2 Meʻa Hokohoko 30
1 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo Siuta, pea tohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tohi foki ki ʻIfalemi mo Manase, koeʻuhi ke nau haʻu ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema, ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
UHezekhiya wanxusa bonke abako-Israyeli labakoJuda, wanxusa labako-Efrayimi labakoManase ngezincwadi eJerusalema, ukuthi bazokudla iPhasika ethempelini likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
2 He naʻe fakakaukau ʻe he tuʻi mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e fakataha kotoa ʻi Selūsalema, ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina.
Inkosi lezikhulu zayo lebandla lonke eJerusalema bavumelana ukwenza ukugcina iPhasika ngenyanga yesibili.
3 He naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai fakaʻosi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ke lahi ki ai, pea naʻe teʻeki ai fakakātoa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema.
Babengenelisanga ukwenza umkhosi ngesikhathi sawo ngoba abaphristi babebalutshwana ababezingcwelisile njalo labantu babengabuthananga eJerusalema.
4 Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae tuʻi pea mo e kakai fakataha kotoa pē.
Icebo leli lakhanya lilihle enkosini lasebandleni lonke.
5 Pea naʻa nau tuʻutuʻuni ʻae fono ke fanongonongo kalanga ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē, mei Peasipa ki Tani, koeʻuhi ke nau haʻu ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi Selūsalema: he naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ia ʻo fuoloa ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tohi.
Baquma ukuthi kukhutshwe ilizwi kulolonke elako-Israyeli kusukela eBherishebha kusiya koDani, kunxuswa abantu ukuthi beze eJerusalema emkhosini wePhasika likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Umkhosi lo wawungakaze wenziwe ngabanengi kusiya ngomthetho owalotshwa phansi.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau ʻave tohi mo e ngaahi tohi mei he tuʻi mo hono houʻeiki ki he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mou toe tafoki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo ʻIsileli pea ʻe tafoki mai ia kiate kimoutolu ʻoku toe, ʻakimoutolu kuo hao mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.
Ngokulaya kwenkosi, izithunywa zangena kulolonke elako-Israyeli lelakoJuda ziphethe izincwadi ezazivela enkosini lasezikhulwini zayo, ezazilotshwe ukuthi: “Bantu bako-Israyeli, buyelani kuThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama lo-Isaka lo-Israyeli, ukuze abuyele kulabo benu abaseleyo abaphunyuke ezandleni zamakhosi ase-Asiriya.
7 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea hangē ko homou ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe fai angahala kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he malaʻia, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou mamata ki ai.
Lingabi njengaboyihlo lezihlobo zenu ababengathembekanga kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, waze wabenza baba yisibonelo sokwesabekayo njengoba libona.
8 Pea ko eni ke ʻoua naʻa mou kia kekeva, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, kae tukuange ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova, pea hū ki hono fale nofoʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ke taʻengata: pea tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke tafoki hono houhau lahi meiate kimoutolu.
Lingabi ntamolukhuni njengaboyihlo; zehliseni kuThixo. Wozani endlini yokukhonza aseyingcwelisile kuze kube nininini. Mkhonzeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze ulaka lwakhe olwesabekayo lusuke kini.
9 He kapau te mou toe tafoki kia Sihova, ʻe ʻilo ʻe homou ngaahi kāinga mo hoʻomou fānau ʻae angaʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe taki ʻo fakapōpulaʻi ʻakinautolu, ko ia te nau toe haʻu ai ki he fonua ni: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻoku angalelei ia mo angaʻofa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne kalofaki hono fofonga meiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau te mou tafoki kiate ia.”
Nxa libuyela kuThixo, abafowenu labantwabenu bazathola umusa kulabo ababathumbayo, babuye kulelilizwe, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulomusa lesihawu. Kayikulifulathela nxa libuyela kuye.”
10 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau ʻave tohi mei he kolo ki he kolo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Sepuloni: ka naʻa nau kata manuki kiate kinautolu, pea taukae ʻakinautolu.
Ngakho izithunywa zaphuma zangena kuyo yonke imizi lemizana ko-Efrayimi lakoManase, zayafika lakhonale koZebhuluni, kodwa abantu bazihleka ulunya njalo baziklolodela.
11 Ka naʻe ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi ʻAseli mo Manase, mo Sepuloni, naʻa nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu ki Selūsalema.
Lanxa kunjalo, abanye abantu bako-Asheri labakoManase labakoZebhuluni bazithoba baya eJerusalema.
12 Pea naʻe ʻi Siuta foki ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto taha ke fai ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova.
Njalo lakoJuda isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasisebantwini ukubapha ukubambana engqondweni ukuze benze lokho inkosi lezikhulu zayo eyayithe abakwenze, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
13 Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻi Selūsalema ʻae fuʻu kakai lahi ke fai ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, ko e fakataha lahi ʻaupito.
Kwabuthana abantu abalixuku elikhulu eJerusalema bethakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo ngenyanga yesibili.
14 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻo fetuku ʻo liʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, pea nau ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala, ʻo liʻaki ia ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni.
Basusa ama-alithare eJerusalema bakhucula ama-alithare empepha bawathwala bayawaphosela eSigodini saseKhidironi.
15 Pea naʻa nau toki tāmateʻi ʻa e [manu ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina: pea naʻe maʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻonau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
Babulala amazinyane ezimvu awePhasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yesibili. Abaphristi labaLevi bayangeka bazihlambulula baletha iminikelo yokutshiswa ethempelini likaThixo.
16 Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi honau potu ʻo taau mo honau anga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua: naʻe luluku ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae toto, ʻaia naʻa nau maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kau Livai.
Basebebuyela ezikhundleni zabo zenjayelo njengokumisiweyo emthethweni kaMosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu. Abaphristi bachela igazi ababeliqhutshelwa ngabaLevi.
17 He naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fakataha naʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa: ko ia naʻe ʻi he kau Livai ʻae fekau ki he tāmateʻi ʻoe ngaahi [manu ʻoe ]Lakaatu, maʻanautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai maʻa, ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu kia Sihova.
Njengoba babebanengi ababengazihlambululanga exukwini, abaLevi bahlaba amanye amazinyane ezimvu awePhasika besenzela labo ababengahlanjululwanga ngokomkhuba njalo bengelakho ukuzahlukanisela izimvu zabo phambi kukaThixo.
18 He ko e kakai tokolahi, ʻio, ʻae tokolahi ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, naʻe teʻeki ai te nau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, ka naʻa nau kai ʻae Lakaatu kae ʻikai hangē ko ia kuo tohi. Ka naʻe lotua ʻakinautolu ʻe Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova lelei fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē,
Lanxa abantu abanengi ababevela ko-Efrayimi, koManase, ko-Isakhari lakoZebhuluni babengakazihlambululi, kodwa badla iPhasika, okwakungekho emthethweni olotshiweyo. Kodwa uHezekhiya wabakhulekela wathi: “Kungathi uThixo, olungileyo, angathethelela bonke
19 ʻOku teuteu honau loto ke kumi ki he ʻOtua, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai fakamaʻa ia ʻo fakatatau ki he fakamaʻa ʻoe fale nofoʻanga.”
abamdingayo uNkulunkulu uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo loba bengahlambulukanga ngokomthetho wendawo engcwele.”
20 Pea naʻe tokanga ʻe Sihova kia Hesekaia, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻae kakai.
Lakanye uThixo wawuzwa umkhuleko kaHezekhiya wasilisa abantu.
21 Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻi he fiefia lahi: pea naʻe fakaongo lelei ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau Livai mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho hokohoko pe, ʻi he hiva mo e meʻa faiva leʻo lahi kia Sihova.
Ama-Israyeli ayeseJerusalema athakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa ngokujabula okukhulu, abaLevi labaphristi behlabelela kuThixo insuku zonke, bephathiswa ngamachacho okudumisa uThixo.
22 Pea naʻe lea fakafiemālie ʻe Hesekaia ki he kau Livai kotoa pē naʻe akonaki ʻi he ʻilo lelei ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē lolotonga ʻae kātoanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, ʻo fai ʻenau vete kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
UHezekhiya wabakhuthaza bonke abaLevi abatshengisela ukuzinikela emsebenzini kaThixo. Ngalezonsuku eziyisikhombisa badla leyongxenye eyayiyisabelo sabo njalo banikela umnikelo wobudlelwano bamdumisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
23 Pea naʻe alea fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ke toe tauhi mo e ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻa nau tauhi ʻae ʻaho kehe ʻe fitu ʻi he fiefia.
Ibandla lonke laselivumelana ukuthakazelela umkhosi lo okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; ngakho umkhosi bawuqhuba okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa bejabula.
24 He naʻe foaki ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he kakai fakataha ʻae fanga pulu ʻe taha afe, mo e sipi ʻe fitu afe: pea foaki ʻe he houʻeiki ki he kakai fakataha ʻae fanga pulu ʻe taha afe mo e sipi ʻe taha mano: pea naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki tokolahi.
UHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda walethela ibandla inkunzi eziyinkulungwane lezimvu ezizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa lembuzi zingezebandla, kwathi izikhulu lazo zaletha inkunzi eziyinkulungwane lezimvu lembuzi ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Abaphristi abanengi kakhulu bazihlambulula.
25 Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, fakataha mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea mo e kakai fakataha kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau nofo ʻi Siuta.
Ibandla lonke lakoJuda lajabula, ndawonye labaphristi labaLevi labo bonke ababebuthene bevela ko-Israyeli, ndawonye labezizweni ababevela ko-Israyeli lababehlala koJuda.
26 Ko ia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae fiefia lahi: he talu mei he kuonga ʻo Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa pehē ʻi Selūsalema.
Kwaba lokujabula okukhulu eJerusalema, ngoba kusukela ensukwini zikaSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli kwakungazange kube lomkhosi onjalo eJerusalema.
27 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻonau tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai: pea naʻe ongoʻi honau leʻo, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻenau lotu ki hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he langi.
Abaphristi labaLevi bema babusisa abantu, uNkulunkulu wabezwa, ngoba imikhuleko yabo yafika ezulwini, endaweni yakhe engcwele ahlala kiyo.
