Tarix-tezkire 2 19
1 Yehuda padishahi Yehoshafat aman-ésen Yérusalémdiki ordisigha qaytip keldi.
UJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi esebuyela eJerusalema esigodlweni sakhe ephephile,
2 Aldin körgüchi Hananining oghli Yehu padishah Yehoshafatning aldigha chiqip: — Séning rezillerning yardimide bolup, Perwerdigargha öch bolghanlarni söygining durusmu? Shu sewebtin Perwerdigarning ghezipi béshinggha chüshidighan boldi.
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 Halbuki, sen asherah butlirini zémindin yoqitip tashlighining we Xudani izdeshke niyet qilghining üchün sendimu yaxshiliq tépildi, dédi.
Kodwa-ke kukhona okuhle ngawe, ngoba uziqedile elizweni lonke izinsika zikankulunkulukazi u-Ashera, inhliziyo yakho wayimisela ukudinga uNkulunkulu.”
4 Yehoshafat Yérusalémda olturatti; kéyinki waqitlarda u xelq arisigha chiqip, Beer-Shébadin tartip Efraim taghlirighiche seper qilip, xelqni towa qildurup ata-bowilirining Xudasi Perwerdigargha yandurdi.
UJehoshafathi wayehlala eJerusalema, waphuma wahambela abantu kusukela eBherishebha kusiya elizweni lamaqaqa lako-Efrayimi wabaphendula ukuba bamkhonze uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo.
5 U yene Yehuda tewesidiki barliq qorghanliq sheherlerde soraqchilarni teyinlidi;
Wakhetha abehluleli elizweni, kuwo wonke amadolobho abiyelweyo akoJuda.
6 u soraqchilargha: — Öz qilghanliringlargha éhtiyatchan bolunglar; chünki silerning höküm chiqirishinglar insan üchün emes, belki Perwerdigar üchündur; siler höküm chiqarghininglarda u choqum siler bilen bille bolidu.
Wabatshela wathi: “Linanzelele elikwenzayo, ngoba kalehluleli umuntu kodwa lehlulela uThixo, yena uzalisiza ekwahluleleni.
7 Emdi Perwerdigarning wehimisi köz aldinglarda bolsun; öz qilghanliringlargha éhtiyatchan bolunglar; chünki Perwerdigar Xudayimizda naheqliq yoq, yüz-xatir qilish yoq, para yéyishmu yoqtur, dédi.
Ngakho mesabeni uThixo linanzelele elikwenzayo, yahlulelani ngonanzelelo ngoba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakukho ukwehlulela kubi loba ubandlululo loba ukufumbathisana.”
8 Yehoshafat Lawiylardin, kahinlardin we Israil jemetlirining bashliridin bezilerni Yérusalémgha qayturup kélip, ularni Yérusalémdimu Perwerdigarning hökümlirini chiqirish we xelqning erz-dewalirini bir terep qilishqa teyinlidi.
Lakhona eJerusalema, uJehoshafathi wabeka abaLevi abathile labaphristi lezinhloko zezindlu zabako-Israyeli ukuba balawule umthetho kaThixo balamule lemibango. Babehlala eJerusalema.
9 Yehoshafat ulargha: — Siler bu ishlarni Perwerdigarning qorqunchida bolup sadaqetlik bilen chin könglünglardin béjiringlar.
Wabanika iziqondiso ezithi: “Kumele lethembeke ngokumesaba uThixo, ngobuqotho langenhliziyo nye epheleleyo.
10 Herqaysi sheherlerde turidighan qérindashliringlarning aldinglargha élip kelgen barliq erz-dewasi, meyli u xun dewasi bolsun, qanun-emr we höküm-belgilimiler toghrisidiki erz-dewa bolsun, ularning Perwerdigar aldida gunahkar bolup qalmasliqi üchün, shundaqla Perwerdigarning ghezipi öz béshinglargha we qérindashliringlarning béshigha kélip qalmasliqi üchün, ularni haman agahlandurup turunglar; shundaq qilsanglar, gunahkar bolmaysiler.
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 Perwerdigargha teelluq ishlarda silerni bash kahin Amariya bashquridu; padishahqa dair ishlarda, silerni Yehuda jemetining yolbashchisi Ismailning oghli Zebadiya bashquridu; silerning xizmitinglarda turidighan Lawiylar bar. Jasaretlik bolup ishliringlarni qilinglar we Perwerdigar ishni durus qilghuchilar bilen bille bolidu! — dédi.
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.”
