Hagi Ahasi'a 20'a kafu hu'neno, Juda vahe kinia efore huno Jerusalemi kumatera 16ni'a kafufi kinia mani'ne. Hagi agra negeho Deviti'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'neaza huno Ra Anumzamofo avurera fatgo avu'avara osu'ne.

2 Wahamba ngezindlela zamakhosi ako-Israyeli njalo wabaza izithombe zokukhonza oBhali.

Hianagi agra ko'ma Israeli kini vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zamava nezmavaririno, Bali havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte'naza zana ainireti kremramra huno amema'a tro hunte'ne.

3 Watshisa imihlatshelo eSigodini saseBheni-Hinomu wanikela amadodana akhe emlilweni, elandela izindlela ezenyanyekayo zezizwe uThixo ayezixotshe mandulo kokufika kwabako-Israyeli.

4 Wanikela imihlatshelo njalo watshisa impepha ezindaweni zokukhonzela phezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwazo zonke izihlahla eziyizithingithingi.

Hagi Ahasi'a havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza agona kumatmimpine, zafa agafafine, havi anumzamofontera ofa nehuno, mnanentake zana kremna vu'ne.

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.

E'ina higeno Ra Anumza agri Anumzamo'a Siria kini ne'mofo azampi Ahasina avrentegeno hara hu agatereno, rama'a vahekrerfa kina huzmanteno zamavareno Damaskasi kumate ome nezmantegeno, ana zanke huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli kini ne'mofo azampi Ahasina avrentegeno hara hunteno, rama'a sondia vahe'a hazenkea zami'ne.

6 Kwathi ngelanga elilodwa uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya wabulala amabutho azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili koJuda ngoba abakoJuda babemfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.

Hagi Israeli kini ne' Remalia nemofo Peka'a magoke knafina, 120tauseni'a koro osu hankavenentake Juda sondia vahetmina zamahe fri'ne. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzana zamagehe'i Anumzamofona zamefi humi'nazagu anara hu'ne.

7 UZikhiri ibutho lako-Efrayimi, wabulala uMaseya indodana yenkosi, lo-Azirikhamu isikhulu somndlunkulu, kanye lo-Elikhana, owayengumsekeli wenkosi.

Hagi kini ne'mofona mofavre'a Maseiama, kini ne'mofo kuma'ma kegavama hu'nea sondia ne' Azrika'ma, kini ne'mofoma eme amefi'ma hu'neno'ma vahe'ma kegavama nehia ne' Elkananena, maka magoke kna zupage Efraemi kumateti harafa sondia ne' Zikri'a zamahe vagare'ne.

8 Abako-Israyeli bathumba ezihlotsheni zabo zakoJuda omkabo, lamadodana lamadodakazi abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili. Babutha njalo impango enengi kakhulu, abayithwala babuyela layo eSamariya.

Hagi Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Juda vahera zamafuhe'i a'nene, ne' mofavreramine, mofa'nezminena 200tauseni'a zamavare'za, ha'pinti'ma eri'za zantamina tusi zantamine eri'za Sameria rankumate vu'naze.

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.

Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Odeti'a ana Israeli sondia vahetmima hateti'ma Sameria kumate'ma neaza vahetmina amanage huno ome zamasami'ne, Keho, Ra Anumzana tamagehe'i Anumzamo'a Juda vahekura tusi arimpa ahenezmanteno, zamavare tamazampina antegeta zamaheta hara huzmagateraze. Hianagi tamasunkura osu kefo'za huta zamahazageno ana zamo'a Anumzamofo avure vigeno keno antahino hu'ne.

10 Khathesi selifuna ukuthi amadoda labesifazane bakoJuda laseJerusalema babe yizigqili zenu. Kodwa lina ngokwenu kalonanga yini kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu na?

Ana huteta menina Juda kumate'ma nemaniza vene'nene a'nanene Jerusalemi kumate vene'nene a'nanena kazokzo vahe zamazeri tro hunaku tamagesa nentahize. Hianagi tamagra'enena Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'naze.

11 Lalelani kimi! Buyiselani amadoda akini eliwenze izibotshwa, ngoba ulaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo luphezu kwenu.”

Hagi menia ke'ni'a antahita kinama huzmanteta zamavaretama aza tamafu tamagnana ete huzmantenke'za viho. Na'ankure menina Ra Anumzamo'a e'inahu tamavutamavama haza zankura tusi arimpa aheramante'ne.

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,

Anankema nehigeno'a, Efraemi kva vahetmima, Jehonani nemofo Asaria'ma, Mesilemoti nemofo Berekaia'ma, Salumu nemofo Jehizkaia'ma, Hadlai nemofo Amasa'ma hu'za kasnampa ne'mofo kerera mago zamarimpa hute'za oti'za,

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.”

ana sondia vahetminkura amanage hu'naze, tamagra kinama huzmanteta zmavreta aza vahetmina zamavareta amarera omegahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avurera kumitimo'a ko marerino ra hu'neanki, mago'ene erinte agofetu huta kumira nehazageno, Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahenerante.

14 Ngakho amabutho akhulula ababebotshiwe asebuyisela lempahla ezaziyimpango phambi kwezikhulu laphambi kwebandla.

Anage hazage'za ana sondia vahe'mo'za kinama huzmante'za zamavare'za aza vahetmina, ana kva vahetmimofo zamavugane, vahe'mokizmi zamavuga eme nezmatre'za, hapinti'ma eri'za aza zantaminena maka eme ante'naze.

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.

Hagi sondia vahe'mo'za ha'pinti'ma eri'za e'naza kukenaramine, zamaga nonena ana kva vahetmimo'za e'za emeri'za zamavufaga zamavapama zamavare'za e'naza kina vahetmina zamizage'za kukena nehazageno, nezane tinena zamizage'za nenazage'za zamavufagama tga hunerera masavena frezmante'naze. Ana hute'za kama vuga'ma osaza vahetmina, donki agumpi zamavarenente'za amne vahe'enena zamavare'za zamafuhe'zama mani'narega tofenke kumapi Jeriko kumate ome zamatrete'za, ete Sameria kumate e'naze.

16 Ngalesosikhathi inkosi u-Ahazi yacela uncedo enkosini yase-Asiriya.

Hagi ana knafina kini ne' Ahasi'a Asiria kini netega eme aza hinogu kea atre'ne.

17 Ama-Edomi ayesephendukile ezohlasela abakoJuda njalo asuka eqhuba izibotshwa,

Hagi Edomu vahe'mo'za ete mago'ane Juda vahera hara eme huzmante'za hara huzmagatere'za kina huzmante'za zamavare'za vu'naze.

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.

Hagi Filistia vahe'mo'za Juda agonaramimofo agafine, Negevi kazigama me'nea kumatmina arohu eme zamare'za, Bet-semesi kumapi vahetamine, Aijaloni kumapi vahetamine, Gederoti kumapi vahetamine, Soko kumapima nemaniza vahe'ene tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumatmimpi vahetamine, Timna kuma'ma, tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumatmimpi vahetamine, Gimzo kuma'ma, tavaonte'ma megagi'nea kumapi vahetamine maka ha eme huzmante'za zamahe'za hanare'za, ana kumatamimpi mani'naze.

19 UThixo wabatshaya abakoJuda ngoba u-Ahazi inkosi yako-Israyeli wayekhuthaze ukona kwabakoJuda watshengisela ukungathembeki okukhulu kuThixo.

Kini ne' Ahasi'ma hia avu'avaku huno Ra Anumzamo'a Juda vahera zamazeri anterami'ne. Na'ankure agra hige'za Juda vahe'mo'za kefo kumi avu'avara nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofona zamagu'aretira huza amagera onte'za zamefi humi'naze.

20 UThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya esikhundleni sokumsiza laye wafika wengezelela uhlupho.

E'ina hu'negu Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a eme aza hugaragi hara eme hunte'ne.

21 U-Ahazi wathatha ezinye zezimpahla zasethempelini likaThixo lezinye azithatha endlini yomndlunkulu esigodlweni waze wathatha lezamakhosana wayaziqhubela inkosi yase-Asiriya, kodwa lakho lokhu akumncedanga.

Ahasi'a agra nompinti'ene, eri'za vahe'aramimofo nompinti'ene, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira zago'amo'ma marerinea zantamina erino Asiria kini nera takisia eme ami'neanagi, ana zama hia zamo'a aza osu'ne.

22 Kwathi lanxa inkosi u-Ahazi iphakathi kobunzima, yandisa ukona kwayo kuThixo.

Hagi Ahasi'ma ana hazenke knafima mani'neno'a, Anumzamofona antahinomino mago'ane kefo avu'avara nehuno, Ra Anumzamofontera mani fatgo osu'ne.

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.

Hagi Ahasi'a huno, Damaskasi kini vahetmima zamazama hige'za ha'ma hunagatere'naza havi anumzantaminte ofa kresramana vanuge'za nagrira naza hugahaze, nehuno ana havi anumzante ofa kresramana vu'ne. Hianagi agra zante hazenkea avreno egeno, mika Israeli vahe'mo'zanena hazenkefi ufre'naze.

24 U-Ahazi wabutha zonke izitsha ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wazisusa. Wavala iminyango yethempeli likaThixo wasesakha ama-alithare kuwo wonke amajiko eJerusalema.

Hagi Ahasi'a Anumzamofo mono nompinti kavo zuomparamina erino emeri atru huteno, takoraku hunetreno Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafana ahe ankaninereno, Jerusalemi kumapina maka kaziga havi anumzante'ma Kresramanama vu ita tro hu'ne.

25 Wakha izindawo zokukhonzela kuwo wonke amadolobho akoJuda ukuze atshisele onkulunkulu imihlatshelo; wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.

Hagi Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimpina havi anumzantaminte'ma ofama hanaza kumatami'ma troma huntetere'ma hiazamo higeno, Ra Anumzana agehe'i Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahente'ne.

26 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso wakhe lezindlela zakhe zonke, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda lako-Israyeli.

Hagi Ahasi'ma kinima agafa huno mani'nereti'ma vuno ome vagare'nea knafima maka zama hu'nea zamofo agenkea, mika Juda kini vahe'ene, Israeli kini vahetmimofo zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

27 U-Ahazi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo emzini waseJerusalema, kodwa kabekwanga emathuneni amakhosi ako-Israyeli. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla waba yinkosi.

Hagi Ahasi'a frige'za Jerusalemi rankumapi asente'naze. Na'ankure avufga'a eri'za kini vahe'tmimofo matipina ome ase onte'naze. Hagi anama hutegeno'a, nemofo Hezekai'a agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.
