Ekupheleni kobukumkani bukaYehoshafati
1Emveni koko oonyana bakaMowabhi, noonyana baka-Amon, nabanye kunye nabo, ngaphandle koonyana baka-Amon, bamxabela uYehoshafati. 2Beza ke abanye, bamxelela uYehoshafati, bathi, Uhlaselwa sisihlwele esikhulu, sivela phesheya kolwandle lwama-Aram; bona, abantu baseHadazon-tamare, oko kukuthi i-Engedi. 3Woyika uYehoshafati waza wamkhangela uYehova, waza wavakalisa usuku lokuzila ukutya kulo lonke elakwaYuda. 4Wahlanganisana ke amaYuda, efuna uncedo kuYehova; nasemizini yonke yakwaYuda beza kumquqela uYehova. 5Wema uYehoshafati ebandleni lakwaYuda nelaseYerusalem, endlwini kaYehova, entendelezweni entsha; 6Wathi, Yehova, Thixo woobawo, asinguwe na onguThixo emazulwini? Asinguwe na olawula zonke izikumkani zeentlanga? Akukho mandla namandla esandleni sakho, akukho bani unokukuchasa? 7Asinguwe na uThixo wethu, owabagxothayo abemi beli lizwe phambi kwabantu bakho amaSirayeli waza walinika intsapho ka-Abraham umhlobo wakho ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo? 8Bahlala kulo, balakhela igama lakho ingcwele, besithi: 9Ukuba sithe sahlelwa sisihelegu esinjengekrele, nesigwebo, nokuba kukufa, ngendyikitya yokufa, nangendlala, sema phambi kwale ndlu naphambi kobuso bakho, (ngokuba likule ndlu igama lakho), ubize usiva ubunzima; wova, sincede. 10Kaloku ke naba oonyana baka-Amon, namaMowabhi, neentaba zakwaSehire, owawungathandi ukuba babaxabele oonyana bakaSirayeli ekuphumeni kwabo ezweni laseYiputa, wabanikela umva, akwabatshabalalisa bona; 11Yabona, ndithi, baya kusibuyekeza ngokuza kusigxotha ebuncwaneni bakho osinikileyo, ukuba sibe lilifa. 12Thixo wethu, akufuni ukubagweba na? kuba asinamandla okumelana nendimbane enkulu esiza nxamnye nathi; kwaye asazi ukuba senze ntoni na, kodwa amehlo ethu akuwe. 13Ema ke onke amaYuda phambi koYehova, neentsana zawo, nabafazi bawo, nabantwana bawo. 14uYahaziyeli unyana kaZekariya unyana kaBhenaya unyana kaYehiyeli unyana kaMataniya umLevi woonyana baka-Asafu wafikelwa ngumoya kaYehova, umoya kaYehova wawuphakathi kwebandla fika; 15Wathi, Yivani, nonke maYuda, nani bemi baseYerusalem, nawe kumkani Yehoshafati. Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Musani ukoyika, musani ukoyika, musani ukoyika ngenxa yale ngxokolo inje ukuba ninzi; ngokuba imfazwe asiyeyenu, yekaThixo. 16Yihlani, niye kubabona ngomso; nabo benyuka baya eliweni likaSis; nobafumana ekupheleni komlambo, entlango yaseYeruweli. 17Ize ningalwi eli dabi; yimani, yimani, nilubone usindiso lukaYehova onani, maYuda neYerusalem; musani ukoyika, musani ukoyika; Bahlaseleni ngomso, ngokuba uYehova unani. 18Waqubuda uYehoshafati ngobuso, namaYuda onke nabemi baseYerusalem bawa phambi koYehova, baqubuda kuYehova. 19Basuka bema abaLevi, koonyana bakaKehati, nakoonyana bakaKora, ukuba badumise uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngezwi elikhulu. 20Bavuka kusasa ngengomso, baya entlango yeTekowa; bakuba begqibile, wema uYehoshafati, wathi, Ndiphulaphuleni, nina maYuda, nani bemi baseYerusalem; Kholwani ngoYehova uThixo wenu, niya kuqiniseka; kholwani kubaprofeti bakhe, noba nempumelelo. 21Uthe ke akuba ethethile ebantwini, wamisa iimvumi zozuko lukaYehova, ezidumisa uzuko lobungcwele, ukuba zihambe phambi kwamatyala, zisithi, Dumisani uYehova! Ngokuba ingunaphakade inceba yakhe. 22Yaye kwathi ekuqaliseni kwabo ukumemelela nokuzisola, uYehova wabeka iinkwenkwezi phezu koonyana baka-Amon, nakwaMowabhi, naphezu kweentaba zakwaSehire, ababeza kulwa noYuda; babethwa. 23Oonyana baka-Amon namaMowabhi basukela phezulu kubemi bentaba yakwaSehire, ukuba babaqalekise, babatshabalalise; 24Akufika amaYuda emboniselweni esentlango, asikhangela eso sihlwele, abona ukuba zizidumbu, ziwe emhlabeni, kungekho usindileyo. 25uYehoshafati nabantu bakhe beza kuphanga amaxhoba kubo, bafumana kubo ubutyebi obukhulu, nezidumbu, neempahla ezinqwenelekayo, bazithabathela kubo; ababa nakuhamba nabo; bachitha iintsuku ezintathu beqokelela amaxhoba, nto leyo eyayininzi kakhulu. 26Ngosuku lwesine bahlanganisana entilini yaseBheraga; ngokuba babemnqula khona uYehova; ke ngoko, indawo leyo yathiywa ngokuba yiMoedi waBeraga kude kube namhlanje. 27Abuya, onke amadoda akwaYuda nawaseYerusalem, ekhokelwa nguYehoshafati, ukuba abuyele eYerusalem evuya; ngokuba uYehova wabavuyisa ngenxa yeentshaba zabo. 28Afika eYerusalem enemirhubhe, neehadi, namaxilongo, aya endlwini kaYehova. 29Ukoyika uThixo kwabakho kubo bonke oorhulumente baloo mazwe bakuva ukuba uYehova ulwe neentshaba zikaSirayeli. 30Bathi cwaka ke ubukumkani bukaYehoshafati, ngokuba uThixo wakhe ubemphumzile ngeenxa zonke. 31uYehoshafati waye engukumkani kwaYuda; Ubeminyaka imashumi mathathu anamihlanu ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mabini anamihlanu engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguAsubha, intombi kaSilehi. 32Waqhubeka ehamba ngendlela kayise uAsa, akazange aphambuke ekwenzeni okulungileyo emehlweni kaYehova. 33Ke iziganga azisuswanga; ngokuba abantu bebengayilungisanga intliziyo yabo kuThixo wooyise. 34Ezinye izinto zikaYehoshafati, ezokuqala nezokugqibela, nanzo zibhaliwe encwadini kaYehu unyana kaHanani, ebhalwe encwadini yookumkani bakwaSirayeli. 35Emva koko uYehoshafati, ukumkani wakwaYuda, wema noAhaziya, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, owayesenza ububi obukhulu. 36Wazimanya naye ngokwenza iinqanawa eziya eTarshishe; benza iinqanawa eEsionbhere. 37Waprofeta uEliyezere, unyana kaDodahu waseMaresha, kuYehoshafati, esithi, Ngokunamathela kwakho kuAhaziya, uyaphule uYehova imisebenzi yakho. Zaphuka ke iinqanawa ezo, azaba nako ukuya eTarshishe.
