1 UJosiya wayeleminyaka eyisificaminwembili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lanye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguJedida indodakazi kaAdaya weBhozikhathi.
Yosia xɔ ƒe enyi esi woɖoe fiae. Eɖu fia ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ɖekɛ le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Yedida si nye Adaya tso Bozkat la ƒe vinyɔnu.
2 Wasesenza okulungileyo emehlweni eNkosi, wahamba ngayo yonke indlela kaDavida uyise, kaze aphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo.
Ewɔ nu si nyo le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòto tɔgbuia David ƒe afɔtoƒewo pɛpɛpɛ. Medze ɖe ɖusime alo miame o.
3 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wenkosi uJosiya, inkosi yathuma uShafani indodana kaAzaliya indodana kaMeshulamu, umabhalane, endlini yeNkosi, esithi:
Le Fia Yosia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me la, Yosia ɖo eƒe nuŋlɔla Safan, Azalia ƒe viŋutsu, ame si nye Mesulam ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi la ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me. Egblɔ be,
4 Yenyukela kuHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu ukuthi ahlanganise imali elethwe endlini yeNkosi, abalindi bombundu womnyango ababeyiqoqe ebantwini.
“Yi Hilkia, nunɔlagã la gbɔ wòaƒo ƒu ga si wotsɔ va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, si nye ga si agbonudzɔlawo xɔ tso ameawo si la da ɖi.
5 Kabayinikele esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi, kabayinike abenzi bomsebenzi osendlini yeNkosi, ukulungisa izikhala zendlu,
Na woatsɔ ga la na ame siwo wotia be woakpɔ gbedoxɔ la dzadzraɖo ƒe dɔwo dzi. Na ame siawo naxe fe na Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu dɔwɔlawo:
6 kubabazi, lakubakhi, lakubabazi bamatshe, lokuthenga amapulanka lamatshe abaziweyo ukulungisa indlu.
atikpalawo, xɔtulawo kple gliɖolawo. Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, na woaƒle ati kple kpe kpakpawo atsɔ adzra gbedoxɔ la ɖo.
7 Kodwa akubalelwananga labo imali eyayinikelwe esandleni sabo ngoba benza ngokuthembeka.
Womebia tso xɔtutudɔdzikpɔlawo si be woawɔ akɔnta tso woƒe nu gbegblẽwo ŋu tsitotsito o elabena wonye nuteƒewɔlawo.”
8 UHilikhiya umpristi omkhulu wasesithi kuShafani umabhalane: Sengifice ugwalo lomlayo endlini yeNkosi. UHilikhiya wasenika uShafani ugwalo, waselufunda.
Gbe ɖeka la, nunɔlagã Hilkia yi nuŋlɔla Safan gbɔ eye wògblɔ be, “Mefɔ Segbalẽ aɖe le le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.” Etsɔe na Safan eye Safan xlẽe.
9 UShafani umabhalane wasefika enkosini, wabuyisela ilizwi enkosini wathi: Izinceku zakho seziyithulule imali eficwe endlini, zayinikela esandleni sabenzi bomsebenzi abamiswe phezu kwendlu yeNkosi.
Safan, nuŋlɔla la yi fia la gbɔ hegblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔnunɔlawo tsɔ ga si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la na dɔwɔlawo kple dɔdzikpɔlawo le gbedoxɔ la me.”
10 UShafani umabhalane wasebika enkosini esithi: UHilikhiya umpristi unginike ugwalo. UShafani waselufunda phambi kwenkosi.
Safan, nuŋlɔla la na nyanya fia la be, “Nunɔlagã Hilkia tsɔ agbalẽ aɖe nam.” Safan xlẽ agbalẽ la me nyawo na fia la.
11 Kwasekusithi inkosi isizwile amazwi ogwalo lomlayo, yadabula izigqoko zayo.
Esi fia la se Segbalẽ la me nyawo la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye wòdze eƒe awuwo.
12 Inkosi yasilaya uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu indodana kaShafani loAkhibhori indodana kaMikhaya loShafani umabhalane loAsaya inceku yenkosi, isithi:
Eɖe gbe na nunɔla Hilkia, Ahikam, Safan ƒe viŋutsu, Akbor, Mikaya ƒe viŋutsu, nuŋlɔla Safan kple Asaya, fia ƒe subɔla be,
13 Hambani liyengibuzela eNkosini mina labantu loJuda wonke mayelana lamazwi alolugwalo oluficiweyo; ngoba yinkulu intukuthelo yeNkosi esesiyibaselwe, ngoba obaba kabawalalelanga amazwi alolugwalo, ukwenza konke okubhaliweyo mayelana lathi.
“Miyi miabia Yehowa nam kple ameawo kple Yuda blibo la tso nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si wofɔ la ŋuti. Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe mía ŋu elabena mía fofowo mewɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me nyawo dzi o; womezɔ ɖe nu siwo katã woŋlɔ tso mía ŋu ɖe agbalẽ sia me la nu o.”
14 Ngakho uHilikhiya umpristi loAhikhamu loAkhibhori loShafani loAsaya baya kuHulida umprofethikazi umkaShaluma indodana kaTikiva indodana kaHarihasi, umgcini wezigqoko. Wayehlala-ke eJerusalema esiGabeni seSibili. Basebekhuluma laye.
Ale nunɔla Hilkia, Ahikam, Akbor, Safan kple Asaya yi ɖaƒo nu kple nyɔnu Nyagblɔɖila Hulda si le Yerusalem ƒe akpa yeye. Nyɔnu Nyagblɔɖila sia nye Tikva ƒe viŋutsu Salum srɔ̃. Harhas si dzi Tikva nye nudodowo dzraɖoƒe dzikpɔla.
15 Wasesithi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mtsheleni lowomuntu olithume kimi:
Egblɔ na wo be, “Nu si Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye, ‘Gblɔ na ame si ɖo wò ɖe gbɔnye la be,
16 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakwehlisela okubi kulindawo laphezu kwabakhileyo bayo, wonke amazwi ogwalo inkosi yakoJuda elufundileyo.
Yehowa ƒe gbee nye esi: mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va teƒe sia kple eƒe amewo dzi ɖe nu sia nu si woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si Yuda fia xlẽ la nu.
17 Ngenxa yokuthi bangidelile, batshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, ukuze bangithukuthelise ngawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo. Ngakho intukuthelo yami izavutha imelene lale indawo, ingacitshwa.
Elabena wogbe nu le gbɔnye, wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eye wodo dɔmedzoe nam kple legba siwo wotsɔ woƒe asiwo wɔ la. Nye dɔmedzoe abi ɖe teƒe sia ŋu eye matso o.’
18 Kodwa enkosini yakoJuda elithumileyo ukubuza eNkosini, lizakutsho njalo kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Mayelana lamazwi eliwezwileyo:
Gblɔ na Yuda fia, ame si dɔ wò be nàbia gbe Yehowa be, ‘Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ tso nya siwo ke nèse la ŋuti.
19 Ngoba inhliziyo yakho ibithambile, wazithoba phambi kweNkosi, lapho usizwa engikukhulume ngimelene lalindawo labakhileyo bayo, ukuthi bazakuba yincithakalo lesiqalekiso, wadabula izigqoko zakho, wakhala inyembezi phambi kwami, lami-ke ngizwile, kutsho iNkosi.
Ke esi miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ve mi eye miebɔbɔ mia ɖokui le Yehowa ŋkume, esi miese nu si megblɔ tsɔ tsi tsitre ɖe teƒe sia kple eƒe amewo ŋu be woaƒo fi ade anyigba sia wòazu aƒedo, eye esi miedze miaƒe awuwo eye miefa avi le nye ŋkume le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta la, maɖo to miaƒe kukuɖeɖe.
20 Ngakho, khangela, ngizakubuthela kuboyihlo, njalo uzabuthelwa engcwabeni lakho ngokuthula, lamehlo akho kawayikubona bonke ububi engizabehlisela phezu kwalindawo. Basebebuyisela ilizwi enkosini.
Eya ta àku eye woaɖi wò le ŋutifafa me. Wò ŋkuwo makpɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e si mahe va dukɔ sia dzi o.’” Ale woxɔ eƒe ŋuɖoɖo yi na fia la.
