uAmatsiya: ukumkani wakwaYuda

1Ngomnyaka wesibini kaYowashe unyana kaYehowahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, waba ngukumkani uAmatsiya, unyana kaYowashe ukumkani wakwaYuda.

2Ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anesithoba engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguYodan waseYerusalem.

3Wenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova; kodwa kungekhona njengoDavide uyise; Wenza konke awakwenzayo uYowashe uyise.

4Ke zona iindawo eziphakamileyo zonqulo zange zitshitshiswe, kodwa abantu babesabingelela beqhumisela ezigangeni.

5Kwathi, bakuqiniseka ubukumkani esandleni sakhe, wababulala abakhonzi bakhe abambulalayo ukumkani uyise.

6Ke oonyana bababulali akababulalanga, ngoko kubhaliweyo encwadini yomyalelo kaMoses, awawisa umthetho ngawo uYehova, esithi, Aba oyise mabangabulawa ngenxa yoonyana; oonyana mababulawe engabulawanga ukufa kooyise; kodwa elowo uya kubulawa ngesakhe isono.

7Wabulala ishumi lamawaka amaEdom kwiNtlambo yeTyuwa waza wayithimba iSela edabini, wayibiza ngokuba yiYoketeli de kube namhla.

8uAmatsiya wathumela abathunywa kuYowashe, unyana kaYowahazi, unyana kaYehu, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Yiza sijongane.

9uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wathumela kuAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, wathi, iTeshelo yaseLebhanon yathumela kumsedare oseLebhanon, isithi, Unyana wam mnike intombi yakho, ibe ngumkakho.

10Uwoyisile uEdom, yakhukhumala intliziyo yakho; hlonipha oku, kwaye uhlale ekhaya;

11Akaphulaphula uAmatsiya; Wenyuka ke uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; bakhangelana ubuso, yena noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eBhete-shemeshe ezweni lakwaYuda.

12uYuda wavutha ngumsindo kuSirayeli; basaba elowo waya ententeni yakhe.

13uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wamthabatha uAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, unyana kaYowashe, unyana ka-Ahaziya, wamsa eBhete-shemeshe, weza eYerusalem, waludiliza udonga lweYerusalem, wathabathela esangweni lakwaEfrayim, wada wesa eBhete-shemeshe isango likaEfrayim. Isango leKona liziikubhite ezimakhulu mane.

14Wayithabatha yonke igolide nesilivere nezixhobo zonke ezafunyanwayo endlwini kaYehova nasebuncwaneni bendlu kakumkani namabanjwa, wabuyela kwaSamari.

15Ke eminye imicimbi kaYowashe oko wakwenzayo namandla akhe nendlela awalwa ngayo noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, akubhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?

16uYowashe walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kwaSamari kookumkani bakwaSirayeli unyana wakhe uYerobhoham waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.

17uAmatsiya, unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaYuda, wahlala iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu emva kokufa kukaYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.

18Ezinye izinto zika-Amatsiya, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yookumkani bakwaYuda?

19Bamceba eYerusalem, wasabela eLakishe; bathumela emva kwakhe eLakishe, bambulalela khona.

20Bamthwala ngamahashe, wangcwatyelwa eYerusalem kooyise, emzini kaDavide.

21Bonke abantu bakwaYuda bamthabatha uAzariya, owayeneminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu ubudala, bamenza ukumkani esikhundleni sikayise uAmatsiya.

22Nguye owayakhayo iElati, wayibuyisela kwaYuda emva kokulala kokumkani kooyise.

23Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesihlanu ka-Amatsiya unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waba ngukumkani uYarobheham, unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, kwaSamari, iminyaka emashumi mane anamnye.

24Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, akatyeka kuzo zonke izono zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, awawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli.

25Yena walibuyisela ilizwe lakwaSirayeli, ethabathela ngaseHamati, wesa elwandle lwentlango, ngokwelizwi likaYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, awalithethayo ngoYona unyana ka-Amitayi, umprofeti, umkhonzi wakhe kuthekani ngoGathefer.

26Wakubona uYehova ukuba kukrakra kunene kwaSirayeli;

27uYehova akazange athi uya kutshabalalisa igama likaSirayeli phantsi kwamazulu, kodwa wamsindisa ngesandla sikaYerobhoham unyana kaYowashe.

28Amanye amazwi kaYarobheham, nako konke awakwenzayo, nobugorha bakhe, ukulwa kwakhe, nokuyibuyisela kwakhe iDamasko neHamati ezweni lakwaYuda kumaSirayeli, azibhalwanga encwadini yemicimbi kookumkani bakwaSirayeli?

29Walala uYarobheham kooyise, nookumkani bakwaSirayeli; unyana wakhe uZekariya waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.
