2 Imilando 23
1 Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada waqunga isibindi. Wenza isivumelwano labalawuli bamakhulu embuthweni: o-Azariya indodana kaJerohamu lo-Ishumayeli indodana kaJehohanani, lo-Azariya indodana ka-Obhedi, loMaseya indodana ka-Adaya kanye lo-Elishafathi indodana kaZikhiri.
Pea naʻe fakamālohi ia ʻe Sihoiata ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi teau [mo ]ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Silahami, mo ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Sihohanani, mo ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo ʻOpeti, mo Māseia ko e foha ʻo ʻAtaia, mo Ilisafate ko e foha ʻo Sikili, ʻonau fefuakavaʻaki.
2 Bangena kulolonke elakoJuda, baqoqa abaLevi kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli. Ekufikeni kwabo eJerusalema,
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu fano pe ʻi Siuta, ʻonau tānaki ʻae kau Livai mei he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, mo e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ʻa ʻIsileli, pea nau haʻu ki Selūsalema.
3 ibandla lonke lenza isivumelwano lenkosi ethempelini likaNkulunkulu. UJehoyada wathi kubo, “Indodana yenkosi izabusa, njengoba uThixo wathembisa abayinzalo kaDavida.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae fuakava ki he tuʻi ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻe pule ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita.
4 Ngakho nanku okumele likwenze: Ingxenye yesithathu yenu baphristi labaLevi abalinda ngeSabatha bafanele balinde eminyango,
Ko eni ʻae meʻa te mou fai: Ko hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻomoutolu ʻoku hū ki loto ʻi he ʻaho tapu ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, te mou leʻo matapā:
5 eyinye ingxenye yesithathu esigodlweni somndlunkulu kanye lenye njalo ingxenye yesithathu ezalinda eSangweni leSisekelo, kuthi wonke amanye amadoda abesemagumeni ethempeli likaThixo.
Pea ko hono vahe tolu [ʻe taha ]te mou ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea ko hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻunga: pea ʻe ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
6 Kakho ozangena ethempelini likaThixo ngaphandle kwabaphristi labaLevi abazabe besemsebenzini; labo bezangena ngoba behlanjululwe, kodwa wonke amanye amadoda azalinda lokho azabe ekutshengiswe nguThixo.
Kaeʻoua naʻa hū ha niʻihi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo kinautolu ʻi he kau Livai ʻoku tauhi: ʻe hū ki ai ʻakinautolu, he ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni: ka ke tauhi ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻae leʻo ʻo Sihova.
7 AbaLevi bazahonqolozela inkosi, ngulowo lalowo wabo ehlomile. Loba ngubani ozangena ethempelini kumele abulawe. Lingaxekelani lenkosi loba kungaphi lapho ezabe ikhona.”
Pea ke tuʻu ʻo ʻāʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻe he kau Livai ʻo takatakai, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata mo ʻene mahafu ʻi hono nima: pea ʻilonga ha tokotaha kehe ʻoku hū ki he fale, ʻe tāmateʻi ia: ka ke ʻi he tuʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻene hū ki loto, mo ʻene hū kituʻa.”
8 AbaLevi lawo wonke amadoda akoJuda benza khonokho kanye ababekutshelwe nguJehoyada umphristi. Kwaba ngulowo lalowo wathatha abantu bakhe, kulabanye ababesiyaqalisa amazopho abo ngeSabatha labanye ababetshayisa ngemva kwamazopha abo ngoba uJehoyada umphristi wayelokhu engakakhululi loba iviyo elilodwa.
Ko ia, naʻe fai ʻe he kau Livai mo Siuta kotoa pē ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu, ʻonau ʻave taki taha hono kau tangata ʻaia naʻe tonu ke hū ki loto ʻi he ʻaho tapu, mo kinautolu naʻe tonu ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu: he naʻe ʻikai tuku ke ʻalu ʻe Sihoiata ʻae kau leʻo.
9 Wasenika abalawuli bamaviyo amabutho alikhulu imikhonto lamahawu amakhulu lamancinyane ayekade engawenkosi uDavida ayesethempelini likaNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe tufaki foki ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki ki he kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi teau ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā, mo e ngaahi fakaū, ʻaia naʻe ʻoe tuʻi ko Tevita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
10 Wasemisa wonke amadoda, ngamunye ephethe izikhali zakhe ezandleni, ezingelezele inkosi eduze kwe-alithari lethempeli, kusukela eceleni langezansi kusiya enyakatho yethempeli.
Pea naʻa ne fakaʻotu ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafutau ʻi hono nima, mei he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe fale tapu ki he nima toʻohema ʻoe faletapu, ʻo ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga mo e faletapu, ʻo takatakai ʻo ofi ki he tuʻi.
11 UJehoyada lamadodana akhe basebeveza indodana yenkosi njalo bayethesa umqhele; bayiqhubela lencwadi yesivumelwano bayibeka yaba yinkosi. Bayigcoba bavungama bathi: “Mpilonde nkosi!”
Pea hili ia naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea nau ʻai ʻae tatā fakatuʻi kiate ia, pea ʻatu kiate ia ʻae fuakava, pea fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi. Pea naʻe pani ʻaki ia ʻae lolo ʻe Sihoiata mo hono ngaahi foha, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae tuʻi.”
12 U-Athaliya uthe esizwa umsindo wabantu begijima njalo behalalisa inkosi, wasuka waya kubo ethempelini likaThixo.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAtalia ki he ʻuʻulu ʻoe kakai ʻi he lele mo e fakamālō ki he tuʻi, naʻe haʻu ia ki he kakai ki he loto fale ʻo Sihova:
13 Lakanye wayibona inkosi imi ensikeni yayo ngasemangenelweni. Izikhulu labavutheli bamacilongo besekele inkosi, njalo bonke abantu belizwe bejabula bevuthela amacilongo, kanye labahlabeleli bephethe izinto zokuhlabelela bekhokhela emkhosini wokuhaya inkosi. U-Athaliya wadabula izigqoko zakhe njalo wamemeza ethi: “Umvukela! Umvukela!”
Pea sio ia, pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono pou ʻi he hūʻanga: pea naʻe ofi ki he tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki mo e ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻonau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau hiva foki mo e ngaahi meʻa faiva, mo kinautolu naʻe ako ke hiva ʻae fakamālō. Pea naʻe hae hono kofu ʻe ʻAtalia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e lapa, ko e lapa.”
14 UJehoyada umphristi wathumela abalawuli bamaviyo amabutho alikhulu, ababelawula amabutho, wathi: “Mkhupheleni phandle u-Athaliya phakathi kwamaviyo kuthi loba ngubani omlandelayo limbulale ngenkemba.” Ngoba umphristi wayethe, “Lingambulaleli ethempelini likaThixo.”
Pea naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi teau ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ki he ngaahi tau, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAve ia ki he mamaʻo mei he ngaahi fakangatangataʻanga: pea ko ia ʻe muimui ʻiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā.” He naʻe pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “ʻOua naʻa tāmateʻi ia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.”
15 Ngakho bambamba esefikile emangenelweni eSango laMabhiza emagumeni esigodlo, njalo kulapho abambulalela khona.
Ko ia naʻa nau puke ia ʻaki honau nima: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻoe fanga hoosi ʻo ofi ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa nau tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
16 UJehoyada wasesenza isivumelwano sokuthi yena kanye labantu lenkosi bazakuba ngabantu bakaThixo
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiata ʻae fuakava, ʻaia mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea mo e tuʻi, koeʻuhi ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻa Sihova.
17 Bonke abantu baya ethempelini likaBhali, balidilizela phansi, babhidliza lama-alithare akhe lezithombe zakhe, babulala uMathani umphristi kaBhali phambi kwama-alithare.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he fale ʻo Peali, pea holoki hifo ia ʻo maumauʻi, pea laiki hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo hono ngaahi fakatātā ke fakaikiiki, pea nau tāmateʻi ʻa Metani ko e taula ʻo Peali ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi feilaulauʻanga.
18 UJehoyada wabeka abalindi bethempeli likaThixo ezandleni zabaphristi, ababengabaLevi, bona uDavida ayevele ebenzele amazopho abo ethempelini, ukuze balethe iminikelo yokutshiswa kaThixo njengokulotshwa kwayo eMthethweni kaMosi, kulokujabula lokuhlabelela njengokulaya kukaDavida.
Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe Sihoiata ʻae ngaahi matāpule ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he pule ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe tufaki ʻe Tevita ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaki ʻae fiefia mo e hiva, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Tevita.
19 Wahlalisa njalo abalindiminyango emasangweni ethempeli likaThixo ukuze kungangeni loyedwa ongahlanjululwanga.
Pea ne fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hū ki ai ha tokotaha naʻe taʻemaʻa ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha.
20 Wasethatha abalawuli bamabutho alikhulu, lezikhulu lababusi babantu kanye labantu bonke belizwe basebeletha inkosi ethempelini likaThixo. Bangena esigodlweni ngeSango elingaPhezulu bahlalisa khona inkosi esihlalweni soBukhosi,
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi teau, mo e houʻeiki, mo e kau pule ʻoe kakai, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae tuʻi mei he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau hū ʻi he matapā māʻolunga ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae tuʻi ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe puleʻanga.
21 njalo bonke abantu elizweni bajabula. Kwaba lokuthula kulolonke idolobho ngoba u-Athaliya wayesebulewe ngenkemba.
Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua: pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae kolo, hili ʻenau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtalia ʻaki ʻae heletā.
