uShishaki, ukumkani waseYiputa, uhlasela iYerusalem

1Akubuqinisa uRehabheham ubukumkani, womelela, wawulahla umyalelo kaYehova, namaSirayeli onke kunye naye.

2Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokumkani uRehabheham, wenyuka uShishaki, ukumkani waseYiputa, wayifikela iYerusalem, ngokuba yonile kuYehova;

3ngeenqwelo zokulwa eziliwaka elinamakhulu amabini, namashumi amathandathu amawaka amahashe; yaye abantu abaphuma kunye naye eYiputa babebaninzi; AmaLubhi, amaShukim namaTiyopiya.

4Wazithimba izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo zakwaYuda, wada waya kufika eYerusalem.

5Weza uShemaya umprofeti kuRehabheham, nakubathetheli bakwaYuda ababehlanganisene eYerusalem ngenxa kaShishaki, wathi kubo, uYehova wathi, Nina nindishiyile, nam ndinishiyile, ndanishiya esandleni sam kaShishaki.

6Bazithoba abathetheli bakwaSirayeli nokumkani; bathi, Lilungisa uYehova.

7Akubona uYehova ukuba bazithobile, lafika ilizwi likaYehova kuShemaya, lisithi, Bazithobile; ke ngoko, andiyi kubatshabalalisa, kodwa ndiya kubanika olunye usindiso; yaye umsindo wam awuyi kuthululelwa eYerusalem ngesandla sikaShishaki.

8Baya kuba ngabakhonzi bakhe; ukuze bayazi inkonzo yam nenkonzo yoorhulumente belizwe.

9uShishaki ukumkani waseYiputa wayihlasela iYerusalem waza wabuthabatha ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova nobuncwane bendlu kakumkani; wathabatha yonke into; wawathabatha namakhaka egolide abenziwe nguSolomon.

10Ukumkani uRehabheham wenza amakhaka obhedu endaweni yawo, wawanika abathetheli bezigidimi, ababegcina umnyango wendlu yokumkani.

11Ekungeneni kokumkani endlwini kaYehova, zeza izigidimi, zizithabatha, zazibuyisela egumbini lezigidimi.

12Wathi akuzithoba, umsindo kaYehova wemka kuye, akafuna ukumtshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo; waye uYuda ehambe kakuhle.

13Ukumkani uRehabheham wazenzela amandla eYerusalem, walawula; ngenxa yokuba uRehobhoham wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane ananye ubudala ekuqaliseni kwakhe ukulawula, yaye walawula iminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe eYerusalem, isixeko awasinyulayo uYehova kuzo zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli ukuba asimise igama lakhe apho. Igama lonina belinguNahama umAmon.

14Wenza okubi, ngokuba engayibhekisanga intliziyo yakhe ukumquqela uYehova.

15Ke yona imicimbi kaRehobhoham, eyokuqala neyokugqibela, ayibhalwanga na encwadini yomprofeti uShemaya nalowo wabona imibono uIdo ngokuphathelele izizukulwana? Kwaye kukho iimfazwe phakathi koRehabheham noYarobheham.

16uRehabheham walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa emzini kaDavide; unyana wakhe uAbhiya walawula esikhundleni sakhe.
