IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-14 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1uAbhiya walala noyise, wangcwatyelwa emzini kaDavide; unyana wakhe uAsa waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe. Ngemihla yakhe ilizwe lazola iminyaka elishumi.

2uAsa wenza okulungileyo nokuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova uThixo wakhe.

3Wazisusa izibingelelo zabanye oothixo neendawo eziphakamileyo, wayidiliza imifanekiso eqingqiweyo waza wagawula namatyholo.

4AmaYuda awayalela ukuba afune uYehova, uThixo wooyise, aze azalisekise umthetho nemiyalelo.

5Kwakhona wazisusa iindawo eziphakamileyo nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo kuzo zonke izixeko zakwaYuda, baza ke ubukumkani bazola phambi kwakhe.

6Wazakha izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo kwaYuda, ngenxa yokuba ilizwe lalizolile, yaye kwakungekho mfazwe ngaloo minyaka; ngokuba uYehova wayemphumzile.

7Wathi ke kumaYuda, Masiyakhe le mizi, senze iindonga ngeenxa zonke kuyo, sibe neenqaba ezinde, sibe namasango, namasango, libe phambi kwethu ilizwe; ngokuba samquqela uYehova uThixo wethu, samquqela kuye, wasiphumza ngeenxa zonke. Bakha ke baba nempumelelo.

8uAsa wayenomkhosi wamajoni axhobileyo nezikhali, amakhulu amathathu amawaka avela kwaYuda; kwisizwe sakwaBhenjamin, abaphatha iingweletshetshe, batyeda izaphetha, babengamakhulu amabini, anamanci asithoba anamabini amawaka; bonke babengamagorha akhaliphileyo.

9Waphuma uSeraki wakwaKushe waya kubo, enempi engamawaka amathathu eenqwelo zokulwa; waya eMarésa.

10uAsa waya kumhlangabeza, balwa entlanjeni yaseSefata eMaresha.

11uAsa wabiza kuYehova uThixo wakhe, wathi, Yehova, aniyi kubanceda abaninzi nabasweleyo; sincede, Yehova, Thixo wethu! ngokuba sikholose ngawe, sihlasela esi sihlwele ngegama lakho. Yehova, unguThixo wethu; ungaphoswa mntu.

12Ngoko uYehova wawabulala amaKushe phambi kuka-Asa naphambi koYuda; asaba amaKushi.

13uAsa namadoda abenaye bawasukela, bada besa eGerare; ngokuba aqotywa phambi koYehova, naphambi kweentshaba zakhe; baphanga into eninzi yamaxhoba.

14Bayingqinga yonke imizi ngeenxa zonke eGerare; ngokuba bafikelwa kukunkwantya kukaYehova, bayithimba yonke imizi; ngokuba amaxhoba ebemaninzi kubo.

15Bahlala ezintenteni zeenkomo, bathimba impahla emfutshane, neenkamela, zininzi, baza babuyela eYerusalem.
