1 UJosiya wenza uMkhosi wePhasika kuThixo eJerusalema, iwundlu lePhasika lahlatshwa ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yakuqala.

Hagi Josaia'a ke hige'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Isipima ozamahe zamagatere'nea knaguma antahimiza ne'zama nenaza knare Jerusalemi kumate etru hu'naze. Hagi ese ikamofo 14ni zupa ozamahe'ma zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimiza sipisipiramina ahegi'naze.

2 Wabeka abaphristi ngemisebenzi yabo njalo wabakhuthaza emsebenzini wethempeli likaThixo.

Ana nehuno ana zupage Josaia'a Pristi vahetmina huzmantege'za, eri'zazmia enerizageno zamazeri hanaveti nanekea zamasmige'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompina eri'zana eri'naze.

3 KubaLevi, ababefundisa abako-Israyeli bonke njalo ababevele behlukaniselwe uThixo wathi: “Bekani ibhokisi lesivumelwano elingcwele ethempelini elakhiwa nguSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli. Akumelanga libe lithwalwa ngamahlombe enu. Khathesi khonzani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu labantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.

Hagi Livae nagama zamazeri ante ruotage'ma hige'za mani'ne'za Israeli vahetmima kasegema rempima hunezmiza Livae nagara, ke hutru huno amanage huno zamasmi'ne, menina Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia Deviti nemofo Israeli vahe kini ne' Solomonima kinte'nea mono nompi anteho.

4 Hlanganani ngezindlu zenu langezigaba zenu, kusiya ngeziqondiso ezalotshwa nguDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli kanye loSolomoni indodana yakhe.

Israeli vahe kini ne' Devitine, nemofo Solomoni avontafepinema, krente'nea kante anteta nagate nofite trora hiho.

5 Manini endaweni engcwele leqembu labaLevi kuzozonke izigaba ngezindlu zezihlobo zenu, kube ngabemuli.

Hagi mago mago nagamota, nagate nofite huta ruotgema hu'nea kumapina Livae naga'ene otita maniho.

6 Hlabani amawundlu ePhasika, lizihlambulule lilungisele izihlobo zenu lenze njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo ngoMosi.”

Hagi Ozamahe'ma zamagatere'nea kanagu'ma antahimiza nehaza sipisipi anentatami, aheta tamagra'a tamazeri agru nehuta, retrotra nehinkeno ruga'a tamafuhe'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asami'nea kante ante'za anara hiho.

7 UJosiya wanika abantu makhaza bonke ababekhona izimvu lembuzi eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu zomnikelo wePhasika, kanye lenkomo eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu, zonke zingezayo inkosi.

Hagi ozamahe'ma zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimi ofama hanaza zana, sipisipine meme anentatamina Josaia'a agra'a keginafintira 30tausenia nezmino, 3tauseni'a ve bulimakao afutamina maka eme atruma hu'naza vahe'mokizmia zami'ne.

8 Izikhulu zakhe lazo zapha ngokuzinikela ebantwini zapha labaphristi labaLevi. UHilikhiya, loZakhariya loJehiyeli, abaphrofethi bethempeli likaNkulunkulu, bapha abaphristi iminikelo yePhasika engamakhulu angamatshumi amabili lesithupha lenkomo ezingamakhulu amathathu.

Ana hige'za kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'amo'za zamagranena mago'a sipsipine bulimakao afutaminena zamavesite avre'za Israeli vahetamine, pristi vahetamine, Livae naga'enena eme zami'naze. Hagi Anumzamofo mono nonte kva vahera Hilkaia'ma, Zekaraia'ma, Jehieli'ma hu'za zamagranena ozamahe'ma zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimiza ofama hanaza zana, 2tausen 600'a sipisipine meme afutaminki, 300'a bulimakaogi hu'za pristi vahe'mokizmia zami'naze.

9 Abanye abapha kanye loKhenaniya loShemaya, loNethaneli, abafowabo, kanye loHashabhiya, loJeyiyeli, loJozabhadi, abakhokheli babaLevi, bapha okomnikelo wePhasika izinkulungwane ezinhlanu kanye lenkomo ezingamakhulu amahlanu ezabaLevi.

Hagi Livae kva vahera Konanaia'ma, neganakea Semaia'ene Netanelikegi, Hasabaia'ma, Jeieli'ma, Jozabadi'ma hu'za zamagranena, ozamahema zamagatere'nea knaguma antahimi ofama huzana, sipisipine meme afutamina 5tauseni'agi, 500'a bulimakao afutminki hu'za Livae nagara zami'naze.

10 Inkonzo yalungiswa kwathi abaphristi bema ezindaweni zabo labaLevi ezigabeni zabo ngeziqondiso zenkosi.

Hagi ana zantmima retro'ma hute'za, pristi vahe'mo'za zamagra'a eri'za kankamunte oti'zageno, Livae naga'mo'za kini ne'mo'ma kevure kevure'ma refkoma huzmante'nea kante ante'za oti'naze.

11 Amawundlu ePhasika ahlatshwa, abaphristi bemukela igazi bachela ngalo, abaLevi ngalesosikhathi babehlinza.

Hagi ozmahe'ma zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimiza ofama hu sipisipiramina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za pristi vahetami zamizage'za, pristi vahe'mo'za eri'za Kresramana vu itarera rutritri nehazageno, Livae naga'mo'za ana sipisipi afutamimofo akrura kararuvazi'naze.

12 Babeka eceleni iminikelo yokutshiswa ukuze banike izigaba ngezigaba zezimuli zabantu ukuze banikele kuThixo, njengokulotshiweyo eGwalweni lukaMosi. Benza okufaneleyo lasenkomeni.

Hagi Mosese avontafepima hu'nea kante'ma ante'za mago mago naga'mo'zama Ra Anumzamofonte tevefima kre fananehu ofama hanaza sipisipi afutamine, bulimakao afutaminena anampinti Livae naga'mo'za eritru hunte'naze.

13 Bosa izinyamazana zePhasika emlilweni njengokulaywa kwabo, babilisa iminikelo engcwele ezimbizeni, ezindengezini lasemapaneni baphanga bakuphakela abantu.

Hagi tra kemoma hu'nea kante ante'za Ozmahe'ma zmagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimi sipisipia ahe'za tevefi negre'za, zamazeri ruotgema hu ofanena kavoramimpine ranra kavofinena ti taginte'za kre'za ame hu'za ati'za zamizage'za maka vahe'mo'za ne'naze.

14 Ngemva kwalokho, bazilungisela okwabo ndawonye lokwabaphristi, ngoba abaphristi, abayinzalo ka-Aroni, babephathekile ngeminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leyamahwahwa kwaze kwaba kusihlwa. Ngakho abaLevi bazilungisela okwabo lokwabaphristi abangabendlu ka-Aroni.

Hagi anama hute'za Livae naga'mo'za zamagra'a sipisipi afutamine, pristi vahe'mokizmi sipisipi afutamina retrotra hu'naze. Na'ankure pristi vahera, Aroni amohe'za kre fananemahu ofane, afova'anena Kresramana nevazageno vuno hani ome hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu hu'za Livae naga'mo'za zamagra'a sipisipi afutamine, pristi vahe'mokizmi sipisipi afutaminena retrotra hu'naze.

15 Abahlabeleli, abenzalo ka-Asafi, babesezindaweni ezaqanjwa nguDavida, lo-Asafi, loHemani kanye loJeduthuni umboni wenkosi. Abalindi bamasango esangweni linye ngalinye akuzange kudingeke ukuthi basuke ezindaweni zabo, ngoba abaLevi abayizihlobo zabo babebalungisele okwabo.

Hagi zavenama ahe'za zagame'ma hu vahetmina Asapumpinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vaheki'za, Devitima Asapuma Hemanima kini ne'mofo kasnampa ne' Jedutuni'ma hu'za huzmante'naza kante ante'za eri'za kankamuzmire otitere hu'naze. Hagi kuma kafante kva vahe'mo'za, kuma kafana atre'za ovu'za kafante kva hute'za mani'naze. Na'ankure mago'a Livae naga'mo'za makazazmia retrotra huzmante'naze.

16 Ngakho ngalesosikhathi umsebenzi kaThixo wenzelwa ukugcinwa kwePhasika lokunikelwa kweminikelo yokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo, njengoba inkosi uJosiya yayitshilo.

E'ina hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamo'ma ozmahe'ma zamagatere'nea zankura antahinemiza ne'zana kre'za nene'za musena nehu'za, kini ne' Josaia'ma hu'nea kante ante'za Ra Anumzamofo Kresramanavu itarera, kre fanane hu ofa hu'naze.

17 Abako-Israyeli ababekhona bathakazelela iPhasika ngalesosikhathi njalo bathakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.

Hagi Israeli vahe'tamima atru'ma hu'naza vahe'mo'za ozmahe'ma zamagatere'nea zankura antahinemi'za zisti onte bretia 7ni'a knafi nene'za musena hu'naze.

18 IPhasika lalingazange ligcinwe ngalindlela ko-Israyeli kusukela ngezinsuku zomphrofethi uSamuyeli; njalo kayikho leyodwa inkosi yako-Israyeli eyayike yathakazelela iPhasika elinjengaleli elenziwa nguJosiya, labaphristi, labaLevi labo bonke abakoJuda labako-Israyeli ababelapho labantu baseJerusalema.

Hagi kasnampa ne' Samueli knareti'ma e'neana mago kini ne'mo'a e'inahukna zana Israeli vahepina eri fore osu'nea kna hu'za, ozamahe'ma zamagatere'nea knaguma antahimi'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za musenkasea osu'nazankna hu'za pristi vahetmima, Josaia'ma Livae vahetmima, maka Judane Israeli vahetmima, Jerusalemima nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena ne'zana kre'za nene'za tusi musenkase hu'naze.

19 LeliPhasika lathakazelelwa ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili wokubusa kukaJosiya.

Hagi Josaia'a 18ni'a kafuma kinima nemanige'za, ozmaheno zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimi knarera ne'zana kre'za nene'za ama ana musenkasea hu'naze.

20 Ngemva kwakho konke lokhu uJosiya eseqondisile konke ngeThempeli, uNekho inkosi yaseGibhithe wayahlasela iKharikhemishi eYufrathe, uJosiya waphuma ukuyadibana laye empini.

Hagi Josaia'ma mono nompi zama eri fatgoma hutegeno'a, Isipi kini ne' Niko'a hara erino Yufretisi Tinte Kakemisi kumate egeno, Josaia'a ha' ome huzmantenaku vu'ne.

21 Kodwa uNekho wamthumela amanxusa esithi, “Kulokuxabana bani phakathi kwami lawe, we nkosi yakoJuda? Phela angihlaseli wena khathesi, ngihlaselana laleyondlu engilwa layo impi. UNkulunkulu ungitshele ukuba ngiphangise; wena mana ungaphikisani loNkulunkulu, yena olami, funa akubhubhise.”

Hianagi Niko'a amanage huno Josaiantega kea atregeno vu'ne, Juda kini ne'moka, na'ante kagra hara hunante'za nehane? Nagra kagrira hara hugantenakura nomoanki, nagrama ha'ma hunezmantoa vahe'ene hara hunaku neoe. Anumzamo'a ame hunka vuo huno hunantegena neoanki, ru nagranema mani'nea Anumzamo kahe frisigi hara reonanto.

22 Kodwa uJosiya kazange amyekele, wazifihla ukuze abe sempini. Kazange alalele akutshelwa nguNekho kuvela kuNkulunkulu kodwa laye wayakulwa emagcekeni aseMegido.

Hianagi Anumzamo'ma Niko'ma asmigeno'ma hiankea Josaia'a antahi amne nehuno, ru kukena huno agra'a azeri frakino ru vahekna nehuno, Megido agupofi ha' ome hunaku vu'ne.

23 Abatshoki bayiciba inkosi uJosiya, yatshela izikhulu zayo yathi, “Ngisusani lapha, sengilimele kakubi.”

Hagi ha' eme nehige'za, keve ahazageno Josaia'a eri'za vahe'araminkura huno, hago hazenke eruanki navreta viho.

24 Ngakho bamethula enqoleni yakhe yokulwa, bamfaka kweyinye ayelayo bamusa eJerusalema, lapho afela khona. Wangcwatshwa emathuneni abokhokho bakhe, bonke abakoJuda labako-Israyeli bamlilela.

Anage hige'za eri'za vahe'amo'za Josai'ana karisi'afintira avre'za ru karisi'afi ante'za avre'za Jerusalemi vazageno ufri'ne. Anama frige'za, maka Juda vahetamine, Jerusalemi kumate vahe'mo'zanena afahe'mofo matipi eri'za ome asenente'za, tusi zamasunku hu'za zavira ate'naze.

25 UJeremiya laye waloba isililo ngoJosiya, njalo kuze kube lamuhla abahlabeleli bonke abesilisa labesifazane lokhu behaya isililo ngoJosiya. Lokhu kulila kwaba ngumkhuba ko-Israyeli njalo kubhaliwe eZililweni.

Ana'ma higeno'a, kasnampa ne' Jeremaia'a, Josaia agire vare zagame asunte'nege'za, zagamema hu vahe'mo'za ana zagamera hu'za meninena zavira netaze. Hagi ana zagamera zavi zagamema krenentaza avontafepina krentazageno me'nege'za zagamera hu'za zavira netaze.

26 Ezinye izehlakalo ngokubusa kukaJosiya lezinye izenzo zokuzinikela kwakhe, mayelana lokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo

Hagi Josaia'ma agafama huno kinima mani'neretima vuno vagaretema vu'nea knafima hu'nea zantamimofo agenkene, Ra Anumzamofo kasegema avariri'nea avu'avamofo agenkenena,

27 zonke izehlakalo, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekuphetheni, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwamakhosi ako-Israyeli lakoJuda.

Israeli kini vahetamine Juda kini vahetmimofo zamagenke'ma krente'naza avontafepi krente'naze.
