uAbhiya nemfazwe yakhe noYarobheham

1Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesithoba anesibini wokumkani uYarobheham, uAbhiya waba ngukumkani wakwaYuda.

2Waba neminyaka emithathu engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguMikaya, intombi kaUriyeli waseGibheha. Kwabakho imfazwe phakathi kuka-Abhiya noYarobheham.

3uAbhiya wayixhobela imfazwe enempi yamagorha, engamakhulu amane amawaka ahleliweyo;

4Wema uAbhiya ezintabeni zakwaSemarayim, kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, wathi, Phulaphulani, Yarobheham, nani maSirayeli nonke!

5Anazi na ukuba uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, wamnika uDavide ubukumkani bakwaSirayeli ngonaphakade, yena noonyana bakhe, ngomnqophiso wetyuwa?

6Wesuka wema uYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, umkhonzi kaSolomon unyana kaDavide, wagwilika enkosini yakhe.

7Kwandula ke kwahlanganisana kuye amadoda angenabuntu, oonyana bakaBheliyali, abomelezayo nxamnye noRehobhoham unyana kaSolomon, ngoxa uRehobhoham wayeselula yaye enentliziyo ebuthathaka yaye engakwazi ukumelana nabo.

8Ke ngoku nicinga ngokubuchasa ubukumkani bukaYehova, obusezandleni zoonyana bakaDavide; yaba yinkamela, inamathole egolide, awawenzela uYarobheham ukuba abe nguthixo kuyo.

9Asinini na aba bagxothayo ababingeleli bakaYehova, oonyana baka-Aron nabaLevi, naza anibamisela ababingeleli benu ngokwesiko leentlanga zakwamanye amazwe? ukuze nabani na oza kumngcwalisa ngenkunzi yenkomo nangeenkunzi zeegusha ezisixhenxe, abe ngumbingeleli ongenguye uthixo.

10Ke thina, uYehova nguThixo wethu, asimshiyanga; yaye ababingeleli abakhonza uYehova ngoonyana baka-Aron, yaye abaLevi balindele umsebenzi wabo.

11Baqhubeka besenza iminikelo etshiswayo nesiqhumiso kuYehova ntsasa nganye nangokuhlwa ngokuhlwa; nezonka zokubonisa bazibeka etafileni ehlambulukileyo; nesiphatho sezibane segolide, kwanezibane zaso zivutha ukuhlwa ngokuhlwa; Ke nina nimcekisile.

12Kwaye qaphelani, uThixo ngenene unathi kumlawuli wethu, kwaye ababingeleli bakhe baphethe amaxilongo avakalisa ukumbulala ukumkani. Nina nyana bakaSirayeli, musani ukulwa noYehova, uThixo wooyihlo; ngokuba akuyi kuphumelela.

13Ke uYarobheham wathuma abalaleli emva kwabo; bona babengaphambi kwamaYuda, nabalaleli babesemva kwawo.

14Abheka ngasemva amaYuda, abona imfazwe ngaphambili nangasemva, anqula uYehova, ababingeleli bavuthela izigodlo.

15Aduma ke amadoda akwaYuda; ekudumeni kwamadoda akwaYuda, uThixo wamoyisa uYarobheham namaSirayeli onke phambi koAbhiya namaYuda.

16Basaba oonyana bakaSirayeli ebusweni bamaYuda, uThixo wabanikela esandleni sabo.

17uAbhiya nabantu bakhe bababulala ngogonyamelo olukhulu, kangangokuba kwaSirayeli aba ngamakhulu amahlanu amawaka amadoda akhethiweyo.

18Babehleli oonyana bakaSirayeli ngelo xesha, bakhalipha oonyana bakaYuda, ngokuba bayama ngoYehova uThixo wooyise.

19uAbhiya wamsukela uYarobheham, wayithimba imizi yakhe: iBheteli namadlelo ayo, neYesana namadlelo ayo, nakwaEfrayim namadlelo ayo.

20Wayengasenamandla uYarobheham ngemihla ka-Abhiya; uYehova wambetha, wafa.

21Wazomeleza uAbhiya, wazeka abafazi abalishumi elinabane, wazala oonyana abamashumi mabini anababini, neentombi ezilishumi elinantandathu.

22Ingxelo eqhubekayo ka-Abhiya neendlela zakhe namazwi akhe ichazwe kwibali lomprofeti uIdo.
