1uAmatsiya ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anesibhozo yedwa eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguYodan waseYerusalem.
2Wenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova, kodwa kungekhona ngentliziyo epheleleyo.
3Bakuba buqinile ubukumkani kuye, wababulala abakhonzi bakhe abambulalayo ukumkani uyise.
4Akababulalanga oonyana babo; wenza njengoko kubhaliweyo emyalelweni, encwadini kaMoses, apho uYehova wawisa umthetho, esithi, Aba yise mabangafe ngenxa yabantwana babo, mabangafe oonyana ngenxa yoonyana babo kodwa elowo uya kufa ngesakhe isono.
5Ngaphezu koko, uAmatsiya wawahlanganisa ndawonye amaYuda waza wawamisela ukuba abe ngabaphathi bamawaka neentloko zamakhulu ngokwezindlu zooyise kulo lonke elakwaYuda nelakwaBhenjamin; amadoda, ekwazi ukuya emfazweni, enokuphatha umkhonto nekhaka.
6Waqesha kumaSirayeli ikhulu lamawaka amagorha ngekhulu leetalente zesilivere.
7Wafika umfo wakwaThixo kuye, wathi, Camagu, kumkani, musa ukuyivumela imikhosi yakwaSirayeli ihambe nawe; ngenxa yokuba uYehova akakho kuSirayeli, oko kukuthi kubo bonke oonyana bakaEfrayim.
8Ke ukuba ùthanda ukuya, yiya yomelela edabini; uThixo woniwisa phambi kotshaba; ngokuba uThixo unamandla okunceda nawokubhukuqa.
9Wandula ke uAmatsiya wathi kumfo wakwaThixo oyinyaniso: “Kodwa siya kuthini na ngekhulu leetalente endalinika umkhosi wakwaSirayeli? Waphendula umfo wakwaThixo, wathi, uYehova unako ukukunika okungaphezu koko.
10uAmatsiya ke wayahlula impi leyo yayize kuye, ivela kwaEfrayim, ukuba ibuyele endaweni yayo; Bavutha ke umsindo wabo kwaYuda, baza babuyela ekhaya bevutha ngumsindo.
11Yaye uAmatsiya wamomeleza waza wabakhokela abantu bakhe waphuma waya kwiNtlambo yeTyuwa waza wabulala ishumi lamawaka koonyana bakaSehire.
12Amanye alishumi lamawaka awayesaphila, oonyana bakaYuda bathatyathelwa ekuthinjweni baza basiwa emqhokrweni wengxondorha baza babaphosa phantsi emqhokrweni wengxondorha, kangangokuba baqhekeka bonke.
13Ke amagorha awawabuyisayo uAmatsiya ukuba angayi naye ekulweni, ayingenela imizi yakwaYuda, ethabathela kwaSamari, esa eBhete-horon, abulala kuyo amawaka amathathu, ayithimba iqashiso.
14Xa uAmatsiya wabuyayo ekuxabeleni amaEdom, wazisa oothixo boonyana bakaSehire waza wabamisa baba ngoothixo bakhe waza waqubuda phambi kwabo waza wawunyusa umsi.
15Wavutha ke umsindo kaYehova uAmatsiya, wathumela umprofeti kuye, wathi kuye, Ubuphi na oothixo babantu abangabahlangulanga abantu babo esandleni sakho?
16Esathetha naye, ukumkani wathi kuye, Ùphuma kukumkani na ngecebo? ibhere; yini na ukuba ubethwe? Wema lo mprofeti wathi: “Ndiyazi ukuba uThixo uzimisele ukukutshabalalisa, ngenxa yokuba ukwenzile oku, akwaliphulaphula icebiso lam.
17uAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda wacebisa, wathumela kuYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, unyana kaYehu, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Yiza sibonane sikhangelane ubuso.
18uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wathumela kuAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, wathi, uTeshelo waseLebhanon wathumela eKedare waseLebhanon, wathi, Unyana wam mnike intombi yakho, abe ngumkakho; Yadlula irhamncwa laseLebhanon, wayinyathela emeveni.
19Uthi, Yabona, uwoyisile amaEdom; nentliziyo yakho iphakamele eluzukweni; hlala ekhaya ngoku; Yini na ukuba ude ungene ebubini bakho, wena namaYuda kunye nawe?
20Akavuma ke uAmasiya ukuva; ngokuba kwakuphuma kuThixo ukubanikela esandleni seentshaba zabo, kuba babefuna oothixo bakwaEtom.
21Wenyuka ke uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; babonana ubuso ngobuso, yena noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eBhete-shemeshe yakwaYuda.
22AmaYuda aqalisa ukuba nomsindo nxamnye namaSirayeli, yaye ngamnye wasaba waya ententeni yakhe.
23uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wamthabatha uAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, unyana kaYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, eBhete-shemeshe, wamzisa eYerusalem, waluqhekeza udonga lweYerusalem, esangweni lakwaEfrayim. Isango lembombo liziikubhite ezimakhulu mane.
24Wayithabatha yonke igolide nesilivere nezixhobo zonke ezafunyanwayo endlwini yoTHIXO oyinyaniso kuObhedi-edom nobuncwane bendlu kakumkani namabanjwa, waza wabuyela kwaSamari.
25uAmatsiya, unyana kaYowashe, ukumkani wakwaYuda, wahlala iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu emva kokufa kukaYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
26Ezinye izinto zika-Amatsiya, ezokuqala nezokugqibela, azibhalwanga na encwadini yookumkani bakwaYuda nabakwaSirayeli?
27Ke kaloku, emveni kwexesha awatyeka ngalo uAmatsiya kuYehova, bamceba eYerusalem; wabalekela eLagishe, bathumela eLagishe, bambulalela khona.
28Bamthwala ngamahashe, bamngcwabela nooyise emzini wakwaYuda.
