U-Amaziya: Inkosi yakwaJuda
1Ngomnyaka wesibili kaJowashi indodana kaJehowahazi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, u-Amasiya indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda, waba yinkosi.
2Wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amabili nesishiyagalolunye eJerusalema; igama likanina lalinguJodani waseJerusalema.
3Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova, kungenjengoDavide uyise; wenza njengakho konke uyise uJowashi ayekwenzile.
4Kepha izindawo eziphakemeyo azisuswanga, kepha abantu babesahlaba ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, bashunqa nomusi.
5Kwathi lapho ubukhosi buqinisiwe esandleni sakhe, wabulala izinceku zakhe ezazibulele inkosi uyise.
6Kepha abantwana bababulali akababulalanga njengokulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho kaMose uJehova ayale ngakho ngokuthi: “Oyise mabangabulawa ngenxa yabantwana, nabantwana bangabulawa.” ukufa koyise; kodwa yilowo nalowo makabulawelwe isono sakhe.
7Wabulala abakwa-Edomi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi esiGodini Sikasawoti, wathumba iSela empini, walibiza ngokuthi iJokiteyeli kuze kube namuhla.
8U-Amasiya wayesethuma izithunywa kuJowashi, indodana kaJehowahazi, indodana kaJehu, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ukuthi: “Woza sibhekane.
9UJowashi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wathumela ku-Amaziya inkosi yakwaJuda, wathi: “Ikhakhasi laseLebanoni lathumela emsedarini oseLebanoni, lathi: “Nika indodakazi yakho indodana yami ibe ngumkami, futhi isihlahla sokhula saseLebanoni sathumela kumsedari oseLebanoni. Isilo sasendle sasendle saseLebanoni sasinyathela ukhula.
10Impela umshayile u-Edomi, inhliziyo yakho ikuphakamisile; hloniphani lokhu, nihlale ekhaya;
11Kodwa u-Amasiya akalalelanga. Ngakho uJowashi inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyuka; yena no-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda babhekana eBeti Shemeshi lakwaJuda.
12UJuda waba lukhuni phambi kuka-Israyeli; babaleka, kwaba yilowo nalowo, waya ematendeni abo.
13UJowashi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli wamthatha u-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda indodana kaJowashi ka-Ahaziya eBeti Shemeshi, weza eJerusalema, wadiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema kusukela eSangweni lakwa-Efrayimi kuze kufike eNtabeni. Isango Legumbi: izingalo ezingamakhulu amane.
14Wathatha lonke igolide nesiliva nazo zonke izitsha ezatholakala endlini kaJehova nengcebo yendlu yenkosi, nezithunjwa, wabuyela eSamariya.
15Ezinye izindaba zikaJowashi akwenzayo, namandla akhe, nokulwa kwakhe no-Amasiya inkosi yakwaJuda, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?
16UJowashi wayeselala koyise, wembelwa eSamariya namakhosi akwa-Israyeli; uJerobowamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
17U-Amasiya indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda, wayesekhona iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu emva kokufa kukaJowashi, indodana kaJehowahazi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli.
18Ezinye izindaba zika-Amasiya azilotshiwe yini encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
19Bamenzela ugobe eJerusalema, wabalekela eLakishi; kodwa bathumela bamlandela eLakishi, bambulalela khona.
20Bamthwala ngamahhashi, wembelwa eJerusalema koyise emzini kaDavide.
21Bonke abantu bakwaJuda bathatha u-Azariya owayeneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, bambeka inkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amaziya.
22Wakha i-Elati, walibuyisela kuJuda, inkosi isilele koyise.
23Ngomnyaka weshumi nanhlanu ka-Amasiya indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwaJuda, uJerobowamu indodana kaJowashi, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wabusa eSamariya, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amane nanye.
24Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, kasukanga ezonweni zonke zikaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati onisa ngazo u-Israyeli.
25Wabuyisela umkhawulo wakwa-Israyeli kusukela ekuyeni eHamati kuze kube seLwandle Lwasethafeni, njengezwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, alikhuluma ngesandla senceku yakhe uJona, indodana ka-Amithayi, umprofethi, kuthiwani ngoGathefer.
26Ngokuba uJehova wabona ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuka-Israyeli kwakumunyu kakhulu;
27UJehova akashongo ukuthi uyakwesula igama lika-Israyeli phansi kwezulu, kepha wabakhulula ngesandla sikaJerobowamu indodana kaJowashi.
28Ezinye izindaba zikaJerobowamu nakho konke akwenzayo, namandla akhe, indlela alwa ngayo, nendlela abuyisela ngayo iDamaseku neHamati elalingelakwaJuda ku-Israyeli, azibhalwanga encwadini yeziKronike lamakhosi akoIsrayeli?
29UJerobowamu wayeselala koyise, amakhosi akwa-Israyeli; uZakariya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
