2 Imilando 16
1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesithupha wokubusa kukaAsa uBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyuka emelana loJuda, wakha iRama ukuze angavumeli ophumayo longenayo kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda.
I KA makahiki kanakolukumamaono o ke aupuni o Asa, pii mai la o Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e i ka Iuda, a kukulu iho la oia ia Rama, me ka manao, aole e puka iwaho kekahi, aole e komo iloko kekahi io Asa la ke alii o ka Iuda.
2 UAsa wasekhupha isiliva legolide esiphaleni senotho sendlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi, wathumela kuBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya owayehlala eDamaseko, esithi:
Alaila lawe ae la o Asa i ke kala a me ke gula mai loko mai o ka waihona waiwai o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la oia io Bene-hadada la, i ke alii o Suria, i kona noho ana ma Damaseko, i aku la,
3 Kulesivumelwano phakathi kwami lawe laphakathi kukababa loyihlo; khangela, ngiyakuthumela isiliva legolide; hamba, yephula isivumelwano sakho loBahasha inkosi yakoIsrayeli ukuze enyuke asuke kimi.
He berita no mawaena o'u a me oe, a mawaena o ko'u makua, a me kou makua; eia hoi, ke hoouka aku nei au ia oe i ke kala a me ke gula, e hooki oe i kau berita me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, i hele ia mai o'u aku nei.
4 UBenihadadi waseyilalela inkosi uAsa, wathuma induna zamabutho ayelawo ukuyamelana lemizi yakoIsrayeli, zasezitshaya iIjoni leDani leAbeli-Mayimi, lemizi yonke eyiziphala yakoNafithali.
A hoolohe o Bene-hadada i ka Asa, ka ke alii, a hoouna mai la oia i na luna o na koa ona e ku e i na kulanakauhalo o ka Iseraela; a Iuku iho la lakou ia Iiona, a me Dana, a me Abelamaima, a me na kulanakauhale waiho ukana a pau o Napetali.
5 Kwasekusithi uBahasha esizwa wayekela ukwakha iRama, wawumisa umsebenzi wakhe.
A lohe iho la o Baasa, haalele ia i kona kukulu ana ia Rama, a hooki iho la ia i kana hana.
6 UAsa inkosi wasethatha uJuda wonke, bathutha amatshe eRama lezigodo zayo uBahasha ayesakha ngakho; wasesakha ngakho iGeba leMizipa.
Alakai ae la o Asa i ka Inda a pau, halihali mai la lakou i na pohaku o Rama, a me na laau olaila, i ka mea a Baasa i kukulu ai; a kukulu iho la oia me ia mau mea ia Geba a me Mizepa.
7 Ngalesosikhathi uHanani umboni wasefika kuAsa inkosi yakoJuda, wathi kuye: Ngoba weyeme enkosini yeSiriya, ungeyamanga eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, ngalokho ibutho lenkosi yeSiriya liphunyukile esandleni sakho.
Ia manawa, hele mai la o Hanani ke kaula io Asa la, i ke alii o ka Iuda, olelo mai la ia ia, No kou hilinai ana i ke alii o Suria, aole hoi i hilinai ia Iehova i kou Akua, no ia mea, e pakele ka poe koa o ke alii o Suria mai kou lima aku.
8 AmaEthiyophiya lamaLibiya ayengeyisilo ibutho elikhulu, elezinqola labagadi bamabhiza abanengi kakhulu yini? Kanti lapho weyeme eNkosini, yawanikela esandleni sakho.
O ko Aitiopa a me ka Luba, aole anei he nui loa lakou me na hale kaa, a me na holohololio he lehulehu? Aka, i kou hilinai ana ia Iehova, haawi mai oia ia lakou iloko o kou lima.
9 Ngoba iNkosi, amehlo ayo agijima aye le lale emhlabeni wonke ukuthi izitshengise ilamandla ngalabo abanhliziyo yabo iphelele kuyo. Wenze ngobuthutha kulokhu, ngoba kusukela khathesi kuzakuba lezimpi kuwe.
No ka mea, e holoholo ana na maka o Iehova ma ka honua a pau e hoike ana i kona mau a i ka poe i pono ia ia ko lakou naau: ua hana naaupo oe i keia mea; a ma keia hope aku e kauaia ana oe.
10 UAsa wasemcunukela umboni, wamfaka entolongweni, ngoba wamthukuthelela ngalokhu. UAsa wasecindezela abanye ebantwini ngalesosikhathi.
Alaila, huhu o Asa i ke kaula, a hoolei oia ia ia iloko o ka hale paahao; no ka mea, ua wela kona huhu ia ia no keia mea: a ia manawa hoi hookaumaha o Asa i kekahi poe kanaka.
11 Khangela-ke, izindaba zikaAsa, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoJuda lakoIsrayeli.
Aia hoi, o na mea a Asa i hana'i, ka mua, a me ka hope, ua kakauia ia mau mea iloko o ka palapala o na'lii o ka luda a me ka Iseraela.
12 UAsa waba lomkhuhlane enyaweni zakhe, ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesificamunwemunye wokubusa kwakhe, umkhuhlane wakhe waze wakhula kakhulu; kanti lekuguleni kwakhe kayidinganga iNkosi, kodwa izinyanga.
A i ka makahiki kanakolukumamaiwa o kona aupuni, loaa iho la ia Asa ka mai ma kona mau wawae, a pii iluna kona mai; a i kona wa mai, aole ia i imi ia Iehova, aka, i ka poe kahuna lapaau.
13 UAsa waselala laboyise wafa ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane lanye wokubusa kwakhe.
A hiamoe iho la o Asa me kona poe kupuna, a make ia i ka makahiki kanahakumamakahi o kona noho alii ana.
14 Basebemngcwaba emangcwabeni akhe ayezigebhele wona emzini kaDavida; bambeka embhedeni ayewugcwalise amaphunga amnandi lezinhlobonhlobo zamakha, ayenziwe ngokuhlakanipha kwezingcitshi zamakha; basebembasela umlilo omkhulu, omkhulukazi.
A kanu lakou ia ia iloko o kona lua kahi ana i eli ai nona iho, ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida, a waiho lakou ia ia iloko o kona wahi moe, kahi i piha ai i na mea ala, a me na mea miko i hoomakaukauia ma ke akamai o na kahuna lapaau, a pupuhi aku lakou i ke ahi nona a nui loa.
