IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-10 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1uRehabheham waya kwaShekem; ngokuba amaSirayeli onke abeye kumenza ukumkani kwaShekem.

2Weva uYarobheham, unyana kaNebhati, eYiputa, apho wayebalekele khona ngenxa kaSolomon ukumkani, wabuya uYarobheham eYiputa;

3Bathumela ngoko ukuba kumbizwe. Weza uYarobheham namaSirayeli onke, bathetha kuRehabheham, bathi,

4Uyihlo wasithwalela idyokhwe enzima; ke wena yenze lula inkonzo enzima kayihlo, nedyokhwe yakhe enzima ayibeke phezu kwethu, sikukhonze.

5Wathi kubo, Yizani kum emveni kweentsuku ezintathu; Kwaye abantu bayahamba.

6Ukumkani uRehabheham wacebisana namadoda amakhulu, abemi ngakuSolomon uyise oko ebesahleli, wathi, Ninika cebo lini na kum, ukuba ndithe ndabaphendula aba bantu?

7Athetha ke kuye, athi, Ukuba uthe wabenzela okulungileyo aba bantu, wabavuyisa, wathetha amazwi amahle kubo, boba ngabakhonzi bakho kude kuse ephakadeni.

8Kodwa walishiya icebiso awayelinikwe ngamadoda amakhulu, wacebisana namadodana aziintanga zakhe, awayemi ngakuye.

9Wathi kuwo, Ninika cebo lini na kuthi, ukuze sibaguqule aba bantu bathethe kum, besithi, Yisuse idyokhwe awayibeka phezu kwethu uyihlo?

10Athetha ke kuye amadodana aziintanga zakhe, esithi, Baphendule abantu abathethe kuwe, besithi, Uyihlo wayithwala idyokhwe yethu enzima, usinciphise kancinane; wothi kubo, Ucikicane wam uya kuba mkhulu kunesinqe sikabawo.

11Kuba, ukuba ubawo unithwalise idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kongeza edyokhweni yenu;

12Baya ke ooYarobheham nabantu bonke kuRehabheham ngomhla wesithathu, njengoko wayewise umthetho ngako ukumkani, wathi, Noweza kum ngomhla wesithathu;

13uYehova wabaphendula kalukhuni; ukumkani uRehabheham walinikela umva ibhunga lamadoda amakhulu;

14Wathetha kubo ngokwecebo lamadodana, esithi, Ubawo wanithwalisa idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kongeza kuyo;

15Kungenxa yoko le nto ukumkani engabaphulaphulanga abantu, ngenxa yokuba lo mbandela wawungokaThixo, ukuze uYehova alizalise ilizwi awayelithethile ngoAhiya uMoshilo kuYerobhoham unyana kaNebhati.

16Akubona ke onke amaSirayeli ukuba ukumkani akawaphulaphuli, abantu bambuyisela ukumkani ilizwi elithi, Sinasabelo sini na kuDavide? Asinalifa kunyana kaYese; Kaloku ke, Davide, gcina indlu yakho. Aya ezintenteni zawo onke amaSirayeli.

17Ke oonyana bakaSirayeli, ababehleli emizini yakwaYuda, uRehabheham wabalawula.

18Ukumkani uRehabheham uthuma uHadoram, umbuthi werhafu; Bamgibisela ngamatye oonyana bakaSirayeli, wafa. Ukumkani uRehabheham wakhawuleza, wamkhwelisa enqwelweni yakhe, wasabela eYerusalem.

19Akreqa ke amaSirayeli kwindlu kaDavide, unanamhla.
