2 Imilando 28
1 U-Ahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili ubudala nyakana esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Kenzanga njengoyise uDavida, kazange enze okulungileyo emehlweni kaThixo.
HE iwakalua makahiki ko Ahaza i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema, he umikumamaono makahiki; aole i hana pololei oia imua o Iehova e like me Davida kona kupuna.
2 Wahamba ngezindlela zamakhosi ako-Israyeli njalo wabaza izithombe zokukhonza oBhali.
Aka, hele ia ma na aoao o na'lii o ka Iseraela, a hana iho la ia i na kii i hooheheeia no Baala.
3 Watshisa imihlatshelo eSigodini saseBheni-Hinomu wanikela amadodana akhe emlilweni, elandela izindlela ezenyanyekayo zezizwe uThixo ayezixotshe mandulo kokufika kwabako-Israyeli.
Ua kuni no hoi ia i ka mea ala ma ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, a puhi i kana mau keiki i ke ahi, e like me ka aoao hoopailua o na lahuikanaka e, ka poe a Iehova i kipaku aku ai imua o ke alo o ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
4 Wanikela imihlatshelo njalo watshisa impepha ezindaweni zokukhonzela phezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.
Ua mohai aku hoi ia, a kuni i ka mea ala ma na wahi kiekie maluna o na puu, a malalo iho o na laau uliuli a pau.
5 Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe wamnikela enkosini yama-Aramu. Ama-Aramu amnqoba athumba abantu bakhe abanengi abaletha eDamaseko. Yena njalo wanikelwa ezandleni zenkosi yako-Israyeli, yona eyambulalela abantu abanengi kakhulu.
No ia mea, haawi o Iehova kona Akua ia ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Suria; a ua hahau lakou ia ia, a ua lawe pio i kekahi poe nui loa o lakou, a alakai ia lakou i Damaseko: a ua haawiia no hoi ia iloko o ka lima o ke alii o ka Iseraela, a hahau mai oia ia ia ma ka hahau nui.
6 Kwathi ngelanga elilodwa uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya wabulala amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili koJuda ngoba abakoJuda babemfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
No ka mea, pepehi o Peka ke keiki a Remalia ma Iuda i hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua tausani kanaka i ka la hookahi, he poe ikaika lakou a pau loa; no ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
7 UZikhiri ibutho lako-Efrayimi, wabulala uMaseya indodana yenkosi, lo-Azirikhamu isikhulu somndlunkulu, kanye lo-Elikhana, owayengumsekeli wenkosi.
Ua pepehi o Zikeri, ke kanaka ikaika o Eperaima ia Maseia ke keiki a ke alii, a me Azerikama, ka luna o ka hale, a me Elekama, ka mea malalo iho o ke alii.
8 Abako-Israyeli bathumba ezihlotsheni zabo zakoJuda omkabo, lamadodana lamadodakazi abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. Babutha njalo impango enengi kakhulu, abayithwala babuyela layo eSamariya.
A ua lawe pio aku ka poe mamo a Iseraela i elua haneri tausani o ko lakou poe hoahanau, he poe wahine, a he poe keiki kane, a he poe kaikamahine; a lawe no hoi lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa, a halihali lakou i ka waiwai pio i Samaria.
9 Kodwa umphrofethi wenkosi okwakuthiwa ngu-Odedi wayekhonale, ngakho waphuma ukuyahlangabeza ibutho ekuphendukeni kwalo eSamariya. Wathi kulo, “Ngenxa yokuthi uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo wayethukuthelele abakoJuda, wabanikela ezandleni zenu. Kodwa lina selibabhubhise ngolaka oluze lwayathinta ezulwini.
Aia malaila kekahi kaula o Iehova, Odeda kona inoa; hele ia iwaho e halawai pu me ka poe koa i ko lakou komo ana iloko o Samaria, a olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Aia hoi, i ka huhu ana o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna i ka Iuda, ua haawi mai oia ia lakou iloko o ko oukou mau lima, a ua luku oukou ia lakou me ka huhu i hiki loa aku i ka lani.
10 Khathesi selifuna ukuthi amadoda labesifazane bakoJuda laseJerusalema babe yizigqili zenu. Kodwa lina ngokwenu kalonanga yini kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu na?
A ke manao nei oukou e hoohaahaa i ko Iuda a me ko Ierusalema a lilo lakou i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine na oukou: aka, o oukou, aole anei iwaena o oukou no hoi kekahi, ka hana hewa ana'ku ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua?
11 Lalelani kimi! Buyiselani amadoda akini eliwenze izibotshwa, ngoba ulaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo luphezu kwenu.”
Ano, e hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e hoihoi aku i ka poe pio a oukou i lawe pio mai ai noloko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau; no ka mea, ua wela ka huhu o Iehova maluna o oukou.
12 Abanye babakhokheli bako-Efrayimi u-Azariya indodana kaJehohanani, loBherekhiya indodana kaMeshilemothi, loJehizikhiya indodana kaShalumi, kanye lo-Amasa indodana kaHadilayi bamelana lalabo ababevela empini bathi kubo,
Alaila, ku ae la iluna kekahi poe no na luna o ka Eperaima, o Azaria, ke keiki a Iehohana, o Berekia ke keiki a Meselemota, Iehizekia ke keiki a Saluma, a me Amasa ke keiki a Hadelai, a ku e lakou i ka poe i hoi mai mai ke kaua mai;
13 “Lingalethi lezozibotshwa lapha, ngoba kungenzeka sibe lecala phambi kukaThixo. Selidinga ukuthi lengezelele lelocala phezu kwesono sethu na? Ngoba icala lethu livele likhulu, njalo lentukuthelo yakhe eyesabekayo iphezu kwabako-Israyeli.”
Olelo aku la ia lakou, Mai lawe mai oukou i ka poe pio iloko nei; aia hoi, ua hewa kakou ia Iehova, a ke manao nei oukou e hoonui i ko kakou hewa, a me ko kakou lawehala; no ka mea, ua nui ko kakou hala, a ua wela ka huhu maluna o ka Iseraela.
14 Ngakho amabutho akhulula ababebotshiwe asebuyisela lempahla ezaziyimpango phambi kwezikhulu laphambi kwebandla.
Alaila, haalele ka poe koa i ka poe pio, a me ka waiwai pio imua o na alii, a imua o ka ahakanaka a pau.
15 Amadoda ayeqanjwe ngamabizo abuyisela izibotshwa ezimpahleni zempango bagqokisa ababenqunu. Babanika izigqoko lamanyathelo, ukudla lokunathwayo, kanye lomuthi wokwelapha. Bonke ababuthakathaka babagadisa obabhemi. Ngakho babathatha bababuyisela kwabanye babo eJerikho, iDolobho lamaLala, basebebuyela eSamariya.
A ku ae la iluna ua poe kanaka la i oleloia'i ko lakou inoa, a lawe lakou i ua poe pio la, a no ka waiwai pio hoaahu i ka poe o lakou i nele i ke kapa ole, a kahiko ia lakou, a hawele ia lakou i na kamaa, a haawi i ka ai na lakou, a hoohainu, a kahinu ia lakou i ka aila, a hooee i ka poe nawaliwali maluna o na hoki, a alakai ia lakou i Ieriko i ke kulanakauhale laau loulu, i ko lakou poe hoahanau: a hoi lakou i Samaria.
16 Ngalesosikhathi inkosi u-Ahazi yacela uncedo enkosini yase-Asiriya.
Ia manawa hoouna o Ahaza ke alii ma na'lii o Asuria i kokua mai lakou ia ia.
17 Ama-Edomi ayesephendukile ezohlasela abakoJuda njalo asuka eqhuba izibotshwa,
No ka mea, ua hele hou mai ka Edoma, a pepehi i ka Iuda, a lawe pio i kekahi poe.
18 kanti amaFilistiya lawo ngapha ayesehlasele amadolobho angaphansi kwamaqaqa kanye laseNegebi yakoJuda. Bathumba basebehlala khona eBhethi-Shemeshi, le-Ayijaloni leGederothi, kanye laseSokho, leThimina leGimizo lemizana eyayiseduze lalapho.
A o ko Pilisetia, ua hao lakou i na kulanakauhale ma na awawa, a ma ke kukulu hema o Iuda, a ua hoopio ia Betesemesa, a me Aialona, a me Gederota, a me Soko, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila, a me Timena, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila, a me Gimezo, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila; a noho iho la lakou ma ia mau wahi.
19 UThixo wabatshaya abakoJuda ngoba u-Ahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli wayekhuthaze ukona kwabakoJuda watshengisela ukungathembeki okukhulu kuThixo.
No ka mea, hoohaahaa loa o Iehova i ka Iuda no ka hewa o Ahaza, ke alii o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua hookuu aku oia i ka Iuda i lawehala loa ia Iehova.
20 UThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya esikhundleni sokumsiza laye wafika wengezelela uhlupho.
A hele mai la io na la o Tilegata-pilenesera, ke alii o Asuria, a hoopilikia ia ia, aole hoi i kokua ia ia.
21 U-Ahazi wathatha ezinye zezimpahla zasethempelini likaThixo lezinye azithatha endlini yomndlunkulu esigodlweni waze wathatha lezamakhosana wayaziqhubela inkosi yase-Asiriya, kodwa lakho lokhu akumncedanga.
No ka mea, ua mahele o Ahaza i na mea iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a o na alii iho, a haawi aku na ke alii o Asuria; aole nae ia i kokua mai ia ia.
22 Kwathi lanxa inkosi u-Ahazi iphakathi kobunzima, yandisa ukona kwayo kuThixo.
A i kona wa popilikia, hoonui ia i kona lawehala ana ia Iehova. Oia no ua alii la, o Ahaza.
23 Yanikela imihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu baseDamaseko, ababeyehlule, ngoba yakhumbula yathi, “Njengoba onkulunkulu bamakhosi ama-Aramu bewancedile, ngizanikela imihlatshelo kubo ukuze bangisize lami.” Kodwa-ke kwahle kwaba yikuwa kwayo lokuchitheka kwabako-Israyeli.
Ua mohai ia i na akua o Damaseko, na mea i pepehi mai ia ia; a olelo iho la ia, No ka mea, o na akua o na'lii o Suria, ua kokua ia mau mea ia lakou, no ia mea, e mohai aku au ia lakou, i kokua mai lakou ia'u. Aka, ua lilo lakou i mea e make ai ia, a me ka Iseraela a pau.
24 U-Ahazi wabutha zonke izitsha ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wazisusa. Wavala iminyango yethempeli likaThixo wasesakha ama-alithare kuwo wonke amajiko eJerusalema.
A houluulu o Ahaza i na kiaha o ka hale o ke Akua, a okioki oia ia mau kiahi o ka hale o ke Akua, a pani ia i na puka o ka hale o Iehova, a hana iho la nona i mau kuahu ma na huina a pau o Ierusalema.
25 Wakha izindawo zokukhonzela kuwo wonke amadolobho akoJuda ukuze atshisele onkulunkulu imihlatshelo; wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
A ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale o Iuda, hana iho la ia i na wahi kiekie e kuni i ka mea ala i na akua e, a hoonaukiuki iho la oia ia Iehova i ke Akua o kona poe kupuna.
26 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso wakhe lezindlela zakhe zonke, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda lako-Israyeli.
A o ke koena o kana mau hana, a o kona aoao a pau, ka mua a me ka hope, aia hoi, ua kakauia iloko o ka buke no na'lii o ka Iuda a me ka Iseraela.
27 U-Ahazi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo emzini waseJerusalema, kodwa kabekwanga emathuneni amakhosi ako-Israyeli. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.
A hiamoe iho la o Ahaza me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale ma Ierusalema; aka, aole lakou i waiho ia ia ma na wahi e kanu ai no na'lii o Iseraela; a noho alii iho la o Hezekia kana keiki mahope ona.
