2 Tuʻi 21
1 Naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hefisipa.
UManase wayeleminyaka elitshumi lambili eqalisa ukubusa njalo wabusa okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lemihlanu eJerusalema. Ibizo likanina lalinguHefizibha.
2 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa kovi ʻae hiteni, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Wenza ububi emehlweni kaThixo, elandela imikhuba eyenyanyekayo yezizwe uThixo ayezixotshile phambi kuka-Israyeli.
3 He naʻa ne toe langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae vaotapu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe lotu ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, mo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
Wavuselela izindawo zokukhonzela ezazidilizwe nguyise uHezekhiya, wakha lama-alithare kaBhali wenza lensika ka-Ashera, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe ngu-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli. Wakhothamela zonke izinkanyezi zezulu wazikhonza.
4 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova, Te u ʻai hoku huafa ʻi Selūsalema.
Wakha ama-alithare ethempelini likaThixo, lona uThixo ayethe, “EJerusalema ngizabeka khona iBizo lami.”
5 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae langi ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
Kuwo womabili amaguma ethempeli likaThixo, wakhela izinkanyezi zezulu ama-alithare.
6 Pea naʻa ne tuku hono foha ke ʻalu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻe tokanga ia ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tuki [fakatēvolo ]pea naʻe kau ia mo e kau laumālie kovi mo e kau kikite loi: naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu hono houhau.
Wenza umhlatshelo ngendodana yakhe emlilweni, wavumisa, wenza imilingo, wasebenza lezanuse labemimoya. Wenza okubi kakhulu emehlweni kaThixo, wamthukuthelisa.
7 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua ʻi he vao tapu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u ʻai hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata ki he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia kuo u fili mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
Wathatha insika ebaziweyo ka-Ashera ayeyenzile wayifaka ethempelini, lona lelo kanye uThixo ayethe kuDavida lakuSolomoni indodana yakhe, “Kulelithempeli lakulo umuzi waseJerusalema, engiwukhethileyo kuzozonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, ngizabeka iBizo lami kuze kube nininini.
8 Pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; ʻo kapau pe te nau tokanga ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, pea fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese kiate kinautolu.”
Angiyikuphinda ngenze inyawo zabako-Israyeli zizule elizweni engalinika okhokho babo, nxa bezananzelela balandele yonke imilayo engabanika yona bagcine wonke uMthetho abawunikwa nguMosi inceku yami.”
9 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga: pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Manase ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Kodwa abantu abalalelanga. UManase wabalahlekisa, ngakho bona kakhulu ukwedlula izizwe uThixo ayezitshabalalise phambi kokuba u-Israyeli angene.
10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo pehē,
UThixo wakhuluma ngezinceku zakhe abaphrofethi wathi:
11 “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe Manase ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ni, pea kuo ne fai angakovi lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, pea kuo ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻotua loi:
“UManase inkosi yakoJuda wenzile wonke amanyala la. Wenzile izono lezi ezenyanyekayo. Usenze ububi obukhulu obedlula obama-Amori ayekhona ngaphambi kwakhe, njalo usekhokhelele uJuda esonweni ngezithombe zakhe,
12 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Vakai, ʻOku ou ʻomi ha kovi pehē ki Selūsalema, mo Siuta, ko ia fulipē ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe vavana hono telinga fakatouʻosi pe.
ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuthi, Ngizakwehlisela phezu kweJerusalema loJuda incithakalo ezakwenza indlebe zakhe wonke oyizwayo zinkenteze.
13 Pea te u falō atu ʻi ʻolunga ki Selūsalema ʻae afo ʻo Samēlia, mo e afo fakafuofua ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: pea te u holoholo ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e holoholo ʻae ipukai ʻae tangata, ʻo holoholo ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki lalo.
Ngizakwelula phezu kweJerusalema intambo eyasetshenziswa ekulahleni iSamariya, lentambo eyasetshenziswa ekulahleni indlu ka-Ahabi. Ngizakwesula iJerusalema njengomuntu owesula umganu, awesule awumbokothe.
14 Pea te u liʻaki hono toe ʻo hoku tofiʻa, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau fili: pea te nau hoko ko e meʻa ke vete mo maumau ʻe honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē;
Ngizalahla insalela yabantu bami, ngibanikele ezitheni zabo. Bazathunjwa babe yimpango yezitha zabo zonke,
15 Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fakatupu ʻeku houhau, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻe haʻu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
ngoba benzile okubi phambi kwami, bangithukuthelisa, kusukela ekuphumeni kwabokhokho babo eGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla.”
16 Ka ko eni, naʻe lingi ʻe Manase ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻa Selūsalema mei he potu ʻe taha ki he potu ʻe taha; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa Siuta, ʻi he fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Futhi uManase wachitha igazi elinengi kakhulu elingelacala waze waligcwalisa iJerusalema kusukela ekuqaleni kwalo kuze kube sekucineni, ngaphandle kwesono ayebangele uJuda ukuba asenze, ngakho benza isono emehlweni kaThixo.
17 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Manase, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
Ezinye izehlakalo ngokubusa kukaManase, lakho konke akwenzayo, kanye lesono asenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
18 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he ngoue ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmoni ko hono foha.
UManase waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe, wangcwatshelwa esivandeni sesigodlo sakhe, isivande sika-Uza. U-Amoni indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
19 Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Mesulemeti, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halusi ʻoe kakai Sotipa.
U-Amoni waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka emibili. Ibizo likanina lalinguMeshulemethi indodakazi kaHaruzi; owayevela eJothibha.
20 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene tamai ko Manase.
Wenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise uManase.
21 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ai ʻene tamai, mo ne tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi naʻe tauhi ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne lotu kiate kinautolu:
Walandela konke okwakwenziwe nguyise, wakhonza izithombe ezazikhonzwa nguyise, njalo wazikhothamela.
22 Pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova.
Wamdela uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho bakhe, njalo kazange ahambe ngendlela kaThixo.
23 Pea naʻe teu ʻae lapa ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAmoni kiate ia, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.
Izikhulu zika-Amoni zamelana laye zabumba icebo zambulala esigodlweni sakhe.
24 Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sosaia ko hono foha ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi.
Abantu bakulelolizwe basebebulala ababecebe ukubulala inkosi u-Amoni, basebebeka indodana yakhe uJosiya waba yinkosi, esikhundleni sakhe.
25 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAmoni, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
Ezinye izehlakalo ngokubusa kuka-Amoni, lakho konke akwenzayo, akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
26 Pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he fonualoto ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sosaia.
Wangcwatshwa ethuneni lakhe, esivandeni sika-Uza. UJosiya indodana yakhe wathatha ubukhosi.
