2 Amakhosi 12
1 Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa kaJehu uJehowashi waba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amane eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguZibiya weBherishebha.
Naʻe kamata pule ʻa Soasa ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sehu; pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sipia mei Peasipa.
2 UJehowashi wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi zonke izinsuku zakhe uJehoyada umpristi amfundisa ngazo.
Pea naʻe fai totonu ʻa Soasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē naʻe akonakiʻi ai ia ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.
3 Kodwa indawo eziphakemeyo kazisuswanga; abantu babelokhu benikela imihlatshelo betshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga: naʻe kei fai feilaulau mo e tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
4 UJehowashi wasesithi kubapristi: Yonke imali yezinto ezehlukanisiweyo elethwa endlini kaJehova, imali yalowo lalowo odlulayo kwababaliweyo, imali yalowo lalowo umuntu ayilinganisileyo, yonke imali, okuvela enhliziyweni yaloba nguwuphi umuntu ukuyiletha endlini yeNkosi;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Soasa ki he kau taulaʻeiki, “Ko e paʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻae paʻanga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoku lau, ʻae paʻanga ʻoku fakatatau ki ai ʻae tangata taki taha, pea mo e paʻanga ʻoku loto lelei ki ai ʻae tangata ke ne ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova,
5 abapristi kabayithathe kubo, ngulowo lalowo komejwayeleyo, balungise izikhala zendlu, loba kungaphi lapho okutholwa khona izikhala.
Tuku ke maʻu ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ko e taki taha mei hono kāinga: pea tuku ke nau toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale, ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ai ha maumau.”
6 Kodwa kwathi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lantathu wenkosi uJehowashi abapristi babengakalungisi izikhala zendlu.
Ka ko eni, ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Soasa naʻe teʻeki ke toe langa ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.
7 Inkosi uJehowashi yasibiza uJehoyada umpristi labapristi, yathi kibo: Kungani lingalungisi izikhala zendlu? Ngakho-ke lingathathi imali kwelibejwayeleyo kodwa liyinikele izikhala zendlu.
Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale? Ko ia foki ke ʻoua naʻa mou kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei homou kāinga, ka mou tuku ia ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.”
8 Abapristi basebevuma ukuthi kabasayikuthatha imali ebantwini lokuthi kabayikulungisa izikhala zendlu.
Pea naʻe loto ki ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei maʻu ha paʻanga mei he kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau loto ke toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale.
9 UJehoyada umpristi wasethatha ibhokisi elilodwa, wabhoboza isikhala esivalweni salo, walibeka eceleni kwelathi ngakwesokunene nxa umuntu engena endlini yeNkosi. Abapristi-ke abalinda umbundu bafaka kulo yonke imali eyalethwa endlini yeNkosi.
Ka naʻe ʻave ha ngeʻesi puha ʻe Sihoiata, ko e taulaʻeiki mo ne vili ha ava ʻi hono tāpuni, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga, ki he potu fakatoʻomataʻu ʻi heʻene hū ange ha tokotaha ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki naʻe tauhi ʻae matapā, ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
10 Kwakusithi sebebona ukuthi imali isinengi ebhokisini, umabhalane wenkosi, lompristi omkhulu benyuke, bayibophe bayibale imali eyatholwa endlini yeNkosi.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo lahi ʻae paʻanga ʻi he puha, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi mo e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea naʻa na ʻai ia ki he ngaahi kato, mo lau hake ʻae paʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
11 Basebenikela imali elinganisiweyo ezandleni zabenzi bomsebenzi, zababonisi bendlu yeNkosi, bayikhuphela kubabazi bezigodo lakubakhi ababesebenza endlini yeNkosi,
Pea naʻa nau foaki ʻae paʻanga, ka kuo ʻosi hono lau, ki he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe fai ʻae ngāue, ʻakinautolu naʻe pule ki he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau totongi ʻaki ia ki he kau tufunga mo e kau langa fale ʻaia naʻe ngāue ki he fale ʻo Sihova,
12 lakwabakha ngamatshe lakubabazi bamatshe, lokuthenga izigodo lamatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa izikhala zendlu yeNkosi, lakukho konke okwakhutshelwa indlu ukuyilungisa.
Pea ki he kau helehele maka mo e kau tā maka, pea ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka kuo tā ke toe langaʻaki ʻae ngaahi potu maumau ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻoe fale.
13 Kodwa kayenzelwanga indlu yeNkosi imiganu yesiliva, izindlawu, imiganu yokufafaza, izimpondo zokukhaliswa, laziphi izitsha zegolide lezitsha zesiliva zemali eyalethwa endlini yeNkosi,
Ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi maʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻae ngaahi ipu siliva, mo e helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, pe ha ngaahi teunga koula, pe ha ngaahi teunga siliva, mei he paʻanga naʻe ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova:
14 kodwa bayinika abenzi bomsebenzi, basebelungisa ngayo indlu yeNkosi.
Ka naʻa nau foaki ia ki he kau ngāue, mo nau toe langa ʻaki ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.
15 Njalo kababalelananga labantu abanikela imali esandleni sabo, ukupha abenzi bomsebenzi, ngoba benza ngokuthembeka.
Pea naʻe ʻikai foki ke nau ʻekeʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻakinautolu naʻe tuku ki honau nima ʻae paʻanga ke totongiʻaki ʻae kau ngāue, he naʻa nau fai angatonu pe.
16 Imali yomnikelo wecala lemali yeminikelo yesono kayilethwanga endlini yeNkosi; yayingeyabapristi.
Naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻae paʻanga ʻi he fai hala, mo e paʻanga ʻoe angahala: he naʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ia.
17 Ngalesosikhathi uHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya wenyuka walwa emelene leGathi, wayithumba. UHazayeli wasekhangelisa ubuso bakhe ukwenyuka amelane leJerusalema.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia, ke fai ʻae tau ki Kati, pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia: pea naʻe fakahanga hono mata ʻe Hasaeli ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema.
18 Kodwa uJehowashi inkosi yakoJuda wathatha zonke izinto ezingcwelisiweyo uJehoshafathi loJoramu loAhaziya oyise, amakhosi akoJuda, ababezingcwelisile, lezakhe izinto ezingcwelisiweyo, legolide lonke elatholwa enothweni yendlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi, wakuthumela kuHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya. Wasesenyuka wasuka eJerusalema.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Soasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻe Sihosafate, mo Siholami, pea mo ʻAhasia, ko ʻene ngaahi tamai, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻaʻana, pea mo e koula kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi tukunga koloa ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo ne ʻave ia kia Hasaeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia: pea naʻa ne foki atu mei Selūsalema.
19 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJowashi, lakho konke akwenzayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Soasi, pea mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
20 Inceku zakhe zasezisukuma zenza ugobe, zamtshaya uJowashi endlini yeMilo eyehlela eSila.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo nau teuteu ʻae lapa, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Soasi ʻi he fale ʻo Milo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoku hifo ki Silia.
21 Ngoba oJozakari indodana kaShimeyathi loJehozabadi indodana kaShomeri, inceku zakhe, bamtshaya, wafa; basebemngcwaba kuboyise emzini kaDavida. UAmaziya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
He naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sosaka ko e foha ʻo Simiati, mo Sihosapati ko e foha ʻa Someli, ko ʻene ongo tamaioʻeiki, pea naʻa ne mate; pea naʻa nau tanu ia fakataha mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmasia ko hono foha.
