2 Imilando 19
1 UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wasebuyela endlini yakhe ngokuthula eJerusalema.
HOI mai la o Iehosapata ke alii o Iuda i kona hale iho ma Ierusalema me ka maluhia.
2 UJehu indodana kaHanani umboni wasephuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi enkosini uJehoshafathi: Unganceda yini omubi, uthande labo abazonda iNkosi? Ngenxa yalokhu-ke kulolaka phezu kwakho oluvela ebusweni beNkosi.
Hele ae la iwaho e halawai pu me ia o Iehu, ke keiki a Hanani ke kaula, olelo aku la i ke alii ia Iehosapata, E pono anei oe ke kokua i ka poe hewa, a e aloha i ka poe i inaina aku ia Iehova? No keia mea, aia maluna ou ka huhu, mai o Iehova mai.
3 Loba kunjalo izinto ezinhle zitholwe kuwe, ngoba ususile izixuku elizweni, walungisa inhliziyo yakho ukumdinga uNkulunkulu.
Ua loaa no nae kekahi mau mea maikai iloko ou, no ka mea, ua kipaku oe i na kii o Asetarota mai ka aina aku, a ua hoomakaukau oe i kou naau e imi i ke Akua.
4 UJehoshafathi wasehlala eJerusalema; wabuya waphuma wahamba phakathi kwabantu, kusukela eBherishebha kusiya entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wababuyisela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
Noho iho la o Iehosapata ma Ierusalema, a kaahele ae la ia iwaena o na kanaka, mai Beereseba a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hoohuli oia ia lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
5 Wasemisa abahluleli elizweni kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakoJuda, kumuzi ngomuzi.
Hoonoho oia i mau lunakanawai ma ka aina, ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda i paa i ka pa a pau, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale.
6 Wasesithi kubahluleli: Bonani elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleleli umuntu kodwa iNkosi, elani endabeni yokwahlulela.
Olelo aku la oia i na lunakanawai, E noonoo oukou i na mea a oukou e hana'i; no ka mea, aole no na kanaka oukou e hooponopono ai, no Iehova no, a oia pu kekahi me oukou i ka hooponopono ana.
7 Ngakho-ke uvalo ngeNkosi kalube phezu kwenu, linanzelele likwenze, ngoba eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu kakulabubi lokukhangela ubuso lokwemukela izivalamlomo.
Nolaila e kauia mai ka makau ia Iehova maluna o oukou, e malama, e hana hoi; no ka mea, aohe hewa me Iehova ko kakou Akua, aole ia e manao mai i ko ke kanaka kino, aole hoi ia e lawe i ke kipe.
8 Futhi leJerusalema uJehoshafathi wasemisa abanye kumaLevi labapristi lakunhloko zaboyise zakoIsrayeli kusahlulelo seNkosi lakumibango, sebebuyele eJerusalema.
A ma Ierusalema hoi, ua hoonoho o Iehosapata i kekahi poe o na Levi, a me na kahuna, a me kekahi poe luna o na makua o ka Iseraela, e hookolokolo no Iehova i na mea hoopaapaa, i ko lakou hoi ana mai i Ierusalema.
9 Wasebalaya esithi: Lizakwenza njalo ekuyesabeni iNkosi, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo.
Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, Penei oukou e hana'i me ka makau ia Iehova, a me ka oiaio a me ka naau pololei.
10 Lawuphi umbango oza kini ovela kubafowenu abahlala emizini yabo, phakathi kwegazi legazi, phakathi komthetho lomlayo, izimiso lezahlulelo, lizabaxwayisa ukuze bangabi lecala eNkosini, lolaka lwehlele phezu kwenu laphezu kwabafowenu. Lizakwenza njalo, futhi lingabi lacala.
A o ka hoopaapaa a pau a ko oukou poe hoahanau e noho ana ma ko oukou kulanakauhale e lawe mai ai io oukou la, mawaena o kekahi koko, a me kekahi koko, a mawaena o ke kanawai, a me ko kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ka olelo hooponopono, e ao aku oukou ia lakou i hewa ole lakou ia Iehova, o hiki mai ka huhu maluna o oukou, a maluna o ko oukou poe hoahanau: pela oukou e hana'i, a lawehala ole oukou.
11 Khangelani-ke, uAmariya umpristi oyinhloko uphezu kwenu kulo lonke udaba lukaJehova, loZebhadiya indodana kaIshmayeli, umbusi wendlu yakoJuda, kulo lonke udaba lwenkosi; labaphathi amaLevi baphambi kwenu. Qinani likwenze; iNkosi-ke izakuba lolungileyo.
Aia hoi o Amaria ke kahuna, o ko oukou luna ia ma na oihana na Iehova; a o Zebadia, ke keiki a Isemaela, oia ka luna o ka hale o Iuda ma na mea a pau a ke alii; a o na Levi, o lakou kekahi poe luna no oukou. E hoihoi oukou, e hana, a o Iehova pu kekahi me ka mea pono.
