IziKronike 2 IziKronike 2-28 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1uAhazi ubeminyaka imashumi mabini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka elishumi elinamithandathu engukumkani eYerusalem kodwa akazange enze okulungileyo emehlweni kaYehova njengoDavide uyise.

2Wahamba ngendlela yookumkani bakwaSirayeli waza waphinda wenzela ooBhahali imifanekiso etyhidiweyo.

3Ngaphezu koko, wanyusa umsi kwintlambo yonyana kaHinom waza wabatshisa oonyana bakhe ngomlilo, ngokwezinto ezicekisekayo zeentlanga ezo uYehova wazigxothayo phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.

4Yaye wenza umbingelelo waza wawunyusa umsi kwiindawo eziphakamileyo nasezindulini naphantsi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.

5uYehova, uThixo wakhe, wamnikela esandleni sokumkani wakwa-Aram; bameyisa, bathimba into eninzi yabathinjwa, babasa eDamasko. Waphinda wanikelwa esandleni sokumkani wakwaSirayeli, wamxabela ngogonyamelo olukhulu.

6uPeka unyana kaRemaliya wabulala kumaYuda ikhulu elinamanci amabini lamawaka ngamini-nye, bonke bengamadoda anobukroti; ngokuba bamcekisile uYehova, uThixo wooyise.

7uSigri, igorha lakwaEfrayim, wabulala uMahaseya unyana wokumkani, noAsrikam umphathi wendlu yakhe, noElikana ongene esikhundleni sikakumkani.

8Oonyana bakaSirayeli bathimba abafazi abangamakhulu amabini amawaka, oonyana neentombi zabazalwana babo, babaphanga amaxhoba amaninzi, bawazisa amaxhoba lawo kwaSamari.

9Ke bekukho umprofeti kaYehova, ogama linguOdedi; Wagqithela kwizintlu ezifike kwaSamari, wathi kubo, Yabonani, ngenxa enokuba uYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, ebenoburhalarhume kumaYuda, wawanikela esandleni senu, niwabulala ngomsindo omkhulu ifikelela esibhakabhakeni.

10Kaloku ke, niza kuhlala phakathi koonyana bakaYuda naseYerusalem, nibe ngamakhoboka namakhobokazana; kodwa akukho namnye phakathi kwenu owonayo kuYehova uThixo wenu?

11Phulaphulani ke ngoku, nize nibahlangule abathinjwa enibathabathileyo kubazalwana benu, ngenxa yokuba uYehova uniqumbele.

12Kwesuka ke kwizikhulu zoonyana bakaEfrayim, uAzariya unyana kaYohanan, noBherekiya unyana kaMeshilemoti, noIshkiya unyana kaShalum, noAmasa unyana kaHadlayi, emfazweni;

13Wathi kubo, Ningabazisi amabanjwa apha; ngokuba, noko sonile kuYehova, uya kuzandisa izono zethu nezikreqo zethu; kuba ukunxaxha kwethu kukhulu yaye kukho umsindo ovuthayo nxamnye noSirayeli.

14Abaxhobileyo babandulula abathinjwa namaxhoba, baye kumabamba nebandla lonke.

15Asuka ke amadoda abizwa ngamagama, ababamba ababanjiweyo, ababambathisa bonke ababehamba ze phakathi kwabo, abanxiba, abanxiba iimbadada, abapha ukuba badle, basele, babathambise, baphilise bonke abaswele amandla idizili, yeza nazo baya kubazalwana babo eYeriko, umzi wamasundu; emva koko babuyela kwaSamari.

16Ngelo xesha uKumkani uAhazi wathumela umyalezo kookumkani baseAsiriya ukuba bamncede.

17Abuya ke amaEdom, amoyisa uYuda, athimba abathinjwa.

18AmaFilisti azixabela izixeko ezisezintabeni nezisemzantsi zakwaYuda aza ayithimba iBhete-shemeshe neAyalon neGederoti neSogo namagxamesi ayo neTimna needolophana zayo neGimzo needolophana zayo kwaye bahlala khona.

19Ngokuba uYehova wawathoba amaYuda ngenxa ka-Ahazi, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; kuba wamphanga uYuda waza wona kakhulu kuYehova.

20Wandula ke uTilegati-pilezere ukumkani waseAsiriya weza kuye waza wamkhwankqisa, kodwa akazange amomeleze.

21Kuba uAhazi wathabatha inxalenye yendlu kaYehova, neyendlu yokumkani, neyobathetheli, wayinika ukumkani waseAsiriya;

22Ekubandezelekeni kwakhe waqhubeka esona ngakumbi kuYehova;

23Wabingelela kwizithixo zaseDamasko ezimeyisileyo, wathi, Izithixo zookumkani bama-Aram ziyanceda, ndobingelela ngazo, zindincede mna. Kwaba yintlekele kuye nakumaSirayeli onke.

24uAhazi waziqokelela zonke izitya zendlu yoTHIXO oyinyaniso waza waziqhekeza iimpahla zendlu yoTHIXO oyinyaniso, wazivala iingcango zendlu kaYehova waza wazenzela izibingelelo kuzo zonke iimbombo zeYerusalem.

25Kwimizi yonke yakwaYuda wenza iziganga zokutshisa thixo bambi; wamqumbisa uYehova uThixo wooyise.

26Ezinye izinto zakhe, neendlela zakhe, ezokuqala nezokugqibela, nanzo zibhaliwe encwadini yookumkani bakwaYuda nabakwaSirayeli.

27Walala uAhazi kooyise, bamngcwabela emzini oyiYerusalem; abamsa emangcwabeni ookumkani bakwaSirayeli; uHezekiya unyana wakhe waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.
