U-Ahazi: Inkosi yakwaJuda
1Ngomnyaka weshumi nesikhombisa kaPheka indodana kaRemaliya, u-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu, inkosi yakwaJuda, waba yinkosi.
2U-Ahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nesithupha eJerusalema; akenzanga okulungile emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe njengoDavide uyise.
3Kepha wahamba ngendlela yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli, yebo, nendodana yakhe yadabula emlilweni njengezinengiso zezizwe uJehova azixosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
4Wanikela ngomhlatshelo, washunqisa umusi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, nasemagqumeni, naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.
5Khona-ke uResini, inkosi yase-Aramu, noPheka, indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, benyukela eJerusalema ukulwa, bavimbezela u-Ahazi, kodwa babengenakumehlula.
6Ngaleso sikhathi uResini, inkosi yase-Aramu, walibuyisela i-Elati e-Aramu, waxosha abaJuda e-Elati; ama-Aramu afika e-Elati, ahlala khona kuze kube namuhla.
7U-Ahazi wayesethuma izithunywa kuThigilati Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya, wathi: “Ngiyinceku yakho nendodana yakho; khuphuka ungisindise esandleni senkosi yase-Aramu nasesandleni senkosi yakwa-Israyeli evukayo ngokumelene nami.
8U-Ahazi wathatha isiliva negolide okwakutholakala endlini kaJehova nasezingcebeni zendlu yenkosi, wakuthuma njengesipho enkosini yase-Asiriya.
9Inkosi yase-Asiriya yamlalela, ngokuba inkosi yase-Asiriya yakhuphukela eDamaseku, yalithatha, yathumbela abantu bayo eKiri, yambulala uResini.
10Inkosi u-Ahazi yaya eDamaseku ukumhlangabeza uThigilati Phileseri inkosi yase-Asiriya, yabona i-altare eDamaseku; inkosi u-Ahazi yathumela ku-Uriya umpristi isifanekiso se-altare nesifanekiso salo njengokwenziwa kwalo konke.
11U-Uriya umpristi walakha i-altare njengakho konke inkosi u-Ahazi ebikuthumile iseDamaseku; umpristi u-Uriya wakwenza ngokumelene nenkosi u-Ahazi evela eDamaseku.
12Inkosi isifikile ivela eDamaseku, inkosi yalibona i-altare, inkosi yasondela e-altare, yanikela phezu kwalo.
13Wathulula umnikelo wakhe wokushiswa nomnikelo wakhe wempuphu, wathulula umnikelo wakhe wokuphuzwayo, wafafaza igazi leminikelo yakhe yokubonga e-altare.
14Futhi i-altare lethusi elaliphambi kukaJehova walisusa ngaphambi kwendlu phakathi kwe-altare nendlu kaJehova, walibeka ohlangothini olusenyakatho lwe-altare.
15Inkosi u-Ahazi yamyala u-Uriya umpristi, yathi: “Shiselani e-altare elikhulu umnikelo wokushiswa wasekuseni nomnikelo wokudla wakusihlwa, nomnikelo wokushiswa wenkosi, nomnikelo wayo wokudla, kanye nomnikelo wokushiswa wabantu bonke bezwe, nomnikelo wabo wokushiswa wenkosi, nomnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wokushiswa wenkosi, nomnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wokushiswa, nomnikelo wokushiswa wenkosi.” umnikelo wokudla neminikelo yawo yokuphuzwa; ufafaze phezu kwawo lonke igazi lomnikelo wokushiswa, nalo lonke igazi lesisulu; i-altare lethusi liyakuba ngelami ukubona.
16U-Uriya umpristi wenza njengakho konke inkosi u-Ahazi eyale ngakho.
17Inkosi u-Ahazi yanquma imingcele yezinqola zokuwasha, yasusa kuzo umcengezi; wehlisa ulwandle ezifuyweni zethusi ezaziphansi kwalo, walubeka endaweni egandaywe ngamatshe.
18Futhi indawo yokucasha yesabatha abayakha endlini, nomnyango wenkosi ongaphandle, wakufulathela endlini kaJehova enkosini yase-Asiriya.
19Ezinye izindaba zika-Ahazi azenzayo azilotshiwe yini encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
20U-Ahazi wayeselala koyise, wembelwa koyise emzini kaDavide; uHezekiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
