2 Imilando 24
1 UJowashi wayeleminyaka eyisikhombisa esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguZibiya weBherishebha.
E HIKU makahiki o Ioasa i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la oia i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Zibia no Beereseba.
2 UJowashi wasesenza okuqondileyo emehlweni eNkosi insuku zonke zikaJehoyada umpristi.
A hana pololei o Ioasa imua o Iehova i na la a pau o Iehoiada ke kahuna.
3 UJehoyada wasemthathela abafazi ababili; wasezala amadodana lamadodakazi.
A haawi aku o Iehoiada i mau wahine elua nana, a hanau mai la nana he mau keikikane a he mau kaikamahine.
4 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokho kwaba senhliziyweni kaJowashi ukuvuselela indlu yeNkosi.
Mahope iho, komo iho la iloko o ka naau o Ioasa e hoomaikai hou i ka hale o Iehova.
5 Wasebuthanisa abapristi lamaLevi, wathi kibo: Phumani liye emizini yakoJuda, liqoqe kuIsrayeli wonke imali yokulungisa indlu kaNkulunkulu wenu umnyaka ngomnyaka; lina-ke, luphangiseleni udaba. Kodwa amaLevi kawaphangisanga.
Hoakoakoa ae la oia i ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, a olelo aku la ia lakou, E hele oukou i na kulanakauhale o Iuda, a e houluulu i kahi kala a ka Iseraela a pau i mea e hoomaikai hou ai i ka hale o ko oukou Akua, i kela makahiki keia makahiki; e wikiwiki oukou i keia hana. Aka, aole i hana wawe na Levi.
6 Inkosi yasibiza uJehoyada inhloko, yathi kuye: Kungani ungabizanga kumaLevi ukuthi alethe esusa koJuda laseJerusalema umthelo kaMozisi inceku yeNkosi, lowebandla lakoIsrayeli okwethente lobufakazi?
Kahea aku la ke alii ia Iehoiada ka luna, a olelo aku la ia ia, No ke aha la i hoeueu ole aku ai oe i na Levi e lawe mai, mailoko mai o Iuda a me Ierusalema i ka auhau a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i kau aku ai maluna o ka ahakanaka o ka Iseraela, no ka halelewa o ke kanawai?
7 Ngoba amadodana kaAthaliya okhohlakeleyo afohlela endlini kaNkulunkulu, futhi-ke ayesebenzisele oBhali zonke izinto ezingcwele zendlu yeNkosi.
No ka mea, o Atalia, ua wahine ino la, a o kana mau keiki kekahi, wawahi iho la lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, a hoolilo lakou i na mea laa a pau o ka bale o Iehova na Baala.
8 Inkosi yasilaya, asesenza ibhokisi elilodwa, alibeka esangweni lendlu kaJehova phandle.
Olelo ke alii, a hana lakou i pahu, a waiho iho la ia mea mawaho ma ka puka o ka hale o Iehova.
9 Asesenza isimemezelo koJuda laseJerusalema ukuthi balethe eNkosini umthelo kaMozisi inceku kaNkulunkulu owabekwa phezu kukaIsrayeli enkangala.
A kukala aku la lakou ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, E lawe mai na Iehova i ka auhau a Mose, ke kauwa a ke Akua i kau aku ai maluna o ka Iseraela ma ka waonahele.
10 Zonke iziphathamandla labo bonke abantu basebethokoza, baletha baphosela ebhokisini baze baqeda.
A hauoli iho la na kaukaualii a pau a me na kanaka a pau, a lawe mai lakou, a hahao iloko o ka pahu, a hoopau ae la.
11 Kwakusithi-ke ngesikhathi eletha ibhokisi kumhloli wenkosi ngesandla samaLevi, lalapho ebona ukuthi kulemali enengi, umabhalane wenkosi lenduna yompristi oyinhloko beze balithulule ibhokisi, balithathe balibuyisele endaweni yalo. Benza njalo-ke insuku ngensuku, baqoqa imali ngobunengi.
A i ka wa i laweia mai ai ka pahu imua o na luna o ke alii e na Levi, a ike lakou ua nui ke kala, alaila hele mai ka lunakakau o ke alii, a me ka luna o ke kahuna nui, a hoohuli lakou i ka pahu, a lawe ae ia mea, a hoihoi aku i kona wahi; pela lakou i hana'i i kela la i keia la, a hoiliili lakou i ke kala he nui loa.
12 Inkosi loJehoyada basebeyinika abenzi bomsebenzi wenkonzo wendlu kaJehova, baqhatsha abakha ngamatshe lababazi ukuvuselela indlu kaJehova, njalo labakhandi bensimbi lethusi ukuqinisa indlu kaJehova.
A o ke alii a me Iehoiada, haawi laua i keia mea i ka poe ia lakou ka hana ma ka hale o Iehova, a hoolimalima lakou i poe kalai pohaku, a i ka poe kamana, e hoomaikai hou i ka hale o Iehova, a i poe kui hao a me ke keleawe, e hoopaa hou i ka hale o Iehova.
13 Ngakho abenzi bomsebenzi basebenza, kwaze kwathi ukuvuselelwa komsebenzi kwaqhubeka ngesandla sabo, bayimisa indlu kaNkulunkulu ngesilinganiso sayo, bayiqinisa.
A hana iho la ka poe paahana, a paa ia hana ia lakou, a kukulu lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, e like me kona ano mamua, hana hoi lakou a paa.
14 Kwathi sebeqedile baletha imali eseleyo phambi kwenkosi loJehoyada, abenza ngayo izitsha zendlu kaJehova, izitsha zenkonzo lezokunikela, lezinkezo, lezitsha zegolide lezesiliva. Basebenikela njalonjalo iminikelo yokutshiswa endlini kaJehova zonke izinsuku zikaJehoyada.
A paa ia hana, lawe mai lakou imua o ke alii a me Iehoiada i ke koena o ke kala, a hana lakou i na kiaha no ka hale o Iehova, i na kiaha e lawelawe ai, a e mohai aku ai, a me na puna a me na kiaha gula a me ke kala. A mohai mau aku lakou i na mohai iloko o ka hale o Iehova i na la a pau o Iehoiada.
15 UJehoyada waseguga wenela ngezinsuku, wafa; wayeleminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu ekufeni kwakhe.
A elemakule iho la o Iehoiada, a nui loa kona mau la, a make iho la ia. Hookahi haneri kona mau makahiki a me kanakolu, i kona make ana.
16 Basebemngcwabela emzini kaDavida lamakhosi, ngoba wayenze okulungileyo koIsrayeli lakuNkulunkulu lendlu yakhe.
A kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida me na alii, no ka mea, ua hana pono ia iloko o ka Iseraela, i ke Akua kekahi, a i kona hale iho no hoi.
17 Emva kokufa kukaJehoyada iziphathamandla zakoJuda zasezisiza zakhothama phambi kwenkosi; khona inkosi yazilalela.
A mahope o ka make ana o Iehoiada, hele mai na kaukaualii o luda, a kulou imua o ke alii; alaila, hoolohe ke alii ia lakou.
18 Basebeyitshiya indlu yeNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, bakhonza izixuku lezithombe. Kwasekusehlela ulaka phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema ngenxa yalelicala labo.
A haalele lakou i ka hale o Iehova, ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, a hookauwa lakou na Asetarota a me na kii; a hiki mai ka huhu maluna o Iuda, a me Ierusalema no keia hewa o lakou.
19 Kodwa yathuma abaprofethi phakathi kwabo ukubabuyisela eNkosini; basebefakaza bemelene labo, kodwa kababekanga indlebe.
Hoouna mai no nae oia io lakou la i na kaula e hoohuli ia lakou ia Iehova, a e ao pinepine ia lakou, aka, aole lakou i hoolohe.
20 UMoya kaNkulunkulu wasesembesa uZekhariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi owema ngaphezu kwabantu, wathi kibo: Utsho njalo uNkulunkulu: Kungani liseqa imilayo yeNkosi ukuze lingaphumeleli? Ngoba liyitshiyile iNkosi, layo ilitshiyile.
Alaila, kau mai la i ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Zekaria, ke keiki a Iehoiada, ke kahuna, a ku ae la ia imua o kanaka, olelo mai la ia lakou, Penei i olelo mai ai ke Akua. No ke aha la oukou i malama ole ai i na kanawai o Iehova, i pono ole ai oukou? No ka mea, ua haalele oukou ia Iehova, a ua haalele no hoi kela ia oukou.
21 Basebemenzela ugobe, bamkhanda ngamatshe ngomlayo wenkosi, egumeni lendlu kaJehova.
Alaila, hui ku e lakou ia ia, hailuku lakou ia ia i ka pohaku, mamuli o ke kauoha a ke alii ma ka lanai o ka hale o Iehova.
22 Ngokunjalo uJowashi inkosi kawukhumbulanga umusa uJehoyada uyise ayemenzele wona, kodwa wabulala indodana yakhe. Lalapho esifa wathi: INkosi kayibone ikufune.
Pela i hoomanao ole ai o Ioasa, ke alii, i ka lokomaikai a Iehoiada a kona makuakane i hana mai ai ia in, aka, pepehi ia i kana keiki: a i kona make ana, i mai la ia, E nana mai o Iehova, a e uku mai hoi.
23 Kwasekusithi ekuthwaseni komnyaka ibutho leSiriya lenyuka lamelana laye; basebefika koJuda leJerusalema, babhubhisa zonke iziphathamandla zabantu ebantwini, bathumela yonke impango yazo enkosini yeDamaseko.
A i ka pau ana o ka makahiki, pii ku e mai la io na la ko Suria poe koa; a komo lakou iloko o Iuda, a me Ierusalema, a luku mai la lakou i na kaukaualii o na kanaka mailoko mai o ka poe kanaka, a hoouka aku la i ka waiwai pio a pau o lakou i ke alii ma Damaseko.
24 Lanxa ibutho lamaSiriya leza lilamadoda amalutshwana, kanti iNkosi yanikela esandleni sawo ibutho elikhulu kakhulu, ngoba babeyitshiyile iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise. Ngalokho benza izigwebo kuJowashi.
No ka mea, he poe uuku ko Suria poe i hele mai, aka, ua haawi mai o Iehova iloko o ko lakou lima i ka poe nui loa, no ka mea, ua haa. lele lakou nei ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna. Pela lakou i hoopai mai ai ia Ioasa.
25 Kwathi sebesukile kuye, ngoba bemtshiye esemikhuhlaneni emikhulu, inceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe ngenxa yegazi lamadodana kaJehoyada umpristi, zambulalela embhedeni wakhe, wasesifa; basebemngcwabela emzini kaDavida, kodwa kabamngcwabanga emangcwabeni amakhosi.
A i ko lakou hoi ana mai ona aku, (no ka mea, he mai nui kona i ko lakou hanlele ana ia ia, ) hui ku e kana poe kauwa ia ia, no ke koko o na keiki a Iehoiada, ke kahuna, a pepehi lakou ia ia maluna o kona wahi moe, a make iho la ia; a ua kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, aole nae i kanu lakou ia ia iloko o ka ilina o na'lii.
26 Lalaba yibo ababemenzele ugobe: OZabadi indodana kaShimeyathi umAmonikazi, loJehozabadi indodana kaShimirithi umMowabikazi.
Eia na mea i hui ku e ia ia; o Zabada, ke keiki a Simeata, a kekahi wahine Amona, a o Iehozabada ke keiki a Simerita, a kekahi wahine Moaba.
27 Mayelana lamadodana akhe, lobukhulu bomthwalo phezu kwakhe, lokumiswa kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, khangela, kubhaliwe endabeni yogwalo lwamakhosi. UAmaziya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
A no kana poe keiki, a me na mea nui i kauia maluna ona, a no ka hoomaikai hou ana i ka hale o ke Akua, aia hoi. ua kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala o ka buke no ua'lii. A noho alii iho la o Amazia kana keiki mahope ona.
