IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-11 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Weza uRehabheham eYerusalem, wabizela ndawonye indlu yakwaYuda neyakwaBhenjamin, ikhulu elinamanci asibhozo anesibini amawaka amadoda okulwa, ukuba aye kulwa namaSirayeli, bubuyiselwe ubukumkani kuRehabheham.

2Lafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kuShemaya umfo wakwaThixo, lisithi:

3Thetha kuRehabheham unyana kaSolomon, ukumkani wakwaYuda, nakumaSirayeli onke kwaYuda nakwaBhenjamin, uthi,

4Wathi uYehova, Ize ningenyuki niye kulwa nabazalwana benu; makabuyele elowo endlwini yakhe, ngokuba yenziwe kum le nto. Bawaphulaphula amazwi kaYehova baza babuya edabini nxamnye noYerobhoham.

5Wahlala uRehabheham eYerusalem, wakha imizi enqatyisiweyo kwaYuda.

6Wayakha iBhetelehem, ne-Etam, neTekowa;

7neBhetesera, neSoko, neAdulam;

8neGati, neMaresha, neSife;

9neAdoraim, neLakishe, neAseki;

10iTsoreya, neAyalon, neHebron, imizi enqatyisiweyo kwaYuda nakwaBhenjamin.

11Wazomeleza iinqaba waza wabeka iirhuluneli kuzo noovimba bokutya neoli newayini.

12Kwisixeko ngasinye wabeka amakhaka nemikhonto waza wayenza yomelela ngokugqithiseleyo, yaye uYuda noBhenjamin babesondele kuye.

13Ababingeleli nabaLevi ababekwelakwaSirayeli lonke beza kuye bevela ezindaweni zabo zonke.

14Kuba abaLevi bawashiya amadlelo abo nendyebo yabo baza beza kwaYuda naseYerusalem, ngenxa yokuba uYarobheham noonyana bakhe babebayekisile ekukhonzeni uYehova njengababingeleli.

15Wazenzela ababingeleli beziganga, needemon, namathole eenkomo abewenzile;

16Emva kwabo kuzo zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli beza eYerusalem ababezimisele ukufuna uYehova uTHIXO kaSirayeli, ukuze benze umbingelelo kuYehova uTHIXO wookhokho babo.

17Babuqinisa ubukumkani bukaYuda, bamomeleza uRehobhoham unyana kaSolomon iminyaka emithathu; bahamba emanyathelweni kaDavide noSolomon iminyaka emithathu.

18uRehabheham wazeka uMahalati, intombi kaYerimoti, unyana kaDavide, noAbhihayili, intombi kaEliyabhi, unyana kaYese;

19owamzalela abantwana; iYeyus neSamariya neZahama.

20Emva kwakhe wazeka uMaga, intombi ka-Abhisalom; Nguye ke wamzalela uAbhiya, noAtayi, noSisa, noShelomiti.

21uRehabheham wathanda uMahagi, intombi ka-Abhisalom, ngaphezu kwabafazi bakhe bonke, nezithende zakhe;

22uRehabheham wamisa uAbhiya unyana kaMahaka, intloko, ukuba abe yintloko kubazalwana bakhe, ngokuba ubefuna ukumenza ukumkani.

23Wenza ngengqiqo, wabathi saa bonke oonyana bakhe ezweni lakwaYuda nelakwaBhenjamin, emizini yonke enqatyisiweyo; wabanika ukutya okuninzi. Wafuna abafazi abaninzi.
