Ukuhluthwa kobukumkani kuAtaliya nokuthweswa kukaYowashe kwaYuda

1Ke kaloku uAtaliya, unina ka-Ahaziya, uthe, akubona ukuba unyana wakhe ufile, wesuka wayitshabalalisa yonke imbewu yokumkani. 2Ke uYoshebha, intombi yokumkani uYehoram, udade boAhaziya, wamthabatha uYowashe unyana ka-Ahaziya, wamba phakathi koonyana bokumkani ababulawáyo, wamsa yena nomondli wakhe egumbini lokulala, bamfihla kuAtaliya, ukuba angàbulawa. 3Wayenaye endlwini kaYehova, ezinyeziwe, iminyaka emithandathu. Waye uAtaliya engukumkanikazi kulo ilizwe.

4Ngomnyaka wesixhenxe uYehoyada wathumela, wathabatha abathethelimakhulu basebancinithini nabasezigidimini, wabazìsa kuye endlwini kaYehova. Wabamisela umnqohiso, wabafungisa endlwini kaYehova, wababonisa unyana wokumkani. 5Wabawisela umthetho, wathi, Yiyo le into eniya kuyenza: Isahlulo sesithathu kuni, bangénayo ngesabatha, sogcina isigxina sendlu yokumkani; 6esinye isahlulo sesithathu sibe sesangweni laseSure; esinye isahlulo sesithathu sibe sesangweni emva kwezigidimi; nisigcine isigxina sendlu, nithintele. 7Ke izahlulo ezibini phakathi kwenu nonke, niphumayo ngesabatha, zosigcina isigxina sendlu kaYehova kukumkani; 8nimphahle ukumkani ngeenxa zonke, elowo eneentonga zakhe esandleni sakhe; athi ongene ezintlwini abulawe, nibe nokumkani ekuphumeni kwakhe nasekubuyeni kwakhe.

9Benza ke abathetheli-makhulu ngako konke uYehoyada umbingeleli abewise umthetho ngako. Bathabatha elowo amadoda akhe, angénayo ngesabatha, kunye naphumayo ngesabatha, beza kuYehoyada umbingeleli. 10Umbingeleli wabanika abathetheli-makhulu iintshuntshe namakhaka abe engawokumkani uDavide, abesendlwini kaYehova. 11Zema izigidimi, saeso saba neentonga zaso esandleni saso, zathabathela kwiphiko lasekunene lendlu, zesa kwiphiko lasekhohlo lendlu, ngasesibingelelweni, ngasendlwini, ngeenxa zonke kukumkani. 12Wamkhuphela phandle unyana wokumkani, wamfaka isithsaba wamnika nesingqiniso. Bamenza ukumkani, bamthambisa, babetha izandla, bathi, Makadle ubomi ukumkani!

13Uthe uAtaliya, akusiva isandi sezigidimi nesabantu, waya kubo abantu endlwini kaYehova. 14Wakhangela, nanko ukumkani emi endaweni ephakamileyo ngokwesiko, nabathetheli nabavutheli ngamaxilongo bengakukumkani; abantu bonke belizwe bevuya, bevuthela amaxilongo. Wazikrazula iingubo zakhe uAtaliya, wakhala wathi, Licebo! 15UYehoyada umbingeleli wabawisela umthetho abathetheli-makhulu, abaveleli bempi leyo, wathi kubo, Mkhupheleni phandle phakathi kwezintlu; omlandelayo makabulawe ngekrele. Ngokuba ubesithi umbingeleli, makangabulawelwa endlwini kaYehova. 16Bamkhwelela ngeenxa zombini. Waya endlwini yokumkani ngendlela yokungena kwamahashe, wabulawelwa khona.

17Wawenza uYehoyada umnqophiso phakathi koYehova nokumkani nabantu, ukuba babe ngabantu bakaYehova; naphakathi kokumkani nabantu. 18Baya bonke abantu belizwe endlwini kaBhahali,• bayidiliza; izibingelelo zakhe nemifanekiso yakhe bayiqhekeza kwaphela. Bambulala uMatan, umbingeleli kaBhahali, phambi kwesibingelelo. Umbingeleli wamisa abaveleli endlwini kaYehova. 19Wabathabatha abathethelimakhulu, nabancinithi, nezigidimi, nabantu bonke belizwe, behla nokumkani endlwini kaYehova, baya endlwini yokumkani ngendlela yesango lezigidimi. Wahlala ke etroneni yokumkani. 20Bavuya bonke abantu belizwe; wazola umzi; kuba babembulele uAtaliya ngekrele endlwini yokumkani.

21UYowashe ubeminyaka isixhenxe ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe.
