IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-15 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1uMoya kaThixo wamfikela uAzariya, unyana kaOdedi.

2Waphuma, esiya kukhawulela uAsa, wathi kuye, Ndiphulaphuleni, Asa, nani nonke maYuda namaBhenjamin; uYehova unani ekubeni ninaye; ukuba uthe wamfuna, womfumana; ukuba nithe namshiya, wonishiya nani.

3Ke kaloku kwabakho ixesha elide uSirayeli engenaye uThixo wokwenyaniso nombingeleli ofundisayo nomthetho.

4Kwathi, ekubandezelekeni kwawo, abuyela kuYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, amquqela, wafunyanwa phakathi kwawo.

5Ngaloo mihla bekungekho luxolo kwabaphumayo, nakubangenayo; zabafikela izijeziso ezikhulu abemi baloo mazwe.

6Batshatyalaliswa ke abantu, bangabikho phakathi komzi nesixeko, kuba uThixo wayebatshutshisa ngazo zonke iintlekele.

7Yomelelani; mazingawi izandla zenu; ngokuba umsebenzi wenu unomvuzo.

8Wathi uAsa akuweva la mazwi nezihlabo zikaOdedi umprofeti, womelela, wazisusa imifanekiso enezothe ezweni lonke lakwaYuda nelakwaBhenjamin, nemizi awazithimbayo kweleentaba lakwaEfrayim, wazihlaziya, wasisusa isibingelelo kaYehova ephambi kwevaranda kaYehova.

9Wawahlanganisa onke amaYuda namaBhenjamin nabasemzini ababekuwo, bakwaEfrayim, nabakwaManase, nabakwaSimon; ngenxa yokuba baxabela kuye bebaninzi kwaSirayeli, bakubona ukuba uYehova uThixo wakhe wayenaye.

10Bahlanganisana eYerusalem ngenyanga yesithathu ngomnyaka weshumi elinesihlanu wobukumkani buka-Asa.

11Babingelela kuYehova ngelo xesha lokuphanga, iinkomo ezingamakhulu asixhenxe namawaka asixhenxe empahla emfutshane.

12Benza umnqophiso wokumquqela uYehova, uThixo wooyise, ngentliziyo yabo yonke, nangomphefumlo wabo wonke;

13ukuze wonk’ ubani ongamfuniyo uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, abulawe, kuthabathele komncinane kuse kwixhego, kuthabathele kwindoda kuse kwinkazana.

14Bafunga kuYehova ngezwi elikhulu, nangentswahla, nangamaxilongo, nangamaxilongo.

15Asivuyela onke amaYuda isifungo eso; ngokuba afunga ngentliziyo yawo yonke, omelela ngokomnqweno wawo wonke; yaye wabonwa kubo, waza uYehova wabanika ukuphumla macala onke.

16Kananjalo uMaga, unina wokumkani uAsa, wamsusa ebukumkanini, ngokuba wenze umfanekiso oqingqiweyo ehlathini;

17Ke iziganga azisuswanga kwaSirayeli; kodwa yona intliziyo ka-Asa yayigqibelele yonke imihla yakhe.

18Wazizisa endlwini kaThixo izinto uyise awayezingcwalisile, awayezingcwalisile: isilivere negolide nempahla.

19Akwaba sabakho mfazwe, kwada kwaba ngumnyaka wamashumi amathathu anesihlanu wobukumkani buka-Asa.
