UHezekhiya wanxusa bonke abako-Israyeli labakoJuda, wanxusa labako-Efrayimi labakoManase ngezincwadi eJerusalema, ukuthi bazokudla iPhasika ethempelini likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
2 Ɔhene no, ne mpanyimfo ne ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa yɛɛ adwene sɛ wobedi Twam no ɔsram a ɛto so abien no mu.
Inkosi lezikhulu zayo lebandla lonke eJerusalema bavumelana ukwenza ukugcina iPhasika ngenyanga yesibili.
3 Na anka wodi Twam no ɔsram ansa na ɔsram a ɛto so abien no afi ase, nanso na asɔfo no bebree ntumi nnwiraa wɔn ho, na ɔmanfo no nso mmoaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Yerusalem ɛ.
Babengenelisanga ukwenza umkhosi ngesikhathi sawo ngoba abaphristi babebalutshwana ababezingcwelisile njalo labantu babengabuthananga eJerusalema.
4 Adwene a wɔyɛɛ sɛ wobedi Twam no, na eye ma ɔhene no ne ɔmanfo no nyinaa.
Icebo leli lakhanya lilihle enkosini lasebandleni lonke.
5 Enti wɔbɔɔ no dawuru wɔ Israel nyinaa fi Beer-Seba a ɛwɔ anafo fam kosi Dan a ɛwɔ atifi fam sɛ, obiara mmra Yerusalem mmedi Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn Twam no bi. Na nnipa dodow nni Twam no sɛnea mmara no kyerɛ.
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 Ɔhene no hyɛ ma wɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ Israel ne Yuda mmaa nyinaa. Wɔmaa wɔn nkrataa a na emu nsɛm ka se: “Israel manfo, monsan mmra Awurade, Abraham, Isak ne Israel Nyankopɔn nkyɛn, sɛnea ɔbɛsan aba mo, nnipa kakra a moaka, mo a moatumi aguan afi Asiria ahemfo nsam no nkyɛn.
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 Monnyɛ sɛ mo agyanom ne mo abusuafo a wogyaw Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn, a wɔyɛɛ aserewde sɛnea mo ankasa muhu yi.
Lingabi njengaboyihlo lezihlobo zenu ababengathembekanga kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, waze wabenza baba yisibonelo sokwesabekayo njengoba libona.
8 Monnyɛ asoɔden sɛnea na wɔte no, na mmom, mommrɛ mo ho ase mma Awurade. Mommra nʼAsɔredan a wɔayi asi hɔ sɛ ade kronkron no mu daa nyinaa. Monsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, sɛnea nʼabufuwhyew no befi mo so.
Lingabi ntamolukhuni njengaboyihlo; zehliseni kuThixo. Wozani endlini yokukhonza aseyingcwelisile kuze kube nininini. Mkhonzeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze ulaka lwakhe olwesabekayo lusuke kini.
9 Na sɛ mosan ba Awurade nkyɛn a, mo abusuafo ne mo mma benya ahummɔbɔ wɔ wɔn a wɔfaa wɔn nnommum no nsam, na wobetumi asan aba asase yi so. Efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn yɛ ɔdɔ ne ahummɔbɔ. Sɛ mosan ba ne nkyɛn a, ɔrenyi nʼani mfi mo so.”
Nxa libuyela kuThixo, abafowenu labantwabenu bazathola umusa kulabo ababathumbayo, babuye kulelilizwe, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulomusa lesihawu. Kayikulifulathela nxa libuyela kuye.”
10 Abɔfo no kyinii nkurow a ɛwɔ Efraim ne Manase kosi Sebulon so. Nanso nnipa no mu bebree serew abɔfo no, dii wɔn ho fɛw.
Ngakho izithunywa zaphuma zangena kuyo yonke imizi lemizana ko-Efrayimi lakoManase, zayafika lakhonale koZebhuluni, kodwa abantu bazihleka ulunya njalo baziklolodela.
11 Nanso wɔn a wofi Aser, Manase ne Sebulon mu bi brɛɛ wɔn ho ase, kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Lanxa kunjalo, abanye abantu bako-Asheri labakoManase labakoZebhuluni bazithoba baya eJerusalema.
12 Saa bere koro no ara mu, na Onyankopɔn nsa wɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda no so. Na ɛhyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ baako, na wɔnyɛ osetie mma Awurade asɛm a efi ɔhene ne ne mpanyimfo no nkyɛn no.
Njalo lakoJuda isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasisebantwini ukubapha ukubambana engqondweni ukuze benze lokho inkosi lezikhulu zayo eyayithe abakwenze, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
13 Enti dɔm kɛse hyiaa wɔ Yerusalem ɔsram a ɛto so abien no mu, sɛ wɔrebedi Twam no ne Apiti Afahyɛ no.
Kwabuthana abantu abalixuku elikhulu eJerusalema bethakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo ngenyanga yesibili.
14 Wofii ase bubuu abosonsomfo afɔremuka no nyinaa fii Yerusalem. Woyiyii nnuhuam afɔremuka nyinaa kɔtow guu Kidron bon mu.
Basusa ama-alithare eJerusalema bakhucula ama-alithare empepha bawathwala bayawaphosela eSigodini saseKhidironi.
15 Da a wɔahyɛ wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so abien no dui no, ɔmanfo no kunkum wɔn Twam nguantenmma. Na asɔfo no ne Lewifo no ani wui nti, wodwiraa wɔn ho, na wɔde ɔhyew afɔre baa Awurade Asɔredan mu.
Babulala amazinyane ezimvu awePhasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yesibili. Abaphristi labaLevi bayangeka bazihlambulula baletha iminikelo yokutshiswa ethempelini likaThixo.
16 Obiara kogyinaa nʼafa wɔ Asɔredan no mu, sɛnea Mose a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no mmara no kyerɛ no. Lewifo no de mogya afɔrebɔde no brɛɛ asɔfo no, maa wɔn nso pete guu afɔremuka no so.
Basebebuyela ezikhundleni zabo zenjayelo njengokumisiweyo emthethweni kaMosi umuntu kaNkulunkulu. Abaphristi bachela igazi ababeliqhutshelwa ngabaLevi.
17 Esiane sɛ na ɔmanfo no mu bebree nnwiraa wɔn ho nti, Lewifo no na wokunkum wɔn Twam nguantenmma no maa wɔn, nam so tew ho maa Awurade.
Njengoba babebanengi ababengazihlambululanga exukwini, abaLevi bahlaba amanye amazinyane ezimvu awePhasika besenzela labo ababengahlanjululwanga ngokomkhuba njalo bengelakho ukuzahlukanisela izimvu zabo phambi kukaThixo.
18 Na wɔn a wofi Efraim, Manase, Isakar ne Sebulon no mu fa kɛse no ara nnwira wɔn ho de, nanso ɔhene Hesekia bɔɔ mpae maa wɔn, na wɔmaa wɔn kwan ma wodii Twam aduan no bi a na anka etia Onyankopɔn mmara. Hesekia bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade a ɔyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo no mfa nnipa a
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 wɔasi wɔn adwene pi sɛ wobedi Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn akyi no bɔne nkyɛ wɔn, mpo, sɛ wonnwiraa wɔn ho yiye mmaa afahyɛ no a.”
abamdingayo uNkulunkulu uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo loba bengahlambulukanga ngokomthetho wendawo engcwele.”
20 Na Awurade tiee Hesekia na ɔsaa ɔmanfo no yare.
Lakanye uThixo wawuzwa umkhuleko kaHezekhiya wasilisa abantu.
21 Enti ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no de nnanson dii Apiti Afahyɛ no anigye so. Da biara, Lewifo ne asɔfo no too nnwom maa Awurade de nnwontode a ano yɛ den memmaa ho.
Ama-Israyeli ayeseJerusalema athakazelela uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa ngokujabula okukhulu, abaLevi labaphristi behlabelela kuThixo insuku zonke, bephathiswa ngamachacho okudumisa uThixo.
22 Hesekia hyɛɛ Lewifo no nkuran wɔ ɔkwan pa a wɔfa so som Awurade no ho. Na afahyɛ no kɔɔ so nnanson. Wɔbɔɔ asomdwoe afɔre, na ɔmanfo kaa wɔn bɔne kyerɛɛ Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
UHezekhiya wabakhuthaza bonke abaLevi abatshengisela ukuzinikela emsebenzini kaThixo. Ngalezonsuku eziyisikhombisa badla leyongxenye eyayiyisabelo sabo njalo banikela umnikelo wobudlelwano bamdumisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu waboyise.
23 Bagua no nyinaa yɛɛ wɔn adwene sɛ, wɔbɛtoa so adi afahyɛ no nnanson bio enti wɔde anigye toaa so nnaawɔtwe.
Ibandla lonke laselivumelana ukuthakazelela umkhosi lo okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa; ngakho umkhosi bawuqhuba okwezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa bejabula.
24 Ɔhene Hesekia maa ɔmanfo no anantwinini apem ne nguan mpem ason sɛ wɔmfa mmɔ afɔre, na mpanyimfo no nso maa anantwinini apem ne nguan mpem du. Bere koro no ara mu, asɔfo no bebree dwiraa wɔn ho.
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 Yuda bagua nyinaa a asɔfo, Lewifo ne wɔn a wofi Israel asase so nyinaa, ananafo a wobedii afahyɛ no ne wɔn a na wɔte Yuda nyinaa ani gyei.
Ibandla lonke lakoJuda lajabula, ndawonye labaphristi labaLevi labo bonke ababebuthene bevela ko-Israyeli, ndawonye labezizweni ababevela ko-Israyeli lababehlala koJuda.
26 Anigye kɛse baa kuropɔn no mu, efisɛ na Yerusalem nhuu afahyɛ a ɛte sɛɛ bi da, efi Salomo ɔhene Dawid babarima no bere so.
Kwaba lokujabula okukhulu eJerusalema, ngoba kusukela ensukwini zikaSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli kwakungazange kube lomkhosi onjalo eJerusalema.
27 Na asɔfo no ne Lewifo no sɔre hyiraa ɔmanfo no, na Onyankopɔn tiee wɔn, efisɛ wɔn mpaebɔ duu ɔsoro, nʼatenae wɔ kronkronbea hɔ.
Abaphristi labaLevi bema babusisa abantu, uNkulunkulu wabezwa, ngoba imikhuleko yabo yafika ezulwini, endaweni yakhe engcwele ahlala kiyo.
