’ebibuga eby’amaterekero mu Yuda,
Mphamvu za Yehosafati zinkakulirakulira. Iye anamanga malo otetezedwa ndi mizinda yosungiramo chuma mu Yuda
13 n’abeera n’ebyamaguzi bingi ddala mu bibuga bya Yuda. Yalina n’abaserikale abatendeke mu Yerusaalemi nga bazira.
ndipo anali ndi katundu wambiri mʼmizinda ya Yuda. Iye anayikanso asilikali odziwa bwino nkhondo mu Yerusalemu.
14 Okubalibwa ng’enju za bakitaabwe bwe zaali kwali bwe kuti: Okuva mu Yuda, abaduumizi ab’ebibinja eby’olukumi baali: Aduna omuduumizi ow’abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi asatu,
