2 Amakhosi 11UJowashi: Inkosi yakwaJuda

1Kwathi u-Athaliya unina ka-Ahasiya ebona ukuthi indodana yakhe ifile, wasuka wachitha yonke indlu yenkosi.

2Kepha uJosheba, indodakazi yenkosi uJoramu, udadewabo ka-Ahaziya, wathatha uJowashi indodana ka-Ahaziya, wameba phakathi kwamadodana enkosi abulawayo; bamfihla, yena nomzanyana wakhe ekamelweni lokulala lika-Athaliya, ukuze angabulawa.

3Wacatsha kuye endlini kaJehova iminyaka eyisithupha. U-Athaliya wasebusa phezu kwelizwe.

4Kwathi ngomnyaka wesikhombisa uJehoyada wathumela walanda izinduna zamakhulu kanye nezinduna nabalindi, wabaletha kuye endlini kaJehova, wenza isivumelwano nazo, wazingenisa endlini kaJehova, wababonisa ithempeli indodana yenkosi.

5Wabayala wathi: “Nansi into eniyakuyenza; Ingxenye yesithathu yenu engena ngesabatha kumelwe futhi ibe ngabalindi bendlu yenkosi;

6Ingxenye yesithathu iyakuba sesangweni laseShuri; nengxenye yesithathu esangweni emva kwabalindi; ngakho kumelwe uqaphe indlu, ukuze ingabhidliki.

7Futhi izingxenye ezimbili zenu nonke eniphuma ngesabatha, yebo, kumelwe zigcine umlindi wendlu kaJehova phezu kwenkosi.

8Kumelwe nizungeze inkosi, yilowo nalowo ephethe izikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe; futhi lowo ongena emasimini makabulawe; futhi ube nenkosi lapho ephuma futhi engena.

9Izinduna zekhulu zenza njengakho konke umpristi uJehoyada ayala ngakho, zathatha, kwaba yilowo nalowo abantu bakhe okwakumelwe bangene ngesabatha, kanye nalabo okwakumelwe baphume ngesabatha, bafika kuJehoyada umpristi.

10Umpristi wanika izinduna zamakhulu imikhonto nezihlangu zenkosi uDavide ezazisethempelini likaJehova.

11Abalindi bema, kwaba yilowo nalowo ephethe izikhali zakhe esandleni sakhe, enkosini nxazonke, kusukela ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu kuze kube sohlangothini lwesokhohlo lwendlu, eceleni kwe-altare nendlu.

12Wayikhipha indodana yenkosi, wayifaka umqhele, wayinika ubufakazi; bambeka inkosi, bamgcoba; futhi bashaya izandla bathi: UNkulunkulu makasindise inkosi!

13Lapho u-Athaliya ezwa umsindo wabalindi nowabantu waya kubantu ethempelini likaJehova.

14Lapho ebuka, bheka, inkosi imi ngasetsheni lesikhumbuzo njengokwesimiso, nezikhulu nabamacilongo kanye nenkosi, nabantu bonke bezwe bajabula bebetha amacilongo; u-Athaliya waklebhula izingubo zakhe, wakhala, wathi: “Ngugobe!

15Kepha uJehoyada umpristi waziyala izinduna zamakhulu, izinceku zempi, wathi kuzo: “Myekeni aphumele ngaphandle kwamasimu, nibulale omlandelayo ngenkemba. Ngokuba umpristi wathi: “Makangabulawelwa endlini kaJehova.”

16Basebembeka izandla; wahamba ngendlela amahhashi angena ngayo endlini yenkosi, wabulawa khona.

17UJehoyada wenza isivumelwano phakathi kukaJehova nenkosi nabantu ukuba babe ngabantu bakaJehova; naphakathi kwenkosi nabantu.

18Bonke abantu bezwe bangena endlini kaBali, bayidiliza; ama-altare akhe nemifanekiso yakhe bakuphahlaza, bambulala uMathani, umpristi kaBali, phambi kwama-altare. Umpristi wayesebeka ababonisi phezu kwendlu kaJehova.

19Wathatha izinduna zamakhulu, nezinduna, nabalindi, nabo bonke abantu bezwe; zayehlisa inkosi endlini kaJehova, zangena ngesango labalindi endlini yenkosi. Wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi samakhosi.

20Bonke abantu bezwe bajabula, umuzi waba nokuthula, bambulala u-Athaliya ngenkemba endlini yenkosi.

21UJowashi wayeneminyaka eyisikhombisa lapho eqala ukubusa.
