IziKronike 2-24
1uYowashe ubeminyaka isixhenxe ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mane engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama likanina lalinguSibja waseBher-shebha. 2uYowashe waqhubeka esenza okulungileyo emehlweni kaYehova yonke imihla kaYehoyada umbingeleli. 3uYehoyada wamzekela abafazi ababini; wazala oonyana neentombi. 4Emva koko uYowashe wemka ukuze ayakhe kwakhona indlu kaYehova. 5Wababiza ababingeleli nabaLevi, wathi kubo: “Yiyani ezixekweni zakwaYuda, niqokelele imali kumaSirayeli onke, ukuze kulungiswe indlu yoThixo wenu unyaka nonyaka, niwukhawulezise lo mbandela. Kodwa abaLevi babengangxamanga. 6Ukumkani wambiza uYehoyada umthetheli-waka, wathi kuye, Yini na ukuba ungatshongo kubaLevi, ukuba bazise iminikelo ephuma kwaYuda naseYerusalem, ngokomthetho kaMoses, umkhonzi kaYehova, nowebandla lakwaYuda? Sirayeli, ngaba uthini na kwintente yesingqino? 7Kuba oonyana baka-Ataliya, umfazi ongendawo, babeyidiliza indlu yoTHIXO oyinyaniso; bazinika ooBhahali zonke izipho ezingcwele zendlu kaYehova. 8Ngokomlomo wokumkani, benza ityeya baza bayibeka ngaphandle kwesango lendlu kaYehova. 9Bamemeza kulo lonke elakwaYuda naseYerusalem ukuba kuziswe kuYehova iminikelo uMoses, umkhonzi kaTHIXO oyinyaniso, phezu koonyana bakaSirayeli. 10Zavuyisana zonke iinkosana nabantu bonke, bazisa, baphosa engxoweni, bada bagqiba. 11Xa ingxowa-mali yayiziswe kukumkani ngesandla sabaLevi, yaye bakubona ukuba kukho imali eninzi, unobhala kakumkani nentloko yombingeleli omkhulu beza, bagalela engxoweni. Wayithatha wabuya nayo endlini yakhe. Ngoko benza oko yonke imihla kwaye baqokelela imali eninzi. 12Ukumkani noYehoyada bawanikela kubasebenzi benkonzo yendlu kaYehova; beza neengcibi zamatye, neengcibi zemithi, ukuba ziyihlaziye indlu kaYehova, nesinyithi, nobhedu, zendlu kaYehova. 13Basebenza ke abenzi bomsebenzi, wagqitywa ke umsebenzi ngabo, bayimisa indlu kaThixo, bayiqinisa. 14Bakugqiba ke, bayizisa imali eseleyo phambi kokumkani noYehoyada, ekwenziwe ngayo iimpahla zendlu kaYehova, iimpahla zokulungiselela, nezokubingelela kunye, neenkamba, neempahla zegolide nezesilivere. Yaye aqhubeka ezisa iminikelo etshiswayo endlwini kaYehova yonke imihla kaYehoyada. 15Ke uYehoyada wayeseleyingwevu, ehambisekile ebudaleni, wafa; ubeminyaka ilikhulu elinamanci mathathu ezelwe, ukufa kwakhe. 16Bamngcwabela kwisiXeko sikaDavide phakathi kookumkani, ngenxa yokuba wenza okulungileyo kuSirayeli, kuThixo nakwindlu yakhe. 17Emva kokufa kukaYehoyada, beza abathetheli bakwaYuda, baqubuda kukumkani. Wabaphulaphula ke ukumkani. 18Bayinikela ikhosi indlu kaYehova, uThixo wooyise, bakhonza imithi engcwele noothixo. Afikelwa buburhalarhume amaYuda neYerusalem ngenxa yezikreqo zawo. 19Wathuma abaprofeti kubo bokubabuyisela kuYehova; kwaye banikela ubungqina nxamnye nabo, kodwa abazange babaphulaphule. 20uMoya kaThixo wamthi gqubuthu uZekariya, unyana wombingeleli uYehoyada, wema phambi kwabantu, wathi kubo, Kuthiwe ngenxa kaThixo, Yini na ukuba niyiphule imithetho kaYehova, nize ningabi nampumelelo? ngenxa yokuba nimshiyile uYehova, naye unilahlile. 21Bamvukela baza bamgibisela ngamatye ngokomyalelo kakumkani entendelezweni yendlu kaYehova. 22Ukumkani uYowashe akakukhumbulanga okulungileyo awakwenzayo uYehoyada kuye, wasuka wambulala unyana wakhe. Ekufeni kwakhe wathi, uYehova makakhangele, abuze kuye. 23Ekupheleni komnyaka impi yama-Aram yamxabela, yeza kwaYuda naseYerusalem, yabatshabalalisa bonke abathetheli babantu ebantwini, yathinjwa yonke into yabo yalithumela kukumkani waseDamasko. 24Ngokuba impi yama-Aram yeza inamadoda ambalwa; uYehova wanikela esandleni sawo impi eninzi kunene; ngokuba babemnike umva uYehova, uThixo wooyise. Bamgweba ke uYowashe. 25Xa bamshiyayo (ngenxa yokuba bamshiya egula kakhulu), abakhonzi bakhe bamenzela iyelenqe ngenxa yegazi loonyana bombingeleli uYehoyada, bambulalela esingqengqelweni sakhe, wafa lowo ufileyo; bamngcwaba emzini kaDavide, kodwa abamngcwabelanga emangcwabeni ookumkani. 26Babona ke abo babemenzela iyelenqe; noSabhadi, unyana kaShimehati, umAmon, noYozabhadi, unyana kaZimriti, umMowabhi. 27Ke bona oonyana bakhe neempahla ezinkulu ezazithwalwe kuye, nokuhlaziywa kwendlu yoTHIXO oyinyaniso, nantso ibhaliwe ingxelo yencwadi yookumkani. uAmatsiya unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe.
