uYowashe: ukumkani wakwaYuda

1Uthe uAtaliya, unina ka-Akasiya, akubona ukuba unyana wakhe ufile, wesuka wayitshabalalisa yonke indlu yakomkhulu.

2Ke uYoshebha, intombi yokumkani uYoram, udade boAhaziya, wamthabatha uYowashe, unyana ka-Ahaziya, wamba phakathi koonyana bokumkani, ababulawayo; bamfihla yena nomondli wakhe egumbini lika-Ataliya, ukuze angabulawa.

3Wazimela endlwini kaYehova iminyaka emithandathu. Ke uAtaliya wayelawula ihlabathi.

4Ngomnyaka wesixhenxe, uYehoyada wathumela ukuba kubizwe abathetheli-makhulu nabathetheli bentlanganiso yamatyala, nabalindi, wabazisa kuye endlwini kaYehova, wenza umnqophiso nabo, wabazisa endlwini kaYehova wababonisa ubutyebi unyana wokumkani.

5Wabawisela umthetho, esithi, Nize nenze loo nto; nesahlulo sesithathu kuni, ningenayo ngesabatha, soba ngabagcini bendlu yokumkani;

6esinye isahlulo sesithathu soba sesangweni laseShure; esinye isahlulo sesithathu soba sesangweni emva kwabalindi; yigcine ke indlu, ingawi.

7Yaye izahlulo ezibini kuni nonke, eniphumayo ngesabatha, ewe, zoyigcina indlu kaYehova kukumkani.

8Nimphahle ukumkani ngeenxa zonke, elowo ephethe iintonga zakhe ngesandla; owathi ufika emasimini wobulawa; yiba nokumkani ekuphumeni kwakhe nasekungeneni kwakhe.

9Benza ke abathetheli-khulu njengako konke abewise umthetho ngako uYehoyada umbingeleli, bathabatha elowo amadoda akowabo, abemelwe ukungena ngesabatha, nalawo amele ukuphuma ngesabatha, beza kuYehoyada umbingeleli.

10Umbingeleli wawanika amakhulu abathetheli iintshuntshe namakhaka kaDavide ukumkani, abesendlwini kaYehova.

11Bema abalindi, elowo ephethe iintonga zakhe ngesandla, bethabathela kwicala lasekunene lendlu besa kwelasekhohlo lendlu, ngasesibingelelweni nangasendlwini.

12Wamkhupha unyana kakumkani waza wamthwesa isithsaba waza wanikela ubungqina ngaye; bamenza ukumkani, bamthambisa; baza baqhwaba izandla baza bathi: Ngamana uThixo angamsindisa ukumkani!

13Uthe uAtaliya akusiva isandi sezigidimi nesabantu, waya ebantwini endlwini kaYehova.

14Wathi akukhangela, wabona ukumkani emi ngakwilitye lesikhumbuzo ngokwesiko, neenkosana namaxilongo zikunye nokumkani, yaye bonke abantu belizwe babevuya yaye bevuthela amaxilongo; uAtaliya wazikrazula iingubo zakhe, wadanduluka, wathi, Sidengendini!

15Umbingeleli uYehoyada wabawisela umthetho abathetheli-makhulu, abathenda bentendelezo, wathi kubo, Makahambe aphume ezweni, abulale ongasemva kwakhe ngentshuntshe ngokuba ebesithi umbingeleli, Makangabulawelwa endlwini kaYehova.

16Bambamba ke; wahamba ngendlela angena ngayo amahashe endlwini yokumkani, wabulawelwa khona.

17Wandula ke uYehoyada wenza umnqophiso phakathi kukaYehova nokumkani nabantu ukuba babe ngabantu bakaYehova; naphakathi kokumkani nabantu.

18Bonke abantu behlabathi baya endlwini kaBhahali, bayidiliza; izibingelelo zakhe nemifanekiso yakhe bayiqhekeza; bambulala uMatan, umbingeleli kaBhahali, phambi kwezibingelelo. Umbingeleli wamisela abagcini bendlu kaYehova.

19Wathabatha amakhulu abathetheli, nabathetheli, nabagcini, nabantu bonke belizwe; bamhlisa ukumkani, bamsa endlwini kaYehova, bangena ngesango lezigidimi endlwini yokumkani. Wahlala etroneni yookumkani.

20Bavuya bonke abantu belizwe, sazola umzi; bambulalela uAtaliya ngekrele endlwini yokumkani.

21uYowashe ubeminyaka isixhenxe ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe.
