IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-17 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1uYehoshafati, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, wamomeleza ukuba alwe namaSirayeli.

2Wamisa umkhosi kuzo zonke izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo zakwaYuda waza wamisa imikhosi yamajoni kwilizwe lakwaYuda nakwizixeko zakwaEfrayim ezo uAsa uyise awazithimbayo.

3uYehova waba noYehoshafati; ngokuba wahamba ngeendlela zokuqala zikaDavide uyise, akabaquqela ooBhahali;

4wamquqela uYehova, uThixo kayise, wahamba ngokwemithetho yakhe, kungekhona ngokwezenzo zamaSirayeli.

5uYehova wabuqinisa ubukumkani esandleni sakhe; yaye onke amaYuda azisa izipho kuYehoshafati; wazuza ilifa ubutyebi nozuko ngokuyintabalala.

6Yagcoba intliziyo yakhe ngeendlela zikaYehova, wazisusa iziganga, nemithi engcwele kwaYuda;

7Kwakhona, ngonyaka wesithathu wolawulo lwakhe, wathumela kwiinkosana zakhe, uBhen-hayili, uObhadiya, uZekariya, uNataniyeli noMikaya, ukuba baye kufundisa kwizixeko zakwaYuda.

8Wabathumela kunye nabo abaLevi, ooShemaya, noNetaniya, noZebhadiya, noAsaheli, noShemiramoti, noYonatan, noAdoniya, noTobhiya, noTobhadoniya, abaLevi; kunye noElishama noYoram, ababingeleli.

9Baqalisa ukufundisa kwilizwe lakwaYuda yaye benencwadi yomthetho kaYehova yaye bazijikeleza zonke izixeko zakwaYuda baza bafundisa abantu.

10Ukoyikwa kukaYehova kwazifikela zonke izikumkani zamazwe ajikeleze uYuda, ukuba zingalwi noYehoshafati.

11AmaFilisti athile azisa izipho kuYehoshafati nemali yerhafu; Ama-Arabhu amzisela imfuyo, amawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eenkunzi zeegusha, namawaka asixhenxe anamakhulu asixhenxe eebhokhwe.

12uYoshafati waba mkhulu kunene; wakha iinqaba nezixeko ezingoovimba kwilizwe lakwaYuda.

13Wayenemicimbi emininzi kwizixeko zakwaYuda, yaye kwakukho amadoda okulwa namagorha anamandla eYerusalem.

14Lilo eli inani labo ngokwezindlu zooyise: kwaYuda njengabathetheli kwiwaka; uAdna, inkokeli, wayenamadoda okulwa angamakhulu amathathu amawaka.

15Olandelayo ibinguYohanan, intloko; ibingamakhulu amabini anamanci asibhozo amawaka.

16Ngakuye nguAmatsiya unyana kaSigri, owazinikela ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo ukuze akhonze uYehova; unamagorha angamakhulu amabini amawaka.

17NoBhenjamin; uElijada, igorha elinamandla, enamadoda axhobe isaphetha namakhaka angamakhulu amabini amawaka;

18ngakuye nguYozabhadi, enekhulu elinamanci asibhozo amawaka, axhobele imfazwe.

19Babekhonza ukumkani, ngaphandle kwabo ukumkani wayebabeke kwizixeko ezinqatyisiweyo kulo lonke elakwaYuda.
