< Taariikhdii Labaad 19 >
1 Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah nabad ugu noqday gurigiisa Yeruusaalem ku yaal.
UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi esebuyela eJerusalema esigodlweni sakhe ephephile,
2 Oo waxaa baxay oo isagii ka hor tegey Yeehuu ina Xanaanii oo wax arkihii ahaa, oo wuxuu Boqor Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, War ma waxaa kuu ekayd inaad caawiso kuwa sharka ah iyo inaad jeclaato kuwo Rabbiga neceb? Waxan daraaddiis waxaa kugu soo degtay cadho Rabbiga hortiisa ka timid.
uJehu umboni, indodana kaHanani, waphuma ukuba ayomhlangabeza wasesithi enkosini, “Kufanele yini ukuba uncedise ababi njalo uthande abamzondayo uThixo? Ngenxa yalokho, ulaka lukaThixo luphezu kwakho.
3 Habase ahaatee waxyaalo wanaagsan baa lagaa helay, maxaa yeelay, waxaad dalka ka saartay geedihii Asheeraah, oo qalbigaagana waxaad u diyaarisay inaad Rabbiga doondoonto.
Kodwa-ke kukhona okuhle ngawe, ngoba uziqedile elizweni lonke izinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera, inhliziyo yakho wayimisela ukudinga uNkulunkulu.”
4 Yehooshaafaad wuxuu degganaan jiray Yeruusaalem, oo haddana wuxuu dhex maray dadkii tan iyo Bi'ir Shebac iyo ilaa dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, oo iyagii wuxuu u soo celiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashood.
UJehoshafathi wayehlala eJerusalema, waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBherishebha kusiya elizweni lamaqaqa lako-Efrayimi wabaphendula ukuba bamkhonze uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
5 Oo dalkii oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dadka Yahuudah wuxuu magaalo ka magaalo fadhiisiyey xaakinno.
Wakhetha abehluleli elizweni, kuwo wonke amadolobho abiyelweyo akoJuda.
6 Oo xaakinnadiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxa aad samaynaysaan ka fiirsada, waayo, idinku garsoorid dad u samayn maysaan, laakiinse waxaad u samaynaysaan Rabbiga, oo weliba isaguna garsooridda wuu idinla weheliyaa.
Wabatshela wathi: “Linanzelele elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleli umuntu kodwa lehlulela uThixo, yena uzalisiza ekwahluleleni.
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ka cabsada, iska jira, oo saas yeela, waayo, xagga Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah dembi ma jiro, dadkana looma kala eexdo, laaluushna lama qaato.
Ngakho mesabeni uThixo linanzelele elikwenzayo, yahlulelani ngonanzelelo ngoba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakukho ukwehlulela kubi loba ubandlululo loba ukufumbathisana.”
8 Oo markay Yeruusaalem ku noqdeen ayaa Yehooshaafaad weliba Yeruusaalemna fadhiisiyey kuwii reer Laawi iyo wadaaddadii iyo madaxdii reeraha dadka Israa'iil inay sameeyaan Rabbiga garsooriddiisa iyo inay kuwii murma u garsooraan.
Lakhona eJerusalema, uJehoshafathi wabeka abaLevi abathile labaphristi lezinhloko zezindlu zabako-Israyeli ukuba balawule umthetho kaThixo balamule lemibango. Babehlala eJerusalema.
9 Oo wuxuu iyagii amray oo ku yidhi, Saas yeela idinkoo Rabbiga ka cabsanaya oo aamin ah oo qalbigiinnu qumman yahay.
Wabanika iziqondiso ezithi: “Kumele lethembeke ngokumesaba uThixo, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo nye epheleleyo.
10 Oo mar alla markii dacwo idiinka timaado walaalihiinna magaalooyinkooda deggan, taasoo u dhexaysa oo ah dhiig iyo dhiig, iyo sharci iyo amar, iyo qaynuun iyo xukummo, de markaas waa inaad u digtaan si aanay Rabbiga ugu dembaabin, oo aan taas aawadeed cadhada Rabbigu ugu soo degin idinka iyo walaalihiinba. Saas yeela oo eed lahaan maysaan.
Wonke amacala eza kini evela ezihlotsheni zenu kuwo wonke amadolobho elihlala kiwo loba kungamacala okuchitha igazi loba awokwephula umthetho, imilayo, izimiso loba iziqondiso, baxwayiseni ukuba bangoni kuThixo, funa ulaka lwakhe lwehlele phezu kwenu labafowenu. Lingenza lokho aliyikwenza isono.
11 Oo bal eega, axwaasha Rabbiga oo dhan waxaa idiinku sarrayn doona Amaryaah ah wadaadka sare, oo axwaasha boqorka oo dhanna waxaa idiinku sarrayn doona Sebadyaah ina Ismaaciil oo ah taliyaha reer Yahuudah, oo weliba reer Laawina hortiinnay saraakiil ku ahaan doonaan. Haddaba dhiirranaada oo Rabbiguna ha la jiro kuwii wanaagga sameeya.
U-Amariya umphristi omkhulu nguye ozalikhangela emsebenzini wonke kaThixo, kuthi uZebhadiya indodana ka-Ishumayeli, umkhokheli wesizwe sakoJuda alikhokhele ezintweni eziqondane lenkosi, abaLevi labo bazakuba yizikhulu zenu. Yenzani ngesibindi, njalo sengathi uThixo angaba lalabo abazakwenza ngobuqotho.”
