2 Amakhosi 15
1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa kaJerobhowamu inkosi yako-Israyeli, u-Azariya indodana ka-Amaziya inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
I KA makahiki iwakaluakumamahiku o Ieroboama ke alii o ka Iseraela, i lilo ai o Azaria ke keiki a Amazia ke alii o ka Iuda, i alii.
2 Wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha yokuzalwa esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili. Ibizo likanina lalinguJekholiya; evela eJerusalema.
He umikumamaono kona mau makahiki i ka wa i lilo ai ia i alii, a he kanalimakumamalua na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Iekolia ka inoa o kona makuwahine no Ierusalema.
3 Wenza ukulunga phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Amaziya.
A hana pono aku la no ia imua o Iehova e like me na mea a pau a Amazia kona makuakane i hana'i.
4 Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela, azidilizwanga; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo kanye lokutshisela impepha kuzo.
Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku no na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau.
5 UThixo wehlisela inkosi u-Azariya ubulephero eyabugula yaze yafa, njalo yayihlala yodwa endlini yayo. UJothamu indodana yakhe wayegcina isigodlo senkosi, ephethe labantu belizwe.
A hahau mai o Iehova i ke alii, a lilo ia i lepera, a hiki i ka la o kona make ana, a noho ia ma ka hale no ka poe mai: a o Iotama ke keiki a ke alii, maluna o ka hale no oia e hooponopono ana i na kanaka o ka aina.
6 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso ka-Azariya, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
A o na hana i koe a Azaria, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
7 U-Azariya wafa walala kuboyise njalo wangcwatshwa phansi kwabo eMzini kaDavida. UJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
A hiamoe iho la o Azaria me kona poe kupuna; a kanu iho la lakou ia ia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Iotama, kana keiki, ma kona hakahaka.
8 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu leminyaka efica mibili ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uZakhariya indodana kaJerobhowamu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa okwezinyanga eziyisithupha.
I ka makahiki kanakolukumamawalu o Azaria ke alii o ka Iuda, i noho alii ai o Zakaria ke keiki a Ieroboama maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria i na malama eono.
9 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe ngoyise. Kazange atshiye izono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, yena owabangela ukuba u-Israyeli azenze.
Hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me ka mea a kona mau kupuna i hana'i: aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
10 UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi wenza amacebo okususa uZakhariya wamhlasela phambi kwabantu, wambulala wahle wathatha ubukhosi waba yinkosi.
A o Saluma, ke keiki a Iabesa, kipi ae la oia ia ia, a pepehi aku la ia ia imua o na kanaka, a make iho la ia, a lilo ia i alii ma kona hakahaka.
11 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaZakhariya zilotshwe egwalweni lwembali yombuso wamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
A o na hana i koe a Zakaria, aia hoi, ua kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela.
12 Ngakho kwagcwaliseka ilizwi likaThixo kuJehu elathi: “Abendlu yakho bazabusa u-Israyeli kuze kube yisizukulwane sesine.”
Oia ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ia Iehu, i mai la, E noho kau poe keiki maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela, a hiki i ke kualua. A pela io no.
13 UShalumi indodana kaJabheshi waba yinkosi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesificamunwemunye ka-Uziya inkosi yakoJuda, yena wabusa eSamariya okwenyanga eyodwa.
O Saluma, ke keiki a Iabesa, noho alii iho la ia i ka makahiki kanakolukumamaiwa o Uzia ke alii o ka Iuda; a o na la ana i noho alii ai ma Samaria, hookahi ia malama.
14 Ngakho uMenahemu indodana kaGadi wehla esuka eThiza esiya eSamariya. Wahlasela uShalumi indodana kaJabheshi eSamariya, wambulala wasethatha ubukhosi.
No ka mea, pii ae la o Menahema, ke keiki a Gadi mai Tireza aku, a hele mai i Samaria, a pepehi aku la ia Saluma ke keiki a Iabesa ma Samaria, a make, a noho alii iho la ia ma kona hakahaka.
15 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaShalumi, lamacebo okuhlamuka lawokukhokhela kwakhe, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
A o na hana i koe a Saluma, a me kona kipi ana i kipi ai, aia hoi, ua kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela.
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.
Ia manawa luku aku la o Menahema i Tipesa, a me na mea a pau iloko ona, a me kolaila mau mokuna mai Tireza mai: no ka mea, aole lakou i wehe ae, no ia mea, luku aku la ia; a kaha aku la ia i kolaila poe wahine hapai a pau.
17 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lasificamunwemunye ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uMenahemu indodana kaGadi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli, wabusa eSamariya okweminyaka elitshumi.
I ka makahiki kanakolukumamaiwa o Azaria ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Menahema ke keiki a Gadi i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, he umi makahiki ana i noho alii ai ma Samaria.
18 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Ekubuseni kwakhe konke kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele ukuba u-Israyeli azenze.
A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova: i kona mau la a pau, aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
19 Ngakho uPhuli inkosi yase-Asiriya wahlasela ilizwe, njalo uMenahemu wamnika amathalenta esiliva ayinkulungwane ukuze azuze ukusekelwa lokuqinisa umbuso wakhe.
Hele mai o Pula ke alii o Asuria i ka aina; a haawi aku la o Menahema ia Pula i hookahi tausani talena kala, i kokua mai ai kela ia ia e hookupaa i ke aupuni iloko o kona lima.
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.
A auhau aku la o Menahema i ke kala i ka Iseraela, i ka poe mea waiwai nui, i keia kanaka kela kanaka he kanaliina sekela e haawi aku i ke alii o Asuria: a hoi aku la ke alii o Asuria, aole ia i hookaulua malaila iloko o ka aina.
21 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaMenahemu, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
A o na hana i koe a Menahema, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
22 UMenahemu waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. UPhekhahiya indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi.
A hiamoe iho la o Menahema me kona poe kupuna: a noho alii iho la o Pekahia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
23 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amahlanu ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uPhekhahiya indodana kaMenahemu waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, yena wabusa okweminyaka emibili.
I ka makahiki kanalima o Azaria ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Pekahia ke keiki a Menahema i alii maluna o ka Iseraela, ma Samaria, elua makahiki ana i alii ai.
24 UPhekhahiya wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele u-Israyeli ukuba azenze.
Hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova; aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
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.
A o Peka ke keiki a Remalia, he luna koa nona, kipi mai la oia ia ia, a pepehi iho la ia ia ma Samaria iloko o kahi paa o ka halealii, a me Aregoba, a me Arie, a i na kanaka he kanalima me ia no Gileada; a make iho la ia, a lilo kela i alii ma kona hakahaka.
26 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaPhekhahiya, lakho konke akwenzayo, kulotshiwe egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli.
A o na hana i koe a Pekahia, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aia hoi, ua kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela.
27 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amahlanu lambili ka-Azariya inkosi yakoJuda, uPhekha indodana kaRemaliya waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya, njalo wabusa okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
I ka makahiki kanalimakumamalua o Azaria ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Peka ke keiki a Remalia i alii maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, he iwakalua na makahiki ana i alii ai.
28 Wenza okubi phambi kukaThixo. Kazange atshiyane lezono zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, ayebangele ukuthi u-Israyeli azenze.
A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova; aole ia i haalele i na hewa a Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
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.
I ka manawa ia Peka ke alii o ka Iseraela, hele mai o Tigelatepilesera ke alii o Asuria, a hoopio i ko Iiona, a me ko Abelebetemaaka, a me ko Ianoa, a me ko Kadesa, a me ko Hazora, a me ko Gileada, a me ko Galilaia, i ko ka aina a pau o Napetali, a lawe pio aku la ia lakou i Asuria.
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.
A kipi ae la o Hosea, ke keiki a Ela, ia Peka, ke keiki a Remalia, a pepehi aku la ia ia, a noho alii iho la ia ma kona wahi, i ka makahiki iwakalua o Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia.
31 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaPhekha, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli na?
A o na hana i koe a Peka, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aia hoi, ua kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela.
32 Ngomnyaka wesibili kaPhekha indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yako-Israyeli, uJothamu indodana ka-Uziya inkosi yakoJuda waqalisa ukubusa.
I ka lua o ka makahiki o Peka ke keiki a Remalia ke alii o ka Iseraela, i lilo ai o Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda i alii.
33 Waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu ubudala bakhe, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lesithupha. Ibizo likanina kwakunguJerusha indodakazi kaZadokhi.
He iwakaluakumamalima na makahiki ona i kona manawa i lilo ai i alii, a he umikumamaono na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Ierusa ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine ia na Zadoka.
34 Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Uziya.
A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Uzia kona makuakane i hana'i.
35 Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela kazisuswanga; abantu baqhubeka benikela imihlatshelo lokutshisa impepha khonale. UJothamu wavuselela iSango laNgaphezulu lethempeli likaThixo.
Aka hoi, aole i laweia'ku na heiau: kaumaha aku no na kanaka, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala ma na heiau. Hana aku no ia i ka puka kiekie o ka hale o Iehova.
36 Ezinye izehlakalo ngombuso kaJothamu, kanye lakwenzayo, akulotshwanga egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
A o na hana i koe a Iotama, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
37 (Ngalezonsuku uThixo waqala ukuthuma uRezini inkosi yase-Aramu kanye loPhekha indodana kaRemaliya ukumelana loJuda.)
Ia mau la hoomaka iho la o Iehova e hoouna aku ia Rezina ke alii o Suria, a me Peka ke keiki a Remalia e ku e i ka Iuda.
38 UJothamu waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa labo eMzini kaDavida, okwakulidolobho likayise. U-Ahazi indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
A hiamoe iho la o Iotama me kona poe kupuna, a kanuia oia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida kona kupuna; a noho alii iho la o Ahaza kana keiki ma kona wahi.
