2 Amakhosi 15
1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa kaJerobhowamu inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Azariya indodana ka-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja wa ũthamaki wa Jeroboamu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Azaria mũrũ wa Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
2 Wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha yokuzalwa esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili. Ibizo likanina lalinguJekholiya; evela eJerusalema.
Nake aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Jekolia, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
3 Wenza ukulunga phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Amaziya.
Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
4 Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela, azidilizwanga; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo kanye lokutshisela impepha kuzo.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona o na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
5 UThixo wehlisela inkosi u-Azariya ubulephero eyabugula yaze yafa, njalo yayihlala yodwa endlini yayo. UJothamu indodana yakhe wayegcina isigodlo senkosi, ephethe labantu belizwe.
Jehova nĩahũũrire mũthamaki na mangũ o nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire, na aatũũrire nyũmba arĩ wiki. Jothamu mũrũ wa mũthamaki akĩrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agaathaga andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
6 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Azariya, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Azaria, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
7 U-Azariya wafa walala kuboyise njalo wangcwatshwa phansi kwabo eMzini kaDavida. UJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
Azaria akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hakuhĩ nao itũũra-inĩ inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jothamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
8 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu leminyaka efica mibili ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uZakhariya indodana kaJerobhowamu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa okwezinyanga eziyisithupha.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Zekaria mũrũ wa Jeroboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩeri ĩtandatũ.
9 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe ngoyise. Kazange atshiye izono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, yena owabangela ukuba u-Israyeli azenze.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maithe make meekĩte. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli mehie.
10 UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi wenza amacebo okususa uZakhariya wamhlasela phambi kwabantu, wambulala wahle wathatha ubukhosi waba yinkosi.
Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi nĩaciirĩire gũũkĩrĩra Zekaria. Akĩmũtharĩkĩra mbere ya andũ, akĩmũũraga, nake agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
11 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaZakhariya zilotshwe egwalweni lwembali yombuso wamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Zekaria, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
12 Ngakho kwagcwaliseka ilizwi likaThixo kuJehu elathi: “Abendlu yakho bazabusa u-Israyeli kuze kube yisizukulwane sesine.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩirio Jehu nĩkĩahingire, kĩrĩa kĩoigĩte atĩrĩ: “Njiaro ciaku nĩigaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wa Isiraeli nginya rũciaro rwa kana.”
13 UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi waba yinkosi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesificamunwemunye ka-Uziya inkosi yakoJuda, yena wabusa eSamariya okwenyanga eyodwa.
Na rĩrĩ, Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi aatuĩkire mũthamaki mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa ũthamaki wa Uzia mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamaka mweri ũmwe kũu Samaria.
14 Ngakho uMenahemu indodana kaGadi wehla esuka eThiza esiya eSamariya. Wahlasela uShalumi indodana kaJabheshi eSamariya, wambulala wasethatha ubukhosi.
Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi akiuma Tiriza, agĩthiĩ Samaria. Agĩtharĩkĩra Shalumu mũrũ wa Jabeshi kũu Samaria, akĩmũũraga, na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
15 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaShalumi, lamacebo okuhlamuka lawokukhokhela kwakhe, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Shalumu, na ndundu ya gũũkanĩrĩra ĩrĩa aatongoretie, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
16 Ngalesosikhathi uMenahemu, wathi esuka eThiza wahlasela uThifisa laye wonke umuntu owatholakala esedolobheni lababeseduzane lalo, ngoba bala ukuvula amasango abo. Wasuka uThifisa waqhaqha wonke amanina ayezithwele.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Menahemu, arutĩtie Tiriza agĩtharĩkĩra Tifisa, na akĩũraga mũndũ wothe warĩ itũũra, rĩu inene thĩinĩ o na arĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ narĩo, tondũ nĩmaregire kũhingũra ihingo ciao. Akĩhũũra Tifisa, na agĩtarũra nda cia andũ-a-nja arĩa maarĩ na nda.
17 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lasificamunwemunye ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uMenahemu indodana kaGadi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, wabusa eSamariya okweminyaka elitshumi.
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Menahemu mũrũ wa Gadi agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na agĩthamaka Samaria mĩaka ikũmi.
18 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Ekubuseni kwakhe konke kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele ukuba u-Israyeli azenze.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Hĩndĩ ya wathani wake wothe, ndaigana gũtigana na mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
19 Ngakho uPhuli inkosi yase-Asiriya wahlasela ilizwe, njalo uMenahemu wamnika amathalenta esiliva ayinkulungwane ukuze azuze ukusekelwa lokuqinisa umbuso wakhe.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Puli mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũcio, nake Menahemu akĩmũhe taranda ngiri ĩmwe cia betha nĩguo amũteithĩrĩrie kũrũmia ũthamaki wake wega.
20 UMenahemu wathelisa bonke abako-Israyeli. Wonke umuntu onothileyo kwakumele athele ngamashekeli esiliva angamatshumi amahlanu ukuze aphiwe inkosi yase-Asiriya. Ngakho inkosi yase-Asiriya yasuka elizweni, ayizange ibe isahlala khona.
Menahemu agĩĩtia mbeeca icio na hinya kuuma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli. Mũndũ o wothe gĩtonga aarĩ arute cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha, nĩguo iheo mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Ashuri akĩehera, na ndaikarire bũrũri ũcio rĩngĩ.
21 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaMenahemu, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Menahemu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
22 UMenahemu waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. UPhekhahiya indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi.
Menahemu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Pekaia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
23 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amahlanu ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uPhekhahiya indodana kaMenahemu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, yena wabusa okweminyaka emibili.
Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtano wa ũthamaki wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Pekaia mũrũ wa Menahemu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
24 UPhekhahiya wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.
Pekaia agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Ndaigana gũtiga mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
25 Omunye wezikhulu zakhe, uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya wabumba amacebo okumsusa. Wathatha amadoda angamatshumi amahlanu aseGiliyadi, wayabulala uPhekhahiya, kanye lo-Aghobi lo-Ariye enqabeni yesigodlo eSamariya. Ngakho uPhekha wabulala uPhekhahiya njalo wahle wathatha ubukhosi.
Ũmwe wa anene ake, Peka mũrũ wa Remalia, agĩciirĩra ndundu ya kũmũũkĩrĩra. Arĩ na andũ mĩrongo ĩtano kuuma Gileadi, agĩthiĩ, akĩũraga Pekaia hamwe na Arigobu na Ariehi, kũu Samaria, kĩirigo-inĩ gĩa kwĩgitĩra kĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Peka akĩũraga Pekaia na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
26 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaPhekhahiya, lakho konke akwenzayo, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Pekaia, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
27 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amahlanu lambili ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ wa Azaria mũthamaki wa Juda, Peka mũrũ wa Remalia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
28 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele ukuthi u-Israyeli azenze.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. Ndaigana gũtigana na mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie.
29 Ngezinsuku zikaPhekha inkosi yako-Israyeli, uThigilathi-Philesa inkosi yase-Asiriya weza wathumba i-Ijoni, le-Abheli-Bhethi-Mahakha, leJanowa, leKhedeshi kanye leHazori. Wathumba iGiliyadi kanye leGalile, kubalwa lelizwe lonke likaNafithali njalo waxotshela abantu e-Asiriya.
Hĩndĩ ya Peka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩguo Tigilathu-Pileseru, mũthamaki wa Ashuri, ookire agĩtunyana Ijoni, na Abeli-Bethi-Maaka, na Janoa, na Kadeshi na Hazoru. Nĩatunyanire Gileadi, na Galili, hamwe na bũrũri wothe wa Nafitali na agĩthaamĩria andũ aakuo Ashuri.
30 Ngakho uHosheya indodana ka-Ela wenza amacebo okususa uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya. Wamhlasela wambulala, wasethatha umbuso waba yinkosi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili kaJothamu indodana ka-Uziya.
Ningĩ Hoshea mũrũ wa Ela agĩciirĩra ndundu ya gũũkĩrĩra Peka mũrũ wa Remalia. Nake akĩmũtharĩkĩra na akĩmũũraga, agĩcooka agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa ũthamaki wa Jothamu mũrũ wa Uzia.
31 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaPhekha, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Peka, na ũrĩa wothe eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
32 Ngomnyaka wesibili kaPhekha indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yako-Israyeli, uJothamu indodana ka-Uziya inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa keerĩ wa ũthamaki wa Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, Jothamu mũrũ wa Uzia mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
33 Waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubudala bakhe, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Ibizo likanina kwakunguJerusha indodakazi kaZadokhi.
Aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ. Nyina eetagwo Jerusha mwarĩ wa Zadoku.
34 Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Uziya.
Nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa ithe Uzia eekĩte.
35 Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela kazisuswanga; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo lokutshisa impepha khonale. UJothamu wavuselela iSango laNgaphezulu lethempeli likaThixo.
No rĩrĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo; andũ maathiire o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo. Jothamu agĩaka rĩngĩ kĩhingo kĩa rũgongo kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova.
36 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaJothamu, kanye lakwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jothamu, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
37 (Ngalezonsuku uThixo waqala ukuthuma uRezini inkosi yase-Aramu kanye loPhekha indodana kaRemaliya ukumelana loJuda.)
(Matukũ-inĩ macio Jehova akĩambĩrĩria gũtũma Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata, na Peka mũriũ wa Remalia, mokĩrĩre Juda.)
38 UJothamu waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo eMzini kaDavida, okwakulidolobho likayise. U-Ahazi indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
Nake Jothamu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra inene rĩa Daudi, na norĩo itũũra rĩa ithe. Nake mũriũ Ahazu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
