2 Imilando 15
1 Umoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi.
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua kia ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Oteti:
2 Waphuma ukuba ayehlangabezana lo-Asa wasesithi kuye, “Lalela kimi, Asa labo bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini. UThixo ulawe nxa wena ukuye. Nxa umfuna, uzamthola, kodwa nxa umlahla uzakulahla.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ia ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻAsa ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻAsa, mo Siuta kotoa pē, mo Penisimani, mou fanongo kiate au. ʻOku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova, lolotonga ʻoku mou ʻiate ia: pea kapau ʻoku mou kumi kiate ia, te ne tuku ke mou ʻilo ia: pea kapau ʻoku mou liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki ʻakimoutolu.
3 Okwesikhathi eside abako-Israyeli babengelaye uNkulunkulu weqiniso, bengelaye umphristi wokufundisa njalo bengelawo umthetho.
Pea ko eni, kuo nofo fuoloa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo masiva ʻOtua moʻoni, pea masiva taulaʻeiki ke akonaki, pea masiva fono.
4 Kodwa osizini lwabo baphendukela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bamdinga bamthola.
Ka ʻi heʻenau tafoki ʻi heʻenau mamahi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau kumi ia, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻekinautolu.
5 Ngalezonsuku, ngenxa yokuxokozela okukhulu kwezizwe, kwakungelula ukuhambahamba.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie kiate ia naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā, pe kiate ia naʻe haʻu ki loto, ka naʻe ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua ʻae ngaahi mamahi lahi.
6 Kwakulencithakalo isizwe sichithwa ngesinye, umuzi uchithwa ngomunye, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabehlisela zonke inhlobonhlobo zosizi.
Pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga ʻe taha ʻe he puleʻanga ʻe taha, mo e kolo ʻae kolo: he naʻe fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mamahi kotoa pē.
7 Kodwa wena, qina ungayekethisi, ngoba owakho umsebenzi uzakuba lomvuzo.”
Ko ia ke mou mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke vaivai homou nima: he ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻe totongi ia.”
8 U-Asa wathi ewezwa lamazwi lesiphrofethi sika-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi umphrofethi, waqina waba lesibindi. Wasusa zonke izithombe ezinengisayo kulolonke ilizwe lakoJuda lelakoBhenjamini lasemizini ayeyithumbile emaqaqeni ako-Efrayimi. Wavuselela i-alithari likaThixo elaliphambi komkoto wethempeli likaThixo.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAsa ki he ngaahi lea ni, mo e akonaki ʻa Oteti ko e palōfita, naʻa ne fiemālie ai, pea tukuange leva ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi mo e kovi lahi, mei he fonua kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, pea mei he ngaahi kolo naʻa ne toki maʻu, pea mei he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, pea ne fakafoʻou ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he mata ʻoe fale hala ʻo Sihova.
9 Wasebuthanisa bonke abakoJuda labakoBhenjamini kanye labantu ababevela ko-Efrayimi, lakoManase kanye lakoSimiyoni ababehlezi phakathi kwabo, ngoba babebanengi kakhulu abako-Israyeli ababethe ngokubona ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wayelaye bathutha beza ngakuye.
Pea ne fakataha ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani, fakataha mo e kau muli meia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, pea meia Simione: he naʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi kiate ia mei ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻenau mamata ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
10 Babuthana eJerusalema ngenyanga yesithathu ngomnyaka wetshumi lanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.
Ko ia naʻa nau fakakātoa ai ʻakinautolu ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono tolu ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa ʻAsa.
11 Ngalesosikhathi benza imihlatshelo kuThixo eyezinkomo ezingamakhulu ayisikhombisa lezimvu kanye lembuzi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa kulezo ababezithumbe babuya lazo.
Pea naʻa nau ʻatu kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻi he vete naʻa nau fetuku, ko e fanga pulu ʻe fitungeau mo e fanga sipi ʻe fitu afe.
12 Benza isivumelwano sokuba bamdinge uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, ngezinhliziyo zabo ezipheleleyo langomoya.
Pea naʻa nau alea fakataha ʻo fai ʻae fuakava ke nau kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻaki honau loto kotoa mo honau laumālie kotoa:
13 Bonke ababengayi kumdinga uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, babefanele babulawe, loba bebancinyane loba bebakhulu, loba kungowesilisa kumbe owesifazane.
ʻO pehē, ke ʻilonga ia ʻe ʻikai loto ke kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ke tāmateʻi ia, ko ha siʻi ia pe ko e lahi, ko e tangata ia pe ko e fefine.
14 Benza isifungo kuThixo ngokuvungama, bememeza njalo bevuthela lamacilongo lempondo.
Pea naʻa nau fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he leʻo lahi, pea ʻi he mavava, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ifi.
15 AbakoJuda bathokoza bonke ngesifungo ngoba babesenze ngenhliziyo yabo yonke. Bamdinga uThixo ngokulangatha, wabavumela ukuthi bamthole. Ngakho uThixo wabanika ukuthula inxa zonke.
Pea naʻe fiefia ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻi he fuakava: he naʻa nau fuakava ʻaki honau loto kotoa: pea naʻe hā mai ia kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu kotoa pē.
16 Inkosi u-Asa yasusa ugogo wayo uMahakha esikhundleni sokuba yindlovukazi ngoba wayenze insika yokukhonzela unkulunkulukazi u-Ashera oyisinengiso. U-Asa wayidiliza insika, wayiqumaquma wayitshisela eSigodini saseKhidironi.
Pea ko e meʻa kia Meaka ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi, naʻa ne liua ia ke ʻoua naʻa pule ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngaohi ʻae ʻotua loi ʻi he vao tapu: pea naʻe tā hifo ʻe ʻAsa hono ʻotua loi, pea naʻe laiki ia, pea tutu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kitiloni.
17 Lanxa engasusanga izindawo zokukhonzela ko-Israyeli, u-Asa wayezinikele kuThixo ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke empilweni yakhe yonke.
Ka naʻe ʻikai hiki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mei ʻIsileli: ka ko e moʻoni naʻe angatotonu ʻae loto ʻo ʻAsa ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
18 Wangenisa ethempelini likaNkulunkulu isiliva legolide lezinto lezo yena kanye loyise ababezahlukanisele uThixo.
Pea naʻe fetuku ʻe ia ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai, mo e meʻa naʻa ne fakatapui ʻe ia, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu.
19 Akusazange kube lempi kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lanhlanu wokubusa kuka-Asa.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻoe pule ʻo ʻAsa.
