1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesikhombisa kaPheka indodana kaRemaliya uAhazi indodana kaJothamu inkosi yakoJuda waba yinkosi.

Hanki Remalia nemofo Peka'ma 17ni'a kafuma Israeli vahe kinima nemani'geno'a, Jotamu nemofo Ahasi'a Juda vahe kinia agafa huno mani'ne.

2 UAhazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lesithupha eJerusalema. Kenzanga-ke okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, njengoDavida uyise.

Ahasi'a 20'a kafu nehuno kinia fore huteno, Jerusalemi rankumapi mani'neno Juda vahera 16ni'a kafufi kegava hu'ne. Hagi Ra Anumzana agri Anumzamofo avufina havi avu'avaza nehuno, negeho Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava zana osu'ne.

3 Kodwa wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akoIsrayeli, yebo, futhi wenza indodana yakhe idabule emlilweni, njengezinengiso zezizwe iNkosi eyazixotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.

Agra Israeli kinimoza'ma hu'naza havi avu'avaza zamavaririno nehuno, ko'ma ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'ma, Israeli negazageno Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe natitre'nea vahe'mokizmi kasrino havizantfa hu'nea zamavu'zmavaza nehuno, ne'mofonena aheno tevefi kresramna vu'ne.

4 Wanikela imihlatshelo watshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo laphezu kwamaqaqa langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza.

Ana nehuno agra mono'ma nehaza kumatmimpine, agonaregane ranra zafaramimofo agafine vuno, Kresramana vu ofa nehuno mnanentake paurana tevefi kre mna vu'ne.

5 Khona uRezini inkosi yeSiriya loPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakoIsrayeli, benyukela eJerusalema ukulwa, bamvimbezela uAhazi kodwa kababanga lakho ukunqoba.

Hagi Ahasi'ma Juda kinima mani'negekea, Siria kini ne' Rezini'ene Israeli kini ne' Remalia nemofo Peka'enena Ahasina ha' eme hunenteke Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'na'anagi azeri agateore'na'e.

6 Ngalesosikhathi uRezini inkosi yeSiriya wabuyisela iElathi eSiriya, waxotsha amaJuda eElathi; amaSiriya asesiza eElathi ahlala khona kuze kube lamuhla.

Hagi ana knafina Siria kini ne' Resini'a Juda vahera Elati rankumapintira hahuzamagatereno ete ana kumara agrarega erinenteno, zamavare atrege'za vu'naze. Anama hige'za Idomu vahe'mo'za ana kumapina ufre'za umani'ne'za meni'nena mani'naze.

7 UAhazi wasethuma izithunywa kuTigilathi Pileseri inkosi yeAsiriya esithi: Ngiyinceku yakho lendodana yakho; yenyuka ungisindise esandleni senkosi yeSiriya lesandleni senkosi yakoIsrayeli abangivukelayo.

Hagi Ahasi'a amanage huno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesantega nanekea atrente'ne. Nagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nena kagri kagorga manigahuanki, Siria kini ne'ene, Israeli kinimoke'ma eke ha'ma hunenanta'ana eme hara hunka naza huo.

8 UAhazi wasethatha isiliva legolide okwakutholwa endlini kaJehova lenothweni yendlu yenkosi, wathumela isipho enkosini yeAsiriya.

Ahasi'ma anagema huteno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ra mono nompine, kinimofo nompima zagoma nentafima me'nea silvane goliraminena erino, Asiria kinirega museza atrente'ne.

9 Inkosi yeAsiriya yasimlalela, ngoba inkosi yeAsiriya yenyuka imelene leDamaseko yayithumba, yabathumbela eKiri abantu bayo, yabulala uRezini.

Anama higeno'a Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Ahasi'ma hiankea antahinemino, sondia vahe'a zamavarege'za e'za Aramu vahe rankuma Damaskasi ha' eme hu'za ana kumara eri zamagrarega atre'naze. Anama huteno anante Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa'a Siria kini ne' Resinina ahe nefrino, ana maka Damaskasima nemaniza vahera zamavareno Kiri rankumate ome kina huzmante'ne.

10 Inkosi uAhazi yasisiya eDamaseko ukuhlangana loTigilathi Pileseri inkosi yeAsiriya, yabona ilathi elaliseDamaseko. Inkosi uAhazi yasithumela kuUriya umpristi isimo selathi lomfanekiso walo njengokwenziwa kwalo konke.

Anama hutegeno henka kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasi vuno Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa ome kenaku vu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'ma Damaskasima mani'neno'a kresramna vu ita mago me'nea keteno, ana itamofo amema'a krenenteno, inankna huno anahukna itama tro'ma hania zamofo naneke'a ana maka krenteteno, atregeno pristi ne' Uria'ma Jerusalema mani'nerega vu'ne.

11 U-Uriya umpristi wasesakha ilathi njengakho konke uAhazi akuthumela kuvela eDamaseko; uUriya umpristi wenza njalo, yaze yafika inkosi uAhazi ivela eDamaseko.

E'ina higeno pristi ne' Uria'a avompima kretregeno e'nea kante anteno Damaskasima me'nea kresramnavu itagna ita tro hu'ne. Hagi Ahasi'a Damaskasia atreno Jerusalemia viana ana ita pristi ne' Uria'a ko tro huvagarente'nego ome ke'ne.

12 Inkosi isibuyile eDamaseko inkosi yalibona ilathi. Inkosi yasondela elathini, yanikela phezu kwalo.

Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Damaskasiti eno, ana ita eme negeno erava'o huno, ana itare ofa hunaku mareri'ne.

13 Yasitshisa umnikelo wayo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wayo wokudla, yathela umnikelo wayo wokunathwayo, yafafaza igazi leminikelo yokuthula eyayilayo phezu kwelathi.

Hagi Ahasi'a ana itarera tevefi kre fanane hu ofane, witi ofane, tima tagi tre ofanena nehuno, kora rutritri huno rimpa fru ofa kresramana vu itamofo agofetu hu'ne.

14 Kodwa ilathi lethusi elaliphambi kweNkosi yaliletha lisuka phambi kwendlu, lisuka phakathi kwelathi lendlu yeNkosi, yalifaka ehlangothini lwenyakatho lwelathi.

Ahasi'ma ofama huteno'a, ko'ma bronsiretima tro'ma hu'naza kresramna vu ita, Ra Anumzamofo mono none, kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo amu'nozanifima me'neana erino kasefa'ma tro'ma hu'nea itamofo noti kaziga erinte'ne.

15 Inkosi uAhazi yasimlaya uUriya umpristi isithi: Phezu kwelathi elikhulu tshisa umnikelo wokutshiswa wekuseni, lomnikelo wokudla wantambama, lomnikelo wokutshiswa wenkosi, lomnikelo wayo wokudla, lomnikelo wokutshiswa wabo bonke abantu belizwe, lomnikelo wabo wokudla, leminikelo yabo yokunathwayo; ufafaze phezu kwalo lonke igazi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lalo lonke igazi lomhlatshelo. Kodwa ilathi lethusi lizakuba ngelami ukubuza ngalo.

Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a amanage huno pristi ne' Uriana asmi'ne, kasefa'ma trohu kresramna vu itarera, nanterana tevefi kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, kinaga witi ofa nehunka, kinimofo kre fanane hu ofa nehunka, witi ofa'anena nehunka, maka vahe'mokizmi tevefi kre fanane hu ofazamine witi ofazamine tima tagitre ofazaminena nehunka, ana maka tevefima kre fananehu ofama hanaza ofamofone ruga'a ofama hanaza ofamofo korana erinka itamofo agofetu runi'ni huo. Hianagi bronsireti'ma trohu ita, nagri su'za me'nenige'na ana itare nagra ofa nehu'na, nanknazama nagripima hania zamofona Ra Anumzamofona antahigegahue.

16 U-Uriya umpristi wasesenza njengakho konke inkosi uAhazi eyayikulayile.

Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'ma asamia nanekea pristi ne' Uria'a amage anteno ana maka'zana tro hu'ne.

17 Inkosi uAhazi yasiquma imiphetho yezisekelo, yasusa inditshi yokugezela kuzo, yethula ulwandle phezu kwenkabi zethusi ezazingaphansi kwalo, yalubeka phezu kokugandelwe ngamatshe.

Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'a Ra Anumzamofo mono nompintira bronsireti'ma tro huntene'za erigantugmama nehaza tra'mofo asoparegati timafinte kavoa ome enerino, ana itare'ma me'nea osi zuomparamina eri'ne. Ana nehuno timafinte rankavoma, bronsireti'ma trohu bulimakaomo'ma vazisgama hunte'neana ana bulimakaona eritreno havereti tra'a trohuno ana timafinte rankavoa ana agofetu retrure'ne.

18 Lokwembesiweyo kwesabatha ababekwakhe endlini, lentuba yenkosi phandle, yakususa endlini yeNkosi, ngenxa yenkosi yeAsiriya.

Ana nehuno Ahasi'a Sabati zupama retaneraza seli nona ra mono no tvaontetira erinetreno, kinimofo nonteti'ma ra mono nomofo kumapima nevaza kahana renkanire'ne. E'ina maka'zama hu'neana, Asiria kini ne' Tiglat-Pilesa antahintahi avaririno anara hu'ne.

19 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAhazi azenzayo, kazibhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?

Hagi Ahasi'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore hu'nea zamtamine, ana maka zama tro'ma hu'nea zantamimofo agenkea, Juda vahe kinimofo agigenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

20 UAhazi waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa kuboyise emzini kaDavida. UHezekhiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

Hanki Ahasi'ma frige'za afahe'ima asenezmantazafi, Deviti rankumapi asente'naze. Anama hutazageno nemofo Hezekaia nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.
