2 Imilando 13
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJerobhowamu uAbhiya wasesiba yinkosi phezu kukaJuda.
I KA makahiki umi kumamawalu o ke alii o Ieroboama, noho alii iho la o Abiia maluna o ka Iuda.
2 Wabusa iminyaka emithathu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMikhaya indodakazi kaUriyeli weGibeya. Kwasekusiba khona impi phakathi kukaAbhiya loJerobhowamu.
Ekolu makahiki kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Mikaia ke kaikamahine a Uriela no Gibea. A he kaua no iwaena o Abiia a me Ieroboama.
3 UAbhiya wasehlela impi elebutho lamaqhawe empi, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane. UJerobhowamu wasehlela impi ukumelana laye elamadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisificaminwembili, amaqhawe alamandla.
A hoonohonoho iho la o Abiia i ke kaua me ka poe koa, ka poe ikaika i ke kaua, eha haneri tausani kanaka i waeia: a o Ieroboama hoi, hoonohonoho oia i ke kaua me na kanaka i waeia ewalu haneri tausani, he poe koa ikaika.
4 UAbhiya wasesima entabeni iZemarayimi esentabeni yakoEfrayimi wathi: Ngizwa Jerobhowamu, loIsrayeli wonke!
Alaila, ku iluna o Abiia maluna o ka puu o Zemaraima, aia no ia ma ka mauna o Eperaima, a olelo aku la, E hoolohe mai, e Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau;
5 Kakusikwenu yini ukwazi ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yanika uDavida umbuso phezu kukaIsrayeli phakade, kuye lakumadodana akhe ngesivumelwano setshwayi?
Aole anei oukou i ike, ua haawi mai la o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela i ke aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela, ia Davida, i mea mau loa ia ia, a me kana poe mamo, me ka berita paakai?
6 Kodwa uJerobhowamu indodana kaNebati, inceku kaSolomoni indodana kaDavida, wasukuma wavukela inkosi yakhe.
Aka, ua ku iluna o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, ke kauwa a Solomona ke keiki a Davida, a kipi iho la i kona haku.
7 Kwasekubuthana kuye abantu abayize, abantwana bakaBheliyali, baziqinisa ukumelana loRehobhowamu indodana kaSolomoni, uRehobhowamu esesengumfana njalo ebuthakathaka ngenhliziyo engemelane labo.
A ua hoakoakoaia io na la na kanaka lapuwale, ka poe hewa, a ua hooikaika ku e mai ia Rehoboama, i ke keiki a Solomona. A he keiki o Rehoboama ia wa, a palupalu kona naau, aole i hiki ia ia ke ku e ia lakou.
8 Khathesi-ke lina lithi lizamelana lombuso weNkosi esandleni samadodana kaDavida; futhi lilixuku elikhulu, kodwa lilamathole egolide uJerobhowamu alenzela wona abe ngonkulunkulu.
Ano, ke manao nei oukou e hooikaika ku e mai i ke aupuni o Iehova aia ma ka lima o na keiki a Davida; o oukou ka poe koa nui loa, a me oukou pu na bipi keiki gula a Ieroboama i hana'i, i mau akua no oukou.
9 Kalibaxotshanga yini abapristi beNkosi, amadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi, lazenzela abapristi njengezizwe zelizwe? Loba ngubani ozegcwalisa isandla sakhe ngejongosi, ithole lenkomo, lezinqama eziyisikhombisa uba ngumpristi wabangeyisibo onkulunkulu.
Aole anei oukou i kipaku i na kahuna a Iehova i ka poe mamo a Aarona, a me na Levi, a hoonoho iho la no oukou iho i na kahuna e like me na lahuikanaka o na aina e? a o kela mea keia mea e hiki mai me ka bipi keiki, a me na hipakane ehiku ma kona lima i mea haawi aku, ua lilo ia i kahuna no na akua lapuwale.
10 Kodwa thina, iNkosi inguNkulunkulu wethu, kasiyidelanga; labapristi abayikhonzayo iNkosi bangamadodana kaAroni, lamaLevi asemsebenzini.
Aka, o makou nei, o Iehova, oia ko makou Akua, aole makou i haalele ia ia; a o na kahuna, ka poe kauwa na Iehova, o ka poe mamo lakou a Aarona, a o na Levi, e hana ana lakou i ka lakou oihana iho.
11 Njalo bayahlabela iNkosi ikuseni ngekuseni lentambama ngentambama iminikelo yokutshiswa lempepha elephunga elimnandi; lokulungisa izinkwa etafuleni elihlambulukileyo, lokulumathisa uluthi lwesibane lwegolide lezibane zalo kusihlwa ngakusihlwa. Ngoba thina sigcina umlindo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, kodwa lina liyidelile.
Kukuni lakou i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, i kela ahiahi i keia ahiahi, i na mohaikuni na Iehova, a me na mea poni ala; a hoonoho lakou maluna o ka papaaina maemae i ka berena hoike, a me ka ipukukui gula e aa ana kona mau manamana i kela ahiahi keia ahiahi; no ka mea, e maluna ana makou i ka oihana na Iehova, ko makou Akua, aka, o oukou la, ua haalele ia ia.
12 Ngakho khangelani, uNkulunkulu ulathi eyinhloko, labapristi bakhe belempondo zokukhalisa ukuhlaba umkhosi bemelene lani. Bantwana bakoIsrayeli, lingalwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, ngoba kaliyikuphumelela.
Eia hoi me makou ke Akua i luna no makou, a o kona mau kahuna no hoi me na mea kani e hoopuiwa ia oukou. E na mamo a Iseraela, mai kaua aku oukou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna; no ka mea, aole pono iki oukou pela.
13 Kodwa uJerobhowamu wayebhodise abacathameli ukuthi beze bengasemva kwabo. Ngakho babephambi kukaJuda, labacathameli bengemva kwabo.
A hoonoho o Ieroboama i poe moemoe e hoohalua mahope o lakou, nolaila, imua o ka Iuda kekahi poe, a ma ko lakou kua no hoi ka poe hoohalua.
14 Lapho uJuda ephenduka, khangela-ke, impi yayimelene labo ngaphambili langemuva; basebekhala eNkosini, labapristi bakhalisa izimpondo,
A ike ka Iuda, aia no ke kaua mamua o lakou a mahope kekahi, kahea aku lakou ia Iehova, a hookani ka poe kahuna i na pu.
15 labantu bakoJuda bamemeza; kwasekusithi ekumemezeni kwabantu bakoJuda uNkulunkulu watshaya oJerobhowamu loIsrayeli wonke phambi kukaAbhiya loJuda.
Alaila, hooho ae la ka poe kanaka o Iuda; a i ka hooho ana o ka Iuda poe kanaka, i luku mai la o Iehova ia Ieroboama a me ka Iseraela a pau imua o Abiia, a me ka Iuda.
16 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebaleka phambi kobuso bukaJuda, uNkulunkulu wasebanikela esandleni sabo.
A auhee aku la ka poe mamo a Iseraela imua o ka Iuda, a haawi mai ke Akua i ua poe la iloko o ko lakou lima.
17 UAbhiya labantu bakhe basebebatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu; kwasekusiwa ababuleweyo koIsrayeli, amadoda akhethiweyo azinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
A luku aku la o Abiia a me kona poe kanaka ia lakou me ka luku nui; a o ka poe o ka Iseraela i pepehiia a haule iho la, elima haneri tausani kanaka i waeia.
18 Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bathotshiswa ngalesosikhathi, labantwana bakoJuda baba lamandla ngoba beyama eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Pela i pio ai ka poe mamo a Iseraela ia manawa, a lanakila iho la ka Iuda, no ka mea, ua hilinai aku lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
19 UAbhiya wasexotshana loJerobhowamu, wathumba imizi kuye, iBhetheli lemizana yayo, leJeshana lemizana yayo, leEfroni lemizana yayo.
Alualu aku la o Abiia mahope o Ieroboama, a lawe pio oia i na kulanakauhale mai ona aku la, ia Betela, a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila ia Iesana a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila; ia Eperaima no hoi a me na kauhale e pili ana ilaila.
20 UJerobhowamu akabe esaba lamandla ensukwini zikaAbhiya. INkosi yasimtshaya, wafa.
Aole i loaa hou ia Ieroboama kona ikaika i na la o Abiia; a hahau mai la o Iehova ia ia, a make iho la.
21 Kodwa uAbhiya waziqinisa, wazithathela abafazi abalitshumi lane, wazala amadodana angamatshumi amabili lambili, lamadodakazi alitshumi lesithupha.
Lanakila iho la o Abiia, a lawe ae la nana i na wahine he umi a me kumamaha, a hanau mai la na keikikane he iwakalua a me kumamalua, a me na kaikamahine he umi a me kumamaono.
22 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAbhiya, lezindlela zakhe, lamazwi akhe, kubhaliwe ezindabeni zomprofethi uIdo.
A o ke koena o na hana a Abiia a me kona mau aoao, a me kana olelo, ua kakauia ma na kaao a Ido, ke kaula.
