uAhabhi uyalunyukiswa
1Bahlala iminyaka emithathu, kungekho mfazwe phakathi kwama-Aram namaSirayeli. 2Ngomnyaka wesithathu uYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, wehla waya kukumkani wakwaSirayeli. 3Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kubakhonzi bakhe, Niyazi na ukuba iRamoti yaseGiliyadi yeyethu, ukuba sithe cwaka nje, singayihluthi esandleni sokumkani wakwa-Aram? 4Wathi kuYehoshafati, Wohamba na nam, siye eRamoti yaseGiliyadi? Wathi uYehoshafati kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Ndinjengawe; abantu bam banjengabantu bakho, namahashe am anjengamahashe akho. 5Wathi uYehoshafati kukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Cela ilizwi likaYehova namhla. 6Wababiza ukumkani wakwaSirayeli abaprofeti, bekumakhulu amane amadoda, wathi kubo, Ndiye kulwa na neRamoti yaseGiliyadi, ndiyikhulule, kusini na? Athi, Nyuka; ngokuba uYehova uya kuyinikela esandleni sokumkani. 7Wathi uYehoshafati, Akukho mprofeti kaYehova na apha? 8Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kuYehoshafati, Kusekho enye indoda, enguMika, unyana kaImla, esingabuza ngayo kuYehova; ke mna ndimthiyile; ngokuba ayiprofeti okulungileyo ngam, nokuba ayiyimbi. Wathi uYehoshafati, Makangatsho uYehova. 9Waza ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wabiza umphathiswa, wathi, Khawuleza uze apha uMika unyana kaImla. 10Ukumkani wakwaSirayeli noYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, behleli elowo etroneni yakhe, benxibe iingubo zabo elubala, ekungeneni kwesango lakwaSamari; yaye bonke abaprofeti babeprofeta phambi kwabo. 11uZedekiya, unyana kaKenan, wazenzela iimpondo zesinyithi, wathi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ngezi mpondo uya kuwahlaba ama-Aram, uwatshabalalise. 12Bonke abaprofeti benjenjalo ukuprofeta, besithi, Nyuka uye eRamoti yaseGiliyadi, ube nempumelelo; ngokuba uYehova uya kuyinikela esandleni sokumkani. 13Umthunywa obembizile uMika wathetha kuye, wathi, Yabona, amazwi abaprofeti athetha kakuhle ngamlomo mnye kukumkani; ilizwi lakho malibe njengelizwi labo, uthethe okulungileyo. 14Wathi uMika, Ehleli nje uYehova, oko uYehova aya kukuthetha kum, ndiya kukuxela. 15Wandula ke waya kukumkani. Wathi uYehova kuye, Mika, siye na siye kulwa neRamoti yaseGiliyadi, siyishiye, kusini na? Wathi kuye, Hamba uphumelele, ngokuba uYehova uya kuyinikela esandleni sokumkani. 16Wathi ukumkani kuye, Makube zizihlandlo ezingaphi na ndikufungela, ukuba akuyi kundixelela nto yimbi, ingeyiyo nyaniso egameni likaYehova? 17Wathi, Ndibone amaSirayeli onke elusali ezintabeni, njengeegusha ezingenamalusi; Wathi uYehova, Abanankosi; mababuyele elowo endlwini yakhe ngoxolo. 18Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kuYehoshafati, Bendingatshongo na kuwe ukuthi, akayi kuprofeta okulungileyo ngenxa yam, woprofeta okubi? 19Wathi, Khanive ilizwi likaYehova: Ndimbonile uYehova ehleli etroneni yakhe, umi wonke umkhosi wasemazulwini phambi kwakhe, ngasekunene kwakhe nangasekhohlo kwakhe. 20Waza uYehova wathi: “Ngubani na oya kukhokelela uAhabhi enyuka aze abulawelwe eRamoti yaseGiliyadi? Watsho omnye leya, nomnye wathi. 21Kwaphuma omnye umoya, wema phambi koYehova, wathi, Ndomlukuhla mna. 22Wathi uYehova kuye, Ngani na? Wathi yena, Ndoya ndibe ngumoya wobuxoki emlonyeni wabaprofeti bakhe bonke. Wathi ke yena, Uze umeyise, uloyise kananjalo; phuma uyekwenza. 23Uyabona ke, uYehova ungenise umoya wobuxoki emlonyeni wabo baprofeti bakho bonke; uYehova uthethe okubi ngawe. 24Wesuka uZedekiya, unyana kaKanan, wafika wambetha uMika esidleleni, wathi, Ugqithe ngayiphi na indlela kum uMoya kaYehova, ukuba aye kuthetha kuwe? 25Wathi uMika, Yabona, woyibona loo mini, ukuba uthe wangena egumbini, wazimela. 26Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, Mthabathe uMika, umse kuAmon umphathi womzi, nakuYowashe unyana wokumkani; 27Wathi ukumkani, Yifakeni entolongweni le ndoda, niyinike isonka sokubandezeleka namanzi okubandezeleka, ndide ndibuye ndinoxolo. 28Wathi uMika, Ukuba uthe wabuya unoxolo, woba uYehova akathethanga ngam. Wandula ke wathi: Phulaphulani, nonke ngabanye! 29Wenyuka ukumkani wakwaSirayeli noYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, baya eRamoti yaseGiliyadi. 30Wathi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli kuYehoshafati, Ndiya kuzenza mntu wumbi, ndingene ekulweni; kodwa nxibani iimpahla zenu. Wazenza mntu wumbi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wangena ekulweni. 31Ukumkani wakwa-Aram wabawisela umthetho abathetheli beenqwelo zakhe zokulwa ezimashumi mathathu anababini, wathi, Ize ningalwi nomfana nomkhulu; ize ningalwi nokumkani wakwaSirayeli; 32Bambona uYehoshafati abathetheli beenqwelo zokulwa, bathi, Nanku ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; Bajika ke, beza kulwa naye, uYehoshafati wamcel’ umngeni. 33Babona abathetheli beenqwelo zokulwa ukuba akanguye ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, bajika, bamsukela; 34Indoda ethile yatola isaphetha, yasinda, yambulala ukumkani wakwaSirayeli ekuhlanganeni kotolo kuba ndonzakele. 35Ukulwa kwenyuka loo mini, ukumkani wahlala enqwelweni yakhe emelene nama-Aram, wafa ngokuhlwa; 36Lakutshona ilanga, kwavakala isikhalo phakathi komkhosi wonke, sisithi, Elowo makaye emzini wakowabo, elowo aye ezweni lakowabo. 37Wafa ke ukumkani, waziswa kwaSamari; bamngcwabela ukumkani kwaSamari. 38Bayihlamba inqwelo edikeni lakwaSamari; zalixhapha izinja igazi lakhe; bazihlamba izixhobo zakhe; ngokwelizwi likaYehova awalithethayo. 39Ezinye izinto zika-Ahabhi, nako konke awakwenzayo, nendlu awayakhayo ngeempondo zeendlovu, nemizi yonke awayakhayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli? 40Walala uAhabhi kuyise; unyana wakhe uAhaziya waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe. 41uYehoshafati, unyana ka-Asa, waba ngukumkani kwaYuda ngomnyaka wesine ka-Ahabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli. 42uYehoshafati ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anamihlanu engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguAsubha, intombi kaSilehi. 43Wahamba ngeendlela zonke zika-Asa uyise; makangaphambuki ekwenzeni okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova; ke iziganga azisuswanga; kuba abantu babesabingelela kwiindawo eziphakamileyo yaye beqhumisa. 44uYehoshafati wenza uxolo nokumkani wakwaSirayeli; 45Ezinye izinto zikaYehoshafati, nobugorha bakhe awawenzayo, nokulwa kwakhe, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda? 46Ke amasalela aseSodom, awasalayo ngemihla kayise uAsa, wawagxotha ezweni. 47Bekungekho kumkani kwaEdom ngelo xesha; ibamba libe ngukumkani. 48uYehoshafati wakha iinqanawa ezisuka eTarshishe ukuya kwaOfire, ukuba ziqokelele igolide; ke abemka; ngokuba iinqanawa zaphuka e-Esionngeber. 49Wathi uAhaziya, unyana ka-Ahabhi, kuYehoshafati, Abakhonzi bam mabahambe nabakhonzi bakho ngeenqanawa. Akavuma uYehoshafati. 50uYehoshafati walala kooyise, wangcwatyelwa kooyise emzini kaDavide uyise; unyana wakhe uYehoram waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe. 51uAhaziya, unyana ka-Ahabhi, waba ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli eSamariya ngomnyaka weshumi elinesixhenxe kaYehoshafati ukumkani wakwaYuda, waba ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli iminyaka emibini. 52Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, wahamba ngeendlela zikayise, nangeendlela zikanina, nangeendlela zikaYarobheham unyana kaNebhati, obekhokele kwaSirayeli; 53Ngenxa yokuba wakhonza uBhahali waza waqubuda kuye waza wamdelela uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli kanye njengoko wenzayo uyise.
