2 Makoronike 21
1 Ipapo Jehoshafati akazozorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa navo muguta raDhavhidhi uye Jehoramu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
UJehoshafathi waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa kuboyise emzini kaDavida. UJoramu indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
2 Vanunʼuna vaJehoramu vanakomana vaJehoshafati vaiti Azaria, Jehieri, Zekaria, Azariyahu, Mikaeri naShefatia. Vose ava vaiva vanakomana vaJehoshafati mambo weIsraeri.
Njalo wayelabafowabo, amadodana kaJehoshafathi, oAzariya, loJehiyeli, loZekhariya, loAzariya, loMikayeli, loShefathiya. Bonke laba babengamadodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
3 Baba vavo vakanga vavapa zvipo zvakawanda zvesirivha negoridhe nezvinhu zvinokosha pamwe chete namaguta ana masvingo muJudha, asi akanga apa umambo kuna Jehoramu nokuti aiva mwanakomana wake wokutanga.
Uyise wasebanika izipho ezinengi zesiliva lezegolide lezempahla eziligugu kanye lemizi ebiyelweyo koJuda; kodwa umbuso wawunika uJehoramu ngoba wayelizibulo.
4 Jehoramu paakazvisimbisa paumambo hwababa vake, akauraya vanunʼuna vake vose pamwe chete navamwe vana voumambo veIsraeri.
UJehoramu esephakeme embusweni kayise waziqinisa, wabulala bonke abafowabo ngenkemba njalo lezinye zeziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli.
5 Jehoramu aiva namakore makumi matatu namaviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore masere.
UJehoramu wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka eyisificaminwembili eJerusalema.
6 Akafamba nenzira dzamadzimambo eIsraeri, sezvakanga zvaitwa neimba yaAhabhu nokuti akawana mwanasikana waAhabhu. Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha.
Wasehamba ngendlela yamakhosi akoIsrayeli, njengokwenza kwendlu kaAhabi, ngoba indodakazi kaAhabi yayingumkakhe; wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
7 Zvisinei hazvo, nokuda kwesungano yakanga yaitwa naJehovha naDhavhidhi, Jehovha haana kuda kuparadza imba yaDhavhidhi. Akanga avimbisa kuchengetedza mwenje wake nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi.
Kodwa iNkosi kayithandanga ukuchitha indlu kaDavida ngenxa yesivumelwano eyayisenze loDavida, lanjengoba yayithe izanika yena lamadodana akhe isibane insuku zonke.
8 Panguva yaJehoramu, Edhomu yakapandukira Judha ikagadza mambo wayo.
Ensukwini zakhe uEdoma wahlubuka wasuka phansi kwesandla sakoJuda, basebezibekela inkosi.
9 Saka Jehoramu akaendako namachinda ake nengoro dzake dzose. VaEdhomu vakamukomba navakuru vake nengoro dzake asi akasimuka akabuda pakati pavo nousiku.
UJehoramu wasechapha lenduna zakhe lenqola zonke laye, wavuka ebusuku, wawatshaya amaEdoma ayezingelezele yena lenduna zenqola.
10 Kusvikira nhasi vaEdhomu vakaramba vakamukira Judha. Ribhina yakavamukirawo panguva imwe cheteyo, nokuti Jehoramu akanga arasa Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba ake.
UEdoma wahlubuka-ke wasuka phansi kwesandla sakoJuda kuze kube lamuhla. Khona iLibhina yahlubuka ngalesosikhathi yasuka phansi kwesandla sakhe, ngoba wayedelile iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
11 Akanga avakawo nzvimbo dzakakwirira pamakomo eJudha akaita kuti vanhu veJerusarema vaite upombwe akatungamirira Judha mukurasika.
Futhi yena wenza indawo eziphakemeyo entabeni zakoJuda, wenza abahlali beJerusalema baphinge, waduhisa uJuda.
12 Jehoramu akatambira tsamba kubva kuna muprofita Eria yaiti: “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari wababa vako Dhavhidhi: ‘Hauna kufamba munzira dzababa vako Jehoshafati kana dzaAsa mambo weJudha.
Kwasekufika kuye incwadi ivela kuElija umprofethi isithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaDavida uyihlo: Ngenxa yokuthi ungahambanga ezindleleni zikaJehoshafathi uyihlo lezindleleni zikaAsa inkosi yakoJuda,
13 Asi wakafamba nomunzira dzamadzimambo eIsraeri uye wakatungamirira Judha navanhu vose veJerusarema mukuita upombwe sezvakaitwa neimba yaAhabhu. Wakaurayawo hama dzako, nhengo dzeimba yababa vako varume vakanga vari nani kupfuura iwe.
kodwa uhambe ngendlela yamakhosi akoIsrayeli, wenza uJuda labahlali beJerusalema baphinge njengobuwule bendlu kaAhabi, futhi-ke ubulele abafowenu bendlu kayihlo ababengcono kulawe,
14 Saka zvino Jehovha ava kuda kuparadza vanhu vako, vanakomana vako, vakadzi vako nechose chinonzi ndechako, neshamhu inorema kwazvo.
khangela, iNkosi izatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu ebantwini bakho lebantwaneni bakho lakubomkakho, lakuyo yonke impahla yakho.
15 Iwewe pachako ucharwara zvikuru nechirwere chomuura, kusvikira chirwere ichi chaita kuti ura hwako hubude kunze.’”
Lawe uzakuba semikhuhlaneni emikhulu ngesifo samathumbu akho, amathumbu akho aze aphume ngenxa yesifo usuku ngosuku.
16 Jehovha akamutsa vaFiristia navaArabhu vaigara pedyo navaEtiopia kuti varwise Jehoramu.
INkosi yasimvusela uJehoramu umoya wamaFilisti lamaArabhiya ayeseceleni kwamaEthiyophiya.
17 Vakarwisa Judha, vakaipamba vakatakura zvinhu zvose zvavakawana mumuzinda wamambo pamwe chete navanakomana vake navakadzi vake. Hakuna mwanakomana mumwe chete akasiyiwa kwaari kunze kwaAhazia mudiki pane vose.
Asesenyukela koJuda ayifohlela athumba yonke impahla eyatholakala endlini yenkosi kanye lamadodana ayo labafazi bayo; kakwaze kwasala indodana kuyo ngaphandle kukaJehowahazi, icinathunjana lamadodana ayo.
18 Shure kwaizvozvi zvose, Jehovha akarwadzisa Jehoramu nechirwere chisingarapike choura.
Langemva kwakho konke lokho iNkosi yamtshaya emathunjini akhe ngomkhuhlane ongelaselapho.
19 Nokufamba kwenguva mukupera kwegore rechipiri maura ake akabuda kunze nokuda kwechirwere ichi, uye akafa achirwadziwa zvikuru. Vanhu vose havana kuvesa moto wokumuremekedza sezvavakanga vaitira baba vake.
Kwasekusithi umnyaka ngomnyaka, langesikhathi sokuphuma kokucina kweminyaka emibili, amathumbu akhe aphuma ngomkhuhlane wakhe; ngakho wafa ngemikhuhlane emibi. Kodwa abantu bakhe kabambaselanga umlilo njengomlilo waboyise.
20 Jehoramu aiva namakore makumi matatu namaviri paakava mambo uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore masere. Paakafa hapana akarwadziwa nokufa kwake, akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi asi kwete kumakuva amadzimambo.
Wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lambili esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka eyisificaminwembili eJerusalema; wahamba engaloyiseki. Basebemngcwabela emzini kaDavida, kodwa hatshi emangcwabeni amakhosi.
