1UJosiya wayigcinela iNkosi iPhasika eJerusalema; bahlaba iwundlu lePhasika ngosuku lwetshumi lane lwenyanga yokuqala.
2Wabeka abapristi emsebenzini wabo, wabakhuthaza enkonzweni yethempeli.
3Wathi kumaLevi ayebafundisa bonke abakoIsrayeli ayengcwele eNkosini: Fakani umtshokotsho wesivumelwano endlini uSolomoni indodana kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli ayakhayo; kakusadingeki ukuba liwuthwale ngamahlombe enu. Khonzani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu lisebenzele labantu bayo uIsrayeli.
4Lizilungise lina ngezindlu zenu langezigaba zenu, lenze njengokulotshiweyo nguDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli languSolomoni indodana yakhe.
16Yasilungiswa yonke inkonzo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu ngalolosuku ukuba kugcinwe iPhasika lokuba kunikelwe iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwealtare leNkosi, njengokutsho kwenkosi uJosiya.
17Abantu bakoIsrayeli ababekhona baligcina iPhasika ngalesosikhathi, benza kanye lomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo insuku eziyisikhombisa.Eks 12:1–20
18Kaligcinwanga iPhasika elinjengaleli koIsrayeli kusukela ensukwini zikaSamuweli umprofethi; wonke amakhosi akoIsrayeli kawazanga aligcine iPhasika elinjengaleli elagcinwa nguJosiya, labapristi lamaLevi, labo bonke abakoJuda labakoIsrayeli ababekhona, labaseJerusalema.
19Ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili wokubusa kukaJosiya iPhasika leli lagcinwa.
Ukufa kukaJosiya20Ngemva kwakho konke lokho, uJosiya eselilungisile ithempeli, uNeko inkosi yaseGibithe waphuma ukuyahlasela eKarikemeshi ngasemfuleni iYufrathi; loJosiya waphuma ukuyakulwa laye.
21Kodwa uNeko wathuma izithunywa kuye esithi: Kambe sibangani mina lawe, nkosi yakoJuda na? Kangizanga ukulwa lawe lamhla, kodwa ngizekulwa lalowo engilwa laye. UNkulunkulu ungilayile ukuba ngiphangise; akukhawule ukuphikisana loNkulunkulu, ngoba yena ungakimi, funa akubhubhise.
22Kodwake uJosiya kayekelanga, wazifihla ukuba alwe laye; kawalalelanga amazwi kaNeko awakhuluma ethunywa nguNkulunkulu, wangena ekulweni emagcekeni aseMegido.
23Abatshoki bemitshoko bamciba uJosiya; wasesithi encekwini zakhe: Ngisusani ngoba ngilimele kubi.
24Inceku zakhe zasezimehlisa enqoleni yokulwa, zamthwala ngenye, zamusa eJerusalema. Wafa, wangcwatshelwa emalibeni abokhokho bakhe; bonke abakoJuda labaseJerusalema bamlilela.
25LoJeremiya laye watsho isililo ngoJosiya. Abahlabelelayo bonke abesilisa labesifazana sebehaye ngoJosiya ezililweni zabo kuze kube lamhla. Lezizililo sezingumkhuba koIsrayeli; zilotshiwe encwadini yezililo.
26Ezinye indaba zikaJosiya lezenzo zakhe ezinhle ezivumelana lokulotshiweyo emlayweni weNkosi,
27izenzo zakhe, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, zilotshiwe ogwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda.
