2 Seenaa 19
1 Yeroo Yehooshaafaax mootiin Yihuudaa nagaadhaan gara masaraa isaa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼetti,
UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wasebuyela endlini yakhe ngokuthula eJerusalema.
2 Yehuun raajichi ilmi Hanaanii sun isa simachuuf baʼee akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati nama hamaa gargaaruu fi warra Waaqayyoon jibban jaallachuu qabdaa? Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo sitti dhufeera.
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.
3 Taʼus waan ati siidaawwan Aasheeraa barbadeessitee fi sababii garaan kee Waaqa barbaaduudhaaf qophaaʼaa taʼeef wanni gaariin si biratti argameera.”
Loba kunjalo izinto ezinhle zitholwe kuwe, ngoba ususile izixuku elizweni, walungisa inhliziyo yakho ukumdinga uNkulunkulu.
4 Yehooshaafaax Yerusaalem keessa jiraate; innis Bersheebaadhaa hamma biyya gaaraa Efreemitti saba gidduu deemee akka isaan gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaaniitti deebiʼan godhe.
UJehoshafathi wasehlala eJerusalema; wabuya waphuma wahamba phakathi kwabantu, kusukela eBherishebha kusiya entabeni yakoEfrayimi, wababuyisela eNkosini, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
5 Innis biyya sana keessatti magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban hundatti abbootii murtii muude.
Wasemisa abahluleli elizweni kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakoJuda, kumuzi ngomuzi.
6 Akkanas jedheen; “Waan hojjettan qalbeeffadhaa; Waaqayyo isa yeroo isin murtii kennitanitti isin wajjin jiru sanaaf jettaniiti malee namaaf jettanii murtii hin kennitaniitii.
Wasesithi kubahluleli: Bonani elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleleli umuntu kodwa iNkosi, elani endabeni yokwahlulela.
7 Waaqayyoon sodaachuun isin keessa haa jiraatu. Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya bira dabni yookaan wal caalchisuun yookaan mattaʼaa fudhachuun hin jirreef of eeggannaadhaan murtii kennaa.”
Ngakho-ke uvalo ngeNkosi kalube phezu kwenu, linanzelele likwenze, ngoba eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu kakulabubi lokukhangela ubuso lokwemukela izivalamlomo.
8 Yehooshaafaax akkasumas Yerusaalem keessatti akka isaan seera Waaqayyoo eegsisanii dubbii wal dhabiisaatiif illee araara buusaniif Lewwota, lubootaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel tokko tokko muude. Isaanis Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan.
Futhi leJerusalema uJehoshafathi wasemisa abanye kumaLevi labapristi lakunhloko zaboyise zakoIsrayeli kusahlulelo seNkosi lakumibango, sebebuyele eJerusalema.
9 Innis akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Isin amanamummaa fi garaa guutuun Waaqayyoon sodaachaa tajaajiluu qabdu.
Wasebalaya esithi: Lizakwenza njalo ekuyesabeni iNkosi, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo epheleleyo.
10 Himatawwan namoota biyya keessanii kanneen magaalaa keessa jiraatan irraa waaʼee dhiiga dhangalaasuu yookaan waaʼee seeraa, waaʼee ajajawwanii, waaʼee labsii yookaan qajeelcha diduu irratti gara keessan dhufan, akka isaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hin hojjenneef akeekkachiisaa. Yoo kanaa achii dheekkamsi isaa isinii fi obboloota keessanitti ni dhufaa. Waan kana godhaa; isinis cubbuu hin hojjettan.
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.
11 “Waan kan Waaqayyoo taʼe kam irratti iyyuu Amariyaan lubichi hangafti, waan kan mootii taʼe kam irratti iyyuu Zebaadiyaan ilmi Ishmaaʼeel hoogganaan gosa Yihuudaa isin irratti muudamaniiru; Lewwonni immoo qondaaltota taʼanii fuula keessan dura ni tajaajilu. Jabaadhaa hojjedhaa; Waaqayyo warra waan gaarii hojjettan wajjin haa jiraatu.”
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.
