UManase wenza okungalungile amehlo eNkosi
1UManase wayeneminyaka eyishumi nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu nanhlanu eJerusalema. Igama likanina lalinguHefiziba.
2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengezinengiso zabezizwe uJehova abaxosha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
3Wabuye wakha izindawo eziphakemeyo uHezekiya uyise azichithile; wamisela uBali ama-altare, wenza u-Ashera, njengalokho enzile u-Ahabi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli; lonke ibandla lezulu lakhuleka, lazikhonza.
4Wakha ama-altare endlini kaJehova, uJehova asho ngayo ukuthi: “EJerusalema ngiyakumisa igama lami.”
5Wakhela nalo lonke ibandla lasezulwini ama-altare emagcekeni omabili endlu kaJehova.
6Futhi wadabulisa indodana yakhe emlilweni, futhi wagcina izikhathi futhi esebenzisa imilingo futhi esebenzelana nemimoya yemvelaphi kanye nabathakathi; wenza okubi okuningi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba amcunule.
7Wasemisa isithombe esibaziweyo sesihlahla awenzileyo endlini iNkosi eyakhuluma ngayo kuDavida lakuSolomoni indodana yakhe ukuthi: Kulindlu leJerusalema engiyikhethileyo ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli ngizalikhetha. Misa igama lami kuze kube phakade:
8Kangisayikwenza ukuthi inyawo zakoIsrayeli zisuke elizweni engalinika oyise; kuphela uma benza ngokucophelela njengakho konke engibayale ngakho nanjengomthetho wonke abayala ngawo inceku yami uMose.
9Kepha abalalelanga, kepha uManase wabalinga ukuba benze okubi ngaphezu kwezizwe uJehova azichitha phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.
10UJehova wakhuluma ngezinceku zakhe, abaprofethi, wathi:
11Ngokuba uManase inkosi yakwaJuda wenza lezo zinengiso, wenza okubi ngaphezu kwakho konke ama-Amori akwenza ngaphambi kwakhe, wonisa uJuda ngezithombe zakhe.
12Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela iJerusalema noJuda ububi obungaka ukuba yilowo nalowo oyizwayo abambe izindlebe zakhe.
13Ngiyakwelula intambo yaseSamariya phezu kweJerusalema nentambo yomthofu wokumisa indlu ka-Ahabi; futhi ngiyosula iJerusalema njengoba nje umuntu esula isitsha, futhi esesula futhi esigumbuqela.
14Ngiyakushiya insali yefa lami, ngiyinikele esandleni sezitha zayo; bayakuba yimpango nempango yazo zonke izitha zabo;
15Ngoba benze okubi emehlweni ami, bangiklolodela kusukela osukwini oyise abaphuma ngalo eGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla.
16Ngaphezu kwalokho, uManase wachitha igazi eliningi elingenacala waze wagcwalisa iJerusalema kusukela komunye umkhawulo kuya komunye; ngaphandle kwesono sakhe onisa ngaso uJuda ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.
17Ezinye izindaba zikaManase, nakho konke akwenzayo, nesono sakhe one ngaso, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
18UManase wayeselala koyise, wembelwa ensimini yendlu yakhe, ensimini ka-Uza; u-Amoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
19U-Amoni wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka emibili eJerusalema; Igama likanina lalinguMesulemet, indodakazi kaHarusi, waseJotiba.
20Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengalokho enzile uManase uyise.
21Wahamba ngayo yonke indlela uyise ahamba ngayo, wakhonza izithombe uyise azikhonzayo, wakhuleka kuzo.
22Wamshiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, akahambanga ngendlela kaJehova.
23Izinceku zika-Amoni zamakhela uzungu zayibulala inkosi endlini yayo.
24Abantu bezwe bababulala bonke ababeyenzela inkosi u-Amoni ugobe; abantu bezwe babeka uJosiya indodana yakhe inkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
25Ezinye izindaba zika-Amoni azenzayo angithi zilotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
26Wangcwatshwa ethuneni lakhe ensimini ka-Uza; uJosiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
